OPERATION
COOLING SYSTEM
The cooling section is a complete factory package utilizing an
The compressor is hermetically sealed and internally sprung. The compressors have inherent (internal) protection. If there is an abnormal temperature rise in the compressor, the protector will open to shut down the compressor.
PRELIMINARY OPERATION COOLING
After the installation has been completed, energize the crankcase heater (3 ton only) for at least 4 hours before operating the unit. After this initial
NOTE: Prior to each cooling season, the crankcase heater (3 ton only) must be energized at least 10 hours before the system is put into operation.
COOLING SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
After the thermostat is satisfied and opens, the blower will continue to run for a short time. All other components will stop.
CONTINUOUS BLOWER - Continuous blower operation is possible by closing the R to G circuit on the thermostat.
SAFETY CONTROLS (Cooling)
The refrigerant system is equipped wth the following safety controls:
1.A Suction Line Freezestat to protect against low evapora- tor temperature due to low air flow or a low return air tem- perature.
2.A High Pressure Cutout Switch to protect against excessive discharge pressures due to a blocked condenser coil or a condenser motor failure.
3.A Low Pressure Switch to protect against loss of refrigerant charge.
If neither one of the above safety controls opens, the refrigerant system will be locked out. The lock out of the system can be reset by opening the 24V circuit either at the room thermostat or at the unit disconnect.
HEATING SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
The following sequence describes the operation of the gas heat section.
CONTINUOUS BLOWER: With the room thermostat switch set to “ON”, the supply air blower will operate continuously. The normally closed blower interlock relay contact
INTERMITTENT BLOWER: With the room thermostat system switch set to the “AUTO” or “HEAT” position and the fan switch set to “AUTO”, the supply air blower will operate after the room thermostat calls for heat and the air in the gas heat compartment has achieved a
When “TH1" on the thermostat closes, the draft motor relay ”DMR" or “DMC” is energized. The “DMR” or “DMC” power contacts close which energizes the line voltage draft motor. As the speed of the draft motor reaches approximately 2500 RPM, the centrifugal switch contact “CS” located on the end of the draft motor shaft closes to power the ignition control “IC”.
After 15 seconds the “IC” will start the ignitor sparking and will open the redundant valve locted inside the main gas valve “GV” to allow a flow of gas to only the carryover tube. See Figure 10. Only after the pilot flame has been ignited and the presence of pilot flame detected at the “IC” by a signal sent back through the flame sensor is sparking terminated and the main gas valve opened.

FIG. 10 - GAS VALVE PIPING
Gas flows into each of the main burners and is ignited from the carryover tube flame.
The “IC” will try for 85 seconds to ignite the pilot carryover tube. If the “IC” fails to detect a pilot flame during the 85 seconds, it will close the redundant valve. After a 5 minute purge period, the “IC” will again try to light the pilot carryover tube. This will continue continuously until the “IC” detects a pilot flame.
If, after detecting a pilot flame and opening the main gas valve, the “IC” looses pilot flame indication, it will close both the main and redundant gas valves. The “IC” will start the above sequence over until a pilot flame is detected and it will open the main gas valve again.
The “IC” will only allow 16 pilot flameouts and a single rollout switch opening per thermostat cycle. After 16 pilot flameouts or a single rollout switch opening, the “IC” closes both the main and redundant gas valves. The “IC” requires resetting the thermostat or removal of it's power lead coming from the draft motor to reset the “IC” and return it to the above sequence of operation.
At the same time power was supplied to the “DMR” or “DMC”, a parallel circuit activates the time delay relay “BT” or “ETD”. The “BT” or “ETD” closes in approximetly 35 seconds and starts the circulating air blower by energizing the blower interlock relay “K3", thus closing the
