accomplish testing with the equipment in operation.

Furnish all labor, materials and appurtenances necessary for supervising the field
tests.

Correct any defects in the equipment or failure to meet the requirements of the
specifications properly.
3.2.2 Test at rated speed to determine the curves of head brake horsepower, and
efficiency as a function of capacity. Take a minimum of six points including shutoff.
Take at least one point as near as possible to each specified condition of head and
capacity. Express capacity in liters per second and express head in meters of water.
Furnish copies of the curves, raw test data, calculated results and sufficient
information for computation and plotting of the curves.
3.2.3 Controls: Ensure that the tests also demonstrate that the equipment operates as
specified with its PCL control system and that it responds to the instrumentation
signals connected to the CCM. Ensure that the communication to the DCS works as
specified and that all listed variables to be transmitted to and from the DCS are
properly sent and received.
3.2.4 Field testing shall be conducted by an experienced field test engineer and will be
witnessed by the owner. Before initially energizing the motors, the contractor shall
have successfully tested all the control, monitoring, and protective circuits. This
through electrical checkout procedures shall have followed a detailed step-by-step
approved test plan. The motor units undergoing tests should also be checked at this
time.

Hydraulic Institute, except as specified herein. Drive each pump by its own drive unit
during the test. Supervise field testing to include checking the operation of the
warning and drive shut-down circuitry. The test will include increasing the loading to
test the mechanical overload protection system.
