After the unit has operated in the cooling mode for a
short period of time, install pressure gauges on the
gauge ports of the discharge and suction line valves
(behind the Compressor access panel). Check the
suction and discharge pressures and compare them to
the normal operating pressures provided in the unit’s
SERVICE FACTS.

e:: Do not use the PRESSURE CURVES from the
unit's SERVICE FACTS to determine the unit
refrigerant charge. The correct charge is shown
on the unit nameplate. To charge the system
accurately, weigh in the charge according to the
unit nameplate and check subcooling against the
Subcooling Charging Table in the SERVICE
FACTS.

With the compressor operating, check the line voltage
at the unit (contactor is located behind the Control/Heat
access panel). The voltage should be within the range
shown on the unit nameplate. If low voltage is
encountered, check the size and length of the supply
line from the main disconnect to the unit. The line may
be undersized for the length of the run.

These units are equipped with a solid-state ignition
control that lights the burners each time the thermostat
calls for heat. The burners are extinquished during the
OFF cycle. To start the gas heating section of the unit:
1. Check that all grills and registers are open and all
unit access panels are closed before start-up.
2. Purge the gas supply line of air by opening the
union ahead (upstream) of the unit. When the odor
of gas is detected, retighten the union and wait five
(5) minutes before proceeding.
3. Be sure the thermostat is at its lowest setting and
the power to the unit is off.
a. Turn the main shut-ff valve on the gas
supply line to ON.
b. Turn the thermostat to the highest setting in
the heating cycle.
4. Be sure the burner compartment access panel is in
place.
