placed in ON position and shuts down when FAN switch is
placed in AUTO position.

2. Place SYSTEM switch in COOL position and FAN switch

in AUTO position. Set cooling control below room
temperature. Observe that compressor, condenser fan, and

evaporator blower motors start. Observe that cooling cycle
shuts down when control setting is satisfied. The evaporator

fan will continue to run for 90 sec.

IMPORTANT:

Three--phase, scroll compressors units are

direction oriented. Unit must be checked to ensure proper
compressor 3--phase power lead orientation. If not corrected within
5 minutes, the internal protector will shut off the compressor. The
3--phase power leads to the unit must be reversed to correct
rotation. When turning backwards, the difference between
compressor suction and discharge pressures will be near zero.

Checking and Adjusting Refrigerant Charge

The refrigerant system is fully charged with PuronR (R--410A)
refrigerant and is tested and factory sealed. Allow system to operate

a minimum of 15 minutes before checking or adjusting charge.
NOTE: Adjustment of the refrigerant charge is not required unless
the unit is suspected of not having the proper PuronR (R--410A)
charge.
The charging label and the tables shown refer to system

temperatures and pressures in cooling mode only. A refrigerant

charging label is attached to the inside of the compressor access
panel (see Fig. 18). The chart includes the required liquid line

temperature at given discharge line pressures and outdoor ambient
temperatures.
An accurate thermocouple-- or thermistor--type thermometer, and a
gauge manifold are required when using the subcooling charging

method for evaluating the unit charge. Do not use mercury or small

dial--type thermometers because they are not adequate for this type
of measurement.

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit damage.
When evaluating the refrigerant charge, an indicated

adjustment to the specified factory charge must always be
very minimal. If a substantial adjustment is indicated, an

abnormal condition exists somewhere in the cooling system,
such as insufficient airflow across either coil or both coils.

!

CAUTION

Proceed as follows:

1. Remove caps from low-- and high--pressure service fittings.
2. Using hoses with valve core depressors, attach low-- and

high--pressure gauge hoses to low-- and high--pressure
service fittings, respectively.

3. Start unit in Cooling Mode and let unit run until system

pressures stabilize.

4. Measure and record the following:

a. Outdoor ambient--air temperature (°F [°C] db).

b. Liquid line temperature (°F [°C]).

c. Discharge (high--side) pressure (psig).

d. Suction (low--side) pressure (psig) (for reference only).

5. Using “Cooling Charging Charts,” compare outdoor--air

temperature(°F [°C] db) with the discharge line pressure

(psig) to determine desired system operating liquid line

temperature (See Fig. 16).

6. Compare actual liquid line temperature with desired liquid

line temperature. Using a tolerance of ± 2°F (±1.1°C), add

refrigerant if actual temperature is more than 2°F (1.1°C)

higher than proper liquid line temperature, or remove

refrigerant if actual temperature is more than 2°F (1.1°C)

lower than required liquid line temperature.

NOTE: If the problem causing the inaccurate readings is a
refrigerant leak, refer to the Check for Refrigerant Leaks section.

Indoor Airflow and Airflow Adjustments

UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit damage.
For cooling operation, the recommended airflow is 350 to

450 cfm for each 12,000 Btuh of rated cooling capacity. For

heating operation, the airflow must produce a temperature

rise that falls within the range stamped on the unit rating

plate.

CAUTION

!

NOTE: Be sure that all supply--and return--air grilles are open,
free from obstructions, and adjusted properly.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal

injury or death.
Before making any indoor wiring adjustments, shut off gas

supply. Then disconnect electrical power to the unit and

install lockout tag before changing blower speed.

!

WARNING

This unit has independent fan speeds for gas heating and cooling.

In addition, this unit has the field-selectable capability to run two

different cooling fan speeds: A normal cooling fan speed (350~400
CFM/Ton) and an enhanced dehumidification fan speed (As low as

320 CFM/Ton) for use with either a dehumidistat or a thermostat
that supports dehumidification.
This unit is factory-set up for use with a single cooling fan speed.

The cooling speed is marked “LOW” on the interface fan board
(IFB) (See Fig. 13) . The factory-shipped settings are noted in

Table 7. There are 3 additional speed tap wires available for use in
either gas heating or cooling (For color coding on the indoor fan

motor leads, see Table 6). The additional 3 speed tap wires are

shipped loose with vinyl caps and are located in the control box,
near the interface fan board (IFB) (See Fig. 13).

Gas Heating Fan Speed Set-up

To change the gas heating speed:

1. Remove the vinyl cap off of the desired speed tap wire

(Refer to Table 6 for color coding). Table 7 shows the
temperature rise associated with each fan speed for a given

static pressure. Make sure that the speed chosen delivers a
temperature rise within the rise range listed on the unit

rating plate.

2. Remove the current speed tap wire from the “GAS HEAT”

terminal on the interface fan board (IFB) (Fig. 13) and place

vinyl cap over the connector on the wire.

3. Connect the desired speed tap wire to the “GAS HEAT”

terminal on the interface fan board (IFB).

Single Cooling Fan Speed Set-up (Dehumidification

feature not used)

To change cooling speed:

1. Remove the vinyl cap off of the desired speed tap wire

(Refer to Table 6 for color coding). Add the wet coil

pressure drop in Table 9 to the system static to determine the
correct cooling airflow speed in Table 7 that will deliver the

nominal cooling airflow as listed in Table 1 for each size.
