Start Up
Scroll Compressors
a.Once each compressor has started, verify that the rotation is correct. If a scroll compressor is rotating backwards, it will not pump and a loud rattling sound can be observed.
b.If the electrical phasing is correct, before condemning a compressor, interchange any two leads (at the compressor Terminal block) to check the internal phasing. Refer to the following illustration for the compressor terminal/phase identification. If the compressor runs backward for an extended period (15 to 30 minutes), the motor winding can overheat and cause the motor winding thermostat to open.
Figure 15.
c.Check the compressor oil levels. The oil level in each compressor sight glass should be 1/2 to 3/4 full when they are “Off”.
Note: The scroll compressor uses Trane
2.After the compressor and condenser fan have started and operated for approximately 30 minutes, observe the operating pressures. Compare the operating pressures to the operating pressure curve in the Service Facts.
3.Check system superheat. Follow the instruction listed on the superheat charging curve in the Service Facts.
Superheat should be within ±5 F of the superheat chart value.
4.Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each refrigerant circuit.
5.To stop the SERVICE TEST, turn the main power disconnect switch to the “Off” position or proceed to the next component
Heating Start-Up
1.Clamp an amp meter around one of 1st stage heater power wires at the heater contactor.
