Section 1 Introduction
1.1 This manual GUID-AB423A30-13C2-46AF-B7FE-A73BB425EB5F v21
The commissioning manual contains instructions on how to commission the IED. The manual can also be
used by system engineers and maintenance personnel for assistance during the testing phase. The
manual provides procedures for the checking of external circuitry and energizing the IED, parameter
setting and configuration as well as verifying settings by secondary injection. The manual describes the
process of testing an IED in a substation which is not in service. The chapters are organized in the
chronological order in which the IED should be commissioned. The relevant procedures may be followed
also during the service and maintenance activities.
1.2 Intended audience GUID-C9B8127F-5748-4BEA-9E4F-CC762FE28A3A v11
This manual addresses the personnel responsible for commissioning, maintenance and taking the IED in
and out of normal service.
The commissioning personnel must have a basic knowledge of handling electronic equipment. The
commissioning and maintenance personnel must be well experienced in using protection equipment, test
equipment, protection functions and the configured functional logics in the IED.

The engineering manual contains instructions on how to engineer the IEDs using the various tools
available within the PCM600 software. The manual provides instructions on how to set up a PCM600
project and insert IEDs to the project structure. The manual also recommends a sequence for the
engineering of protection and control functions, as well as communication engineering for IEC 61850.
The installation manual contains instructions on how to install the IED. The manual provides procedures
for mechanical and electrical installation. The chapters are organized in the chronological order in which
the IED should be installed.
The commissioning manual contains instructions on how to commission the IED. The manual can also be
used by system engineers and maintenance personnel for assistance during the testing phase. The
manual provides procedures for the checking of external circuitry and energizing the IED, parameter
setting and configuration as well as verifying settings by secondary injection. The manual describes the
process of testing an IED in a substation which is not in service. The chapters are organized in the
chronological order in which the IED should be commissioned. The relevant procedures may be followed
also during the service and maintenance activities.
The operation manual contains instructions on how to operate the IED once it has been commissioned.
The manual provides instructions for the monitoring, controlling and setting of the IED. The manual also
