G

3. Program/verify the Cooling Setpoints, Program

Setpoints, and unit Options. Record the values
below (see sections on Setpoints and Unit keys
for programming instruction).

G

4. Put the unit into Service Mode (as described un-

der the Control Service And Troubleshooting sec-
tion) and cycle each condenser fan to ensure
proper rotation.

G

5. Prior to this step, turn system 2 off (if applicable -

refer to Option 2 under “Unit Keys” section for
more information on system switches.) Connect
a manifold gauge to system 1 suction and dis-
charge service valves.

Place the Unit Switch in the control panel to the
ON position. As each compressor cycles on,
ensure that the discharge pressure rises and
the suction pressure decreases.
If this does
not occur, the compressor being tested is oper-
ating in the reverse direction and must be cor-
rected. After verifying proper compressor rotation,
turn the Unit Switch to “OFF.”

The chilled liquid setpoint may need
to be temporarily lowered to ensure all
compressors cycle “on.”

This unit uses scroll compressors
which can only operate in one direc-
tion. Failure to observe these steps
could lead to compressor failure.

G

6. YCAL0040 - YCAL0080 units only – Turn system

1 off and system 2 on (refer to Option 2 under
“Unit Keys” section for more information on sys-
tem switches.)

Place the Unit Switch in the control panel to the
ON position. As each compressor cycles “on,”
ensure that the discharge pressure rises and
the suction pressure decreases.
If this does
not occur, the compressor being tested is oper-
ating in the reverse direction and must be cor-
rected. After verifying proper compressor rotation,
turn the Unit Switch to “OFF.”

The chilled liquid setpoint may need
to be temporarily lowered to ensure all
compressors cycle “on.”

G

7. After verifying compressor rotation, return the Unit

Switch to the off position and ensure that both
Systems are programmed for “ON” (refer to Op-
tion 2 under “Unit Keys” section for more infor-
mation on system switches).

INITIAL START-UP

After the preceding checks have been completed and
the control panel has been programmed as required in
the pre-startup checklist, the chiller may be placed into
operation.

G

1. Place the Unit Switch in the control panel to the

ON position.

G

2. The first compressor will start and a flow of re-

frigerant will be noted in the sight glass. After sev-
eral minutes of operation, the vapor in the sight
glass will clear and there should be a solid col-
umn of liquid when the TXV stabilizes.

G

3. Allow the compressor to run a short time, being

ready to stop it immediately if any unusual noise
or adverse conditions develop.

G

4. Check the system operating parameters. Do this

by selecting various displays such as pressures
and temperatures and comparing these readings
to pressures and temperatures taken with mani-
fold gauges and temperature sensors.

G

5. With an ammeter, verify that each phase of the

condenser fans and compressors are within the
RLA as listed under Electrical Data.

CHECKING SUPERHEAT AND SUBCOOLING

The subcooling and superheat should always be
checked when charging the system with refrigerant.
When the refrigerant charge is correct, there will be no
vapor in the liquid sight glass with the system operating
under full load conditions, and there will be 15°F (8.34°C)
subcooled liquid leaving the condenser.
An overcharged system should be guarded against. The
temperature of the liquid refrigerant out of the condenser
should be no more than 15°F (8.34°C) subcooled at
design conditions.
