EQUIPMENT/ SYSTEM TESTING CERTIFICATION
values representing zero percent, ten percent, and eighty percent of full scale.
3. The inputs and outputs of devices, as appropriate, shall be connected to
manometers for differential pressure devices, or compared to measured levels,
rates or quantities, during calibration. The receiving devices shall be adjusted
to read the calibrated output of the initial calibration.
4. After placing each measuring system in service, an actual comparison of the
measured variable versus readout shall be made. For each differential
pressure based measuring system, a manometer shall be connected to the
connections provided in the piping, tank or other appropriate device. Each
system shall meet the manufacturer's standard accuracy.
5. Secondary functions, such as sequencing, timing features, alarm actuation and
pacing shall be adjusted during initial calibration and demonstrated after the
system is placed in service.
6. Linkage or range adjustments shall be sealed by colored lacquer in the
presence of the Engineer immediately following calibration.
7. Process calibration, such as volumetric drawdown tests on flows and level
measurements, shall be conducted on all measuring systems as requested by
the Engineer. Once established as being within acceptable accuracy limits,
future tests which require use of the measuring device to demonstrate system
operations can utilize generation of mA signals to simulate level, flow or
similar variable variations.
8. Refer to Section 15604, as applicable, for additional details.
Minimum Certified Equipment Testing Requirements for Electrical Systems.
1. Refer to 16950.
OPERATOR TRAINING
A.
Operator Training shall be performed by a duly authorized representative of the
manufacturer, who is fully trained in the installation, startup and operation of the
equipment.
Unless otherwise noted within the specific specification sections, provide minimum
of one day (8-hour days, not including travel time) of combined training and
operational assistance for plant operators for each piece of equipment in the proper
operations of provided equipment, and in the techniques, methods, schedules, etc.
associated with maintenance.
The level of the training and operational assistance provided shall be as required to
ensure proper understanding of the equipments operations, maintenance and
warranty conditions. Should manufacturer require time in addition to the
minimums indicated herein, or within the individual specification sections, to
sufficiently detail the proper operations and maintenance of the equipment, it will
be provided at no additional cost to Owner. Under absolutely no circumstances
shall warrantees become void due to Owner's failure to follow operational and
maintenance procedures which were not fully detailed and described to Owner's
representatives during these sessions.
At the Owner’s discretion, the training sessions may be video recorded for the
Owner’s future use.
Refer to individual equipment specification sections for further requirements.
The manufacturer representative shall fill out the Equipment Training Certification
form included within this Section. Training will not be considered complete until
this form has been provided to the Engineer.
