Appendix - RTU Commissioning
After an RTU has been installed on site, it needs to be made operational. The process of powering up the
RTU, downloading software, checking hardware inputs and outputs and establishing communications is
referred to as commissioning. The following sections detail the steps involved in the most common
installations.
RTU Standard Commissioning
• Check if the correct modules are installed in the correct slots (Refer to RTU Layout Drawings).
• Check backup battery voltage (should be >12V).
• Check that the power supply has been correctly wired (polarity and voltage) and then power up the RTU.
Note: if a radio is present, ensure the antenna is properly connected before powering up the RTU and
radio.
• For AC powered PC-1 sites, ensure that the PSU-3 voltage is set to 13.8VDC.
• For solar sites, check if the supply voltage from the Solar Regulator is in the desired voltage range.
• Check if the RTU will communicate with Toolbox by viewing the RTU Status.
• Check that all the modules appear in the Hardware Overview and in the correct slots. If the slot numbers
are incorrect, the backplane rack switches will probably need to be changed (please see the Kingfisher
Hardware Manual or the information written on the backplane).
• Download the RTU configuration and ladder logic (compile the ladder first).
• Check functionality of I/O modules. Simulate a digital input by hard-wiring 12 or 24 VDC to the digital
input channel. Check that Digital Output channels can be turned ON and OFF using Toolbox.
• If the RTU includes a PS-1/11, RT-1 or IO-4 strain gauge input, calibrate the module according to the
appendix - Calibrating RTU Modules.
