PRELIMINARY PROCEDURES

Ensure that the following tasks were successfully completed:
The ARIES Control Unit is securely mounted in a clean and dry area that has
a normal range of environmental temperatures.
The power supply unit has been configured correctly for the AC supply
voltage.
All field wiring has been checked for continuity, earth grounds, and short
circuits. Wiring resistance and capacitance values have been measured and
recorded, where appropriate.
All SLC-based initiating devices and relay/control modules are electronically
addressed, or will be addressed shortly after the control unit is powered up.
SLC wiring is not connected to the control unit.
The initiating circuits for all AI Monitor Modules are terminated with 10 k
Ohms end-of-line resistors.
Peripheral devices such as RDCMs and ATMs have their address switches
correctly set.
Field wiring for all control unit-based NACs is terminated with 10 kOhm end-
of-line resistors.
All control heads for special-extinguishing systems, if used, are removed
from the agent storage containers.
All actuator circuits have been replaced by simulated loads.
Pre-Action/deluge solenoids are removed from the valves that control the
distribution of water to the sprinkler heads.

INITIAL POWER-UP AND CONTROL-UNIT CHECKOUT

The ARIES power-up procedure is as follows:
1. Close the circuit breaker to apply AC power to the control unit. Verify that
the green "Power On" LED illuminates and the display shows this message
for approximately 15 seconds:
