    Sequence of tests in guidance note 3 (initial verification)

    How come the sequence of tests in guidance note 3 is that the Zs test comes before the PFC test? Isn't it normal to do PFC test before the Zs test? Because then you can do your PFC test, put the board cover on and energize the board without coming back to do the PFC test.

    Hello 1. When taking R1+R2 readings on the AM2 composite installation are we expected to take the reading at the supply side of the FCU (S-plan & CO detector circuits) or at the farthest point of the circuit?
