SECTION 2: HOT CHECK PROCEDURE (POWER ON)

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

⚠️ WARNING: Live electrical components present. Follow all safety procedures:

  • Wear appropriate PPE (safety glasses, insulated gloves)
  • Use insulated tools
  • Verify all cold checks are complete and passed
  • Ensure proper grounding
  • Have qualified electrician present for initial power-up

PRE-STARTUP CHECKLIST

  • All cold checks completed and passed
  • All field wiring reconnected to proper terminals
  • All panel components secured
  • Laptop with Eclypse or CCT software ready
  • Ethernet Cable and USB network card (if required) available
  • Application software file available

HOT CHECK STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Initial Power-Up

    • Verify all wiring is reconnected per wiring diagrams
    • Turn ON circuit breaker CB for 120VAC
    • Verify 120VAC at transformer primary terminals
    • Check LED power supply (should be lit)
    • Verify 24VAC output from power supply

  2. Controller Connection

    • Connect laptop to controller using available connection
    • Launch Distech Eclypse or CCT software as applicable
    • Discover controller on network (Address should appear)
    • Verify controller firmware version
    • Check controller status (should show “Online”)

  3. Application Software Download

    • Open application software file for this project
    • Verify point schedule matches drawing
    • Download application to controller
    • Wait for download to complete (may take several minutes)
    • Verify download successful (check for errors)
    • Controller may restart - wait for it to come back online

  4. I/O Module Verification

    • In Eclypse or CCT software verify all IOM are online
    • Check that all I/O points are mapped correctly
    • Verify no communication errors

  5. Point Testing Procedure

    • For each point in the Hot Check Tables: a. Navigate to the point in Eclypse or CCT software b. Observe the current reading displayed c. Verify the reading matches expected value d. For inputs: simulate or verify field condition e. For outputs: command the output and verify field device response f. Record PASS if reading/operation is correct g. Record FAIL if reading/operation is incorrect h. Document specific values and issues in Notes column
