JOHNSON CONTROLS

Grounding

Verify that the unit’s protective terminal(s) are properly 

connected to a suitable grounding point. Ensure that all 

unit internal ground connections are tight.

Overloads

Ensure that the fan overloads settings are correct for the 

type of fan fitted.

Supply Voltage

Verify that the site voltage supply corresponds to the 

unit requirement and is within limits.  

Reference the 

Technical Data Section in the IOM.

Control Transformer

The 3-wire control transformer is mounted external to 

the panel. It is important to check that the correct primary 

tapping has been used:

With the supply voltage to the unit turned off, remove 

the lid to the transformer box.

Check that the tapping used conforms to the site supply 

voltage. After the tapping is verified, replace the lid.

Switch Settings

Ensure that the unit ON/OFF switch on the display door 

and the micro board system switches S2 through S5 are 

set to “0” (OFF). Set the red handled emergency stop 

device on the options panel to “1” (ON). For units fitted 

with door interlocked circuit breakers the power panel 

doors must be closed and the devices set to “1” (ON). 

The customer’s power disconnection devices can now 

be set to ON.

The machine is now live!

The unit is fitted with an under voltage circuit in each 

panel and it may take between 5 to 10 seconds for its 

contacts to close and energize the unit’s electronics, 

including the display on the main panel.

Compressor Heaters

Verify  the  compressor  heaters  are  energized.  If 

the  ambient  temperature  is  above  96°F  (36°C)  the 

compressor heaters must be on for at least 8 hours before 

start-up to ensure all refrigerant liquid is driven out of 

the compressor. If the ambient temperature is below 

86°F (30°C) then allow 24 hours.

Water System

Verify that the chilled liquid system has been installed 

correctly, and has been commissioned with the correct 

direction of water flow through the evaporator. The inlet 

should be at the refrigerant pipework connection end of 

the evaporator. Purge air from the top of the evaporator 

using the plugged air vent mounted on the top of the 

evaporator body. Flow rates and pressure drops must 

be within the limits given in the Technical Data Section. 

Operation outside of these limits is undesirable and could 

cause damage.

Flow Switch

Verify a chilled water flow switch is correctly fitted in 

the customer’s pipework on the evaporator outlet, and 

wired into the control panel correctly using shielded 

cable. There should be a straight run of at least 5 pipe 

diameters on either side of the flow switch. The flow 

switch should be connected to terminals 13 and 14 in 

the micro panel.

Temperature Sensor(s)

Ensure the leaving liquid temperature sensor is coated 

with heat conductive compound (part no. 013-00890-

000) and is inserted in the water outlet sensor pocket 

of the evaporator. This sensor also acts as the freeze 

protection thermostat sensor and must always be in the 

water OUTLET sensor pocket.

Control Supply

Verify the control panel display is illuminated.

Programmed Options

Verify that the options factory programmed into the 

Microcomputer Control Center are in accordance with 

the customer’s order requirements by pressing the 

Op-

tions

 key on the keypad and reading the settings from 

the display.
