Failure to follow this warning may result in personal injury or death.

Inspection
Responsibility should be assigned to a dependable individual at the job site to receive material. Each shipment should be carefully checked against the bill of lading. The shipping receipt should not be signed until all items listed on the bill of lading have been accounted. Check carefully for concealed damage. Any shortage or damages should be reported to the delivering carrier. Damaged material becomes the delivering carrier’s responsibility, and should not be returned to the manufacturer unless prior approval is given to do so. When uncrating, care should be taken to prevent damage. Heavy equipment should be left on its shipping base until it has been moved to the final location. Check the serial tag information with invoice. Report any discrepancies to your Heatcraft Refrigeration Products Sales

Representative.
Units are pressurized with dry air or inert gas. The absence of pressure does not verify a leak. Check the coil for leaks before installing or returning it to your wholesaler.

Unit Cooler Mounting
Most evaporators can be mounted with rod hangers, lag screws, or bolts. Use 5/16″ bolt and washers or rod for up to 250 pounds, 3/8″ for up to 600 pounds and 5/8″ for over 600 pounds. Care should be taken to mount the units level so that condensate drains properly. Note that some unit cooler designs achieve drain pan slope by using different height mounting brackets. In this situation, the top of the mounting brackets should be level. Adequate support must be provided to hold the weight of the unit.
When using rod hangers, allow adequate space between the top of the unit and the ceiling for cleaning. To comply with NSF Standard 7, the area above the unit cooler must be sealed or exposed in such a way to facilitate hand cleaning without the use of tools. When lagging or bolting the unit flush to the ceiling, seal the joint between the top and the ceiling with an NSF listed sealant and ends of open hanger channels must be sealed to prevent accumulation of foreign matter.
When locating unit coolers in a cooler or freezer, refer to Figures 1 through 4 for guidelines.

NOTE: Always avoid placement of Unit Coolers direct above doors and door openings.

Defrost Troubleshooting

Fan Motor
If the motor does not operate or it cycles on thermal overload, remove motor leads from terminal block and apply correct voltage across the leads. If motor still does not operate satisfactorily, it must be replaced. Before starting the unit, rotate fan blades to make sure they turn freely and have sufficient clearance.
Fan Delay & Defrost Termination Control
This control is a single pole double throw switch. The red lead wire is wired to common. The black wire is wired in series with the fan motors. The brown wire is wired in series with the defrost termination solenoid in the timer. The brown and red contacts close and the black and red contacts open when the temperature is above 55˚F. The black and red contacts close and the brown and red contacts open when the temperature is below 35˚F.
On initial “pull down” of a warm box the fan will not start until the coil temperature reaches approximately 35˚F. If the box is still comparatively warm (60˚F) when the fan starts, then blowing this warm air over the coil may cause it to warm up to 55˚F and thus stop the fan. Therefore, the fan may recycle on initial “pull down.” This control cannot be adjusted.
If the fan motor fails to start when the control is below 35˚F, disconnect the fan motor leads and check the motor as described for fan motors. Also check whether current is being supplied at “N” and “4” from the timer. The fan delay control must be below 35˚F when checking for a closed circuit.

Defrost Heater
If unit shows very little or no defrosting and does not heat, disconnect heater and check to find if it is burned out. To test, apply correct voltage across heater or use continuity flashlight battery tester.

Drain Pan
If drain pan has an ice build-up, drain line may be frozen. The drain line should be pitched sharply and exit cabinet as quickly as possible. Sometimes location and ambient at the drain outside of cabinet may cause freeze-up. A drain line heater may be required to correct the freeze-up. Any traps in the drain line must be located in a warm ambient.

Field Wiring
The field wiring should enter the areas as provided on the unit. The wiring diagram for each unit is located on the inside of the electrical panel door. All field wiring should be done in a professional manner and in accordance with all governing codes. Before operating unit, double check all wiring connections, including the factory terminals. Factory connections can vibrate loose during shipment.

1. The serial data tag on the unit is marked with the electrical characteristic for wiring the unit.
2. Consult the wiring diagram in the unit cooler and in the condensing unit for proper connections.
3. Wire type should be of copper conductor only and of the proper size to handle the connected load.
4. The unit must be grounded.
5. For multiple evaporator systems, the defrost termination controls should be wired in series. Follow the wiring diagrams for multiple evaporator systems carefully. This will assure complete defrost of all evaporators in the system.
6. Multiple evaporator systems should operate off of one thermostat.
7. If a remote defrost timer is to be used, the timer should be located outside the refrigerated space.

WARNING: All wiring must be done in accordance with applicable codes and local ordinances.

Condensate Drain Lines
Either copper or steel drain lines should be used and properly protected from freezing. In running drain lines, provide a minimum 1/4 inch per foot pitch for proper drainage. Drain lines should be at least as large as the evaporator drain connection. All plumbing connections should be made in accordance with local plumbing codes. All condensate drain lines must be trapped, and run to an open drain. They must never be connected directly to the sewer system. Traps in the drain line must be located in a warm ambient. We recommend a trap on each evaporator drain line prior to any tee connections. Traps located outside, or extensive outside runs of drain line must be wrapped with a drain line heater and covered with 3/8″ minimum thickness pipe insulation. The heater should be connected so that it operates continuously. It is recommended that the drain line be insulated to prevent heat loss. A heat input of 20 watts per linear foot of drain line for 0˚F (-18˚C) room applications and 30 watts per linear foot for -20˚F (-29˚C) rooms is satisfactory. In freezers, the evaporator drain pan fitting should be included when heating and insulating the drain line.

Inspect drain pan periodically to insure free drainage of condensate. If drain pan contains standing water, check for proper installation. The drain pan should be cleaned regularly with warm soapy water.

WARNING: All power must be disconnected before cleaning. Drain pan also serves as cover of hazardous moving parts. Operation of unit without drain pan constitutes a hazard.

Traps on low temperature units must be outside of refrigerated enclosures. Traps subject to freezing temperatures must be wrapped with heat tape and insulated.

NOTE: Always avoid placement of Unit Coolers direct above doors  and door openings.

Check Out and Start Up

WARNING: All adjustable controls and valves must be field adjusted to meet desired operation. There are no factory preset controls or valve adjustments. This includes low pressure, high pressure, adjustable head pressure systems and expansion valves.

After the installation has been completed, the following points should be covered before the system is placed in operation:

• Check all electrical and refrigerant connections.
  Be sure they are all tight.

• Check the room thermostat for normal operation and adjust.

• Wiring diagrams, instruction bulletins, etc. attached to the condensing units should be read and filed for future reference.

• All fan motors on evaporators should be checked for proper rotation. Fan motor mounts should be carefully checked for tightness and proper alignment.

• Electric and hot gas evaporator fan motors should be temporarily wired for continuous operation until the room temperature has stabilized.

• Do not leave unit unattended until the system has reached normal operating conditions and the oil charge has been properly adjusted to maintain the oil level between 1/4 and bottom of the sight glass.

• Make sure all Schrader valve caps are in place and tight.

Operational Check Out
After the system has been charged and has operated for at least two hours at normal operating conditions without any indication of malfunction, it should be allowed to operate overnight on automatic controls. Then a thorough recheck of the evaporator operation should be made as follows:

• Check liquid line sight glass and expansion valve operation.
  If there are indications that more refrigerant is required, leak test all connections and system components and repair any leaks before adding refrigerant.

• Thermostatic expansion valves must be checked for proper superheat settings. Sensing bulbs must be in positive contact with the suction line and should be insulated. Valves set at high super- heat will lower refrigeration capacity. Low superheat promotes liquid slugging and compressor bearing washout.

• Check defrost controls for initiation and termination settings and length of defrost period. Set fail safe at length of defrost + 25%.
  Example: 20 minute defrost + 5 minutes = 25 minute fail safe

• Check drain pan for proper drainage.

• Install instruction card and control system diagram for use of building manager or owner.

Evaporator Superheat
Check Your Superheat. After the box temperature has reached or is close to reaching the desired temperature, the evaporator superheat should be checked and adjustments made if necessary. Generally, systems with a design TD of 10˚F should have a superheat value of 6˚ to 10˚F for maximum efficiency. For systems operating at higher TD’s, the superheat can be adjusted to 12˚ to 15˚F as required.

NOTE: Minimum compressor suction superheat of 20˚F may override these recommendations on some systems with short line runs.

To properly determine the superheat of the evaporator, the following procedure is the method Heat craft recommends:

WARNING: If the condensing unit has no flooded condenser head pressure control, the condensing unit must have the discharge pressure above the equivalent 105 ˚F condensing pressure.

1. Measure the temperature of the suction line at the point the bulb is clamped.
2. Obtain the suction pressure at the access port located on the suction outlet header.
3. Convert the pressure obtained in 2. above to saturated evaporator temperature by using a temperature-pressure chart.
4. Subtract the saturated temperature from the actual suction line temperature. The difference is Superheat.

Refrigerant Glide
To reach EPA-mandated lower global warming potential (GWP) levels, the commercial refrigeration industry has increasingly turned to refrigerant blends.
These blends are non-toxic, non-flammable and operate within the typical commercial refrigeration operating pressures.

Refrigerant blends such as R-404A, R-407A, R-407C, R-407F, R-448A and R-449A are a mixture of components that retain their individual evaporating and condensing points.

The range of temperature where these individual components evaporate or condense at a constant pressure called refrigerant glide.

With R-404A, the refrigerant glide is approximately 1F and can generally be ignored.

With R-407A, R-407C, R-407F, R-448A and R-449A refrigerant glide is much higher (6-10˚F) and yields greater evaporator capacity (with colder evaporator surface temperatures) than R-404A at the same dew point evaporating temperature.

Two Speed EC Motors
Unit coolers may be equipped with energy saving two-speed EC fan motors which run at full speed during active refrigeration and at a lower speed during the refrigeration off-cycle when room temperature has been reached.

Most unit coolers with two-speed EC motors require field wiring to provide a control input to the motors via a factory-installed relay. Refer to the following table for requirements:

Hot Gas Defrost Systems
Hot Gas Defrost systems can be described as reverse cycle, re-evap., or alternating evaporator. Please see manual H-IM-HGD for Mohave™ systems on Heatcraft Website: www.heatcraftrpd.com

Refrigerant Piping
Install all refrigerant components in accordance with applicable local and national codes and in accordance with good practice for proper system operation. The thermostatic expansion valve must be the externally equalized type. It can be mounted inside the unit end compartment. Mount the expansion valve bulb on a horizontal run of suction line as close as possible to the suction header. Use the clamps provided with the valve to fasten the bulb securely so there is a tight line-to-line contact between the bulb and the suction line. Suction and hot gas connections are made on the outside of the unit.
Suction lines should be sloped towards the compressor at the rate of one (1) inch per ten (10) feet for good oil return. Vertical risers of more than four (4) feet should be trapped at the bottom with a P-trap. If a P-trap is used, the expansion valve bulb should be installed between the unit and the trap.

Reverse Cycle System
The hot gas unit coolers can be used in reverse cycle hot gas defrost systems using multiple evaporators connected to one condensing unit. Generally, not more than one-third of the system defrosts at one time. During the reverse cycle defrost, the reversing valve, located in the compressor discharge line, diverts hot gas through the suction line to the evaporator.

See the piping view in the Reverse Cycle Defrost Piping diagram. The suction line check valve directs the hot gas through the drain pan loop which prevents condensate in the pan from freezing. The hot gas exits the loop at the pan loop outlet header and enters the evaporator through the check valve assembly. As the hot gas defrosts the coil, heat is removed from the hot gas and eventually it condenses into a liquid and exits the coil at the distributor side port. The liquid then flows through the check valve of the thermostatic expansion valve bypass assembly, around the thermostatic expansion valve, and into the system liquid line. The liquid refrigerant then feeds other evaporators on the cooling cycle, evaporates, and returns to the compressor through their suction lines.

REVERSE CYCLE DEFROST PIPING

Three Pipe System
The three pipe system (sometimes called re-evap.) uses three pipes: one for liquid line, one for suction line, and one for hot gas line. In addition, a re- evaporator accumulator is used at the suction outlet of the evaporator. The hot gas is taken from the discharge line between the compressor and the condenser, through a hot gas solenoid valve, then to the evaporator drain pan circuit, distributor tee, through the coil. See the Three-Pipe Defrost Piping Diagram for typical piping at the evaporator coil.

Alternating Evaporator System
In the alternating evaporator hot gas defrost system, a third line is taken off the compressor discharge line as the re-evap system. It is piped with solenoids at each evaporator, so that hot gas defrost is accomplished on one or more evaporators while the remaining evaporators continue to function in a normal manner. The liquid from defrosting evaporators is reintroduced to the main liquid line and it is necessary that 75% or greater capacity be retained in the normal refrigeration cycle to offset the capacity that is being removed by the units on the hot gas defrost.

IMPORTANT: It is imperative that with the alternating evaporator hot gas defrost system, no more that 25% of the operating refrigeration load be in defrost at any time.

Note: Use next larger hot gas line size for -200F. and lower suction temperatures.

CO2 Unit Coolers
CO2 unit coolers function in much the same way as standard HFC unit coolers with some exceptions. This section describes recommendations and requirements unique to CO2 unit coolers.

1. Unit Cooler design pressure is marked on the data plate. CO2 refrigeration system must be designed to not exceed this design pressure.
2. Proper pressure relief means must be provided for the Unit Cooler externally. Pressure relief valves provide safety measures during circumstances such as power outages, natural disasters, or system malfunction that may cause abnormal operation and high pressure in the system. Relief valves must be installed in the system to protect the suction and liquid sides. Please refer to project system documentation (not supplied with the Unit Cooler) for guidance.
3. Proper piping methods must be followed to avoid trapping liquid in the lines. Please refer to project system piping drawings (not supplied with the Unit Cooler) for guidance.
4. Gauges designed for CO2 with proper pressure ratings must be used.

Electronic Thermostats
Electronic Thermostats are available as option packages (See Pricelist for details). They provide improved reliability and accuracy over traditional electromechanical controls, faster response time to temperature changes and more stable box temperature control. They come with a functionality that can be enabled in the field to act as an air defrost time clock. This allows for the elimination of the air defrost time clock on the Condensing Unit as well as wiring between the Unit Cooler & Condensing Unit.

6. To exit the Basic menu and go to the Advanced menu, simultaneously press and hold Down and Up, for 5 seconds.

Setting up a regular or timed Defrost Off-Cycle
The following behavior is enforced:

• At power up, the initial Defrost Interval (dI) does not have a Defrost Cycle (dFt).
• Subsequent defrost intervals (dI) begin with the selected dFt value.
• All defrost intervals have the same length. To set up a regular or timed defrost cycle:

1. Select a dI value between 2 hours and 24 hours.
2. Select a dFt value between 1 minute and 99 minutes.
   See Figure 9.

Control behavior when manually starting or stopping a Defrost Off- Cycle
The following behavior is enforced:

• Manually start a Defrost Cycle. The control returns to normal On/Off operation after the defrost cycle time (dFt) is complete.
• Manually stop a Defrost Cycle. The defrost cycle time (dFt) is terminated and the control is returned to normal On/Off operation.

Manually starting and stopping a Defrost Cycle (SdF)
In this task you manually Start/Stop a Defrost Cycle (SdF).

1. Select a Defrost Interval (dI) value of 0.
2. Select a dFt value between 1 minute and 99 minutes.
3. Select an SdF parameter value of 1 during normal On/Off operation to start a defrost cycle.
   • Or, change the SdF value to 0 during a defrost cycle and return to normal On/Off operation. See Fig. 10 below.

Figure 10:
Manual Defrost only: behavior when dI is set to 0

Control behavior when starting or stopping an automatically enabled Defrost Off-Cycle

The following behavior is enforced:

• At power up, the initial Defrost Interval (dI) does not initiate a Defrost Cycle Time (dFt).
• A defrost cycle occurs at the beginning of each subsequent defrost interval.
• You can start or stop a defrost cycle using the SdF parameter or binary input (BIN).
• Starting a defrost cycle terminates the defrost interval (dI) and starts a new defrost cycle.
• Stopping a defrost cycle terminates the dFt and continues the current defrost interval (dI) until the start of the next regular dI and defrost cycle.

Starting or stopping a Defrost Cycle using the SdF parameter

1. To start or stop a Defrost Cycle using the SdF parameter, choose from the following options.
   • Select a Start/Stop Defrost Cycle (SdF) parameter value of 1.
   • Or, change the SdF value to 0(zero) during a dFt to stop a defrost cycle and return the control to normal On/Off operation. See Figure 11.

Starting or stopping a Defrost Cycle using the binary input (BIN)
In this task, you start or stop a Defrost Cycle using the Binary Input (BIN).

1. Connect a momentary contact switch between BIN and COM on the T3 terminal block.

Each time the momentary contact switch is pressed, the defrost cycle starts or stops depending on whether the defrost cycle is running or not. See Figure 11.

Slim Contour Exclusive Information
The Slim Contour has several exclusive features that improve the serviceability.
Cassette Removal/Replacement
Removal of modular cassettes in the Slim Contour improve access and the speed required to service the unit cooler.

1. Turn off electrical feed to the unit.
2. Remove the fan guard (2 Screws).
3. Remove screws from modular cassette and pull cassette forward, but do not fully remove cassette. (Figure 14)
4. With the cassette slightly removed, reach behind the cassette and unplug wired connection. This will separate the cassette from unit cooler. (Figure 15)
5. Once the cassette has been removed from the unit cooler, the cassette can be stored on the unit by using the service clip feature. (Figure 16)
6. To reinstall cassette, reconnect plug and slide cassette back into place. Re-secure the cassette by placing screws in place.

Service Clip Features
The Slim Contour features a service clip on all of its modular cassettes.
The service clip is exclusive to Slim Contour cassettes and is designed to improve the serviceability of the unit cooler. The service clip features two separate hooks that can be used to aide in common maintenance.
The service clip that is featured on top of the cassettes motor can be used to suspend the cassette while being removed to assist in removing the power connection of the cassette (Figure 17). The Slim Contour cassette also can be suspended from the drain pan using the screw mounts(Figure 18)
