commence operation


Explanation:
Sounds OK to me. The word "operation" shall be included - there might be other words for "satt"?

The term means that you after the installation is completed, check all connections (that they have mains power and/or other power sources like gas etc), and after that test run everything. Sometimes it also includes training of the persons who will use the equipment.

commissioned


Explanation:
Gullberg suggests this rather more formal variant of the other terms, and I agree. "Commissioned" in the sense of "put into operation", not "placed an order". See ref for an example of usage.

Strictly speaking, Mats, I think you are right, and it\'s a valid distinction. Loosely speaking it is not unusual to find it meaning no more than \"put into operation\". But I suppose that in a translation, it\'s best to avoid ambiguity. So in that case your suggestion of \"put into operation\" gets my vote.
