Need help?Do you have a question about the Unitrol 8000 and is the answer not in the manual?
Identifies the document as relating to Unitrol Process Water Chillers, Models #8000 and #8012.
Unitrol warrants chiller parts free of defects for one year from factory shipment.
Covers warranty labor for 90 days from factory shipment, subject to conditions.
Steps to follow for warranty coverage, including contacting service department.
Details on model number, capacity, serial number, date, refrigerant, and service requirements.
Carefully remove chiller from carton and inspect for external damage before proceeding.
Maintain 36" clearance for air intake/exhaust to ensure proper condenser coil airflow.
Prepare water tank by removing cover and untying water level switch float.
Install 1/4" NPT fittings and connect hoses to the welder using Teflon tape.
Fill the stainless steel tank with tap water to approximately 1 inch below the top.
Connect power cord to a 20A 115V grounded outlet; do not bypass ground pin.
Ensure a water source is available to maintain tank level during initial operation.
Turn control switch ON and monitor water pump and level to prevent dry operation.
Critical warning against operating the pump without sufficient water to prevent damage.
Press the SEL button to display the Set Value (SV) on the temperature controller.
Use UP/DOWN buttons to set desired turn-on temperature; minimum factory set at 55°F.
Press and release SEL button to lock in the new temperature setting.
Simultaneously push and release buttons to briefly show 00, then the current tank temperature.
Compressor activates when tank temp is 3°F above SV; OUT indicator lights up.
Compressor deactivates when tank temp reaches SV; OUT indicator turns off.
Contact Unitrol service for installation issues, providing model and serial numbers.
Faults trigger an alarm, stop the water pump, and stop the refrigeration system.
Monitors water level, floating upward when above minimum, downward when below.
Protects pump and compressor from damage caused by the pump running dry.
Low Freon pressure indicates a potential leak; requires a certified technician.
High Freon pressure can result from dirty air intake filters or condenser coils.
Restricted airflow from dirty filter reduces heat removal, increasing Freon temperature.
Dirt on coil fins impedes heat transfer, leading to elevated Freon temperatures.
Insufficient clearance (<36") restricts airflow, causing overheating and faults.
During extreme heat (>95°F), remove air filter to prevent overheating; replace when cooler.
Consider auxiliary fans or kits for extreme heat or restricted air flow conditions.
Defines abbreviations for components like compressor, relays, pump, and temperature controller.
Specifies wire sizes (GA) and colors used in the electrical connections.
Emphasizes connecting the ground pin on the power cord for safe operation.
Only certified refrigeration technicians should service the sealed refrigeration section.
Inspect and clean evaporator coil fins every 3 months using water or solvent.
Remove cover and clean water tank every 6 months to remove material buildup.
Water pump bearings are sealed and require no periodic oiling or greasing.
Identifies "8000-50" as the reference for the direction book.
Lists part numbers and descriptions for water pump, motor, coupler, and pressure valve.
Lists part numbers and descriptions for controller, relays, switches, fault signal, and filter.
Unitrol sells refrigeration components exclusively to certified refrigeration technicians.
Lists part numbers for compressors and complete condenser assemblies for models 8000/8012.
Lists part numbers for evaporator plates and expansion valves for models 8000/8012.
Lists part numbers for liquid line filter/driers and refrigeration sight glass.
