Startup
(See back of the manual for startup form.)
Compressors
All
compressors
are
equipped
with
crankcase
heaters,
which
should
be
energized at least 24 hours prior to cooling
operation of the compressor.
Charging Refrigerant & Adjusting
Refrigerant Charge
The unit comes with full charge based on a
25 foot line set. Charging a system in the
field must be based on determination of
liquid sub-cooling and evaporator superheat.
On a system with a TXV, liquid sub-cooling
is more representative of the charge than
evaporator superheat but both measurements
must be taken.
Before Charging
Unit being charged must be at or near full
load conditions before adjusting the charge.
Units equipped with hot gas bypass must
have the hot gas bypass valve closed to get
the proper charge.
Rotation must be checked on all
MOTORS AND COMPRESSORS of
three phase units. Condenser fan
motors should all be checked by a
qualified service technician at startup
and any wiring alteration should only
be
made
at
the
unit
power
connection.
Improper
installation,
adjustment,
alteration, service or maintenance
can
cause
property
damage,
personal injury or loss of life.
Installation and service must be
performed by a trained, qualified
installer.
WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Shut off all
electrical power to the unit to avoid
shock hazard or injury from rotating
parts.
WARNING
CAUTION
Scroll compressors are directional
and will be damaged by operation in
the wrong direction. Low pressure
switches on compressors have been
disconnected after factory testing.
Rotation should be checked by a
qualified service technician at startup
using suction and discharge pressure
gauges and any wiring alteration
should only be made at the unit
power connection.
CAUTION
The Clean Air Act of 1990 bans the
intentional venting of refrigerant
(CFC’s and HCFC’s) as of July 1,
1992. Approved methods of recovery,
recycling or reclaiming must be
followed. Fines and/or incarceration
may be levied for non-compliance.
