## 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
