Care and Maintenance, Check Charge, Final Checks

Follow these steps to properly start up system:

1.After system is evacuated, fully open liquid and vapor ser- vice valves.

2.Unit is shipped with valve stem(s) front seated (closed) and caps installed. Replace stem caps after system is opened to refrigerant flow. Replace caps finger-tight and tighten with wrench an additional 1/12 turn.

3.Close electrical disconnects to energize system.

4.Set room thermostat at desired temperature. Be sure set point is below indoor ambient temperature.

5.Set room thermostat to COOL and fan control to ON or AUTO mode, as desired. Operate unit for 15 minutes. Check system refrigerant charge.

3-Phase Monitor

In 3-phase units a small circuit board is factory installed to monitor line voltage. A small led will flash if a phase problem exists. See code descriptions on monitor. If LED is flashing, disconnect power to unit and interchange 2 field-wiring leads on unit contactor.

LED	STATUS
OFF	No call for compressor operation
FLASHING	Reversed phase
ON	Normal

!CAUTION

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage or improper operation.

Ensure compressor rotation is correct.

S3-phase scroll compressors are rotation sensitive.

SA flash LED on phase monitor indicates reverse rotation. (See Table 3)

This will not allow contractor to be energized.

SDisconnect power to unit and interchange 2 field-wiring leads on unit contactor.

Sequence of Operation

Turn on power to indoor and outdoor units. Transformer is energized.

On a call for cooling, thermostat makes circuits R-Y and R-G. Circuit R-Y energizes contactor, starting outdoor fan motor and

compressor circuit. R-G energizes indoor unit blower relay, starting indoor blower motor on high speed.

When thermostat is satisfied, its contacts open, de-energizing contactor and blower relay. Compressor and motors stop.

If indoor unit is equipped with a time-delay relay circuit, the indoor blower will run an additional 90 seconds to increase system efficiency.

Check Charge

Factory charge amount and desired subcooling are shown on unit rating plate. Charging method is shown on information plate inside unit. To properly check or adjust charge, conditions must be favorable for subcooling charging. Favorable conditions exist when the outdoor temperature is between 70_F and 100_F (21.11_C and 37.78_C), and the indoor temperature is between 70_F and 80_F (21.11_C and 26.67_C). Follow the procedure below:

Unit is factory charged for 15ft (4.57 m) of lineset. Adjust charge by adding or removing 0.6 oz/ft of 3/8 liquid line above or below 15ft (4.57 m) respectively.

For standard refrigerant line lengths (80 ft/24.38 m or less), allow system to operate in cooling mode at least 15 minutes. If conditions are favorable, check system charge by subcooling method. If any adjustment is necessary, adjust charge slowly and allow system to operate for 15 minutes to stabilize before declaring a properly charged system.

If the indoor temperature is above 80_F (26.67_C), and the outdoor temperature is in the favorable range, adjust system charge by weight based on line length and allow the indoor temperature to drop to 80_F (26.67_C) before attempting to check system charge by subcooling method as described above.

If the indoor temperature is below 70_F (21.11_C), or the outdoor temperature is not in the favorable range, adjust charge for line set length above or below 15ft (4.57 m) only. Charge level should then be appropriate for the system to achieve rated capacity. The charge level could then be checked at another time when the both indoor and outdoor temperatures are in a more favorable range.

NOTE: If line length is beyond 80 ft (24.38 m) or greater than 20 ft (6.10 m) vertical separation, See Long Line Guideline for special charging requirements.

Final Checks

IMPORTANT: Before leaving job, be sure to do the following:

1.Ensure that all wiring is routed away from tubing and sheet metal edges to prevent rub-through or wire pinching.

2.Ensure that all wiring and tubing is secure in unit before adding panels and covers. Securely fasten all panels and covers.

3.Tighten service valve stem caps to 1/12-turn past finger tight.

4.Leave Owner’s Manual with owner. Explain system opera- tion and periodic maintenance requirements outlined in manual.

5.Fill out Dealer Installation Checklist and place in customer file.
