EasyStart is a low cost soluon to expensive generator replacements and costly
service upgrades. EasyStart reduces peak starng current by up to 75% and controls
power throughout the start. Compressors start smoother, and the power source
work load is lighter with EasyStart.
IMPORTANT: This equipment contains potenal dangerous or lethal AC voltages. Appropriate safety pre-
cauons and measures must be used when servicing and installing equipment.
Installaon Summary (Detailed instrucons available at Micro-Air.net. See boom of page):
Diagram A above shows a typical compressor installaon. Diagram B (364 and 368) and Diagram C (366) above shows the standard connecons that are made
following a completed EasyStart installaon. Follow the steps below to install EasyStart.
1. Idenfy and remove any exisng compressor start components labeled oponal factory hard start in diagram A. [See Note 1]
Note 1: Some compressors do not have factory hard start devices.
2. Most compressors and wiring diagrams are labeled with compressor “R”, “C”, and “S” terminals as shown in diagram A. Idenfy the wire connecng to the
run capacitor from the “R” terminal of the compressor. Remove the wire from the run capacitor (or contactor on larger compressors) and splice the Brown wire
from EasyStart to it.
3. Connect the white wire (shown as light blue above) from EasyStart to the open run capacitor terminal from step 2. [See Note 2]
Note 2: Terminals on run capacitors are not rated to handle currents from large compressors.
Compressors over 36000BTU (3 tons) should connect the white L2 wire from EasyStart directly to the compressor contactor.
4. Splice the black wire from EasyStart into the switched power lead from thermostat relay or contactor that connects to the compressor overload (O.L.).
5. Connect the orange wire from EasyStart to the run capacitor Herm terminal. There will be an available terminal le over from step 1 when the original start
circuit was removed in most cases.
6. Start EasyStart 5 mes from a ulity AC power source before starng on a generator or inverter to allow EasyStart to learn the compressor. [See Note 3]
Note 3: An internal cycle mer prevents restarts for ve minutes aer shutdown.
