Packaged DX Cooling Operation and
Control
When a call for cooling (G and Y1, Y2, etc.)
is made the supply fan motors and
compressors will energize.


















Maintenance

(See back of the manual for maintenance
log.)

At least once each year, a qualified service
technician should check out the unit. Supply
fans, evaporator coils and air filters should
be inspected monthly.













Periodically during operation, it is necessary
to perform routine service checks on the
performance of the unit. This includes

checking of the air flow, the air filters,
condenser water flow and refrigerant charge.

See Startup section for information on air
flow adjustment and refrigerant charge
adjustment.

DX Cooling
Set unit controls to cooling mode of
operation with supply fans on. Check the
fans

for

correct

operating

direction,

amperage and voltage. Check compressor
operation, rotation, amperage and voltage to
the unit nameplate (check the amperage on
the load side of the compressor contactor).

Condensate Drain Pans
Drain pans will have moisture present and
require

periodic

cleaning

to

prevent

microbial growth. Cleaning of the drain pans
will also prevent any possible plugging of
the drain lines and overflow of the pan itself.
Cleaning of the drain pans and inside of the
unit should be done only by qualified
personnel.

E-Coated Coil Cleaning
Documented routine cleaning of e-coated
coils is required to maintain coating
warranty coverage.








Surface loaded fibers or dirt should be
removed prior to water rinse to prevent
restriction of airflow. If unable to back wash
the side of the coil opposite of the coils
entering air side, then surface loaded fibers
or dirt should be removed with a vacuum
cleaner. If a vacuum cleaner is not available,
a soft non-metallic bristle brush may be
used. In either case, the tool should be
applied in the direction of the fins. Coil
surfaces can be easily damaged (fin edges


Improper

installation,

adjustment,

alteration, service or maintenance
can

cause

property

damage,

personal injury or loss of life. Startup
and service must be performed by a
Factory Trained Service Technician.
A copy of this IOM should be kept
with the unit.
