Unit Description
- Before shipment, each unit is leak-tested, dehydrated, charged with refrigerant and compressor oil, and run-tested for proper control operation.
- Direct-drive, vertical discharge condenser fans are provided with built-in thermal overload protection.
- The stages of capacity control for these units are achieved by starting the Economizer Control Actuator (ECA).
Economizer Control Actuator Electromechanical Control
- The ECA monitors the mixed air temperature, return air temperature, minimum position setpoint (local or remote), power exhaust setpoint, CO2 setpoint, CO2, and ambient dry bulb/ enthalpy sensor or comparative humidity (return air humidity against ambient humidity) sensors if selected, to control dampers to an accuracy of ±5 percent of stroke.
- The actuator is spring returned to the closed position any time that power is lost to the unit. It is capable of delivering up to 25 in﹒lb of torque and is powered by 24 Vac.
JADE Economizer Control – Low Leak Economizer (LLE) Only
- The JADE controller is a standalone economizer controller that provides outdoor air dry-bulb economizer control standards. With optional Sylk Bus sensors, the controller can provide comparative or reference enthalpy control.
- Dampers are controlled to an accuracy of ±3.2 percent of stroke. The actuator is spring returned to the closed position any time that power is lost to the actuator. It is capable of delivering up to 44 in﹒lb of torque and is powered by 24 Vac.
System Input Devices and Functions
- The unit must have a thermostat input to operate.
- The descriptions of the following basic input devices used within the unit are to acquaint the operator with their function as they interface with the various features.
- Refer to the unit’s electrical schematic for the specific device connections. The following controls are available from the factory for field installation.
Drain Pan Condensate Overflow Switch (Optional)
- This input incorporates the Condensate Overflow Switch (COF) mounted on the drain pan.
- When the condensate level reaches the trip point, the COF relay energizes and opens the 24 Vac control circuit, disabling the unit. A delay timer prevents the unit from starting for 3 minutes.
Phase Monitor
- The Phase Monitor is a three-phase line monitor module that protects against phase loss, phase reversal, and phase unbalance. It is intended to protect compressors from reverse rotation.
- It has an operating input voltage range of 180 to 600 Vac, and LED indicators for ON and FAULT. There are no field adjustments and the module will automatically reset from a fault condition.
Discharge Line Thermostat Control
- When LSD is present in the unit, the high-pressure controls and the discharge line thermostat signals are wired in series and connected to the safety input of the LSD. The compressor contactor coil is connected to the CC terminal of the LSD.
- If the high-pressure control switch or the discharge line thermostat is open, the 24 Vac signal to the SI input of the LSD is interrupted and the compressor contactor coil supply is disabled by the LSD. It has an automatic lockout.
Power Exhaust Control (Optional)
- The power exhaust fan is started whenever the position of the economizer dampers meets or exceeds the power exhaust setpoint when the indoor fan is on.
- The setpoint panel is located in the return air section and is factory-set at 25% (50% for LLE).
- To configure the LLE controller, set EXH1 SET (or EXH1 L and EXH1 H with a two-speed fan) in the SETPOINTS menu. 2-speed fan mode requires AUX2 I set as W.
Evaporator Frost Control (Optional)
- This input incorporates the Frostat™ control (FOS) mounted in the indoor coil and can be activated by closing a field-supplied contact installed in parallel with the FOS.
- If this circuit is open before the compressor is started, the compressor will not be allowed to operate. Anytime this circuit is opened for 5 continuous seconds during compressor operation, the compressor for that circuit is immediately turned Off.
- The compressor will not be allowed to restart for a minimum of 3 minutes should the FOS close.
*Sensors High Temperature Sensor (BAYFRST003)**
- This sensor connects to the Emergency Stop Input on the LTB and provides a high-limit shutdown of the unit. The sensor is used to detect high temperatures due to fire in the air conditioning or ventilation ducts. The sensor is designed to be mounted directly to the sheet metal duct. Each kit contains two sensors. The return air duct sensor (X1310004001) is set to open at 135°F.
- The supply air duct sensor (X1310004002) is set to open at 240°F. The control can be reset after the temperature has been lowered approximately 25°F below the cutout setpoint.
Thermostat (TCONT802AS32DA)
- This thermostat is a multi-stage 3 heat/2 cool, auto changeover digital display thermostat. It is a programmable thermostat, and a 7-day programmable stat with night setback shall be available. In addition, it is wall-mounted.
Thermostat (TCONT402AN32DA)
- This thermostat is a multi-stage 3 heat/2 cool, auto changeover digital display thermostat. It is a non-programmable, wall-mounted thermostat, and it can be used for economizer operation.
CO2 Sensor
- This optional sensor can be added for Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) functionality. On units with a low leak economizer, configure the JADE controller by setting the following parameters:
Setpoints Menu
- DCV SET = desired CO2 ppm to start DCV
- VENTMAX = desired maximum position w/DCV and occupied status (2-speed applications require LO and HI settings)
- VENTMIN = desired minimum position w/DCV and occupied status (2-speed applications require LO and HI settings)
ADVANCED SETUP Menu:
- CO2 ZERO = set to detectors start level
- CO2 SPAN = detector’s max level minus start level
- Attach the sensor to the CO2 and R terminals (at customer connections).
- Note: When using any 0 to 10 Vdc CO2 sensor with the JADE you will need to set CO2 ZERO to 400 ppm and the CO2 SPAN to 1600 ppm in the ADVANCED SETUP menu sensor must utilize a normally open contact for proper operation.
- If an occupancy sensor is not used, another option for controlling occupied and unoccupied status is to use the G input (fan is running).
- Connect the G input to the OCC SENSOR wire (at customer connections). The controller will then operate in the occupied mode every time the indoor fan is running.
Initiation of Operating Modes – JADE Controller
- The JADE controller can initiate the following modes: Compressor, Economizer, Fans, Heating System, and Cooling System.
- The Compressor mode is initiated by either the OAT going above the DRYBLB SET setting or by the thermostat initiating a call to cool when the damper is at 100 percent open.
- The Economizer mode is controlled by the MAT getting above the MAT SET setting while the OAT is below the DRYBLB SET setting.
- While the fans are not controlled by the controller, the Fan mode is dependent on what state the system is in (OCC or Y1 states will cause the damper to go to a LOW fan speed damper setting, while Y2 or W states will cause the controller to open the damper to the HIGH fan speed damper setting). The Heating System mode requires an input to the AUX2-1 terminal from the thermostat, and the Cooling System mode requires an input to the Y2 IN and/or the Y1 IN terminals from the thermostat.
Fan Failure Switch
- In electric heat mode, heaters will not be energized until the differential pressure switch proves airflow. The factory set point is 0.07-inch w.c.
Dimensional Data
- The below figure illustrates the minimum operating and service clearances for either a single or multiple-unit installation.
- These clearances are the minimum distances necessary to assure adequate serviceability, cataloged unit capacity, and peak operating efficiency.
- Providing less than the recommended clearances may result in condenser coil starvation, short-circuiting of exhaust and economizer airflows, or recirculation of hot condenser air.
NOTES:
- FOR THE HORIZONTAL DISCHARGE UNIT, THIS MEASUREMENT IS REDUCED TO 1’ 6” TO MINIMIZE DUCT EXTENSION.
- WHEN EQUIPPED WITH ECONOMIZER OR BAROMETRIC RELIEF DAMPER, CLEARANCE DISTANCE IS TO BE MEASURED FROM THE PROTRUDING HOOD INSTEAD OF THE BASE.
- CLEARANCE IS THE SAME IF ANY UNIT IS ROTATED 180°.
- ADDITIONAL CLEARANCE REQUIRED WHEN BAROMETRIC DAMPER OR ECONOMIZER IS INSTALLED.
NOTES:
- THROUGH THE BASE ELECTRICAL IS NOT STANDARD ON ALL UNITS.
- VERIFY WEIGHT, CONNECTION, AND ALL DIMENSIONS WITH INSTALLER DOCUMENTS BEFORE INSTALLATION.

- Provide proper grounding for the unit under local and national codes.
Control Power Transformer
- The 24-volt control power transformers are to be used only with the accessories called out in this manual.
- Transformers rated greater than 50 Vac are equipped with internal circuit breakers. If a circuit breaker trips, turn Off all power to the unit before attempting to reset it.
- The transformer is located in the control panel. The circuit breaker is located on the left side of the transformer and can be reset by pressing the black reset button.
Controls using 24-vac
- Before installing any connecting wiring, refer to “Dimensional Dat for the electrical access locations provided on the unit and Table 2, p. 18 for AC conductor sizing guidelines.
NOTICE Use Copper Conductors Only!
Failure to use copper conductors could result in equipment damage as the equipment was not designed or qualified to accept other types of conductors.
- Use copper conductors unless otherwise specified.
- Ensure that the AC control wiring between the controls and the unit’s termination point does not exceed three (3) ohms/conductor for the length of the run.
- Note: Resistance above 3 ohms per conductor could cause component failure due to insufficient AC voltage supply.
- Be sure to check all loads and conductors for grounds, shorts, and miswiring.
- Do not run the AC low voltage wiring in the same conduit with the high voltage power wiring.
- Route low voltage wiring as per Figure 13 Table 2. Electromechanical thermostat 24 Vac conductors
Distance from Unit to Control | Recommended Wire Size |
---|---|
000 to 460 feet | 18 gauge |
000 to 140 m | 0.75 mm^2 |
461 to 732 feet | 16 gauge |
Voltage Imbalance
- Three-phase electrical power to the unit must meet stringent requirements for the unit to operate properly. Measure each leg (phase-to-phase) of the power supply.
- Each reading must fall within the utilization range stamped on the unit nameplate. If any of the readings do not fall within the proper tolerances, notify the power company to correct this situation before operating the unit.
- Excessive three-phase voltage imbalance between phases will cause motors to overheat and eventually fail.
- The maximum allowable voltage imbalance is 2 percent.
- Measure and record the voltage between phases 1, 2, and 3 and calculate the amount of imbalance as follows: % Voltage Imbalance = (100 x AV – VD) / AV where; AV (Average Voltage) = Volt1 + Volt2 + Volt3 / 3
- V1, V2, V3 = Line voltage readings
- VD = Line voltage reading that deviates the farthest from the average voltage.
- Example: If the voltage readings of the supply power measured 221, 230, and 227, the average volts would be: (221 + 230 + 227) / 3 = 226 Avg.
- VD (reading farthest from average) = 221
- The percentage of Imbalance equals: (100 + 226 + 221) / 226 = 2.2%
- The 2.2 percent imbalance in this example exceeds the maximum allowable imbalance of 2.0 percent.
- This much imbalance between phases can equal as much as a 20 percent current imbalance with a resulting increase in motor winding temperatures that will decrease motor life.
- If the voltage imbalance is over 2 percent, notify the proper agencies to correct the voltage problem before operating this equipment.
Electrical Phasing (Three Phase Motors)
- The compressor motor(s) and the supply fan motor are internally connected for the proper rotation when the incoming power supply is phased as A, B, and C.
- Proper electrical supply phasing can be quickly determined and corrected before starting the unit by using an instrument like an Associated Research Model 45 Phase Sequence Indicator. Follow the steps below.
WARNING Hazardous Voltage!
- Failure to disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
- Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. Verify that no power is present with a voltmeter.
- Turn the field-supplied disconnect switch that provides power to the main power terminal block or to the Line side of the optional factory-mounted disconnect switch to the Off position.
- Connect the phase sequence indicator leads to the terminal block or to the Line side of the optional factory mounted disconnect switch as follows:
- Black (phase A) to L1
- Red (phase B) to L2
- Yellow (phase C) to L3
- Close the field-supplied main power disconnect switch or circuit protector switch that provides the supply power to the unit.
- WARNING Live Electrical Components!
- Failure to follow all electrical safety precautions when exposed to live electrical components could result in death or serious injury.
- When it is necessary to work with live electrical components, have a qualified licensed electrician or other individual who has been properly trained in handling live electrical components perform these tasks.
- Observe the ABC and CBA phase indicator lights on the face of the sequencer. The ABC indicator light will glow if the phase is ABC. If the CBA indicator light glows, open the disconnect switch or circuit protection switch and reverse any two power wires.
- Restore the main electrical power and recheck the phasing. If the phasing is correct, open the disconnect switch or circuit protection switch and remove the phase sequence indicator.
Compressor Crankcase Heaters
NOTICE Compressor Failure!
- Failure to follow the instructions below could result in compressor failure.
- The unit must be powered and crankcase heaters energized at least 8 hours BEFORE compressors are started.
- Each compressor can be equipped with a crankcase heater. The proper operation of the crankcase heater is important to maintain an elevated compressor oil temperature during the Off-cycle to reduce oil foaming during compressor starts.
- Oil foaming occurs when refrigerant condenses in the compressor and mixes with the oil. In lower ambient conditions, refrigerant migration to the compressor could increase.
- When the compressor starts, the sudden reduction in crankcase pressure causes the liquid refrigerant to boil rapidly causing the oil to foam.
- This condition could damage compressor bearings due to reduced lubrication and could cause compressor mechanical failures.
- Before starting the unit in the Cooling mode, set the system switch to the Off position turn the main power disconnect to the On position, and allow the crankcase heater to operate for a minimum of 8 hours.
- Before closing the main power disconnect switch, ensure that the System selection switch is in the Off position and the Fan selection switch is in the Auto position.
- Close the main power disconnect switch and the unit-mounted disconnect switch, if applicable.

Maintenance
Make sure all personnel are standing clear of the unit before proceeding. The system components will start when the power is applied.
Fan Belt Adjustment-Belt Drive Units
WARNING Rotating Components!
- Failure to disconnect power before servicing could result in rotating components cutting and slashing technician which could result in death or serious injury.
- Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized.
- The fan belts must be inspected periodically to ensure proper unit operation. Replacement is necessary if the belts appear frayed or worn. Units with dual belts require a matched set of belts to ensure equal belt length.
- When removing or installing the new belts, do not stretch them over the sheaves. Loosen the belts using the belt tension adjustment bolts on the motor mounting base.
- Once the new belts are installed, using a Browning or Gates tension gauge (or equivalent) illustrated in Figure 15, p. 24, adjust the belt tension as follows:
- To determine the appropriate belt deflection:
- a. Measure the center-to-center shaft distance (in inches) between the fan and motor sheaves.
- b. Divide the distance measured in Step 1a by 64; the resulting value represents the amount of belt deflection that corresponds to the proper belt tension.
- Set the large O-ring on the belt tension gauge at the deflection value determined in Step 1b.
- Set the small O-ring at zero on the force scale of the gauge plunger.
- Place the large end of the gauge at the center of the belt span; then depress the gauge plunger until the large O-ring is even with the top of the next belt or even with a straightedge placed across the fan and motor sheaves.
- Remove the belt tension gauge. The small O-ring now indicates a number other than zero on the plunger force scale. This number represents the force (in pounds) required to give the needed deflection.
- Compare the force scale reading (Step 5) with the appropriate force value listed in the Belt tension table. If the force reading is outside the range, readjust the belt tension.
- Note: Actual belt deflection force must not exceed the maximum force value shown in the Belt tension measurement and deflection ranges table.
- Recheck the belt tension at least twice during the first 2 to 3 days of operation. Belt tension may decrease until the new belts are run in.
