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 before 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 provides 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, are
invoiced for the additional overtime hours incurred. Customers requiring Saturday or Sunday start-up of equipment are 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.
Request factory start-up assistance at least two weeks before 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 in compliance with the
instructions noted at the bottom of the checklist. After receiving the checklist, a factory representative can work with you to
determine the best available date that a factory technician can be at the job site.
Factory start-up assistance includes the following support:
• 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 provides 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 that 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 does not include the following support:
• 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, and gages.
• 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 can 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. 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, fill out and send the
AcuAir air handler prestart-up checklist
