WARNING

WARNING

SYSTEM CONTAMINANTS, IMPROPER SERVICE PROCEDURE AND/OR PHYSICAL

ABUSE AFFECTING HERMETIC COMPRESSOR ELE CTRICAL TERMINALS MAY
CAUSE DANGEROUS SYSTEM 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.

T

O AVOID POSSIBLE INJURY, EX PLOSION OR DEATH, PRACTICE SAFE

HANDLING OF RE FRIGERANTS.

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.

PRODUCT DESIGN

This section gives a basic description of cooling unit opera­tion, its various components and their basic operation.
Ensure your system is properly sized for heat gain and loss
according to methods of the Air Conditioning Contractors
Association (ACCA) or equivalent.

CONDENSING UNIT

The condenser air is pulled through the condenser coil by a
direct drive propeller fan. This condenser air is then dis­charged out of the top of the cabinet. These units are
designed for free air discharge, so no additional resistance,
like duct work, shall be attached.

The suction and liquid line connections on present models
are of the sweat type for field piping with refrigerant type
copper. Front seating valves are factory installed to accept
the field run copper. The total refrigerant charge for a normal
installation is factory installed in the condensing unit.

ASXC, ASZC, DSXC, DSZC models are available in 2
through 5 ton sizes and use R-410A refrigerant. They are
designed for 208/230 volt single phase applications.

ASXC, ASZC, DSXC, DSZC R-410A model units use the
Copeland Scroll "Ultratech" Series compressors which are
specifically designed for R-410A refrigerant. These units also
have Copeland
ComfortAlert diagnostics are integrated into the unitary (UC)
control. These models are ComfortNetTM ready.

There are a number of design characteristics which are
different from the traditional reciprocating and/or scroll com­pressors.

"Ultractech" Series scroll compressors will not have a dis­charge thermostat. Some of the early model scroll compres­sors required discharge thermostat.

"Ultratech" Series scroll compressors use "POE" or
polyolester oil which is NOT compatible with mineral oil
based lubricants like 3GS. "POE" oil must be used if
additional oil is required.

The ASXC [16 & 18], ASZC [16 & 18], DSXC [16 & 18] and
DSZC [16 & 18] series split system units use a two-stage
scroll compressor. The two-step modulator has an internal
unloading mechanism that opens a bypass port in the first
compression pocket, effectively reducing the displacement
of the scroll. The opening and closing of the bypass port is
controlled by an internal electrically operated solenoid.

®

ComfortAlert diagnostics. The Copeland

The ZPS two-step modulated scroll uses a single step of
unloading to go from full capacity to approximately 67%
capacity. A single speed, high efficiency motor continues to
run while the scroll modulates between the two capacity
steps.

FIGURE A

A scroll is an involute spiral which, when matched with a
mating scroll form as shown, generates a series of crescent
shaped gas pockets between the two members.

During compression, one scroll remains stationary (fixed
scroll) while the other form (orbiting scroll) is allowed to orbit

®

(but not rotate) around the first form.

As this motion occurs, the pockets between the two forms
are slowly pushed to the center of the two scrolls while
simultaneously being reduced in volume. When the pocket
reaches the center of the scroll form, the gas, which is now
at a high pressure, is discharged out of a port located at the
center.

During compression, several pockets are being compressed
simultaneously, resulting in a very smooth process. Both the
suction process (outer portion of the scroll members) and the
discharge process (inner portion) are continuous.

Some design characteristics of the Compliant Scroll com­pressor are:

• Compliant Scroll compressors are more tolerant of liquid
refrigerant.

NOTE: Even though the compressor section of a Scroll
compressor is more tolerant of liquid refrigerant, contin­ued floodback or flooded start conditions may wash oil
from the bearing surfaces causing premature bearing
failure.

24

PRODUCT DESIGN

• Compliant scroll compressors perform "quiet" shutdowns
that allow the compressor to restart immediately without
the need for a time delay. This compressor will restart
even if the system has not equalized.

NOTE: Operating pressures and amp draws may differ
from standard reciprocating compressors. This informa­tion can be found in the unit's Technical Information
Manual.

CAPACITY CONTROL - COMFORTNET

TM

MODELS

During the compression process, there are several pockets
within the scroll that are compressing gas. Modulation is
achieved by venting a portion of the gas in the first suction
pocket back to the low side of the compressor thereby
reducing the effective displacement of the compressor. See
Figure A. Full capacity is achieved by blocking these vents,
increasing the displacement to 100%. A solenoid in the
compressor, controlled by an external 24-volt ac signal,
moves the slider ring that covers and uncovers these vents.
The vent covers are arranged in such a manner that the
compressor operates somewhere around 67% capacity
when the solenoid is not energized and 100% capacity when
the solenoid is energized. The loading and unloading of the
two step scroll is done “on the fly” without shutting off the
motor between steps. See Figure C below. The unloaded
mode default was chosen for two reasons:

assembly. This plug is connected to the Communicating
Unitary Control PCB (UC PCB) which contains a full wave
rectifier to supply direct current to the unloader coil.

COILS AND BLOWER COILS

MBVC blower cabinets are designed to be used as a two­piece blower and coil combination and can be utilized with the
CAUF, CAPF and CAPT coils for upflow and downflow
applications. The CACF and CHPF coils are designed for
horizontal applications. This two-piece arrangement allows
for a variety of mix-matching possibilities providing greater

flexibility.
The MBVC blower cabinets use a variable speed motor that

maintains a constant airflow with a higher duct static. MBVC
blower cabinets are approved for applications with cooling
coils of up to 0.8 inches W.C. external static pressure. The
MBVC models allow airflow trimming of +/-10%.

All units are constructed with R-4.2 insulation. In areas of
extreme humidity (greater than 80% consistently), insulate
the exterior of the blower with insulation having a vapor barrier
equivalent to ductwork insulation, providing local codes
permit.

AVPTC Multi-Position Air Handler

AVPTC is a multi-position, variable-speed air handler used
with R-410A and are available in 2 to 5 ton sizes with optional
3 kW to 25kW electric heat kits available for field installation.
The AVPTC unit’s blower design includes a variable-speed
ECM motor and is compatible with heat pumps and variable­capacity cooling applications.

This appliance can be installed in the vertical or left horizontal
position without modification. The horizontal right and downflow
positions require product modification. This product is de­signed for zero inches (0 inches) clearance; however, ad­equate access for service or replacement must be consid­ered without removing permanent structure. This unit can be
installed on a platform when deemed necessary.

In an attic installation a secondary drain pan must be provided
by the installer and placed under the entire unit with a
separate drain line properly sloped and terminated in an area
visible to the owner. This secondary drain pan is required in
the event that there is a leak or main drain blockage. Closed
cell insulation should be applied to the drain lines in uncon­ditioned spaces where sweating may occur.

NOTE: AVPTC air handlers are factory-sealed to achieve a
2% or less leakage rate at 1.0" water gauge external duct
static pressure.

UNLOADER SOLENOID

A nominal 24-volt direct current coil activates the internal
unloader solenoid. The input control circuit voltage must be
18 to 28 volt ac. The coil power requirement is 20 VA. The
external electrical connection is made with a molded plug

25

PRODUCT DESIGN

Communicating Unitary Control (UC) PCB

The Communicating System Unitary Control PCB is a micro­processor-based control for heat pump and air conditioning
condensing units with single-phase compressors up to 5 ton
capacity operating on standard residential or Delta and Wye
commercial power. The control incorporates the basic func­tionality of existing defrost controls, outdoor thermostats,
contactors, compressor staging controls, short cycle con­trols, line voltage monitors, Comfort Alert™ or CoreSense
Module (dependent upon which module you are using), two
speed condenser fan relays and the Active Protection com­ponent of enabled thermostats. The control is designed to
work as part of a fully communicating HVAC system with 4
wires. The control also supports legacy 24VAC thermostat
inputs for Y1, Y2, O and 24VAC outputs for RVS, W1, and L
for non-communicating systems. Outputs include compres­sor power, compressor stage select, and outdoor fan high
and outdoor fan low speed. System inputs include high/low
pressure switches, as well as thermistor inputs for outdoor
coil temperature and outdoor air temperature.

26

SYSTEM OPERA TION

COOLING

The refrigerant used in the system is R-410A. It is a clear,
colorless, non-toxic and non-irritating liquid. R-410A is a
50:50 blend of R-32 and R-125. The boiling point at atmo­spheric pressure is -62.9°F.

A few of the important principles that make the refrigeration
cycle possible are: heat always flows from a warmer to a
cooler body. Under lower pressure, a refrigerant will absorb
heat and vaporize at a low temperature. The vapors may be
drawn off and condensed at a higher pressure and tempera­ture to be used again.

The indoor evaporator coil functions to cool and dehumidify
the air conditioned spaces through the evaporative process
taking place within the coil tubes.

NOTE: The pressures and temperatures shown in the
refrigerant cycle illustrations on the following pages are for
demonstration purposes only. Actual temperatures and pres­sures are to be obtained from the "Expanded Performance
Chart".

Liquid refrigerant at condensing pressure and temperatures,
(270 psig and 122°F), leaves the outdoor condensing coil
through the drier and is metered into the indoor coil through
the metering device. As the cool, low pressure, saturated
refrigerant enters the tubes of the indoor coil, a portion of the
liquid immediately vaporizes. It continues to soak up heat and
vaporizes as it proceeds through the coil, cooling the indoor
coil down to about 48°F.

Heat is continually being transferred to the cool fins and tubes
of the indoor evaporator coil by the warm system air. This
warming process causes the refrigerant to boil. The heat
removed from the air is carried off by the vapor.

As the vapor passes through the last tubes of the coil, it
becomes superheated. That is, it absorbs more heat than is
necessary to vaporize it. This is assurance that only dry gas
will reach the compressor. Liquid reaching the compressor
can weaken or break compressor valves.

The compressor increases the pressure of the gas, thus
adding more heat, and discharges hot, high pressure super­heated gas into the outdoor condenser coil.

In the condenser coil, the hot refrigerant gas, being warmer
than the outdoor air, first loses its superheat by heat trans­ferred from the gas through the tubes and fins of the coil. The
refrigerant now becomes saturated, part liquid, part vapor and
then continues to give up heat until it condenses to a liquid
alone. Once the vapor is fully liquefied, it continues to give up
heat which subcools the liquid, and it is ready to repeat the
cycle.

HEATING

The heating portion of the refrigeration cycle is similar to the
cooling cycle. By energizing the reversing valve solenoid coil,
the flow of the refrigerant is reversed. The indoor coil now
becomes the condenser coil, and the outdoor coil becomes
the evaporator coil.

The check valve at the indoor coil will open by the flow of
refrigerant letting the now condensed liquid refrigerant by­pass the indoor expansion device. The check valve at the
outdoor coil will be forced closed by the refrigerant flow,
thereby utilizing the outdoor expansion device.

COOLING CYCLE

For communicating room thermostat: When the room ther­mostat calls for either low stage cool or high stage cool,
appropriate commands are sent via the data 1 and data 2 lines
to the outdoor unit's UC control. The UC control energizes the
on-board compressor relay and the on-board outdoor fan
relay. The compressor high stage solenoid is energized if it
is a high stage call.

The UC control sends a fan command to the indoor unit (air
handler or furnace). The indoor unit operates the indoor
blower at the appropriate airflow level. The system operates
at the cooling level demanded by the thermostat.

When the thermostat is satisfied, appropriate commands are
sent to the UC control. The compressor relay and outdoor
fan relay is de-energized. The compressor high stage
solenoid is de-energized if it was energized. The UC control
sends an appropriate command to the indoor unit to de­energize the indoor blower motor.

If room thermostat fan status is set to be “on”, then indoor
blower would run continuously rather than cycling with the
compressor.

For heat pumps, the reversing valve is energized during the
cooling cycle. The call for cooling from the communicating
thermostat indicates to the control that the reversing valve is
to be energized during cooling operation.

HEATING CYCLE

For communicating room thermostat: When the room ther­mostat calls for either low stage heat or high stage heat,
appropriate commands are sent via the data 1 and data 2 lines
to the outdoor unit's UC control. The UC control energizes the
on-board compressor relay and the on-board outdoor fan
relay. The compressor high stage solenoid is energized if it
is a high stage call. The UC control sends a fan command
to the indoor unit (air handler or furnace). The indoor unit
operates the indoor blower at the appropriate airflow level.
The system operates at the cooling level demanded by the
thermostat.

When the thermostat is satisfied, appropriate commands are
sent to the UC control. The compressor relay and outdoor
fan relay is de-energized. The compressor high stage
solenoid is de-energized if it was energized. The UC control
sends an appropriate command to the indoor unit to de­energize the indoor blower motor.

27

SYSTEM OPERA TION

DEFROST CYCLE - COMFORTNETTM MODELS

The defrosting of the outdoor coil is jointly controlled by the
UC PCB and the outdoor coil temperature (OCT) sensor.

The OCT sensor is clamped to a feeder tube entering the
outdoor coil. Defrost timing periods of 30, 60, 90 or 120
minutes may be selected via the dipswitch settings on the UC
PCB. In a communicating system, the defrost timing periods
can also be selected in the communicating thermostat user
menu. During operation, if the coil temperature is low enough
(approximately 31° F), the microprocessor will accumulate
the compressor run time. When the total compressor run
time reaches 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes, and there is a call for
heat, the PCB will initiate a defrost cycle. When the
microprocessor detects the coil temperature to be high
enough (approximately 75 0F), or 10 minutes of maximum
defrost cycle time has elapsed, whichever occurs first, the
defrost cycle is terminated and the timing period is reset. The
field service personnel can also advance a heat pump to the
defrost cycle by simultaneously pressing the “TEST” button
and the “RECALL” button on the UC board.

Use the dipswitches to select defrost time interval (30, 60, 90
or 120 minutes) See chart below

S-1 CHECKING VOLTAGE

1. Remove outer case, control panel cover, etc., from unit
being tested.

With power ON:

WARNING

Line Voltage now present.

2. Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage across terminals
L1 and L2 of the contactor for the condensing unit or at the
field connections for the air handler or heaters.

ComfortNetTM Ready Condensing Units: Measure the
voltage across the L1 and L2 lugs on the unitary (UC)
control.

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. NOTE: If
checking heaters, be sure all heating elements are
energized.

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.

ComfortNet Ready Condensing Units: To measure the
Locked Rotor Voltage, attach a voltmeter to the run "R"
and common "C" terminals of the compressor or across
the "R" and "C" lugs on the unitary (UC) control. 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. Locked rotor voltage 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 regard to either low or high
voltage.

NOTE: When operating electric heaters on voltages other
than 240 volts, refer to the System Operation section on
electric heaters to calculate temperature rise and air flow.
Low voltage may cause insufficient heating.

3. If any wires must be replaced, replace with comparable
gauge and insulation thickness.

S-3E CTK0*** COMFORTNETTM THERMOSTAT

COMFORTNET™ SYSTEM

The ComfortNet system (or CT system) is a system that
includes a ComfortNet compatible air handler/furnace/modu­lar blower and air conditioner or heat pump with a CTK0*
thermostat. Any other system configurations are considered
invalid ComfortNet systems and must be connected as a
tradition (or legacy) system. The table below compares the
valid CT systems.

CT compatible Air Handler or

Modular Blo w er

CT compatible Air Handler or

Modular Blo w er

A ComfortNet heating/air conditioning system differs from a
legacy/traditional system in the manner in which the indoor
unit, outdoor unit and thermostat interact with one another. In
a traditional system, the thermostat sends commands to the
indoor and outdoor units via analog 24 VAC signals. It is a
one-way communication path in that the indoor and outdoor
units typically do not return information to the thermostat.

On the other hand, the indoor unit, outdoor unit, and thermo­stat comprising a ComfortNet system “communicate” digi­tally with one another. It is now a two-way communications
path. The thermostat still sends commands to the indoor and
outdoor units. However, the thermostat may also request and
receive information from both the indoor and outdoor units.
This information may be displayed on the CT thermostat. The
indoor and outdoor units also interact with one another. The
outdoor unit may send commands to or request information
from the indoor unit. This two-way digital communications

SERVICING

between the thermostat and subsystems (indoor/outdoor
unit) and between subsystems is the key to unlocking the
benefits and features of the ComfortNet system.

Two-way digital communications is accomplished using
only two wires. The thermostat and subsystem controls are
powered with 24 VAC Thus, a maximum of 4 wires between
the equipment and thermostat is all that is required to operate
the system.

AIRFLOW CONSIDERATIONS

Airflow demands are managed differently in a fully communi­cating system than they are in a legacy wired system. The
system operating mode (as determined by the thermostat)
determines which unit calculates the system airflow demand.
If the indoor unit is responsible for determining the airflow
demand, it calculates the demand and sends it to the ECM
motor. If the outdoor unit or thermostat is responsible for
determining the demand, it calculates the demand and
transmits the demand along with a fan request to the indoor
unit. The indoor unit then sends the demand to the ECM
motor. The following table lists the various ComfortNet™
systems, the operating mode, and airflow demand source.

For example, assume the system is an air conditioner
matched with an air handler. With a call for low stage cooling,
the air conditioner will calculate the system’s low stage
cooling airflow demand. The air conditioner will then send a
fan request along with the low stage cooling airflow demand
to the air handler. Once received, the air handler will send the
low stage cooling airflow demand to the ECM motor. The
ECM motor then delivers the low stage cooling airflow. The
table below lists the nominal high and low stage airflow for the
ComfortNet air conditioners and heat pumps.

CTK0* WIRING

A removable plug connector is provided with the control to
make thermostat wire connections. This plug may be re­moved, wire connections made to the plug, and replaced. It
is strongly recommended that multiple wires into a single
terminal be twisted together prior to inserting into the plug
connector. Failure to do so may result in intermittent opera­tion. Typical 18 AWG thermostat wire may be used to wire the
system components. However, communications reliability
may be improved by using a high quality, shielded, twisted
pair cable for the data transmission lines. In either case, 100
feet is the maximum length of wire between indoor unit and
outdoor unit, or between indoor unit and thermostat.

RECOMMENDED CTK 03/04 WIRING SCHEME:

Three wires should be utilized between the indoor and outdoor
units. For this wiring scheme, two wires for the data lines, 1
and 2 are required and a wire connecting the common “C”
terminals between the indoor and outdoor units. This con­nects both commons to the same ground potential allowing
for better communication. A 40VA, 208/230 VAC to 24 VAC
transformer must be installed in the outdoor unit to provide
24 VAC power to the outdoor unit’s electronic control. The
transformer is included with the CTK0* kit. See kit instruc­tions for mounting and wiring instructions. Four wires are
required between the indoor unit and thermostat.

ALTERNATE CTK 03/04 WIRING SCHEME:

Two wires may be utilized between the indoor and outdoor
units. For this wiring scheme, only the data lines, 1 and 2,
are required between the indoor and outdoor units. A 40VA,
208/230 VAC to 24 VAC transformer must be installed in the
outdoor unit to provide 24 VAC power to the outdoor unit’s
electronic control. The “C” 24v common of the outdoor
transformer should be grounded to the equipment (earth)
ground. Not as secure as the third wire but it insures there is
not a floating “C” 24v common. The transformer is included
with the CTK0* kit. See kit instructions for mounting and
wiring instructions. Four wires are required between the
indoor unit and thermostat.

Diagnostics

Accessing the air handler’s diagnostics menu provides ready
access to the last six faults detected by the air handler.
Faults are stored most recent to least recent. Any consecu­tively repeated fault is stored a maximum of three times.
Example: A clogged return air filter causes the air handler’s
motor to repeatedly enter a limiting condition. The control will
only store this fault the first three consecutive times the fault
occurs.

NOTE: It is highly recommended that the fault history be
cleared after performing maintenance or servicing the air
handler.

Network Troubleshooting

The ComfortNet™ system is a fully communicating system,
and thus, constitutes a network. Occasionally the need to

Disconnect ALL power before servicing
or installing. Multiple power sources
may be present. Failure to do so may
cause property damage, personal injury
or death.

A step-down transformer (208/240 volt primary to 24 volt sec­ondary) is provided with each indoor unit. This allows ample
capacity for use with resistance heaters. The outdoor sec­tions do not contain a transformer (see note below).

4. Apply 24 volts to terminals H1 and H2. Check for
continuity across other terminals - should test continu­ous. If not as above - replace.

NOTE: The time delay for the contacts to make will be
approximately 20 to 50 seconds and to open after the coil is
de-energized is approximately 40 to 90 seconds.

Disconnect ALL power before servicing.

1. Remove control panel cover, or etc., to gain access to
transformer.

With power ON:

WARNING

Line Voltage now present.

2. Using a voltmeter, check voltage across secondary volt­age side of transformer (R to C).

3. No voltage indicates faulty transformer, bad wiring, or bad
splices.

4. Check transformer primary voltage at incoming line volt­age connections and/or splices.

5 If line voltage available at primary voltage side of trans-

former and wiring and splices good, transformer is inop­erative. Replace.

WARNING

Disconnect ALL power before servicing.

1. Connect voltmeter to lugs (L2) and (C).

2. With power ON, provide a call for cool or heat pump to
energize the on-board compressor contactor/relay.

WARNING

Line V oltage now present.

3. Measure voltage across on-board compressor contactor/
relay contacts.

A. No voltage indicates the contacts are closed and the
contactor/relay is functioning properly.

B. A reading of approximately half of the supply voltage
(example: 115VAC for 230VAC) indicates the relay is
open. Replace UC control if relay does not close.

NOTE: The unitary (UC) control has a built-in short cycle
delay. Ensure short cycle delay has elapsed before making
voltage measurements.

1. Tag and disconnect all wires from male spade connec­tions of relay.

2. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance across
terminals H1 and H2. Should read approximately 150
ohms.

HIGH VOLTAGE!
Disconnect ALL power before servicing
or installing. Multiple power sources
may be present. Failure to do so may
cause property damage, personal injury
or death.

1. Measure voltage between black and brown motor
leads. This should measure 208/230 volts depending
on your power supply.

2. If voltage is present proceed to check fan relay
contacts and voltage.

CHECKING FAN RELAY CONTACTS - ECM FAN MOTOR

1. Disconnect fan motor harness from plug on the UC
board.

2. Energize the system in low stage and check voltage:

• Pin 5(Blue wire) to Pin 3(Yellow wire) =
24VAC

3. Energize the system in high stage and check volt­age:

• Pin 5(Blue wire) to Pin 3(Yellow wire) =
24VAC

• Pin 5(Blue wire) to Pin 1(White wire) = 24
VAC.

CHECKING RELAY CONTACTS - PSC FAN MOTOR

HIGH VOLTAGE!
Disconnect ALL power before servicing
or installing. Multiple power sources
may be present. Failure to do so may
cause property damage, personal injury
or death.

1. Disconnect the motor leads from 6-circuit fan motor wire
harness.

2. Connect a voltmeter between circuit 3 and circuits 2 (low
speed) or 1 (high speed).

NOTE: Circuit 3 is connected directly to L2.

3. Energize the system at low or high stage.

WARNING

Line Voltage now present.

4. The measured voltage between circuit 3 and circuits 2 or
1 should be approximately 0VAC, which indicates the
relay contacts are closed. A voltage measurement of
approximately 115VAC indicates the relay is open. Re­place the control if the relay checks open when it should
be closed.

HIGH VOL TAGE!
Disconnect ALL power before servicing
or installing. Multiple power sources
may be present. Failure to do so may
cause pr ope rty dam age , pe rs onal inju ry

The high pressure control capillary senses the pressure in
the compressor discharge line. If abnormally high condens­ing pressures develop, the contacts of the control open,
breaking the control circuit before the compressor motor
overloads. This control is automatically reset.

1. Using an ohmmeter, check across terminals of high
pressure control, with wire removed. If not continuous,
the contacts are open.

2. Attach a gauge to the dill valve port on the base valve.

S-14 CHECKING HIGH AND LOW PRESSURE

SWITCH VOLTAGE

The HPC and LPC are wired in series so output at both
switches should be the same when switches are closed
voltage reading should be 6.5vdc or 8.0vac. NOTE: the
Discharge Thermostat is wired in series with the HPC if DT
is open you will read input voltage on the HPC and no voltage
on the output of HPC or LPC.

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.

The line side of this capacitor is marked with "COM" and is
wired to the line side of the circuit.

4. If the reading is near to the actual value of the capacitor
(i.e. the printed value on the capacitor). The capacitor is
good. (Note that the reading may be less than the actual
printed value of the capacitor).

5. If you read a significantly lower capacitance or none at
all, then capacitor is dead and must be replaced.

4. Reading will immediately return to the OL = (Open Line)
(Figure 2). Every attempt of Step 2 will show the same
result as was in step 4 and Step 5. This indicates that the
capacitor is good.

5. If there is no Change, then capacitor is dead and must be
replaced.

Check for Analog Meter

ECM MOTORS

DESCRIPTION

The AVPTC and MBVC models utilize an Emerson, 4-wire
variable speed ECM blower motor. The ECM blower motor
provides constant CFM.

The motor is a serially communicating variable speed motor.
Only four wires are required to control the motor: +Vdc,
Common, Receive, and Transmit.

The +Vdc and Common wires provide power to the motor's
low voltage control circuits. Typical supply voltage is 9-15
volts DC.

GENERAL CHECKS/CONSIDERATIONS

1. Check power supply to the air handler or modular blower.
Ensure power supply is within the range specified on
rating plate. See section S-1.

2. Check motor power harness. Ensure wires are continu­ous and make good contact when seated in the connec­tors. Repair or replace as needed.

3. Check motor control harness. Ensure wires are continu­ous and make good contact when seated in the connec­tors. Repair or replace as needed.

4. Check thermostat and thermostat wiring. Ensure ther­mostat is providing proper cooling/heating/continuous
fan demands. Repair or replace as needed.

5. Check blower wheel. Confirm wheel is properly seated on
motor shaft. Set screw must be on shaft flat and torqued
to 165 in-lbs minimum. Confirm wheel has no broken or
loose blades. Repair or replace as needed.

6. Ensure motor and wheel turn freely. Check for interfer­ence between wheel and housing or wheel and motor.
Repair or replace as needed.

7. Check housing for cracks and/or corrosion. Repair or
replace as needed.

1. Remove the capacitor from the circuit.

2. Now Select "Capacitance" on your multi-meter.

3. Now connect the capacitor terminals to the multi-meter
leads.

8. Check motor mounting bracket. Ensure mouting bracket
is tightly secured to the housing. Ensure bracket is not
cracked or broken.

Emerson UltraCheck-EZTM Diagnostic Tool

The Emerson UltraCheck-EZTM diaganostic tool may be used
to diagnose the ECM motor.

1. Disconnect power to air handler or modular blower.
NOTE: Motor contains capacitors that can hold a charge for

several minutes after disconnecting power. Wait 5 minutes
after removing power to allow capacitors to discharge.

2. Disassemble motor as described in steps 2 through 4

above.

3. Locate the 3-circuit harness from the motor. Using an

ohmmeter, measure the resistance between each motor
phase winding. The resistance levels should be equal.
Replace the motor if the resistance levels are unequal,
open circuited or short circuited.

4. Measure the resistance between each motor phase

winding and the motor shell. Replace the motor if any
phase winding is short circuited to the motor shell.

5. Reassemble motor and control/end bell in reverse of

disassembly. Replace blower assembly into air handler
or modular blower.

S-16H ECM CFM ADJUSTMENTS AVPTC/MBVC

This section references the operation characteristics of the
AVPTC/MBVC models. The MBVC models utilize an
integrated air handler control. The air handler control
provides ECM blower motor control and includes all
dipswitches necessary to set up the cooling, heat pump and
electric airflow characteristics.

The control has three banks of dipswitches: a bank for
cooling airflow and trim adjustment, a bank for selecting one
of (4) enhancement profiles and enabling dehumidification,
and a bank for selecting the installed electric heater kit size.
Adjustments are made by selecting the appropriate ON/
OFF combinations of the dipswitches. The dipswitches
along with their functions are shown in the figures below.

S-17 CHECKING COMPRESSOR

WARNING

Hermetic compressor electrical terminal venting can
be dangerous. When insulating mat erial whic h
supports a hermeti c compresso r or electr ical t erminal
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
expelled, venting the vapor an d liquid contents of the
compres sor ho us ing an d sy stem .

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.

If the following test indicates shorted, grounded or open
windings, see procedures S-19 for the next steps to be
taken.

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.

Fuse, circuit breaker, ground fault protective device, etc.
has not tripped -

HIGH VOLTAGE!
Disconnect ALL power before servicing
or installing. Multiple power sources
may be present. Failure to do so may

S-17B GROUND TEST

If fuse, circuit breaker, ground fault protective device, etc.,
has tripped, this is a strong indication that an electrical
problem exists and must be found and corrected. The circuit
protective device rating must be checked, and its maximum
rating should coincide with that marked on the equipment
nameplate.

With the terminal protective cover in place, it is acceptable
to replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker ONE TIME
ONLY to see if it was just a nuisance opening. If it opens
again, DO NOT continue to reset.

A Meghometer should not be used to determine good or bad
compressors. There is not an industry recognized specifica­tion for mega ohm values for small tonnage compressors.
Scroll compressors can have the motor winding end-turns in
the oil, which can produce a lower resistance reading to
ground. The insulation type is the same for scroll and
reciprocating compressors.

Disconnect all power to unit, making sure that all power
legs are open.

1. DO NOT remove protective terminal cover. Disconnect
the three leads going to the compressor terminals at the
nearest point to the compressor.

2. Identify the leads and using an ohmmeter on the R x
10,000 scale or the highest resistance scale on your
ohmmeter check the resistance between each of the
three leads separately to ground (such as an unpainted
tube on the compressor).

3. If a ground is indicated, then carefully remove the
compressor terminal protective cover and inspect for
loose leads or insulation breaks in the lead wires.

4. If no visual problems indicated, carefully remove the
leads at the compressor terminals.

5. Carefully retest for ground, directly between compressor
terminals and ground.

6. If ground is indicated, replace the compressor. The
resistance reading should be infinity. If there is any
reading on meter, there is some continuity to ground and
compressor should be considered defective.

WARNING

Damage can occur to the glass embedded terminals if
the leads are not pro perly removed. This can result in
terminal and hot oil discharging.

S-17C UNLOADER TEST PROCEDURE

Unloader Test Procedure with Comfort Alert™-Unitary
(UC) Control Diagnostics

If you suspected that the unloader is not working, the
following methods may be used to verify operation.

UNLOADER SOL E NOID

1. Operate the system and measure compressor amper­age. Cycle the unloader on and off at ten second
intervals by appling and removing Y2 voltage to the
module. Wait five seconds after power is applied to Y2
before taking a reading. An increase in compressor
amperage should be observed when switching from part­load to full-load and a reduction in compressor amperage
should be observed when changing from full-load to part­load. The percent change in current depends on the
operating conditions and voltage.

2. If Step 1 does not give the expected results remove the
solenoid plug from the compressor and with the unit
running and the thermostat calling for Y2 to be energized
test the voltage output at the plug with a dc voltmeter.
The reading should be 4 to 18 VDC for Comfort Alert. If
not, unplug the harness from the module and check
voltage at the "High" pins of the module. The module will
not power the unloader solenoid if the compressor is not
running.

3. If the correct DC voltage is at the control circuit molded
plug measure the unloader coil resistance. Shut off
power and remove the control circuit molded plug from
the compressor and measure te unloader solenoid coil
resistance. If the coil resistance is infinite, zero, or
grounded, the compressor must be replaced.

NOTE: The positive temperature coefficient crankcase heater
is a 40 watt 265 voltage heater. The cool resistance of the
heater will be approximately 1800 ohms. The resistance will
become greater as the temperature of the compressor shell
increases.

S-21 CHECKING REVERSING VALVE AND

SOLENOID

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.

All heat pumps and ComfortNetTM heat pumps wired in
legacy - 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.

ComfortNet heat pumps only - Check voltage (24VAC) at
the non-insulated terminal E22 on the UC control board
(RVS on silkscreen) and "C" terminal on the 7-pin or 4-pin
connector on the UC control

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.

S-24 TESTING DEFROST CONTROL

S-26 TESTING TEMPERATURE SENSORS

(COMFORTNET READY MODELS ONLY)

The ASXC and DSXC ComfortNet ready air conditioner
models are factory equipped with an outdoor air tempera­ture (OAT) sensor. The OAT sensor allows the outdoor air
temperature to be displayed on the CTK0* thermostat when
used with the ASXC and DSXC models.

The ASZC and DSZC ComfortNet ready heat pump models
are equipped with both an outdoor air temperature (OAT)
sensor and an outdoor coil temperature (OCT) sensor. The
OAT provides the balance point temperature in heat pump
systems (air handler w/electric heat + heat pump) and dual
fuel systems. The OCT sensor is provides the outdoor coil
temperature and is used in determining defrost cycles.

To check either the outdoor air or outdoor coil temperature

Features

The new air handler control includes advanced diagnostic
features with fault recall, estimated CFM display via on­board LED, and ComfortNetTM ready. Diagnostics includes
heater kit selection diagnostics, open fuse, internal control
fault, data errors, and blower motor faults. Data errors are
not included in the fault recall list. Diagnostic error codes are
displayed on a single red LED.

The estimated CFM is displayed as a flashing green LED.
The LED flashes once for each 100 CFM.

The AVPTC/MBVC air handlers may be used in a fully
communicating ComfortNet system when matched with a
compatiable outdoor unit and the CTK0* thermostat. A fully
communicating system offers advanced setup and diagnos­tic features.

Basic Operation

The air handler control receives thermostat inputs either from
a standard 24VAC thermostat or the CTK0* ComfortNet
thermostat. For cooling and heat pump operation, the
control operates the variable speed blower motor at the
demand as determined from the thermostat input(s). If a
demand for electric heat is received, the control will provide
a 24VAC output for up to two electric heat sequencers.

Troubleshooting

Motor Control Circuits

1. Disconnect power to the air conditioner or heat pump.

2. Disconnect the sensor from the unitary (UC) control.

3. Connect an ohmmeter across the sensor terminals. The
ohmmeter should read be 10kΩ, +/-10%, at 75°F.
Replace the sensor if the sensor is open, shorted, or
outside the valid resistance range.

WARNING

Line Voltage now present.

Data Line Voltage Troubleshooting and Bias
Switches

Proper data voltage is essential to robust and reliable
communication on the ComfortNet™ system. Any wiring
issues must be corrected for good communication.

• Poor wiring connections at the terminal blocks

• Low voltage wires that are shorted, grounded or

broken.

• Communicating wires that are not connected to the
proper terminals at the connector.

• 24 volt common outside and inside are not at the
same ground potential

• Bias dip switch setting conflicts between indoor
board and outdoor board.

• It is STRONGLY recommended that you do not
connect multiple wires into a single terminal on the
wiring connector

• Wire nuts are recommended to connect multiple
wires to connector ensuring one wire is used for each
terminal.

• Failure to do so may result in intermittent operation.

• Typical 18 AWG thermostat wire may be used to wire

the system components. One hundred feet is the
maximum length of wire between indoor and outdoor
units or between indoor unit and thermostat.

• When outdoor transformer is used and there at least
three thermostat wires running to the outdoor unit
use one of the extra wires to connect the two 24 volt
commons together. This will ensure both 24 volt
commons are at the same ground potential.

• When outdoor transformer is used and there are only
two thermostat wires running to the outdoor unit
ground the 24 volt common “C” of the outdoor
transformer to a chassis ground (earth0 ground. This
is not as good as the third wire but it is better than
leaving the outdoor 24 volt common floating.

If this does not resolve communication issues Bias switch
issues will need to be checked.

Note: Only one unit should control bias on the system.

• Air Handler or Furnace should never have their bias
switches moved.

• Indoor bias switches are always in the “ON” position

• A/C and Heat Pump bias switches can be moved.

• Thermostats do not have bias switches.

• It may be necessary to move bias switches on the

outdoor unit to achieve proper bias. If the switches
need to be moved both switches must be moved.

Checking Bias Voltage:
Remove communicating wires from outdoor board and

thermostat and check voltage at the indoor board.

1. DC voltage from C to data 1 should read approxi­mately 1.9vdc or 2.8vdc for some furnaces. (Figure 1)

2. DC voltage from C to data 2 should read approxi­mately 1.3vdc. or 2.2vdc for some furnaces . (Figure

2)

3. Difference in voltage should be .6vdc.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

AVPTC/MBVC with ASXC/DSXC Condenser and CTK0*
Communicating Themostat

The AVPTC or MBVC air handle/modular blower matched
with an ASXC or DSXC condensing unit and CTK0* commu­nicating thermostat constitute a network. The three compo­nents, or subsystems, making up the system communicate
with one another with information passed between all three

components. This leads to a somewhat non-traditional
manner in which the system components receive commands
for system operation. All system commands are routed from
the component through the network to the appropriate desti­nation component.

NOTE: The individual subsystems will cease operation if the
request for operation is NOT refreshed after 5 minutes. This
is a built-in safe guard to prevent the possibility of runaway
operation.

1.0 Cooling Operation - Low and High Stage Cool

1.1 The CTK0* thermostat sends a request for low stage
cooling through the network to the unitary (UC) control in
the condenser. The UC control receives the command
and processes any compressor and fan delays.

1.2 The UC control sends a request for low stage fan speed
to the air handler/modular blower. The blower energizes
the ECM blower motor at the appropriate speed.

1.3 The condenser energizes the compressor and con­denser fan motor at the appropriate low stage speeds.

1.4 The system operates at low stage cooling.

1.5 If the thermostat demand cannot be met on low stage
cooling, the CTK0* thermostat sends a request for high
stage cooling to the condenser. The condenser in turn
sends a request for high stage fan speed to the air
handler/modular blower. The blower increases the blower
speed to the high stage cooling speed.

1.6 The condenser's unitary control energizes the high stage
compressor solenoid and switches the condenser fan
motor to high speed.

1.7 The system operates at high stage cooling.

1.8 Once the thermostat demand is satisfied, the CTK0*
thermostat commands the UC control to end cooling
operation. The condenser de-energizes the
compressorand condenser fan motor. The UC control
continues providing a fan request until any cooling blower
OFF delays have expired.

2.0 Heating Operation - Auxiliary/Emergency Heat

2.1 The CTK0* thermostat sends a request for emergency
heat to the air handler/modular blower.

2.2 The air handler control energizes the ECM blower motor
at the emergency heat speed. The electric heat se­quencer outputs are also energized, thus energizing the
electric heaters.

2.3 The system operates at emergency heat.

2.4 Once the thermostat demand is satisfied, the CTK0*
thermostat commands the air handler/modular blower to
end emergency heat operation. The air handler control
de-energizes the electric heat sequencer outputs. The
ECM blower motor remains energized until any blower
OFF delay timing has expired.

3.0 Continuous Fan Operation

3.1 With a demand for continuous fan operation, the CTK0*
thermostat sends a fan request to the integrated air

handler control along with a fan demand. The control
energizes the variavble speed ECM motor at fan demand
provided by the thermostat. The fan demand provided by
the thermostat will be 30%, 50%,or 70% of the air
handler's maximum airflow capability. The continuous
fan demand is set from the thermostat as low, medium,
or high.

3.2 If the thermostat demand for continuous fan is removed,
the CTK0* thermostat commands the integrated air
handler control to end continuous fan operation. The
integrated AH control immediately de-energizes the
ECM blower motor.

AVPTC/MBVC with ASZC/DSZC Heat Pump and CTK0*
Communicating Themostat

The AVPTC or MBVC air handle/modular blower matched
with an ASZC or DSZC condensing unit and CTK0* commu­nicating thermostat constitute a network. The three compo­nents, or subsystems, making up the system communicate
with one another with information passed between all three
components. This leads to a somewhat non-traditional
manner in which the system components receive commands
for system operation. All system commands are routed from
the component through the network to the appropriate desti­nation component.

NOTE: Communicating heat pump systems are designed to
utilize a balance point temperature. The balance point
temperature in part controls heat pump operation. If the
outdoor temperature is below the balance point, the heat
pump is disable and only electric heat is available for heating.
The balance point temperature is set via the CTK0* thermo­stat in the advanced installer's configuration menu.

The CTK0* thermostat also allows the user to disable the
electric heaters in the air handler/modular blower depending
on the outdoor temperature. The electric heaters are disabled
If the outdoor temperature is above the set point. All heating
is supplied by the heat pump.

The outdoor air temperature is aquired from the outdoor air
temperature (OAT) sensor included with the ASZC/DSZC
heat pump models. Faults with the sensor will affect heating
operation.

NOTE: The individual subsystems will cease operation if the
request for operation is NOT refreshed after 5 minutes. This
is a built-in safe guard to prevent the possibility of runaway
operation.

1.0 Cooling Operation - Low and High Stage Cool

1.1 The CTK0* thermostat sends a request for low stage
cooling through the network to the unitary (UC) control in
the heat pump. The UC control receives the command
and processes any compressor and fan delays.

1.2 The UC control sends a request for low stage fan speed
to the air handler/modular blower. The blower energizes
the ECM blower motor at the appropriate speed.

1.3 The heat pump energizes the compressor and condenser
fan motor at the appropriate low stage speeds. The
reversing valve is also energized.

1.4 The system operates at low stage cooling.

1.5 If the thermostat demand cannot be met on low stage
cooling, the CTK0* thermostat sends a request for high
stage cooling to the heat pump. The heat pump in turn
sends a request for high stage fan speed to the air
handler/modular blower. The AH control increases the
blower speed to the high stage cooling speed.

1.6 The heat pump's unitary control energizes the high stage
compressor solenoid and switches the condenser fan
motor to high speed. The reversing valve remains
energized.

1.7 The system operates at high stage cooling.

1.8 Once the thermostat demand is satisfied, the CTK0*
thermostat commands the UC control to end cooling
operation. The heat pump de-energizes the compressor,
condenser fan motor, and reversing valve. The UC control
continues providing a fan request until any cooling blower
OFF delays have expired.

2.0 Heating Operation

Outdoor Temperature Above the Heat Pump Balance
Point

2.1 The CTK0* thermostat sends a request for the outdoor air
temperature to the heat pump. The heat pump returns an
outdoor air temperature that is above the balance point
temperature. Heat pump heating is enabled.

2.2 The CTK0* thermostat sends a request for low stage heat
pump heating to the unitary (UC) control in the heat
pump. The UC control receives the command and
processes any compressor and fan delays.

2.3 The UC control sends a request for low stage fan speed
to the air handler/modular blower. The blower energizes
the ECM blower motor at the appropriate speed.

2.4 The condenser energizes the compressor and con­denser fan motor at the appropriate low stage speeds.

2.5 The system operates at low stage heat pump heating.

2.6 If the thermostat demand cannot be met on low stage
heat pump heating, the CTK0* thermostat sends a
request for high stage heat pump heating to the heat
pump. The heat pump in turn sends a request for high
stage fan speed to the air handler/modular blower. The
AH control increases the blower speed to the high stage
heat pump heating speed.

2.7 The heat pump's unitary control energizes the high stage
compressor solenoid and switches the condenser fan
motor to high speed.

2.8 The system operates at high stage heat pump heating.

2.9 If the thermostat demand cannot be met on high stage
heat pump heating, the CTK0* thermostat sends a
request for auxiliary heat to the air handler/modular
blower.

2.10 Upon receiving a demand for auxiliary heat, the air
handler control determines the appropriate airflow for
high stage heat pump + auxiliary heat operation and
operates the ECM blower motor at that airflow demand.

79

SERVICING

The air handler control determines which airflow demand
is greatest and applies that demand when operating the
ECM blower motor.

2.11 The system operates at high stage heat pump heating
plus auxiliary heat.

2.12 Once the thermostat demand is satisfied, the CTK0*
thermostat commands the heat pump to end heat pump
heating operation. The compressor and outdoor fan
motor are de-energized.

The air handler/modular blower is commanded to end

auxiliary heat operation. The air handler control de­energizes the electric heat sequencer outputs. The ECM
blower motor remains energized until any blower OFF
delay timing has expired.

Outdoor Temperature Below the Heat Pump Balance
Point

2.1 The CTK0*** thermostat sends a request for the outdoor
air temperature to the heat pump. The heat pump returns
an outdoor air temperature that is below the balance point
temperature. Heat pump heating is disabled.

2.2 The CTK0*** thermostat sends a request for auxiliary
heat to the air handler/modular blower.

2.2 The air handler control energizes the ECM blower motor
at the auxiliary heat speed. The electric heat sequencer
outputs are also energized, thus energizing the electric
heaters.

2.3 The system operates at auxiliary heat.

2.4 Once the thermostat demand is satisfied, the CTK0*
thermostat commands the air handler/modular blower to
end auxiliary heat operation. The air handler control de­energizes the electric heat sequencer outputs. The ECM
blower motor remains energized until any blower OFF
delay timing has expired.

3.0 Continuous Fan Operation

3.1 With a demand for continuous fan operation, the CTK0*
thermostat sends a fan request to the integrated air
handler control along with a fan demand. The

3.2 If the thermostat demand for continuous fan is removed,
the CTK0* thermostat commands the integrated air
handler control to end continuous fan operation. The
integrated AH control immediately de-energizes the
ECM blower motor.

4.0 Defrost Operation

4.1 While the system is operating in heat pump heating (see

2.0 Heating Operation), the control in the outdoor unit
may determines that a defrost cycle is needed. Upon
determing that a defrost cycle is needed, the UC control
de-energizes the condensor fan motor and energizes the
reversing valve.

4.2 The compressor may be de-energized for a short delay
during the reversing valve shift. (The delay period is
adjustable via the CTK0* thermostat. The compressor
delay is intended to eliminate compressor noise during
the reversing valve shift.) The compressor will energize
(or re-energize) at high stage.

4.3 The UC control sends a request for defrost operation to
the integrated air handler control. The air handler control
energizes the electric heat sequencer outputs and oper­ates the ECM blower model at the electric heat speed.

4.4 Once the defrost cycle is terminated, the heat pump
commands the air handler/modular blower to end defrost
operation.

4.5 The system returns to heat pump heating operation that
was in effect prior to the defrost cycle.

5.0 Emergency Heat Operation

5.1 The CTK0* thermostat sends a request for emergency
heat to the air handler/modular blower.

5.2 The air handler control energizes the ECM blower motor
at the emergency heat speed. The electric heat se­quencer outputs are also energized, thus energizing the
electric heaters.

5.3 The system operates at emergency heat.

5.4 Once the thermostat demand is satisfied, the CTK0*
thermostat commands the air handler/modular blower to
end emergency heat operation. The air handler control
de-energizes the electric heat sequencer outputs. The
ECM blower motor remains energized until any blower
OFF delay timing has expired. energizes the variavble
speed ECM motor at fan demand provided by the thermo­stat. The fan demand provided by the thermostat will be

EXAMPLE: Five (5) heaters provide 24.0 KW at the rated
240V. Our actual measured voltage is 220V, and our
measured temperature rise is 42°F. Find the actual CFM:

Answer: 24.0KW, 42°F Rise, 240 V = 1800 CFM from the
TEMPERATURE RISE chart on the right.

Heating output at 220 V = 24.0KW x 3.413 x .84 = 68.8

S-61A CHECKING HEATER LIMIT CONTROL(S)

Each individual heater element is protected with a limit
control device 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.

HIGH VOLT AGE!
Disconnect ALL power before servicing
or installing. Multiple power sources
may be present. Failure to do so may
cause property damage, personal injury
or death.

1. Remove the wiring from the control terminals.

2. Using an ohmmeter, test for continuity across the nor­mally closed contacts. No reading indicates the control
is open - replace if necessary.

IF FOUND OPEN - REPLACE - DO NOT WIRE AROUND.

S-61B CHECKING HEATER FUSE LINK

(OPTIONAL ELECTRIC HEATERS)

Each individual heater element is protected with a one time
fuse link which is connected in series with the element. The
fuse link will open at approximately 333°.

WARNING

Disconnect ALL power before servicing.

1. Remove heater element assembly so as to expose fuse
link.

2. Using an ohmmeter, test across the fuse link for continu­ity - no reading indicates the link is open. Replace as
necessary.

NOTE: The link is designed to open at approximately 333°F.
DO NOT WIRE AROUND - determine reason for failure.

S-62 CHECKING HEATER ELEMENTS

WARNING

Disconnect ALL power before servicing.

1. Disassemble and remove the heating element.

2. Visually inspect the heater assembly for any breaks in
the wire or broken insulators.

3. Using an ohmmeter, test the element for continuity - no
reading indicates the element is open. Replace as
necessary.

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:

HIGH VOLT AGE!
Disconnect ALL power before servicing
or installing. Multiple power sources
may be present. Failure to do so may
cause property damage, personal injury
or death.

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

IMPORTANT NOTE: Torch heat required to braze tubes of
various sizes is proportional to the size of the tube. Tubes of
smaller size require less heat to bring the tube to brazing
temperature before adding brazing alloy. Applying too much
heat to any tube can melt the tube. Service personnel must
use the appropriate heat level for the size of the tube being
brazed.

NOTE: The use of a heat shield when brazing is recommended
to avoid burning the serial plate or the finish on the unit. Heat
trap or wet rags should be used to protect heat sensitive
components such as service valves and TXV valves.
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-101 LEAK TESTING (NITROGEN OR NITRO-

GEN-TRACED)

WARNING

To avoid the risk of fire or explosion, never use
oxygen, high pressure air or flammable gases for leak
testing of a refrigeration system.

WARNING

To avoid possible explosion, the line from the
nitrogen cylinder m ust include a pressure regulator
and a pressure relief valve. The pressure relief valve
must be set to open at no more than 150 psig.

Pressure test the system using dry nitrogen and soapy water
to locate leaks. If you wish to use a leak detector, charge the
system to 10 psi using the appropriate refrigerant then use
nitrogen to finish charging the system to working pressure,
then apply the detector to suspect areas. If leaks are found,
repair them. After repair, repeat the pressure test. If no leaks
exist, proceed to system evacuation.

S-102 EVACUATION

WARNING

REFRIGERA NT U NDER PR ESSUR E!
Failure to follow proper procedures may cause
property damage, pe rsonal injury or death.

a vacuum gauge to give a true reading of the vacuum in the
system.

NOTE: Never use the Scroll compressor as a vacuum pump
or run when under a high vacuum. Motor damage could occur.

Condensing unit liquid and suction valves are closed to
contain the charge within the unit. The unit is shipped with the
valve stems closed and caps installed. Do not open valves

until the system is evacuated.

1. Connect the vacuum pump with 250 micron capabil­ity to the service valves.

2. Evacuate the system to 250 microns or less using
suction and liquid service valves. Using both valves
is necessary as some compressors create a me­chanical seal separating the sides of the system.

3. Close pump valve and hold vacuum for 10 minutes.
Typically pressure will rise during this period.

4. If the pressure rises to 1000 microns or less and
remains steady the system is considered leak free;
proceed to startup.

5. If pressure rises above 1000 microns but holds
steady below 2000 microns, moisture and/or non­condensibles may be present or the system may
have a small leak.

6. Return to step 2: If the same result is encountered
check for leaks as previously indicated and repair
as necessary then repeat evacuation.

7. If pressure rises above 2000 microns, a leak is
present. Check for leaks as previously indicated and
repair as necessary then repeat evacuation.

WARNING

Do not front seat the service valve(s) with the
compressor open, with the suction line of the
comprssor closed or severely restricted.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Because of the potential damage to
compressors, do not allow suction pressure at service valve
to drop below 20 PSIG when pumping unit system down for
repair. Outdoor section, depending on line set length and
amount of charge in system, may not be able to hold the
entire system charge.

This is the most important part of the entire service procedure.
The life and efficiency of the equipment is dependent upon the
thoroughness exercised by the serviceman when evacuating
air (non-condensables) and moisture from the system. Air in
a system causes high condensing temperature and pres­sure, resulting in increased power input and reduced perfor­mance. Moisture chemically reacts with the refrigerant oil to
form corrosive acids. These acids attack motor windings and
parts, causing breakdown. The equipment required to thor­oughly evacuate the system is a high vacuum pump, capable
of producing a vacuum equivalent to 250 microns or less and

Failure to follow proper procedures may cause
property damage, personal injury or death.

CAUTION

Use refrigerant certified to AHRI standards. Used
refrigera nt may cause compressor da mage and is

closed is not covered by the warranty and will cause
serious compressor damage.

Charge the system with the exact amount of refrigerant. Refer
to the specification section or check the unit nameplates for
the correct refrigerant charge. An inaccurately charged sys­tem will cause future problems.

NOTE: R410A should be drawn out of the storage container
or drum in liquid form due to its fractionation properties, but
should be “Flashed” to its gas state before entering the
system. There is commercially available restriction devices
that fit into the system charging hose set to accomplish this.

DO NOT charge liquid R410A into the compressor.

NOTE: Power must be supplied to the 18 SEER outdoor units
containing ECM motors before the power is applied to the
indoor unit. Sending a low voltage signal without high voltage
power present at the outdoor unit can cause malfunction of
the control module on the ECM motor.

Adequate refrigerant charge for the matching evaporator coil
or air handler and 15 feet of line set is supplied with the
condensing unit. If using evaporator coils or air handlers other
than HSVTC coil it may be necessary to add or remove
refrigerant to attain proper charge. If line set exceeds 15 feet
in length, refrigerant should be added at .6 ounces per foot of
liquid line.

NOTE: The outdoor temperature should be 60°F or higher
when charging the unit.Charge should always be checked
using subcooling when using TXV equipped indoor coil to
verify proper charge. Open the suction service valve first!
If the liquid service valve is opened first, oil from the compres­sor may be drawn into the indoor coil TXV, restricting
refrigerant flow and affecting operation of the system.

When opening valves with retainers, open each valve only
until the top of the stem is 1/8" from the retainer. To avoid loss
of refrigerant, DO NOT apply pressure to the retainer. When
opening valves without a retainer remove service valve cap and
insert a hex wrench into the valve stem and back out the stem
by turning the hex wrench counterclockwise. Open the valve
until it contacts the rolled lip of the valve body.

NOTE: These are not back-seating valves. It is not necessary
to force the stem tightly against the rolled lip.

After the refrigerant charge has bled into the system, open the
liquid service valve. The service valve cap is the secondary
seal for the valve and must be properly tightened to prevent
leaks. Make sure cap is clean and apply refrigerant oil to
threads and sealing surface on inside of cap. Tighten cap
finger-tight and then tighten additional 1/6 of a turn (1 wrench
flat) to properly seat the sealing surfaces.

EXPANSION VALVE SYSTEM

NOTE: Units matched with indoor coils equipped with non-

adjustable TXV should be charged by subcooling only.
NOTE: The TXV should NOT be adjusted at light load

conditions 55º to 60ºF. Use the following guidelines and
methods to check unit operation and ensure that the refriger­ant charge is within limits. Charge the unit on low stage.

Units Equipped with Adjustable Expansion
Valves should be charged by Subcooling and
Superheat adjusted only if necessary.

1. Purge gauge lines. Connect service gauge manifold to
base-valve service ports. Run the system in low stage at least
10 minutes to allow pressure to stabilize.

2. Temporarily install a thermometer on the liquid line at the
liquid line service valve and 4-6" from the compressor on the
suction line. Ensure the thermometer makes adequate con­tact and is insulated for best possible readings. Use liquid line
temperature to determine subcooling and vapor temperature
to determine superheat.

3. Check subcooling and superheat. Systems with TXV
application should have a subcooling of 5 to 7°F and super­heat of 7 to 9 °F.

a. If subcooling and superheat are low, adjust TXV to 7 to

9 ºF superheat, and then check subcooling.

NOTE: To adjust superheat, turn the valve stem clockwise to
increase and counter clockwise to decrease.

b. If subcooling is low and superheat is high, add charge

to raise subcooling to 5 to 7 °F then check superheat.

c. If subcooling and superheat are high, adjust TXV valve

to 7 to 9 ºF superheat, then check subcooling.

d. If subcooling is high and superheat is low, adjust TXV

valve to 7 to 9 ºF superheat and remove charge to lower
the subcooling to 5 to 7 ºF.

84

SERVICING

NOTE: Do NOT adjust the charge based on suction

pressure unless there is a gross undercharge.

4. Disconnect manifold set, installation is complete.
SUBCOOLING FORMULA = SATURATED LIQUID

TEMP. - LIQUID LINE TEMP.
NOTE: Check the Schrader ports for leaks and

tighten valve cores if necessary. Install caps finger­tight.

HEAT PUMP - HEATING CYCLE

The proper method of charging a heat pump in the heat mode
is by weight with the additional charge adjustments for line
size, line length, and other system components. For best
results on outdoor units with TXVs, superheat should be 2­5°F at 4-6" from the compressor. Make final charge adjust­ments in the cooling cycle.

S-104 CHECKING COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY

The reason for compressor inefficiency is broken or damaged
scroll flanks on Scroll compressors, reducing the ability of the
compressor to pump refrigerant vapor.

The condition of the scroll flanks is checked in the following
manner.

1. Attach gauges to the high and low side of the system.

2. Start the system and run a "Cooling Performance Test.
If the test shows:
a. Below normal high side pressure.
b. Above normal low side pressure.
c. Low temperature difference across coil.
d. Low amp draw at compressor.

And the charge is correct. The compressor is faulty - replace
the compressor.

S-106 OVERFEEDING

Overfeeding by the expansion valve results in high suction
pressure, cold suction line, and possible liquid slugging of the
compressor.

If these symptoms are observed:

1. Check for an overcharged unit by referring to the cooling
performance charts in the servicing section.

2. Check the operation of the power element in the valve as
explained in S-110 Checking Expansion Valve Operation.

3. Check for restricted or plugged equalizer tube.

S-107 UNDERFEEDING

Underfeeding by the expansion valve results in low system
capacity and low suction pressures.

If these symptoms are observed:

1. Check for a restricted liquid line or drier. A restriction will
be indicated by a temperature drop across the drier.

2. Check the operation of the power element of the valve as
described in S-110 Checking Expansion Valve Operation.

S-108 SUPERHEAT

The expansion valves are factory adjusted to maintain 7 to 9
degrees superheat of the suction gas. Before checking the
superheat or replacing the valve, perform all the procedures
outlined under Air Flow, Refrigerant Charge, Expansion Valve

- Overfeeding, Underfeeding. These are the most common
causes for evaporator malfunction.

CHECKING SUPERHEAT

Refrigerant gas is considered superheated when its tempera­ture is higher than the saturation temperature corresponding
to its pressure. The degree of superheat equals the degrees
of temperature increase above the saturation temperature at
existing pressure. See Temperature - Pressure Chart on
following pages.

CAUTION

To prevent personal injury, carefully connect and
disconnect manifold gauge hoses. Escaping liquid
refrigerant can cause burns. Do not vent refrigerant
to atmosp here. Recover during system repair
or final unit disposal.

1. Run system at least 10 minutes to allow pressure to
stabilize.

2. For best results, temporarily install a thermometer on the
liquid line at the liquid line service valve and 4-6" from the
compressor on the suction line. Ensure the thermometer
makes adequate contact and is insulated for best pos­sible readings. Use liquid line temperature to determine
sub-cooling and vapor temperature to determine super­heat.

NOTE: An optional method is to locate the thermometer
at the suction line service valve. Ensure the thermometer
makes adequate contact and is insulated for best
possible readings.

3. Refer to the superheat table provided for proper system
superheat. Add charge to lower superheat or recover
charge to raise superheat.

Superheat Formula = Suct. Line Temp. - Sat. Suct. Temp.

EXAMPLE:

a. Suction Pressure = 143
b. Corresponding Temp. °F. = 50
c. Thermometer on Suction Line = 61°F.

To obtain the degrees temperature of superheat, subtract

50.0 from 61.0°F.
The difference is 11° Superheat. The 11° Superheat would fall

in the ± range of allowable superheat.

S-109 CHECKING SUBCOOLING

Refrigerant liquid is considered subcooled when its temperature is
lower than the saturation temperature corresponding to its pressure.
The degree of subcooling equals the degrees of temperature
decrease below the saturation temperature at the existing pressure.

85

SERVICING

1. Attach an accurate thermometer or preferably a thermo­couple type temperature tester to the liquid line as it
leaves the condensing unit.

2. Install a high side pressure gauge on the high side (liquid)
service valve at the front of the unit.

3. Record the gauge pressure and the temperature of the
line.

4. Review the technical information manual or specification
sheet for the model being serviced to obtain the design
subcooling.

5. Compare the hi-pressure reading to the "Required Liquid
Line Temperature" chart (page 108). Find the hi-pressure
value on the left column. Follow that line right to the
column under the design subcooling value. Where the two
intersect is the required liquid line temperature.

Alternately you can convert the liquid line pressure gauge
reading to temperature by finding the gauge reading in
Temperature - Pressure Chart and reading to the left, find
the temperature in the °F. Column.

6. The difference between the thermometer reading and
pressure to temperature conversion is the amount of
subcooling.

Add charge to raise subcooling. Recover charge to lower
subcooling.

Subcooling Formula = Sat. Liquid Temp. - Liquid Line
Temp.

EXAMPLE:

a. Liquid Line Pressure = 417
b. Corresponding Temp. °F. = 120°
c. Thermometer on Liquid line = 109°F.

To obtain the amount of subcooling subtract 109°F from
120°F.

The difference is 11° subcooling. See the specification sheet
or technical information manual for the design subcooling
range for your unit.

S-110 CHECKING EXPANSION VALVE OPERA-

TION

1. Remove the remote bulb of the expansion valve from the
suction line.

2. Start the system and cool the bulb in a container of ice
water, closing the valve. As you cool the bulb, the suction
pressure should fall and the suction temperature will rise.

3. Next warm the bulb in your hand. As you warm the bulb,
the suction pressure should rise and the suction tempera­ture will fall.

4. If a temperature or pressure change is noticed, the
expansion valve is operating. If no change is noticed, the
valve is restricted, the power element is faulty, or the
equalizer tube is plugged.

5. Capture the charge, replace the valve and drier, evacuate
and recharge.

S-112 CHECKING RESTRICTED LIQUID LINE

When the system is operating, the liquid line is warm to the
touch. If the liquid line is restricted, a definite temperature
drop will be noticed at the point of restriction. In severe cases,
frost will form at the restriction and extend down the line in the
direction of the flow.

Discharge and suction pressures will be low, giving the
appearance of an undercharged unit. However, the unit will
have normal to high subcooling.

Locate the restriction, replace the restricted part, replace
drier, evacuate and recharge.

S-113 OVERCHARGE OF REFRIGERANT

An overcharge of refrigerant is normally indicated by an
excessively high head pressure.

An evaporator coil, using an expansion valve metering device,
will basically modulate and control a flooded evaporator and
prevent liquid return to the compressor.

An evaporator coil, using a capillary tube metering device,
could allow refrigerant to return to the compressor under
extreme overcharge conditions. Also with a capillary tube
metering device, extreme cases of insufficient indoor air can
cause icing of the indoor coil and liquid return to the compres­sor, but the head pressure would be lower.

There are other causes for high head pressure which may be
found in the "Service Problem Analysis Guide."

If other causes check out normal, an overcharge or a system
containing non-condensables would be indicated.

If this system is observed:

1. Start the system.

2. Remove and capture small quantities of gas from the
suction line dill valve until the head pressure is reduced to
normal.

3. Observe the system while running a cooling performance
test. If a shortage of refrigerant is indicated, then the
system contains non-condensables.

S-114 NON-CONDENSABLES

If non-condensables are suspected, shut down the system
and allow the pressures to equalize. Wait at least 15
minutes. Compare the pressure to the temperature of the
coldest coil since this is where most of the refrigerant will be.
If the pressure indicates a higher temperature than that of the
coil temperature, non-condensables are present.

Non-condensables are removed from the system by first
removing the refrigerant charge, replacing and/or installing
liquid line drier, evacuating and recharging.

SERVICING

CHECKING COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY

The reason for compressor inefficiency is broken or damaged
scroll flanks on Scroll compressors, reducing the ability of the
compressor to pump refrigerant vapor. The condition of the
scroll flanks is checked in the following manner.

1. Attach gauges to the high and low side of the system.

2. Start the system and run a “Cooling Performance Test. If
the test shows:

a. Below normal high side pressure.
b. Above normal low side pressure.
c. Low temperature difference across coil.
d. Low amp draw at compressor.
And the charge is correct. The compressor is faulty

– replace the compressor.

S-115 COMPRESSOR BURNOUT

When a compressor burns out, high temperature develops
causing the refrigerant, oil and motor insulation to decom­pose forming acids and sludge.

If a compressor is suspected of being burned-out, attach a
refrigerant hose to the liquid line dill valve and properly remove
and dispose of the refrigerant.

NOTICE

Violation of EPA regulations may result in fines
or other penalties.

Now determine if a burn out has actually occurred. Confirm
by analyzing an oil sample using a Sporlan Acid Test Kit, AK­3 or its equivalent.

Remove the compressor and obtain an oil sample from the
suction stub. If the oil is not acidic, either a burnout has not
occurred or the burnout is so mild that a complete clean-up
is not necessary.

If acid level is unacceptable, the system must be cleaned by
using the clean-up drier method.

CAUTION

Do no t allow th e slud ge o r oil to co ntac t the skin .
Severe bu rns may result.

NOTE: The Flushing Method using R-11 refrigerant is no

longer approved by Amana® Brand Heating-Cooling.

Suction Line Drier Clean-Up Method

The POE oils used with R410A refrigerant is an excellent
solvent. In the case of a burnout, the POE oils will remove any
burnout residue left in the system. If not captured by the
refrigerant filter, they will collect in the compressor or other
system components, causing a failure of the replacement
compressor and/or spread contaminants throughout the
system, damaging additional components.

Install a field supplied suction line drier. This drier should be
installed as close to the compressor suction fitting as
possible. The filter must be accessible and be rechecked for
pressure drop after the system has operated for a time. It may
be necessary to use new tubing and form as required.

NOTE: At least twelve (12) inches of the suction line
immediately out of the compressor stub must be discarded
due to burned residue and contaminates.

1. Remove compressor discharge line strainer.

2. Remove the liquid line drier and expansion valve.
3 Purge all remaining components with dry nitrogen or

carbon dioxide until clean.

4. Install new components including liquid line drier.

5. Braze all joints, leak test, evacuate, and recharge sys­tem.

6. Start up the unit and record the pressure drop across the
drier.

7. Continue to run the system for a minimum of twelve (12)
hours and recheck the pressure drop across the drier.
Pressure drop should not exceed 6 PSIG.

8. Continue to run the system for several days, repeatedly
checking pressure drop across the suction line drier. If
the pressure drop never exceeds the 6 PSIG, the drier has
trapped the contaminants. Remove the suction line drier
from the system.

9. If the pressure drop becomes greater, then it must be
replaced and steps 5 through 9 repeated until it does not
exceed 6 PSIG.

NOTICE: Regardless, the cause for burnout must be deter­mined and corrected before the new compressor is started.

S-120 REFRIGERANT PIPING

The piping of a refrigeration system is very important in
relation to system capacity, proper oil return to compressor,
pumping rate of compressor and cooling performance of the
evaporator.

POE oils maintain a consistent viscosity over a large tem­perature range which aids in the oil return to the compressor;
however, there will be some installations which require oil
return traps. These installations should be avoided whenever
possible, as adding oil traps to the refrigerant lines also
increases the opportunity for debris and moisture to be
introduced into the system. Avoid long running traps in
horizontal suction line.

ALUMINUM INDOOR COIL CLEANING
(Qualified Servicer Only)

This unit is equipped with an aluminum tube evaporator coil.
The safest way to clean the evaporator coil is to simply flush
the coil with water. This cleaning practice remains as the
recommended cleaning method for both copper tube and
aluminum tube residential cooling coils.

An alternate cleaning method is to use one of the products
listed in the technical publication TP-109 (shipped in the
literature bag with the unit) to clean the coils. The cleaners
listed are the only agents deemed safe and approved for use
to clean round tube aluminum coils. TP-109 is available on the
web site in Partner Link > Service Toolkit.

NOTE: Ensure coils are rinsed well after use of any chemical
cleaners.

Air Handler Static Pressure Readings

S-203 SINGLE PIECE AIR HANDLER EXTERNAL

STATIC PRESSURE

To determine proper airflow, proceed as follows:

1. Using a Inclined Manometer or Magnehelic gauge ,
measure the static pressure of the return duct at the inlet of
the air handler, this will be a negative pressure ( for example

-.30"wc)

2. Measure the static pressure of the supply duct at the outlet
of the air handler, this should be a positive pressure (for
example .20"wc).

3. Add the two readings together (for example -.30"wc +
.20"wc = .50"wc total external static pressure.

NOTE: Both readings may be taken simultaneously and read
directly on the manometer if so desired.

4. Consult proper air handler airflow chart for quantity of air
(CFM) at the measured external static pressure.

S-203A TWO PIECE AIR HANDLER EXTERNAL

STATIC PRESSURE

To determine proper airflow, proceed as follows:

1. Using a Inclined Manometer or Magnehelic gauge, mea­sure the static pressure between the outlet of the evaporator
coil and the inlet of the air handler, this will be a negative
pressure ( for example -.30"wc)

2. Measure the static pressure of the supply duct at the outlet
of the unit, this should be a positive pressure (for example
.20"wc).

3. Add the two readings together (for example -.30"wc +
.20"wc = .50"wc total static pressure.

NOTE: Both readings may be taken simultaneously and read
directly on the manometer if so desired.

4. Consult proper air handler airflow chart for quantity of air
(CFM) at the measured external static pressure.
