Starting The Unit In The Cooling Mode
IIMPORTANT NOTE:
Before starting the system in the
cooling cycle, turn the zone sensor switch to “off”
and close the unit disconnect switch. This procedure
energizes the compressor crankcase heaters,
vaporizing any liquid refrigerant in the crankcase.
This is a precaution against foaming at start-up,
which could damage the compressor bearings. Allow
the heater to operate for a minimum of eight hours.
Verify that the unit airflow rate is adjusted according to infor-
mation provided in “Determining Evaporator Fan Adjustment”
section of this manual.
Note: See “Sequence of operation” in the unit
Service Facts for a complete description of cooling
operating sequence.
To start the unit in the cooling mode, close unit disconnect
switch and set the zone sensor system switch to COOL and
move the cooling setpoint approximately 10 degrees below
room temperature. There will be a delay of up to 5 minutes be-
fore the unit will start automatically.
To bypass time delays, and verify the operation of this unit
from the roof, use the “Test mode procedure” on page 3 and 4
of this manual.
Operating Pressures
After the unit has operated in the cooling mode for a short pe-
riod of time, install pressure gauges on the gauge ports of the
discharge and suction line valves.
Note: Always route refrigerant hoses through the port
hole provided and have compressor access panel in
place.
Check the suction and discharge pressures and compare
them to the normal operating pressures provided in the unit’s
Service Facts.
Note: Do not use pressures from Service Facts to
determine the unit refrigerant charge. The correct
charge is shown on the unit nameplate. To charge the
system accurately, weigh the charge.
Voltage
With the compressor operating, check the line voltage at the
unit. The voltage should be within the range shown on the unit
nameplate. If low voltage is encountered, check the size and
length of the supply line from the main disconnect to the unit.
The line may be undersized for the length of the run.
Cooling Shut Down
To exit the test mode, disconnect unit power for 3-5 seconds
and reapply. When running the unit using the zone sensor as
the control, position the selector switch at “Off”. There may
be a delay of up to 3 minutes before compressors shut down
and an additional 1 minute before the fan shuts down in this
setting.
Do not de-energize main power disconnect except when unit
is to be serviced. Power is required to keep air conditioning
compressor crankcase warm and boil off refrigerant in the oil.
Bodily injury can result
from high voltage electrical components. If operating
checks must be performed with the unit operating, it
is the technician’s responsibility to recognize these
hazards and proceed safely. Failure to do so could
result in severe personal injury or death due to
electrical shock or contact with moving parts.
Power-up Initialization
The “initialization” by the Unitary Control Processor (UCP) oc-
curs each time the system is powered-up. The UCP performs
internal self-diagnostics checks, which include identifying the
equipment components of its system, and the configuring of it-
self to that system. It also checks itself to be sure it is function-
ing correctly. On units with the optional economizer, the
damper is driven open for 15 to 20 seconds and then fully
closed for 90 seconds to calibrate itself. The UCP system indi-
cator LED is turned to “ON” within one second of start-up if
operation is correct.
The Unitary Control Processor (UCP) switches are factory set
to provide comfort for most applications. Control cycles may
be adjusted as indicated in the table below. These switches
function similar to the heat anticipator adjustment in conven-
tional thermostats.

Starting the Unit in the Heating Mode
Check to ensure all grilles and registers are open and all unit
access doors are closed before start-up.
Place the zone system switch in the heat position.
Postition the heating setpoint approximately 10 degrees above
room temperature and place the fan switch in "Auto" or "On"
position.
Turn on main power supply.
Note: To bypass time delays, and verfiy the operation
of this unit from the roof, use the Test mode
procedure on page 3 and 4 of this manual.
Heating Shut-down
To exit the test mode, disconnect unit power for 3-5 seconds
and reapply. When running the unit using the zone sensor as
the control, position the selector switch at "Off". There will be a
delay of 60 seconds before the unit shuts down in this setting.
