5 SERIES 500RO11 INSTALLATION MANUAL
Unit Startup
Before Powering Unit, Check the Following:
NOTE: Remove and discard the compressor hold down
shipping bolt located at the front of the compressor
mounting bracket.
• High voltage is correct and matches nameplate.
• Fuses, breakers and wire size correct.
• Low voltage wiring complete.
• Piping completed and water system cleaned and flushed.
• Air is purged from closed loop system.
• Isolation valves are open, water control valves or loop
pumps wired.
• Condensate line open and correctly pitched.
• Transformer switched to 208V if applicable.
• Dip switches are set correctly.
• Blower rotates freely.
• Blower speed is correct.
• Air filter/cleaner is clean and in position.
• Service/access panels are in place.
• Return air temperature is between 50-80°F heating and
60-95°F cooling.
• Check air coil cleanliness to ensure optimum
performance. Clean as needed according to
maintenance guidelines. To obtain maximum
performance the air coil should be cleaned before
startup. A 10% solution of dishwasher detergent and
water is recommended for both sides of coil, a thorough
water rinse should follow.
Startup Steps
NOTE: Complete the Equipment Start-Up/Commissioning
Check Sheet during this procedure. Refer to thermostat
operating instructions and complete the startup procedure.
Verify that the compressor shipping bolt has been removed.
1. Initiate a control signal to energize the blower motor.
2. Initiate a control signal to place the unit in the
cooling mode. Cooling setpoint must be set below
room temperature.
3. First stage cooling will energize after a time delay.
4. Be sure that the compressor and water control valve or
loop pump(s) are activated.
5. Verify that the water flow rate is correct by measuring
the pressure drop through the heat exchanger using
the P/T plugs and comparing to unit performance data
in catalog.
6. Check the temperature of both the supply and discharge
water (see the Unit Operating Parameters tables).
7. Check for an air temperature drop of 15°F to 25°F
across the air coil, depending on the fan speed and
entering water temperature.
8. Decrease the cooling set point several degrees and
verify high-speed blower operation.
9. Adjust the cooling setpoint above the room temperature
and verify that the compressor and water valve or loop
pumps deactivate.
10. Initiate a control signal to place the unit in the
heating mode. Heating set point must be set above
room temperature.
11. First stage heating will energize after a time delay.
12. Check the temperature of both the supply and discharge
water (see the Unit Operating Parameters tables).
13. Check for an air temperature rise of 12°F to 35°F across
the air coil, depending on the fan speed and entering
water temperature.
14. If auxiliary electric heaters are installed, increase the
heating setpoint until the electric heat banks are
sequenced on. All stages of the auxiliary heater should be
sequenced on when the thermostat is in the Emergency
Heat mode. Check amperage of each element.
15. Adjust the heating setpoint below room temperature
and verify that the compressor and water valve or loop
pumps deactivate.
16. During all testing, check for excessive vibration, noise or
water leaks. Correct or repair as required.
17. Set system to desired normal operating mode and set
temperature to maintain desired comfort level.
18. Instruct the owner/operator in the proper operation of
the thermostat and system maintenance.
NOTE: Be certain to fill out and forward all warranty
registration papers.
