Startup & Commissioning
Commissioning the system correctly is one of the most important steps in getting a
system installed and functioning with the least amount of problems and in the shortest
length of time.
Procedures
The following is a list of items and reminders that are essential to the successful commis-
sioning of your system. Some of these items have already been discussed in this manual
and are repeated to confirm correct procedures. Familiarize yourself with this installation
manual and the system wiring diagrams before installing!
1) Check to see if you have all of the correct components for your installation.
2) Establish the location for the CommLink Interface first. This is where your
communication cable will begin for the CV & CV-EX systems.
3) Lay out your communication wiring per the instructions in the previous
portion of this manual. For CV Systems, it is only one loop. For CV-EX Sys-
tems, there are two communication loops:
4) The Network Loop - This loop originates at the CommLink and interconnects
MiniLinks together.
5) The Local Loop – This loop originates at the MiniLink. All controllers and the
System Manager are connected to this loop.
6) Tip: Using the Auto-Zone color-coded and labeled Communication Cable
ensures a quality installation. It also makes your installation much easier and
makes it less likely that your system will have communications wiring errors!
7) Always refer to the CV and CV-EX Wiring Diagrams for specific wiring
details. Communication cable must always be shielded – no exceptions!
8) Mount controllers in appropriate locations according to their operating
specification.
9) Use the CV and CV-EX Worksheets included in the back of this section or the
ones included with the submittal package to document unit location, descrip-
tions, addressing, and setup. Address controllers according to location and
addressing instructions located in this system manual.
