2. The technician will check the refrigerant charge per
the charging sticker information on the outdoor unit.
3. Verify that system total static pressure and airflow set
tings are within specific operating parameters.
4. Verify correct temperature drop across indoor coil.
IMPORTANT
This performance check is ONLY valid on systems that have clean indoor and outdoor coils, proper airflow over coils,
and correct system refrigerant charge. All components in the system must be functioning properly to correctly perform
compressor operational check. (Accurate measurements are critical to this test as indoor system loading and outdoor
ambient can affect variations between low and high capacity readings).
