Summary: Perform duties to test the electrical operation of HVAC units following installation of structural, mechanical, electrical, and condensing components to ensure the compliance with product specifications, working within the limits of standard procedures and making decisions as to set up and test operations and sequencing.
Essential Duties:
Pretest Protocols:
- Work from the Public job folder and production Schedule systems and refer to BOM, operating requirements and standards, work instruction and in-process inspection checklists, schedules, and any related nonconforming issues.
- Verify job number, revision level of drawings, schematics, specifications, and all components against the BOM. Ensure energized components are installed correctly.
- Visually inspect units to ensure compliance with cosmetic and assembly standards. Inspect electrical control panels and perform pull tests to ensure terminals are properly connected.
Dry Test Protocols:
- Perform ground check verifying no electrical shorts on any load carrying conductors.
- Phase high voltage wires and verify ohms on all motors and compressors.
- Perform Hi Pot testing to validate power flow through high voltage wires and energy source compliance.
- Energize unit at 24/120 volts and test all components for proper operation and safety. Test electrical devices, wiring, air flow, sensors, and safety devices and calibrate per specifications.
- Manually manipulate the program in the controller to validate proper inputs and outputs.
Run Test Protocols:
- Refer to Lock-Out Tag-Out and Energize/De-Energize Procedures and energize unit at proper voltage/amperage per specifications.
- Test proper operation and direction of blowers, fans, and wheels. Balance fans/blowers to engineering specifications. Document test results on specific data recording sheet.
- Operate crankcase heaters to ensure functioning properly by measuring amperage draws.
- Inspect and record pressure drops and fan rpm’s per engineering specifications.
- Adjust gas valves on burner system. Hook up to gas or electric and check conformance to functionality and temperature specifications, and observe amperage pulled to ensure compliance with specifications. Ensure shut offs operate in compliance with specifications.
- Set airflow switches/timers, measure and record voltage/amperage of energized components to ensure accuracy of functions.
- Install and operate any software per system requirements.
- Measure and record sub-cool and superheat readings, as well as suction and liquid line temperature and pressures insuring proper refrigerant charge.
- Run unit in auto mode to simulate required conditions of operation and ensuring that all components engage and disengage as designed, and that gauges report accurately. Investigate and report on causes of any failures.
- Test for heat or refrigerant leaks and pinpoint leak when found.
- Visually inspect for water migration. Ensure that all chambers are properly sealed. Insure all liquid solenoid valves are in the correct state before shipment.
- Troubleshoot failed units and make defined adjustments. Document all defects on the unit Scorecard. Make routine installations of replacement components or notify production for the need of replacement parts. Record all adjustments.
- Complete all QC run test documents and notify engineering that unit mark ups are ready so that the as builts can be processed.
- Notify cell leads that the unit is completed through run test and ready for punch off.
Other Duties:
- Perform or assist with any operations, as required to maintain workflow and to meet schedules and quality requirements.
- Complete in-process inspection checklist and quality gate checklist.
- Maintain work areas in a clean and orderly condition. Consistently operate in keeping with all safety rules and requirements.
- Participate in any variety of meetings and work groups to integrate activities, communicate issues, obtain approvals, resolve problems, and maintain specified level of knowledge pertaining to new developments, requirements, and policies.
- Perform other related duties as assigned.
Tools and Equipment:
- Use computer, multimeter, digital refrigeration gauge, temp probe, manometer, analog signal generator, balancing machine, leak detectors (refrigerant & gas), temperature and humidity meter, hand and power tools, motorized pallet jack, tachometer, and ac clamps. Operate fork truck, scissor lift, unit hydraulic lifts
Minimum Personal Protection Equipment (PPE):
