COOLING TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
On calls for cooling, if the compressors are operating but the supply air blower motor does not energize after a short delay (the room thermostat fan switch is in the “AUTO” position):
1.Turn the thermostat fan switch to the ON position. If the supply air blower motor does not energize, go to Step 3.
2.If the blower motor runs with the fan switch in the ON position but will not run after the first compressor has energized when the fan switch is in the AUTO position, check the room thermostat for contact between R and G in the AUTO position during calls for cooling.
3.If the supply air blower motor does not energize when the fan switch is set to ON, check that line voltage is being supplied to the contacts of the M3, contactor, and that the contactor is pulled in. Check for loose wiring between the contactor and the supply air blower motor.
4.If M3 is pulled in and voltage is supplied to M3, lightly touch the supply air blower motor housing. If it is hot, the motor may be off on internal protection. Cancel any thermostat calls and set the fan switch to AUTO. Wait for the internal overload to reset. Test again when cool.
5.If M3 is not pulled in, check for 24 volts at the M3 coil. If 24 volts are present at M3 but M3 is not pulled in, replace the contactor.
6.Failing the above, if there is line voltage supplied at M3, M3 is pulled in, and the supply air blower motor still does not operate, replace the motor.
7.If 24 volts is not present at M3, check that 24 volts is present at the UCB supply air blower motor terminal, “FAN”. If 24 volts is present at the FAN, check for loose wiring between the UCB and M3.
8.If 24 volts is not present at the “FAN” terminal, check for 24 volts from the room thermostat. If 24 volts are not present from the room thermostat, check for the follow- ing:
a.Proper operation of the room thermostat (contact between R and G with the fan switch in the ON posi- tion and in the AUTO position during operation calls).
b.Proper wiring between the room thermostat and the UCB, and
c.Loose wiring from the room thermostat to the UCB
9.If 24 volts is present at the room thermostat but not at the UCB, check for proper wiring between the thermostat and the UCB, i.e. that the thermostat G terminal is con- nected to the G terminal of the UCB, and for loose wir- ing.
10.If the thermostat and UCB are properly wired, replace the UCB.
On calls for cooling, the supply air blower motor is operating but compressor #1 is not (the room thermostat fan switch is in the “AUTO” position):
1.If installed, check the position of the economizer blades. If the blades are open, the economizer is providing free cooling and the compressors will not immediately oper- ate. If both stages of cooling are requested simulta- neously and the economizer provides free cooling, following a short delay compressor #1 will be energized unless it is locked out. If compressor #1 is locked out, compressor #2 is energized. Compressor #2 is always energized in place of compressor #1 when compressor #1 is requested but locked out.
2.If no economizer is installed or the economizer is not opening to provide free cooling and compressor #1 does not energize on a call for cooling, check for line voltage at the compressor contactor, M1, and that the contactor is pulled in. Check for loose wiring between the contac- tor and the compressor.
3.If M1 is pulled in and voltage is supplied at M1, lightly touch the compressor housing. If it is hot, the compres- sor may be off on inherent protection. Cancel any calls for cooling and wait for the internal overload to reset. Test again when cool.
4.If M1 is not pulled in, check for 24 volts at the M1 coil. If 24 volts are present and M1 is not pulled in, replace the contactor.
5.Failing the above, if voltage is supplied at M1, M1 is pulled in, and the compressor still does not operate, replace the compressor.
6.If 24 volts is not present at M1, check for 24 volts at the UCB terminal, C1. If 24 volts is present, check for loose wiring between C1 and the compressor contactor.
7.If 24 volts is not present at the C1 terminal, check for 24 volts from the room thermostat at the UCB Y1 terminal. If 24 volts is not present from the room thermostat, check for the following:
a.24 volts at the thermostat Y1 terminal
b.Proper wiring between the room thermostat and the UCB, i.e. Y1 to Y1, Y2 to Y2, and
c.Loose wiring from the room thermostat to the UCB
8.If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y1 terminal, the com- pressor may be out due to an open
9.If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y1 terminal and none of the protection switches have opened, the UCB may have
