A. Quick Start Guide
Teikoku Type-R (Plan 13-SE) Refrigeration Pump
Prior to Priming the Pump
Attention!
Do not operate the pump if the TRG bearing wear monitor
reading is in the red.
Doing so will void the warranty.
1. Verify that the vessel contains enough liquid as to not cause
cavitation or dry running
2. Verify the restriction orifice in the reverse circulation line is
installed between the flange at the rear of the motor and the
reverse circulation piping
3. Verify the reverse circulation piping is per the Teikoku recom-
mendations as shown in Appendix B.
4. Allow compressor to pull down system temperature to normal
operating temperature
Priming and Venting
1. Inspect installation
2. Open suction valve 100%
3. Open discharge valve 100%
4. Open reverse circulation valve 100%
5. Set discharge line vent valve to 100% open
6. * Open minimum flow valve 100% (If required)
7. Let pump fill with liquid until a frost layer develops on the
motor body
Rotation Check
with Type-M TRG Meter AM-45
1. Pump must be primed
2. Set suction valve to 100% open
3. Set discharge valve to 20% open
4. Set reverse circulation valve to 100% open
5. * Set minimum flow valve to required % open (if required)
6. Set discharge line vent valve to 100% open
7. Start pump for 3 to 5 seconds and observe TRG
8. If TRG is in the GREEN the rotation is correct
9. If TRG is pegged RED the rotation is reverse, swap two leads
and repeat rotation check
Rotation Check
with TRC-1 Hand-Held Rotation Checker
Use TRC-1 on Type-L TRG Meter A-45 C
1. Pump must be primed
2. Set suction valve to 100% open
3. Set discharge valve to 20% open
4. Set reverse circulation valve to 100% open
5. Set discharge line vent valve to 100% open
6. * Set minimum flow valve to required % open (if required)
7. Place TRC-1 on motor as per instructions in
8. Start pump for 3 to 5 seconds and observe TRC-1
9. The illuminated arrow on the TRC-1 indicates the direction
of rotation
10. If the TRC-1 indicates the incorrect direction of rotation, swap
two leads and repeat rotation check
Standard Start up
1. Pump must be primed and rotation checked
2. Open suction valve 100%
3. Set discharge valve to 20% open
4. Set reverse circulation valve to 100% open
5. Set discharge line vent valve to 100% open
6. * Set minimum flow valve to required % open (if required)
7. Start pump
8. Gradually open discharge valve until specified capacity
is reached
Check Points
• TRG meter indicates low GREEN – check regularly
• Report when TRG meter goes into the yellow zone
• Verify motor amps are correct
• Verify differential pressure is correct
• Verify pump is operating without excessive or abnormal
noise or vibrations
