The Startup Record located in this manual is used in conjunction with this startup procedure to provide a detailed record of the
installation. A completed copy should be left on site, a copy kept on file by the installer and a copy should be sent to Maritime Geo-
thermal Ltd.
Check the boxes or fill in the data as each step is completed. For data boxes, circle the appropriate units.
Pre-Start Inspection
Ductwork:
1. Verify that all ductwork has been completed and is firmly attached to the unit. Verify that any dampers or diverters are
properly set for operation of the heat pump.
2. Verify that all registers are open and clear of any objects that would restrict the airflow.
3. Verify that a new air filter is installed and the cover is secured.
4. Verify the condensate drain is connected, properly vented and free of debris.
5. If a plenum heater has been installed, verify that it is securely fastened to the ductwork.
Outdoor Loop (Ground Loop):
1. Verify that all shutoff valves are fully open and there are no restrictions in the piping from the heat pump to the ground loop,
and that full flow is available to the heat pump.
2. Verify that the entire system has been flooded and all the air has been purged as much as possible. Further purging may
be required after the system has been operating for a while.
3. Verify that the loop contains the proper mix of antifreeze for the intended application. Record the type of antifreeze and the
mixture value on the startup sheet; circle % Vol. or % Weight.
4. Record the static loop pressure on the startup sheet.
Outdoor Loop (Open Loop):
1. Verify there are no leaks in the connections to the unit. Verify the water valve is installed and properly oriented in the
water out line.
2. Verify that there is flow control in water out line.
Electrical:
1. Ensure the power to the unit is off. Ensure the power to the plenum heater is off if equipped.
2. Verify all high voltage connections. Ensure that there are no stray wire strands, all connections are tight and the ground
wire is connected tightly to the ground connector for the heat pump and plenum heater.
3. Record the fuse / circuit breaker size and wire gauge for the heat pump. Record the fuse / circuit breaker size, wire gauge
and size of the plenum heater if installed.
4. Verify that the control connections to the thermostat and plenum heater (if installed) are properly connected and all control
signals are off, so that the unit will not start up when the power is turned on.
5. Ensure all access panels except the lower one that provides access to the electrical box are in place.
