High pressure may be caused by a dirty outdoor coil, failed fan motor, or outdoor air recirculation.

To check switch:

1.Turn off all power to unit.

2.Disconnect leads on switch.

3.Apply ohm meter leads across switch. You should have continuity on a good switch.

Step 11 — Copeland Scroll Compressor (Puron Refrigerant)

The compressor used in this product is specifically designed to operate with Puron (R-410A) refrigerant and cannot be interchanged.

!WARNING

EXPLOSION HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death or property damage.

Wear safety glasses and gloves when handling refrigerants.

Step 6 — Indoor Airflow

The heating and/or cooling airflow does not require checking unless improper performance is suspected. If a problem exists, be sure that all supply-air and return-air grilles are open and free from obstructions, and that the air filter is clean. When necessary, refer to Indoor Airflow and Airflow Adjustments section to check the system airflow.

Step 7 — Metering Devices-TXV & Piston

This unit uses 2 types of metering devices. The outdoor metering device is a fixed orifice and is contained in the brass hex-body in each liquid line feeding the outdoor coils. The indoor metering device is a TXV type device.

Step 8 — Pressure Switches

Pressure switches are protective devices wired into control circuit (low voltage). They shut off compressor if abnormally high or low pressures are present in the refrigeration circuit. These pressure switches are specifically designed to operate with Puron (R-410A) systems. R-22 pressure switches must not be used as replacements for the Puron (R-410A) system.

Step 9 — Loss of Charge Switch

This switch is located on the liquid line and protects against low suction pressures caused by such events as loss of charge, low airflow across indoor coil, dirty filters, etc. It opens on a pressure drop at about 20 psig. If system pressure is above this, switch should be closed. To check switch:

1.Turn off all power to unit.

2.Disconnect leads on switch.

3.Apply ohm meter leads across switch. You should have continuity on a good switch.

NOTE: Because these switches are attached to refrigeration system under pressure, it is not advisable to remove this device for troubleshooting unless you are reasonably certain that a problem exists. If switch must be removed, remove and recover all system charge so that pressure gauges read 0 psi. Never open system without breaking vacuum with dry nitrogen.

Step 10 — High-Pressure Switch

The high-pressure switch is located in the discharge line and protects against excessive condenser coil pressure. It opens at 650 psig.

Keep torches and other ignition sources away from refrigerant and oils.

The scroll compressor pumps refrigerant throughout the system by the interaction of a stationary and an orbiting scroll. The scroll compressor has no dynamic suction or discharge valves, and it is more tolerant of stresses caused by debris, liquid slugging, and flooded starts. The compressor is equipped with an internal pressure relief port. The pressure relief port is a safety device, designed to protect against extreme high pressure. The relief port has an operating range between 550 and 625 psig differential pressure.

Step 12 — Refrigerant System

This step covers the refrigerant system of the 604D--A, including the compressor oil needed, servicing systems on roofs containing synthetic materials, the filter drier and refrigerant charging.

!WARNING

PROPERTY HAZARD, PERSONAL INJURY OR ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in property damage or personal injury or death.

This system uses Puron (R-410A) refrigerant which has higher operating pressures than R-22 and other refrigerants. No other refrigerant may be used in this system. Gauge set, hoses, and recovery system must be designed to handle Puron. If you are unsure consult the equipment manufacturer.

Compressor Oil

The Copeland scroll compressor uses 3MAF POE oil. If additional oil is needed, use Uniqema RL32-3MAF. If this oil is not available, use Copeland Ultra 32 CC or Mobil Arctic EAL22 CC. This oil is extremely hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs water readily. POE oils can absorb 15 times as much water as other oils designed to HCFC and CFC refrigerants. Take all necessary precautions to avoid exposure of the oil to the atmosphere.

Servicing Systems on Roofs with Synthetic Materials

POE (polyolester) compressor lubricants are known to cause long term damage to some synthetic roofing materials. Exposure, even if immediately cleaned up, may cause embrittlement (leading to cracking) to occur in one year or more. When performing any service that may risk exposure of compressor oil to the roof, take appropriate precautions to protect roofing. Procedures which risk oil leakage include, but are not limited to, compressor replacement,
