Gas Input

The gas input does not require checking unless improper heating

performance is suspected. If a problem exists, refer to the Start--Up
section.

Evaporator Airflow

The heating and/or cooling airflow does not require checking
unless improper performance is suspected. If a problem exists, be

sure that all supply-- and return--air grilles are open and free from

obstructions, and that the air filter is clean. When necessary, refer to
the Indoor Airflow and Airflow Adjustments section to check the

system airflow.

Puron Items
Metering Device (Thermostatic Expansion Valve )

This metering device is a hard shutoff, balance port TXV. The
TXV maintains a constant superheat at the evaporator exit resulting

in higher overall system efficiency.

Pressure Switches

Pressure switches are protective devices wired into control circuit
(low voltage). They shut off compressor if abnormally high or low

pressures are present in the refrigeration circuit. These pressure
switches are specifically designed to operate with Puron (R--410A)

systems. R--22 pressure switches must not be used as replacements

for the Puron (R--410A) system.

Loss of Charge Switch

This switch is located on the liquid line and protects against low

suction pressures caused by such events as loss of charge, low

airflow across indoor coil, dirty filters, etc. It opens on a pressure
drop at about 20 psig. If system pressure is above this, switch

should be closed. To check switch:

1. Turn off all power to unit.
2. Disconnect leads on switch.
3. Apply ohm meter leads across switch. You should have

continuity on a good switch.

NOTE:

Because these switches are attached to refrigeration

system under pressure, it is not advisable to remove this device for
troubleshooting unless you are reasonably certain that a problem
exists. If switch must be removed, remove and recover all system

charge so that pressure gauges read 0 psig. Never open system
without breaking vacuum with dry nitrogen.

High--Pressure Switch

The high--pressure switch is located in the discharge line and
protects against excessive condenser coil pressure. It opens at 650

psig.
High pressure may be caused by a dirty outdoor coil, failed fan

motor, or outdoor air recirculation. To check switch:

1. Turn off all power to unit.
2. Disconnect leads on switch.
3. Apply ohm meter leads across switch. You should have

continuity on a good switch.

Copeland Scroll Compressor (Puron Refrigerant)

The compressor used in this product is specifically designed to

operate with Puron (R--410A) refrigerant and cannot be

interchanged.
The compressor is an electrical (as well as mechanical) device.

Exercise extreme caution when working near compressors. Power
should be shut off, if possible, for most troubleshooting techniques.

Refrigerants present additional safety hazards.

FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal

injury or death and/or property damage.
Wear safety glasses and gloves when handling refrigerants.

Keep torches and other ignition sources away from

refrigerants and oils.

!

WARNING

The scroll compressor pumps refrigerant throughout the system by

the interaction of a stationary and an orbiting scroll. The scroll
compressor has no dynamic suction or discharge valves, and it is

more tolerant of stresses caused by debris, liquid slugging, and

flooded starts. The compressor is equipped with an anti--rotational
device and an internal pressure relief port. The pressure relief port

is a safety device, designed to protect against extreme high
