COMPONENT OPERATION AND TESTING
WARNING
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE
UNIT BEFORE SERVICING OR TESTING
COMPRESSORS
Compressors are single phase, 208/23 0 volt. All c ompres sor
motors are permanent split capacitor type, using only a running
capacitor across the start and run terminal.
All compressor s are internally spr ing mounted and exter nally
mounted on rubber isolators.
Line Voltage Overload
The compressor is equipped with an internal line voltage over-
load. This overload is embedded in the windings of the motor
to sense the motor temperature. The overload will open and
disconnect the power to the motor due to high temperatures
cause d b y :
1. A locked rotor.
2. Excessive running amps.
3. High discharge temperature.
4. Low refrigerant charge.
Testing Procedures
1. Ter minal "C" and "S" – no continuity – open w inding
– replace compressor.
2. Ter minal "C" and "R" – no continuit y – open winding
– replace compressor.
3. Terminal "R" and " S" – no continuity – open winding
- replace compressor.
4. T erminal "C" and the shell of the compressor – continuity
– grounded motor – replace compressor.
5. Should continuity exist bet ween terminals "R" and "S",
but not between terminals "C" and " S" and " C" and " R",
the internal overload may be open. If the compressor is
extremely hot, allow it suffi cient time to cool. It may require
as long as one hour for the compressor to cool suffi ciently
for the internal overload to close.
GROUND TEST
Use an ohmmeter set on its highest scale. Touch one lead to
the co mpresso r body ( cle an poin t of co ntact, as a good connection is a must) and the other probe in turn to each compressor
terminal. (See Figure 3. ) If a reading is obtained, the compressor
is grounded and must be replaced.

across the following:
FIGURE 2 COMPRESSOR WINDING TEST
CHECKING COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY
The reason for compressor ineffi ciency is normally due to bro-
ken or damaged suction and/or discharge valves, reducing the
ability of the compressor to pump refrigerant gas.
This condition can be checked as follows:
1. Install a piercing valve on the suction and discharge or liquid
process tube.
2. Attach gages to the high and low sides of the system.
3. Start the system. Run a "cooling or heating performance test."
If test sh ows:
A. Below normal high side pressure.
B. Above normal low side pressure.
C. Low temperature difference across the coil.
The compressor valves are faulty - replace the compressor .

FAN MOTOR (Figure 4)
A 230 volt single phase permanent split capacitor motor is
used to drive the evaporator blower and condenser fan. A
running capacitor is wired acros s the star t and r un terminals
of the motor.
CAPACITOR, RUN
A run capacitor is wired across the auxiliary and main winding
of a single phase permanent split capacitor motor such as the
compressor and fan motors. A single capacitor can be used for
each motor or a dual rated capacitor can be used for both.
The motor is totally enclosed and is protected with a line volt-
age overload located internally of the motor. The motor shaft
is stainless steel to resist corrosion.
FIGURE 4

FAN MOTOR – TEST
Disconnect power to the unit.
1. Determine that the capacitor is serviceable.
2. Disconnect the black lead from the circuit board.
3. Apply "live" test cord leads to the common terminal of
the capacitor and the black lead. The motor should run
at high speed.
SOLID STATE RELAY (Figure 5)
Two 50 amp rated 20 8/230 volt solid state relays are used to
energize the compressor and fan motor. T erminals 3 and 4 are the
208/230 volt line side. Terminals 1 and 2 are load side contacts.
The capacitor’s primary function is to reduc e the line current
while greatly improving the torque characteristic s of a motor.
The capacitor also reduces t he line current to the motor by
improving the power factor of the load. The line side of the
capacitor is marked with a red dot and is wired to the line side
of the circuit (see Figure 7.)

SWITCH, ON-OFF
3. For dual rated capacitor s, apply an ohmmeter lead to
the common (C) terminal and the other probe to the
compressor (HERM) terminal. A satisfactory capacitor will
cause a defl ection on the pointer, then gradually move back
to infi nity.
4. Reverse the leads of the probe and momentarily touch the
capacitor terminals. The defl ection of the pointer sh ould be
two times that of the fi rst check if the capacitor is good.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to check the fan motor capacitor.
NOTE: A shorted capacitor will indicate a low
resistance and the pointer will move more to the “ 0”
end of the scale and remain there as long as the
probes are connected. An open capacitor will show
no movement of the pointer when placed across the
terminals of the capacitor.

THERMOSTAT
A cross ambient thermostat is used to maintain t he desired
comfort level. The thermost at reacts only to a change in
temperature at the bulb location. Import ant to the succe ssful
operation of the unit is the position of the sensing bulb in relation
to the evaporator (see F igure 8 ).

TEST
Remove the wires from the thermostat. Turn the thermostat to
its coldest position. Check to see if there is continuity between
the two terminals. Turn the thermostat to its warme st posit ion.
Check continuity to see if the thermostat contacts open.
Note: The temperature must be with in the range listed to check
the thermostat. Refer to the troubleshooting sec tion in this
manual for additional information on thermostat testing.
LOW AMBIENT BYPASS VALVE (Figure 9)
The HazardGard unit is designed to operate at low outside
ambient temperatures. This is accomplished by the use of a
bypass valve installed in the refrigeration circuit. The valve
is connected between the discharge line at the c ompressor
and the suction process tube. The valve responds to suction
pressure which, when reduced in the system, c auses the
valve to open and bypass hot gas from the high pressure side
to the low pressure side of the system. The hot gas entering
the compressor mixes with the cool gas returned through the
suction line, thus increasing the suction pressure. The valve
is preset to open when the su ction pressure rea ches 50 psig .
This pressure setting cannot be altered. The system can be
operated at outdoor temperatures as low as 45° F before the
evaporator coil will begin to accumulate frost.
To determine i f the valve operates, block the return air to the
evaporator coil. Turn on the unit and touch t he tube at the
bypass valve outlet which connects to the suction process
tube. When the low side pressure reaches approximately 50
psig, the valve will begin to open and the tube will get hot. This
method will determine if the valve is responding to the suction
pressure change.

HERMETIC COMPONENT REPLACEMENT
The following procedure applies when replacing comp onents
in the sealed refrigeration circuit or repairing refrigerant leaks.
(Compressor , condenser, evaporator , capillary tube, refrigerant
leaks, etc.)
1. Recover the refrigerant from the system at the process
tube located on the high side of the system by installing
a line tap on the process tube. Apply the gauge from the
process tube to EPA approved gauges from the process
tube to the EPA approved recovery system. Recover the
CFC’s in the system to at least 5 %.
12. Rest art the unit several times after allowing pressures
to stabilize. Pinch off the process tube s, cut and solder
the ends. Remove the pinch off tool, and leak check the
process tube ends.
SPECIAL PROCEDURES IN THE CASE OF
COMPRESSOR MOTOR BURNOUT
1. Recover all refrigerant and oil from the system.
2. Remove the compressor, capillary tube and fi lter drier from
the system .
2. Cut the process tube below the pinch off in the suction side
of the compressor.
3. C onnect the line from the nitrogen tank to the suction
process tube.
4. Drift dr y nitrogen through the system and unsolder the
more distant connection first. (Filter drier, high side
process tube, etc. )
5. Replace the inoperative component, and always install a
new fi lter drier. Drift dry nitrogen through the system when
making these connections.
6. Pressurize the system to 30 PSIG with proper refrigerant
and boost the refrigerant pressure to 150 PSIG with dr y
nitrogen.
7. Leak test the complete system with the electric halogen
leak detector, correcting any leaks found.
8. Reduce the system to zero gauge pressure.
9. Connect the vacuum pump to the high side and low side
of the sys t em wi th d eep v acu u m h oses , o r coppe r t ub ing .
(Do not use regular hoses.)
3. Flush the evaporator , condenser and all connecting tubing
with dry nitrogen, or equivalent, to remov e all contamination
from the system. Inspect the suction and discharge lines
for carbon deposits. Remove and clean if necessary.
4. Reassemble the system, including a new drier -strainer and
capillary tube.
5. Proc eed with processing as outlined under hermetic
component replacement.
ROTARY COMPRESSOR
SPECIAL TROUBLESHOOTING & SERVICE
Basically, troubleshooting and servicing rotary compres sors
is the same as on the reciprocating compressor w ith only a
few exceptions.
1. Because of the spinning motion of the rotary, the mounts
are critical. If vibration is present, check the mounts
carefully.
2. The electrical terminals on the rotary are in a different order
than the reciprocating compressors. The terminal markings
are on the cover gasket. Use your wiring diagram to insure
the corr e ct con n ec ti on s .
10. Evacuate the system to an absolute holding pressure of
200 microns or less.
NOTE: This procedure can be sped up by the use of
heat lamps, or by breaking the vacuum with refrigerant
or dry nitrogen at 5,000 microns. Pressure system to 5
PSIG and leave in the system a minimum of 10 minutes.
Recover refrigerant, and proceed with evacuation to a
pressure of 200 microns or a minimum of 10%.
11. Break the vacuum by charging the system from the high
side with the correct amount of refrigerant specifi ed. This
will prevent boiling the oil out of the crankcase.
NOTE: If the entire charge will not enter the high side,
allow the remainder to enter the low side in small
increments while operating the unit.
REFRIGERANT CHARGE
1. The refr igerant charge is extremely critical. Measure the
charge carefully and as exactly as possible to the nameplate
charge.
2. The correct method for charging the rotary is to introduce
liquid refrigerant into the high side of the system with the
unit off. Then start the compressor and enter the balance
of the charge, gas only, in to the low side.
The introduction of liquid into the low side, without the use of
a capillary tube, will cause damage to the discharge valve
of the rotary compressor.
NOTE: All inoperative compressors returned to Friedrich
must have all lines properly plugged with the plugs from
the replacement compressor.
