Overview

This document provides a quick start guide for the Greenheck Models RV and RVE, focusing on initial unit startup procedures for fans, energy wheels, cooling, and heating components. It emphasizes that this guide supplements, but does not replace, the full Installation, Operation, and Maintenance (IOM) manual, which should be consulted for all safety information and precautions. Pre-start checks and blower startup are prerequisites to following this procedure.

Fan Operation and Maintenance:

The guide outlines initial steps for fan setup, including verifying the discharge air sensor installation, ensuring proper phasing of incoming power (referencing Figure 1 for phase monitor indicator lights diagnostics and Figure 2 for a typical phase monitor), and energizing the unit's supply and optional exhaust fan by connecting terminals R to G, W1, Y1, and Y2 as applicable.

For blower operation, users must check rotation and reverse it if necessary by disconnecting and locking out power, then interchanging any two power leads to the motor. Motor amp draw must be checked against the motor nameplate FLA and recorded in a "Start-up Report." If the amp draw exceeds FLA, airflow should be reduced, and any changes made must be recorded. Excessive noise and vibration should be investigated by checking fasteners between the motor and impeller, motor and frame, frame and unit block-off, and ensuring they are tight. Contact between the impeller and inlet cone must also be checked.

Energy Wheel (If Present):

For units equipped with an energy wheel, the guide instructs users to verify its rotation direction (noting that speed may vary by wheel model) and check its motor amp draw against the motor nameplate FLA, recording the reading in the "Start-up Report."

Cooling System (Requires minimum 55°F outdoor air temperature):

The cooling section provides a detailed, step-by-step process for each refrigeration circuit.

  1. Manifold Gauge Set Installation: A refrigeration manifold gauge set must be placed on each circuit, utilizing the liquid line service valve for the high side connection.
  2. Carel Controller Access: The program key on the Carel controller is pressed, followed by navigating through "Ctrl Variables," "Advanced," and "Login" menus using the enter key.
  3. Password Entry: The password "9998" is entered. To do this, press enter when first entering the Login screen. The cursor moves under the first digit, allowing adjustment with up/down keys. Press enter to move to the next digit, repeating until all four digits are correct, then press enter one last time.
  4. Manual Overrides: After successful login, the controller should return to the "Advanced" menu (or use the back button if needed). Navigate to "Manual Overrides" and press enter.
  5. Enable Duration: In the "Manual Overrides" menu, scroll to "Manual Override Mode" and check the "Enable Duration" box. Press enter when the cursor is over the box, use up/down to place an "X," then press enter again to select the duration for "Override Mode" (which can be changed but is not necessary). Press enter again to deselect.
  6. Unit On/Off: Scroll to "Unit On Off" in "Manual Overrides," press enter, and change the "Override" option to "Manual" and the "Value" option to "On." Press enter again to deselect "Value."
  7. Cooling Ramp 1: Scroll to "Cooling Ramp 1" in "Manual Overrides" (caution: do not use compressor override screens). Set the "Override" option to "Manual" and the "Demand" option to "100%."
  8. Hot Gas Reheat (If Present): If hot gas reheat is present, scroll to "Hot Gas Reheat Ramp" in "Manual Overrides," and set "Override" to "Manual" and "Value" to "0%."
  9. Condensing Coil Restriction: Restrict the condensing coil until the high side pressure reaches 450 psig, not exceeding 525 psig.

Refrigeration Values for Air Cooled Condensing Systems (Figure 3):

The guide provides a table of target refrigeration values:

  • Operating Pressure: 107-145 PSI (Target: 125 PSI)
  • Discharge Pressure: 250-460 PSI (Target: 375 PSI)
  • Liquid Pressure: Within 15 PSI of discharge (Target: 365 PSI)
  • Superheat: 10-18°F (Target: 12°F)
  • Compressor Discharge Temp.: 120-180°F (Target: 135°F)
  • Subcooling: 8-20°F (Target: 15°F)
  • Cond Air: In: 55-95°F
  • Cond Air: Out: 25-60°F (Target: 20°F Delta T)

Cooling System Continued:

  1. Condensing Fan Operation: Verify operation and rotation of all condensing fans, ensuring blades do not contact the guard. Check fan amperage while running and ensure it is below FLA; contact Greenheck technical support if not.
  2. System Stabilization: Allow the cooling system to run unimpeded for 10-15 minutes to stabilize.
  3. Circuit A Subcooling: Measure Circuit A's subcooling (target 10-12°F) and record in the "Start-up Report." Add refrigerant if below 10°F (and sight glass is not clear); remove refrigerant if above 12°F.
  4. Circuit A Superheat: Measure Circuit A's superheat (target 7-9°F) and record in the "Start-up Report." Adjust the TXV clockwise if below 7°F, and counter-clockwise if above 9°F.
  5. Hot Gas Reheat (If Equipped): If the circuit has hot gas reheat, change the reheat percentage to 100% for 5 minutes (referencing step 15).
  6. Circuit Subcooling (Reheat): Measure the circuit subcooling (target 10-12°F) and record in the "Start-up Report." Add refrigerant if below 10°F (and sight glass is not clear); remove refrigerant if above 12°F.
  7. Circuit Superheat (Reheat): Measure the circuit superheat (target 7-9°F) and record in the "Start-up Report." Adjust the TXV clockwise if below 7°F, and counter-clockwise if above 9°F.
  8. Reheat Percentage Adjustment: Change the reheat percentage to 0% and repeat steps 18-20.
  9. Compressor Amp Draw: Measure and record the compressor amp draw, comparing it to the nameplate FLA, and record in the "Start-up Report."

Heating Start Up (If heating components are present):

  1. Carel Controller Access: Press the program key, navigate to "Ctrl Variables," "Advanced," and "Login."
  2. Password Entry: Enter "9998" as the password for service level access. The controller should then automatically exit the login screen.
  3. Manual Overrides: Scroll down and enter the "Manual Overrides" menu.
  4. Furnace Commissioning Prompt: Press the down key once, and the controller will prompt to press enter to begin IG furnace commissioning.
  5. Enter Commissioning: Press enter on this screen to enter furnace commissioning.

Furnace Commissioning:

  1. Adjust Outlet Pressure (Combination Valve):
    • Connect a manometer to the outlet pressure tap on the combination valve (Figure 4).
    • Adjust the outlet pressure using the outlet pressure adjustment screw (Figure 4).
  2. Adjust High Fire Setting (Modulating Valve):
    • Connect a manometer to the test port on the burner manifold.
    • Press and hold button #1 until the LED on the modulating valve lights solid red. Release the button and observe the pressure on the manometer (Figure 5).
    • Adjust the modulating valve by pushing button #1 to increase pressure and button #2 to decrease pressure (Figures 5 & 6).
    • Save the High Fire setting by simultaneously pressing button #1 and #2 until the LED turns off.
  3. Adjust Low Fire Setting (Mod Valve):
    • Press and hold button #2 until the LED blinks RED. Release the button and observe the pressure on the manometer (Figure 5).
    • Adjust the low fire setting by pushing button #1 to increase or button #2 to decrease pressure (Figures 5 & 6).
    • Save the Low Fire setting by simultaneously pressing button #1 and #2 until the LED turns off.
  4. Repeat for High Turndown Furnaces: Repeat steps 2 and 3 for high turndown furnaces.
  5. Verify Furnace Operation: Continue through the commissioning menu to verify proper furnace operation.

  • Natural Gas: 5 in. wg
  • LP Gas: 11.5 in. wg

High Fire Settings:

  • Natural Gas: 3.5 in. wg
  • LP Gas: 10.0 in. wg
