Wind baffles are required to prevent wind cross currents
from causing abnorma lly low condensing temperatures.
Use 20--gauge sheet metal to fabricate wind baffles (see
Fig. 28 and Table 11).
Operation —
Fan on/off cont rol in cooling--only units is provided by an
outdoor fan relay (OFR).
In cooling mode, fan motor speed of outdoor motors
OFM1 and OFM3 is regulated by the speed control
temperature sensor on outdoor coil 1 for a minimum coil
condensing temperature of approximately 100_F(38_C)
at higher outdoor ambient tempera ture and 80_F(27_C) at
lower ambient. Additionally, outdoor fan mot or OFM2
and OFM4 are turned on/off by the low ambient
temperature switch, LAS, operating the low ambient relay
(LAR). The LAS control temperatures are open 42_F+/--
5_F, close 57_F+/--5_F (open 5.5_C+/--2.8_C, c lose
13.9_C+/--2.8_C).
To override the speed control for full fan speed operation
during service or maintenance, either:
a. remove sensor and place in hot water >120_F
(>49_C), or
b. rewire to bypass control by connecting speed
control input a nd output power wires.
Troubleshooting —
OBSERVATION POSSIBLE REMEDY
Fans won’t start All fans:
Check power & wiring
Check outdoor fan relay (OFR)
OFM1, OFM3 only:
Check speed control sensor locat ion
Check speed sensor resistance
OFM2, OFM4 only:
Check low ambient switch (LAS)
Check low ambient relay (LAR)
Cooling --- Center outdoor
fans (OFM2, OFM4) off
below approximately 60_F
(16_C) outdoor ambient.
Normal operation
Cooling --- Center outdoor
fans (OFM2, OFM4) not on
above approximately 60_F
(16_C) outdoor ambient
Check low ambient switch (LAS)
Check low ambient relay (LAR)
Cooling --- Slow fan speed
for outer fans (OFM1,
OFM3) at start or during
low outdoor ambient
Normal operation
Cooling --- Slow fan speed
for outer fans (OFM1,
OFM3) above 85_F(29_F)
outdoor ambient (should
be full speed)
Check speed control sensor locat ion
Check speed control sensor
resistance
Check fan mo tor capacitor
Cooling --- motor current
into speed control is
greater than motor name-
plate FLA
Normal operation
Up to 30% higher A at partial speed
at low ambient
