3. Connect separate 120v wiring to optional GFCI outlet pigtails. Route field wiring in conduit between bottom power entry and GFCI. See FIGURE 8.

B-Unbalanced Three-Phase Voltage – VFD Units Only
Units equipped with an optional inverter (VFD) are designed to operate on balanced, three-phase power. Operating units on unbalanced three-phase power will reduce the reliability of all electrical components in the unit. Unbalanced power is a result of power delivery system supplied by the local utility company.
Factory-installed inverters are sized to drive blower motors with an equivalent current rating using balanced three-phase power. When unbalanced three-phase power is supplied; the installer must replace the existing factory-installed inverter with an inverter that has a higher current rating to allow for the imbalance. Use TABLE 1 to determine the appropriate replacement inverter.

TABLE 1
INVERTER UP-SIZING

CONTROL WIRING

A-Thermostat Location
Room thermostat mounts vertically on a standard 2” X 4” handy box or on any non-conductive flat surface. Locate thermostat approximately 5 feet (1524 mm) above the floor in an area with good air circulation at average temperature. Avoid locating the room thermostat where it might be affected by: drafts or dead spots behind doors and in corners hot or cold air from ducts radiant heat from sun or appliances concealed pipes and chimneys

IMPORTANT – Unless field thermostat wires are rated for maximum unit voltage, they must be routed away from line voltage wiring.

B-Control Wiring

1. Route thermostat cable or wires from subbase to unit control box (refer to unit dimensions to locate bottom and side power entry).
   IMPORTANT – Unless field thermostat wires are rated for maximum unit voltage, they must be routed away from line voltage wiring. Use wire ties located near the front of the control section to secure thermostat cable.

2. Use18 AWG wire for all applications using remotely installed electro-mechanical and electronic thermostats. Install thermostat assembly in accordance with instructions provided with thermostat.

3. Connect thermostat wiring to TB1 terminal board on the lower side of the controls hat section. Wire as shown in FIGURE 9 for electro-mechanical and electronic thermostats. If using other temperature control devices or energy management systems see instructions and wiring diagram provided by manufacturer.

   A-General

4.  Make sure that unit is installed in accordance with the installation instructions and applicable codes.

5. Inspect all electrical wiring, both field and factory installed, for loose connections. Tighten as required.

6. Check to ensure that refrigerant lines do not rub against the cabinet or against other refrigerant lines.

7. Check voltage at main unit power connection. Voltage must be within range listed on nameplate. If not, consult power company and have voltage condition corrected before starting unit.

8. Make sure filters are in place before start-up.

9. Make sure there is no heating, cooling, or blower demand from thermostat. Apply power to unit.

Blower Operation and Adjustments

Three Phase Scroll Compressor Voltage Phasing
Three phase scroll compressors must be phased sequentially to ensure correct compressor and blower rotation and operation. Compressor and blower are wired in phase at the factory. Power wires are color-coded as follows: line 1-red, line 2-yellow, line 3-blue.

1. Observe suction and discharge pressures and blower rotation on unit start-up.
   If pressure differential is not observed or blower rotation is not correct:

2. Suction pressure must drop, discharge pressure must rise, and blower rotation must match rotation marking.

3. Disconnect all remote electrical power supplies.

4. Reverse any two field-installed wires connected to the line side of TB13, TB2, or F4. Do not reverse wires at blower contactor or compressors.

5. Make sure the connections are tight.

Discharge and suction pressures should operate at their normal start-up ranges.

Belt-Driven Supply Air Inverter Units – Units are equipped with a phase monitor located in the control compartment. The phase monitor will detect the phasing of incoming power. If the incoming power is out of phase or if any of the three phases are lost, the indicating LED on the phase monitor will turn red and the unit will not start. In normal operation with correct incoming power phasing, the LED will be green.

Blower Operation

1. Initiate blower demand at thermostat according to instructions provided with thermostat. Unit will cycle on thermostat demand. The following steps apply to applications using a typical electro-mechanical thermostat.
   Blower operation is manually set at the thermostat subbase fan switch. With fan switch in ON position, blowers will operate continuously.

2. With fan switch in AUTO position, the blowers will cycle with demand. Blowers and entire unit will be off when system switch is in OFF position.

Blower Access
The blower assembly is secured to a sliding frame which allows the blower motor to be pulled out of the unit. See FIGURE 10.

Belt Drive Blowers

1. Loosen the reusable wire tie which secures the blower wiring to the blower motor mounting plate.
2. Remove and retain screws on either side of sliding frame. Pull frame toward outside of unit.
3. Slide frame back into original position when finished servicing. Reattach the blower wiring in the previous location on the blower motor base using the wire tie.
4. Replace retained screws on either side of the sliding frame.

Determining Unit CFM
IMPORTANT – Belt-driven supply air inverter units are factory-set to run the blower at full speed when there is a blower (G) demand without a heating or cooling demand. Use the following procedure to adjust motor pulley to deliver the full load cooling or heating CFM. See Belt-Driven Supply Air Inverter Start-Up section to set blower CFM for all modes once the motor pulley is set.

1. The following measurements must be made with a dry indoor coil. Run blower without a cooling demand. Measure the indoor blower shaft RPM. Air filters must be in place when measurements are taken.

2. With all access panels in place, measure static pressure external to unit (from supply to return). Blower performance data is based on static pressure readings taken in locations shown in FIGURE 11.
   NOTE – Static pressure readings can vary if not taken where shown.

3. Referring to page 14, page 15, or page 16, use static pressure and RPM readings to determine unit CFM. Use page 17 when installing units with any of the optional accessories listed.

4. The blower RPM can be adjusted at the motor pulley. Loosen Allen screw and turn adjustable pulley clockwise to increase CFM. Turn counterclockwise to decrease CFM. See FIGURE 10. Do not exceed minimum and maximum number of pulley turns as shown in TABLE 2.

TABLE 2
MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM PULLEY ADJUSTMENT

• No minimum number of turns open when B belt is used on pulleys 6” O.D. or larger.

Blower Belt Adjustment
Maximum life and wear can be obtained from belts only if proper pulley alignment and belt tension are maintained. Tension new belts after a 24-48 hour period of operation. This will allow belt to stretch and seat in the pulley grooves. Make sure blower and motor pulleys are aligned as shown in FIGURE 12.

1. Loosen four bolts securing motor base to mounting frame. See FIGURE 10.

2. To increase belt tension

   • Turn both adjusting bolts to the right, or clockwise, to move the motor outward and tighten the belt. This increases the distance between the blower motor and the blower housing.
   • To loosen belt tension
   • Turn the adjusting bolts to the left, or counterclockwise to loosen belt tension.
     IMPORTANT – Align top edges of blower motor base and mounting frame base parallel before tightening four bolts on the side of base. Motor shaft and blower shaft must be parallel.

3. Tighten two bolts on each side of the motor mounting base. This secures the mounting base to the frame.

4. Relieve tension adjusting bolts.

F-Check Belt Tension

1. Overtensioning belts shortens belt and bearing life. Check belt tension as follows:

2. Measure span length X. See FIGURE 13.
   Apply perpendicular force to center of span (X) with enough pressure to deflect belt 1/64” for every inch of span length or 1.5mm per 100mm of span length.

   • Example: Deflection distance of a 40” span would be 40/64” or 5/8”.
   • Example: Deflection distance of a 400mm span would be 6mm.

3. Measure belt deflection force. For a new 2 and 3hp belt, the deflection force should be 5.0-7.0 lbs. (35-48kPa). For a new 5hp belt, the deflection force should be 7-10lbs. (48-69kPa).

4. A force below these values indicates an undertesioned belt. A force above these values indicates an overtensioned belt.

Field-Furnished Blower Drives
For field-furnished blower drives, use page 14 through page 15 to determine BHP and RPM required. Reference page 17 to determine the drive number. Reference TABLE 3 for drive component manufacturer’s numbers.

2. Check each system separately with all stages operating.
3. Use a thermometer to accurately measure the outdoor ambient temperature.
4. Apply the outdoor temperature to TABLE 6 through TABLE 8 to determine normal operating pressures. Pressures are listed for sea level applications at 80°F dry bulb and 67°F wet bulb return air.
5. Compare the normal operating pressures to the pressures obtained from the gauges. Minor variations in these pressures may be expected due to differences in installations. Significant differences could mean that the system is not properly charged or that a problem exists with some component in the system. Correct any system problems before proceeding.

6. If discharge pressure is high, remove refrigerant from the system. If discharge pressure is low, add refrigerant to the system.

• Add or remove charge in increments.
• Allow the system to stabilize each time refrigerant is added or removed.

7. Use the following approach method along with the normal operating pressures to confirm readings.

Charge Verification – Approach Method – AHRI Testing

1. Using the same thermometer, compare liquid temperature to outdoor ambient temperature.
   Approach Temperature = Liquid temperature (at condenser outlet) minus ambient temperature.

2. Approach temperature should match values in TABLE 9. An approach temperature greater than value shown indicates an undercharge. An approach temperature less than value shown indicates an overcharge.

3. The approach method is not valid for grossly over or undercharged systems. Use TABLE 6 through TABLE 8 as a guide for typical operating pressures.

D-Compressor Controls

1. High-Pressure Switches (S4, S7)
   Compressor circuits are protected by a high pressure switch which cuts out at 640 psig + 10 psig (4413 kPa + 70 kPa).

2. Freezestats (S49, S50)
   Switches de-energize compressors when indoor coil temperature falls below 29°F (-2°C) to prevent coil freeze-up. Switches reset when indoor coil temperature reaches 58°F (15°C).

3. Crankcase Heater (HR1, HR2)
   Compressors have belly band compressor oil heaters which must be on 24 hours before running compressors. Energize by setting thermostat so that there is no cooling demand, to prevent compressor from cycling, and apply power to unit.

4. Defrost Switches (S6, S9)
   Defrost switches close to initiate defrost when liquid line temperature falls to 35°F (1.7°C). The defrost switch is located on the liquid line between the outdoor expansion valve and the distributor

5. Defrost Termination Switches (S46, S104)
   Defrost pressure switches open to terminate defrost when vapor (discharge pressure during cooling and defrost) pressure reaches 450 psig (3103 kPa).

6. Defrost Controls (CMC1)

   • Defrost is liquid line temperature initiated and operates for 14 minutes unless terminated by vapor line pressure drop.
   • When the liquid line temperature drops below 35°F, the defrost switch closes and signals the defrost control that a defrost cycle is needed. If the defrost switch is still closed after 60 minutes (default), a defrost cycle begins and operates for 14 minutes. The defrost pressure switch can terminate the defrost cycle before the 14 minutes elapses if vapor pressure reaches 450 + 10 psi.
   • Electric heat is energized during defrost to maintain discharge air temperature.

Defrost Control Board

The defrost thermostat, defrost pressure switch and the defrost control work together to ensure that the heat pump outdoor coil does not ice excessively during the heating mode.

Compressor Accumulated Run-Time Interval

• The defrost control will not energize a defrost cycle unless the unit has been operating in heating mode for an accumulated 60 minutes (default) on 100269-02 boards; 90 minutes (default) on 100269-07 boards. The run time interval can be changed by moving the jumper on the CMC board timing pins. See FIGURE 14.
• The defrost interval can be adjusted to 30, 60, or 90 minutes. The defrost timing jumper is factory-installed to provide a 60-minute defrost interval. If the timing selector jumper is not in place, the control defaults to a 90-minute defrost interval.

Defrost Test Option
A TEST option is provided for troubleshooting. The TEST mode may be started any time the unit is in the heating mode and the defrost thermostat is closed or jumpered. If the timing jumper is in the TEST position at power-up, the defrost control will ignore the test pins. When the jumper is placed across the TEST pins for two seconds, the control will enter the defrost mode. If the jumper is removed before an additional 5-second period has elapsed (7 seconds total), the unit will remain in defrost mode until the defrost pressure switch opens or 14 minutes have passed. If the jumper is not removed until after the additional 5-second period has elapsed, the defrost will terminate and the test option will not function again until the jumper is removed and re- applied.

Diagnostic LEDs
The defrost board uses two LEDs for diagnostics. The LEDs flash a sequence according to the condition.

Supply Air Inverter Start-Up

General
Units provide three blower speeds. The blower will operate at lower speeds when cooling demand is low and higher speeds when cooling demand is high. This results in lower energy consumption. See TABLE 12 for detailed unit operation.
Inverter-driven blowers will operate at high speed during ventilation (blower “G” only signal) but can be adjusted to operate at low speed.
Low speed is approximately 66% of the full speed RPM and medium speed is 75% of the full speed RPM.

Set Maximum Blower CFM

1. Initiate a blower (G) only signal from the room thermostat or control system.
2. Adjust the blower pulley to deliver the full (high speed) CFM in the typical manner. See Determining Unit CFM in the Blower Operation and Adjustment section.

NOTE – The following sections detail how to set ventilation speeds and minimum damper positions on units with standard economizers. On units with high performance economizers, ventilation speeds and three separate damper positions must be programmed via the economizer controller display. See economizer installation instructions and high performance economizer application guide provided with the unit for further instructions.

Set Blower Speed During Ventilation (Units With Standard Economizers Only)
To save energy during ventilation, the blower speed can be set to low. This is accomplished by changing the ventilation speed switch on the VFD control board to “LO”. See FIGURE 16.

NOTE – On units equipped with a standard economizer, set damper minimum position as shown in the next section. After adjusting the low speed minimum position, the ventilation speed switch will be in the “LO” position.

Set Damper Minimum Position (Units With Standard Economizers Only)
To maintain required minimum ventilation air volumes when the unit is in the occupied mode, two minimum damper positions must be set. A high and a low speed potentiometer are provided on the VFD control board to adjust minimum damper position. See figure 16. The low speed minimum damper position is used for both low and medium blower speeds as standard economizers only offer 2 damper positions.

Set High-Speed Minimum Position

1. Initiate a blower (G) only AND occupied demand from the room thermostat or control system.
2. Set the ventilation speed switch on the VFD control board to “HI”.
3. Rotate the high speed potentiometer on the VFD control board to set the high speed minimum damper position.
4. Measure the intake air CFM. If the CFM is lower than the design specified CFM for ventilation air, use the potentiometer to increase the damper percent open. If the CFM is higher than specified, decrease the damper percent open.

NOTE – Intake air CFM can also be determined using the outdoor air temperature, return air temperature and mixed air temperature. Refer to the economizer or outdoor air damper installation instructions.

Set Low-Speed Minimum Position

1. Initiate a blower (G) only AND occupied demand from the room thermostat or control system.
2. Set the ventilation speed switch on the VFD control board to “LO”.
3. Rotate the low speed potentiometer on the VFD control board to set the low speed minimum damper position.
4. Measure the intake air CFM. If the CFM is lower than the design specified CFM for ventilation air, use the potentiometer to increase the damper percent open. If the CFM is higher than specified, decrease the damper percent open.

NOTE – Intake air CFM can also be determined using the outdoor air temperature, return air temperature and mixed air temperature. Refer to the economizer or outdoor air damper installation instructions.

Troubleshoot LVC2 Board (A183)
Refer to wiring diagram sections B (unit), C (control) and D (economizer) located on inside of unit panels.

1. Inspect the LVC2 for damaged components. Replace the LVC2 if damaged components are found.
2. Check all wire connections to LVC2; secure if loose.
3. Check for 24VAC signal at the thermostat blower input (G to GND terminal). See FIGURE 17.
4. If there is no thermostat signal, troubleshoot back toward the thermostat.
5. Check the power LED on the board. See FIGURE 16.
6. If the power LED is not on, check voltage between LVC2 terminals PC (H2-1) and SD (H2-5). Voltage should read 24VDC.
7. If voltage does not read 24VDC, disconnect the H2 header from the LVC2 VFD inputs terminal block (to make sure the LVC2 is not shorting 24VDC supply from the inverter). Measure the voltage between the end terminals on the H2 header. If 24VDC is present, replace the LVC2 board. If no voltage is read, troubleshoot the VFD.
8. When LVC2 24VAC thermostat blower (G) input and 24VDC power are present, check the LVC2 low and high speed outputs. The LVC2 uses inverse logic to enable the blower; 1VDC will be read at the enabled blower speed terminal. See TABLE 11.
9. If all inputs are correct and the unit still does not operate as intended, replace LVC2 board.
