NOTES:

1.This code indicates an internal processor fault that will reset itself in one

hr. Fault can be caused by stray RF signals in the structure or nearby. This

is a UL requirement.

2. LED indicates acceptable operation. Do not change ignition control

board.

3. When W is energized the burners will remain on for a minimum of 60 sec.

4. If more than one error mode exists they will be displayed on the LED in

sequence.

Rollout Switch

The function of the rollout switch is to close the main gas valve in
the event of flame rollout. The switch is located above the main

burners. When the temperature at the rollout switch reaches the
maximum allowable temperature, the control circuit trips, closing

the gas valve and stopping gas flow to the burners. The indoor

(evaporator) fan motor (IFM) and induced draft motor continue to
run until switch is reset. The IGC LED will display FAULT CODE

7.

Step 4 — Start--up Cooling and Make Adjust-

ments

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 compressor when the
outdoor temperature is below 40°F (4.4°C) (unless accessory

low--ambient kit is installed). Do not rapid--cycle the compressor.
Allow 5 minutes between on cycles to prevent compressor damage.

Checking Cooling Control Operation

Start and check the unit for proper cooling 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 when FAN switch is

placed in AUTO position.

2. Place SYSTEM switch in COOL position and FAN switch

in AUTO position. Set cooling control below room

temperature. Observe that compressor, condenser fan, and
evaporator blower motors start. Observe that cooling cycle

shuts down when control setting is satisfied. The evaporator
fan will continue to run for 90 sec.

IMPORTANT:

Three--phase, scroll compressors units are

direction oriented. Unit must be checked to ensure proper
compressor 3--phase power lead orientation. If not corrected within
5 minutes, the internal protector will shut off the compressor. The
3--phase power leads to the unit must be reversed to correct
rotation. When turning backwards, the difference between
compressor suction and discharge pressures will be near zero.

Checking and Adjusting Refrigerant Charge

The refrigerant system is fully charged with PuronR (R--410A)

refrigerant and is tested and factory sealed. Allow system to operate
a minimum of 15 minutes before checking or adjusting charge.

NOTE: Adjustment of the refrigerant charge is not required unless
the unit is suspected of not having the proper PuronR (R--410A)
charge.
The charging label and the tables shown refer to system
temperatures and pressures in cooling mode only. A refrigerant

charging label is attached to the inside of the compressor access

panel (see Fig. 19). The chart includes the required liquid line
temperature at given discharge line pressures and outdoor ambient

temperatures.
An accurate thermocouple-- or thermistor--type thermometer, and a

gauge manifold are required when using the subcooling charging
method for evaluating the unit charge. Do not use mercury or small

dial--type thermometers because they are not adequate for this type

of measurement.

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit damage.
When evaluating the refrigerant charge, an indicated

adjustment to the specified factory charge must always be
very minimal. If a substantial adjustment is indicated, an

abnormal condition exists somewhere in the cooling system,
such as insufficient airflow across either coil or both coils.

!

CAUTION

Proceed as follows:

1. Remove caps from low-- and high--pressure service fittings.
2. Using hoses with valve core depressors, attach low-- and

high--pressure gauge hoses to low-- and high--pressure

service fittings, respectively.

3. Start unit in Cooling Mode and let unit run until system

pressures stabilize.

4. Measure and record the following:

a. Outdoor ambient--air temperature (°F (°C) db).

b. Liquid line temperature (°F (°C).

c. Discharge (high--side) pressure (psig).

d. Suction (low--side) pressure (psig) (for reference only).

5. Using “Cooling Charging Charts,” compare outdoor--air

temperature(°F (°C) db) with the discharge line pressure

(psig) to determine desired system operating liquid line
temperature (See Fig. 17).

6. Compare actual liquid line temperature with desired liquid

line temperature. Using a tolerance of ± 2°F (±1.1°C), add

refrigerant if actual temperature is more than 2°F (1.1°C)

higher than proper liquid line temperature, or remove
refrigerant if actual temperature is more than 2°F (1.1°C)

lower than required liquid line temperature.

NOTE: If the problem causing the inaccurate readings is a
refrigerant leak, refer to the Check for Refrigerant Leaks section.

Indoor Airflow and Airflow Adjustments

UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit damage.
For cooling operation, the recommended airflow is 350 to

450 cfm for each 12,000 Btuh of rated cooling capacity. For

heating operation, the airflow must produce a temperature

rise that falls within the range stamped on the unit rating

plate.

CAUTION

!

NOTE: Be sure that all supply--and return--air grilles are open,
free from obstructions, and adjusted properly.
