Compressor Overload —

This overload interrupts power to the compressor when

either the current or internal motor winding temperature

becomes excessive, and automatically resets when the

internal temperature drops to a safe level. This overload

may require up to 60 minutes (or longer) to reset. If the

internal overload is suspected of being open, disconnect

the electrical power to the unit and check the circuit

through the overload with an ohmmeter or continuity

tester.

Advanced Scroll Temperature Protection (ASTP) —

A label located above the terminal box identifies Copeland

Scroll compressor models that contain this technology. See

Fig. 19. Advanced Scroll Temperature Protection (ASTP) is

a form of internal discharge temperature protection, that

unloads the scroll compressor when the internal temperature

reaches approximately 149_C (300_F). At this temperature,

an internal bi--metal disk valve opens and causes the scroll

elements to separate, which stops compression. Suction and

discharge pressures balance while the motor continues to

run. The longer the compressor runs unloaded, the longer it

must cool before the bi--metal disk resets. See Fig. 20.

After Compressor is Stopped

To manually reset ASTP, the compressor should be

stopped and allowed to cool. If the compressor is not

stopped, the motor will run until the motor protector trips,

which occurs up to 90 minutes later. Advanced Scroll

Temperature Protection will reset automatically before the

motor protector resets, which may take up to 2 hours.

Start Unit

Set the space thermostat to a set point above space

temperature so that there is no demand for cooling. Close

the 569J disconnect switch. Only the crankcase heater will

be energized.

Reset the space thermostat below ambient so that a call

for cooling is ensured.

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

damage.
Never charge liquid into the low-pressure side of

system. Do not overcharge. During charging or

removal of refrigerant, be sure indoor-fan system is

operating. Ensure both outdoor fan motors are

running; bypass any Motormaster function.

CAUTION

!

Adjust Refrigerant Charge —

Refer to Cooling Charging Charts, Fig. 21 through Fig. 32.

For applications with line lengths greater than 125 ft (38 m),

contact Bryant representative. Vary refrigerant until the

conditions of the chart are met. Note that the charging charts

are different from the type normally used. The charts are

based on charging the units to the correct subcooling for the

various operating conditions. Accurate pressure gage and

temperature sensing device are required. Connect the

pressure gage to the service port on the liquid line service

valve. Mount the temperature sensing device on the liquid

line close to the liquid line service valve, and insulate it so

that outdoor ambient temperature does not affect the reading.

Indoor airflow must be within the unit’s normal operating

range. Operate the unit for a minimum of 15 minutes.

Ensure that pressure and temperature readings have

stabilized. Plot the liquid pressure and temperature on chart

and add or reduce the charge to meet the curve. Adjust the

charge to conform with the charging chart, using the liquid

pressure and temperature to read the chart.

Using plotted operating point:

If plotted operating condition is --

Adjust charge by --

BELOW the curve

Final Checks —

Ensure that all safety controls are operating, control panel

covers are on, and the service panels are in place.
