Each compressor can be equipped with a crankcase
heater. The proper operation of the crankcase heater is
important to maintain an elevated compressor oil
temperature during the “Off” cycle to reduce oil
foaming during compressor starts. Oil foaming occurs
when refrigerant condenses in the compressor and
mixes with the oil. In lower ambient conditions,
refrigerant migration to the compressor could increase.
When the compressor starts, the sudden reduction in
crankcase pressure causes the liquid refrigerant to boil
rapidly causing the oil to foam. This condition could
damage compressor bearings due to reduced
lubrication and could cause compressor mechanical
failures.
Before starting the unit in the “Cooling” mode, set the
system switch to the “Off” position and turn the main
power disconnect to the “On” position and allow the
crankcase heater to operate a minimum of 8 hours.
Before closing the main power disconnect switch,
insure that the “System”selection switch is in the “Off”
position and the “Fan” selection switch is in the “Auto”
position.
Close the main power disconnect switch and the unit
mounted disconnect switch, if applicable.
Checklist
Use the following checklist in conjunction with the
general checklist (
“General Unit Requirements,” p. 18
)
to ensure that the unit is properly installed and ready
for operation.

☐
Check all electrical connections for tightness and
“point of termination” accuracy.
☐
Verify that the condenser airflow is unobstructed.
☐
Verify that the condenser fan and indoor blower
turn freely without rubbing and are properly
tightened on the shafts.
☐
Check the supply fan belts for proper tension and
the fan bearings for sufficient lubrication. If the
belts require adjustment, or if the bearings need
lubricating, refer to the maintenance section of this
manual for instructions.
☐
Verify that a condensate trap is installed and the
piping is properly sized and pitched.
☐
Verify that the correct size and number of filters are
in place.
☐
Inspect the interior of the unit for tools and debris
and install all panels in preparation for starting the
unit.
