Determine if both R and C module terminals are connected. Verify voltage in present at module’s R
and C terminals.
NOTE: The
CADM
requires a constant nominal
24VAC
power supply. The wiring to the module’s R
and C terminals must be directly from the control transformer. The module cannot receive its

from another
device that will interrupt the
24VAC
power supply. See the
38AU
Wiring Diagram(s) (Fig. 30 and Fig. 31).

Compressor Protection
Compressor Overtemperature Protection (IP) — A thermostat installed on the compressor motor winding
reacts to excessively high winding temperatures and shuts off the compressor.
Crankcase Heater — The heater minimizes absorption of liquid refrigerant by oil in the crankcase during brief or
extended shutdown periods. The heater is wired to cycle with the compressor; the heater is off when compressor is
running, and on when compressor is off. The crankcase heater will operate as long as the power circuit is energized.
The main disconnect must be on to energize the crankcase heater.
Advanced Scroll Temperature Protection (ASTP) — See “Advanced Scroll Temperature Protection (ASTP)”
Low-Pressure Switch — The 38AUM low-pressure switch is stem-mounted on the suction line. Switches are all fixed,
non-adjustable type.
High--Pressure Switch — The high--pressure switch is stem mounted on the discharge line. The switch is a fixed,
non-adjustable type.
Outdoor Fans — Each fan is supported by a formed-wire mount bolted to the fan deck and covered with a wire guard.
Fan motors have permanently lubricated bearings.
1. Shut off unit power supply. Install lockout tag.
2. Remove outdoor fan assembly (grille, motor, and fan).
3. Loosen fan hub setscrews.
4. Adjust fan height.
5. Tighten setscrews to 84 in-lbs (949 N-cm).
6. Replace outdoor fan assembly.
Fig: - Outdoor Fan Blade Position
IMPORTANT: Never open any switch or disconnect that energizes the crankcase heater unless
unit is being serviced or is to be shut down for a prolonged period. After a prolonged shutdown
on a service job, energize the crankcase heater for 24 hours before starting the compressor.
