18 IOMM Starter
Startup
General
The startup of McQuay centrifugal chillers, including the starters, is performed by McQuay
authorized and trained technicians. They review the starter connections, phase sequence, and
settings prior to starting the chiller.
Setting a freestanding starter and power and control wiring from it to the chiller is the
responsibility of the owner/contractor. See the installation and power and control wiring
sections of this manual before commencing installation.
In the rare instances where a starter is being replaced after the chiller has been in service,
McQuay service is not automatically involved but can be contracted to supervise the starter
installation.
For general information, brief startup instructions are included on the following pages.
