6 Commissioning (initial start-up)
6.1 Safety precautions before start-up
DANGER!
To avoid accidents, the following must be observed:
The PQC must be installed in accordance with its intended use before power is
switched on. All the connectors supplied with the instrument must be plugged in.
Before start-up, it must be ensured, for example by means of a closed door or a
suitable cover, that the instrument terminals can no longer be touched.
If the instrument terminals and connecting cables remain exposed during opera-
tion, there is a risk of live components being touched inadvertently. The working
voltage may present a hazard to health or may even be life-threatening.
If the above instructions are followed, and the precautions specified in
[Section
1.2 Safety instructions]
are taken, the risk of damaging equipment and assets or
endangering life and limb can be significantly reduced.
After all installation work has been carried out as described in
[Section 5 Installation]
and the above
safety precautions have been taken, the power supply may be switched on and the PQM 1588
started up.
6.2 Functional checkout
When the power is switched on, it takes several seconds before the PQM 1588 starts up. This is
indicated by all the LEDs lighting up, and then after about 3 seconds going out again. After this,
the
Run
LED starts to flash at intervals similar to a normal heartbeat. Booting up is complete when
all the LEDS light up briefly one after the other.
6.3 Initial configuration
6.3.1 Initial configuration of Function 1: Gateway
The initial configuration of the PQM 1588 as bus gateway is carried out at the instrument website.
Details are given on page 25 and 26 in
[Section 7.3.4 Service functions: RS-485]
.
6.3.2 Initial configuration of Function 2: Data collector
The software SYSTEM-SW is used for the initial configuration of the PQM 1588, and is installed on
the PC with the FRAKONET software package. Instructions for setting the PQM 1588 are given in
the SYSTEM-SW online help section.
The FRAKONET software package is on the DVD supplied with the instrument.
NOTE!
Configuration of the PQM 1588 in SYSTEM-SW is comparable with that of the
EMIS
®
1500 Central Unit. Where the SYSTEM-SW online help section states ‘data
collector’, EMIS or EMIS 1500, the information given can in most cases also be
applied to the PQM 1588.
