OPERATING SEQUENCE
Base Unit Controls
Indoor (Supply) Fan
The indoor fan contactor (IFC) is remotely located at the fan
coil or fan sectio n. If the thermo s tat fan op eratio n is selected
as Continuous, the IFC is energized and the indoor (supply)
fan motor runs continuously. If the thermostat fan operation
is selected as A u tomatic, the IFC will be ener g ized on a call
for Cooling; indoor (supply) fan motor runs. When
thermostat call for Cooling is satis f ied, the IFC is
de-ener gized and indoor (supply) fan motor stops.
Cooling, Unit Without Economizer
On a thermostat call for Cooling, IFC will be energized
and indoor (supply) fan motor runs. Thermostat output Y1
is energized; terminal Y1 at 38AUZ unit receives 24-v.
24-v received at CADM1 terminal Y. If anti-recycle time
delay period has not expired, CADM1 relay will remain
open, de-energizing Solenoid Valve Relay (SVR) and
preventing compressor start. When safety pressure
switches are closed and CADM1 time delay expires,
CADM1 relay closes, SVR and compressor contactor C1
are energized; Compressor Relay Timer (CTR) is closed
and Digital Cycle Timer (CTD) is energized commanding
Digital Compressor Solenoid (DCS) on, liquid line
solenoid valve LLSV opens, al l outdoor fan m otors start
and Compressor starts part load operation.
On thermostat call for Stage 2 Cooling, thermostat output
Y2 is energized CTR receives 24--v at terminal 1 changing
conta cts to open. CTD is de--energized and commands
DCS off, Compressor operates at full load.
As space cooling load is satisfied, thermostat outputs Y2 and
Y1 are sequentially de--energized, removing 24--v at 38AU Z
terminals Y1 and Y2. Compressor resumes part load
operation on Y2 opening. On Y1 opening, Compressor 1
stops, all outdoor fan motors stop and SVR is de--ener gized.
Liquid Line solenoid valve is de--ener gized and valve closes.
CADM1 begins its three--minute anti--recycle time delay.
If either the Low Pressure Switch or High Pressure Switch
opens while thermostat output Y1 or Y2 re main energized,
the compressor contactor is de-energized, the compressor
stops and liquid line solenoid is de-energized (valve
closes). CADM initiates a TRIP event (cooling demand
sensed at CADM terminal Y but no current is measured at
T1, T2, T3 motor sensors); CADM relay opens and RED
LED is illuminated. TRIP condition m aintains lockout of
compressor operation until CADM is manually reset.
Reset CADM by cycling unit main power.
Complete system shutdown ma y be caused by loss of
main power, open compressor internal overload, open
low-pressure or high-pressure swit ch, or a fault detected
by the CADM logic. Compressor operation without
cooling may indicate the compressor’s ASTP feature is
act ive; disconnect unit power and al low compressor to
cool. See Service section for further details.
Cooling, Unit With Economizer
Refer to fan coil unit installation instructions and
economizer accessory installation instructions for
operat ing sequences when system is equipped with
accessory economizer.
Heating
Refer to fan coil unit installation instru ction s and access o r y
heating device installation instructio ns for operating
sequences in heating mode.
ROUTINE SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
These items should be part of a routine maintenance
prog r am, to be checked every month or two, un til a specific
sched u le for each can be identified f or this installation:
Quarterly Inspection (and 30 days after initial start)
Indoor secti on
S Condenser coil cleanliness checked.
S Return air filter replacement
S Outdoor hood inlet filters cleaned
S Belt tension checked
S Belt condition checked
S Pulley alignment checked
S Fan shaft bearing locking collar tightness checked
S Condensate drain checked
Seasonal Maintenance
These items should be checked at the beginning of each
season (or more often if local conditions and usage patterns
dictate):
Air Conditioning
S Condenser fan motor mounting bolts tightness
S Compressor mounting bolts
S Condenser fan blade positioning
S Control box cleanliness and wiring condition
S Wire terminal tightness
S Refrigerant charge level
S Evaporator coil cleaning
S Evaporator blower motor amperage
Heating
S Power wire connections
S Fuses ready
S Manual-reset limit switch is closed
Economizer or Outside Air Damper
S Inlet filters condition
S Check damper travel (economizer)
S Check gear and dampers for debris and dirt
