PRE − START − UP
FIRE, EXPLOSION, ELECTRICAL AND
ENVIRONMENTAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury,
death or property damage.
1. Follow recognized safety practices and wear
protective goggles when checking or servicing
refrigerant system.
2. Relieve and recover all refrigerant from system before
touching or disturbing compressor plug if refrigerant
leak is suspected around compressor terminals.
3. Do not remove compressor plug until all electrical
sources are disconnected and tagged.
4. Never attempt to repair soldered connection while
refrigerant system is under pressure.
5. Do not use torch to remove any component. System
contains oil and refrigerant under pressure.
To remove a component, wear protective goggles and
proceed as follows:
a. Shut off electrical power to unit and install lockout
tag.
b. Relieve and reclaim all refrigerant from system
using both high − and low − pressure ports.
c. Cut component connecting tubing with tubing
cutter and remove component from unit.
d. Carefully unsweat remaining tubing stubs when
necessary. Oil can ignite when exposed to torch
flame.
!
WARNING
Use the Start − Up Checklist supplied at the end of this book and
proceed as follows to inspect and prepare the unit for initial
start − up:
1. Remove all access panels (see FIGURE 16).
2. Read and follow instructions on all DANGER, WARNING,
CAUTION, and INFORMATION labels attached to, or
shipped with, unit.
3. Make the following inspections:
a. Inspect for shipping and handling damages such as
broken lines, loose parts, disconnected wires, etc.
b. Inspect for oil at all refrigerant tubing connections and
on unit base. Detecting oil generally indicates a
refrigerant leak. Leak − test all refrigerant tubing
connections using electronic leak detector, or
liquid − soap solution. If a refrigerant leak is detected,
see following Check for Refrigerant Leaks section.
c. Inspect all field and factory − wiring connections. Be
sure that connections are completed and tight. Ensure
wires do not touch refrigerant tubing or sharp sheet
metal edges.
d. Inspect coil fins. If damaged during shipping and
handling, carefully straighten fins with a fin comb.
4. Verify the following conditions:
a. Make sure that outdoor − fan blade is correctly
positioned in fan orifice.
b. Make sure that air filter(s) is in place.
c. Make sure that condensate drain pan and trap are
filled with water to ensure proper drainage.
d. Make sure that all tools and miscellaneous loose parts
have been removed.
5. Each unit system has 2 Schrader − type ports, one
low − side Schrader fitting located on the suction line, and
one high − side Schrader fitting located on the compressor
discharge line. Be sure that caps on the ports are tight.
START − UP
Checking Cooling and Heating Control Operation
Start and check the unit for proper control operation as follows:
(1.) Place room thermostat SYSTEM switch or MODE
control in OFF position. Observe that blower motor
starts when FAN mode is placed in FAN ON
position and shuts down when FAN MODE switch
is placed in AUTO position.
(2.) Place SYSTEM switch in cool mode. Lower
setpoint to call for cooling. Observe that
compressor, indoor and outdoor fans start and
deliver cooling.
(3.) Place SYSTEM switch or MODE control in HEAT
position. Set control above room temperature.
Observe that compressor, outdoor fan, and indoor
blower motors start. Observe that heating cycle
shuts down when control setting is satisfied.
NOTE : Once the compressor has started and then has stopped,
it should not be started again until 5 minutes have elapsed. The
defrost board has a built
− in 5 minute delay between cycles. The
5 minute compressor delay also applies to heat pump heating
mode.
Step 1 — Check for Refrigerant Leaks
Proceed as follows to locate and repair a refrigerant leak and to
charge the unit:
1. Locate leak and make sure that refrigerant system
pressure has been relieved and reclaimed from both high −
and low − pressure ports.
2. Repair leak following Refrigerant Service procedures.
NOTE : Install a bi − flow filter drier whenever the system has been
opened for repair.
3. Add a small charge of R − 410A refrigerant vapor to system
and leak − test unit.
4. Recover refrigerant from refrigerant system and evacuate
to 500 microns if no additional leaks are not found.
5. Charge unit with R − 410A refrigerant, using an electronic
scale. Refer to unit rating plate for required charge.
Step 2 — Start − Up Adjustments
Complete the required procedures given in the Pre − Start − Up
section before starting the unit. Do not jumper any safety devices
when operating the unit. Do not operate the unit in Cooling mode
when the outdoor temperature is below 40 F (4 C) (unless
accessory low − ambient kit is installed).
IMPORTANT : Three − phase, scroll compressors are direction
oriented. Unit must be checked to ensure proper compressor
3 − phase power lead orientation. If not corrected within 5
minutes, the internal protector will shut off the compressor. The
3
− phase power leads to the unit must be reversed to correct
rotation. When turning backwards, the difference between
compressor suction and discharge pressures may be minimal
