COMMISSIONING
5.1
Overview
Controllers purchased from Sierra Monitor as part of a fully engineered system are factory configured and
tested prior to shipment. In this case Sensor discovery and Module Configuration may not be necessary.
It is recommended to inspect and power up the system and move directly to the functional test phase.
5.2
Power Up
Perform a careful inspection to ensure that all field wires in the cabinet are correctly installed. Check to
make sure there are no loose materials or tools in the enclosure. Apply external power and wait for the
TPC display to complete its boot process. After a successful boot the Controller GUI default home page
will be displayed.
5.2.1 Confirm Sensor Module Operation
By referring to the instruction manual for each gas sensor type, confirm that all modules connected to the
controller are operational. This confirmation can generally be accomplished by a quick visual check to see
that the module display is active. Every 30 seconds the module will display a banner including the module
address. Keep a log of the module address settings to confirm there are no duplicate addresses.
5.3
Discover Sensors
To discover sensors, touch the following keys and menu items on the TPC display:
•
M key five times
•
System Management, then E
•
Configuration, then E
•
Manage Module Map, then E
•
Initiate Module Discovery, then E
•
Confirm with E
•
Repeat this process until all modules show on TCP display
The discovered modules will be displayed in a table. If any module is not displayed, repeat the Initial
Module Discovery process.
NOTE: If any module is missing, begin troubleshooting to determine why the modules are not
being recognized by the controller.
5.3.1 Troubleshooting Missed Modules
Use the following table to identify the inspection point for troubleshooting any module numbers that are
missing from the TPC display after module discovery. When the problem is resolved repeat the discovery
routine until all modules are recognized on the TPC display.
Problem
Action
All modules missing
The inspection point is at the controller input stack.
All modules on one wiring channel missing
The inspection point is at the channel connection on the input stack.
One module missing
The inspection point is at the field sensor module. Check wiring and
sensor module address switch
– to avoid duplicate addresses.
