Commissioning
Initial startup of the instrument will normally be carried out by a
trained engineer and is typically included as part of the purchase
contract. The full startup and configuration procedure is detailed and
can be complex for some applications. It is therefore recommended
that initial startup should not be attempted by the user, unless they
have significant experience with the instrument on the specific
application.
When commissioning is requested, a confirmation of site readiness
will be required. This will normally be in the form of the Site
Requirements Checklist, which is to be returned to the office
organizing the work. The user must complete this form to confirm
that the installation site is ready before the engineer will be allowed
to travel to site.
The procedure followed by the commissioning engineer will include
the following steps.
Note:
User and or site personnel may be required for some of these
steps. The schedule, content, and availability of user and or site
personnel should be agreed before work commences.
1.
Verification of Site
A brief inspection will be carried out to ensure that the site has
been prepared and all site services are available in accordance
with the site requirements detailed in
2.
Verification of Hardware
An inspection of the hardware will be carried out to verify that no
visible transit damage has occurred. The delivered hardware will
also be checked with the user to verify that it is consistent with
the order.
