niittss:: Two low pressure switches are
installed at the factory. However, only one is wired
into the control circuit. This is to facilitate an EVP
chiller or air over evaporator application. Before
starting the system, verify that the correct pressure
switch is connected to the control circuit. See
Pressure Control Switch Settings table in Start-Up
chapter for the pressure control settings, and the
unit wiring diagram that shipped with the unit, for
the appropriate connections.
•
Check the condenser coils. They should be clean
and the fins should be straight. Straighten any bent
coil fins with an appropriate sized fin comb.
•
Inspect the interior of the unit for tools and debris.

must be evacuated before the unit can be started. Use a
rotary type vacuum pump capable of pulling a vacuum
of 100 microns or less. Verify that the unit disconnect
