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.

|
|
| Note: The reported battery voltage will vary from approximately | |||
|
|
| 90V to 148V, depending on the state of the battery module | |||
