Start-Up Procedures 

(R-410a Systems) 

Continued:

21� 

Using an appropriate pressure / temperature chart for 

R-410a refrigerant, look up and record the saturation 

temperature corresponding to the suction pressure�

22� 

Calculate and record the suction superheat for each 

circuit by taking the difference between the suction 

line temperature and the saturation temperature 

corresponding to the suction pressure�

23� 

Record the liquid line pressure and the liquid line 

temperature for each circuit near the condenser coil 

outlet�

24� 

Using an appropriate pressure / temperature chart for 

R-410a refrigerant, look up and record the saturation 

temperature corresponding to the liquid line pressure�

25� 

Calculate and record the liquid sub-cooling for each 

circuit by taking the difference between the liquid 

line temperature and the saturation temperature 

corresponding to the liquid line pressure�

26� 

Record the Amps for the evaporator blower motor, each 

compressor and the condenser blower motor� If the 

system is single phase, use L1 and L2 only�

a� 

Make sure the pressures on each compressor circuit 

are within the proper limits:

i� 

290 – 550 Discharge

ii� 

100 – 140 psig Suction

b� 

Compressor Amperage is below the RLA Amps 

listed on the unit data tag�

i� 

The maximum compressor operating current 

(amps) at start up depends a lot on the system 

loading� The lower the load, the less the current� 

The higher the load, the higher the current�

c� 

The blower motor FLA values should never be 

exceeded�

i� 

If the FLA value is exceeded, shut the unit off 

and check the duct design, sheave turns open 

or make sure there is no blockage / obstruction 

in the duct or filters.

27� 

Document any additional information deemed 

appropriate for the specific application or installation.

28� 

Shut the system down and remove all test instruments 

and test sensors�

29� 

Leave the system in the operating mode as appropriate 

for the customer and the application�

Optional Heating Start Up:

30� 

If the system has any optional heat, set the room 

thermostat approximately 5

°

 higher than the actual 

room temperature� Set the controller operating mode to 

the HEAT position�

31� 

Dependent upon the heating source the heating valve 

or switch / contactor should be activated�

32� 

After several minutes of operation, record the return air 

temperature and the supply air temperature�

33� 

Based on the heating source, document the 

appropriate temperatures, pressures, voltage or amp 

values�
