9.2.5

Switching Loop 1. The loop can be test by giving open or close signals at the terminal of the instruments. 2. Alarms on the DCS or the annunciator console shall be confirmed. 3. Record the results on the Loop Check Sheet. 4. Fix the GREEN sticker after successful testing.

9.2.6

Control Valves 1. The valves shall be stroke tested by putting the DCS on MANUAL Mode and simulating 0%, 50% and 100% upscale and downscale. 2. The indication of the valve shall be witnessed on the field. 3. Record the results on the Loop Check Sheet. 4. Fix GREEN sticker after successful testing.

9.2.7

On-Off Valve 1. Check the action of the valve by giving signal from the DCS, PLC and Interlock system. 2. Check the solenoid action, limit switch action and record the results on the Loop Check Sheet. 3. Fix the GREEN sticker after successful testing.
