Utility Entry
Figure 8 – Back View of Utility Entry and Power Switch from Control Compartment
(75-140 ton Units)
Note: All units are factory wired for 208V, 230V, 380V, 460V, or 575V. The transformer configuration must be checked by a qualified technician prior to service, especially if unit is to be connected to a 208V or 230V supply. For 208V service interchange the yellow and red conductor on the low voltage control transformer.
Red-Black for 208V Yellow-Black for 230V
Wire power leads to the unit’s terminal block or main disconnect. All wiring beyond this point has been completed by the manufacturer and cannot be modified without effecting the unit’s agency/safety certification.
Supply voltage must be within the min/max range shown on the unit nameplate. Available short circuit current must not exceed the short circuit current rating (SCCR) shown on the unit nameplate.

CAUTION
Three phase voltage imbalance will cause motor overheating and premature failure.
Three phase voltage imbalance will cause motor overheating and premature failure. The maximum allowable imbalance is 2%.
Voltage imbalance is defined as 100 times the maximum deviation from the average voltage divided by the average voltage.
Example: (221V+230V+227V)/3 = 226V, then 100*(226V-221V)/226V = 2.2%, which exceeds the allowable imbalance.
Check voltage imbalance at the unit disconnect switch and at the compressor terminal. Contact your local power company for line voltage corrections.
Installing contractor must check for proper motor rotation and check blower motor amperage listed on the motor nameplate is not exceeded. Motor overload protection may be a function of the variable frequency drive and must not be bypassed.
CAUTION
Rotation must be checked on all MOTORS AND COMPRESSORS of three phase units. Supply fan, exhaust fan, return fan, and condenser fan motors must all be checked by a qualified service technician at startup and any wiring alteration must only be made at the unit power connection.

34

CAUTION
Scroll compressors are directional and will be damaged by operation in the wrong direction. Low pressure switches on compressors have been disconnected after factory testing. Rotation must be checked by a qualified service technician at startup using suction and discharge pressure gauges and any wiring alteration must only be made at the unit power connection.

Wire control signals to the unit’s low voltage terminal block located in the controls compartment.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers The interrupting rating of fuses and circuit breakers is to be determined based on the KAIC rating of the unit. Refer to the wiring diagram for fuse sizing.

No variable speed compressor shall operate below 35 Hz. Operating variable speed compressors outside the frequency range specified in this manual voids all warranties and may result in compressor failure.

Thermostat Control Wiring If a thermostat is used for unit control, locate the thermostat on an inside wall 1.2-1.5 meters (4-5 feet) above the floor where it will not be subjected to drafts, sun exposure, or heat from electrical fixtures of appliances. Control wiring must deliver adequate voltage to components to assure proper operation. Control voltage returning from controller circuit must be a minimum of 21 VAC. To assure proper wiring use the following chart to determine the allowable wiring distances.

Take the total wire distance allowable and divide by the quantity of wires to be connected. This indicates the distance allowable for that size wire. The wiring to the unit must not exceed the total wire distance allowable. If the voltage at the connectors is less than 21 VAC, isolation relays must be installed. If under external control 21 VAC must be field verified.

All external devices must be powered via a separate external power supply.

Example: A total of 8 wires must be pulled 75ft to a control the unit. What size wire must be used?

According to the Table 6, 16 AWG allows for 63ft (500 ft/8 wires) and 14 AWG allows for 94ft (750 ft/8 wires). Thus, 14 AWG must be used.

CAUTION
Ensure that wires are protected from damage and wear caused by normal operation of unit and environmental factors.

Condensate Drain Piping RN Series E Cabinet units are equipped with two condensate drain connections, one on the left side of the unit and one on the right side of the unit. P-traps must be field provided and installed.
All drain connections must be used and individually trapped to ensure a minimum amount of condensate accumulation in the drain pans. Use ABS type cement to join the drain pipe connections.
Note: The drain pan connections are 38 mm (1.5″) MPT fitting.
Drainage of condensate directly onto the roof may be acceptable in certain areas, refer to local codes. If condensate is to drain directly onto the roof, place a small drip pad below the drain to protect the roof from possible damage.
If condensate is piped into the building drainage system, the drain pipe must penetrate the roof external to the unit itself. The drain line must be pitched away from the unit at least 3.2mm (1/8 inch) per foot. On longer runs an air break must be used to ensure proper drainage.
CAUTION
Unit must not be operated without a ptrap. Failure to install a p-trap may result in overflow of condensate water into the unit.
Draw-through cooling coils will have a negative static pressure in the drain pan area. This will cause an un-trapped drain to back up due to air being pulled up through the condensate drain piping.

36

Condensate drain trapping and piping must conform to all applicable governing codes.
Draw-Through Coils
Figure 9 – Draw-Through Drain Trap
The X dimension on the draw-through trap must be at least equal to the absolute value of the negative static pressure in the drain pan plus one inch. To calculate the static pressure at the drain pan add the pressure drops of all components upstream of the drain pan, including the cooling coil, and add the return duct static pressure. Include the dirt allowance pressure drop for the filters to account for the worst-case scenario.
The height from top of the bottom bend of the trap to the bottom of the leaving pipe must be at least equal to one half of the X dimension. This ensures that enough water is stored in the trap to prevent losing the drain seal during unit startup
Note: The absolute value of the fan inlet pressure will always be greater than or equal to the absolute value of the static pressure in the drain pan on draw-through units, so the fan inlet pressure is a safe value to use for the drain pan static pressure.

CAUTION
All condensate drains must be trapped individually before they are connected to a common line.
CAUTION
All condensate drain connections must be used. Drain pans are sloped towards connections.
Startup
(See back of the manual for startup form.)
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Startup and service must be performed by a Factory Trained Service Technician.
WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Shut off all electrical power to the unit to avoid shock hazard or injury from rotating parts.
During startup, it is necessary to perform routine checks on the performance of the unit. This includes checking the air flow, air filters, condenser water flow, dampers, heaters, and refrigerant charge.

Filters Do not operate the unit without filters in place. Check the unit for correct filter placement during startup. Operation of the equipment without filters will result in a clogged evaporator coil.
Metal Mesh Filters Metal mesh filters are washable expanded aluminum mesh filters that are mounted over the outside air intake. These filters are normally located on the outside air hood. These filters are commonly used to prevent moisture carryover from the outside. An access panel is provided to slide out the filters for cleaning.
Airflow Balancing and Checking High performance systems commonly have complex air distribution and fan systems. Unqualified personnel must not attempt to adjust fan operation, or air circulation, as all systems have unique operations characteristics. Professional air balance specialists must be employed to establish actual operating conditions, and to configure the air delivery system for optimal performance.
Air Flow Monitoring Some units include an air flow monitoring device. Air flow can be measured either at the outside air opening, supply fans and/or return fans. Outside air uses a measuring grid and the fans use a piezo ring on their inlets to collect this information. A singular processor located in the vestibule handles all of these different readings.
Supply Fans RN Series E Cabinet units are equipped with direct drive backward curved plenum fan assemblies that are selected to deliver the air volume specified according to unit size and job requirements. This is done with variable

38

frequency drives. Field airflow adjustment may be required at startup.

Air Flow Adjustment For single set screw applications, tighten the set screw to the required torque setting (Table 9) using a calibrated torque wrench. For double set screw applications, tighten one set screw to half of the required torque setting (Table 9) using a calibrated torque wrench. Tighten the second set screw to the full required torque setting then tighten the first set screw to the full required torque setting.

The gap tolerances that are allowed between the blower and the inlet cone for the plenum fan blowers are shown in Figure 10. The inlet cone can be moved as necessary to center the cone in relation to the blower. The blower can be moved on the motor shaft to set the correct overlap. These tolerances are critical to the performance of the blower.

Figure 10 – Plenum Fan Gap Tolerances

CAUTION
Before completing startup and leaving the unit a complete operating cycle must be observed to verify that all components are functioning properly.
Adjusting Refrigerant Charge Adjusting the charge of a system in the field must be based on determination of liquid subcooling and evaporator superheat. On a system with an expansion valve liquid subcooling is more representative of the charge than evaporator superheat but both measurements must be taken.
CAUTION
The Clean Air Act of 1990 bans the intentional venting of refrigerant (CFC’s and HCFC’s) as of July 1, 1992. Approved methods of recovery, recycling or reclaiming must be followed. Fines and/or incarceration may be levied for non- compliance.
Before Charging Unit being charged must be at or near full load conditions before adjusting the charge. Units equipped with hot gas reheat must be charged with the hot gas reheat valves closed while the unit is in cooling mode to get the proper charge. After charging, operate the unit in reheat (dehumidification) mode to check for correct operation.
Units equipped with heat pump options must be charged in heating mode to get the proper charge. After charging, operate the unit in cooling mode to check for correct charge. Charge may need to be adjusted for cooling mode. If adjustments are made in the cooling mode heating mode must be rerun to verify proper operation.
39

After adding or removing charge the system must be allowed to stabilize, typically 10-15 minutes, before making any other adjustments.
The type of unit and options determine the ranges for liquid sub-cooling and evaporator superheat. Refer to the table below when determining the proper sub-cooling.
Checking Liquid Sub-Cooling Measure the temperature of the liquid line as it leaves the condenser coil.
Read the gauge pressure at the liquid line close to the point where the temperature was taken. You must use liquid line pressure as it will vary from discharge pressure due to condenser coil pressure drop.
Convert the pressure obtained to a saturated temperature using the appropriate refrigerant temperature-pressure chart.
Subtract the measured liquid line temperature from the saturated temperature to determine the liquid sub-cooling. Compare calculated sub-cooling to the tables below for the appropriate coil and system type and options.
Checking Evaporator Superheat Measure the temperature of the suction line close to the compressor. Read gauge pressure at the suction line close to the compressor.
Convert the pressure obtained to a saturated temperature using the appropriate refrigerant temperature-pressure chart.
Subtract the saturated temperature from the measured suction line temperature to determine the evaporator superheat.

Compare calculated superheat to the tables below for the appropriate coil and system type and options.
CAUTION
Expansion valve must be adjusted to approximately 4.4-8.3°C (8-15°F) of suction superheat. Failure to have sufficient superheat will damage the compressor and void the warranty.

Notes: 1. Microchannel condenser coils are more sensitive to charge. The system must

be running in cooling mode with compressor, supply airflow & condenser fan

speed at full load. The sub-cooling value changes depending on the ambient

temperature reading and the microchannel evaporator coil saturation

temperature. To find the correct sub-cooling value, find the ambient

temperature on the first column and follow that across to the SST (4.4-12.8°C

[40-55°F]).

2. Superheat for Microchannel condenser coils must be between 4.4 and 8.3°C

(8 – 15°F)

41

Adjusting Sub-cooling and Superheat Temperatures The system is overcharged if the sub-cooling temperature is too high and the evaporator is fully loaded (low loads on the evaporator result in increased sub-cooling) and the evaporator superheat is within the temperature range as shown in Table 12 and Table 13 above (high superheat results in increased sub-cooling).
Correct an overcharged system by reducing the amount of refrigerant in the system to lower the sub-cooling.
CAUTION
DO NOT OVERCHARGE!
Refrigerant overcharging leads to excess refrigerant in the condenser coils resulting in elevated compressor discharge pressure. Maximum allowable charge of any single circuit is 133 kg (4700 oz).
The system is undercharged if the superheat is too high and the sub-cooling is too low.
Correct an undercharged system by adding refrigerant to the system to reduce superheat and raise sub-cooling.
If the sub-cooling is correct and the superheat is too high, the expansion valve may need adjustment to correct the superheat.

Freeze Stat Startup Freeze Stat is an adjustable temperature sensor (-23.3°C to 21.1°C [-10 to 70°F]) mounted on the tubing of the first cooling circuit and wired to de-energize all cooling circuits if tubing temperature falls below setpoint. Option is used to prevent freezing of evaporator coil.
Recommended Setting: 0°C to 1.7°C (32° F to 35º F)

Operation

Unit operations must be controlled with thermostat, or unit controller, never at the main power supply, except for servicing, emergency, or complete shutdown of the unit.
Thermostat Operation Heating Thermostat system switch – “Heat” Thermostat fan switch – “Auto” or “On” Thermostat temperature set to desired point.
Cooling Thermostat system switch – “Cool” Thermostat fan switch – “Auto” or “On” Thermostat temperature set to desired point.
Air Circulation Thermostat system switch – “Off” Thermostat fan switch – “Auto” or “On” No change of the thermostat temperature. With these settings, the supply blower will run continuously but the supply air will not be heated, cooled, or dehumidified.
System Off Thermostat system switch – “Off” Thermostat fan switch – “Auto” No change of the thermostat temperature. With these settings the system is shut down, with the exception of control system power.
Night and Weekend Unoccupied Operation To reduce the operating time of the unit when the space is unoccupied, such as nights and weekends, it is recommended that the temperature setting be raised about 5°F while unoccupied during the cooling season and lowered about -12.2°C (10°F) during the heating season.
46

WARNING
COMPRESSOR CYCLING
3 MINUTE MINIMUM OFF TIME To prevent motor overheating compressors must cycle off for a minimum of 3 minutes.
5 MINUTE MINIMUM ON TIME To maintain the proper oil level compressors must cycle on for a minimum of 5 minutes.
The cycle rate must not exceed 7 starts per hour.
Packaged DX Cooling Operation and Control When a call for cooling (G and Y1, Y2, etc.) is made the supply blower motors and compressors will energize.
Note: When using field controls any variable capacity compressors must run at 100% for 1 minute when starting.
Gas Heater Operation When heat (G and W1, W2, etc.) is called for the combustion motor starts and the ignition control is energized. The control sends 24 VAC to the main gas valve and high voltage to the igniter. If a burner flame has been detected within 10 seconds, the spark is extinguished and the flame continues. If a flame has not been detected after 10 seconds, the gas valve closes, the spark ceases and the induced draft blower continues to purge the heat exchanger. After 45 seconds of purge, the ignition system will attempt to light the burners again. Should no flame be detected after 3 tries, the ignition control will lock out the system. Power to the ignition control must be cycled to reset the heater control.
On a fault the gas train is shut down by a main limit located in the heat exchanger area or by

an auxiliary limit mounted in the supply fan compartment.

Electric Heating Operation When a call for heating (G and W1, W2, etc.) is made the supply blower motors and electric resistance heaters will energize. Heating is accomplished by passing electrical current through a specified amount of resistance heaters which will produce the required heat.

On a fault condition the main limit located in the supply air or the auxiliary limit located downstream the supply blower will remove power from all contactors.

Steam or Hot Water Preheating and Heating Operation Valve control for steam and hot water heating coils are by others. Heating is accomplished by passing steam or hot water through the steam or hot water coil assembly.

Chilled Water or Non-Compressorized DX Cooling Operation Controls for chilled water cooling coils and non-compressorized DX coil are by others.

Maintenance
(See back of the manual for maintenance log)

At least once each year, a trained, qualified service technician must check out the unit. Fans, evaporator coils, and filters must be inspected at least monthly.

Supply Fans

WARNING

Electric shock hazard. Shut off all electrical power to the unit to avoid shock hazard or injury from rotating parts.

CAUTION
Blower wheels and bands must be inspected for excessive dust build up periodically and cleaned if required. Excessive dust build up on blower wheels may cause an unbalanced state; leading to vibration and/or component failure. Damages due to excessive dust build up will not be covered under factory warranty.
Lubrication All original fan motors and bearings are furnished with factory lubrication. Some applications will require that bearings be relubricated periodically. The schedule will depend on the operating duty, temperature variations or other severe atmospheric conditions.
Re-lubricate bearings when at normal operating temperatures, but not running. Rotate the fan shaft by hand and add only enough grease to purge the seals. DO NOT OVERLUBRICATE.
Recommended greases are: SHELL OIL – DOLIUM R CHEVRON OIL – SRI No. 2 TEXACO INC. – PREMIUM RB
DX Cooling Set unit controls to cooling mode of operation with supply fans on. Check the fan for correct operating direction, amperage and voltage. Check compressor operation, rotation, amperage and voltage to the unit nameplate (check the amperage on the load side of the compressor contactor).
Condensate Drain Pans Drain pans will have moisture present and require periodic cleaning to prevent microbial growth. Cleaning of the drain pans will also prevent any possible plugging of the drain lines and overflow of the pan itself. Cleaning of the drain pans and inside of the
47

unit must be done only by qualified service technician.
Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger Cleaning Because of a normally high degree of turbulence in brazed plate heat exchangers, for many applications the heat exchanger channels are self cleaning. For applications that are not self cleaning (i.e. hard water at high temperatures, etc.) or applications where additional cleaning is desired, it is possible to clean the brazed plate heat exchanger by circulating a cleaning liquid.
Use a tank with weak acid, 5% phosphoric acid (H3PO4) or, if the exchanger is frequently cleaned, 5% oxalic acid (H2C2O4). Pump the cleaning liquid through the exchanger. For optimum cleaning, the cleaning solution flow rate must be a minimum of 1.5 times the normal flow rate, preferably in a back-flush mode. After cleaning, the heat exchanger must be rinsed with clean water. A solution of 1-2% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO) before the last rinse ensures that all acid is neutralized.
E-Coated Coil Cleaning Documented routine cleaning of e-coated coils is required to maintain coating warranty coverage for fin and tube and microchannel coils. See the AAON E-Coated Coil Maintenance Record sheet.
WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Shut off all electrical power to the unit to avoid shock hazard or injury from rotating parts.
Surface loaded fibers or dirt must be removed prior to water rinse to prevent restriction of airflow. If unable to back wash the side of the coil opposite of the coils entering air side, then surface loaded fibers
48

or dirt must be removed with a vacuum cleaner. If a vacuum cleaner is not available, a soft non-metallic bristle brush may be used. In either case, the tool must be applied in the direction of the fins. Coil surfaces can be easily damaged (fin edges bent over) if the tool is applied across the fins.
Use of a water stream, such as a garden hose, against a surface loaded coil will drive the fibers and dirt into the coil. This will make cleaning efforts more difficult. Surface loaded fibers must be completely removed prior to using low velocity clean water rinse.
A monthly clean water rinse is recommended for coils that are applied in coastal or industrial environments to help to remove chlorides, dirt, and debris. It is very important when rinsing, that water temperature is less than 54.4°C (130°F) and pressure is less than 689.5 kpa (100 psig) to avoid damaging the fin edges. An elevated water temperature (not to exceed 54.4°C [130°F]) will reduce surface tension, increasing the ability to remove chlorides and dirt.
CAUTION
High velocity water from a pressure washer or compressed air must only be used at a very low pressure to prevent fin and/or coil damages. The force of the water or air jet may bend the fin edges and increase airside pressure drop. Reduced unit performance or nuisance unit shutdowns may occur.
Quarterly cleaning is essential to extend the life of an e-coated coil and is required to maintain coating warranty coverage. Coil cleaning shall be part of the unit’s regularly scheduled maintenance procedures. Failure to clean an e-coated coil will void the warranty and may result in reduced efficiency and durability.

CAUTION
Harsh chemicals, household bleach, or acid cleaners must not be used to clean outdoor or indoor e-coated coils. These cleaners can be very difficult to rinse out of the coil and can accelerate corrosion and attack the e-coating. If there is dirt below the surface of the coil, use the recommended coil cleaners.
For routine quarterly cleaning, first clean the coil with the below approved coil cleaner. After cleaning the coils with the approved cleaning agent, use the approved chloride remover to remove soluble salts and revitalize the unit.
Recommended Coil Cleaner The following cleaning agent, when used in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions on the container for proper mixing and cleaning, has been approved for use on e-coated coils to remove mold, mildew, dust, soot, greasy residue, lint, and other particulate:
Enviro-Coil Cleaner: AAON PN: V82540
GulfClean TM Coil Cleaner; AAON PN: G074480
Recommended Chloride Remover GulfClean Salt ReducerTM; AAON PN: G074490
GulfClean Salt ReducerTM is used to remove soluble salts from the e-coated coil, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. This product is not intended for use as a degreaser. Any grease or oil film must first be removed with GulfClean TM Coil Cleaner.
Remove Barrier – First ensure the power to the unit is off and locked out. Clean the area

around the unit if needed to ensure leaves, grass or loose debris will not be blown into the coil. Soluble salts adhere themselves to the substrate. For the effective use of this product, the product must be able to come in contact with the salts. These salts may be beneath any soils, grease or dirt; therefore, these barriers must be removed prior to application of this product. As in all surface preparation, the best work yields the best results.
Application – Apply GulfClean TM Coil Cleaner directly onto the substrate. Sufficient product must be applied uniformly across the substrate to thoroughly wet out surface, with no areas missed. This may be accomplished by use of a pump-up sprayer or conventional spray gun. Apply the cleaner to unit interior air exiting side coil surfaces first. Work in sections/panels moving side to side and from top to bottom. Allow the cleaning solution to soak for 5 to 10 minutes. Then move on to the exterior using the same method.
Rinse – Using pressurized potable water such as a garden hose, (< 689.5 kpa [100 psi]), rinse the coils and continue to always work in sections/panels.
Continue until all coil areas on the inside of the unit have been rinsed. Note: Coils must always be cleaned / back flushed, opposite of airflow to prevent impacting the dirt into the coil.
Repeat these steps with GulfClean TM Salt Reducer. When finished replace all panels and tops that were removed.
Microchannel Coil Cleaning Cleaning microchannel coils is necessary in all locations. In some locations it may be necessary to clean the coils more or less often than recommended. Condenser coil must be cleaned at a minimum of once a year. In locations where there is commonly debris or
49

a condition that causes dirt/grease build up it may be necessary to clean the coils more often. Proper procedure must be followed at every cleaning interval. Using improper cleaning technique or incorrect chemicals will result in coil damage, system performance fall off, and potentially leaks requiring coil replacement.
Documented routine cleaning of microchannel coils with factory provided ecoating is required to maintain coating warranty coverage. Use the E-Coated Coil Cleaning section for details on cleaning ecoated coils.
Field applied coil coatings are not recommended with microchannel coils.
Allowed Chemical Cleaners and Procedures AAON recommends certain chemicals that can be used to remove buildup of grime and debris on the surface of microchannel coils. These chemicals have been tested for performance and safety and are the only chemicals that AAON will warrant as correct for cleaning microchannel coils.
There are two procedures that are outlined below that will clean the coils effectively without damage to the coils. Use of any other procedure or chemical may void the warranty to the unit where the coil is installed. With all procedures make sure the unit is off before starting.
WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Shut off all electrical power to the unit to avoid shock hazard or injury from rotating parts.
The water pressure used to clean must not exceed 100 psi, from no closer than 6 inches from the coils, and with the water aimed perpendicular to the coils.

1 Simple Green Simple Green is available from AAON Parts and Supply (Part

T10701) and is biodegradable with a neutral 6.5 pH A 4 to 1 solution is recommended. Use the following procedure.
1. Rinse the coil completely with water. Use a hard spray but be careful not to bend or damage the fins. A spray that is too hard will bend the fins. Spray from the fan side of the coil.
2. With a pump sprayer filled with a mix of 4 parts water to one part Simple Green spray the air inlet face of the coil. Be sure to cover all areas of the face of the coil.
3. Allow the coil to soak for 10-15 minutes.
4. Rinse the coil with water as in step one. 5. Repeat as necessary.

2 Water Flush This procedure can be used when the only material to cause the

coil to need cleaning is debris from plant material that has impinged the coil face.
1. Rinse the coil completely with water. Use a hard spray but be careful not to bend or damage the fins. A spray that is too hard will bend the fins. Spray from the fan side of the coil.
2. Spray and rinse the coil from the face.
CAUTION
Use pressurized clean water, with pressure not to exceed 689.5 kpa (100 psi). Nozzle must be 15.25 centimeters (6″) and perpendicular to the coil face. Failure to do so could result in coil damage.

Application Examples The two procedures can be used to clean microchannel coils. They will fit with the application depending on the area. In some areas where the spring/summer has a large cottonwood bloom #2 might work fine if the unit is installed on an office building and no other environmental factors apply.
Generally the best and broadest based procedure is #1. The grease cutting effect of the Simple Green is good for restaurant applications.
Other Coil Cleaners There are many cleaners on the market for condenser coils. Before using any cleaner that is not covered in this section you must get written approval from the AAON warranty and service department. Use of unapproved chemicals will void the warranty.
AAON testing has determined that unless a chemical has a neutral pH (6-8) it must not be used.
Beware of any product that claims to be a foaming cleaner. The foam that is generated is caused by a chemical reaction to the aluminum fin material on tube and fin coils and with the fin, tube, and coating material on microchannel coils.
Microchannel coils are robust in many ways, but like any component they must be treated correctly. This includes cleaning the coils correctly to give optimal performance over many years.
Roofing The cleaning procedures outlined here use relatively benign ingredients. When working with a rooftop unit care must be taken to make sure the chemicals will not adversely affect the roof coating. Checking with the roofing supplier/manufacturer is the best way to proceed. If the roofing supplier/manufacturer is not available testing

of the chemicals on the roof coating is recommended.
Commercial roofing material manufacturers using PVC and EPDM have been contacted and indicate that there should be no problem with any of the procedures outlined above.
Refrigerant Removal and Evacuation If removal of refrigerant is required for any maintenance or servicing, conventional procedures must be used and removal of refrigerant must be in accordance with local and national regulations.
Refrigerant must be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders in accordance with local and national regulations. Recovery cylinders must be labeled properly. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders are available for holding the entire charge of the system. Cylinders must have pressure relief and shut-off valves that are in proper working order. Fully evacuate a recovery cylinder before use.
The recovery equipment must be in good working order with a set of instructions concerning the equipment that is at hand. Ensure that equipment is suitable for the recovery of flammable refrigerant used. If in doubt, the manufacturer should be consulted. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales must be available and in good working order. Ensure hoses are complete with leakfree disconnect couplings and in good condition.
When removing refrigerant to open the system, evacuate the system and flush or purge the system continuously with an inert gas when using a flame to open the circuit. The system must be purged with oxygen-free nitrogen to render the appliance safe for flammable refrigerant. Compressed air or oxygen must not be used. When pulling a vacuum, ensure that the outlet of the vacuum pump is not near any potential ignition source and in a well ventilated area.
51

The recovered refrigerant is to be processed according to local legislation in the correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant waste transfer note arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders.
If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant. Do not heat the compressor body by using an open flame or other ignition sources to accelerate this process. Remove any drained oil safely.
Options
(See back of the manual for maintenance log)
Heating Coils One or two row hot water and steam heating and preheating coils can be factory installed. All valve controls for heating operation are field supplied and field installed. Hot water and steam coil connections are spun copper tube.

Water coils must not be subjected to entering air temperatures below 3.3°C (38°F) to prevent coil freeze-up. If air temperature across the coil is going to be below this value, use a glycol solution to match the coldest air expected.
WARNING
Piping, pressure limiting devices, backflow preventers and all other safety requirements shall be in accordance with national and local codes.
CAUTION
The unit shall have proper sealing of the water piping entries into the unit. Failure to seal the entries may result in damage to the unit and property.

WARNING
COMPRESSOR CYCLING
3 MINUTE MINIMUM OFF TIME To prevent motor overheating compressors must cycle off for a minimum of 3 minutes.
5 MINUTE MINIMUM ON TIME To maintain the proper oil level compressors must cycle on for a minimum of 5 minutes.
The cycle rate must not exceed 7 starts per hour.
All DX refrigeration systems are factory assembled, leak tested, charged with refrigerant, and run tested.
All refrigerant systems include an evaporator, condenser, liquid line filter driers, expansion valves and scroll compressors.
CAUTION

CRANKCASE HEATER OPERATION

Some units are equipped with compressor crankcase heaters, which must be energized at least 24 hours prior to cooling operation, to clear any liquid refrigerant from the compressors.
Never cut off the main power supply to the unit, except for servicing, emergency, or complete shutdown of the unit. When power is cut off from the unit crankcase heaters cannot prevent refrigerant migration into the compressors. This means the compressor will
54

cool down and liquid refrigerant may accumulate in the compressor. The compressor is designed to pump refrigerant gas and damage may occur when power is restored.
If power to the unit must be off for more than an hour, turn the thermostat system switch to “OFF”, or turn the unit off at the control panel, and leave the unit off until the main power switch has been turned on again for at least 24 hours for units with compressor crankcase heaters. This will give the crankcase heater time to clear any liquid accumulation out of the compressor before it is started.
Always control the unit from the thermostat, or control panel, never at the main power supply, except for servicing, emergency or complete shutdown of the unit.
During the cooling season, if the air flow is reduced due to dirty air filters or any other reason, the cooling coils can get too cold which will cause excessive liquid to return to the compressor. As the liquid concentration builds up, oil is washed out of the compressor, leaving it starved for lubrication.
The compressor life will be seriously shorted by reduced lubrication and the pumping of excessive amounts of liquid oil and refrigerant.
Note: Low Ambient Operation Air-cooled DX units without a low ambient option, such as condenser fan cycling or the -17.8°C (0°F) low ambient option, will not operate in the cooling mode of operation properly when the outdoor temperature is below 12.8°C (55°F). Low ambient and/or economizer options are recommended if cooling operation below 12.8°C (55°F) is expected.

CAUTION
Polyester (POE) and Polyvinyl ether (PVE) oils are two types of lubricants used in hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigeration systems. Refer to the compressor label for the proper compressor lubricant type.
Note: Multiple Units with Multiple Thermostats
When several heating and cooling units are used to condition a space all unit thermostat switches must be set in either heating mode, cooling mode or off. Do not leave part of the units switched to the opposite mode. Cooling only units must be switched off at the thermostat during the heating season.
Evaporator Coil
WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Shut off all electrical power to the unit to avoid shock hazard or injury from rotating parts.
Removal Isolate the evaporator section and recover the refrigerant in that section. Make sure to weigh the amount of refrigerant recovered.
Remove the expansion valve bulbs and/or the valve controller from the suction lines.
Disconnect the suction and liquid line copper connections to the evaporator coil.
Depending on the configuration, remove additional components such as filters, reheat coils or UV lights to allow the coil to be removed.

Figure 11 – Evaporator Coil Access
Remove the screws attaching the filter rack to the evaporator coil blank-off panels at the door opening and along the top of the coil.
Remove the screws attaching the filter rack to the back wall. Angle filter rack away from coil so it fits through the door opening. It may be necessary to remove economizer damper assembly.
Remove screws attaching access side, back, and top blank-off panels to the evaporator coil and the unit.
Angle the coil so that it fits through the door opening.
Remove the evaporator coil.
Reinstallation Install the coil in the unit drain pan. There should be about a 6.4 mm (1/4″) gap between the upstream side of the coil and the back of the drain pan.
Secure the coil to the back wall of the unit with the blank-off panel. Attach the top and access side blank-off panels to the coil.
Attach the filter rack to the back, top, and access side coil blank-off panels upstream of the coil. Reinstall economizer damper assembly if necessary.

55

Connect the suction and liquid copper connections to the evaporator coil. Reinstall the expansion valve bulbs on the suction lines.
Depending on the configuration, additional components might need to be reinstalled.
Evacuate the refrigerant systems. Weigh in the nameplate refrigerant charge.
See Adjusting Refrigerant Charge section to check for proper sub-cooling and superheat of the refrigerant systems.
Condenser Fans Condenser fans and motors can be removed and reinstalled as individual assemblies.
WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Shut off all electrical power to the unit to avoid shock hazard or injury from rotating parts.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. Startup and service must be performed by a Factory Trained Service Technician.
Removal Take off the fan grill by removing the screws that attach it to the orifice.
The condenser fan motor wires can then be accessed and disconnected.
Remove the screws that attach the orifice to the condenser assembly. The screws are
56

located on the top of the orifice around the perimeter, and in some cases, through the side of the condenser assembly into the orifice. With the wires disconnected and the screws removed, the fan, motor and orifice assembly can be lifted off the unit.
Figure 12 – Removal of a Condenser Fan Assembly
Reinstallation Set the condenser fan, motor and orifice assembly back into the condenser assembly with the motor wires on the side closest to the control panel. Attach the orifice to the condenser assembly using all of the points where screws were removed. Reconnect the fan motor wires. Attach the fan grill at all of the points where screws were removed. Suction Filter In an effort to help protect the compressors from contaminants during testing and startup, AAON is now factory installing pleated

replaceable core suction line filters on the RN Series E Cabinet products (75-140 tons)

Figure 13 – RPE-48-BD filter element
One month after startup, remove the RPE-48BD filter element for the lowest possible pressure drop. Removing the suction line filter will improve the efficiency and capacity of the unit. AAON installs isolation ball valves on both sides of the suction line filter so the complete system will not have to be reclaimed/evacuated.
Suction Filter Removal Instructions 1. Shut down operation of the unit 2. Close both shut-off valves to isolate the suction filter 3. Reclaim the refrigerant from the suction filter section
4. Remove the bolts from the suction filter end plate
5. Remove the pleated filter assembly

6. Replace the suction filter end plate and bolts
7. Evacuate the suction filter assembly to 300 microns
8. Open both shut-off valves
Energy Recovery Units Some RN Series E Cabinet units have been equipped with an energy recovery wheel. AAON provides options for either an aluminum energy recovery wheel or a polymer energy recovery wheel. Follow the instructions for the specific type of energy recovery wheel in your installed equipment.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Startup and service must be performed by a Factory Trained Service Technician.
Initial Mechanical Check and Setup
57

Outdoor units equipped with outside air intake will have an outside air hood. The outside air hood must be opened prior to unit operation.
Outdoor air intake adjustments must be made according to building ventilation, or local code requirements.
After the unit installation is complete, open the cassette access door and determine that the energy wheel rotates freely when turned by hand. Apply power and observe that the wheel rotates. If the wheel does not rotate when power is applied, it may be necessary to readjust the “diameter air seals”.
Controls A variety of controls and electrical accessories may be provided with the equipment. Identify the controls on each unit by consulting appropriate submittal, or order documents, and operate according to the control manufacturer’s instructions. If you cannot locate installation, operation, or maintenance information for the specific controls, then contact your sales representative, or the control manufacturer for assistance.
WARNING
Do not alter factory wiring. Deviation from the supplied wiring diagram will void all warranties, and may result in equipment damage or personal injury. Contact the factory with wiring discrepancies.
Aluminum Energy Recovery Wheel This section is provided to assure the energy recovery feature will be properly setup to perform in accordance with the job specifications for your particular application.
