claims for freight damage should be led by the consignee.
Before unloading the unit, check the unit nameplate to make
sure the voltage complies with the power supply available.
CAUTION
Location. Care should be taken for the installation
location to minimize snow drifts on the outdoor coil.
Allow service clearances as approximately indicated in Figure
1. Also, Daikin recommends providing a roof walkway to the
rooftop unit as well as along each side of the unit that provides
access to most controls and serviceable components.
Refer to NEC and local for minimum clearances around the
unit and control panel.
Ventilation Clearance
Below are minimum ventilation clearance recommendations.
The system designer must consider each application and
provide adequate ventilation. If this is not done, the unit may
not perform properly.

Roof Curb Assembly and Installation
WARNING
Mold can cause personal injury. Some materials such
as gypsum wall board can promote mold growth when
damp. Such materials must be protected from moisture
that can enter units during maintenance or normal
operation.
Locate the roof curb and unit on a portion of the roof that can
support the weight of the unit. The unit must be supported to
prevent bending or twisting of the machine.
If building construction allows sound and vibration into
the occupied space, locate the unit over a non-critical
area. It is the responsibility of the system designer to
make adequate provisions for noise and vibration in the
occupied space.
Install the curb and unit level to allow the condensate drain to
ow properly and allow service access doors to open and close
without binding.
The gasketed top surface of the curb seals against the unit
when it is set on the curb. These anges must not support
the total weight of the duct work. See Installing Ductwork on
page 13 for details on duct connections. It is critical that
the condensate drain side of the unit be no higher than the
opposite side.
Assembly Instructions
Assembly of a typical roof curb is shown in Figure 2,Figure 3
on page 8 and Figure 4 on page 9.
1. Set curbing parts A thru G per dimensions shown over roof
opening or on a level surface. Note location of supply air
opening. Check alignment of all mating screw holes.
2. Screw curbing parts together using fasteners provided.
Leave all screws loose until curb is checked to be square.
3. Square entire curbing assembly and securely tighten all
screws.
4. Position curb assembly over roof openings. Curb must
be level within 0.25 inches from side to side and 1.50
inches over its length. Check that top surface of curb is
at with no bowing or sagging.
5. Weld curb assembly in place. Caulk all seams watertight.
Remove backing from 0.25 × 1.50 wide gasket and apply
to surfaces shown by crosshatching.
6. Check that electrical connections are coordinated.

MeChanICal InsTallaTIon
Unit Piping - Condensate Drain Connection
WARNING
Drain pans must be cleaned periodically. Material in
uncleaned drain pans can cause disease. Cleaning
should be performed by qualified personnel.
The unit is provided with a condensate drain connection, a 3/4"
male NPT for 003–015 units and a 1" male NPT for 016–028
units. For proper drainage, level the unit and drain pan side to
side and install a P-trap.
Figure 7 shows the layout of the condensate drain connection.
The distance from the drain pan outlet to the horizontal run of
the P-trap should be a distance of twice the static pressure in
the drain pan.
Example: If the static pressure as measured in the drain pan
is 1.5", then the distance between the drain outlet and the
horizontal run should be 3".
Draining condensate directly onto the roof may be acceptable;
refer to local codes. Provide a small drip pad of stone, mortar,
wood, or metal to protect the roof against possible damage.
If condensate is piped into the building drainage system, pitch
the drain line away from the unit a minimum of 1/8" per foot.
The drain line must penetrate the roof external to the unit.
Refer to local codes for additional requirements. Sealed drain
lines require venting to provide proper condensate ow.
Periodically clean to prevent microbial growth/algae buildup
from plugging the drain and causing the drain pan to overow.
Clean drain pans to prevent the spread of disease. Cleaning
should be performed by qualied personnel.
Damper Assemblies
The optional damper assemblies described in this section
are ordered with factory-installed actuators and linkages.
The following sections describe the operation and linkage
adjustment of the factory option.
Figure 8: Damper Assembly
Linkage
Figure 7: Condensate Drain Connection

Economizer Dampers
As the single actuator modulates, the outside air dampers
open, the return air dampers close, and the exhaust air exits
the unit through the gravity relief dampers.
The economizer comes with manually adjustable linkage (Figure
8). The damper is set so that the crank-arm moves through
a 90-degree angle to bring the economizer dampers from full
open to full close. Mechanical stops are placed in the crank-arm
mounting bracket. Do not remove stops. Driving the crank-arm
past the stops results in damage to the linkage or damper.
Outdoor Air Dampers (0% to 30%)
These dampers are intended to remain at a xed position during
unit operation, providing fresh air quantities from 0 to 30% of the
total system airow, depending on the damper setting.
The damper position may be set at the unit controller keypad
(refer to OM 1141 for further detail). During unit operation, the
damper is driven to the position set at the unit controller. During
the OFF cycle, the damper is automatically closed.

Cabinet Weather Protection
CAUTION
Transportation, rigging, or maintenance can damage
the unit’s weather seal. Periodically inspect the unit
for leakage. Standing moisture can promote microbial
growth, disease, or damage to the equipment and
building.
This unit ships from the factory with fully gasketed access
doors and cabinet caulking to provide weather resistant
operation. After the unit is set in place, inspect all door gaskets
for shipping damage and replace if necessary.
Protect the unit from overhead runoff from overhangs or other
such structures.
Installing Ductwork
WARNING
Mold can cause personal injury. Materials such as
gypsum wall board can promote mold growth when
damp. Such materials must be protected from moisture
that can enter units during maintenance or normal
operation.
On vertical-supply/vertical-return units, if a Daikin roof curb
is not used, the installing contractor should make an airtight
connection by attaching eld fabricated duct collars to the
bottom surface of the unit’s duct opening. Do not support the
total weight of the duct work from the unit.
Use exible connections between the unit and ductwork to
avoid transmission of vibration from the unit to the structure.
To minimize losses and sound transmission, design duct work
per ASHRAE and SMACNA recommendations.
Where return air ducts are not required, connect a sound
absorbing T or L section to the unit return to reduce noise
transmission to the occupied space.
Ductwork exposed to outdoor conditions must be built in
accordance with ASHRAE and SMACNA recommendations
and local building codes.

Installing Duct Static Pressure Sensor Taps
For all VAV units, duct static pressure taps must be eld
installed and connected to the static pressure sensor 1 (SPS1)
in the unit. Sensor SPS1 is standard on VAV units and is
located in the main control panel.
Carefully locate and install the duct static pressure sensing
tap. Improperly locating or installing the sensing tap causes
unsatisfactory operation of the entire variable air volume
system. Below are pressure tap location and installation
recommendations. The installation must comply with local code
requirements.
1. Install a tee tting with a leak-tight removable cap in each
tube near the sensor tting. This facilitates connecting a
manometer or pressure gauge if testing is required.
2. Use different colored tubing for the duct pressure (HI)
and reference pressure (LO) taps, or tag the tubes.
Daikin recommends 3/16" ID tubing.
3. Locate the duct pressure (HI) tap near the end of a long
duct to ensure that all terminal box take-offs along the
run have adequate static pressure.
4. Locate the duct tap in a nonturbulent ow area of the
duct. Keep it several duct diameters away from take-off
points, bends, neckdowns, attenuators, vanes, or other
irregularities.
5. Use a static pressure tip (Dwyer A302 or equivalent) or
the bare end of the plastic tubing for the duct tap. (If the
duct is lined inside, use a static pressure tip device.)
6. Install the duct tap so that it senses only static pressure
(not velocity pressure). If a bare tube end is used,
it must be smooth, square (not cut at an angle) and
perpendicular to the airstream (see Figure 10).
7. Locate the reference pressure (LO) tap near the duct
pressure tap within the building. If the tap is not connected
to the sensor, unsatisfactory operation will result.
8. Route the tubes through the curb and feed them into the
unit through the knockout in the bottom of the control
panel (see Figure 9). Connect the tubes to appropriate
barbed ttings (on SPS1) in the control panel. (Fittings
are sized to accept 3/16" ID tubing.)
Fragile sensor fittings. If you must remove tubing
from a pressure sensor fitting, use care. Do not use
excessive force or wrench the tubing back and forth to
remove or the fitting can break off and damage sensor.
If a unit has building static pressure control capability, you
must eld install and connect static pressure taps to the static
pressure sensor SPS2 in the unit. This sensor is located at the
bottom of the main control panel next to SPS1.
Carefully locate and install the two static pressure sensing
taps. Improper location or installation of the sensor taps causes
unsatisfactory operation. Below are pressure tap location and
installation recommendations for both building envelope and
lab, or “space within a space” pressure control applications.
The installation must comply with local code requirements.
3. Locate the building tap so it is not inuenced by any
source of moving air (velocity pressure). These sources
may include air diffusers or outside doors.
4. Route the building tap tube through the curb and feed
it into the unit through the knockout in the bottom of the
control panel (refer to Figure 9). Connect the 3/16" ID
tube to the (high) tting for sensor SPS2.
5. Locate the reference pressure (low) tap on the roof.
Keep it away from the condenser fans, walls, or anything
else that may cause air turbulence. Mount it high
enough above the roof so it is not affected by snow. Not
connecting the reference tap to the sensor results in
unsatisfactory operation.
6. Use an outdoor static pressure tip (Dwyer A306 or
equivalent) to minimize the adverse effects of wind.
Place some type of screen over the sensor to keep out
insects. Loosely packed cotton works well.
7. Route the outdoor tap tube out of the main control panel
through a small eld-cut opening in the upright. Seal the
penetration to prevent water from entering. Connect the
3/16" ID tube to the (low) tting for sensor SPS2.
Discharge Air Temperature Sensor
The discharge air temperature sensor must be installed in the
discharge air duct, downstream of the rooftop unit. Locate the
sensor in a location that closely approximates the average
duct temperature. To avoid the effects of radiation, the sensor
should not be in the line-of-sight of a gas furnace or electric
heater. Generally, locate sensor in the center of a duct wall,
5′ – 10′ from unit opening to allow for air mixing. Do not mount
down stream of VAV boxes or other dampers.
Installation: Drill 7/8" diameter hole in duct, insert sensor probe
and secure plate to duct with 2 – #10 screws. Be sure to apply
gasket or silicone sealant to back of mounting plate prior to
screwing plate to the duct to create an air-tight seal.
Figure 11: Discharge Air Temperature Sensor Installation
Building Pressurization Applications
1. Install a tee tting with a leak-tight removable cap in each
tube near the sensor tting. This facilitates connecting a
manometer or pressure gauge if testing is required.
2. Locate the building pressure (high) tap in the area that
requires the closest control. Typically, this is a ground
level oor that has doors to the outside.

Pre-Construction
The Rebel unit comes equipped with a Microtech III controller
and can be used for sites that are still under construction. The
following conditions must be met.
1. Ductwork has to be installed. The fan proving switch
and furnace might not run correctly without the specied
external static pressure
2. Filters must be installed.
3. Follow furnace commissioning instructions found in the
furnace section.
4. After substantial completion of the construction process
the unit is to be thoroughly cleaned. Special attention
should be paid to the indoor DX coil and the furnace.
Filters should be changed
5. Furnace operation, rate, and temperature rise should be
re-veried. See instructions found in the furnace section.
Lab Pressurization Applications
1. Install a “T” tting with a leak-tight removable cap in each
tube near the sensor tting. This facilitates connecting a
manometer or pressure gauge if testing is required.
2. Use different colored tubing for the controlled space
pressure (high) and reference pressure (low) taps, or tag
the tubes.
3. Regardless whether the controlled space is positive or
negative with respect to its reference, locate the high
pressure tap in the controlled space (the setpoint can be
set between -0.2" and 0.2" wc).
4. Locate the reference pressure (low) tap in the area
surrounding the controlled space. Not locating the
reference tap to the sensor results in unsatisfactory
operation.
5. Locate both taps so they are not inuenced by any source
of moving air (velocity pressure). These sources may
include air diffusers or doors between the high and low
pressure areas.
6. Route the building tap tube between the curb and the
supply duct and feed it into the unit through the knockout
in the bottom of the control panel.
7. Connect the tube to the (high) tting for sensor SPS2.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Disconnect Power to the Rebel Rooftop Unit prior to
inspecting and/or repairing.
When inspecting/repairing Rebel Rooftop units the technician or
building owner must take precautions to ground themselves to
the unit. This will prevent them from damaging the circuit boards
mounted inside the inverter box and main control panel.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage components in a
manner that is not always readably detectable. A static potential
can easily be generated on a person that reaches 25 kVolts. If
this potential is discharged into one of the unit’s circuit boards it
can degrade part of the current carrying conductors inside. This
is the conceptual equivalent of reducing 16 gage wires to 18.
The component will still operate initially, but will have a much
shorter life span due to overheating of the conductor.
In order to prevent ESD from the technician to the unit they
must both be at the same potential. First the technician must
ground themselves to the unit; this can be achieved by touching
any galvanized (not painted) section of the unit. The unit’s base
rail and refrigerant piping are both reliable options. The next
step is to attach a grounded wrist or ankle strap to the copper
tubing. This grounding strap must have direct contact with the
technician’s skin. Once this has been done the technician is free
to work on electrical components in side the unit.
Although ESD is partially dependent on humidity, at levels
above 50% it is a greatly reduced risk, good practices should

WARNING
Provide proper line voltage and phase balance.
Improper line voltage or excessive phase imbalance
constitutes product abuse. It can cause severe damage
to the unit’s electrical components.
WARNING
Electrical shock hazard. Can cause severe injury or
death.
Connect only low voltage NEC Class II circuits to
terminal block TB2.
DANGER
Overheating or failure of the gas supply to shut off can
cause equipment damage, severe personal injury or
death. Turn off the manual gas valve to the appliance before
shutting off the electrical supply.
The preferred entrance for power cables is through the bottom
knockouts provided on the unit. If a side entrance is the only
option, a hole may be drilled in the stationary upright.
The minimum circuit ampacity (MCA) is shown on the unit
nameplate. Refer to Table 5 for the recommended number of
power wires.
Copper wire is required for all conductors. Size wires in
accordance with the ampacity tables in Article 310 of the
National Electrical Code. If long wires are required, it may be
necessary to increase the wire size to prevent excessive voltage
drop. Wires should be sized for a maximum of 3% voltage drop.
Supply voltage must not vary by more than 10% of nameplate.
Phase voltage imbalance must not exceed 2%. (Calculate the
average voltage of the three legs. The leg with voltage deviating
the farthest from the average value must not be more than
2% away.) Contact the local power company for correction of
improper voltage or phase imbalance.
The power source to the unit must be a balanced 3-phase power
supply, meaning that the voltage and impedance to the line is
matched. Under normal conditions, a balanced power supply
will result in balanced current phase-to-phase. Unbalanced
voltage and/or current (such as provided with an "Open Delta"
conguration), is likely to result in nuisance alarms, premature
failure of components and it will void equipment warranty.
A ground lug is provided in the control panel. Size the grounding
conductor in accordance with Table 250-95 of the National
Electrical Code.
In compliance with the National Electrical Code, a 115 V factory
mounted service receptacle outlet is provided. This outlet must
be powered by a eld connected 15 A, 115 V power supply.
Leads are brought into the unit through the bottom of the main
control panel.
Field Control Wiring
The Rebel rooftop units are available with the following eld
control connections:
• Space sensor.
• Space sensor with setpoint adjustment.
• Fan operation output.
• VAV box output.
• Remote alarm output.
• External discharge air temperature reset.
• Outdoor air damper minimum position adjustment.
Descriptions of these eld connections are included in the
MicroTech III Unit Controller Manual (OM 1141).
Start-up and service of this equipment must be performed
by trained and experienced technicians. It is highly
recommended that the initial start-up and future service be
performed by Daikin trained technicians who are familiar with
working on live equipment. A representative of the owner or the
operator of the equipment should be present during start-up to
receive instructions in the operation, care and adjustment of
the unit.
Before Start-Up
1. Notify inspectors or representatives who may be required to
be present during start-up of gas fuel equipment. These could
include the gas utility company, city gas inspectors, heating
inspectors, etc.
2. Review the equipment and service literature and become
familiar with the location and purpose of the furnace controls.
Determine where the gas and power can be turned off at the
unit and before the unit.
3. Determine that power is connected to the unit and available.
4. Determine that the gas piping, meter, and service regulator
have been installed, tested, and meet the equipment
requirements.
5. Determine that proper instruments will be available for the
start-up. A proper start-up requires the following: voltmeter,
manometer or gauges with ranges for both manifold pressure
and inlet gas pressure.

The Rebel piping system varies signicantly between the
multiple possible congurations; heat pump, cooling only, and
modulating hot gas reheat. In spite of this multiplicity there
are some consistent characteristics. All units have a single
circuit with a single or tandem compressor. All units use
an electronic expansion valve (EVI) and a start-up by pass

Variable Speed Compressor
A variable speed compressor (COMP1) is used on all DPS(H)
003–015. On small cabinet units (3–6 Tons) the variable speed
compressor will be the only one present. On medium cabinet
units (7–15 Tons) the variable speed compressor will be on the
left. The discharge of the variable speed compressor is located
on the side and the suction is located on the top.
These pipes can also be identied by recalling that suction
lines will always be larger than discharge lines. The side
discharge design is used to create a positively pressurized
crank case that returns oil to the scroll set even during low turn
down conditions.
Figure 14: Compressor Suction and Discharge on Medium
Cabinet (7.5T) Heat Pump (DPH)
Compressor Suction Line
Compressor Discharge Line
Receiver
Only Rebel Heat Pump units will have a receiver. Different
volumes of refrigerant are required inside the system during
Mechanical Cooling (or defrost) and Mechanical Heating.
This is the results of the charge in operating temperatures in
Cooling and Heating Mode. The receiver stores the excess
refrigerant upstream, in Cooling Mode, of the Indoor Expansion
Valve (EVI). Three refrigerant lines connect to the receiver.
In cooling mode the refrigerant leaves (Cooling Mode) the
receiver from the bottom connection on its way to the Indoor
Expansion Valve (EVI). The refrigerant enters the receiver
by the middle connection from the Outdoor Expansion Valve
(EVO). The top connection is linked to the Receiver Solenoid
Valve (SVR) and is used to bleed refrigerant vapor out of the
top of the vessel during the change over from Mechanical
Heating to Cooling Mode (or defrost).
In heating mode the refrigerant ow path will be reversed and
will enter the receiver at the bottom connection on its way from
EVI. The refrigerant will leave the receiver from the middle
connection towards EVO. The top connection will always
be a vapor bleed connected to SVR regardless of the units
operating mode.

Fixed Speed Compressor (7–15 Only)
The xed speed compressor (COMP3) is used on all medium

Oil Separator
All DPS(H) 003–015 units will have an oil separator on the
discharge line of the compressor. This device will remove
oil from the compressor discharge gas and return it to the
compressor suction line. The oil separator has three lines
entering it. The connection on the side of the compressor
is where the discharge gas enters. The hot gas continues
on to the Outdoor Coil from the connection on the top of the
separator. On the bottom is a small drain through which the
oil returns after separation to the compressor suction. The
refrigerant and oil path through the separator will not change
depending on Heating or Cooling Mode.

Check Valve
All DPS 003–015 will have check valves on each of the
compressor discharge lines. On medium cabinet units
(7–15 Tons), two valves, one on each compressor, prevent
recirculation of refrigerant during part load conditions. On
small cabinet units (3–6 Tons) a single check valve prevents
migration of refrigerant into the scrolls during off cycles.

High Pressure Switch
All Rebel Units will have a high pressure switch on each
compressor. Medium cabinet units (7–15 Tons) will have an
HP1 switch on the variable speed compressor (COMP1) and a
HP3 on the xed speed compressor (COMP3). These switches
are normally closed devices that are brazed directly to the
refrigerant piping. When the pressure at the switch exceeds
580 PSIG the switch will open. This opening will interrupt the
control signal to the variable compressor drive or de-energize
the contactor coil on the xed speed compressor, both acts
will shut down the compressors and generate an alarm at the
MicroTech III keypad.

Four-Way Valve
The Four-Way Valve (4WV) also known as a Reversing Valve
is a component only used on Heat Pumps. This device is
used to direct the discharge gas from the compressor into the
outdoor coil (Heating Mode) or indoor coil (Cooing Mode). This
device is defaulted to cooling and when un-energized will direct
the discharge gas into the outdoor coil.

Suction Pressure Transducer
The Suction Pressure Transducer (PTS) is a refrigerant
pressure sensor that screws onto a Schrader tting on the
suction line of the compressor deck. On single compressor
units (3–6T) this sensor is located on the suction line. On
tandem, two compressor units (7–15T), the PTS is located
upstream of the joint suction.
This sensor is used to ensure that the compressor does not
leave the operating envelope and is used to regulate the super
heat leaving the indoor coil and entering the compressor.
Discharge Pressure Transducer
The Discharge Pressure Transducer (PTD) is a refrigerant
pressure sensor that screws onto a Schrader tting on
the discharge line of the compressor system. On single
compressor units (3–6T) this sensor is located on the
discharge line. On tandem, two compressor units (7–15T), the
PTD is located down stream of the joint discharge.
This sensor is used to ensure that the compressor does not
leave the operating envelope and is used to regulate the
outdoor fan speed and maintain head pressure.
Discharge Refrigerant Temperature
All Rebel units will have a Discharge Refrigerant Temperature
Sensor (DRT1 / DRT3) on the discharge line of each
compressor. This sensor is attached the piping with a metal
clip and wrapped in insulation. The purpose of this device is to
increase compressor life by preventing it from running outside
of the operating envelope.
Outdoor Refrigerant Temperature
Only Rebel Heat Pumps units will have an Outdoor Refrigerant
Temperature Sensor (ORT). This sensor is used in Cooling
Mode when ClgEVOmethod is set to control subcooling. This
sensor is attached to the refrigerant piping upstream (Cooling
Mode) of the Outdoor Expansion Valve (EVO).

Defrost Temperature Sensor
Only Rebel Heat Pump, DPH, units will have a Defrost
Temperature Sensor (DFT). This sensor is used in Heating

accumulated on the Outdoor Coil.
Suction Refrigerant Temperature
All Rebel units will have a Suction Refrigerant Temperature
Sensor (SRT). This sensor is located on the suction line. Unlike
DRT1 or 3 there is only one SRT for tandem compressor
units. This sensor is used to determine the suction super heat
entering the compressor and is the control input for the EVI in
cooling mode (EVO in heating mode).
Indoor Refrigerant Temperature
Only Rebel Heat Pump units will have an Indoor Refrigerant
Temperature Sensor (IRT). This sensor is used in Heating
Mode when htgEVImethod is set to control subcooling. This
sensor is attached to the refrigerant piping downstream
(Cooling Mode) of the Indoor Expansion Valve (EVI).

refrIgeraTIon sysTeM
Heating
The unit’s heating mode of operation is determined by the
control temperature and the heating setpoint temperature. The
unit enters the heating mode of operation by comparing the
control temperature to the heating setpoint.
The control temperature can be either the return temperature
or the space temperature.
The return temperature is typically used for VAV units and the
space temperature is typically used for CAV units.
The unit goes into the heating mode of operation when the
control temperature (return or space temperature) is below the
heating setpoint by more than ½ the deadband.
For example, a standard air conditioning unit with supplemental
gas, electric, or hot water heat with a heating setpoint of 68.0ºF
and a deadband of 1.0ºF would enter heating mode if the
control temperature reached 67.4ºF. When this takes place,
the heating mode of operation will begin and the 1st Stage of
heating operation will start.
Heat Pump
(DPS 003 –015 ton)
The heating mode of operations will be slightly different for heat
pump units. It is the manufacturer’s recommendation that all
Rebel heat pump units be purchased with supplemental gas,
electric, or hot water heat. When the control temperature drops
below the heating setpoint by half the deadband the unit will
energize the four way valve and initiate mechanical heating.
On heat pumps mechanical heating is the primary source of
heat and will always be the unit’s rst attempt to meet the
application’s load. After start-up the variable compressor
will ramp up to meet the DAT Setpoint. If the mechanical
heating capacity at the ambient conditions is capable of
meeting the building load the variable speed compressor will
stabilize at some value below its maximum speed. If the heat
pump’s capacity is insufcient at the ambient conditions the
supplemental (gas, electric, hot water) heat will be enabled and
gradually ramp/stage on to make up the capacity shortage.
If the combined capacity of the heat pump’s mechanical and
supplemental heating is greater than the building load the
supplemental supply will ramp/stage down. The unit will always
seek to operate with mechanical heating as much as possible.
Periodically during heating operations the unit will need to
enter defrost to remove frost build up from the outdoor coil.
During defrost mechanical heating will be unavailable and the
supplemental heat will ramp/stage up to meet the DAT set-point.
Defrost
(DPS 003 –015 ton)
Defrost is a temporary and infrequent period during normal
heating operations on Rebel heat pumps. The purpose of
defrost is to remove frost that has built up on the outdoor coil
during mechanical heating. In heating mode the outdoor coil
acts as an evaporator to “pull” heat out of the ambient air. As a
result the surface temperature of the outdoor coil is below the
ambient temperature and depending on conditions maybe below
freezing. During prolonged mechanical heating while the surface
temperature of the outdoor coil is below 32ºF frost will form.
The defrost operation is similar to mechanical cooling. In defrost
the four way valve will de-energize and the hot gas from the
compressor will be forced into the outdoor coil, rejecting heating
to the ambient, and melting any frost formed on the coil. To
speed up the melting process during a defrost cycle the OA
damper will close and the outdoor fan will de-energize. During
this period the supplemental (gas, electric, hot water) heat will
ramp/stage up to maintain the unit’s DAT Setpoint.
Rebel heat pump unit’s have demand based defrost control
and will operate in defrost only as long as necessary to remove
frost from the outdoor coil.
Charging
Rebel units have advanced charge management systems
that obsolete many common techniques for determining
over or under charged conditions. The charge management
system means that super heat and subcooling values will
oat to achieve the peak real time energy efciency possible
at current operating conditions (building load and ambient
temperature). Rebel units also use electronic expansion valves
that can not be adjusted manually. Refrigerant should never
be added or removed from the system based on the desire to
achieve an arbitrary subcooling value. It will always be Daikin's
recommendation that unit’s suspected of being over/under
charged have all of their refrigerant removed, leak tested with
nitrogen, and then re-charged based on the unit name plate.

VFD Compressor Operation – DPS 016–028
VFD compressor modulation is controlled by a Mobus® signal
from the unit controller. The minimum VFD compressor speed
is 25 rps (1500 rpm) and the maximum VFD compressor speed
is 100 rps (6000 rpm), but the minimum and maximum limits
per unit may vary depending on operating conditions and unit
model size.
The VFD compressor is a 4 pole motor design that operates off
a frequency signal from the VFD between 50Hz and 200Hz.
At Start-up the VFD compressor will automatically ramp up to
50 rps for rst 10 seconds for lubrication requirements.
Crankcase heating for VFD Compressor is performed by the
VFD via DC-holding current through the motor windings.
VFD compressor modulation is additionally monitored and

more capacity is required, a xed speed compressor is started
while the VFD compressor is reduced to minimum speed at
which point it resumes modulating to maintain the discharge
temperature. When the VFD compressor is at its minimum
speed and less capacity is required, a xed speed compressor
is turned OFF while the VFD compressor is increased to
maximum speed at which point it resumes modulating to
maintain discharge temperature.

VFD Compressor Control
Control of the VFD compressor is accomplished with a digital
output enable signal and a 0-10VDC analog modulating
control signal.
General VFD Compressor Start Sequence
On a call for VFD compressor operation the VFD enable
output is energized (on) and the 0-10VDC analog control
signal is set to 3.33VDC (50 rps) for 10 seconds. During this
10 second initial period the VFD compressor’s internal logic
ramps the compressor to 50 rps to insure compressor startup oil
lubrication. After 10 seconds the VFD compressor control signal
begins modulation to maintain the cooling discharge set point.
Compressor Stage Up Transition (DPS 025 & 028 Only)
When the VFD compressor has been operating at maximum
capacity for the cooling stage time period and there is a call
for more cooling capacity the following transition sequence is
followed when staging up.
During the xed compressor stage UP sequence, the VFD
compressor speed is reduced to its minimum, as a xed speed
compressor is turned on. Note that the VFD compressor speed
range is extended for these staging points to assure smooth
transition and to minimize capacity gaps. Typically, the VFD
compressor is overdriven (higher speed than normal full load
rating speed) before staging up the xed compressor. The
VFD is held at minimum speed for 30 seconds before normal
modulation resumes.
Compressor Stage Down Transition (DPS 025 & 028 Only)
When the VFD compressor has been operating at minimum
capacity for the cooling stage time period and there is a call
for less capacity the following transition sequence is followed
when staging down.
During the xed speed compressor stage DOWN sequence,
the VFD compressor speed is increased to maximum speed
(which varies with unit size and number of operating xed
compressors) as the xed speed compressor is turned
off. Note that the VFD compressor speed range has been
extended for these staging points to assure smooth transition
and to minimize capacity gaps. Typically, the VFD compressor
will be overdriven (higher speed than normal full load rating
speed) when staging down the xed compressor.
Dehumidication Transition During Cooling State
When dehumidication operation becomes active while the
unit is in the Cooling operating state, The VFD compressor
is ramped to its maximum capacity. If the VFD capacity at
this point is already above 75% of its full modulation a xed
compressor is also turned on. The compressors are held at this
capacity for 1 minute before normal modulation resumes, to
maintain leaving coil temperature (LCT).
• VFD compressor will load up completely before starting
any xed speed compressors to achieve LCT of 45F
(default) with the VFD compressor option. LCT may be
set between 45F to 52F.
• If reheat signal is at 100% for 10 minutes and the unit is
unable to raise the DAT to desired point, the controller
will stage off the xed compressor and modulate the VFD
compressor speed to achieve the DAT set point.
Oil Balance/Boost Operational Sequence
When a low oil level is indicated in the VFD compressor sump,
the unit switches to either an oil balance or oil boost state. The
VFD compressor speed is increased during these modes to
promote the return of refrigerant oil to the VFD compressor.
To avoid short cycling of the oil balance/boost sequence, no
action is taken until a low oil indication has been present for 5
consecutive run minutes.
The unit determines whether to enter the oil balance or oil
boost mode based on the running conditions when a low oil
indication is experienced. The balance mode is only used when
a VFD compressor is part of a tandem compressor set. The
balance mode is usually entered rst, and is utilized to move
oil from the xed speed compressor to the VFD compressor. If
this mode fails to resolve the low oil indication issue, the unit
will then go into the boost mode. The boost mode is utilized
to return oil from the refrigerant system to the compressors.
VFD compressors that are not part of a tandem compressor
arrangement will skip the balance mode and only utilize the
boost mode.
The balance mode will be entered if the VFD compressor is
part of a tandem compressor arrangement and the xed speed
compressor is running, and there is a low oil indication. Upon
entering the oil balance mode the xed speed compressor
is turned off and the VFD compressor speed is increased to
the oil boost value shown in Table 9 on page 26. The VFD
compressor runs at this condition until the optical oil sensor
veries that oil is present for 3 continuous minutes. Unit
Controller default is set for a 10 minute max balance.
