Switches Loop Checks Procedure

Level, Pressure, Temperature Switches Loop Checks

  1. Check and verify the DCS / ESD configuration for applicable points.

  2. Simulate the contact operation (Make / Break) at the switch terminal block and verify the status in the DCS / ESD. However, ESD switch case actual pressure simulation to be provided with hand pump.

  3. ESD hand switches, Start / Stop, Open / Close shall be checked by operating the switch mechanism.

Hand Switches Loop Checks

  1. Power up loop, check contact status as expected.

  2. Check and verify the DCS/SIS configuration for applicable loop.

  3. Hand switches (Including SIS), Start / Stop, Open/Close shall be checked by operating the switch mechanism for both hardware & software switches.

  4. Complete QC documentation and sign off after clearance of punch list items.
