12 Commissioning
12.1 General information on the use of MPS Stations
MPS stations are generally shipped:
•
Fully assembled
•
Individually adjusted and ready for use
•
Pre-commissioned
•
Tested
When stations are combined, the mechanical setup as well as sensor positions and
settings may have to be changed.
Commissioning is normally limited to visual inspection in order to ensure correct tubing connections, wiring
and operating voltage supply.
All components, tubing connections and cabling are clearly identified so that all of the connections can be
readily restored as required.
