Follow these steps for first start-up and any time that the system is restarted after having been shut completely down with no power applied to the system.

Verify the following before starting the RPP:
1. The upstream input breaker is in the open (OFF) position.
2. The input power cables have been correctly connected to the main input breaker(s) in the RPP. See Connect the Input Cables for details.
3. Phase sequence on input is correct.
4. The load power cables have been connected correctly to the branch breakers. See Connect the Load to the Branch Breakers for details.
5. Correct torque has been applied to all power connections. See Torque Specifications for details.
6. Voltage connected to the RPP matches the RPP nameplate and model number.
7. All equipment has been properly grounded.
8. All signal cables are installed correctly.
9. All ventilation areas are free for obstructions that might impair proper airflow.
Close the upstream input breaker.
Close the main input breaker(s) in the RPP.
Verify the function of the installed power meters in the RPP.
Close the individual branch breakers in the RPP as required.

Verify normal operation of the RPP immediately after the start-up has been performed.

Use the display to verify proper readings from all circuits.
For the first start-up of the RPP, perform the following steps to enable configuration via the display:
