Start–Up

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

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in environmental damage.
Federal regulations require that you do not vent refrigerant to the atmosphere. Recover during system repair or final unit disposal

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.
• Do not disable low pressure switch in scroll compressor applications.
• Compressor dome temperatures may be hot

Follow these steps to properly start up system:

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.
Do not use power tools to open and close service valves
Power tools can cause valve stem to suddenly be ejected from the valve body followed by a high pressure refrigerant leak.

1. After system is evacuated, fully 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. Be sure set point is below indoor ambient temperature for cooling mode operation.
5. Set room thermostat to HEAT or COOL and fan control to ON or AUTO mode, as desired. Operate unit for 15 minutes. Check system refrigerant charge.

Sequence of Operation

Turn on power to indoor and outdoor units. Transformer is energized.

Cooling

On a call for cooling, thermostat makes circuits R–O and R–Y, and R–G.
Circuit R–O energizes reversing valve, switching it to cooling position.
Circuit R–Y energizes contactor, starting outdoor fan motor and compressor circuit. R–G energizes indoor unit blower relay, starting indoor blower motor on high speed.
When thermostat is satisfied, its contacts open, de–energizing contactor and blower relay. Compressor and motors should stop.
If indoor unit is equipped with a time–delay relay circuit, the indoor blower will run an additional 90 seconds to increase system efficiency.

Heating

On a call for heating, thermostat makes circuits R–Y and R–G. Circuit R–Y energizes contactor, starting outdoor fan motor and compressor. Circuit R–G energizes indoor blower relay, starting blower motor on high speed.
Should temperature continue to fall, R–W2 is made through second– stage room thermostat. Circuit R–W2 energizes a relay, bringing on first bank of supplemental electric heat and providing electrical potential to second heater relay (if used). If outdoor temperature falls below setting of outdoor thermostat (field installed option), contacts close to complete circuit and bring on second bank of supplemental electric heat. When thermostat is satisfied, its contacts open, de–energizing contactor and relay. All heaters and motors should stop.

Quiet Shift-2

Quiet Shift-2 is a field selectable defrost mode (factory set to OFF), which will reduce the occasional noise that could be heard at the start of defrost cycle and restarting of heating cycle. It is selected by placing DIP switch 3 on defrost board in the ON position.
When Quiet Shift-2 switch is placed in ON position, and defrost is initiated, the following sequence of operation will occur:

• The compressor will be de–energized for approximately 1 minute, then the reversing valve will be energized. A few seconds later, the compressor will be re-energized and the normal defrost cycle starts. Once defrost termination conditions have been met, the following sequence will occur:
• The compressor will be de-energized for approximately 1 minute, then the reversing valve will be de-energized. A few seconds later, the compressor will be re-energized and the normal heating cycle starts.

Defrost

The defrost control is a time/temperature control which includes a field selectable time period between defrost cycles (30, 60, 90, or 120). The time period is selected using DIP switches located on the board. The setting is initial period only then varies with defrost length.
The defrost thermostat senses coil temperature throughout the heating cycle. When the coil temperature reaches the defrost thermostat setting of approximately 32°F (0°C), it will close, which energizes the DFT terminal and begins the defrost timing sequence. The timer runs only when the defrost thermostat is closed and the contactor is energized.
Defrost mode is identical to cooling mode except that outdoor fan motor stops and second-stage heat is turned on to continue warming conditioned spaces.

Defrost Speedup

Quiet Shift-2 Models

To initiate a forced defrost, speedup pins (J1) must be shorted with a flat head screwdriver for 5 seconds and RELEASED. If the defrost thermostat is open, a short defrost cycle will be observed (actual length depends on Quiet Shift-2 switch position). When Quiet Shift-2 is off, only a short 30 second defrost cycle is observed. With Quiet Shift-2 ON, the speedup sequence is approximately 3 minutes; 1 minute compressor off period followed by 30 seconds of defrost with compressor operation. When returning to heating mode, the compressor will turn off for an additional minute.

If the defrost thermostat is closed, a complete defrost cycle is initiated. If the Quiet Shift-2 switch is turned on, the compressor will be turned off for two 1-minute intervals as explained previously.

If Quiet Shift 2 is enabled, the variable defrost intervals will be disabled to provide options where using a specific setting is desired. In this case the 30, 60, 90, or 120 setting will not change unless the dipswitch is changed, and power is cycled.

NOTE: Forcing a defrost will reset the defrost interval to the DIP switch setting before resuming variable length intervals based on defrost cycle lengths.

Check Charge

Factory charge amount and desired subcooling are shown on unit rating plate. Additional subcooling may be required to achieve optimal heating performance based on the installed indoor unit.. Care should be taken to ensure proper refrigerant is used for charging. Refer to outdoor unit rating plate to determine proper refrigerant. Refrigerant cylinders used for charging should be kept in an appropriate position and grounded to earth before charging. Hose length should be kept to a minimum. Care should be taken to not overcharge the system. Charging method is shown on information plate inside unit. For TXV, use subcooling method. For piston, use superheat method. To properly check or adjust charge, conditions must be favorable for subcooling or superheat charging. Favorable conditions exist when the outdoor temperature is between 70°F and 100°F (21.1°C and 37.8°C), and the indoor temperature is between 70°F and 80°F (21.1°C and 26.7°C). Follow the procedure below:

Unit is factory charged for 15ft (5 m) of linseed. Adjust charge by adding or removing 0.6 oz/ft (.018 kg/m) of 3/8 liquid line above or below 15ft (5 m) respectively.

For standard refrigerant line lengths (80 ft/24 m or less), allow system to operate in cooling mode at least 15 minutes. If conditions are favorable, check system charge by super heat method for fixed metering device and subcooling method for TXV. 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 (26.7°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 (26.7°C) before attempting to check system charge by subcooling method as described above.

If the indoor temperature is below 70°F (21.1°C), or the outdoor temperature is not in the favorable range, adjust charge for line set length above or below 15ft (5 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 m) or greater than 20 ft (6 m) vertical separation, See Residential Piping and Long Line Guideline for special charging requirements.

Final charge should be recorded on the outdoor unit charging label with permanent and legible writing. Total refrigerant charge is factory charge plus any added charge. Verify that the indoor space served by the indoor unit, including spaces connected by ductwork, exceed the minimum room size as listed on the outdoor unit charging label. Refer to Table 4.

Table 4 – Minimum Room Area Charging Table

Units with Cooling Mode TXV

Units installed with cooling mode TXV require charging by the subcooling method.

1. Operate unit a minimum of 15 minutes before checking charge.
2. Measure liquid service valve pressure by attaching an accurate gage to service port.
3. Measure liquid line temperature by attaching an accurate thermistor type or electronic thermometer to liquid line near outdoor coil.
4. Refer to unit rating plate for required subcooling temperature.
5. Refer to Table 5. Find the point where required subcooling temperature intersects measured liquid service valve pressure.
6. To obtain required subcooling temperature at a specific liquid line pressure, add refrigerant if liquid line temperature is higher than indicated or reclaim refrigerant if temperature is lower. Allow a tolerance of ±3°F (±1.7°C).

Heating Check Chart Procedure

To check system operation during heating cycle, refer to the Heating Check Chart on outdoor unit. This chart indicates whether a correct relationship exists between system operating pressure and air temperature entering indoor and outdoor units. If pressure and temperature do not match on chart, system refrigerant charge may not be correct. Do not use chart to adjust refrigerant charge
