4.1 Mounting the extension kit "Capacity
control" (CRII) and "Start unloading" (SU)
Information
In order to allow the solenoid valves for capacity
control (CRII) and start unloading (SU) to be
mounted, the corresponding CRII and SU cylin-
der heads must already be pre-installed on the
compressor.
For safety references and installation descrip-
tions for the CRII or SU cylinder heads, includ-
ing mounting positions and exact equipment of
the cylinder banks, see Technical Information
KT-101 and KT-110.
• Remove the oval flange and seal from the
CRII/SU cylinder head and clean the sealing
surface.
• Apply a new seal, paying attention to the
guide pin positions!
• Use new screws to fasten the solenoid valve.
Alternately tighten the screws (tightening
torque 80 Nm).
!
!
NOTICE
Risk of compressor damage!
Use only suitable original solenoid coils!
• Press the solenoid coil onto the armature until
it engages.
• Insert the electric connector of the device and
screw it down (tightening torque 5 Nm).
Two completely equipped compressors, a 4-cyl-
inder type (left) and a 6-cylinder type (right) are
shown in the figure as examples. Arrangement
and equipment of the cylinder heads depending
on the equipment version ordered.

KW-231-112
• Shorten the cables as needed, pass them
through the cable glands on the compressor
module into the module housing and connect
them to the CN6 terminal strip.
If no additional extension kits are mounted:
• Proceed with the other electrical connections on the
CM-RC-01 (see chapter Further electrical connec-
tions on the CM-RC-01, page 9).
• Lay the cables and close the cable ties (see chapter
Laying the cables, page 9).
• Screw the protective earth conductor onto the ter-
minal box cover and attach the cover to the module
housing (see chapter Screwing the cover onto the
module housing, page 10).
4.2 Mounting the "Pressure transmitter" extension kit
!
!
NOTICE
The two pressure transmitters must not be inter-
changed. They differ by the component number
engraved in the component:
High pressure transmitter: 2CP5-71-47.
Low pressure transmitter: 2CP5-71-49.
Information
Alternative mounting position for discharge gas
temperatures exceeding 135°C:
Connect the pressure transmitters to the dis-
charge gas line, as close as possible to the
valves using one refrigerant hose each. Length
of the refrigerant hose: at least 200 mm to avoid
overheating of the transmitter.
4-cylinder compressors 4JE-13Y .. 4FE-35(Y):
• Remove the sealing plugs from the connect-
ors marked by rectangles and clean the
threaded bores.
• Screw the enclosed screwed nipple (low pres-
sure transmitter) resp. T-piece (high pressure
transmitter) with Schrader valves into the
threaded bores.
• Then screw the high pressure transmitter
(2CP5-71-47) into place at the HP position
and the low pressure transmitter
(2CP5-71-49) at the LP position (tightening
torque 35-40 Nm). Do not insert a blanking
plate between screwed nipple and pressure
transmitter, since this will prevent the
Schrader valve from opening!

KW-231-1 13
• Snap the connector into place and guide the
cable to the compressor module.
6-cylinder compressors 6JE-22Y .. 6FE-50(Y):
• Remove the sealing plugs from the connect-
ors marked by rectangles and clean the
threaded bores.
• Screw the enclosed screwed nipple (low pres-
sure transmitter) resp. T-piece (high pressure
transmitter) with Schrader valves into the
threaded bores.
• Then screw the high pressure transmitter
(2CP5-71-47) into place at the HP position
and the low pressure transmitter
(2CP5-71-49) at the LP position (tightening
torque 35-40 Nm). Do not insert a blanking
plate between screwed nipple and pressure
transmitter, since this will prevent the
Schrader valve from opening!
• Snap the connector into place and guide the
cable to the compressor module.
• Connect the cable of the high pressure trans-
mitter to terminal strip CN12, terminals 1, 2, 3
(designation "pdis") on the compressor mod-
ule.
• Connect the cable of the low pressure trans-
mitter to terminal strip CN12, terminals 4, 5, 6
(designation "psuc") on the compressor mod-
ule.
• Pay attention to the correct cable connec-
tions!
If no additional extension kits are mounted:
• Proceed with the other electrical connections on the
CM-RC-01 (see chapter Further electrical connec-
tions on the CM-RC-01, page 9).
• Lay the cables and close the cable ties (see chapter
Laying the cables, page 9).
• Screw the protective earth conductor onto the ter-
minal box cover and attach the cover to the module
housing (see chapter Screwing the cover onto the
module housing, page 10).

4-cylinder compressors 4JE-13Y .. 4FE-35(Y):
The 4-cylinder compressors are equipped with
an injection nozzle:
• Before installation, make sure that the injec-
tion nozzle is clean.
• Then remove the sealing plug (1/8 NPTF) and
screw the injection nozzle into place (tighten-
ing torque: 10-13 Nm).
• Wrap Teflon tape around the conical thread
(1/8 NPTF) to seal it.
• Screw the injection valve into place. It comes
premounted to the connecting line (including
screwed joints) leading to the injection nozzle.
• To avoid undefined vibrations and tensions in
the connecting line, secure the injection valve
through the fixing plate on the cylinder head.
• To this end, loosen the corresponding screw
on the cylinder head and tighten it again with
the fixing plate inserted (tightening torque: 80
Nm).
• Press the solenoid coil onto the armature until
it engages.
• Insert the electric connector of the device and
screw it down (tightening torque 5 Nm).
Information
Due to the position of fixing plate and
pipe clip on the cylinder head, the direc-
tion of pipe entry into the valve needs to
be considered for installation.

KW-231-1 15
6-cylinder compressors 6JE-22Y .. 6FE-50(Y):
The 6-cylinder compressors are equipped with
two injection nozzles:
Information
Make a brazing joint between liquid line
and injection valve before definitely
mounting the fixing elements.
• Before installation, make sure that the injec-
tion nozzles are clean.
• Then remove the sealing plugs (1/8 NPTF)
and screw the injection nozzles into place
(tightening torque: 10-13 Nm).
• Wrap Teflon tape around the conical thread
(1/8 NPTF) to seal it.
• Screw the injection valve into place. It comes
premounted to the forked connecting line (in-
cluding screwed joints) leading to the injection
nozzles.
• To avoid undefined vibrations and tensions in
the connecting line, secure the injection valve
by means of two fixing plates on the upper
part and on the side of the cylinder head (see
red marks in the figure).
• To this end, loosen the corresponding screws
on the cylinder head and tighten them again
with the fixing plates inserted (tightening
torque: 80 Nm).
• Then screw the connecting line into the
thread of the nozzles and tighten while hold-
ing the nozzle element with an open ring
spanner.
• Press the solenoid coil onto the armature until
it engages.
• Insert the electric connector of the device and
screw it down (tightening torque 5 Nm).

KW-231-116

the compressor module into the module hous-
ing and connect them to the CN5 terminal
strip.
• Proceed with the other electrical connections
on the CM-RC-01 (see chapter Further elec-
trical connections on the CM-RC-01, page 9).
• Screw the protective earth conductor onto the
