Maintenance and Operation 

NOTICE

Refrigerant Piping:

 A qualified Architect or Systems HVAC Design 

Engineer familiar with refrigerant piping design, as well as local codes 

and regulations, must provide refrigerant piping design. The following 

manufacturer recommendations serve as a general guide and should not 

replace a qualified professional’s refrigerant piping system design.

NOTICE

Chilled Water Piping

: A qualified Architect or Systems HVAC  Design 

Engineer familiar with piping design, local codes and  regulations, must 

provide piping design. The following  manufacturer recommendations serve 

as a general guide and  should not replace a qualified professional’s piping 

system  design.

• 

All access panels must be in place when unit is in 

operation . 

• 

For maximum efficiency, the condenser coil must be 

kept clean. Periodic inspections, depending on local 

conditions are recommended. If it is necessary to clean 

the condenser coil, use a common garden hose. 

• 

Never operate the unit without filters installed in the air 

handler. 

Crankcase Heaters 

All units are equipped with crankcase heaters that are factory 

wired to operate whenever the main power supply to the 

unit is “ON” and compressors are “OFF”. Before starting the 

equipment after prolonged shutdown or at the time of initial 

start-up, be sure that the circuits to the condensing units are 

closed for at least 24 hours. 

Contactor 

The contactor is an electrical switch which operates the 

compressor and condenser fans. Relay activates contactor 

when safety circuit is made. 

High Pressure Switch (HPC) 

Opens the contactor circuit on high refrigerant pressure - 

Manual Reset - check for cause of tripping before putting unit 

back in service. 

 WARNING

Do not wire around the high pressure switch. 15 ton unit compressors 

are not provided with internal pressure relief means. Failure to follow this 

warning can cause an explosion resulting in personal injury or death.  

Low Pressure Switch (LPC) 

Acts as safety against loss of refrigerant. 

Relay (R) 

Energizes the compressor contactor when safety circuit is made.
