Chapter 5 - System Setup

Installation Test

Note: This test is intended to verify the correct setup and instal- lation of the SymmetraTM system. It is not intended to explain its usage. In this procedure, you will be instructed to ignore PowerView messages. Refer to chapters 6 & 7 for detailed infor- mation about the operation of SymmetraTM.

The following test procedure is intended to ensure that the MIM, RIM and the power and battery modules have been correctly installed. It will verify that the SymmetraTM is re- sponding correctly and is ready to deliver power to the load equipment. A qualified electrician and/or the installer of the SymmetraTM system should perform this test.

Before this test can be conducted, the main intelligence mod- ule (MIM), the PowerView display, at least one power mod- ule and at least one battery module must be properly installed. Read the installation procedures provided in this chapter.

figure 5-15. Verify that the input voltage is 220V, 230V or
240V nominal, that the output voltage reads “000Vout,” and
that all four of the PowerView LED indicator lights are off.

		Verfiy the following:
		q The number of battery modules reported (01 in the
		example below) is the same as the actual number of
		battery modules that are installed.
		q The number of “bad” modules reported is zero.
		q A minimum of 90V of battery voltage is reported.
		Note: The reported battery voltage will vary from approximately
		90V to 148V, depending on the state of the battery module

		leave the system enable switch and the input circuit breaker in
		the “on” position, and allow the Power Array to remain idle for
		30 minutes.)
