Solenoid Drop Control Wiring
Control the power to the liquid line solenoid through a Sole-
noid Valve Relay (SVR) in all units. Use part number
HN61PC005 (field-supplied, installed). CAS072/091/121/151
unit requires one SVR; CAS123/153 unit requires two relays.
A unit with two liquid line solenoid valves also requires a
separate control power transformer for the liquid solenoid
valve loads. Select TRAN3 transformer part number ac-
cording to unit power supply.
Mount the SVR (and transformer TRAN3 when used) in unit
control box. Connect per wiring schematic label on unit.
Evaporator Capacity Control Liquid Line Solenoid
Valve
Many older unit designs included automatic capacity con-
trols that sensed changes in suction pressure and could in-
crease or decrease compressor capacity automatically as
the evaporator load changed. Control systems were used
on these units that had the thermostat’s second stage con-
tacts control a capacity control liquid line solenoid valve to
open or shutoff a portion of the evaporator surface without
any direct connection to the compressor circuit.
This form of system capacity staging control is not possible
with CAS models. If this installation is a retrofit for a unit that
included automatic pressure-operated unloading, check the
existing thermostat and liquid solenoid valve. When found,
convert the evaporator second stage solenoid control into a
drop-solenoid control. Use the two SVR relays and trans-
former as required on CAS123/153 models (above); wire
the SVRs and transformer per two solenoid valve systems.
SELECTING AN ACCUMULATOR
Because all CAS models use scroll compressors, an accu-
mulator is not required. If an accumulator is to be added,
check the accumulator manufacturer’s literature carefully for
indication of its suitability for use with R-410A; look for mini-
mum working pressure of 200 psig (1380 kPa). Select the
accumulator first on the basis of its cataloged minimum ca-
pacity (tons) to ensure oil return from the accumulator, then
on tube size or holding capacity.
MAKE PIPING CONNECTIONS
Piping connections at the CAS unit are ball valves with stub
tube extensions. Do not open the unit service valves until all
interconnecting tube brazing has been completed. The stub
tube connections include 1/4-in. SAE service fittings with
Schrader valve cores (see Fig. 10). Before making any
brazed connections to the unit service valves, remove both
Schrader valve caps and cores and save for re-installation.
Connect a source for nitrogen to one of these service fittings
during tube brazing to prevent the formation of copper
oxides inside the tubes at brazed joints.
When connecting the field tubing to the CAS service valves,
wrap the valves in wet rags to prevent overheating.
Pressure-test all joints from outdoor unit connections over to
the evaporator coil, using nitrogen as pressure and with
soap-and-bubbles.
When pressure-testing is completed, remove the nitrogen
source at the outdoor unit service valves and re-install the
two Schrader valve cores. Torque the cores to 2 to 3 in-lbs
(23 to 34 N-cm).

EVACUATION/DEHYDRATION
Evacuate and dehydrate the connected refrigeration sys-
tem(s) (excluding the CAS unit) to 500 microns using a two-
stage vacuum pump attached to the service ports outside
the CAS service valves, following description in GTAC II,
Module 4, System Dehydration.
This unit is designed for use with R-410A refrigerant. Do not
use any other refrigerant in this system.
R-410A refrigerant is provided in pink (rose) colored cylin-
ders. These cylinders are available with and without dip
tubes; cylinders with dip tubes will have a label indicating
this feature. For a cylinder with a dip tube, place the cylinder
in the upright position (access valve at the top) when remov-
ing liquid refrigerant for charging. For a cylinder without a
dip tube, invert the cylinder (access valve on the bottom)
when removing liquid refrigerant.
Because R-410A refrigerant is a blend, it is strongly rec-
ommended that refrigerant always be removed from the
cylinder as a liquid. Admit liquid refrigerant into the system
in the discharge line. If adding refrigerant into the suction
line, use a commercial metering/expansion device at the
gauge manifold; remove liquid from the cylinder, pass it
through the metering device at the gauge set and then
pass it into the suction line as a vapor. Do not remove
R-410A refrigerant from the cylinder as a vapor.
PRELIMINARY CHARGE
Before starting the unit, charge R-410A liquid refrigerant into
the high side of each CAS circuit through the liquid service
valve(s). The amount of refrigerant added must be at least
80% of the operating charge listed in Tables 5 or 6 for
LINEAR line length LESS the factory charge quantity (if fac-
tory shipping charge has not been removed). See example
below.
Allow high and low side pressures to equalize. If pressures
do not equalize readily, charge R-410A vapor (using special
service manifold with expansion device) into the suction line
service port for the low side of system to assure charge in
the evaporator. Refer to GTAC II, Module 5, Charging,

WARNING
UNIT OPERATION AND SAFETY HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could cause personal
injury, death and/or equipment damage.
R-410A refrigerant systems operate at higher pressures
than standard R-22 systems. Do not use R-22 service
equipment or components on R-410A refrigerant
equipment.
