General Safety Information
1. Installation and maintenance to be performed only by certified personnel who are familiar with this type of equipment.
2. Make sure that all field wiring conforms to the requirements of the equipment and all applicable national and local codes.
3. Avoid contact with sharp edges and coil surfaces. They are a potential injury hazard.
4. Make sure all power sources are disconnected before any service work is done on units.
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 for. 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.

Condensing Unit Placement
Space and Location Requirements
The most important consideration which must be taken into account when deciding upon the location of air­cooled equipment is the provision for a supply of ambient air to the condenser, and removal of heated air from the condensing unit or remote condenser area. Where this essential requirement is not adhered to, it will result in higher head pressures, which cause poor operation and potential failure of equipment. Units must not be located in the vicinity of steam, hot air or fume exhausts. Corrosive atmospheres require custom designed condensers.
Another consideration which must be taken is that the unit should be mounted away from noise sensitive spaces and must have adequate support to avoid vibration and noise transmission into the building. Units should be mounted over corridors, utility areas, rest rooms and other auxiliary areas where high levels of sound are not an important factor. Sound and structural consultants should be retained for recommendations. (Refer to actual building plans for unit locations.)

Refrigeration Piping And Line Sizing
Refrigeration Piping And Line Sizing
The system as supplied by Heatcraft, was thoroughly cleaned and dehydrated at the factory . Foreign matter may enter the system by way of the evaporator to condensing unit piping. Therefore, care must be used during installation of the piping to prevent entrance of foreign matter. Install all refrigeration system components in accordance with applicable local and national codes and in conformance with good practice required for the proper operation of the system. The refrigerant pipe size should be selected from the tables in Refrigeration System Installation Manual, Part Number 25001201. The interconnecting pipe size is not necessarily the same size as the stub-out on the condensing unit or the evaporator.
The following procedures should be followed: (a) Do not leave dehydrated compressors or filter-driers on condensing units open to the atmosphere any longer
than is absolutely necessary . (b) Use only refrigeration grade (ACR) copper tubing, properly sealed against contamination. (c) Suction lines should slope 1/4” per 10 feet towards the compressor (in direction of flow). (d) Suitable P-type oil traps should be located at the base of each suction riser to enhance oil return to the
compressor. (e) For desired method of superheat measurement, a pressure tap should be installed in each evaporator
suction line in the proximity of the expansion valve bulb. (f) When brazing refrigerant lines, an inert gas should be passed through the line at low pressure to prevent
scaling and oxidation inside the tubing. Dry nitrogen is preferred. (g) Use only a suitable silver solder alloy on suction and liquid lines. (h) Limit the soldering paste of flux to the minimum required to prevent contamination of the solder joint internally .
Flux only the male portion of the connection, never the female. After brazing, remove excess flux. (i) Remove temperature sensor attached to suction line on Beacon II systems before brazing of the solder joint
internally . Flux only the male portion of the connection – never the female. After brazing, remove excess flux. (j) Wrap expansion valves with wet rags during brazing to the liquid line.
CAUTION: If the temperature gets too high, these components may be damaged. Heat absorbing
compounds or wet rags must be used to protect the expansion valve when brazing to the refrigerant
piping/line connections, and the suction line sensor must be removed per above instructions.
(k) Do not use “bull head” tees. This will cause oil return problems and can cause poor performance. (l) If isolation valves are installed at the evaporator, full port ball valves should be used.

Refrigeration Piping
Suction Lines
NOTE: If the suction line must rise to the point higher than the suction connection on
the evaporator, a suction line trap at the outlet of the evaporator must be provided.
Horizontal suction lines should slope away from the evaporator toward the compressor at the rate of 1/4’ per 10 feet for good oil return. When multiple evaporators are connected in series using a common suction line, the branch suction lines must enter the top of the common suction line.
Suction lines that are outside of refrigerated space must be insulated. See “Line Insulation” for more information.
Suction Line Risers
NOTE: To provide proper oil return, a suction trap must be provided at the base of
all suction risers.
Prefabricated wrought copper traps are available, or a trap can be made by using two street ells and one regular ell. The suction trap must be the same size as the suction line. For long vertical risers, additional traps may be necessary. Generally, one trap is recommended for each length of pipe (approximately 20 feet) to insure proper oil movement. See Figure 7 below for methods of constructing proper suction line P-traps.
Figure 7. Suction P-traps
Condensate Drain Lines
Copper drain lines should be used and properly protected from freezing. In running drain lines, provide a minimum of 4 inches 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 systems. Traps in the drain line must be located in a warm ambient. We recommend a trap on all evaporators. Traps located outside, or extensive outside runs of drain line must be wrapped with a drain line heater. The heater should be connected so that it is continuously on. It is recommended that the drain line be insulated to prevent heat loss. A heat input of 20 watts per lineal foot of drain line for 0ºF (-18°C) room applications and 30 watts per lineal foot for -20°F (-29°C) rooms is satisfactory.
Inspect the drain pan periodically to insure free drainage of condensate. If the drain pan contains standing water, check for proper installation. The drain pan should be cleaned regularly with warm soapy water.
Figure 8. Drain Line
WARNING: All power must be disconnected
before cleaning. The drain pan also serves as cover for hazardous moving parts. Operation of unit without drain pan constitutes a hazard.
NOTE: Always trap drain lines individually to prevent vapor migration.

Refrigeration Piping
Figure 9. Example of
Pipe Support
1. Normally, any straight run of tubing must be supported in at least two locations near each end of the run. Long runs require additional supports. The refrigerant lines should be supported and fastened properly. As a guide, 3/8 to 7/8 should be supported every 5 feet, 1-1/8 and 1-3/8 every 7 feet; and 1-5/8 and 2-1/8 every 9 to 10 feet.
2. When changing directions in a run of tubing, no corner should be left unsupported. Supports should be placed a maximum of 2 feet in each direction from the corner.
3. Piping attached to a vibrating object (such as a compressor or compressor base) must be supported in such a manner that will not restrict the movement of the vibrating object. Rigid mounting will fatigue the copper tubing.
4. Do not use short radius ells. Short radius elbows have points of excessive stress concentration and are subject to breakage at these points.
5. Thoroughly inspect all piping after the equipment is in operation and add supports wherever line vibration is significantly greater than most of the other piping. Extra supports are relatively inexpensive as compared to refrigerant loss.
Figure 10.
Line Insulation
After the final leak test, refrigerant lines exposed to high or low ambient conditions should be insulated to reduce heat loss or gain and prevent the formation of flash gas in the liquid lines. Suction lines should be insulated with 3/4’ wall Armstrong “Armaflex” or equivalent. Liquid lines should also be insulated with 1/2-inch wall insulation or better. The insulation located in outdoor environments should be protected from UV exposure to prevent deterioration of insulating value.

Roof Penetrations
All piping and control wiring penetrations are done underneath the fan section of the condensing unit. Refer to building plans for job details of roof penetration scheme. The 4” PVC pipe penetrations shown above is a guide for all parties involved.
Head Pressure Controls
Heatcraft does NOT supply headmaster control for the individual display case circuits. Refer to case manufacturers’ installation instructions for specific provisions needed for head pressure control.
Note: Heatcraft does include headmaster controls on the ice machine circuit. If the ice machine equipment from the vendor includes a headmaster already, it will be necessary to clip the pigtail on the headmaster valve supplied by Heatcraft to disable it from operating and conflicting with the ice machine headmaster.
10
Leak Detection And Evacuation
Leak Testing
After all lines are connected, the entire system must be leak tested. The complete system should be pressurized to not more than 150 PSIG with refrigerant and dry nitrogen. The use of an electronic type of leak detector is highly recommended because of its greater sensitivity to small leaks. As a further check, it is recommended that this pressure be held for a minimum of 12 hours and then rechecked. For a satisfactory installation, the system must be leak tight.
Leak detection can be carried out in the conventional manner. If HCFC or CFC tracer gas is used, care must be taken to completely remove all traces of the gas prior to introducing HFC’s. Electronic leak detectors are now available that will sense HFC’s. This is considered preferable since it removes the possibility of chlorine remaining in the system after leak testing with HCFC’s and/or HCFC’s. There is a view that even small quantities of chlorine may act as a catalyst encouraging copper plating and/or corrosion and should therefore be avoided.
Within the last several years, manufacturers have developed fluorescent dye leak detection systems for use with refrigerants. These dyes mix with the lubricant and, when exposed to an ultraviolet light “fluoresce,” indicate the location of leaks. Copeland has tested and approved the Rigid “System Safe” dye and found it to be compatible with the compressor materials in systems.
Evacuation
CAUTION: Do not use the refrigeration compressor
to evacuate the system. Do not start the compressor while it is in a vacuum.
Due to the smaller molecule size of HFC’s, they will tend to leak more readily than CFC. Consequently , it is of the utmost importance that proper system evacuation and leak detection procedures be employed. Copeland recommends a minimum evacuation to 500 microns. In addition, a vacuum decay test is strongly recommended to assure there is not a large pressure differential between the system and vacuum pump. Good evacuation processes include frequent vacuum pump oil changes and large diameter, short hose connections to both high and low sides of the system preferably using bronze braided hose.
A good, deep vacuum pump should be connected to both the low and high side evacuation valves with copper tube or high vacuum hoses (1/4” ID minimum). If the compressor has service valves, they should remain closed. A deep vacuum gauge capable of registering pressure in microns should be attached to the system for pressure readings.
A shut-of f valve between the gauge connection and vacuum pump should be provided to allow the system pressure to be checked after evacuation. Do not turn off vacuum pump when connected to an evacuated system before closing shut-off valve.
The vacuum pump should be operated until a pressure a 1,500 microns absolute pressure is reached – at which time the vacuum should be broken with the refrigerant to be used in the system through a drier until the system pressure rises above “0” psig.
NOTE: Refrigerant used during evacuation can not be vented.
Repeat this operation a second time. Open the compressor’s service valves and evacuate the entire system to 500 microns absolute pressure. Raise the pressure to 2 psig with the refrigerant and remove the vacuum pump.
Reclaim all used refrigerant. EP A regulations are constantly being updated. Ensure your procedures follow correct regulations.

Field Wiring
WARNING: All wiring must be done in accordance with applicable codes and local ordinances.
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 nameplate 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, follow the wiring diagrams for multiple evaporator systems carefully. This will assure complete defrost of all evaporators in the system.
6. If a remote defrost Timer is to be used, the Timer should be located outside the refrigerated space.
Note: Control wiring from the Ice Machines must be connected
to the relays in the MCCU Control Panel to properly energize condenser fans.

Installation Tips
• Use a minimum 18 gauge wire for all low voltage connections.
• The Beacon II board get its 24 VAC power supply from a transformer mounted in the electrical end of each evaporator. On 208-240 volt systems the multi-tap transformer is shipped from our factory wired for 240 volts. If your supply voltage is 208 volt you must change to the 208 volt tap on the transformer.
• Refer to wiring schematic shipped on units for wiring. Schematics in this Installation and Operation Manual are typical wiring schematics only.
• Program ALL slave evaporators as SLAVES.
• Evaporators are shipped from our factory with a preset box setpoint temperature of 35°F for air defrost and
-10°F for electric defrost. If your box setpoint temperature requirements are different this must be set using directions outlined under “Room Temperature Control”.
• The suction line temperature sensor MUST be removed from the suction line before brazing the suction
tubing. The sensor MUST then be reinstalled on the suction line after brazing is completed and the tubing has cooled. Insulate when finished.
• The low pressure switch time delay relay, located in the condensing unit, must be set to one minute.
• Some systems may require the crankcase heater to be energized 24 hours prior to start-up. The Beacon II should be de-energized for this period by placing it in the SERVICE MODE. This is done by pressing the “FORCE SERVICE” button twice. To start the system cooling, press the “CLEAR” button.
• Room sensors must be left connected on ALL evaporators.
• A pressure transducer is installed on the evaporator. Do not leak test system above 150 PSI or damage to
transducer could occur.
Condensing Unit
The condensing unit control panel contains the relays, contactors, and a terminal block which is appropriately marked to match the low voltage wiring connections. A sensor for outdoor air temperature measurement is installed on the condensing unit.
Condensing unit must be installed using proper refrigeration practices and codes. Make sure there is good airflow and good clearances around unit.
Evaporator Unit
The evaporator contains the BEACON II controller(s), electric expansion valve(s), pressure transducer, distributor(s), orifice(s), transformer and three sensors. These components are all factory mounted and wired. The three sensors are factory mounted and provide input to the controller from the following: defrost temp., suction temp., room temp.
Each evaporator unit must be installed using proper refrigeration practices and codes. Make sure the piping is correctly sized and properly routed. It is highly recommended that the liquid and suction lines be insulated. There must also be good clearance around the unit. See Heatcraft Refrigeration Installation Manual for more details.

CAUTION
)
Too high a temperature may destroy
Power Supply
The Beacon II board gets its 24 VAC power supply from a transformer mounted in the electrical end of each evaporator. On 208-240 volt systems the multi-tap transformer is shipped from our factory wired for 240 volts. If your supply voltage is 208 volt you must change to the 208 volt tap on the transformer.
VERY IMPORTANT: If the supply voltage to the evaporator is 208 volts, the primary tap of the transformer must be moved to the 208 volt tap.
If the 24 VAC power supply falls below 18 VAC the system may power down and shut off. When the power supply is corrected to 24 VAC the system will restart after the four minute hold-off period and resume normal operation.
On Beacon II systems the main power for the evaporator can be supplied separately from the power supply of the condensing unit. All wiring, however, must comply with local electrical codes.
This must be done for all the evaporators on that system.
Wiring
Wiring between the condensing unit and the unit cooler(s) will be as follows (see attached wiring diagrams):
• High voltage – There may be high voltage on the defrost heater relay and the fan relay. The evaporator may also be connected to a separate power supply from the condensing unit. See unit cooler spec. plate for ampacity.
• Low voltage – 24V Class II control circuit. A total of five low voltage leads are required to connect the condensing unit to the evaporator (see wiring diagram). Two of these leads are for connecting the outdoor temperature sensor. The other three leads are for connecting the compressor relay, service relay and 24V Common inputs.
• Low voltage wiring must be 18 gauge minimum. For low voltage wiring, maximum distances are:
Condensing unit to MASTER evaporator 500 ft. Smart Controller to MASTER evaporator 1,000 ft.
• Alarm circuit – The onboard alarm is a dry set of NC contacts which closes to indicate an alarm. The type and wiring for the alarm is customer specified. Note that the alarm circuit does not distinguish or indicate what has caused the alarm.
• All wiring must comply with all applicable codes and ordinances.
All 24 volt wiring must be run separate from the line voltage wiring.
Box Temperature Control Settings
There is an on board room thermostat on the Beacon II board which can be adjusted to the desired
room temperature. The temperature differential is 2°F. Temperature Differential When a system is in the cooling mode and the box setpoint is 35°F, the system will continue to cool until
the box temperature gets to 34°F. At this point the compressor will pumpdown and shut off. The system will restart cooling when the box temperature has risen to 36°F.
It is important to note that Beacon II has a minimum 2-minute “ON” time and a minimum 4-minute “OFF” time. This means that the system will run in the cooling mode a minimum of 2 minutes even if the setpoint temperature is met. In applications where the system is grossly oversized, the box temperature could go below the differential temperature before the system cycles off.
In the “OFF” cycle, the system will be off for a minimum of 4 minutes even if the box temperature goes above the differential temperature before cooling will be restarted.
The on board room thermostat is factory set at 35°F for air defrost systems and -10°F for electric
defrost systems.

Beacon II Controller
Initial Power On
At the initial application of power to the system, the compressor and the evaporator fans will be in a 4-minute hold-off cycle and will not start immediately. When there is a call for COOLING, the expansion valve (EEV) opens, then the compressor is started. The compressor will then run for a minimum of 2 minutes in the “hold­on” cycle. (This means that the compressor will run for a minimum of 2 minutes before shutting off even if the box temperature is met).
The LED alternately displays show while the expansion valve is opening. After the compressor starts, the LED will alternately display
TEMPERATURE
When the room thermostat setting is satisfied, and if the compressor ran for at least 2 minutes, the EEV will close and the compressor will pumpdown and shut off. The evaporator fans will continue to run. The LED will alternately display
When the room sensor detects a rise in temperature of approximately 2°F, and the compressor has been off for at least 4 minutes, the EEV will open to its last position then the compressor will start. The valve is then adjusted as necessary to obtain the setpoint superheat setting. During this time, the compressor will run for a minimum 2 minutes “hold-on” cycle.
The 4 minute “hold-off” can be bypassed and the system started immediately by pressing the “Reset” button on the Beacon II board.

Low Ambient Operation
All units are shipped standard with head master valves. (Scroll compressor units have a 100 PSI head master valve and all other systems have a 180 PSI head master valve.) Condensing units with multiple condenser fans will have one or more fans cycle on Pressure Fan Cycling switch.
An adjustable Time Delay relay, factory set at 1 minute, is wired across the Low Pressure Switch (LPS). In cold ambient this allows time for the suction pressure to build up and prevent nuisance tripping of the LPS. In warmer ambient this time delay relay can be adjusted to 0 minutes.
Pumpdown
At the end of each cooling cycle, when the box temperature is met, the Beacon system will pumpdown and shut off the compressor.
To pumpdown, the EXV closes and the compressor runs until one of the following occurs:
the low pressure switch opens
the suction pressure at the evaporator is 4 psig
a total of two minutes has elapsed.
When any of these three conditions occur the compressor will turn off and not restart until there is a call for cooling.
Periodic pumpdown
While in the OFF cycle, if there isn’t a call for cooling (box set-point temperature is met) but:
the evaporator suction pressure has risen to 10 psig
the low pressure switch has closed.
The system will initiate a pumpdown. This periodic pumpdown will occur at 4 minute intervals when these two conditions are met.

Service Mode
A single pole, single throw switch (SPST) is supplied in each condensing unit for shutting off the system. Closing the “Service” switch in the condensing unit will cause the system to pumpdown and shut off. “Ser” will be displayed on the Beacon board LED and “SERVIC” is displayed on the Smart Controller LCD display. The evaporator fan and heaters will be de-eneergized in the Service Mode. The system will not restart until the
SPST switch is placed in the “NORMAL” or “OFF” position.
or
The system can be pumped down by pressing the “SERVICE” button twice. To restart the system, press the “CLEAR” button.
or
The system can be pumped down for service by closing the liquid line service valve in the condensing unit, then closing the suction line service valve when the system trips on the low pressure switch.
Defrost
DEFROST TIMING
When power is first applied to the system, its timer starts counting time. If 4 defrosts are programmed, it will initiate a defrost every 6 hours from when power was first applied. Beacon II does not have a real time clock. Beacon II does provide the ability to delay the starting of the first defrost.
DEFROST DELAY START TIME
Example: The system is first powered up at 8:00 AM and is programmed for 4 defrosts per day. The user would like the first defrost at 10:00 AM. To accomplish this, use the “PROGRAM REVIEW” button to scroll to
dFS
. Use the “SELECTOR” switch to select 2 hours delay start, then press “ENTER”. The first defrost will
now occur at 10:00 AM and then a defrost will occur every 6 hours thereafter. TIME REMAINING UNTIL NEXT DEFROST (on version 1.8 boards)
To find out how much time is left until the next defrost is scheduled, use the “MONITOR” button to scroll to
dFS. The time displayed will be how much time until the next scheduled defrost.
DEFROST SCHEDULE IN MEMORY
Beacon II does not have a real time clock but it keeps track of the time that has elapsed in its memory. It also keeps in memory the number of defrosts scheduled and how much time has elapsed between defrosts. If a power failure occurs, when power is restored Beacon II will remember how many defrosts are scheduled and it will remember how much time was left until the next defrost. It will then defrost based on this timing. So, if the power failure lasted 15 minutes, the defrost schedule will be off by 15 minutes.
ELECTRIC DEFROST MODE
When a defrost is initiated, the EEV closes, the compressor is allowed to pumpdown and shut off. The evaporator fans are cycled off and the defrost heaters are energized.
There is a 2-minute condensate drain-down period after which the compressor is started for a refreeze period. The evaporator fan stays off (fan delay). The refreeze period will last until the evaporator suction temperature is at 28°F or 2 minutes has elapsed. After this sequence, the system is back in the refrigerating mode and the evaporators’ fans are not running.
AIR DEFROST MODE
The sequence is the same as for electric defrost except that there are no heaters and the evaporator fans run continuously.
22
Beacon II Controller
Alarms
Beacon II provides a set of dry contacts for use in signaling an alarm. These contacts can be connected to a light, a buzzer, a bell, etc., which will be activated when an alarm condition occurs. When the Beacon II is energized, the alarm contacts are OPENED. When an alarm condition is detected, the contacts are CLOSED.
Conditions under which the alarm contacts will close are:
High Box Temperature – LED Display: for the Alarm time
Low Box Temperature – LED Display: A2 – Room temperature has dropped below the Alarm Low value for the Alarm time
System Start-Up Failure – LED Display: A3 – Compressor pumps down and tries to restart after four minutes.

Beacon II Controller
Evaporator Fans Shut Off
In some installations, it is desirable to shut off the evaporator fans periodically. This is easily accomplished on Beacon II by wiring a single pole, single throw switch (SPST) between the terminals marked “SERVICE” and “COM” on the Beacon II board. Closing this switch will cause the system to pumpdown and shut off. Air defrost fan motors must be wired through the fan relay on the Beacon II board for this to be effective on air defrost systems. The entire system will be shut off and remain off until the SPST switch is opened.
Air defrost evaporator fans are setup to run constantly. If there is a need to shut down the evaporator fans on an air defrost system, it can be accomplished by wiring the evaporator fan motor or evaporator fan motor contactor through the fan relay on the Beacon II board. When this is done and the air defrost system is placed in “SERVICE” the evaporator fans will shut off when the system is in pumpdown.
Power Failures
In the event of a power failure, Beacon II will automatically close the expansion valve to prevent refrigerant from migrating throughout the system. After power returns, with 24 VAC at the board, the system will restart in the cooling mode after the 4-minute hold off period.
Spare Sensor Terminals
Beacon II provides a set of input terminals for customers who may want to monitor an additional temperature or items such as Product Temperature. This input terminal requires a signal from a thermistor which meets the temperature/resistance values in Table 4 below.
If a product temperature simulator is used, it must meet the resistance/temperature specification listed in Table 4 below. The temperature range for this input is -30°F to 140°F. Sensors on the Beacon II system, as supplied, will not simulate product temperature.
This input can be monitored on the LED display by using the “MONITOR” button and scrolling the values displayed will be the temperature of the spare sensor.

Checking Operation Of Expansion Valve (EEV)
To check if the expansion valve is closing properly;
Install a pressure gauge-set to suction line at the condensing unit. With the system running, close the valve on the liquid line, at the condensing unit. The system should pump-down and shut off on the Low Pressure switch (LPS). If the system does not pump-down and trip on the LPS then the compressor valves are weak and needs to be changed.
After the system pumps-down and trip on the LPS, turn off the power to the Beacon II board, then turn the power back on. This will cause the Expansion valve to close.
Open the valve on the liquid line, at the condensing unit. The suction pressure reading on the gauge set should not increase. If the suction pressure increases then the expansion valve is leaking and should be changed.
The expansion valve position can be monitored from the LED display pressing the “MONITOR” button and scrolling to
This can also be checked by using the EXV test pins on the board. This is indicated by a 0 to 5 Volts DC signa. At 0 Volt the valve is closed and at 5 Volts the valve is fully open. At values between 0 and 5 Volt, the valve will be opened proportionately.
ESP
. This will indicate the number of steps the valve is open.
Use the “MONITOR” button to display Start the system and observe the pressure displayed. If the pressure does not increase, the expansion valve could be defective.
If the system is running, use the the pressure displayed. While the system is running, press the pressure while the system is pumping down. The pressure should decrease. If it does not, this indicates a defective valve.

Expansion Valve Motor Winding Resistance
If the expansion valve is suspected of not functioning properly the motor windings resistance should be measured. This is a bipolar motor with two windings. Measure the resistance at the pins, on top of the valve, between locations A and B or C and D. (Note that the pins are not labeled A, B, C, D. This labeling is just for reference. Also, two of the pins, at location B and location D, have a wider spacing between them than between location A and C.)

Pins
For valve sizes 29320003 and 29320004, the resistance measured between pin locations A and B or C and D should be approximately 336 Ohms when the valve is at 75°F.
For valve sizes 29320007, 29320008, 29320013, and 29320014, the resistance measured between pin locations A and B or C and D should be approximately 116 Ohms when valve is at 75°F.
Measuring resistance between locations A and C or B and D will always show “Open” because these locations are between the motor windings.
When the valve is opening or closing, the voltage measured between A and B or C and D should be between 20 to 22 VAC.
Measuring the DC volt of the EXV TEST pins, on the board, will also indicate if the expansion valve is open or close. 0 volts DC indicates the valve us closed, 5 volts DC indicates the valve is fully open. A Values between 0 and 5 volts indicates how much the valve is open or close.

Refrigeration Charging
Refrigeration Charging
1. Install a liquid line drier in the refrigerant supply line between the service gauge and the liquid service port of the receiver. This extra drier will insure that all refrigerant supplied to the system is clean and dry.
2. When initially charging a system that is in a vacuum, liquid refrigerant can be added directly into the receiver tank to break the vacuum. Weighing in the charge is recommended with the initial charge consisting of approximately 2 pounds per system compressor horsepower.
3. Remove the refrigerant drum and connect it to the suction side of the compressor to charge with refrigerant vapor into the low side of the system until the pressure is above atmospheric.
4. Start the system and finish charging until the sight glass indicates a full charge and the proper amount has been weighed in (a total of 4 to 5 pounds per system compressor horsepower).
5. If refrigerant must be added to the system through the suction side of the compressor, charge in vapor form only. Liquid charging must be done in the high side only or with liquid metering devices to protect the compressor.
Note: Maximum refrigerant charge for the cooler system should not exceed 20# (R-22). Maximum refrigerant charge for the freezer systems should not to exceed 10# (R404A).
Check-Out & Start-Up
After the installation has been completed, the following points should be covered before the system is placed in operation: (a) Check all electrical and refrigerant connections. Be sure they are all correct and tight. (b) Check voltage taps on transformer. The transformer is shipped wired to 240 voltage tap/connection. If your supply voltage is 208 volt systems, change to 208 voltage tap. (b) Check setting of time delay relay for low pressure switch in condensing unit. It should be set at two minutes (the third marker). (c) Check high and low pressure controls, pressure regulating valves, oil pressure safety controls, and all other safety controls and adjust them, if necessary. (d) On freezers only, check the low pressure switch setting. It must be set to 0 PSIG cut out, 10 PSIG cut in, to allow start and operation, especially in cold ambients. (e) Liquid line should always be insulated. (f) Wiring diagrams, instruction bulletins, etc. attached to the condensing units should be read and filed for future reference. (g) All fan motors on air cooled condensers, evaporators, etc. should be checked for proper rotation. Fan motor mounts should be carefully checked for tightness and proper alignment. (h) Observe system pressures during charging and initial operation. Do not add oil while the system is short of refrigerant unless oil level is dangerously low. (i) Continue charging until system has sufficient refrigerant for proper operation. Do not overcharge. Remember that bubbles in a sight glass may be caused by a restriction as well as a shortage of refrigerant. (j) 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 at the center of the sight glass. (k) At initial start-up, the system may cycle off at 2 minutes and display a low superheat error, then restart itself. This cycle may be repeated a few times. Do not shut the system off. Let the system run, as it may take a few cycles for the electric expansion valve to attain the correct setting for the desired superheat.
CAUTION: Extreme care must be taken in starting compressors for the first time after system charging. At this time, all of the oil and most of the refrigerant might be in the compressor creating a condition which could cause compressor damage due to slugging. Activating the crankcase heater for 24 hours prior to start-up is recommended. If no crankcase heater is present, then directing a 500 watt heat lamp or other safe heat source on the lower shell of the compressor for approximately thirty minutes will be beneficial in eliminating this condition which might never reoccur.
27
Operational Checkout
After the system has been charged and has operated for at least 2 hours at normal operating conditions without any indication of malfunction, it should be allowed to operate overnight on automatic controls. Then a thorough re-check of the entire system operation should be made as follows:
(a) Check compressor discharge and suction pressures. If not within system design limits, determine why
and take corrective action.
(b) 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.
(c) Using suitable instruments, carefully check line voltage and amperage at the compressor terminals.
Voltage must be within 10% of that indicated on the condensing unit nameplate. If high or low voltage is indicated, notify the power company. If amperage draw is excessive, immediately determine the cause and take corrective action. On 3 phase motor compressors, check to see that a balanced load is drawn by each phase.
(d) The maximum approved settings for high pressure controls on Heatcraft air cooled condensing
equipment is 400 psig. On air cooled systems, check as follows:
• Disconnect the fan motors or block the condenser inlet air.
• Watch high pressure gauge for cutout point.
• Re-check all safety & operating controls for proper operation and adjust if necessary. (e) Check head pressure controls for pressure setting. (f) Check crankcase heater operation if used. (g) Install instruction card and control system diagram for use of building manager or owner.
System Balancing
IMPORTANT: In order to obtain the maximum capacity from a system, and to
ensure trouble-free operation, it is essential to balance each and every system.
The critical value to be checked here is suction superheat at the compressor:
1. Measure the suction pressure at the suction service valve of the compressor and determine the saturation temperature corresponding to this pressure from a “Temperature-Pressure” chart.
2. Measure the suction temperature of the suction line about one foot back from the compressor using an accurate thermometer.
3. Subtract the saturated temperature from the actual suction line temperature. The difference is superheat. Too low a suction superheat can result in liquid being returned to the compressor. This will cause dilution of
the oil and eventual failure of the bearings and rings or in the extreme case, valve failure or even “slugging” of the compressor.
Too high a suction superheat will result in excessive discharge temperatures which causes a break down of the oil and results in piston ring wear, piston and cylinder wall damage.
It should also be remembered that the system capacity decreases as the suction superheat increases. For maximum system capacity, suction superheat should be kept as low as is practical. Copeland mandates a minimum superheat of 20ºF and a maximum of 45ºF at the compressor. Heatcraft recommends a superheat of 30ºF.
Adjust the superheat by changing the superheat setting on the board to increase or decrease as needed to obtain desired superheat value at the compressor.
28
Preventive Maintenance
Routine preventive maintenance of any mechanical equipment is critical to its long term reliability. During even normal operation all equipment will expeerience some deterioration during its lifetime caused by wear and evironmental influences. For that reason, regularly scheduled maintenance of your refrigeration equipment is required in order to keep it operating to its maximum efficiency while avoiding potentially costly repairs of a premature failure due to equipment neglect. The following is Heatcraft’s minimum recommendations for regularly scheduled preventive maintenance of your 7-Eleven refrigeration system. Qualified and licensed refrigeration companies only should perform all preventive and corrective maintenance on refrigeration equipment. While we cannot guarantee that close adherence to these recommendations will eliminate all equipment problems, it will greatly reduce the potential for mechanical and electrical failures thus providing increased reliability.
