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 to determine a condenser temperature based on said high-side condition signal.

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.
