Airflow Selections (ECM Furnaces)
The ECM Furnaces provide blower operation to match the capacities of the compressor during high and low stage cooling operation. Tap selections on the furnace control board enable the installing technician to select the proper airflows for each stage of cooling. Below is a brief summary of the furnace airflow configurations

  1. The Y2 call for high stage cooling energizes the “Cool” tap on the control board. The grey wire from cool tap is connected to tap 5 on the motor. Refer to the furnace Product Data to find the corresponding airflow. If the airflow setting for high cooling needs to be switched from tap 5 to a different tap, jumper a connection from the cool tap to the desired tap so that the Y2 signal is communicated via the cool tap to the desired speed tap.
  2. The Y1 call for low stage cooling energizes the “Fan” tap on the control board. The red wire from the fan tap is connected to tap 1 on the motor. Refer to the furnace Product Data to find the corresponding airflow. If the airflow setting for low cooling needs to be switched from tap 1 to a different tap, jumper a connection from the Fan tap to the desired tap so that the Y1 signal is communicated via the Fan tap to the desired speed tap. The Y1 setting will also govern the continuous fan airflow for the furnace.

Refer to the literature for the furnace for further details.

Airflow Selection for Variable Speed Furnaces
The variable speed furnaces provide blower operation to match the capacities of the compressor during high and low stage cooling operation. The furnace control board allows the installing technician to select the proper airflows for each stage of cooling. Below is a summary of required adjustments. See furnace installation instructions for more details:

  1. Turn SW1–5 ON for 400 CFM/ton airflow or OFF for 350 CFM/ton airflow. Factory default is OFF.
  2. The A/C DIP switch setting determines airflow during high stage cooling operation. Select the A/C DIP switch setting corresponding to the available airflow shown in the furnace Installation Instructions that most closely matches the required airflow shown in the air conditioning Product Data for HIGH speed.
  3. The CF DIP switch setting determines airflow during low stage cooling operation. Select the CF DIP switch setting corresponding to the available airflow shown in the furnace installation instructions that most closely matches the required airflow shown in the air conditioning Product Data for LOW speed. If a higher or lower continuous fan speed is desired, the continuous fan speed can be changed using the fan switch on the thermostat. Refer to the furnace Installation Instructions for details of how to use this feature.

Airflow Selection for FV4C Fan Coils
The FV4C provides high- and low-stage blower operation to match the capacities of the compressor at high- and low-stage.
To select recommended airflow, refer to the FV4C Installation Instructions. The FV4C utilizes a control board that allows the installing technician to select proper airflows. This fan coil has an adjustable blower-off delay factory set at 90 sec. for high- and low-stage blower operation.

Start-Up

CAUTION
UNIT OPERATION AND SAFETY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury, equipment damage or improper operation.?

  • Do not overcharge system with refrigerant.
  • Do not operate unit in a vacuum or at negative pressure.
  • Compressor dome temperatures may be hot.

CAUTION
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.
Wear safety glasses, protective clothing, and gloves when handling refrigerant and observe the following: ?
Front seating service valves are equipped with Schrader valves.

Follow these steps to properly start up the system:

  1. After system is evacuated, fully back seat (open) liquid and vapor service valves.
  2. Unit is shipped with valve stem(s) front seated (closed) and caps installed. Replace stem caps after system is opened to refrigerant flow (back seated). Replace caps finger-tight and tighten with wrench an additional 1/12 turn.
  3. Close electrical disconnects to energize system.
  4. Set room thermostat at desired temperature. Ensure that set point is below indoor ambient temperature and is set low enough to energize high stage. In order to start the system in high stage, refer to the literature for the installed thermostat and adjust the set point so that the differential between the room temperature and the set temperature energizes Y2.
  5. Set room thermostat to COOL and fan control to ON or AUTO mode, as desired.
  6. Operate unit for 15 minutes. Verify system refrigerant charge by measuring the sub-cooling and comparing with the published sub-cool on the rating plate.

System Function And Sequence Of Operation

This model utilizes a 2-stage cooling indoor thermostat. With a call for first stage cooling, the outdoor fan and low-stage compressor are energized. If low- stage cannot satisfy cooling demand, high-stage is energized by the second stage of indoor thermostat. After second stage is satisfied, the unit returns to low-stage operation until first stage is satisfied or until second stage is required again. When both first stage and second stage cooling are satisfied, the compressor will shut off. Therefore, with first stage of cooling Y1 is powered on; and with second stage of cooling Y1 and Y2 are powered on. When a 2-stage unit is operating at low-stage, system vapor (suction) pressure will be higher than a standard single-stage system or high-stage operation.

Compressor Operation
The basic scroll design has been modified with the addition of an internal unloading mechanism that opens a by-pass port in the first compression pocket, effectively reducing the displacement of the scroll. The opening and closing of the by-pass port is controlled by an internal electrically operated solenoid. The modulated scroll uses a single step of unloading to go from full capacity to approximately 67% capacity. A single speed, high efficiency motor continues to run while the scroll modulates between the two capacity steps. Modulation is achieved by venting a portion of the gas in the first suction pocket back to the low side of the compressor, thereby reducing the effective displacement of the compressor. Full capacity is achieved by blocking these vents, thus increasing the displacement to 100%. A DC solenoid in the compressor controlled by a rectified 24 volt AC signal in the external solenoid plug moves the slider ring that covers and uncovers these vents. The vent covers are arranged in such a manner that the compressor operates at approximately 67% capacity when the solenoid is not energized and 100% capacity when the solenoid is energized. The loading and unloading of the two step scroll is done “on the fly” without shutting off the motor between steps.
NOTE: 67% compressor capacity translates to approximately 75%cooling capacity at the indoor coil.

Check Charge
NOTE: CHARGE IN HIGH STAGE ONLY

  • Factory charge amount and desired subcooling are shown on unit rating plate. Charging method is shown on information plate inside unit. To properly check or adjust charge, conditions must be favorable for subcooling charging. Favorable conditions exist when the outdoor temperature is between 70°F and 100°F (21.11°C and 37.78°C), and the indoor temperature is between 70°F and 80°F (21.11°C and 26.67°C). Follow the procedure below:
  • Unit is factory charged for 15ft (4.57 m) of lineset. Adjust charge by adding or removing 0.6 oz/ft of 3/8 liquid line above or below 15ft (4.57 m) respectively.
  • For standard refrigerant line lengths (80 ft/24.38 m or less), allow system to operate in high-stage cooling mode at least 15 minutes. If conditions are favorable, check system charge by subcooling method. If any adjustment is necessary, adjust charge slowly and allow system to operate for 15 minutes to stabilize before declaring a properly charged system.
  • If the indoor temperature is above 80°F (26.67°C), and the outdoor temperature is in the favorable range, adjust system charge by weight based on line length and allow the indoor temperature to drop to 80°F (26.67°C) before attempting to check system charge by subcooling method as described above.
  • If the indoor temperature is below 70°F (21.11°C), or the outdoor temperature is not in the favorable range, adjust charge for line set length above or below 15ft (4.57 m) only. Charge level should then be appropriate for the system to achieve rated capacity. The charge level could then be checked at another time when the both indoor and outdoor temperatures are in a more favorable range.

NOTE: If line length is beyond 80 ft (24.38 m) or greater than 20 ft (6.10 m) vertical separation, See Long Line Guideline for special charging requirements.

Final Checks
IMPORTANT: Before leaving job, be sure to do the following:

  1. Ensure that all wiring is routed away from tubing and sheet metal edges to prevent rub-through or wire pinching.
  2. Ensure that all wiring and tubing is secure in unit before adding panels and covers. Securely fasten all panels and covers.
  3. Tighten service valve stem caps to 1/12-turn past finger tight.
  4. Leave Owner’s Manual with owner. Explain system operation and periodic maintenance requirements outlined in manual.
  5. Fill out Dealer Installation Checklist and place in customer file.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the compressor fails to operate with a cooling call, Table 3 can be used to verify if there is any damage to the compressor windings causing system malfunction.
Table 3 – Winding ResistanceAIRQUEST-N4A7T-Split-System-2-Stage-Air-
Conditioner-fig-10

Troubleshooting for proper switching between low- and high-stages
Check the suction pressures at the service valves. Suction pressure should be reduced by 3-10% when switching from low to high stage.

NOTE: The liquid pressures are very similar between low- and high-stage operation, so liquid pressure should not be used for troubleshooting.
Compressor current should increase 20 to 45% when switching from low to high stage. The compressor solenoid when energized in high stage, should measure 24vac at the leads inside control box.
When the compressor is operating in low stage, the 24v DC compressor solenoid coil is de-energized. When the compressor is operating in high stage, the 24v DC solenoid coil is energized.
The solenoid plug harness that is connected to the compressor has an internal rectifier that converts the 24v AC signal to 24v DC.

DO NOT INSTALL A PLUG WITHOUT AN INTERNAL RECTIFIER.
Unloader Test Procedure:
The unloader is the compressor internal mechanism, controlled by the DC solenoid, that modulates between high- and low-stage. If it is suspected that the unloader is not working, the following methods may be used to verify operation:

  1. Operate the system and measure compressor amperage. Cycle the unloader on and off at 30 second plus intervals at the thermostat (from low- to high-stage and back to low-stage). Wait 10 seconds after staging to high before taking a reading. The compressor amperage should go up or down at least 20 percent.
  2. If step one does not give the expected results, remove the solenoid plug from the compressor and, with the unit running and the Thermostat calling for high-stage, test the voltage output at the plug with a DC voltmeter. The reading should be 24 volts DC.
  3. If the correct DC voltage is at the control circuit molded plug, measure the compressor unloader coil resistance. The resistance should be approximately 1640 milliohms. If the coil resistance is infinite or is grounded, the compressor must be replaced.

MAJOR COMPONENTS

2-Stage Compressor
The 2-stage compressor contains motor windings that provide 2-pole (3500 RPM) operation.

Compressor Internal Relief
The compressor is protected by an internal pressure relief (IPR) which relieves discharge gas into compressor shell when differential between suction and discharge pressures exceed 550 – 625 psi. The compressor is also protected by an internal overload attached to motor windings.

Compressor Control Contactor
The contactor has a 24 volt coil and is controlled by Y1 input from the thermostat

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

For continuing high performance and to minimize possible equipment failure, periodic maintenance must be performed on this equipment. Frequency of maintenance may vary depending upon geographic areas, such as coastal applications. See Owner’s Manual for information.
