III. COOLING SECTION START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION: Complete the required procedures given
in the Pre-Start-Up section on page 16 before starting
the unit.
Do not jumper any safety devices when operating the
unit.
Do not operate the compressor in cooling when the out-
door temperature is below 25 F (unless accessory low
ambient kit is installed).
Do not rapid-cycle the compressor. Allow 5 minutes be-
tween ‘‘on’’ cycles to prevent compressor damage.
A. Checking Cooling Control Operation
Start and check the unit for proper cooling control operation
as follows:
1. Place room thermostat SYSTEM switch selector 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 selector in COOL position and
FAN switch in AUTO. position. Set cooling control be-
low room temperature. Observe that compressor, con-
denser fan, and evaporator blower motors start. Observe
that cooling cycle shuts down when control setting is
satisfied.
3. Check unit charge. See Section B below.
4. To shut off unit, set system switch selector at OFF po-
sition. Resetting thermostat at a position above room tem-
perature shuts unit off temporarily until space
temperature exceeds thermostat setting. Units are
equipped with Cycle-LOC™ protection device. Unit shuts
down on any safety trip and remains off; an indicator
light on the thermostat comes on. Check reason for safety
trip.
5. When using an auto.-changeover room thermostat, place
both SYSTEM and FAN switches in AUTO. positions.
Observe that unit operates in heating mode when tem-
perature control is set above room temperature and
operates in cooling mode when temperature control is
set below room temperature.
6. Compressor restart is accomplished by manual reset at
the thermostat by turning the switch selector to OFF
position and then ON position.
B. Checking and Adjusting Refrigerant Charge
The refrigerant system is fully charged with R-22 refriger-
ant, tested, and factory sealed.
NOTE: Adjustment of the refrigerant charge is not required
unless the unit is suspected of not having the proper R-22
charge. This unit uses charging charts to determine proper
charge. See Refrigerant Charge section on page 26 for fur-
ther details.
C. Unit Controls
All compressors have the following internal-protection
controls:
High-Pressure Relief Valve — This valve (internal to the com-
pressor) opens when the pressure differential between the low
and high side becomes excessive and will automatically reset
when pressure returns to normal.
Compressor Overload — This overload interrupts power to
the compressor when either the current or internal tempera-
ture becomes excessive, and automatically resets when the
internal temperature drops to a safe level. This overload may
require up to 60 minutes (or longer) to reset; therefore, if the
internal overload is suspected of being open, disconnect the
electrical power to the unit and check the circuit through the
overload with an ohmmeter or continuity tester.
D. Cooling Sequence of Operation
Units Without Economizer
When the thermostat calls for cooling, terminals G and Y1
are energized. The indoor-fan contactor (IFC), and com-
pressor contactor no. 1 (C1) are energized and the indoor-fan
motor, compressor no. 1, and outdoor fans start. The outdoor-
fan motors run continuously while unit is cooling. If the ther-
mostat calls for a second stage of cooling by energizing Y2,
compressor contactor no. 2 (C2) is energized and compressor
no. 2 starts.
Units with Varislide™ Economizer
When the outdoor-air temperature is above the OAT setting
and the room thermostat calls for cooling, the compressor con-
tactor no. 1 is energized to start compressor no. 1 and outdoor-
fan motor. The indoor-fan motor (IFM) is energized and the
economizer damper moves to the minimum position. Upon a
further call for cooling, compressor contactor no. 2 will be en-
ergized, starting compressor no. 2.After the thermostat is sat-
isfied and the IFM is deenergized, the damper moves to the
fully closed position.
When the outdoor-air temperature is below the OAT setting
and the thermostat calls forY1 and G, the economizer damper
moves to the minimum position when the indoor fan starts.
The first stage of cooling is provided by the economizer. If the
supply-air temperature is above 57 F, a switch on the supply-
air thermostat is closed between the T2 terminal and the
24 vac terminal. This causes the damper to continue to modu-
late open until the supply-air temperature falls below 55 F
or the damper reaches the fully open position.
When the supply-air temperature is between 55 F and 52 F,
the supply-air thermostat has open switches between the T2
and 24 vac terminals and between the T1 and 24 vac termi-
nals. This causes the economizer damper to remain in an in-
termediate open position.
If the supply-air temperature falls below 52 F, a switch on
the supply-air thermostat is closed between the T1 terminal
and the 24 vac terminal. This causes the damper to modu-
late closed until the supply-air temperature rises above 55 F
or the damper reaches the minimum position.
When the supply-air temperature is between 55 F and 57 F,
the supply-air thermostat has open switches between the T2
and 24 vac terminals. This causes the economizer damper to
remain in an intermediate open position.
If the outdoor air alone cannot satisfy the cooling require-
ments of the conditioned space, economizer cooling is inte-
grated with mechanical cooling, providing second stage
cooling. Compressor no. 1 and outdoor fan will be energized,
and the position of the economizer damper will be deter-
mined by the supply-air temperature. Compressor no. 2 is
locked out.
When the second stage of cooling is satisfied, the compressor
and outdoor-fan motor will be deenergized. The damper po-
sition will be determined by the supply-air temperature.
When the first stage of cooling is satisfied, the damper will
move to fully closed position.
