9.2 Commissioning Tests
Preparation
After the C232 has been installed and connected as described in Chapter 5, the
commissioning procedure can begin.
Before turning on the power supply voltage, the following items must be checked again:
Is the device connected to the protective ground at the specified location?
Does the nominal voltage of the battery agree with the nominal auxiliary voltage of
the device?
Are the current and voltage transformer connections, grounding, and phase
sequences correct?
After the wiring work is completed, check the system to make sure it is properly isolated.
The conditions given in VDE 0100 must be satisfied.
Once all checks have been made, the power supply voltage may be turned on. After
voltage has been applied, the device starts up. During startup, various startup tests are
carried out (see section entitled ‘Self-Monitoring’ in Chapter 3). The LED indicator
labeled ‘HEALTHY’ (H1) and the LED indicator labeled ‘OUT OF SERVICE’ (H2) will
light up. (The LED indicator H2 is coupled to the signal MAIN: Blocked/faulty.)
After approximately 15 s, the C232 is ready for operation. In initial, factory-set condition
or after a cold restart, the device type 'C232' and the time of day will be displayed in the
first line of the LCD display. If a bay type has already been set, the bay will be displayed
in single-pole representation.
Once the change-enabling command has been issued (see the Section Change-
Enabling Function in Chapter 6), all settings can be entered. The procedure for entering
settings from the integrated local control panel is described in Chapter 6.
Note: First set the desired bay type (MAIN: Type of bay in the "Par/Conf/"
folder). When the bay type is set, the binary signal inputs and output relays
are automatically configured to conform to the definitions specified for the
bay type (see List of Bay Types) – provided that the automatic configuration
is enabled at MAIN: Auto-assignment I/O.
After the enter key (E) is pressed to confirm the 'Type of bay' setting
parameter, the 'Initializing bay' signal is displayed for 20 s. The “EDIT
MODE” LED will light up. Local control actions are not possible during this
time.
