Responsibilities

Review this planning guide document and share it with key plant personnel involved in the project.

Determine enclosure mounting positions and conduit routes customized to the generator and ensure that they are within system guidelines.

Select an Electrical Contractor and Coordinate.

Determine the HFCT installation location(s) with help from Cutsforth, using the Planning the Current Transformer (CT) Locations section of this document for guidance.

Determine the monitoring system enclosure mounting location and conduit routing and ensure it is within system requirements.

Mount the monitoring system enclosure with supporting strut channel rails and install required conduit.

Ensure the generator is in the needed condition for the scope of work.

LOTO requirements: Depends upon installation approach.  It is possible to perform this installation with the generator in service.

Provide 120V power (GFI-protected is preferred) for installation tooling.

Provide adequate working access to the installation site including scaffolding if required for worker access.

Perform system testing and commissioning.

Provide control room support for testing signal outputs.

Review InsightCM^TM Server Requirements.

Procure a server for InsightCM^TM (if not done already).

Verify that server meets requirements before installing software.

Verify server prerequisites are checked (IIS Role).

Install InsightCM^TM on the server.

Install the Google Chrome browser on the server.

If using a Windows 10 server, inquire with Cutsforth about the NI RAD Utility. Otherwise, skip this step.

Power on the Cutsforth monitoring equipment.

Configure IP addresses for the Cutsforth monitoring equipment from the server.

Connect the Cutsforth device to the server using an Ethernet or fiber cable.

Create the device’s asset tree in InsightCM^TM and validate.

Create the device in InsightCM^TM using the configured IP addresses.

Configure desired alarm settings, if desired alarms are known.

Using InsightCM^TM, establish a connection to the field device.

Confirm data is being collected, can be viewed in InsightCM^TM, and is accurate. This task would likely be performed by Cutsforth’s Software and Electronics team after the service portion of the installation has been completed.
