PCS-9785 Satellite-Synchronized Clock
9-2
Date: 2019-07-05
Optional equipment
A portable PC, with appropriate software (this enables the rear communications port to be
tested, if this is to be used, and will save considerable time during commissioning).
EIA RS-485 to EIA RS-232 converter
Tester: HELP-9000
9.4 Setting Familiarization
When commissioning this device for the first time, sufficient time should be allowed to become
familiar with the method by which the settings are applied. A detailed description of the menu
structure of this device is contained in
Chapter "Operation Theory" and Chapter "Settings"
.
With the front cover in place, all keys are accessible. All menu cells can be read. The LED
indicators and alarms can be reset. Protection or configuration settings can be changed, or fault
and event records cleared. However, menu cells will require the appropriate password to be
entered before changes can be made.
Alternatively, if a portable PC is available together with suitable setting software (such as
PCS-9700 HMI software), the menu can be viewed one page at a time to display a full column of
data and text. This PC software also allows settings to be entered more easily, saved to a file on
disk for future reference or printed to produce a setting record. Refer to the PC software user
manual for details. If the software is being used for the first time, allow sufficient time to become
familiar with its operation.
9.5 Product Checks
These product checks cover all aspects of the device that should be checked to ensure that it has
not been physically damaged prior to commissioning, is functioning correctly and all input quantity
measurements are within the stated tolerances.
If the application-specific settings have been applied to the device prior to commissioning, it is
advisable to make a copy of the settings to allow them restoration later. This could be done by
extracting the settings from the device itself via printer or manually creating a setting record.
9.5.1 With the Device De-energized
This device is numerical and the hardware is continuously monitored. Commissioning tests can be
kept to a minimum and need only include hardware tests and conjunctive tests. The function tests
are carried out according to user’s correlative regulations.
The following tests are necessary to ensure the normal operation of the equipment before it is first
put into service.
Hardware tests
These tests are performed for the following hardware to ensure that there is no hardware
defect. Defects of hardware circuits other than the following can be detected by
self-monitoring when the DC power is supplied.
