1.3 Sequence of Equipment Testing
1.3.1 Overall Sequence
The tests shallbe performed in the following order for single or multiple line equipment:
Section 1.4 Connecting Arrangements
Section 1.5 Operational Check
Section 3.0 Network Protection Requirements and Tests
Section 2.1 (Part I) Mechanical Shock
Section 2.2 (Part I) Dielectric Strength
Section 2.3 (Part I) Hazardous Voltage Limitations
Section 2.4 (Part I) Surge Voltage (Type B)
Section 1.5 Operational Check
Section 3.0 Network Protection Requirements and Tests
Section 2.2 (Part I) Dielectric Strength
Section 2.3 (Part I) Hazardous Voltage Limitations
Section 2.4 (Part I) Surge Voltage (Type A)
Section 1.5 Operational Check
Section 3.0 Network Protection Requirements and Tests
Note 1:
- Section 2.2 (Part I) specifies the requirements and tests for dielectric strength to assure protection of the network from hazardous voltages arising from AC powered TE , as well as from non-registered equipment connected to TE .
- Sections 2.3 and 2.4 (Part I) specify the requirements and tests for:
- environmental conditioning electrical stress prior to repeating tests of Section 3.0; and
- hazardous voltage isolation.
Note 2: The steady state voltage stress tests specified in Section 2.3 (Part I) shall be performed prior to the electrical surge tests specified in Section 2.4 (Part I).
1.4 Connecting Arrangements
TE intended for direct electrical connection shall be equipped with a cord and plug or chassis mounted connector in accordance with Part III, and shall identify the connectorcodes used.
1.5 Operational Check
The TE shall be fully operational when checked in accordance with the operating instructions for all features which aredescribed in the manufacturer's instruction manual and which are necessary to allow demonstration of compliance with all applicable requirements of Section 3.0.
2.0 Electrical and Mechanical Stresses
Refer to Part I, Section 2.0.
