7. Isolation Damper Test:
a. With the fan operating, close the smoke/isolation damper and inspect for
structural damage to the frame/blade assembly.
b. With the fan off, start the fan when the smoke/isolation damper is closed
and inspect for damage to the frame/blade assembly and operator
linkage.

8. Adjustable Frequency Drives (AFD):
a. Run test the MAU with its respective AFD, as specified in
Section 15172, Adjustable Frequency Drives, over the full range of the
AFD.
b. Provide certified test curves for the MAU/AFD pair at 10 percent
increments through full-speed operation.
c. Check and report vibration performance at these same operating speed
increments.
PART 3 -- EXECUTION
3.1 INSTALLATION
A. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's written instructions.
3.2 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. The Owner will notify the manufacturer when this testing is to be done. Implement
corrective actions within 7 days after the testing. Corrective actions and retests will
be done at no additional cost to the Owner.
B. Noncompliance with Noise Specifications:

1. Submit proposed modifications to achieve compliance for review by the
Owner.
2. Commence retrofit on MAU units to achieve compliance with work completed
as approved by the Owner.
3. Retest units by an independent testing firm approved by the Owner.
4. If compliance is not achieved within the time schedule approved by the Owner,
take corrective steps, which may include replacing the MAU units.
C. Noncompliance with Vibration Specifications:

1. Field balance each MAU unit to achieve compliance.
2. Retest by an independent testing firm approved by the Owner.
3. If the equipment is not in compliance with specified vibration limits after field
balancing, install enhanced isolation systems to achieve design criteria.
4. If the field balance of the deficient equipment does not occur within the
specified time period, or if the equipment is not in compliance after field
balancing and other treatments, take additional corrective steps, which may
include replacing the MAU units.
D. Noncompliance with AFD Performance:

1. Retest units that fail in accordance with the Specifications and IEEE 519 by a
third-party inspection/testing team.

SECTION 13069
2. If the second test fails, replace the drives with units that will perform as
specified.
3. Provide documentation of tests and results to the Owner.
E. Airflow Capacity and Uniformity Test:

1. Seal the inlet and outlet duct connections, pressurize the internal casing
positively to the fan shutoff head and negatively to 130 percent of the design
negative pressure, and measure the replacement air volume required to
overcome casing leakage. Remove the inlet seal, close the smoke/isolation
damper, and repeat the pressure test. Acceptable leakage is less than
0.5 percent of the rated supply capacity.
2. Connect the inlet and outlet duct connections to the test apparatus, energize the
unit, and perform operating tests. Follow AMCA 23, Field Performance
Requirements, for verification testing. Simulate the external operating static
pressure on the unit inlet and discharge; measure the air supply volume;
document the operating load for the motor and drive.
3. Perform a duct traverse across the supply discharge opening to document
velocity uniformity.
3.3 MANUFACTURERS SERVICES
A. In place noise level and vibration tests on one unit selected by the Owner to verify
the MAU units meet the project criteria.
B. Provide a manufacturer's representative to observe the installation and to provide

written certification that the equipment has been installed complete as specified and
in accordance with the manufacturer's directions as approved.
C. Log and record information from every test, reading, and adjustment necessary to
accomplish the services described and submit to IDC for review.
D. Field pressure/leak test each MAU unit for both positive and negative pressure sides,
units are assembled and installed. The acceptable leakage criteria is 0.5 percent of
the unit capacity under the design maximum pressure. Use SMACNA HVAC Air
Duct Leakage Test Manual for testing. Repair units failing to meet the allowable
leakage limits. Repair and retest units until leakage meets the allowable leakage rate.
E. After the units are operating normally, provide instructional time with the Owner's
service personnel to review the maintenance manuals and perform each step
necessary for startup, shutdown, troubleshooting, and routine maintenance. Notify
IDC of the service orientation schedule so that he may observe the training sessions.

SECTION 13069
F. Upon completion of the inspections, startup, testing and checkout procedures, submit
written notice to the Owner that the units are ready for final acceptance by the
Owner.
G. In order to establish the minimum service requirements, a manufacturer's

representative for the equipment specified herein shall be present at the jobsite for
the minimum man-days listed, not consecutive, travel time excluded.
1. 10 man-days for installation assistance, inspection, and certification of the
installation.
2. 5 man-days for plant startup and maintenance instructional time.
H. Include the cost of startup services time and associated expenses as part of the
bidder's proposal.
3.4 ADJUSTABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE INTEGRATION
A. Include integration and coordination costs on the basis of using AFDs by others.
Furnish information required by the AFD vendor for proper design of the AFD,
including, but not limited to, motor specifications and characteristics.
B. Obtain necessary AFDs from AFD vendor as required for use in testing. Maintain the
AFD in good condition. After testing and approval of the test results by the Owner,
coordinate the shipping of the AFD for the project site with the AFD vendor, to
allow the AFD to be received in the same week as the other AFDs being shipped to
the project site.
