1. THE DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN ON THE THERMOSTAT OR OUTDOOR CONTROL 7-SEGMENT DISPLAY WILL SHOW INDOOR AND
OUTDOOR MOTOR CFMS OR RPMS.
2. MEASURE OUTDOOR AMBIENT TEMPERATURE.
3. CONNECT GAUGE SET.
4. CHECK LIQUID AND VAPOR LINE PRESSURES. COMPARE PRESSURES WITH COOLING MODE NORMAL OPERATING
PRESSURES IN THE APPLICABLE CHARGING STICKER, NORMAL OPERATING PRESSURES AT MAXIMUM CAPACITY.
NOTE
-
THE REFERENCE TABLE IS A GENERAL GUIDE. EXPECT MINOR PRESSURE VARIATIONS. SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCES MAY MEAN IMPROPER CHARGE OR OTHER SYSTEM PROBLEM.
5. SET THERMOSTAT FOR HEAT/COOL DEMAND, DEPENDING ON MODE BEING USED:
USING COOLING MODE — WHEN THE OUTDOOR AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS 60°F (15°C) AND ABOVE. TARGET
SUBCOOLING VALUES (MAXIMUM / 100% CAPACITY) IN APPLICABLE CHARGING STICKER ARE BASED ON 70 TO
80°F (21-27°C) INDOOR RETURN AIR TEMPERATURE; IF NECESSARY, OPERATE HEATING TO REACH THAT
TEMPERATURE RANGE; THEN SET THE INITIAL COOLING DEMAND AT MAXIMUM CAPACITY. THE PREFERRED METHOD IS
TO USE THE “CHARGE MODE” JUMPER ON THE OUTDOOR CONTROL. SEE CHARGE MODE JUMPER SECTION ON PAGE 80.
WHEN PRESSURES HAVE STABILIZED, CONTINUE WITH STEP 6.
6. READ THE LIQUID LINE TEMPERATURE; RECORD IN THE LIQº SPACE.
7. READ THE LIQUID LINE PRESSURE; THEN FIND ITS CORRESPONDING TEMPERATURE IN THE TEMPERATURE/ PRESSURE
CHART LISTED IN THE APPLICABLE CHARGING STICKER AND RECORD IT IN THE SATº SPACE.
8. SUBTRACT LIQº TEMPERATURE FROM SATº TEMPERATURE TO DETERMINE SUBCOOLING; RECORD IT IN SCº SPACE.
9. COMPARE SCº RESULTS WITH APPLICABLE CHARGING STICKER, BEING SURE TO NOTE ANY ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR
LINE SET AND/OR MATCH-UP.
10.IF SUBCOOLING VALUE IS GREATER THAN SHOWN IN APPLICABLE CHARGING STICKER FOR THE APPLICABLE UNIT,
REMOVE REFRIGERANT; IF LESS THAN SHOWN, ADD REFRIGERANT.
11. IF REFRIGERANT IS ADDED OR REMOVED, REPEAT STEPS 6 THROUGH 10 TO VERIFY CHARGE.
12.DISCONNECT GAUGE SET AND RE-INSTALL BOTH THE LIQUID AND SUCTION SERVICE VALVE CAPS.
