Scroll Compressor Rotation —

It is important to be

certain compressor is rotating in the proper direction. To

determine whether or not compressor is rotating in the proper

direction:

1. Connect service gages to suction and discharge pressure

fittings.

2. Energize the compressor.

3. The suction pressure should drop and the discharge

pressure should rise, as is normal on any start-up.

If the suction pressure does not drop and the discharge

pressure does not rise to normal levels:

1. Turn off power to the unit. Install disconnect tag.

2. Reverse any two of the unit power leads.

3. Reapply power to the unit and verify pressures are correct.

The suction and discharge pressure levels should now move

to their normal start-up levels.

When the compressor is rotating in the wrong direction, the

unit makes more noise and does not provide cooling.

After a few minutes of reverse operation, the scroll com-

pressor internal overload protection will open, thus activating

the unit lockout. This requires a manual reset. To reset, turn the

thermostat on and then off.
NOTE: There is a 5-minute time delay before the compressor

will start.

Unit Start-Up Cooling Mode

1. Adjust the unit thermostat to the warmest position.

Slowly reduce the thermostat position until the compres-

sor activates.

2. Check for cool air delivery at unit grille a few minutes

after the unit has begun to operate.

3. Verify that the compressor is on and that the water flow

rate is correct by measuring pressure drop through the

heat exchanger using P/T plugs. See Table 19. Check the

elevation and cleanliness of the condensate lines; any

dripping could be a sign of a blocked line. Be sure the

condensate trap includes a water seal.

4. Check the temperature of both supply and discharge

water. Compare to Tables 20-23. If temperature is within

range, proceed. If temperature is outside the range, check

the cooling refrigerant pressures in Tables 20-23.

5. Check air temperature drop across the coil when com-

pressor is operating. Air temperature drop should be

between 15 and 25 F.

Unit Start-Up Heating Mode

NOTE: Operate the unit in heating cycle after checking the

cooling cycle. Allow 5 minutes between tests for the pressure

or reversing valve to equalize.

1. Turn thermostat to lowest setting and set thermostat

switch to HEAT position.

2. Slowly turn the thermostat to a higher temperature until

the compressor activates.

3. Check for warm air delivery at the unit grille within a few

minutes after the unit has begun to operate.

4. Check the temperature of both supply and discharge

water. Compare to Tables 20-23. If temperature is within

range, proceed. If temperature is outside the range, check

the heating refrigerant pressures in Tables 20-23.

5. Once the unit has begun to run, check for warm air deliv-

ery at the unit grille.

6. Check air temperature rise across the coil when compres-

sor is operating. Air temperature rise should be between

20 and 30 F after 15 minutes at load.

7. Check for vibration, noise and water leaks.
