Remote Models
The remote models are designed to use 449 refrigerant and are shipped from the factory with the evaporator
coil, expansion valve, sight glass and refrigerant solenoid valve. A thermostat senses evaporator
temperature and opens and closes the refrigerant solenoid valve. The solenoid valve closes and shuts off the
refrigeration flow to the unit and initiates a pump down cycle. This will allow the remote low pressure
switch to open and shut off remote compressor. The temperature control may require some adjustment by
the installer for proper operation of unit. This unit also has a defrost timer that will shut the refrigeration
solenoid off a set number of times per day (set at the factory to 3 times per day) to insure a full defrost
occurs. The solenoid will remain off until either the off time is reached or until the temperature sensor on
the coil reaches a set temperature, whichever happens first
The condensing unit is optionally supplied from the factory for remote location installation. The
condensing unit supplied from the factory will require a high low pressure switch that must be mounted and
wired by the installer. The high low pressure switch must be wired in series with the compressor power
supply as shown in diagram below. A drier/filter must also be installed by installer.
1.
Mount condensing unit indoors as close to the remote display case as practical. The refrigeration line
should be as short as possible and must not exceed 30 feet.
2.
All refrigeration and/or electrical materials between the condensing unit and display case are to be
supplied by installing contractor.
3.
Route properly sized and designed refrigeration lines from the condensing unit to the cabinet.
Horizontal suction lines should be pitched downward towards the condensing unit at least ½” per 10’
run to aid the oil drainage. A “P” trap must be installed in the suction line at the foot of every riser to
insure oil return. Dry nitrogen must be used to flow through tubing while brazing refrigeration lines.
4.
The suction line must be insulated the entire length with Armaflex (or equivalent). Do not run liquid
line inside insulation with suction line.
5.
The remote high/low-pressure control must be mounted, wired and set pressures by the installer.
6.
Leak check the condensing unit, cabinet, and all connecting tubing. The cabinet and condensing unit
tubing should be checked to insure no leaks occurred during shipping or from rough handling.
Make certain all refrigeration valves are opened and evacuate system to 500 microns. Charge the
system with the refrigerant type specified on the data plates.
