Instruction Manuals

The Contractor shall submit four sets of Instruction Manuals and Priced Parts Lists for all mechanical, electrical and instrumentation equipment to the Engineer. The final copies shall be provided to the Engineer within two weeks of the commencement of the Maintenance Period and shall include all revisions necessary to correct for any changes made during installation or checkout.

The manuals shall include not less than the following information for all equipment supplied:

§ General introduction and overall description, purpose, functions, simplified theory of operations, etc., particularly for logic schematics.

§ Specification (including equipment specification data sheets).

§ Installation instructions, procedures, sequences, tolerances and precautions.

§ Operational procedures

§ Shut-down procedures

§ Maintenance, calibration and repair instructions.

§ Greasing and lubrication charts.

§ Schematics and wiring diagrams.
§ mechanical

§ Detailed circuit operational description including programmable controller ladder diagrams.

§ Parts list and spare parts recommendations.

The format of the manuals shall use drawings and pictorials to illustrate the text to the extent necessary to insure a clear, concise presentation. If manuals have been written to cover a family of similar equipment, strike out inapplicable information in a neat fashion or emphasize applicable portion by heavily weighted arrows, circles or boxes; whichever provides the clearest and neatest presentation. Where identical instruments are used in more than one control loop or subsystem, include only one instrument manual. However, an index by tag number for all instruments shall identify its location in that manual.

Control loop and/ or subsystem operational description shall identify the function of each instrument and its relation to the other instruments in the loop.

Each manual shall be bound in a cover which indicates the equipment, panel or process area to which it applies manufacturer’s name, local address and telephone number, and year of purchase.
