START UP AND OPERATION
THREE PHASE SCROLL COMPRESSOR START UP INFORMATION
(Model
Scroll compressors, like several other types of compressors, will only compress in one rotational direction. Direction of rotation is not an issue with single phase compressors since they will always start and run in the proper direction.
However, three phase compressors will rotate in either direction depending upon phasing of the power. Since there is a
Verification of proper rotation must be made at the time the equipment is put into service. If improper rotation is corrected at this time there will be no negative impact on the durability of the compressor. However, reverse operation for over one hour may have a negative impact on the bearing due to oil pump out.
NOTE: If compressor is allowed to run in reverse rotation for several minutes the compressor’s internal protector will trip.
All three phase scroll compressors are wired identically internally. As a result, once the correct phasing is determined for a specific system or installation, connecting properly phased power leads to the same Fusite terminals should maintain proper rotation direction.
The direction of rotation of the motor may be changed by reversing any two line connections to the unit.
(Models
All units with three phase scroll compressors are equipped with a three phase line monitor to prevent compressor damage due to phase reversal.
The phase monitor in this unit is equipped with two LED’s. If the “Y” signal is present at the phase monitor and phases are correct, the green LED will light.
If phases are reversed, the red fault LED will be lit and compressor operation is inhibited.
If a fault condition occurs, reverse tow of the supply leads to the unit. Do not reverse any of the unit factory wires as damage may occur.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
BLOWER ONLY – When the “Fan” switch on the room thermostat is placed in the “On” position (circuit
COOLING – On a call for cooling from the room thermostat (circuit
HEATING (1st Stage) – On a call for heating from the room thermostat (circuit
HEATING (2nd Stage) – If the operation of the 1st Stage electric heaters will not maintain the set room temperature, then the thermostat will call for additional heat to help maintain the set temperature. On a call for second stage heating from the room thermostat (circuit
INDOOR BLOWER MOTOR
These models feature a variable speed (ECM) motor providing high efficiency, low sound levels and soft start capabilities. The motor is self adjusting to provide the proper airflow rate at duct static pressures up to 0.50" WC without user adjustment or wiring changes.
On command from the wall thermostat the motor will start slowly and ramp up to full speed over a period of
When the thermostat is satisfied the blower will operate for approximately 1 minute, and then slow down and stop.
