Precommissioning Procedure for Lighting Control System

1. 7.1. Ensure that the Lighting Control System devices & panels

installation are complete and mechanical completion is approved.

2. Ensure that no damage has occurred between mechanical

completion & pre-commissioning.

3. Repair / replace damaged components, if any.

4. Ensure the Lighting Control, Core Control modules & the panels are properly tagged & identified.

5. Ensure that the wiring termination to the Lighting control Panels are complete.

13. Ensure the system software & the configuration parameters are available.

14. Ensure the lighting control system is interfaced with BMS & interlocked with fire alarm system.

Commissioning Procedure for Lighting Control System

1. Ensure that all the pre-commissioning checks are carried out successfully & are approved.

2. Manually override each circuit using the override ON/OFF switch provided for each circuit in the relay

output module.

3. Test the respective lighting circuits to be ON as per the approved electrical load schedule.

4. Switch ON the power supply to the lighting control panel (LCP) with system devices for each EIB bus line.

5. Check for the communication of all devices i.e. bus couplers, relay output modules/lighting control

modules, twilight switch, etc., with the LCP having the system devices i.e. power supply module.

6. Download the application software in each of the devices (bus couplers and actuator modules) via a note
book PC connected to the RS-232 interface module.

7. Download the application software to the line couplers located in the LCP with system devices & check for
the communication between the line couplers.

8. Test the software loops as per the programmed parameters.

9. Switch ON & OFF the individual gang of the push button switches installed (wherever applicable) & check

that the respective programmed circuits are switched ON & OFF accordingly.

10. Remove the communication bus cable from the power supply module feeding the bus devices & check for
the response of the individual actuators to work in the ‘fail safe’ mode (ON/OFF/As it is now programmed

for AS IT IS mode).

11. Switch ON the power supply for the standalone operation of the lighting control system.

12. Program the TP controller located in the control room to switch ON & OFF the individual groups as
programmed & check the respective programmed circuits are switched ON & Method Statement For the
OFF accordingly.

15. Check for the communications of the line couplers from the lighting PC located in the Central Control
Room.

16. Check floor plans on the lighting graphics as per the as built drawings on the lighting PC located in the
Central Control Room.

17. Check the lighting circuits/luminaries status (ON/OFF) in each floor plan graphics.

18. Manually over ride (light ON/OFF) the lighting circuits through textual graphics on the PC & verify the
lighting circuits status i.e., the color of the lighting fixture is changing or not in the floor plan graphics.

19. Check the lighting circuits switch ON/OFF timings schedule on the lighting PC.

20. The interlock of the lighting system with the fire alarm system shall be checked. It shall be ensured all the
emergency lighting circuits are switched ON in case of fire signal.

21. The interface between the Lighting control system & the BMS system shall also be checked by triggering a

lighting circuit from the BMS work station.
