Sea Frost BG 2000 RFD Receiver Filter Drier, Thermostat Wiring, Ac Line Circuit

RFD (Receiver Filter Drier)

The RFD contains desiccant to absorb moisture This absorption is limited. Leaving the RFD installed on a partially open system may reduce its capacity by allowing it to absorb moisture.

The RFD is a reservoir for excess refrigerant. The RFD also contains a sight glass in the top. A pick-up tube extends from the bottom of the canister to the outlet.

THERMOSTAT

For the best looking job the thermostat should be cut into a panel. (We do not recommend installation in the insulation or in the box, as the control is not moisture protected.) A cutting template is provided. Locate the thermostat close enough for the "bulb" tube to reach. It is only necessary that the bulb end of the sensing tube be installed on the plate. Use one of the mount screws for attaching the thermostat bulb clip to the plates. Secure any excess in a coil in the refrigerated space. Do not allow the sensing tube to contact any of the copper tubes. The sensing tube is hollow and filled with refrigerant; avoid bending it, which could cause it to crack and leak. Excess capillary tube should be left in the refrigerated box.

THERMOSTAT WIRING

The thermostat electrical leads are low voltage for safety. Connect the red thermostat wires to the two terminal screws in the BG 2000 terminal box. Use the # 8 ring terminals provided.

AC LINE CIRCUIT

A separate 30-AMPbreaker is required for the 110 volt AC circuit. A 15 amp double breaker should be used on a 230-volt unit. We recommend following ABYC guidelines for wire specifications and wiring procedures.

CONNECTION ACCESS

Remove the two screws in the front panel to revel the line terminal board, pump supply, and thermostat connections.
