Operation

Unit operations should be controlled with

thermostat or unit controller, never at the

main power supply, except for emergency or

complete shutdown of the unit.

Packaged DX Cooling Operation and

Control

When a call for cooling is made the supply

fan motors and compressors will energize.

Electric Heating Operation

When a call for heating (G and W1, W2,

etc.) is made the supply fan motors and

electric resistance heaters will energize.

Heating is accomplished by passing

electrical current through a specified amount

of resistance heaters which will produce the

required heat.

On a fault condition the main limit located

in the supply air or the auxiliary limit

located downstream the supply blower will

remove power from all contactors.

Steam or Hot Water Preheating

Operation

Valve control for steam and hot water

heating coils are by others. Heating is

accomplished by passing steam or hot water

through the steam or hot water coil

assembly.

Maintenance

(See back of the manual for maintenance

log.)

At least once each year, a qualified service

technician should check out the unit. Supply

fans, evaporator coils and air filters should

be inspected monthly.

Periodically during operation, it is necessary

to perform routine service checks on the

performance of the unit. This includes

checking of the air flow, the air filters,

condenser water flow and refrigerant charge.

See Startup section for information on air

flow adjustment and refrigerant charge

adjustment.

DX Cooling

Set unit controls to cooling mode of

operation with supply fans on. Check the

fans for correct operating direction,

amperage and voltage. Check compressor

operation, rotation, amperage and voltage to

the unit nameplate (check the amperage on

the load side of the compressor contactor).

Condensate Drain Pans

Drain pans will have moisture present and

require periodic cleaning to prevent

microbial growth. Cleaning of the drain pans

will also prevent any possible plugging of

the drain lines and overflow of the pan itself.

Improper installation, adjustment,

alteration, service or maintenance

can cause property damage,

personal injury or loss of life.

Installation and service must be

performed by a qualified installer. A

copy of this IOM should be kept with

the unit.
