Low Ambient Operation

All units are shipped standard with head master valves. (Scroll compressor units have a 100 PSI head master
valve and all other systems have a 180 PSI head master valve.) Condensing units with

multiple condenser

fans

will have one or more fans cycle on Pressure Fan Cycling switch.

An adjustable Time Delay relay, factory set at 1 minute, is wired across the Low Pressure Switch (LPS). In
cold ambient this allows time for the suction pressure to build up and prevent nuisance tripping of the LPS. In
warmer ambient this time delay relay can be adjusted to 0 minutes.

Pumpdown

At the end of each cooling cycle, when the box temperature is met, the Beacon system will pumpdown and
shut off the compressor.

To pumpdown, the EXV closes and the compressor runs until one of the following occurs:

the low pressure switch opens

the suction pressure at the evaporator is 4 psig

a total of two minutes has elapsed.

When any of these three conditions occur the compressor will turn off and not restart until there is a call for
cooling.

Periodic pumpdown

While in the OFF cycle, if there isn’t a call for cooling (box set-point temperature is met) but:

the evaporator suction pressure has risen to 10 psig

the low pressure switch has closed.

The system will initiate a pumpdown. This periodic pumpdown will occur at 4 minute intervals when these two
conditions are met.
