ACUAIR FACTORY START-UP ASSISTANCE
Responsibilities of Parties in Coordinating Factory Start-up
Attention: Factory Sales Reps, Project Engineers, Installing Contractors, Project Owners
Factory start-up assistance is often included in the purchase price of AcuAir equipment. When factory start-up assistance is
sold with the equipment, it is crucial for all parties involved in the completion of any project to understand and carry out their
respective responsibilities prior to scheduling factory start-up personnel.
The purpose of factory start-up assistance is to provide final testing and calibration, to ensure that the equipment is
functioning in compliance with the design specifications of the factory order. It does not include installation or assembly of any
components shipped separately from the factory.
The factory start-up assistance includes one trip of a factory technician who will provide this service. It is our policy to bill
additional time and travel expenses of any additional labor or expenses incurred in the event that the unit is not completely
ready when the factory technician arrives.
The included factory start-up assistance is available Monday through Friday, except holidays, during normal and reasonable
working hours. Customers with narrow time constraints, resulting in excessive overtime for factory start-up technicians, will
be invoiced for the additional overtime hours incurred. Customers requiring Saturday or Sunday start-up of equipment will be
billed at a weekend rate. Weekend and holiday start-up of equipment is NOT included in the sell price of the equipment! If you
require a weekend start-up, consult your factory sales representative for scheduling availability and cost.
Factory start-up assistance should be requested at least two weeks prior to the start-up date. A request for start-up
assistance is initiated by completing the AcuAir Prestart-up Checklist. E-mail, fax or mail the checklist to the factory per the
instructions noted at the bottom of the checklist. Once the checklist is received, a factory representative will work with you to
determine the best available date that a factory technician can be at the job site.
Factory Start-up Assistance will include:
• Testing and calibration of all AcuAir control components provided by Johnson Controls.
•
Tuning of control system parameters and verification that control points are held within acceptable tolerance.
• Adjustment and testing of gas burners.
•
Test and verification of all AcuAir safety and limit controls provided by Johnson Controls.
• The factory start-up technician will provide a basic control system review, basic troubleshooting
training, and instruction regarding any AcuAir operator interface controls provided by Johnson Controls.
This is a limited training which is adequate for most job sites. Additional training for maintenance crews
or site owners is available at extra cost. Contact your sales representative for pricing.
Factory Start-up Assistance will not include:
• Piping of the gas supply lines to the unit or setting of gas regulators external to the unit.
• Wiring any connection of electrical power required to operate the equipment.
• Wiring or installation of external control devices. This includes items shipped separately such as
sensors, valves, gages, etc.
• Wiring remote panels to the unit.
• Drainpipe plumbing and heat tape installation on drainpipe.
• Piping pneumatic tubing runs required by room pressure sensing controls.
• Wire connections at unit shipping splits.
• Air balancing of the room supply, return, and exhaust air. NOTE: Your factory technician will
attempt to set control systems to deliver balanced room conditions, but absolute verification of
air volumes and final adjustment is up to others.
• Filter installation.
• Piping of refrigerant lines or valves, settings of refrigerant line regulators.
• Assembly and installation of ship-separate mechanical, such as hoods.
• Assembly or installation of ductwork or diffuser systems.
Our factory service technicians are committed to providing customer satisfaction. Due to travel restrictions, they are limited
as to the amount of tools that can be carried on a given trip. Please take the time to review this document to be sure that all
facets of project construction and completion are assigned and understood by all participants.
When the project is complete, please fill out and send the following AcuAir Prestart-up Check List.
