3--Phase Monitor

In 3--phase units a small circuit board is factory installed to monitor

line voltage. A small led will flash if a phase problem exists. See
code descriptions on monitor. If LED is flashing, disconnect

power to unit and interchange 2 field--wiring leads on unit
contactor.

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment

damage or improper operation.
Ensure compressor rotation is correct.

S

3--phase scroll compressors are rotation sensitive.

A flash LED on phase monitor indicates reverse rotation.
(See Table 3)

This will not allow contractor to be energized.

Disconnect power to unit and interchange 2 field--wiring
leads on unit contactor.

CAUTION

!

Sequence of Operation

Turn on power to indoor and outdoor units. Transformer is
energized.
On a call for cooling, thermostat makes circuits R--Y and R--G.
Circuit R--Y energizes contactor, starting outdoor fan motor and

compressor circuit. R--G energizes indoor unit blower relay,

starting indoor blower motor on high speed.
When thermostat is satisfied, its contacts open, de--energizing

contactor and blower relay. Compressor and motors stop.
If indoor unit is equipped with a time--delay relay circuit, the

indoor blower will run an additional 90 seconds to increase system

efficiency.

Check Charge

Factory charge amount and desired subcooling are shown on unit
rating plate. Charging method is shown on information plate inside

unit. To properly check or adjust charge, conditions must be

favorable for subcooling charging. Favorable conditions exist
when the outdoor temperature is between 70_F and 100_F

(21.11_C and 37.78_C), and the indoor temperature is between
70_F and 80_F (21.11_C and 26.67_C). Follow the procedure

below:
Unit is factory charged for 15ft (4.57 m) of lineset. Adjust charge

by adding or removing 0.6 oz/ft of 3/8 liquid line above or below

15ft (4.57 m) respectively.
For standard refrigerant line lengths (80 ft/24.38 m or less), allow

system to operate in cooling mode at least 15 minutes. If conditions
are favorable, check system charge by subcooling method. If any

adjustment is necessary, adjust charge slowly and allow system to

operate for 15 minutes to stabilize before declaring a properly
charged system.
If the indoor temperature is above 80_F (26.67_C), and the
outdoor temperature is in the favorable range, adjust system charge

by weight based on line length and allow the indoor temperature to

drop to 80_F (26.67_C) before attempting to check system charge
by subcooling method as described above.
If the indoor temperature is below 70_F (21.11_C), or the outdoor
temperature is not in the favorable range, adjust charge for line set

length above or below 15ft (4.57 m) only. Charge level should then
be appropriate for the system to achieve rated capacity. The charge

level could then be checked at another time when the both indoor

and outdoor temperatures are in a more favorable range.
NOTE: If line length is beyond 80 ft (24.38 m) or greater than 20
ft (6.10 m) vertical separation, See Long Line Guideline for
special charging requirements.

Final Checks

IMPORTANT: Before leaving job, be sure to do the following:

1. Ensure that all wiring is routed away from tubing and sheet

metal edges to prevent rub--through or wire pinching.

2. Ensure that all wiring and tubing is secure in unit before

adding panels and covers. Securely fasten all panels and
covers.

3. Tighten service valve stem caps to 1/12--turn past finger

tight.

4. Leave Owner’s Manual with owner. Explain system opera-

tion and periodic maintenance requirements outlined in
manual.

5. Fill out Dealer Installation Checklist and place in customer

file.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

For continuing high performance and to minimize possible

equipment failure, periodic maintenance must be performed on this

equipment.
Frequency of maintenance may vary depending upon geographic

areas, such as coastal applications. See Owner’s Manual for
information.
