Bryant 3-PHASE 602A - Manual (Page 15)

PRE-START-UP
WARNING: Failure to observe the following warnings
could result in serious personal injury or death:
1. Follow recognized safety practices and wear protective
goggles when checking or servicing refrigerant system.
2. Do not operate compressor or provide any electric
power to unit unless compressor terminal cover is in
place and secured.
3. Do not remove compressor terminal cover until all
electrical sources are disconnected and tagged.
4. Relieve and recover all refrigerant from system before
touching or disturbing anything inside terminal box if
refrigerant leak is suspected around compressor termi-
nals.
5. Never attempt to repair soldered connection while
refrigerant system is under pressure.
6. Do not use torch to remove any component. System
contains oil and refrigerant under pressure.
To remove a component, wear protective goggles and
proceed as follows:
a. Shut off electrical power to unit and install lockout
tag.
b. Relieve and reclaim all refrigerant from system
using both high- and low-pressure ports.
c. Cut component connecting tubing with tubing cutter
and remove component from unit.
d. Carefully unsweat remaining tubing stubs when
necessary. Oil can ignite when exposed to torch
flame.
Use the Start-Up Checklist supplied at the end of this book and
proceed as follows to inspect and prepare the unit for initial
start-up:
1. Remove access panel.
2. Read and follow instructions on all DANGER, WARNING,
CAUTION, and INFORMATION labels attached to, or
shipped with, unit.
3. Make the following inspections:
a. Inspect for shipping and handling damages such as
broken lines, loose parts, disconnected wires, etc.
b. Inspect for oil at all refrigerant tubing connections and
on unit base. Detecting oil generally indicates a refrig-
erant leak. Leak-test all refrigerant tubing connections
using electronic leak detector, or liquid-soap solution. If
a refrigerant leak is detected, see following Check for
Refrigerant Leaks section.
c. Inspect all field and factory-wiring connections. Be sure
that connections are completed and tight.
d. Ensure wires do not touch refrigerant tubing or sharp
sheet metal edges.
e. Inspect coil fins. If damaged during shipping and han-
dling, carefully straighten fins with a fin comb.
4. Verify the following conditions:
a. Make sure that outdoor-fan blade is correctly positioned
in fan orifice (See Fig. 19).
b. Make sure that condensate drain pan and trap are filled
with water to ensure proper drainage.
c. Make sure that all tools and miscellaneous loose parts
have been removed.
5. Compressors are internally spring mounted. Do not loosen
or remove compressor holddown bolts.
6. Each unit system has 2 Schrader-type ports, one low-side
Schrader fitting located on the suction line, and one
high-side Schrader fitting located on the compressor dis-
charge line. Be sure that caps on the ports are tight.
7. High flow valves are located on the compressor hot gas and
suction tubes. These valves can not be accessed for service
in the field. Ensure the plastic caps are in place and tight or
the possibility or refrigerant leakage could occur.
START-UP
Using the Start-Up Checklist supplied at the end of this book,
proceed as follows:
I.
CHECK FOR REFRIGERANT LEAKS
Locate and repair refrigerant leaks and charge the unit as follows:
1. Use both high- and low-pressure ports to relieve system
pressure and reclaim remaining refrigerant.
2. Repair leak following accepted practices.
NOTE: Install a bi-flow filter drier whenever the system has been
opened for repair.
3. Check system for leaks using an approved method.
4. Reclaim refrigerant and evacuate refrigerant system to 500
microns if no additional leaks are found.
5. Charge unit with R-22 refrigerant, using a volumetric-
charging cylinder or accurate scale. Refer to unit rating
plate for required charge. Be sure to add extra refrigerant to
compensate for internal volume of filter drier.
II. START-UP ADJUSTMENTS
Complete the required procedures given in the Pre-Start-Up
section before starting the unit. Do not jumper any safety devices
when operating the unit. Do not operate the unit in Cooling mode
when the outdoor temperature is below 40° F (unless accessory
low-ambient kit is installed). Do not rapid-cycle the compressor.
Allow 5 minute between “on” cycles to prevent compressor
damage.
A.
CHECKING COOLING AND HEATING
CONTROL OPERATION
Start and check the unit for proper control operation as follows:
1. Place room thermostat SYSTEM switch in OFF position.
Observe that blower motor starts when FAN switch is
placed in ON position and shuts down within 60 sec. when
FAN switch is placed in AUTO position.
2. Place SYSTEM switch in COOL position and FAN switch
in AUTO position. Set control below room temperature.
Observe that cooling cycle shuts down when control setting
is satisfied.
3. Place system switch in HEAT position. Set control above
room temperature. Observe that compressor, outdoor fan,
and indoor blower motors start. Observe that heating cycle
shuts down when control setting is satisfied.
4. When using an automatic changeover room thermostat,
place both SYSTEM and FAN switches in AUTO positions.
Observe that unit operates in Cooling mode when tempera-
ture control is set to “call for Cooling” (below room
temperature), and unit operates in Heating mode when
temperature control is set to “call for Heating” (above room
temperature).
