2. Disconnect leads on switch.
3. Apply ohm meter leads across switch. You should have

continuity on a good switch.

NOTE:

Because these switches are attached to refrigeration

system under pressure, it is not advisable to remove this device for
troubleshooting unless you are reasonably certain that a problem
exists. If switch must be removed, remove and recover all system
charge so that pressure gauges read 0 psi. Never open system
without breaking vacuum with dry nitrogen.
High--Pressure Switch
The high--pressure switch is located in the discharge line and

protects against excessive condenser coil pressure. It opens at 650

psig.
High pressure may be caused by a dirty outdoor coil, failed fan

motor, or outdoor air recirculation. To check switch:

1. Turn off all power to unit.
2. Disconnect leads on switch.
3. Apply ohm meter leads across switch. You should have

continuity on a good switch.

Copeland Scroll Compressor (Puron Refrigerant)
The compressor used in this product is specifically designed to

operate with Puron (R--410A) refrigerant and cannot be
interchanged.

The compressor is an electrical (as well as mechanical) device.
Exercise extreme caution when working near compressors. Power

should be shut off, if possible, for most troubleshooting techniques.
Refrigerants present additional safety hazards.

EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury

or death and/or property damage.
Wear safety glasses and gloves when handling refrigerants.

Keep torches and other ignition sources away from

refrigerants and oils.

!

WARNING

The scroll compressor pumps refrigerant throughout the system by
the interaction of a stationary and an orbiting scroll. The scroll

compressor has no dynamic suction or discharge valves, and it is

more tolerant of stresses caused by debris, liquid slugging, and
flooded starts. The compressor is equipped with an internal

pressure relief port. The pressure relief port is a safety device,
designed to protect against extreme high pressure. The relief port

has an operating range between 550 and 625 psig differential
pressure.
