START UP (Continued)

IMPORTANT INSTALLER NOTE

For improved start up performance wash the indoor coil with a dish washing detergent.

HIGH PRESSURE SWITCH

All W*R/LV wall mounted air conditioner series models are supplied with a remote reset for the high and low pressure switch. If tripped, this pressure switch may be reset by turning the thermostat off then back on again.

THREE PHASE SCROLL COMPRESSOR START UP INFORMATION

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 50-50 chance of connecting power in such a way as to cause rotation in the reverse direction, verification of proper rotation must be made. Verification of proper rotation direction is made by observing that suction pressure drops and discharge pressure rises when the compressor is energized. Reverse rotation also results in an elevated sound level over that with correct rotation, as well as substantially reduced current draw compared to tabulated values.

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 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 terminal should maintain proper rotation direction.

The direction of rotation of the compressor may be changed by reversing any two line connections to the unit.

PHASE MONITOR

All units with three phase scroll compressors are equipped with a 3 phase 60/50 Hz line monitor to prevent compressor damage due to phase reversal. No changes required for 60 or 50 Hz operation.

The phase monitor in this unit is equipped with two LEDs. 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 two of the supply leads to the unit. Do not reverse any of the unit factory wires as damage may occur.

SERVICE HINTS

1.Caution owner/operator to maintain clean air filters at all times. Also, not to needlessly close off supply and return air registers. This reduces airflow through the system, which shortens equipment service life as well as increasing operating costs.

2.Check all power fuses or circuit breakers to be sure they are the correct rating.

3.Periodic cleaning of the outdoor coil to permit full and unrestricted airflow circulation is essential.

DIGITAL CONTROLLER

The W3R/LV1 through W6R/LV1 variable capacity air conditioners utilize dedicated controllers and components to optimize this unit for cooling operation from -40 degrees F up to 131 degrees F (-40 degrees C to +55 degrees C). These units are dual rated for 200- 240V operation on both 50 and 60 Hz. Please read the following sequence of operation before attempting any troubleshooting or repair. Troubleshooting & repair procedures will be outlined below & later in this Manual.

These models use a digital compressor and variable speed indoor and outdoor motors. The motors and compressor must be replaced with the exact same component to maintain the above stated temperature and voltage ranges of operation. The units are controlled by a Bard digital thermostat/controller. This thermostat/ controller contains proprietary programming and must be replaced with the exact same component to ensure proper operation.

See Controller Quick Start Manual 2100-559 and Controller Advanced Programming Manual 2100-560 for complete details.
