- Power & Communication Failure Recovery Verification
- Rationale – To verify that in the event of a power loss or communications failure, the equipment will stop in safe condition.
- Test equipment – None Required.
- Procedure for Power and Communication Failure Recovery test – Operate the equipment in automatic mode or as directed in the User Manual. While the equipment is operating, shut down the power to the main control panel. Record if the equipment stops in a safe and secure condition. Wait for 5 minutes then restore power to the equipment. Check whether system is start running once the power is restored The system is not starting of its own, restart the equipment.
- Acceptance criteria – the equipment stops in a safe and secure condition & Lifted load doesn’t come down by its own weight. the equipment should not start of its own after the power is restored without user permission. the equipment can be restarted with NO problems.
