D. System Power (230 V AC) Up

1. Check 230 V AC available at terminal 1&2
2. Switch 'ON' Circuit breaker 'MCB', check voltage on its output terminals.
3. Check Voltage on its output terminals; ensure the respective output devices are 'ON' such as Fan unit, Panel Lamp and Field PS units. Ensure all control system modules are in 'ACTIVE'.

E. Field Output Power (24V DC) Up

1. Check the 230 V AC power on the input terminals of 24V DC power supply unit.
2. Switch 'ON' power supply and check voltage on their output terminals respectively. 
3. Note: Using a test meter measure the power supply module (off load) and ensure that the measured output voltage is 24V DC + 5%. If the DC voltage is outside of the specified limit, adjust power supply output in accordance with the manufacturer's guide.
4. Ensure System Healthiness as below:
5. Ensure the main rack power supply does not show any alarm
6. Ensure no alarm on the IO modules after power up of the 24V DC field power supply.

F. Power Consumption
