START-UP AND OPERATION

Prior to starting unit for the first time,

turn the thermostat system switch to

oFF - or raise the cooling setpoint to

the highest temperature, to prevent the

unit from starting. Close the electrical

disconnect switch. This will energize the

compressor crankcase heater(s). WAIT

A MINIMUM OF FOUR HOURS BEFORE

STARTING THE SYSTEM. This period will

allow the crankcase heater to vaporize

any liquid refrigerant in the compressor

crankcase.

Start unit and check rotation of fans and compressors.

Scroll compressors will only compress in one rotational

direction. Three phase compressors will rotate in either

direction depending upon phasing of the power. Since

there is a 50-50 chance of connecting power in such a

way as to cause rotation in the reverse direction, it is

important to ensure proper rotation direction is achieved

when the system is installed and operated.

Verification of proper direction is made by observing

that suction pressure drops and discharge pressure

rises when the compressor is energized. Reverse rota-

tion also results in an elevated sound level as well as

substantially reduced current draw.

There is no negative impacts on durability caused by

operating three phase Scroll compressors in the re-

versed direction for a short period of time (less than one

hour). However, after several minutes of operation the

compressors internal protector will trip.

If opposite rotation is needed, disconnect and reverse

any two leads of the three phase supply. Reconnect

power and observe for correct rotation.

Observe unit operation and check for unusual noise or

vibration.

REFRIGERANT CHARGES

The Air Conditioning section of this

equipment is charged with R-410A; a hi-

pressure refrigerant. Only qualified techni-

cians, using appropriately pressure-rated

test instruments, should perform trouble-

shooting or service on this equipment.
