SYSTEM START-UP
ENERGIZE CRANKCASE HEATER
This unit is equipped with crankcase heaters for both the lead
and follower compressors. The operation of the crankcase
heater is monitored by means of the control board.
CAUTION: An attempt to start the compressor without at least
8 hours of crankcase heat will damage the com-
pressor.
A warning label with an adhesive back is supplied in the unit
installation instruction packet. This label should be attached to
the field supplied disconnect switch where it will be easily seen.
See below.
In order to energize the crankcase heater:
- Set indoor two stage cooling thermostat to "OFF" position.
- Close the line power disconnect to the unit.
CHECKING SYSTEM CHARGE
The factory charge in the outdoor unit is listed in the Table 5 as
well as unit nameplate and includes enough charge for the unit
and the corresponding indoor evaporator coil. This unit in-
cludes sufficient charge for 15 feet of line sets. Table 6 lists the
refrigerant line charges for additional lengths.
CAUTION:
REFRIGERANT CHARGING SHOULD ONLY BE
CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED AIR CONDI-
TIONING CONTRACTOR.
In order to check whether the unit has the required charge in
the system, follow the procedure described below.
WARNING:DO NOT VENT REFRIGERANT TO THE ATMOS-
PHERE. IT IS NECESSARY TO RECOVER THE
REFRIGERANT DURING ANY REPAIR OR IN-
STALLATION OF THE SYSTEM.
1. Set room thermostat at desired temperature. The thermo-
stat may be energized at first (Y1) stage or second (Y2)
stage. If only the first stage (Y1) is energized, only the lead
compressor will be in operation. Both the compressors will
be in operation if the second stage of thermostat (Y2) is
energized.
Set room thermostat at "COOL" position and fan switch at
"AUTO" or "FAN" position. There is a five minute delay
when the "system control board" is powered for the first
time. Refer to "System Functions" for more information
about time delays.
2. Operate the unit for a minimum of 15-20 minutes before
checking the charge.
3. Verify the desired indoor air handler air flow (CFM).
4. The system charge should be varified with only the lead
compressor running, however it can be also checked with
both the compressors running at the same time at the rated
indoor air handler air flow. However, it is required to estab-
lish the subcooling level at any one condition i.e. either with
the lead compressor running or when both (the lead and
follower) compressors are running.Recommended sub-
cooling temperature is listed in Table 3.
