Instruction manual

Indoor blower-motor speeds may need to be changed for 208-v
operation. Refer to indoor airflow and airflow adjustments section.
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
sheetmetal 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. 21).
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:

LEGEND
FLA — Full Load Amps
LRA — Locked Rotor Amps
MCA — Minimum Circuit Amps
MOCP — Maximum Overcurrent Protection
RLA — Rated Load Amps
NOTES:
1. In compliance with NEC (National Electrical Code) requirements
for multimotor and combination load equipment (refer to NEC
Articles 430 and 440), the overcurrent protective device for the
unit shall be Power Supply fuse. Canadian units may be
fuse or circuit breaker.
2. Minimum wire size is based on 60 C copper wire. If other than
60 C wire is used, or if length exceeds wire length in table,
determine size from NEC.
3. Unbalanced 3-Phase Supply Voltage
Never operate a motor where a phase imbalance in supply volt-
age is greater than 2%.
Use the following formula to determine
the percentage of voltage imbalance.
% Voltage imbalance
max voltage deviation from average voltage
= 100 x
average voltage
EXAMPLE: Supply voltage is 460-3-60.
AB = 452 v
BC = 464 v
AC = 455 v
452 + 464 + 455
Average Voltage =
3
1371
=
3
= 457
Determine maximum deviation from average voltage.
(AB) 457
(BC) 464
(AC) 457
Maximum deviation is 7 v.
Determine percent of voltage imbalance.
7
% Voltage Imbalance = 100 x
457
= 1.53%
This amount of phase imbalance is satisfactory as it is below the
maximum allowable 2%.
IMPORTANT: If the supply voltage phase imbalance is
more than 2%, contact your local electric utility company
immediately.
