IMPORTANT INFORMATION
SAFE REFRIGERANT HANDLING
While these items will not cover every conceivable situation, they should serve as a useful guide.
Refrigerants are heavier than air. They can "push out"
the oxygen in your lungs or in any enclosed space.To
avoid possible difficulty in breathing or death:
•
Never purge refrigerant into an enclosed room or
space. By law, all refrigerants must be reclaimed.
•
If an indoor leak is suspected, thoroughly ventilate
the area before beginning work.
• Liquid refrigerant can be very cold. To avoid possible
frostbite or blindness, avoid contact with refrigerant
and wea r gloves and gog gles. If liquid r efrige rant
does cont act your sk in or eyes, seek medic al help
immediately.
WARNING
To avoid possible injury, explosion or death, practice
safe handling of refrigerants.
The compre ssor POE oil for R-410A units is
extremely susceptible to moisture absorption and
could cause compressor failu r e. Do not leave system
open to atmosphere any longer than necessary
for insta llat i o n .
To avoid possible e xplosio n, use only returnabl e (n ot
disposable) service cylinders when removing refrigerant from a system.
• Ensure the cylinde r is f ree of damage which could
lead to a leak or explosio n .
• Ensure the hydrostatic test date does not exceed
5 years.
• Ensure the pressure rating meets or exceeds 400
lbs.
When in doubt, do not use cylinder.
WARNING
System contamina nts, improper se rvice procedure
and/or physical abuse affecting hermetic com pressor
electrical terminals may cause dangerous s ystem
venting.
The successful development of hermetically sealed refrigeration compressors has completely sealed the compressor's
moving parts and electric motor inside a common housing,
minimizing refrigerant leaks and the hazards sometimes
associated with moving belts, pulleys or couplings.
Fundamental to the design of hermetic compressors is a
method whereby electrical current is transmitted to the
compressor motor through terminal conductors which pass
through the compressor housing wall. These terminals are
sealed in a dielectric material which insulates them from the
housing and maintains the pressure tight integrity of the
hermetic compressor. The terminals and their dielectric
embedment are strongly constructed, but are vulnerable to
careless compressor installation or maintenance procedures and equally vulnerable to internal electrical short
circuits caused by excessive system contaminants.
In either of these instances, an electrical short between the
terminal and the compressor housing may result in the loss
of integrity between the terminal and its dielectric embedment. This loss may cause the terminals to be expelled,
thereby venting the vaporous and liquid contents of the
compressor housing and system.
A venting compressor terminal normally presents no danger
to anyone, providing the terminal protective cover is properly
in place.
If, however, the terminal protective cover is not properly in
place, a venting terminal may discharge a combination of
(a ) hot lubricating oil and refrigerant
(b ) flammable mixture (if system is contaminated
with air)
in a stream of spray which may be dangerous to anyone in the
vicinity. Death or serious bodily injury could occur.
Under no circumstances is a hermetic compressor to be
electrically energized and/or operated without having the
terminal protective cover properly in place.
See Service Section S-17 for proper servicing.

application.
Proper installation of the unit ensures trouble-free operation.
Improper installation can result in problems ranging from
noisy operation to property or equipment damages, dangerous conditions that could result in injury or personal property
damage. Give this booklet to the user and explain it’s
provisions. The user should retain these instructions for future
reference.
• For proper flame pattern within the heat exchanger and
proper condensate drainage, the unit must be mounted
level.
• The flue outlet must be at least 12 inches from any
opening through which flue gases could enter a building,
and at least three feet above any forced air inlet located
within ten feet. The economizer/manual fresh air intake/
motorized fresh air intake and combustion air inlet
mounted on the unit are not affected by this restriction.
• To avoid possible corrosion of the heat exchanger, do not
locate the unit in an area where the outdoor air (i.e.
combustion air for the unit) will be frequently contaminated by compounds containing chlorine or fluorine.
Common sources of such compounds include swimming
pool chemicals and chlorine bleaches, paint stripper,
adhesives, paints, varnishes, sealers, waxes (which are
not yet dried) and solvents used during construction and
remodeling. Various commercial and industrial processes
may also be sources of chlorine/fluorine compounds.
• To avoid possible illness or death of the building occu-
pants, do NOT locate outside air intake device (economizer, manual fresh air intake, motorized fresh air intake)
too close to an exhaust outlet, gas vent termination, or
plumbing vent outlet. For specific distances required,
consult local codes.
• Allow minimum clearances from the enclosure for fire
protection, proper operation, and service access (see
unit clearances). These clearances must be permanently maintained.
• The combustion air inlet and flue outlet on the unit must
never be obstructed. If used, do not allow the economizer/manual fresh air damper/ motorized fresh air damper
to become blocked by snow or debris. In some climates
or locations, it may be necessary to elevate the unit to
avoid these problems.
• When the unit is heating, the temperature of the return air
entering the unit must be a minimum of 55° F.
GROUND LEVEL INSTALLATIONS ONLY:
• When the unit is installed on the ground adjacent to the
building, a level concrete (or equal) base is recommended. Prepare a base that is 3” larger than the
package unit footprint and a minimum of 3” thick.
• The base should also be located where no runoff of water
from higher ground can collect in the unit.
ROOFTOP INSTALLATIONS ONLY:
• To avoid possible property damage or personal injury, the
roof must have sufficient structural strength to carry the
weight of the unit(s) and snow or water loads as required
by local codes. Consult a structural engineer to determine the weight capabilities of the roof.
• The unit may be installed directly on wood floors or on
Class A, Class B, or Class C roof covering material.
• To avoid possible personal injury, a safe, flat surface for
service personnel should be provided.
• As indicated on the unit data plate, a minimum clearance
of 36” to any combustible material is required on the
furnace access side of the unit. All combustible materials must be kept out of this area.
• This 36” clearance must also be maintained to insure
proper combustion air and flue gas flow. The combustion
air intake and furnace flue discharge must not be blocked
for any reason, including blockage by snow.
• Adequate clearances from the furnace flue discharge to
any adjacent public walkways, adjacent buildings, building openings or openable windows must be maintained in
accordance with the latest edition of the National Fuel
Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1)
• Minimum horizontal clearance of 48” from the furnace flue
discharge to any electric meters, gas meters, regulators
and relief equipment is required.
UNIT PRECAUTIONS
•Do not stand or walk on the unit.
•Do not drill holes anywhere in panels or in the base
frame of the unit except where indicated. Unit access
panels provide structural support.
•Do not remove any access panels until unit has been
installed on roof curb or field supplied structure.
•Do not roll unit across finished roof without prior
approval of owner or architect.
•Do not skid or slide on any surface as this may damage
unit base. The unit must be stored on a flat, level
surface. Protect the condenser coil because it is
easily damaged.

CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY
The installing contractor must be certain that:
•All supply and return air ductwork is in place, properly
sealed, and corresponds with installation instructions.
•All thermostats are mounted and wired in accordance
with installation instructions.
•All electric power, all gas, hot water or steam line
connections, and the condensate drain installation
have been made to each unit on the job. These main
supply lines must be functional and capable of operating all units simultaneously.
•Requirements are met for venting and combustion air.
•Air filters are in place.
•Input rate and temperature rise are adjusted per rating
plate.
•Return air temperature is maintained between 55°F
(13°C) and 80°F (27°C).
ROOF CURB INSTALLATION CHECK
Inspect the roof curb for correct installation. The unit and curb
assembly should be level. Inspect the flashing of the roof
mounting curb to the roof, especially at the corners, for good
workmanship. Also check for leaks around gaskets. Note
any deficiencies in a separate report and forward to the
contractor.
13
SYSTEM OPERATION
OBSTRUCTIONS, FAN CLEARANCEAND WIRING
Remove any extraneous construction and shipping materials
that may be found during this procedure. Rotate all fans
manually to check for proper clearances and that they rotate
freely. Check for bolts and screws that may have jarred loose
during shipment to the job site. Retighten if necessary. Retighten all electrical connections.
FIELD DUCT CONNECTIONS
Verify that all duct connections are tight and that there is no
air bypass between supply and return.
FILTER SECTION CHECK
Remove filter section access panels and check that filters are
properly installed. Note airflow arrows on filter frames.
AIR FLOW ADJUSTMENTS
When the final adjustments are complete, the current draw of
the motor should be checked and compared to the full load
current rating of the motor. The amperage must not exceed
the service factor stamped on the motor nameplate. The total
airflow must not be less than that required for operation of the
electric heaters or the furnace.
If an economizer is installed, check the unit operating
balance with the economizer at full outside air and at
minimum outside air.
NOTE: Airflow setting below 350 CFM/Ton is not
recommended, as evaporator freezing or poor unit
performance is possible.
PSC MOTOR
Adjust the CFM for the unit by changing the speed tap of the
indoor blower motor at the heat or cool tap on the control
board connection with the one of the speed taps on “M1” or
“M2” (Black-High Speed, Blue-Medium Speed, Red-Low
Speed).
EEM Motor
Adjust the CFM for the unit by changing the position of the low
voltage leads on the motor terminal block. Green is for Fan
Only. Yellow is for Cooling and Heat Pump Heating.NOTE: If
more than one lead is energized simultaneously, the motor
will run at the higher speed.
SET EVAPORATOR FAN RPM
Actual RPM’s must be set and verified with a tachometer or
strobe light. Refer to Appendices A and B for basic unit fan
RPM. Refer also to “Airflow” section of this manual. With
disconnect switch open, disconnect thermostat wires from
terminals Y and W. This will prevent heating and mechanical
cooling from coming on. Place a jumper wire across terminals
R and G at TB1 terminal block. Close disconnect switch;
evaporator fan motor will operate so RPM can be checked.
For gas heat units, the airflow must be adjusted so that the
air temperature rise falls within the ranges given stated on
Data Plate.
14
EVAPORATOR FAN ROTATION CHECK (THREE PHASE MODELS
ONLY)
Check that fan rotates clockwise when viewed from the drive
side of unit and in accordance with rotation arrow shown on
blower housing. If it does not, reverse any two incoming power
cables at Single Point Power Block. In this case, repeat
bearing check.
Do not attempt to change load side wiring. Internal wiring
assures all motors and compressors will rotate in correct
direction once evaporator fan motor rotation check has been
made.
ELECTRICAL INPUT CHECK
Make preliminary check of evaporator fan ampere draw and
verify that motor nameplate amps are not exceeded. A final
check of amp draw should be made upon completion of air
balancing of the duct system.
BELT DRIVE MODELS ONLY
The drive on the supply fan is typically set in the middle of the
RPM range. The drive motor sheave pitch diameter is field
adjustable for the required airflow.
Upon completion of the air flow balancing, we recommend
replacing the variable pitched motor sheave with a properlysized fixed sheave. A matching fixed sheave will provide
longer belt and bearing life and vibration free operation.
Initially, it is best to have a variable pitched motor sheave for
the purpose of airflow balancing, but once the balance has
been achieved, fixed sheaves maintain alignment and minimize vibration more effectively. For direct drive units, move fan
speed wire.
BEARING CHECK
Prior to energizing any fans, check and make sure that all
setscrews are tight so that bearings are properly secured to
shafts.
NORMAL SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
COOLING
Begin with power turned off at all disconnects.
1. Turn thermostat system switch to “Cool,” and fan switch
to “Auto” and turn temperature setting as high as it will go.

HEAT PUMP
9. Check the cooling mode for the heat pump in the same
manner as above. The reversing valve is energized when
the thermostat is placed in the cooling position. A
clicking sound should be noticeable from the reversing
valve. By lowering the temperature setting to call for
cooling, the contractor is energized. The compressor,
blower and fan should then be running. After the cooling
mode is checked out, turn the thermostat system switch
to “OFF”.
10.Turn the thermostat system switch to “HEAT” and fan
switch to “AUTO”.
11.Slowly raise the heating temperature setting. When the
heating first stage makes contact, stop raising the
temperature setting.. The compressor, blower and fan
should now be running with the reversing valve in the deenergized (heating) position. After giving the unit time to
settle out, make sure the unit is supplying heated air.
12.If the outdoor ambient is above 80°F, the unit may trip on
its high pressure cut out when on heating. The compressor should stop. The heating cycle must be thoroughly
checked, so postpone the test to another day when
conditions are more suitable but-DO NOT FAIL TO TEST.
If the outdoor ambient is low and the unit operates
properly on the heating cycle, you may check the
pressure cutout operation by blocking off the indoor
return air until the unit trips.
13.If unit operates properly in the heating cycle, raise the
temperature setting until the heating second stage makes
contact. Supplemental resistance heat, if installed should
now come on. Make sure it operates properly.
NOTE: If outdoor thermostats are installed the outdoor
ambient must be below the set point of these thermostats for the heaters to operate. It may be necessary to
jumper these thermostats to check heater operation if
outdoor ambient is mild.
14.For thermostats with emergency heat switch, return to
step 11. The emergency heat switch is located at the
bottom of the thermostat. Move the switch to emergency
heat. The heat pump will stop, the blower will continue to
run, all heaters will come on and the thermostat emergency heat light will come on.
15.If checking the unit in the wintertime, when the outdoor
coil is cold enough to actuate the defrost control, observe
at least one defrost cycle to make sure the unit defrosts
completely.
HEAT PUMP OPERATION
COOLING CYCLE
When the heat pump is in the cooling cycle, it operates
exactly as a Summer Air Conditioner unit. In this mode, all the
charts and data for service that apply to summer air conditioning apply to the heat pump. Most apply on the heating cycle
except that “condenser” becomes “evaporator”, “evaporator”
becomes “condenser”, “cooling” becomes “heating”.
HEATING CYCLE
The heat pump operates in the heating cycle by redirecting
refrigerant flow through the refrigerant circuit external to the
compressor. This is accomplished with through the reversing
valve. Hot discharge vapor from the compressor is directed to
the indoor coil (evaporator on the cooling cycle) where the
heat is removed, and the vapor condenses to liquid. It then
goes through the expansion device to the outdoor coil
(condenser on the cooling cycle) where the liquid is evaporated, and the vapor goes to the compressor.
When the solenoid valve coil is operated either from heating
to cooling or vice versa, the piston in the reversing valve to the
low pressure (high pressure) reverse positions in the reversing valve.
The following figures show a schematic of a heat pump on the
cooling cycle and the heating cycle. In addition to a reversing
valve, a heat pump is equipped with an expansion device and
check valve for the indoor coil, and similar equipment for the
outdoor coil. It is also provided with a defrost control system.
The expansion devices are flowrator distributors and perform
the same function on the heating cycle as on the cooling
cycle. The flowrator distributors also act as check valves to
allow for the reverse of refrigerant flow.
15
SYSTEM OPERATION
DEFROST CONTROL
During operation the power to the circuit board is controlled
by a temperature sensor, which is clamped to a feeder tube
entering the outdoor coil. Defrost timing periods of 30,60 and
90 minutes may be selected by connecting the circuit board
jumper to 30, 60 and 90 respectively. Accumulation of time
for the timing period selected starts when the sensor closes
(approximately 31° F), and when the wall thermostat calls for
heat. At the end of the timing period, the unit’s defrost cycle
will be initiated provided the sensor remains closed. When
the sensor opens (approximately 75° F), the defrost cycle is
terminated and the timing period is reset. If the defrost cycle
is not terminated due to the sensor temperature, a ten minute
override interrupts the unit’s defrost period.
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM CHECKS
Ensure the hold-down bolts on the compressor are secure
and have not vibrated loose during shipment. Check that
vibration grommets have been installed. Visually check all
piping and clamps. The entire refrigeration system has been
factory charged and tested, making it unnecessary to field
charge. Factory charges are shown on the unit nameplate.
When the heat pump is on the heating cycle, the outdoor coil
is functioning as an evaporator. The temperature of the
refrigerant in the outdoor coil must be below the temperature
of the outdoor air in order to extract heat from the air. Thus,
the greater the difference in the outdoor temperature and the
outdoor coil temperature, the greater the heating capacity of
the heat pump. This phenomenon is a characteristic of a heat
pump. It is a good practice to provide supplementary heat for
all heat pump installations in areas where the temperature
drops below 45° F. It is also a good practice to provide
sufficient supplementary heat to handle the entire heating
requirement should there be a component failure of the heat
pump, such as a compressor, or refrigerant leak, etc.
Since the temperature of the refrigerant in the outdoor coil on
the heating cycle is generally below freezing point, frost forms
on the surfaces of the outdoor coil under certain weather
conditions of temperature and relative humidity. Therefore, it
is necessary to reverse the flow of the refrigerant to provide hot
gas in the outdoor coil to melt the frost accumulation. This is
accomplished by reversing the heat pump to the cooling
cycle. At the same time, the outdoor fan stops to hasten the
temperature rise of the outdoor coil and lessen the time
required for defrosting. The indoor blower continues to run and
the supplementary heaters are energized.
FINAL SYSTEM CHECKS
1. Check to see if all supply and return air grilles are
adjusted and the air distribution system is balanced for
the best compromise between heating and cooling.
2. Check for air leaks in the ductwork. See Sections on Air
Flow Adjustments.
3. Make sure the unit is free of “rattles”, and the tubing in the
unit is free from excessive vibration. Also make sure
tubes or lines are not rubbing against each other or sheet
metal surfaces or edges. If so, correct the trouble.
4. Set the thermostat at the appropriate setting for cooling
and heating or automatic changeover for normal use.
5. Be sure the Owner is instructed on the unit operation,
filter, servicing, correct thermostat operation, etc.

With power ON:
WARNING
Line Voltage now present.
2. Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage across terminals
L1 and L2 of the contactor for single phase units, and L3,
for 3 phase units.
3. No reading - indicates open wiring, open fuse(s) no power
or etc. from unit to fused disconnect service. Repair as
needed.
4. With ample voltage at line voltage connectors, energize
the unit.
5. Measure the voltage with the unit starting and operating,
and determine the unit Locked Rotor Voltage.
Locked Rotor Voltage is the actual voltage available at
the compressor during starting, locked rotor, or a stalled
condition. Measured voltage should be above minimum
listed in chart below.
To measure Locked Rotor Voltage attach a voltmeter to
the run "R" and common "C" terminals of the compressor,
or to the T1 and T2 terminals of the contactor. Start the unit
and allow the compressor to run for several seconds, then
shut down the unit. Immediately attempt to restart the
unit while measuring the Locked Rotor Voltage.
6. Voltmeter should read within the voltage tabulation as
shown. If the voltage falls below the minimum voltage,
check the line wire size. Long runs of undersized wire can
cause low voltage. If wire size is adequate, notify the local
power company in regards to either low or high voltage.

to operate. If the percentage of voltage imbalance exceeds
3% the unit must not be operated until the voltage condition
is corrected.
Max. Voltage Deviation

To find Max. deviation:240 - 236.7 = +3.3
232 - 236.7 = -4.7
238 - 236.7 = +1.3
Max deviation was 4.7V
% Voltage Imbalance = 4.7= 1.99%
236.7
If the percentage of imbalance had exceeded 3%, it must be
determined if the imbalance is in the incoming power supply
or the equipment. To do this rotate the legs of the incoming
power and retest voltage as shown below.
L1 - L2 = 240V
L1 - L3 = 227V
L2 - L3 = 238V
L1L2

L3L2
Ro tate all 3 incomin g
legs as shown.
L1 - L2 = 227V
L1 - L3 = 238V
L2 - L3 = 240V
By the voltage readings we see that the imbalance rotated or
traveled with the switching of the incoming legs. Therefore the
imbalance lies within the incoming power supply.
If the imbalance had not changed then the problem would lie
within the equipment. Check for current leakage, shorted
motors, etc.

The cooling anticipator is a small heater (resistor) in the
thermostat. During the "off" cycle, it heats the bimetal
element helping the thermostat call for the next cooling cycle.
This prevents the room temperature from rising too high
before the system is restarted. A properly sized anticipator
should maintain room temperature within 1 1/2 to 2 degree

If it cuts-out at 660 PSIG ± 10 PSIG, it is operating normally
(See causes for high head pressure in Service Problem

S-13 CHECKING LOW PRESSURE CONTROL
The low pressure control senses the pressure in the suction
line and will open its contacts on a drop in pressure. The low
pressure control will automatically reset itself with a rise in
pressure.
The low pressure control is designed to cut-out (open) at
approximately 22 PSIG ± 7 PSIG. It will automatically cut-in
(close) at approximately 50 PSIG ± 7 PSIG.
Test for continuity using a VOM and if not as above, replace
the control.
S-15 CHECKING CAPACITOR
CAPACITOR, RUN
A run capacitor is wired across the auxiliary and main
windings of a single phase permanent split capacitor motor.
The capacitors primary function is to reduce the line current
while greatly improving the torque characteristics of a motor.
This is accomplished by using the 90° phase relationship
between the capacitor current and voltage in conjunction with
the motor windings so that the motor will give two phase
operation when connected to a single phase circuit. The
capacitor also reduces the line current to the motor by
improving the power factor.
CAPACITOR, START
SCROLL COMPRESSOR MODELS
Hard start components are not required on Scroll compressor
equipped units due to a non-replaceable check valve located
in the discharge line of the compressor. However hard start
kits are available and may improve low voltage starting
characteristics.
This check valve closes off high side pressure to the compressor after shut down allowing equalization through the scroll
flanks. Equalization requires only about one or two seconds
during which time the compressor may turn backwards.
Your unit comes with a 180-second anti-short cycle to
prevent the compressor from starting and running backwards.
MODELS EQUIPPED WITH A HARD START DEVICE
A start capacitor is wired in parallel with the run capacitor to
increase the starting torque. The start capacitor is of the
electrolytic type, rather than metallized polypropylene as
used in the run capacitor.
A switching device must be wired in series with the capacitor
to remove it from the electrical circuit after the compressor
starts to run. Not removing the start capacitor will overheat
the capacitor and burn out the compressor windings.
These capacitors have a 15,000 ohm, 2 watt resistor wired
across its terminals. The object of the resistor is to discharge
the capacitor under certain operating conditions, rather than
having it discharge across the closing of the contacts within
the switching device such as the Start Relay, and to reduce
the chance of shock to the servicer. See the Servicing
Section for specific information concerning capacitors.
RELAY, START
A potential or voltage type relay is used to take the start
capacitor out of the circuit once the motor comes up to
speed. This type of relay is position sensitive. The normally
closed contacts are wired in series with the start capacitor
and the relay holding coil is wired parallel with the start
winding. As the motor starts and comes up to speed, the
increase in voltage across the start winding will energize the
start relay holding coil and open the contacts to the start
capacitor.
Two quick ways to test a capacitor are a resistance and a
capacitance check.

features an integral control module.
Note: The GE TECMate will not currently operate the GE EEM
motor.
1. Using a voltmeter, check for 230 volts to the motor
connections L and N. If 230 volts is present, proceed to
step 2. If 230 volts is not present, check the line voltage
circuit to the motor.
2. Using a voltmeter, check for 24 volts from terminal C to
either terminal 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, depending on which tap is
being used, at the motor. If voltage present, proceed to
step 3. If no voltage, check 24 volt circuit to motor.
3. If voltage was present in steps 1 and 2, the motor has
failed and will need to be replaced.

The auto reset fan motor overload is designed to protect the
motor against high temperature and high amperage conditions by breaking the common circuit within the motor, similar
to the compressor internal overload. However, heat generated within the motor is faster to dissipate than the compressor, allow at least 45 minutes for the overload to reset, then
retest.

S-17A RESISTANCE TEST
Each compressor is equipped with an internal overload.
The line break internal overload senses both motor amperage
and winding temperature. High motor temperature or amperage heats the disc causing it to open, breaking the common
circuit within the compressor on single phase units.
Heat generated within the compressor shell, usually due to
recycling of the motor, high amperage or insufficient gas to
cool the motor, is slow to dissipate. Allow at least three to four
hours for it to cool and reset, then retest.

S-17 CHECKING COMPRESSOR WINDINGS
WARNING
Hermetic compressor electrical terminal venting can
be dangerous. When insulating material which
supports a hermetic compressor or electrical terminal
suddenly disintegrates due to physical abuse or as a
result of an electrical short between the terminal and
the compressor housing, the terminal may be
expelle d, ve nting th e vap or a nd liq uid co nten ts of the
compressor housing and system.
If the compressor terminal PROTECTIVE COVER and
gasket (if required) are not properly in place and secured, there is a remote possibility if a terminal vents, that
the vaporous and liquid discharge can be ignited, spouting flames several feet, causing potentially severe or fatal
injury to anyone in its path.
This discharge can be ignited external to the compressor
if the terminal cover is not properly in place and if the
discharge impinges on a sufficient heat source.
Ignition of the discharge can also occur at the venting
terminal or inside the compressor, if there is sufficient
contaminant air present in the system and an electrical
arc occurs as the terminal vents.
Ignition cannot occur at the venting terminal without the
presence of contaminant air, and cannot occur externally
from the venting terminal without the presence of an
external ignition source.
Therefore, proper evacuation of a hermetic system is
essential at the time of manufacture and during servicing.
To reduce the possibility of external ignition, all open
flame, electrical power, and other heat sources should be
extinguished or turned off prior to servicing a system.

NOTE: The wire size of the test cord must equal the line wire
size and the fuse must be of the proper size and type.
2. With the protective terminal cover in place, use the three
leads to the compressor terminals that were disconnected at the nearest point to the compressor and
connect the common, start and run clips to the respective
leads.
3. Connect good capacitors of the right MFD and voltage
rating into the circuit as shown.
4. With power ON, close the switch.

S-18 TESTING CRANKCASE HEATER (OP-
TIONAL ITEM)
Note: Not all compressors use crankcase heaters.
The crankcase heater must be energized a minimum of
twenty-four (24) hours before the compressor is operated.
Crankcase heaters are used to prevent migration or accumulation of refrigerant in the compressor crankcase during
the off cycles and prevents liquid slugging or oil pumping on
start up. On some models, the crankcase heater is controlled
by a crankcase heater thermostat that is wired in series with
the crankcase heater.
A crankcase heater will not prevent compressor damage
due to a floodback or over charge condition.
WARNING
Disconnect ALL power before servicing.
1. Disconnect the heater lead in wires.
2. Using an ohmmeter, check heater continuity - should test
continuous. If not, replace.

S-18A CHECKING CRANKCASE HEATER THER-
MOSTAT
Note: Not all models with crankcase heaters will have a
crankcase heater thermostat.
1. Install a thermocouple type temperature test lead on the
discharge line adjacent to the crankcase heater thermostat.
2. Check the temperature at which the control closes its
contacts by lowering the temperature of the control. The
crankcase heater thermostat should close at 67°F ± 5°F.
3. Check the temperature at which the control opens its
contacts by raising the temperature of the control. The
crankcase heater thermostat should open at 85°F ± 5°F.
4. If not as above, replace control.
S-21 CHECKING REVERSING VALVE AND SOLE-
NOID
Occasionally the reversing valve may stick in the heating or
cooling position or in the mid-position.
When stuck in the mid-position, part of the discharge gas
from the compressor is directed back to the suction side,
resulting in excessively high suction pressure. An increase
in the suction line temperature through the reversing valve
can also be measured. Check operation of the valve by
starting the system and switching the operation from COOLING to HEATING cycle.
If the valve fails to change its position, test the voltage (24V)
at the valve coil terminals, while the system is on the COOLING
cycle.
If no voltage is registered at the coil terminals, check the
operation of the thermostat and the continuity of the connecting wiring from the "O" terminal of the thermostat to the unit.
If voltage is registered at the coil, tap the valve body lightly
while switching the system from HEATING to COOLING, etc.
If this fails to cause the valve to switch positions, remove the
coil connector cap and test the continuity of the reversing
valve solenoid coil. If the coil does not test continuous replace it.
If the coil test continuous and 24 volts is present at the coil
terminals, the valve is inoperative - replace it.
5. Using VOM check for voltage across terminals "C & O".
Meter should read 24 volts.
6. Using VOM check for voltage across fan terminals DF1
and DF2 on the board. You should read line voltage (208230 VAC) indicating the relay is open in the defrost mode.
7. Using VOM check for voltage across "W2 & C" terminals
on the board. You should read 24 volts.
8. If not as above, replace control board.
9. Set thermostat to off position and disconnect power
before removing any jumpers or wires.
NOTE: Remove jumper across defrost thermostat before
returning system to service.
S-25 TESTING DEFROST THERMOSTAT
1. Install a thermocouple type temperature test lead on the
tube adjacent to the defrost control. Insulate the lead
point of contact.
2. Check the temperature at which the control closes its
contacts by lowering the temperature of the control. On
2 and 2.5 ton units, it should close at 34°F ± 5°F. On 3 thru
5 ton units, it should close at 31°F ± 3°F.
3. Check the temperature at which the control opens its
contacts by raising the temperature of the control. On 2
and 2.5 ton units, it should open at 60°F ± 5°F. On 3 thru
5 ton units, it should open at 75°F ± 6°F.
4. If not as above, replace control.
TROUBLESHOOTING
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS FOR USE BY QUALIFIED SERVICE AGENCY ONLY: OTHERS SHOULD NOT
ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THIS EQUIPMENT.
Common Causes of Unsatisfactory Operation of Heat Pump
on the Heating Cycle.
INADEQUATE AIR VOLUME THROUGH INDOOR COIL
When a heat pump is in the heating cycle, the indoor coil is
functioning as a condenser. The return air filter must always
be clean, and sufficient air volume must pass through the
indoor coil to prevent excessive discharge pressure, and high
pressure cut out.
S-24 TESTING DEFROST CONTROL
To check the defrost control for proper sequencing, proceed
as follows: With power ON; unit not running.
1. Jumper defrost thermostat by placing a jumper wire
across the terminals "DFT" and "R" at defrost control
board.
2. Connect jumper across test pins on defrost control board.
3. Set thermostat to call for heating. System should go into
defrost within 21 seconds.
4. Immediately remove jumper from test pins.
OUTSIDE AIRINTO RETURN DUCT
Do not introduce cold outside air into the return duct of a heat
pump installation. For units with 2-speed motors, do not
allow air entering the indoor coil to drop below 65° F. Air below
this temperature will cause low discharge pressure, thus low
suction pressure, and excessive defrost cycling resulting in
low heating output. It may also cause false defrosting.
29
SERVICING
U
NDERCHARGE
An undercharged heat pump on the heating cycle will cause
low discharge pressure resulting in low suction pressure and
frost accumulation on the outdoor coil.
POOR “TERMINATING” SENSORCONTACT
The unit’s defrost terminating sensor must make good
thermal contact with the outdoor coil tubing. Poor contact
may not terminate the unit’s defrost cycle quickly enough to
prevent the unit from cutting out on high discharge pressure.
MALFUNCTIONING REVERSING VALVE - THISMAYBEDUE
:
TO
1. Solenoid not energized - In order to determine if the
solenoid is energized, touch the nut that holds the
solenoid cover in place with a screwdriver. If the nut
magnetically holds the screwdriver, the solenoid is
energized and the unit is in the cooling cycle.
2. No voltage at unit’s solenoid - Check unit voltage. If
no voltage, check wiring circuit.
3. Valve will not shift:
a. Undercharged - check for leaks;
b. Valve Body Damaged - Replace valve;
c. Unit Properly Charged - If it is on the heating cycle,
raise the discharge pressure by restricting airflow
through the indoor coil. If the valve does not shift, tap
it lightly on both ends with a screwdriver handle. DONOT TAP THE VALVE BODY. If the unit is on the
cooling cycle, raise the discharge pressure by restricting airflow through the outdoor coil. If the valve
does not shift after the above attempts, cut the unit off
and wait until the discharge and suction pressure
equalize, and repeat above steps. If the valve does not
shift, replace it.
S-100 REFRIGERATION REPAIR PRACTICE
DANGER
Always remove the refrigerant charge in a proper
manner before applying heat to the system.
When repairing the refrigeration system:
WARNING
Disconnect ALL power before servicing.
1. Never open a system that is under vacuum. Air and
moisture will be drawn in.
2. Plug or cap all openings.
3. Remove all burrs and clean the brazing surfaces of the
tubing with sand cloth or paper. Brazing materials do not
flow well on oxidized or oily surfaces.
4. Clean the inside of all new tubing to remove oils and pipe
chips.
5. When brazing, sweep the tubing with dry nitrogen to
prevent the formation of oxides on the inside surfaces.
6. Complete any repair by replacing the liquid line drier in the
system, evacuate and charge.
BRAZING MATERIALS
Copper to Copper Joints - Sil-Fos used without flux (alloy
of 15% silver, 80% copper, and 5% phosphorous). Recommended heat 1400°F.
Copper to Steel Joints - Silver Solder used without a flux
(alloy of 30% silver, 38% copper, 32% zinc). Recommended
heat - 1200°F.
S-50 CHECKING HEATER LIMIT CONTROL(S)
(OPTIONAL ELECTRIC HEATERS)
Each individual heater element is protected with an automatic
rest limit control connected in series with each element to
prevent overheating of components in case of low airflow.
This limit control will open its circuit at approximately 150°F.
