START-UP AND OPERATION
NOTE: Refer to
Actual
1.Be sure all service valves are open. Units are shipped from factory with suction, discharge, and liquid line service valves closed.
2.Using the Marquee display, set
3.If optional control functions or accessories are being used, the unit must be properly configured. Refer to Op- erating Data section for details.
4.Start chilled fluid pump.
5.Turn ENABLE/OFF/REMOTE CONTACT switch to ENABLE position.
6.Allow unit to operate and confirm that everything is func- tioning properly. Check to see that leaving fluid tempera- ture agrees with leaving set point (CSP.1 or CSP.2), or if reset is used, with the control point (CTPT) in the Run Status mode under the
Operating Limitations
TEMPERATURES (See Table 35) — If unit is to be used in an area with high solar radiation, mounted position should be such that control box is not exposed to direct solar radiation. Exposure to direct solar radiation could affect the temperature switch controlling cooler heaters.

| max voltage deviation |
% Voltage Imbalance = 100 x | from avg voltage |
| average voltage |
The maximum voltage deviation is the largest difference between a voltage measurement across 2 legs and the average across all 3 legs.
Example: Supply voltage is
BC = 236 v AC = 238 v
1. Determine average voltage:
243 + 236 + 238
Average voltage =
3
=7173
=239
2.Determine maximum deviation from average voltage:
(AB) 243 – 239 = 4 v (BC) 239 – 236 = 3 v (AC) 239 – 238 = 1 v
Maximum deviation is 4 v.
3.Determine percent voltage imbalance:
TEMPERATURE | F | C |
Maximum Ambient Temperature | 125 | 52 |
% Voltage Imbalance = 100 x

Minimum Ambient Temperature | 0 | |
Maximum Cooler EWT* | 95 | 35 |
Maximum Cooler LWT | 70 | 21 |
Minimum Cooler LWT† | 38 | 3.3 |

EWT — Entering Fluid (Water) Temperature
LWT — Leaving Fluid (Water) Temperature
*For sustained operation, EWT should not exceed 85 F (29.4 C).
†Unit requires modification below this temperature.
NOTE: Wind baffles and brackets must be
Brine duty application (below 38 F [3.3 C] LCWT) for chiller normally requires factory modification. Contact your Carrier representative for applicable LCWT range for standard
VOLTAGE
Main Power Supply — Minimum and maximum acceptable supply voltages are listed in the Installation Instructions.
239
= 1.7%
This voltage imbalance is satisfactory as it is below the maximum allowable of 2%.
IMPORTANT: If the supply voltage phase imbalance is more than 2%, contact your local electric utility com- pany immediately. Do not operate unit until imbalance condition is corrected.
Control Circuit Power — Electronic control includes logic to detect low control circuit voltage. Acceptable voltage ranges are shown in the Installation Instructions.
MINIMUM FLUID LOOP VOLUME — To obtain proper temperature control, loop fluid volume must be at least 3 gal- lons per ton (3.25 L per kW) of chiller nominal capacity for air conditioning and at least 6 gallons per ton (6.5 L per kW) for process applications or systems that must operate at low ambi- ent temperatures (below 32 F [0° C]). Refer to application information in Product Data literature for details.
FLOW RATE REQUIREMENTS — Standard chillers should be applied with nominal flow rates approximating those listed in Table 36. Higher or lower flow rates are permissible to obtain lower or higher temperature rises. Minimum flow rates must be exceeded to assure turbulent flow and proper heat transfer in the cooler.
Operation below minimum flow rate could subject tubes to frost pinching in tube sheet, resulting in failure of cooler.
