Application start-up

START-UP THE APPLICATION
  1. Once again inspect by hand the conduits and connections for the heating cable, to be certain that no mechanical damage have occurred if some time have passed between the installation and the start-up.
  2. Insulate test the system in order to determine that no earth faults occurred as a result of mechanical damage.

For application with thermostat feeling the ambient temperature

  1. If the temperature is higher than the set-up of the thermostat, change the set-up to sufficient high for switch.
  2. Switch on the main circuit breaker.
  3. Switch on the operating breaker one by one until every one is on.
  4. Run the system at least four hours to let all pipes reach the operating temperature.
  5. Measure the current value, ambient temperature and pipe temperature for each circuit and write it down in the installation protocol. This information can be needed for future maintenances and location of faults.
  6. When the system is totally checked, reset the thermostat to prescribed value.

For system which have been supplied with fit-up transmitter:

  1. Set the required temperature on the thermostat.
  2. Switch on the main circuit breaker.
  3. Switch on the operating breaker one by one until everyone is on.
  4. Allow the pipe temperature to increase to operating temperature. This can take 5-10 hours (large, full tanks can take longer time).
  5. Measure the current value, ambient temperature and pipe temperature for each circuit and write it down in the installation control. This information can be needed for future maintenances and location of faults.
