equipment, terminal strips, fuses, plastic ducts, raceways,
pushbuttons, name plates, annunciators, rack-mounted
equipment, power supplies, convenience outlets, lighting and
grounding strips. Electronic equipment manufacturer and
model numbers shall be shown.

6 Electrical
6.1.1 Power wiring for field instruments, all input and output points, two-
wire analog transmission loops, field switch contacts, etc., shall be
individually fused and provided with a means of disconnecting the
power without disturbing terminated wiring (e.g., knife-switch-type
terminal blocks).
6.2.1 Power supply outputs shall be individually fused or protected by a
circuit breaker.
6.2.2 Power Supply terminal block distribution wiring shall not be daisy-
chained using wires or crimp connectors. Jumper bars or
preformed jumper combs designed for the specific terminal blocks
being used are acceptable methods of distributing power supply
wiring.
6.3 Wire Installation
6.3.1 Splices are not permitted in wiring. When wiring must be
extended, connections shall be made via terminal blocks.
6.3.2 Twist-on wire nut connectors shall not be used for making any
electrical instrumentation terminations.
6.3.3. Separate plastic ducts are preferable for all Signal Categories that
require separation for organization and noise reduction. Signal
Categories with upper values of zero separation may be mixed in a
plastic duct. Signal Categories shall not be mixed within any single
multi-core cable.
6.4 Wire Specifications
6.4.1 General power wiring shall be minimum 14 AWG stranded, copper,
PVC-insulated or cross-linked polyethylene. Wire insulation shall
be rated for 600 volts, 75°C, minimum.
6.4.2 Electronic signal wire shall be stranded copper, minimum size 20
AWG, 300 V for single conductors or a minimum 22 AWG, 300 V
for multi-core cable. Wire insulation shall be cross-linked
polyethylene, PVC, or PTFE, with a minimum temperature rating of
75°C. Special electronic signal wires shall be as described in the
Purchase Order.
6.5 Wiring Methods
6.5.1 Cabinets containing electronic equipment with field inputs/outputs
(I/O) (e.g., field termination assemblies, I/O modules, etc.) shall
have the I/O device pre-wired to intermediate terminal strips within
the same cabinet.
6.5.2 When screw-type terminals are provided on instruments and other
electrical devices, solder-less crimp/compression connectors shall
be used for connecting stranded copper conductors. Insulated ring
lugs, locking-fork or flanged- fork connectors, specifically designed
to hold the connector on the terminal in the event of loosening of
the terminal screw, shall be used on all such connections.
6.8 Terminal Strips
6.8.1 The termination method shall be channel (rail)-mounted terminal
blocks.
6.8.2 Terminal strip spacing shall allow ample room for plastic wire ducts
and permit training and lacing of cables, and fanning of individual
wires to termination points. Each terminal strip shall be labeled
above or below with the terminal strip number, as shown on wiring
diagrams. Terminals for similar (AC or DC) current service shall be
grouped together and physically separated from terminals for

8 Testing
8.1 Functional Test
8.1.1 THE CLIENT will approve FAT and SAT. The Vendor is
responsible for providing all test equipment required to perform the
tests described in this section. In addition, he shall perform full
functional tests and confirm that any problems have been resolved
prior to inviting Buyer's representative for the Buyer-witnessed
functional test.
8.1.2 The complete system including all modules and interconnecting
wiring shall be subject to both hardware and software functional
tests. These tests shall demonstrate the functionality of each
individual component module within the integrated system,
including individual I/O point tests. Wire tagging and terminations
shall be checked and "Tug" tested. (A tug test involves physically
stressing a wire termination to determine whether it has been
crimped and terminated properly. The intent is not to break wiring
or stress insulation but to test the integrity of the termination).
8.1.3 All software logic/application programs shall be checked against
binary logic diagrams and dynamically tested and verified for
proper sequence and functionality. The dynamic test will involve
physically simulating all inputs and outputs in their proper
operational sequence, unexpected operational sequence, and on
power up to verify that the application program logic is executed
properly.
8.1.4 Vendor shall submit their own testing, installation, commissioning
and acceptance procedure which shall include: purpose of test, test
definition, result expected and acceptance criteria.
8.1.5 Functional testing shall include the simulation of each input and
output to verify proper system response. The testing shall include:
- Visual Inspection and mechanical testing
Testing for correct operation of the shutdown sequence, in
accordance with the logic diagrams, when varying input
status
- Testing shutdown time from the moment of input status
change
Vendor shall test and demonstrate the functional integrity on system Hardware and
Software. No material or equipment shall be transported until all required tests are
successfully completed.
Vendor will send a list of his standard and optional tests. THE CLIENT reserves the
right to involve for its satisfaction at each and every stage of inspection. The cost of
performing all tests shall be borne by the vendor.
Vendor will modify and replace any hardware and software if the specified functions
are not achieved satisfactorily during factory acceptance test.
The schedule and a detailed list of component for the factory testing shall be included
in the proposal by the vendor.
