1. A system comprising:
- a compressor operable in a refrigeration circuit and including a motor;
a current sensor detecting current drawn by said motor and providing a high-side condition signal;
a discharge line temperature sensor detecting a discharge line temperature of said compressor and providing a low-side condition signal; and
processing circuitry processing said high-side condition signal and said low-side condition signal during installation of said compressor to initially configure said compressor based on a non-measured condition of said refrigeration circuit.

Abstract
A system and method including a compressor operable in a refrigeration circuit and including a motor, a current sensor detecting current drawn by the motor and providing a high-side condition signal, a discharge line temperature sensor detecting a discharge line temperature of the compressor and providing a low-side condition signal, and processing circuitry processing the high-side condition signal and the low-side condition signal during installation of the compressor to initially configure the compressor based on a non-measured condition of the refrigeration circuit.

7. A method comprising:
-
generating a high-side signal indicative of an operating condition of a high-pressure side of a refrigeration circuit;
generating a low-side signal indicative of an operating condition of a low-pressure side of said refrigeration circuit;
processing said high-side signal and said low-side signal to indirectly determine a non-measured operating parameter of said refrigeration circuit; and
configuring a compressor based on said non-measured operating parameter. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
