Major components are mounted and wiring is routed. Interconnecting wires are attached to the panels. Shrink-fit labels, cable clamps and tie-downs are installed; wires also may be connected to terminals by mechanical fastening or by soldering connections. Checks are made to ensure that all mechanical functions work and that there is room for replacing parts, electrically wire runs may be checked by use of multi-meter or other device. Doors, external labels, engraved identification plates, and viynlites are installed to complete the project, and then the completed unit is submitted to Test and Q.A. Similar procedures are used on various product lines and may require additional specific operations, such as (but not limited to), contact pressure setting to tolerance, drilling and pinning, limit switch functionality checks, or the functionality of any other moving parts and motors are checked for proper rotation direction.
