supplied with the unit and should not be used.
NOTE: Unit is shipped with R-22 holding charge. System pressure must be relieved before removing caps. Recover refrigerant prior to brazing.
Pass nitrogen or other inert gas through piping while brazing to prevent formation of copper oxide.
Install field-supplied thermostatic expansion valve(s) in evaporator section. It is recommended that a field supplied liquid line solenoid be positioned in the main liquid line (near
the evaporator coil). It should be wired to close when compressor stops to minimize refrigerant migration during the
‘‘OFF’’ cycle.
NOTE: Values shown are for units operating at 45 F (7.2 C) saturated
suction and 95 F (35 C) entering air.
V. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING:
The unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted, unbroken electrical ground to minimize the possibility of personal injury if an electrical fault should
occur. This ground may consist of electrical wire connected to the unit ground lug in the control compartment or conduit approved for electrical ground when
installed in accordance with the NEC and local electrical codes. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in personal injury.
CAUTION:
Failure to follow these precautions could
result in damage to the unit being installed:
A. Field Power Supply (Fig. 6-8)
1. Make all electrical connections in accordance with NEC
ANSI/NFPA (American National Standards Institute/
National Fire ProtectionAssociation) 70, latest edition,
and local electrical codes governing such wiring. Refer
to unit wiring diagram.
2. Use only copper or copper-clad conductor fan connections between field-supplied electrical disconnect switch
and unit. DO NOT USE ALUMINUM WIRE. Maximum
wire size is no. 2 AWG (American Wire Gage).
3. Voltage to compressor terminals during operation must
be within voltage range indicated on unit nameplate (also
see Table 4). On 3-phase units, voltages between phases
must be balanced within 2% and the current within 10%.
Use the formula shown inTable 4, Note 2, to determine
the percent voltage imbalance. Operation on improper
line voltage or excessive phase imbalance constitutes abuse
and may cause damage to electrical components. Such
operation would invalidate any applicable warranty.
4. Insulate low-voltage wires for highest voltage contained within conduit when low-voltage control wires are
run in same conduit as high-voltage wires.
5. Donot damage internal components when drilling through
any panel to mount electrical hardware, conduit, etc.
—6—
All units except 208/230-v units are factory wired for the voltage shown on the nameplate. If the 208/230-v unit is to be
connected to a 208-v power supply, the transformer must be
rewired by moving the black wire from the 230-v orange wire
on the transformer and connecting it to the 200-v red wire
from the transformer. The end of the orange wire must then
be insulated.
Refer to unit label diagram for additional information. Pigtails are provided for field wire connections. Use factorysupplied splices or UL (Underwriters’Laboratories) approved
copper/aluminum connector.
When installing units, provide a disconnect per NEC.
All field wiring must comply with NEC and local
requirements.
Install field wiring as follows:
1. Install conduit through side panel openings.
2. Install power lines to terminal connections as shown in
Fig. 6.
B. Control Voltage Connections
Install an accessory thermostat assembly according to installation instructions included with the accessory. Locate thermostat assembly on a solid wall in the conditioned space to
sense average temperature in accordance with thermostat
installation instructions.
Route thermostat cable or equivalent single leads of colored
wire from subbase terminals to low-voltage connections on
unit (shown in Fig. 7) as described in Steps 1 through 4
below.
NOTE: Refer to Table 5 for wire conversion information.
NOTE: For wire runs up to 50 ft (15.2 m), use no. 18 AWG
(0.82 mm) insulated wire (35 C minimum). For 50 to 75 ft
(15.2 to 22.9 m), use no. 16 AWG (1.30 mm) insulated wire
(35 C minimum). For over 75 ft (22.9 m), use no. 14 AWG
(2.08 mm) insulated wire (35 C minimum). All wire larger
than no. 18 AWG (0.82 mm) cannot be directly connected to
the thermostat and will require a junction box and splice at
the thermostat.
1. Connect thermostat wires to screw terminals of low voltage connection board.
2. Pass the control wires through the hole provided in the
corner post. See Fig. 8.
3. Feed wire through raceway built into the corner post
and into the 24-v thermostat connection board. The 24-v
thermostat connection is located on the left side of the
low voltage connection compartment. The raceway provides the UL required clearance between the high- and
low-voltage wiring.
4. Total combined amperage draw of the field-installed liquid line solenoid valve and indoor fan contactor must
not exceed 22 va. If the specified va must be exceeded,
use a remote relay to switch the load.

VI. ACCESSORY INSTALLATION
At this time any required accessories should be installed on
the unit. Refer to Table 6 for available accessories. Control
wiring information is provided in the unit wiring book.
1. Follow recognized safety practices and wear protective goggles when checking or servicing refrigerant system.
2. Do not operate compressor or provide any electric
power to unit unless compressor terminal cover is
in place and secured.
3. Do not remove compressor terminal cover until all
electrical sources have been disconnected.
4. If refrigerant leak is suspected around compressor terminals, recover refrigerant whenever possible and relieve all pressure from system before
touching or disturbing anything inside terminal box.
5. Never attempt to repair soldered connection while
refrigerant system is under pressure.
6. Do not use torch to remove any component. System contains oil and refrigerant under pressure.
To remove a component, wear protective goggles
and proceed as follows:
a. Shut off electrical power to unit.
b. Recover refrigerant. Relieve all pressure from
system.
c. Cut component-connecting tubing with tubing
cutter and remove component from unit.
d. Carefully unsweat remaining tubing stubs when
necessary. Oil can ignite when exposed to torch
flame.
Proceed as follows to inspect and prepare the unit for initial
start-up:
1. Field electrical power source must agree with unit nameplate rating.
2. Check voltage imbalance as shown in Table 4, Note 2.
3. Check that all internal wiring connections are tight and
that all barriers, covers, and panels are in place.
4. Ensure all service valves are open. On 576B units, be
sure all compressor service valves are backseated.
5. Verify thatcompressor holddown boltshave been loosened and that flat/snubber washers can be rotated by
applying finger pressure (snug, but not tight).
6. On 569C and 576Bunits, verify compressor crankcase
heater is securely in place.Crankcase heater must operate for a least 24 hours before start-up.
7. Note that compressor oil level is visible in the sight
glass (576B units only).
8. Check for leaks in refrigerant system by using soap
bubbles and/or electronic leak detector.
9. Check that liquid line solenoid valve is located at evaporator coil as shown in Filter Drier and Moisture Indicator section, page 6.
10. Check that both outdoor and indoor units are properly
mounted in accordance with installation instructions
and applicable codes.

START-UP
I. START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION:
in the Pre-Start-Up section before starting the unit.
Do not jumper any safety devices when operating the
unit.
Do not operate the compressor when the outdoor tem-
perature is below 25 F (24 C) (unless accessory low ambient kit is installed).
A. Checking Cooling Control Operation
Start and check the unit for proper cooling control operation
as follows:
1. Place room thermostat SYSTEM switch in OFF position. Observe that blower motor starts when FAN switch
is placed in ON position and shuts down when FANswitch
is placed in AUTO. position.
2. Place SYSTEM switch in COOL position and FAN switch
in AUTO. position. Set cooling control below room temperature. Observe that compressor and condenser- and
evaporator-fan motors start. Observe that cooling cycle
shuts down when control setting is satisfied.
B. Unit Controls
All units have the following internal-protection controls:
Compressor Overload
This overload interrupts power to the compressor when
either the current or internal motor winding temperature become excessive, and automatically resets when the internal
temperature drops to a safe level. This overload may require
up to 60 minutes (or longer) to reset. If the internal overload
is suspected of being open, disconnect the electrical power to
the unit and check the circuit through the overload with an
ohmmeter or continuity tester.
Time Guardt II Device
The unit is equipped with accessory Time Guard II recycle
timer. The device will cause a 5-minute delay between compressor starts.
Cycle-LOC™ Device
When high-pressure or low-pressure fault occurs, the Cycle-
LOC device will protect the system by not allowing the compressor to start.
Low-Pressure/Loss of Charge Switch (LPS)
When the liquid line pressure drops below 7 psig (48 kPa),
the LPS opens 24-v power to the compressor contactor and
stops the compressor. When the pressure reaches 22 psig
(152 kPa), the switch resets and the compressor is allowed to
restart.
High-Pressure Switch (HPS)
When the refrigerant high-side pressure reaches 426 psig
(2937 kPa), the HPS opens 24-v power to the compressor contactor and stops the compressor. When the pressure drops to
320 psig (2206 kPa), the switch resets and the compressor is
allowed to restart.
C. Sequence of Operation
At start-up, the thermostat calls for cooling. When all safety
devices are satisfied, the compressor contactor (fan contactor) will energize causing the compressor and outdoor (condenser) fan motor to operate.Terminal 9G9 at thethermostat
is also energized, allowing the field-supplied and -installed
(24v) indoor (evaporator) fan contactor to function. A fieldsupplied and -installed liquid line valve (connected between
Complete the required procedures given
Terminals G and C) will also open, allowing the system to
function in cooling. As cooling demand is satisfied, the thermostat contacts break, deenergizing the contactor causing the
system to shut off. The liquid line solenoid (LLS) valve closes,
minimizing the potential for refrigerant migration at this time.
The compressor does not restart until the thermostat again
calls for cooling. If a demandfor cooling occurs within 5minutes after the thermostat is satisfied, the system will not restart due to the feature of Time Guard II device. After the
5-minute time period, the system will restart as normal upon
thermostat demand.
The system is protected with a Cycle-LOC device so that the
compressor will not start if a high-pressure or low-pressure
fault occurs. To reset the Cycle-LOC device, set the thermostat to eliminate the cooling demand then return to the original set point. This should be done only once, and if system
shuts down due to the same fault, determine the problem before attempting to reset the Cycle-LOC device.
The crankcase heaters must be energized for a minimum of
24 hours before starting a 569C and 576B unit.
D. Oil Charge
576B Units
Allow unit to run for about 20 minutes. Stop unit and check
compressor oil level.Add oil only if necessary to bring oil into
view in sight glass. Use only approved compressor oil.
Approved oils are:
Suniso 3GS
WF32-150
If oil is added, run unit for an additional 10 minutes. Stop
unit and check oil level. If level is still low, add oil only after
determining that piping system is designed for proper oil return and that system is not leaking oil.
569C Units
The 569C units do not have a sight glass and are factory charged
with the correct amount of oil.
All Units
Do not reuse drained oil or use any oil that has been exposed
to the atmosphere. Procedures for adding or removing oil are
given in the Standard Service Techniques Manual, Chapter 1,
Refrigerants.
