START UP

IMPORTANT INSTALLER NOTE

For improved start-up performance, wash the indoor coil with a dishwasher detergent.

CRANKCASE HEATERS

WL701 units are provided with compressor crankcase heat.

The WL701 model has a band type heater located around the bottom of the compressor. This heater is controlled by the crankcase heater relay. The heater is only energized when the compressor is not running.

Some form of crankcase heat is essential to prevent liquid refrigerant from migrating to the compressor, casing oil pump out on compressor start-up and possible valve failure due to compressing a liquid.

The decal in Figure 9 is affixed to all WL701 unit detailing start-up procedure. This is very important. Please read carefully.

START-UP LABEL

IMPORTANT

These procedures must be followed at initial start-up and at any time power has been removed for 12 hours or longer.

To prevent compressor damage which may result from the presence of liquid refrigerant in the compressor crankcase.

1.Make certain the room thermostat is in the "off" position (the compressor is not to operate).

2.Apply power by closing the system disconnect switch. This energizes the compressor heater which evaporates the liquid refrigerant in the crankcase.

3.Allow 4 hours or 60 minutes per pound of refrigerant in the system as noted on the unit rating plate, whichever is greater.

4.After properly elapsed time, the thermostat may be set to operate the compressor.

5.Except as required for safety while servicing – Do not open system disconnect switch.

HIGH PRESSURE SWITCH

The WA701 and WA721 models are supplied with a remote reset high 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. All three phase units incorporate a phase monitor to ensure proper field wiring. See the Phase Monitor" section later in this manual.

Verification of proper rotation must be made any time a compressor is change or rewired. 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 ZR3 compressors are wired identical 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.

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 rotations, as well as, substantially reduced current draw compared to tabulated values.

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