PLACING INTO OPERATION
9.2.1
GENERAL
This chapter describes the procedure to place an RDU into operation. It assumes that the
mains and other field wiring has been connected, but that the battery has not. Note that all
electronic modules were tested and adjusted in the factory and should need no further
adjustment.
9.2.2
PLACING INTO OPERATION: MAF RDU
VISUAL INSPECTION
Before switching on power, inspect the cabinet and internals. Check as follows:
1.
Check that all equipment is securely mounted, and that all cables are connected at
the appropriate points. The factory checklist is included.
2.
Check the 16 Zone LED Displays if present are fitted and connected correctly.
(Refer Section 8.2.2).
3.
Check that (if required) the additional battery test resistors, 6A power supply and
overcurrent protection device are fitted as per Chapter 5 (with PTCs shorted). Note
that batteries are not yet connected. NOTE : if the daily 40 minute battery test is
enabled, the battery test resistors must be removed.
4.
Check that links Lk2-4 on the MAF are fitted, unless Anc3 is being used as clean
contacts.
5.
Check that a 3 wire comms connection has been made to the FIP with Tx & Rx at the
FIP routed to Rx & Tx respectively at the RDU. Also check that the FIP has been
programmed correctly to send status/ receive commands to/from the RDU.
The "MAINS ISOLATE SWITCH" is located at the top right hand side of the cabinet rear, to
the left of the mains transformer, behind the inner display door. This controls the mains
power to the RDU, charger and power supply, and should be left on once the RDU is
operational.
NOTE: The Battery is not disconnected by the "MAINS ISOLATE SWITCH".
POWER UP
To place the RDU into operation, perform the following steps:
STEP 1
Ensure that the Mains Isolate Switch is OFF.
STEP 2
Ensure that 240 VAC is connected to the panel from the mains distribution
switchboard.
STEP 3
If an E2INIT is required before programming, fit Lk7 on the Controller to the
DATABASE WRITE ENABLE position and fit mini-jump SW1. (Refer to section
Turn the Mains Isolate Switch ON.
