Normal Operation
An LED (light-emitting diode) indicator is provided on the integrated
gas unit controller (IGC) to monitor operation. The IGC is located by
removing the control access panel (see Fig. 22). During normal
operation, the LED is continuously on (See Table 6 for error codes).
Airflow and Temperature Rise
The heating section for each size unit is designed and approved for
heating operation within the temperature-rise range stamped on the unit
rating plate.
Table 9 shows the approved temperature rise range for each heating
input, and the air delivery cfm at various temperature rises for a given
external static pressure. The heating operation airflow must produce a
temperature rise that falls within the approved range.
Refer to Indoor Airflow and Airflow Adjustments section to adjust
heating airflow when required.
Heating Sequence of Operation (Ultra Low NOx Single
and Three Phase Models)
(See Fig. 15 - Fig. 18 and unit wiring label)
On a call for heating, terminal W of the thermostat is energized, starting
the induced-draft motor for a 30 second pre-purge at normal ignition
speed. When the pressure switch senses that the induced-draft motor is
moving sufficient combustion air, the burner sequence begins. This
function is controlled by the integrated gas unit controller (IGC).
After 30 sec of pre-purge is complete, the pressure switch checks for
sufficient combustion. Then, the gas valve energizes and the system
attempts to ignite with igniter being energized. The igniter energizes for
5 sec and integrated gas controller (IGC) allows system to sense flame
for 2 sec at the end of 5 sec of ignition trial. On first successful ignition,
system stays at the ignition speed for 10 sec and ramps up to an
intermediate speed for approximately 10 sec and gradually ramps up to
the steady state speed. The system uses the same logic for 2nd ignition
trial. If a 3rd or 4th ignition attempt is needed, the inducer speed is
increased to the intermediate speed. In case the 4th attempt fails, the
system will lock out for 1 hr. After 1 hr. lock out period, the system starts
with normal operating sequence. Once flame is established and proven
successfully, indoor (evaporator) fan motor is energized after 30
seconds. When the thermostat is satisfied and W is de-energized, the
pre-mix burner will stop firing and the indoor (evaporator) fan motor
shuts off after a 90 second time-off delay. Please note that the IGC has
the capability to automatically decrease the indoor (evaporator) fan
motor "ON" delay and increase the indoor (evaporator) fan motor "OFF"
delay in the event of high duct static and/or partially-clogged filter.
If the time between heating calls is 5 minutes or less, subsequent
ignitions will be conducted with the inducer on the intermediate inducer
speed. If the time between heating calls is 5 minutes or more, the first
two ignition attempts will be on the low inducer speed, while the 3rd and
4th attempts (if needed) would be on the intermediate inducer speed.
Limit Switches
Normally closed limit switch (LS) completes the control circuit. Should
the leaving-air temperature rise above the maximum allowable
temperature, the limit switch opens and the control circuit “breaks.” Any
interruption in the control circuit instantly closes the gas valve and stops
gas flow to the burners. The blower motor continues to run until LS
resets.
When the air temperature at the limit switch drops to the
low-temperature setting of the limit switch, the switch closes and
completes the control circuit. The direct-spark ignition system cycles
and the unit returns to normal heating operation.
NOTES:
1. When W is energized the burners will remain on for a minimum of 60 sec.
2. If more than one error code exists they will be displayed on the LED in
sequence.
Burner Thermal Switch (Ultra Low NOx)
The Burner Thermal Switch (BTS) is used on Ultra Low NOx units and
is located on top of the burner box. (See Fig. 20.) The BTS switch
functions similar to a rollout switch but also provides protection against
a blocked burner. The BTS switch has the same FAULT CODE (7
flashes) on the ignition board as a rollout switch found on standard Low
NOx units.
Step 3 – Start-up Cooling and Make Adjustments
Complete the required procedures given in the Pre-Start-Up section
before starting the unit. Do not jumper any safety devices when
operating the unit. Do not operate the compressor when the outdoor
temperature is below 40°F (4.4°C) (unless accessory low-ambient kit is
installed). Do not rapid-cycle the compressor. Allow 5 minutes between
on cycles to prevent compressor damage.
Checking Cooling Control Operation
Start and check the unit for proper cooling control operation as follows:
1. Place room thermostat SYSTEM switch in OFF position. Observe
that blower motor starts when FAN switch is placed in ON position
and shuts down when FAN switch is placed in AUTO position.
2. Place SYSTEM switch in COOL position and FAN switch in
AUTO position. Set cooling control below room temperature.
Observe that compressor, condenser fan, and evaporator blower
motors start. Observe that cooling cycle shuts down when control
setting is satisfied. The evaporator fan will continue to run for 60
sec.
3. When using an auto-changeover room thermostat, place both
SYSTEM and FAN switches in AUTO positions. Observe that unit
operates in Heating mode when temperature control is set to call for
heating (above room temperature) and operates in Cooling mode
when temperature control is set to call for cooling (below room
temperature).
IMPORTANT: Three-phase, scroll compressors are direction oriented.
Unit must be checked to ensure proper compressor 3-phase power lead
orientation. If not corrected within 5 minutes, the internal protector will
shut off the compressor. The 3-phase power leads to the unit must be
reversed to correct rotation. When turning backwards, the difference
between compressor suction and discharge pressures will be minimal.
Checking and Adjusting Refrigerant Charge
The refrigerant system is fully charged with Puron (R-410A) refrigerant
and is tested and factory sealed. Allow system to operate a minimum of
15 minutes before checking or adjusting charge.
