Appendix C Installation & Commissioning Guide
The following guide provides a step-by-step guide to installing and commissioning a
Stratos Outstation system and can be used as a checklist.
1. Locate a suitable installation location within the target system, ideally this should be
as low as possible in the controller cabinet to reduce operating temperatures and
maximise battery life.
2. Switch off and isolate the target system AC mains supply.
3. Install the Stratos Outstation using suitable hardware (screws etc).
4. Identify a suitable AC mains supply point within the target system. (This should be a
dedicated fused supply)
5. Route the supply mains lead between the supply point and the Stratos Outstation unit
and secure in place using cable ties.
6. Wire the mains supply lead into the AC supply feed identified.
7. Secure the mains lead to the back of the Stratos Outstation unit with a cable tie to the
tie point provided.
8. For lamp supply monitoring, identify the lamp supply point within the target system
and using suitable cable, wire the lamp supply to the Stratos Outstation lamp supply
connector. Ensure that for ELV lamp supplies that the polarity is correct before
plugging into the Stratos Outstation. Refer to Table 12.
9. If external battery backup is being employed, ensure that the battery polarity is correct
before plugging into the general function connector on the Stratos Outstation. Refer to
Table 13.
10. Connect other interfaces using suitable cables as required ensuring the cable looms
are secured using cable ties as appropriate.
11. If the internal battery backup battery is fitted, enable the backup function via the front
panel switch.
12. Power up the unit.
13. Configure and test as required:
a. Current Date / Time & Time zone:
System – Settings – System Date & Time
b. Comms parameters:
•
Stratos:
System - Settings
•
Non-Stratos:
System – Settings – Comms
c. Check required licences are available:
System – Licence System – Manager
d. Check that the Device Inventory is as expected (The required boards can be
found by the CPU board):
