Preliminary Testing
Before mounting the air conditioner to the enclosure, test for proper operation. Follow the steps below
prior to installation.
WARNINGS
The air conditioner must sit upright for 24 hours to assure the compressor oil has drained down to the
compressor. Check the unit label to assure the electric power available to the air conditioner is the
proper voltage and phase. Check the electric power source for proper ground wire and neutral wire
installation per 2008 NEC. Assure that the electric power is protected by a circuit protection device;
refer to the Unit Specification section in this manual for proper circuit protection sizing.
Connect a power source to the air conditioner and turn on the power switch. The evaporator
fan will start and the digital controller will power up. If cooling is called for, the compressor will
start in 3 minutes.
If desired, change the cooling set point. Refer to Digital Temperature Controller Programming
section on this manual for details on changing the set point. Factory default settings should be
satisfactory; however you may want to adjust heat, cooling and alarm set points for your
specific application.
The condenser fan is controlled by the refrigerant high heat pressure and will turn on later
when the operating pressure builds up. This feature allows low ambient operation and
reduces current inrush at initial power on.
Run the air conditioner for 15 minutes; during this time the condenser fan will turn on after the
condenser coil warms up.
Note: Ambient Temperature must be at least 75°F.
Turn the unit off if the equipment makes any unexpected or hard mechanical noises or
vibrations and refer to the troubleshooting guide in this manual.
The supply cold air should be at least 10°F colder than the return air entering the unit. If it is
not, refer to the troubleshooting guide in this manual;
When you are satisfied that the unit is operating properly, turn unit off, disconnect the power
and mount the unit on the enclosure in accordance with the Mounting the Air Conditioner
section in this manual.
