Ensure shut offs operate in compliance with specifications. -Perform ground check verifying no electrical shorts on any load carrying conductors. -Phase high voltage wires and verify ohms on all motors and compressors. -Operate crankcase heaters to ensure functioning properly by measuring amperage draws. -Visually inspect for water migration. Ensure that all chambers are properly sealed. Insure all liquid solenoid valves are in the correct state before shipment. -Manually manipulate the program in the controller to validate proper inputs and outputs. -Complete all QC run test documents and notify engineering that unit mark ups are ready so that the as builts can be processed. -Test for heat or refrigerant leaks and pinpoint leak when found. -Maintain work areas in a clean and orderly condition. Consistently operate in keeping with all safety rules and requirements. -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. -Verify job number, revision level of drawings, schematics, specifications, and all components against the BOM. Ensure energized components are installed correctly. -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. -Frequently stand, walk, bend, crouch, kneel, climb, maneuver, stoop, squat, lift, grasp, and reach. -Perform Hi Pot testing to validate power flow through high voltage wires and energy source compliance. -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. -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. -Inspect and record pressure drops and fan rpm’s per engineering specifications. -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. -Measure and record sub-cool and superheat readings, as well as suction and liquid line temperature and pressures insuring proper refrigerant charge. -Complete in-process inspection checklist and quality gate checklist.
