START-UP
Preliminary Checks
1.Check that all internal wiring connections are tight and that all barriers, covers, and panels are in place.
2.Field electrical power source must agree with unit name- plate rating.
3.All service valves must be open.
4.
Leak Test — Field piping and fan coil must be leak tested by pressure method. Use
Leak detectors should be designed to detect HFC (hydro- fluorocarbon) refrigerant.
Evacuate and Dehydrate — Field piping and fan coil must be evacuated and dehydrated.
Charge System — Release charge into system by open- ing (backseating) liquid and suction line service valves. Refer to separate indoor unit installation instructions for the required total system charge when connected to 25 ft of tubing.
To Start Unit — Be sure that the field disconnect is closed. Set room thermostat below ambient temperature. Oper- ate unit for 15 minutes, then check system refrigerant charge. See Refrigerant Charging section on page 12.
NOTE: When using in conjunction with 40QA or 40QK fan coils, refer to
SERVICE
Before performing recommended maintenance, be sure unit main power switch is turned off. Failure to do so may result in electrical shock or injury from rotating fan blade.
Outdoor Fan — A reinforced wire mount holds the out- door fan assembly in position. See Fig. 8 for proper mounting position.

Internal Current and Temperature Sensitive Overload — The control resets automatically when internal compressor motor temperature drops to a safe level (overloads may require up to 45 minutes to reset). When an internal overload is suspected of being open, check by using an ohmmeter or continuity tester.
Pumpdown Procedure — The system may be pumped down in order to make repairs on the low side without losing complete refrigerant charge.
Never open system to atmosphere while it is under a vac- uum. Equipment damage may result.
When system must be opened for service, recover refriger- ant, break vacuum with dry nitrogen before opening system.
1.Attach pressure gage to suction service valve gage port.
2.Frontseat the liquid/mixed phase line valve.
The 38HDC unit coils hold only the
3.Start unit and run until suction pressure reaches 20 psig.
4.Shut unit off and frontseat suction valve.
5.Depressurize low side of unit and recover refrigerant following accepted practices.
DO NOT attempt to simulate these system abnormalities
— high pressures pose a serious safety hazard.
The
Crankcase Heater — The crankcase heater prevents refrigerant migration and compressor oil dilution during shutdown when compressor is not operating. If the crankcase heater is deenergized for more than 6 hours, both compressor service valves must be closed.
NOTE: Crankcase heaters are only available on 38HDR030- 060 units.
The crankcase heater is powered by the
Use extreme caution when troubleshooting this device, as line voltage is continually present. Serious personal injury could result.
