event of ¯ame rollout. The switch is located above the main burners on the internal wind baffle. When the temperature at the rollout switch exceeds the maximum allowable tem- perature, the W control circuit trips, deenergizing the gas valve and stopping gas ¯ow to the burners. The inducer motor is energized when the rollout switch trips. Although the rollout switch has an automatic reset, the IGC locks out the unit when a trip occurs and must be reset at unit disconnect. If the switch cycles again, shut down the unit and call for service.

III. COOLING SECTION START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTS

CAUTION: Complete the required procedures given in the Pre-Start-Up section on page 17 before starting the unit.

Do not jumper any safety devices when operating the unit.

Do not operate the compressor when the outdoor tem- perature is below 25 F (unless accessory low ambient kit is installed).

Do not rapid-cycle the compressor. Allow 5 minutes be- tween ``on'' cycles to prevent compressor damage.

A. Checking Cooling Control Operation

Start and check the unit for proper cooling control operation as follows:

1.Place room thermostat SYSTEM switch in OFF posi- tion. Observe that blower motor starts when FAN switch is placed in ON position and shuts down when FAN switch is placed in AUTO. position.

2.Place SYSTEM switch in COOL position and FAN switch in AUTO. position. Set cooling control below room temperature. Observe that compressor, condenser-fan mo- tor, and evaporator-fan motor start. Observe that cool- ing cycle shuts down when control setting is satis®ed, or reset thermostat at a position above room tempera- ture. Compressor will shut off. Evaporator fan will shut off after a 30-second delay.

3.Check unit charge. See Section B below.

4.To shut off unit, set system selector switch at OFF position. Resetting thermostat at a position above room temperature shuts unit off temporarily until space tem- perature exceeds thermostat setting. Units are equipped with Cycle-LOC™ protection device. Unit shuts down on any safety trip, and indicator light on thermostat comes on. Check reason for all safety trips.

5.When using an autochangeover room thermostat, place both SYSTEM and FAN switches in AUTO. positions. Observe that unit operates in Heating mode when tem- perature control is set to call for heating (above room temperature) and operates in Cooling mode when tem- perature control is set to call for cooling (below room temperature).

6.Compressor restart is accomplished by manual reset at the thermostat by turning the selector switch to OFF and then to ON positions.

B.Checking and Adjusting Refrigerant Charge

The refrigerant system contains R-22 refrigerant, and is fully charged, tested, and factory-sealed.

NOTE: Adjustment of the refrigerant charge is not required unless the unit is suspected of not having the proper R-22 charge. This unit uses charging charts to determine proper charge. See Refrigerant Charge section on page 29 for fur- ther details.

C. Unit Controls

All compressors have the following internal-protection controls:

1.High-Pressure Relief Valve Ð This valve (internal to the compressor) opens when the pressure differential be- tween the low and high side becomes excessive and will automatically reset when pressure returns to normal.

2.Compressor Overload Ð This overload interrupts power to the compressor when either the current or internal temperature become excessive, and automatically re- sets when the internal temperature drops to a safe level. This overload may require up to 60 minutes (or longer) to reset; therefore, if the internal overload is suspected of being open, disconnect the electrical power to the unit and check the circuit through the overload with an ohm- meter or continuity tester.

D.Cooling Sequence of Operation

Cooling, Units Without Economizer

When thermostat calls for cooling, terminals G and Y1 and the compressor contactor are energized. The indoor (evapo- rator) fan motor (IFM), compressor, and outdoor (condenser) fan motor (OFM) start. The OFM runs continuously while the unit is in cooling. When the thermostat is satis®ed, C1 is deen- ergized and the compressor and OFM shut off. After a 30-second delay, the IFM shuts off. If the thermostat fan selector switch is in the ON position, the evaporator motor will run continuously.

Cooling, Units With Varislide™ Economizer

When the outdoor-air temperature is above the OAT setting and the room thermostat calls for cooling, compressor con- tactor is energized to start the compressor and outdoor (con- denser) fan motor (OFM). The evaporator (indoor) fan motor (IFM) is energized and the economizer damper moves to the minimum position. After the thermostat is satis®ed, the damper moves to the fully closed position when IFM is deenergized.

When the outdoor-air temperature is below the OAT setting and the thermostat calls for Y1 and G (cooling), the econo- mizer damper moves to the minimum position when the evaporator-fan starts. The ®rst stage of cooling is provided by the economizer. If the supply-air temperature is above 57 F, a switch on the supply-air thermostat is closed between the T2 terminal and the 24 vac terminal. This causes the damper to continue to modulate open until the supply-air tem- perature falls below 55 F or the damper reaches the fully open position.

When the supply-air temperature is between 55 F and 52 F, the supply-air thermostat has open switches between the T2 and 24 vac terminals and between the T1 and 24 vac termi- nals. This causes the economizer damper to remain in an in- termediate open position.

If the supply-air temperature falls below 52 F, a switch on the supply-air thermostat is closed between the T1 terminal and the 24 vac terminal. This causes the damper to modu- late closed until the supply-air temperature rises above 55 F or the damper reaches the minimum position.

When the supply-air temperature is between 55 F and 57 F, the supply-air thermostat has open switches between the T2 and 24 vac terminals. This causes the economizer damper to remain in an intermediate open position.

If the outdoor air alone cannot satisfy the cooling require- ments of the conditioned space, economizer cooling is inte- grated with mechanical cooling, providing second stage cool- ing. The compressor and condenser fan will be energized and the position of the economizer damper will be determined by the supply-air temperature.
