Step 8 — Pressure Switches
Pressure switches are protective devices wired into control circuit (low voltage). They shut off compressor if abnormally high or low pressures are present in the refrigeration circuit. These pressure switches are specifically designed to operate with Puron
Step 9 — Loss of Charge Switch
This switch is located on the liquid line and protects against low suction pressures caused by such events as loss of charge, low airflow across indoor coil, dirty filters, etc. It opens on a pressure drop at about 20 psig. If system pressure is above this, switch should be closed. To check switch:
1.Turn off all power to unit.
2.Disconnect leads on switch.
3.Apply ohm meter leads across switch. You should have continuity on a good switch.
NOTE: Because these switches are attached to refrigeration system under pressure, it is not advisable to remove this device for troubleshooting unless you are reasonably certain that a problem exists. If switch must be removed, remove and recover all system charge so that pressure gauges read 0 psi. Never open system without breaking vacuum with dry nitrogen.
Step 10 — High-Pressure Switch
The
High pressure may be caused by a dirty outdoor coil, failed fan motor, or outdoor air recirculation.
To check switch:
1.Turn off all power to unit.
2.Disconnect leads on switch.
3.Apply ohm meter leads across switch. You should have continuity on a good switch.
Step 11 — Copeland Scroll Compressor (Puron Refrigerant)
The compressor used in this product is specifically designed to operate with Puron
!WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death or property damage.
Wear safety glasses and gloves when handling refrigerants. Keep torches and other ignition sources away from refrigerant and oils.
The scroll compressor pumps refrigerant throughout the system by the interaction of a stationary and an orbiting scroll. The scroll compressor has no dynamic suction or discharge valves, and it is more tolerant of stresses caused by debris, liquid slugging, and flooded starts. The compressor is equipped with an internal pressure relief port. The pressure relief port is a safety device, designed to protect against extreme high pressure. The relief port has an operating range between 550 and 625 psi differential pressure.
