4.Tighten setscrews and replace rubber hubcap to pre- vent hub from rusting to motor shaft.

5.Fill hub recess with permagum if rubber hubcap is missing.

VII. ECONOMIZER ADJUSTMENT

See Tables 16 and 17 for checkout and outdoor air tempera- ture simulation. Make certain the outdoor-air damper is fully closed and the return-air damper is fully open before completing the following steps:

1.Turn on power to the unit.

2.Turn the thermostat fan switch to the ON position. The damper will go to the vent position.

3.Adjust the vent position with the minimum damper- position adjustment on the economizer motor control module. See Fig. 18.

4.Set the system selector switch to COOL position and set the cooling temperature selector to its lowest setting.

NOTE: The Cooling mode may also be simulated by removing the thermostat wires from terminals Y1 and Y2 and installing a jumper between terminals R and Y1. Refer to unit label diagram for terminal locations.

Table 16 — Economizer Checkout Procedures

TEST PROCEDURE

RESULTS

A. Disconnect power at

 

TR and TR1.

 

Disconnect jumper

 

between P and

 

P1. See Fig. 18.

 

B. Jumper TR to 1.

 

C. Jumper T1 to T.

 

D. Disconnect outdoor-air

 

thermostat connections

 

from SO and +.

 

Factory-installed

 

800 ohm resistor

 

should remain connected

 

to SR and +.

 

E. Reconnect power to

 

terminals TR and TR1.

 

 

1. LED (light-emitting diode)

 

should be off.

 

2. Motor is in closed position.

 

 

TEST PROCEDURE

 

RESULTS

Disconnect factory-installed

 

 

resistor from terminals

 

 

SR and +.

1.

LED should be on.

 

 

2.

Motor drives toward open.

TEST PROCEDURE

RESULTS

A. Reconnect factory-installed

 

800 ohm resistor

 

between terminals

 

SR and +.

 

B. Connect 1200 ohm

 

checkout resistor between

 

terminals SO and +.

 

C. Turn set point potentiometer

 

to position A.

 

 

Low outdoor-air test results:

 

1. LED (light-emitting

 

diode)should be on.

 

2. Motor drives toward open.

D. Turn set point potentiometer

 

to position D.

 

E. Disconnect 1200 ohm

 

checkout resistor.

 

 

High outdoor-air test results:

 

1. LED should be off.

 

2. Motor drives toward closed.

5.Set the outdoor-air thermostat (OAT), located in the economizer section of the unit (see Fig. 17) to 75 F.

6.If the outdoor temperature is below 75 F, the econo- mizer will control the mixed air with the mixed-air sensor. If the outdoor air is above 75 F, place a jumper around the contacts of the OAT.

7.Jumper terminal T to terminal T1 on the module (see Fig. 18). The economizer will go to the full open posi- tion. The outdoor-air damper will go to the full open position, and the return-air damper will go to the full closed position.

8.Adjust mechanical linkage, if necessary, for correct positioning. If may be necessary to remove the filters to adjust the linkage.

9.Remove the jumper from around the contacts of the OAT if installed in Step 6. Remove the jumper from terminals T and T1 installed in Step 7.

10.If the Cooling mode was simulated to operate the unit in Step 4, remove the jumper and reconnect the ther- mostat wires to terminals Y1 and Y2.

VIII. POWER FAILURE

Dampers have a spring return. In event of power failure, dampers will return to fully closed position until power is restored. Do not manually operate damper motor.

IX. REFRIGERANT CHARGE

Amount of refrigerant charge is listed on unit nameplate and in Table 1. Refer to Carrier GTAC II; Module 5; Charging, Recovery, Recycling, and Reclamation section for charging methods and procedures. Unit panels must be in place when unit is operating during charging procedure.

NOTE: Do not use recycled refrigerant as it may contain contaminants.

A. No Charge

Use standard evacuating techniques. After evacuating sys- tem, weigh in the specified amount of refrigerant (refer to Table 1).

B. Low Charge Cooling

Using appropriate cooling charging chart (see Fig. 35), add or remove refrigerant until conditions of the chart are met. Note that charging chart is different from those normally used. An accurate pressure gage and temperature-sensing device is required. Charging is accomplished by ensuring the proper amount of liquid sub-cooling. Measure liquid line pressure at the liquid line service valve using pressure gage. Connect temperature sensing device to the liquid line near the liquid line service valve and insulate it so that outdoor ambient temperature does not affect reading.

C. To Use the Cooling Charging Chart

Use the above temperature and pressure readings, and find the intersection point on the cooling charging chart. If inter- section point on chart is above line, add refrigerant. If inter- section point on chart is below line, carefully recover some of the charge. Recheck suction pressure as charge is adjusted.

NOTE: Indoor-air CFM must be within normal operating range of unit. All outdoor fans must be operating.

The TXV (thermostatic expansion valve) is set to maintain between 15 and 20 degrees of superheat at the compressors. The valves are factory set and should not require re-adjustment.
