TESTING THE INSTALLATION

NOTE: Make sure the chiller tank is full of process fluid before you begin operating.

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING: Only qualified personnel

 

 

 

 

 

should perform this procedure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Parts of this test require opening the unit while it is

 

 

 

 

 

energized. Only qualified personnel who have been

 

 

 

 

 

trained in the use of electrical testing devices and

 

 

 

 

 

in avoiding the safety hazards involved in safely

 

 

 

 

 

troubleshooting this type of equipment should per-

 

 

 

 

 

form this test procedure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Turn on the condenser water supply (MPW

 

1

 

 

 

 

units) and check for leaks. If any leaks appear, stop

 

 

 

 

the test and fix the problem before continuing. The water

 

 

 

 

pressure must be at least must be at least 25 PSI at the

 

 

 

 

condenser inlet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apply power to the unit.

 

 

 

2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Indicator lights on the control panel blink green, then

 

 

 

 

 

red, to test operation of the LEDs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Setpoint and actual windows will display

 

 

for

 

 

 

 

 

three seconds, followed by the software version. The

 

 

 

 

 

windows then display the factory default setpoint of

 

 

 

 

 

50° F (10° C) and the actual temperature.

Check the rotation of the pump. Remove the

 

 

 

 

access panel and verify that the pump rotation matches the

 

 

 

 

direction indicated on the rotation stamp on the pump.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: If the rotation is incorrect, stop the test and

 

 

 

 

 

 

disconnect power to the unit. Open the electrical

 

 

 

 

 

 

enclosure and switch any two of the three power

 

 

 

 

 

 

source wires on the terminal block. Return to Step 2

 

 

 

 

 

and check rotation again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4

 

 

Replace the access panel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Press the RUN key to start the unit.

 

 

 

5

 

 

 

 

If everything is working correctly: The RUN/STOP light turns green.

The pump begins operating. The compressor turns on after 3 seconds, if the actual temperature is above the setpoint.

Normal operation begins. The unloader valves turn on, if the actual temperature is below setpoint. The com- pressor remains active until the actual temperature is 6° F below the setpoint.

The test is over. Proceed to initial setup if the unit operated normally; refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section if it did not.
