GENERAL START-UP INFORMATION 

Even though Titan Air equipment is tested prior to leaving the factory, a complete field start-up is 

essential to proper operation of the equipment.  Qualified individuals should perform installation, 
start-up, and maintenance tasks. 

  Remote panel wiring must be tested and heating or cooling capacities should be verified.  

Interconnection with associated equipment must also be verified (exhaust fans, boilers, chillers, 
condensing equipment, valves, ...). 

  Every components function should be verified during start-up.  The start-up procedure is a good 

starting point for this check-out.  As the start-up states, once initial operating checks have been 
accomplished, proper operation per the sequence of operation must be verified.  Apparent 
malfunction of a component may be caused by improper supply conditions, field wiring errors, or 
other problems unrelated to the component which is apparently malfunctioning.  Titan Air’s 
experience has shown that more than half of all returned components are in full operational 
condition.  Please fully inspect possible causes of improper operation prior to ordering parts. 

 

SUGGESTED TOOLS AND INSTRUMENTS NEEDED FOR START-UP: 

 

Volt/Ohm Meter 

 

Ammeter 

 

Tachometer (preferably non-contact style)

 

 

 

Thermometer (preferably digital with remote probes and sufficient lead lengths)

 

 

 

Gas pressure gauge (-10” to 0 to +10” of water column typical scale) 

 

Manometer (for checking external static pressure) 

 

Combustion Analyzer 

 

Standard Hand Tools 

 

Additional items for temperature controls using Digital Programmable Controller: 

 

 1,070 Ohm resistor (supplied)
