ACCESSORY DESCRIPTION AND USAGE (Listed Alphabetically)

1.Ball Bearing Fan Motor

A fan motor with ball bearings which permits speed reduction while maintaining bearing lubrication.

SUGGESTED USE: Required on all units where Low-Ambient Controller (full modulation feature) or MotorMaster® Control has been added.

2.Coastal Filter

A mesh screen inserted under the top cover and inside base pan to protect the condenser coil from corrosive atmosphere without restricting airflow.

SUGGESTED USE: In geographic areas where salt damage could occur.

In areas with high pollution levels.

3.Compressor Start Assist—Capacitor/Relay Type

Start capacitor and start relay which gives a hard” boost to compressor motor at each start-up.

SUGGESTED USE: Installations where interconnecting tube length exceeds 50 ft.

Installations where outdoor design temperature exceeds 105°F (40.6°C).

Installations where low voltage or brown-out conditions may occur.

4.Compressor Start Assist—PTC Type

Solid-state electrical device which gives a soft” boost to compressor motor at each start-up.

SUGGESTED USE: Installations with marginal power supply.

5.Crankcase Heater

An electric resistance heater which mounts to the base of the compressor to keep the lubricant warm during off cycles. Improves compressor lubrication

on restart and minimizes chance of refrigerant slugging. May or may not include a thermostat control. SUGGESTED USE: When interconnecting tube length exceeds 50 ft.

When unit will be operated below 55°F (12.8°C) outdoor air temperature. Use with Low-Ambient Controller. All commercial installations.

6.Cycle Protector

Solid state timing device which prevents compressor rapid recycling. Control provides an approximate 5-minute delay after power to the compressor has been interrupted for any reason, including normal room thermostat cycling.

SUGGESTED USE: Installations in areas where power interruptions are frequent.

Where user is likely to play” with the room thermostat.

All commercial installations.

Installations where interconnecting tube length exceeds 50 ft.

High-rise applications.

7.Evaporator Freeze Thermostat

An SPST temperature actuated switch which stops unit operation when evaporator reaches freeze-up conditions.

SUGGESTED USE: All units where Winter Start Control has been added.

8.Filter Drier (Suction Line)

A device for removing contaminants from refrigerant circulating in an air conditioner: one direction flow.

SUGGESTED USE: All split-system air conditioners.

9.Liquid-Line Solenoid Valve (LSV)

An electrically operated shutoff valve to be installed at the outdoor or indoor unit (depending on tubing configuration) and which stops and starts refrigerant liquid flow in response to compressor operation. Maintains a column of refrigerant liquid ready for action at next compressor operation cycle.

SUGGESTED USE: For improved system performance in air conditioners for certain combinations of indoor and outdoor units. Refer to ARI Unitary Directory. In certain long-line applications. Refer to Residential Split System Long-Line Application Guideline and Service Manual.
