stylus has made contact with chart. Then close door.
f.
Open control box door. Check for loose electrical
connections or hardware.
g. Check color of moisture-liquid indicator.
h. Check oil level in compressor sight glass.
i.

2.4 UNIT OPERATION
2.4.1 Crankcase Heater
Whenever the crankcase heater is installed,
it will be operational whenever the
compressor is off and their is power to the
unit. The heater is connected to a set of
normally closed auxillary contacts on the
compressor contactor.
2.4.2 Cooling --- Controller Set BELOW ---10
_
C (+14
_
F)
or ---5
_
C (+23
_
F) optionally
NOTES
1. The suction solenoid valve (SSV) will be open
to increase the refrigerant flow rate and
cooling capacity unless SSV override is
activated.
2. In the frozen range the suction modulation
valve is 100% open.
3. Setting the controller below ---10
_
C (+14
_
F)
or ---5
_
C (+23
_
F) optionally on units with
two-speed motors will place the motors in low
speed (contactor ES energized).
When the return air temperature decreases to 0.2
_
C
(0.4
_
F) below set point, relays TC and TN de-energizes.
This results in de-energizing the compressor and condenser
fan motor. Also, the cool light is de-energized. The
