8 Site Commissioning
8.1 Site commissioning introduction
During site commissioning, the eSite x10 configurations are finalized. The site commissioning verifies that the eSite x10 is set up correctly and that it will operate as intended. This decreases the risk of unplanned outages and downtime. The site commissioning is a quality-oriented procedure used to make sure that eSite x10 and its associated systems work properly together and meet with their objectives.
The site commissioning is performed on site after the eSite x10 has been installed and before the eSite x10 is operational.
8.2 Prepare for site commissioning
Before site commissioning is started, the installation of the eSite x10 and the associated systems must be finished.
8.2.1 Site commissioning equipment
Note
It is not always possible to charge a mobile phone or laptop on the site. Make sure that your devices are fully charged and/or bring more batteries or a charger cable to charge the mobile phone or laptop batteries.
Mobile phone or laptop with an Internet browser installed, and with an available Ethernet port and/or Wi-Fi.
Ethernet network cable (if you use a laptop and if Wi-Fi is not possible).
8.2.2 Check of the electrical installation
Warning
Make sure that all circuit breakers and fuses are switched off before you do a check of the electrical installation.
Re-tighten all terminals that have a screw connection to make sure that the electrical installation is correct. Use tools with insulation.
8.2.3 Power up for site commissioning
Engage MCBs for the associated systems and start up the eSite x10.
8.3 eSite Web
The Site Commissioning is performed via the eSite Web interface. Access to the eSite Web requires a network connection to the eSite x10 system. Follow the steps describe in this section to connect to the eSite x10 and complete the Site Commissioning.
8.3.1 Possibilities to connect
You can connect to the eSite Web through an Ethernet cable or through Wi-Fi. Your available equipment dictates how you connect.
8.3.2 Connect with Wi-Fi/WLAN
Use your mobile phone or laptop to scan for new wireless networks.
Click on the network that starts with eSite followed by digits (the digits show the eSite x10s serial number).
Write the password for the wireless connection. The password is retrieved from eSite Power Systems. Select WPA & WPA2 Personal (WPA2, PSK, TKIP, CCMP) if an encrypted method is necessary.
Your mobile phone or laptop connects to the network automatically. If the connection is not set up, make sure that the network adjustments in your mobile phone or laptop are configured to use DHCP.

Select 'Commissioning' to start the guide.
In the first part of the site commissioning guide, site specific data is added.
In the second part of the site commissioning guide you will verify that the power cable from genset, grid and/or solar are properly connected and that the eSite x10 is able to start the genset.
In the third part of the site commissioning guide, you will verify that no alarms are active.
