ECM Motor
Fig. 3 -- Direct-- Drive Supply Fan Assembly
ECM Motor — The direct--drive motor is an X13
Electronically Commutated Motor (ECM). An ECM motor contains electronic circuitry used to convert single--phase line AC voltage into 3--phase DC voltage to power the motor circuit. The motor circuit is a DC brushless design with a permanent ma gnet rot or. On the X13 ECM Motor design, the electronic circuitry is integral to the motor assembly and cannot be serviced or replaced separately.
208/230V units use a 230V motor. 460V units use a 230V motor with a stepdown transformer (mounted on the end of the fan housing, see Fig. 3). 575V units use a 460V motor with an autotransformer. Motor power voltage is

Evaluating motor speed — The X13 ECM Motor uses a
constant torque motor design. The motor speed is adjusted by the motor control circuitry to maintain the programmed shaft torque. Consequently there is no specific speed value assigned to each control tap setting. At the Position 5 tap, the motor speed is approximately 1050 RPM (17.5 r/s) but varies depending on fan wheel loading.
Selecting speed tap — The five communication terminals are each programmed to provide a different motor torque output. See Table 1. Factory default tap selection is Position 1 for lowest torque/speed operation.

Factory Default: Tap 1 (VIO)
Selecting another speed:
1. Disconnect main power to the unit. Apply lockout/tagout procedures.
2. Remove the default motor signal lead (VIO) from terminal 1 at the motor communications terminal.
3. Reconnect the motor signal lead to the desired speed (terminals 1 through 5).
4. Connect main power to the unit.

Motor “rocking” on start--up — When the motor first starts, the rotor (and attached wheel) will “rock” back and forth as the motor tests for rotational direction. Once the correct rotational direction is determined by the motor circuitry, the motor will ramp up to the specified speed. The “rocking” is a normal operating characteristic of ECM mot ors.
Troubleshooting the ECM motor — Troubleshooting the X13 ECM requires a voltmeter.
1. Disconnect main power to the unit.
2. Remove the motor power plug (including the control BRN lead) and VIO control signal lead at the motor terminals.
3. Restore main unit power.
4. Check for proper line voltage at motor power leads BLK (at L terminal) and YEL (at N terminal). See Table 2.

208/230 230 190---250
460 230 210--- 250 575 460 420--- 500
5. Using a jumper wire from unit control terminals R to G, engage motor operation. Check for 24v output at the defrost board terminal IFO.
6. Check for proper control signal voltages of 22V to 28V at motor signal leads VIO and BRN.
7. Disconnect unit main power. Apply lockout/tagout procedures.
8. Reconnec t motor power and control signal leads at the motor terminals.
9. Restore unit main power.
10. The motor should start and run. If the motor does not start, remove the motor assembly. Replace the motor with one having the same part number. Do not substitute with an alternate design motor as the torque/ speed programming will not be the same as that on an original factory motor.
Replacing the X--13 ECM Motor — Before removing the ECM belly--band mounting ring from old motor:
1. Measure the distance from base of the motor shaft to the edge of the mounting ring.
2. Remove the motor mounti ng band and transfer it to the replacement motor.
3. Position the mounting band at the same distance that was measured in Step 1.
4. Hand--tighten mounting bolt only. Do not tighten securely at this time.
5. Insert the m otor shaft into t he fan wheel hub.
6. Securely tighten the three motor mount arms to the support cushions and torque the arm mounting screws to 60 in--lbs (6.8 Nm).
7. Center the fan wheel in the fan housing. Tighten the fan wheel hub setscrew and torque to 120 in--lbs (13.6 Nm).
8. Ensure the motor terminals are located at a position below the 3 o’clock position (see Fig. 3). Tighten the motor belly--band bolt and torque to 80 in--lbs (9.0 Nm).
Supply Fan (Belt--Drive)
The belt--drive supply fan system consists of a forward--curved centrifugal blower wheel on a solid shaft with two concentric type bearings, one on each side of the
5
blower housing. A fixed--pitch driven pulley is attached to the fan shaft and an adjustable--pitch driver pulley is on the motor. The pulleys are connected using a V--belt. (See Fig. 6.).

Belt
Check the belt condition and tension quarterly. Inspect the belt for signs of cracki ng, fraying or glazing along the inside surfaces. Check belt tension by using a spring--force tool, such as Browning’s “Belt Tension Checker” (p/n: 1302546 or equivalent tool); tension should be 6--lbs at a
5
/8--in (1.6 cm). deflection when measured at the centerline of the belt span. This point is at the center of the belt when measuring the distance between the motor shaft and the blower shaft.
NOTE: Without the spring--tension tool, place a straight edge across the belt surface at the pulleys, then push down on the belt at mid--span using one finger until a (1.3 cm) deflection is reached. See Fig. 7.
Adjust belt tension by loosening the motor mounting plate front and rear bolts and sliding the plate toward the fan (to reduce tension) or away from fan (to increase tension). Ensure the blower shaft and the motor shaft are parallel to each other (pulleys aligned). When finished, tighten all bolts and torque to 65--70 in--lb (7.4 to 7.9 Nm).

Replacing the Belt:
NOTE: Use a belt with same section type or similar size.
Do not substitute a FHP--type belt. When installing the new belt, do not use a tool (screwdriver or pry--bar) to force the belt over the pulley flanges, this will stress the belt and cause a reduction in belt life. Damage to the pulley can also occur.
Use the following steps to replace the V--belt. See Fig. 6.
1. Loosen the front and rear motor mounting plate bolts.
2. Push the motor and its mounting plate towards the blower housing as c lose as possible to reduce the center distance between fan shaft and motor shaft.
3. Remove the belt by gently lifting the old belt over one of the pulleys.
4. Install the new belt by gently sliding the belt over both pulleys and then sliding the motor and plate away from the fan housing until proper tension is achieved.
CAUTION
!
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this CAUTION can result in premature wear and damage to equipment.
Do not use a screwdriver or a pry bar to pl ace the new V--belt in the pulley groove. This can cause stress on the V--belt and the pulley resulting in premature wear on the V--belt and damage to the pulley.
5. Check the alignment of the pulleys, adjust if necessary.
6. Tighten all bolts and torque to 65--70 in--lb (7.4 to 7.9 Nm).
7. Check the tension after a few hours of runtime and re--adjust as required.
Adjustable--Pitch Pulley on Motor
The motor pulley is an adjustable--pitch type that allows a servicer to implement changes in the fan wheel speed to match as--installed ductwork systems. The pulley consists of a fixed flange side that faces the motor (secured to the motor shaft) and a movable flange side that can be rotated

Fig. 9 -- Tightening Locking Collar
As the pitch diameter is changed by adjusting the position of the movable flange , the centerline on this pulley shifts laterally (along the motor shaft). This creates a requirement for a re alignment of the pulleys after any adjustment of the movable flange. Reset the belt tension after each realignment.
Inspect the condition of the motor pulley for signs of wear. Glazing of the belt contact surfaces and erosion on these surfaces are signs of improper belt tension and/or belt slippage. Replace pulley if wear is excessive.
Changing the Fan Speed:
1. Shut off unit power supply. Use proper lockout/tagout procedures.
2. Loosen belt by l oosening fan motor mounting nuts. (See Fig. 6.)
3. Loosen movable pulley fla nge setscrew. (See Fig. 8.)
4. Screw movable flange toward fixed flange to increase speed and away from fixed flange to decrease speed. Increasing fan speed increases load on motor. Do not exceed the maximum specified speed.
5. Set movable flange at nearest keyway of pulley hub. Tighten setscrew and torque to 65--70 in--lb (7.4 to 7.9 Nm).
Aligning Blower and Motor Pulleys:
1. Loosen blower pulley setscrews.
2. Slide blower pul ley along blower shaft. Make angular alignment by loosening motor mounting plate front and rear bolts.
3. Tighten blower pulley setscrews and motor mounting bolts. Torque bolts to 65--70 in--lb (7.4 to 7.9 Nm).
4. Rechec k belt tension.
Bearings
The fan system uses bearings featuring concentric split locking collars. A Torx T--25 socket head cap screw is used to tighten the loc king collars. Tighten the locking collar by holding it tightly against the inner race of the bearing. Tighten the socket head cap screw. Torque cap screw to 65--70 in--lb (7.4--7.9 Nm). See Fig. 9. Check the
STAGED AIR VOLUME CONTROL --

FREQUENCY DRIVE (VFD)
Staged Air Volume (SAV) Indoor Fan Speed System
The Staged Air Volume (SAV) system utilizes a Fan Speed control board and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) to automatically adjust the indoor fan motor speed in sequence with the unit’s ventilation, cooling and heating operation. Per ASHRAE 90.1 2010 standard section
6.4.3.10.b, during the first stage of cooling operation the SAV system will adjust the fan motor to provide
two--thirds (2/3) of the design airflow rate for the unit. When the call for the second stage of cooling is required,
the SAV system will allow the design airflow rate for the unit established (100%). During the heating mode, the
SAV system will allow total design airflow rate (100%) operation. During ventilation mode, the SAV system will
operate the fan motor at 2/3 speed.

teeth on the lock washer are in contact with the motor’s painted base. Tighten motor mounting bolts to 120  12 in--lbs.
Changing Fan Wheel Speed
Changing fan wheel speed by changing pulleys: The horsepower rating of the belt is primarily dictated by the pitch diameter of the smaller pulley in the drive system (typically the motor pulley in these units). Do not install a replacement motor pulley with a smaller pitch diameter than provided on the original factory pulley. Change fan wheel speed by changing the fan pulley (larger pitch diameter to reduce wheel speed, smaller pitch diameter to increase wheel speed) or select a new system (both pulleys and matching belt).
Before changing pulleys to increase fan wheel speed, check the fan performance at the target speed and airflow rate to determine new motor loading (bhp). Use the fa n performance tables or use the Packaged Rooftop Builder software program. Confirm that the motor in this unit is capable of operating at the new operating condition. Fan shaft loading increases dramatically as wheel speed is increased.
To reduce vibration, replace the motor’s adjustable pitch pulley with a fixed pitch pulley (after the final airflow balance adjustment). This will reduce the amount of vibration generated by the motor/belt--drive system.

WARNING
UNIT OPERATION AND SAFETY HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could cause personal injury, death and/or equipment damage.
This system uses PuronR refrigerant which has higher pressures than R--22 and other refrigerants. No other refrigerant may be used in this system. Gauge set, hoses, and recovery system must be designe d to handle Puron refrigerant. If unsure about equipment, consult the equipment manufacturer.
Condenser Coil
The condenser coil is fabricated with round tube coppe r hairpins and plate fins of various materials and/or coatings
50HC
(see Model Number Format in the Appendix to identify the materials provided in this unit). The coil may be one--row or composite--type two--row. Composite t wo--row coils are two single--row coils fabricated with a single return bend end tubesheet.
Condenser Coil Maintenance and Cleaning Recommendation
Routine cleaning of coil surfaces is essential to maintain proper operation of the unit. Elimination of contamination and removal of harmful residues will greatly increase the life of the coil and extend the life of the unit. The following maintenance and cleaning procedures are recommended as part of the routine maintenance activities to extend the life of the coil.
Routine Cleaning of Coil Surfaces
Periodic cleaning with TotalineR environmental ly sound coil cleaner is essential to extend the life of coils. This cleaner is available from Replacement Components Division as part number P902--0301 for a one gallon container, and part number P902--0305 for a 5 gallon container. It is recommended that all coils, including standard aluminum, pre--coated, copper/copper or E--coated coils be cleaned with the Totaline environmentally sound coil cleaner as described below. Coil cleaning should be part of the unit’s regularly scheduled maintenance proc edures to ensure long life of the coil. Failure to clean the coils may result in reduced durability in the environment.
Avoid use of:
S coil brighteners
S acid cleaning prior to painting
S high pressure washers
S poor quality water for cleaning
Totaline environmentally sound coil cleaner is nonflammable, hypo allergenic, non bacterial, and a USDA accepted biodegradable agent that will not harm the coil or surrounding components such as electrical wiring, painted metal surfaces, or insulation. Use of non--recommended coil cleaners is strongly discouraged since coil and unit durability could be affected.
One--Row Coil
Wash coil with commercial coil cleaner. It is not necessary to remove top panel.
Two--Row Coils
Remove Surface Loaded Fibers
Surface loaded fibers or dirt should 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 should be applied in the direction of the fins. Coil surfaces can be easily damaged (fin edges can be easily bent over and damage to the coating of a protected coil) if the tool is applied across the fins.
NOTE: 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.
Periodic Clean Water Rinse
A periodic clean water rinse is very beneficial for coils that are appli ed in coastal or industrial e nvironments. However, it is very important that the water rinse is made with a very low velocity water stream to avoid damaging the fin edges. Monthly cleaning as described below is recommended. Rinsing coils in the opposite direction of airflow is recommende d.
Clean coil as follows:
1. Turn off unit power, tag disconnect.
2. Remove top panel screws on condenser end of unit.
3. Remove condenser coil corner post. See Fig. 14. To hold top panel open, place coil corner post between top panel and center post. See Fig. 15.
C08205
Fig. 14 -- Cleaning Condenser Coil
12
Fig. 15 -- Propping Up Top Panel
4. Remove screws securing coil to compressor plate and compressor access panel.
5. Remove fastener holding coil sections together at re­turn end of condenser coil. Carefully separate the out­er coil section 3 to 4 in. from the inner coil section. See Fig. 16.
Fig. 16 -- Separating Coil Sections
6. Use a water hose or other suitable equipment to flush down between t he 2 coil sections to remove dirt and debris. Clean the outer surfaces with a stiff brush in the normal manne r.
7. Secure inner and outer coil rows together with a field--supplied fastener.
8. Reposition the outer coil section and remove the coil corner post from between the top panel and center post. Reinstall the coil corner post and replace all screws.
Totaline Environmentally Sound Coil Cleaner Application Equipment
S 2--1/2 gallon garden sprayer
S Water rinse with low velocity spray nozzle
CAUTION
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in reduced unit performance or unit shutdown.
High velocity water from a pressure washer, garden hose, or compressed air should never be used to clean a coil. The force of the water or air jet will bend the fin edges and increa se airside pressure drop.
C08206
C08207
CAUTION
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in accelerated corrosion of unit parts.
Harsh chemicals, household bleach or acid or basic cleaners should not be used to clean outdoor or indoor coils of any kind. These cleaners can be very difficult to rinse out of the coil and can accelerate corrosion at the fin/tube interface where dissimilar materials are in contact. If there is dirt below the surface of the coil, use the Totaline environmentally sound coil cleaner.
Totaline Environmentally Sound Coil Cleaner Application Instructions
1. Proper eye protection such as safety glasses is recom­mended during mixing and application.
2. Remove all surface loaded fibers and dirt with a vacu­um cleaner as described above.
3. Thoroughly wet finned surfaces with clean water and a low ve locity garden hose, being careful not to bend fins.
4. Mix Totaline environmentally sound coil cleaner in a 2--1/2 gallon garden sprayer according to the instruc­tions included with the cleaner. The optimum solution temperature is 100_F.
NOTE: Do NOT USE water in excess of 130_F, as the enzymatic activity will be destroyed.
5. Thoroughly apply Totaline environmentally sound coil cleaner solution to all coil surfaces including finned area, tube sheets and coil headers.
6. Hold garden sprayer nozzle close to finned areas and apply cleaner with a vertical, up--and--down motion. Avoid spraying in horizontal pattern to minimize po­tential for fin damage.
7. Ensure cleaner thoroughly penetrates dee p into finned areas.
8. Interior and exterior finned areas must be thoroughly cleaned.
9. Finned surfaces should remain wet with cleaning solution for 10 minutes.
10. Ensure surfaces are not allowed to dry before rinsing. Reapplying cleaner as needed to ensure 10--minute saturation is achieved.
11. Thoroughly rinse all surfaces with low velocity clean water using downward rinsing motion of water spray nozzle. Protect fins from damage from the spray nozzle.
Evaporator Coil
Cleaning the Evaporator Coil
1. Turn unit power off. Install lockout tag. Remove evaporator coil access panel.
2. If economizer or two--position damper is installed, re­move economizer by disconnecting Molex plug and removing mounting screws.
3. Slide filters out of unit.
50HC
13
4. Clean coil using a commercial coil cleaner or dish­washer detergent in a pressurized spray canister. Wash both sides of coil and flush with clean water. For best results, back--flush toward return--air section to re­move foreign material. Flush condensate pan after completion.
5. Reinstall economizer and filters.
6. Reconnec t wiring.
7. Replace access panels.
THERMOSTATIC EXPANSION
VALVE (TXV)
All 50HC’s have a factory installed nonadjustable thermostatic expansion valve (TXV). The TXV will be a bi-flow, bleed port expansion valve with an external equalizer. TXVs are specifically designed to operate with PuronR or R-22 refrigerant, use only factory authorized TXVs. Do not interchange Puron and R-22 TXVs.
50HC
TXV Operation
The TXV is a metering device that is used in air conditioning and heat pump systems to adjust to the changing load conditions by maintaining a preset superheat temperature at the outlet of the evaporator coil.
6. Install the new TXV using a wrench and an additional wrench on connections to prevent damage to tubing while attaching TXV to distributor.
7. Attach the equalizer tube to the suction line. If the coil has mechanical a connection, then use a wrench and an additional wrench on connections to prevent damage. If the coil has a brazed connection, use a file or a tubing cutter to remove the mechanical flare nut from the equalizer line. Then use a new coupling to braze the equalizer line to t he stub (previous equalizer line) in suction line.
8. Attach TXV bulb in the same location where the ori­ginal (in the sensing bulb indent) was when it was re­moved, using the supplied bulb clamps. See Fig. 17.
THERMAL EXPANSION (TXV) VALVE
The volume of refrigerant metered through the valve seat is dependent upon the following:
1. Superheat temperature is sensed by cap tube sensing bulb on suction tube at outlet of evaporator coil. This temperature is converted into pressure by refrigerant in the bulb pushing downward on the diaphragm which opens the valve using the push rods.
2. The suction pressure at the outlet of the evaporator coil is transferred through the e xternal equalizer tube to the underside of the diaphragm.
3. The pin is spring loaded, which exerts pressure on the underside of the diaphragm. Therefore, the bulb pres­sure works against the spring pressure and evaporator suction pressure to open the valve. If the load in­creases, the temperature increases at the bulb, which increases the pressure on the top side of the dia­phragm. This opens the valve and increases the flow of refrigerant. The increased refrigerant flow causes the leaving evaporator temperature to decrease. This lowers the pressure on the diaphragm and closes the pin. The refrigerant flow is effectively stabilized to the load demand with negligible change in superheat.

9. Route equalizer tube through suction connection opening (large hole) in fitting panel and install fitting panel in place.
10. Sweat the inlet of TXV marked “IN” to the liquid line. Avoid excessive heat which could damage the TXV valve. Use quenching cloth when applying heat anywhere on TXV.
Refrigerant System Pressure Access Ports
1. Recover refrigerant.
2. Remove TXV support clamp using a 5/l6-in. nut driver.
3. Remove TXV using a wrench and an additional wrench on connections to prevent damage to tubing.
4. Remove equalizer tube from suction line of coil. Use file or tubing cutter to cut brazed equalizer line approximately 2 i nches above suction tube.
5. Remove bulb from vapor tube inside cabinet.
There are two access ports in the system -- on the suction tube near the compressor and on the discharge tube near the compressor. These are brass fittings with black plastic caps. The hose connection fittings are standard 1/4 SAE male flare couplings.
The brass fittings are two-- piece High Flow valves, with a receptacle base brazed to the tubing and an integral spring--closed check valve core screwed into the base. See Fig. 18. This check valve is permanently assembled into this core body and cannot be serviced separately; replace
14
the entire core body if necessary. Service tools are available from RCD that allow the replacement of the check val ve core without having to recover the entire system refrigerant charge. Apply compressor refrigerant oil to the check valve core’s bottom o--ring. Install the fitting body with 96  10 in--lbs (10.85 1.1 Nm) of torque; do not overtighten.
PURONR (R--410A) REFRIGERANT
This unit is designed for use with Puron (R-- 410A) refrigerant. Do not use any other refrigerant in this system. Puron (R--410A) refrigerant is provided in pink (rose) colored cylinders.
Puron (R--410A) refrigerant is provided in pink (rose) colored cylinders. These cylinders are available with and without dip tubes; cylinders with dip tubes will have a label indicating this feature. For a cylinder with a dip tube, place the cylinder in the upright position (access valve at the t op) when removing liquid refrigerant for charging. For a cylinder without a dip tube, invert the cylinder (access valve on the bottom) when removing liquid refrigerant.
Because Puron (R--410A) refrigerant is a blend, it is strongly recommended that refrigerant always be removed from the cylinder as a liquid. Admit liquid refrigerant into the system in the discharge line. If adding refrigerant into the suction line, use a commercial metering/expansion device at the gauge manifold; remove liquid from the cylinder, pass it through the metering device at the gauge set and then pass it into the suction line as a vapor. Do not remove Puron (R--410A) refrigerant from the cylinder as a vapor.
Refrigerant Charge
No Charge
Use standard evacuating techniques. After evacuating system, weigh in the specified amount of refrigerant.
Low--Charge Cooling
Using Cooling Charging Charts, Fig. 19 through Fig. 26, vary refrigerant until the conditions of the appropriate chart are met. Note the charging charts are different from type normally used. Charts are based on charging the units to the correct sub--cooling for the various operating conditions. Accurate pressure gauge and temperature sensing device are required. Connect the pressure gauge to the service port on the liquid line. Mount the temperature sensing device on the liquid line and insulate it so that outdoor ambient temperature does not affect the reading. Indoor--air cfm must be within the normal operating range of the unit.

Scroll compressors can only compress refrigerant if rotating in the right direction. Reverse rota tion for extended times can result in internal damage to the compressor. Scroll compressors are sealed units and cannot be repaired on site location.
NOTE: When the compressor is rotating in the wrong direction, the unit makes an elevated level of noise and does not provide cooling.
On 3--phase units with scroll compressors, it is important to be certain compressor is rotating in the proper direction. To determine whe ther or not compressor is rotating in the proper direction:
1. Connect service gauges to suction and discharge pressure fittings.
2. Energize the compressor.
3. The suction pressure should drop and the discharge pressure should rise, as is normal on any star t--up.
NOTE: If the suction pressure does not drop and the discharge pressure does not rise to normal levels:
4. Note that t he evaporator fan is probably also rotating in the wrong direction.
5. Turn off power to the unit.
6. Reverse any two of the three unit power leads.
7. Reapply electrical power to the compressor.
8. The suction pressure should drop and the discharge pressure should rise which is normal for scroll compressors on start--up.
9. Replace compressor if suction/discharge pressures are not within specifications for the specific compressor.
The suction and discharge pressure levels should now move to their normal start--up levels.

Filter Drier
Replace whenever refrigerant system is exposed to atmosphere. Only use factory specified liquid--line filter driers with working pressures no less than 650 psig. Do not install a suction--line filter drier in liquid line. A liquid--line filter drier designed for use with Puron refrigerant is required on every unit.

Non--powered type: This type requires the fiel d
installation of a general--purpose 125--volt 15--A circuit powered from a source elsewhere in the building. Observe national and local codes when selecting wire size, fuse or breaker requirements and disconnect switch size and location. Route 125--v power supply conductors into the bottom of the utility box containing the duplex receptacle.
Unit--powered type: A unit--mounted transformer is factory--installed t o step--down the main power supply voltage to the unit to 115--v at the duplex receptacle. This option also includes a manual switch with fuse, located in a utility box and mounted on a bracket behind the convenience outlet; access is through the unit’s control box access panel. See Fig. 28.
The primary leads to the convenience out let transformer are not factory--connected. Selection of primary power source is a customer-- option. If local codes permit, the transformer primary leads can be connected at the line--side terminals on a unit--mounted non--fused disconnect or Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HACR) breaker switch; this will provide service power to the unit when the unit disconnect switch or HACR switch is open. Other connection methods will result in the convenience outlet circuit being de--energized when the unit disconnect or HACR switch is open. See Fig. 30.

SMOKE DETECTORS
Smoke detectors are available as factory--instal led options on 50HC models. Smoke detectors may be specified for
Supply Air only or for Return Air without or with economizer or in combination of Supply Air and Return Air. Return Air smoke detectors are arranged for vertical return configura tions only. All c omponents necessary for operation are factory--provided and mounted. The unit is factory--configured for immediate smoke detector shutdown operation; additional wiring or modifications to unit terminal board may be necessary to complete the unit and smoke detector configuration to meet project requirements.

Duty Cycle: The unit--powered convenience outlet has a duty cycle limitation. The transformer is intended to provide power on an intermittent basis for service tools, lamps, etc; it is not intended to provide 15A loading for continuous duty loads (such as electric heaters for overnight use). Observe a 50% limit on circuit loading above 8A (i.e., limit loads exceeding 8A to 30 minutes of operation every hour).
Maintenance: Periodically test the GFCI receptacle by pressing the TEST button on the face of the receptacle. This should cause the internal circuit of the receptacle to trip and open the receptacle. Check for proper grounding wires and power line phasing if the GFCI receptacle does not trip as required. Press the RESET button to clear the tripped condition.
Fuse on powered type: The factory fuse is a Bussmann FusetronT--15, non--renewable screw--in (Edison base) type plug fuse.
Using unit--mounted convenience outlet s: Units with unit--mounted convenience outlet circuits will often require that two disconnects be opened to de--energize all power to the unit. Treat all units as electrically energized until the convenience outlet power is also checked and de--energization is confirmed. Observe National Electrical Code Article 210, Branch Circuits, for use of convenience outlets.
The smoke detector system consists of a four--wire controller and one or two sensors. Its primary function is to shut down the rooftop unit in order to prevent smoke from circulating throughout the building. It is not to be used as a life saving device.
Controller
The controller (see Fig. 31) includes a controller housing, a printed circuit board, and a clear plastic cover. The controller can be connected to one or two compatible duct smoke sensors. The clear plastic cover is secured to the housing with a single captive screw for easy access to the wiring terminals. The controller has three LEDs (for Power, Trouble and Alarm) and a manual test/reset button (on the cover face).

Smoke Detector Sensor
The Smoke Detector Sensor (see Fig. 32) includes a plastic housing, a printed circuit board, a clear plastic cover, a sampling tube inlet and an exhaust tube. The sampling tube (when used) and exhaust tube are attached during installation. The sampling tube varies in length depending on the size of the rooftop unit. The clear plastic cover permits visual inspections without having to disassemble the sensor. The cover attaches to the sensor housing using four captive screws and forms an airtight chamber around the sensing electronics. Each sensor includes a harness with an RJ45 terminal for connecting to the controller. Each sensor has four LEDs (for Power, Trouble, Alarm and Dirty) and a manual te st/reset button (on the left--side of the housing).
Air is introduced to the duct smoke detector sensor’s sensing chamber through a sampling tube that extends into the HVAC duct and is directed back into the ventilation
50HC
system through a (shorter) exhaust tube.
The difference in air pressure between the two tubes pulls the sampled air t hrough the sensing chamber. When a sufficient amount of smoke is detected in the sensing chamber, the sensor signals an alarm state and the controller automatically takes the appropriate action to shut down fans and blowe rs, change over air handling systems, notify the fire alarm control panel, etc.
The sensor uses a process called differential sensing to prevent gradual environmental changes from triggering false alarms. A rapid change in environmental conditions, such as smoke from a fire, causes the sensor to signal an alarm state but dust and debris accumulated over time does not.
The difference in air pressure between the two tubes pulls the sampled air t hrough the sensing chamber.
