9.0 Operational Checkout and System Commissioning
9.1 Operational Checkout
The following procedure can be used to verify that the system has been installed properly
and that it is operational following field installation and/or a corrective action, such as
replacement of a system component.
This procedure is divided into two parts; first, is a visual inspection that can be performed
prior to turning the system on; and second, is a step-by-step procedure that shall be
performed to ensure the system is fully operational. Troubleshooting is embedded within
the body of this procedure.
9.1.1 Visual Inspection
The following should be checked visually. If you notice defects, immediately notify the
installer and have each issue resolved.
1. If structural holes were drilled to pass cable, check the following:
• Make certain that the insulation on all cables is intact, with no cracks or abrasions.
Ensure that no bare wire is exposed, and that no dielectric material is exposed.
• Make certain a rubber grommet has been installed in every hole drilled through
metal. This will prevent future damage to the cables passing through these holes.
• Make certain that a silicon sealant has been applied to every location that a cable
passes through the exterior of the vehicle. This will prevent water ingress.
• Equipment mounted inside the vehicle should be positioned such that a minimal
amount of cabling has to be used, particularly for powering.
2. Cables that originate outside should be routed in as professional manner as possible.
Full use shall be made of headlines and channels within the vehicle to conceal cables
as much as practical. Check the following wiring:
• From the Garrett Ethernet switch (RJ45 connectors), make the following
connections:
• To the Ethernet connection on the Gateway Router. If mounted outdoors, verify
connection is shielded for outdoor use
• To the top left Ethernet connection on the Gateway Server (near the DB-9
connector)
• To the top left Ethernet connection on the MMR System (near the DB-9
connector).
