11-PowerExhaustRelay K65 (PEF units)
PowerexhaustrelayK65 isaDPDTrelaywith a 24VAC
coil.K65 isused in all LGA/LCAunitsequippedwiththe
optionalpowerexhaust fans.K65 isenergized bythe
economizercontrolpanel(A56),afterthe economizer
dampersreach 50%open (adjustableinECTO).When
K65 closes, the exhaust fan B10 isenergized.
12-BlowerMotorOverloadRelay S42 (units
with high efficiency motors)
The blowermotoroverload relayisused in all Lseriesunits
equipped with high efficiency motors.The relay(S42)is con-
nected inline withthe blowermotortomonitorthe current flow
tothe motor.When the relay sensesan overload condition,a
setofnormally closed contactsopen to de-energize pin #9 in
plug 110ofthe A55maincontrolmodule.A55 de-energizesall
outputs.The overload relayhasan adjustablesetting and is
setperthe nameplatecurrentof the motor.All unitsare
equipped with a relaymanufactured bySiemenswhichisde-
tailed infigure 5.
13-StartCapacitorC7(single-phase)
Single-phase unitsuseastartcapacitor (C7)wired in
parallelwiththe compressorside of the dualcapacitor.
The startcapacitorislocated tothe side of the control-
panel.C7isengagedduringcompressorstart-upandis
switched off bythe potentialrelayasthe compressor
nearsfull speed.Capacitor ratingsmaybe different for
eachmotor,buttheratingandrepairpartnumberwillbe
printed on the side of the capacitor.
14-PotentialRelay K31 (single-phase)
Single-phase unitsuse a potentialrelaywhichcontrolsthe op-
eration of the starting circuit. The potentialrelayislocated to
the side of the unitcontrolpanel.The relayisnormally closed
when the compressor (contactorK1)isde-energized.Capaci-
tor(C7)isconnectedtoasetofN.C.K31 contactsandisused
to assist the compressorinstarting.When K1 energizes, the
compressorimmediatelybegins start-up.K31 remainsde-en-
ergized during compressorstart-up and the startcapacitor
(C7) remainsinthe circuit. Asthe compressorgains speed,
K31 isenergized byelectromotiveforcesgenerated bythe
compressor.When K31 energizes,its contactsopen totake
the startcapacitoroutof the circuit.
