REFRIGERANT
UNIT
OPERATION,
SAFETY
AND
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or equipment damage.
This system uses Puron (R--410A) refrigerant which has
higher operating pressures than R--22 and other refrigerants.
No other refrigerant may be used in this system. Gauge set,
hoses, and recovery system must be designed to handle
Puron. If you are unsure, consult the equipment
manufacturer.
WARNING
!
COMPRESSOR OIL
If additional oil is needed, use Uniqema RL32--3MAF. If this oil is
not available, use Copeland Ultra 32 CC or Mobil Arctic EAL22
CC. This oil is extremely hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs water
readily. POE oils can absorb 15 times as much water as other oils
designed for HCFC and CFC refrigerants. Take all necessary
precautions to avoid exposure of the oil to the atmosphere.
SERVICING SYSTEMS ON ROOFS WITH SYNTHETIC
MATERIALS
POE (polyolester) compressor lubricants are known to cause long
term damage to some synthetic roofing materials.
Exposure, even if immediately cleaned up, may cause
embrittlement (leading to cracking) to occur in one year or more.
When performing any service that may risk exposure of
compressor oil to the roof, take appropriate precautions to protect
roofing. Procedures which risk oil leakage include, but are not
limited to, compressor replacement, repairing refrigerant leaks, and
replacing refrigerant components such as filter drier, pressure
switch, metering device, coil, accumulator, or reversing valve.
Synthetic Roof Precautionary Procedure
1. Cover extended roof working area with an impermeable
polyethylene (plastic) drip cloth or tarp. Cover an
approximate 10x10 ft (3x3 m) area.
2. Cover area in front of the unit service panel with a terry
cloth shop towel to absorb lubricant spills and prevent
run--offs, and protect drop cloth from tears caused by tools
or components.
3. Place terry cloth shop towel inside unit immediately under
component(s) to be serviced and prevent lubricant run--offs
through the louvered openings in the unit base.
4. Perform required service.
5. Remove and dispose of any oil--contaminated material per
local codes.
LIQUID--LINE BI--FLOW FILTER DRIER
The bi--flow filter drier is specifically designed to operate with
Puron. Use only factory--authorized components. Filter drier must
be replaced whenever the refrigerant system is opened. When
removing a filter drier, use a tubing cutter to cut the drier from the
system. Do not unsweat a filter drier from the system. Heat from
unsweating will release moisture and contaminants from drier into
system.
PURON (R--410A) REFRIGERANT CHARGING
Refer to unit information plate and charging chart.
Some R--410A
refrigerant cylinders contain a dip tube to allow liquid
refrigerant to flow from cylinder in upright position.
For
cylinders equipped with a dip tube, charge Puron units with
cylinder in upright position and a commercial metering device in
manifold hose. Charge refrigerant into suction line.
TROUBLESHOOTING
LED DESCRIPTION
LEDs built into Evolution control boards provide installer or
service person information concerning operation and/or fault
condition of the unit controls and ECM motor. This information is
also available at the system UI in text with basic troubleshooting
instructions. Careful use of information displayed will reduce the
need for extensive manual troubleshooting. See section B in
Start--Up and Troubleshooting and Table 4, as well as the UI
instructions,
for
additional
information.
Additional
Troubleshooting information can be found in Tables 9--11.
MAJOR COMPONENTS
2--STAGE HP/AC BOARD
The two--stage HP/AC control board controls the following
functions:
-- Low-- and high--stage compressor operation
-- Outdoor fan motor operation
-- Reversing valve operation
-- Defrost operation
-- Low ambient cooling
-- Crankcase heater operation
-- Compressor external protection
-- Pressure switch monitoring (refrigerant)
-- Time delays
FURNACE BOARD
The furnace board controls the following functions:
-- Indoor blower operation
-- Gas valve
-- Inducer motor
-- Remote sparker module
-- Pressure switch monitoring (gas)
SYSTEMS COMMUNICATION FAILURE
If communication with the Evolution Control is lost with the UI,
the controls will flash the appropriate fault codes. Check the wiring
to the UI, indoor and outdoor units.
MODEL PLUG
The HP/AC control board must have a valid model plug to operate.
If a valid model plug is not detected, it will not operate and the
control will flash the appropriate fault code, shown in Table 4.
PRESSURE SWITCH PROTECTION--REFRIGERANT
The unit is equipped with high-- and low--pressure switches. If the
control senses the opening of a high-- or low--pressure switch, it
will respond as follows:
1. De--energize the compressor contactor (HPS1 & LPS) or the
compressor solenoid contactor (HPS2).
2. Keep the outdoor fan operating for 15 minutes.
3. Display the appropriate fault codes.
4. After a 15 minute delay, if there is still a call for cooling and
the LPS or HPS is reset, the compressor contactor is
energized.
5. If LPS or HPS has not closed after a 15 minute delay, the
outdoor fan is turned off. If the open switch closes anytime
after the 15--minute delay, then resume operation with a call
for cooling.
6. If LPS or HPS trips 3 consecutive cycles, the unit operation
is locked out for 4 hours.
7. In the event of a high--pressure switch trip or high pressure
lockout, check the refrigerant charge, outdoor fan operation
and outdoor coil for airflow restrictions.
8. In the event of a low--pressure switch trip or low pressure
lockout, check the refrigerant charge and indoor airflow.
