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.
GSX, GSZ, ASX, ASZ, SSX, SSZ and DSX, DSZ models are
available in 1 1/2 through 5 ton sizes and use R-410A
refrigerant. They are designed for 208/230 volt single phase
applications.
ASX, ASZ, DSX and DSZ R-410A model units use the
Copeland Scroll "Ultratech" Series compressors which are
specifically designed for R-410A refrigerant. These units also
have Copeland
GSX, GSZ, SSX and SSZ R-410A model units use the
Copeland Scroll "Ultratech" Series compressors which are
specifically designed for R-410A refrigerant.
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.

COILS AND BLOWER COILS
MBR/MBE blower cabinets are designed to be used as a twopiece blower and coil combination. MBR/MBE blower sections can be attached to cased evaporator coil. This twopiece arrangement allows for a variety of mix-matching
possibilities providing greater flexibility. The MBE blower
cabinet uses a variable speed motor that maintains a constant airflow with a higher duct static.
It is approved for applications with cooling coils of up to 0.8
inches W.C. external static pressure and includes a feature
that allows airflow to be changed by +15%. The MBR blower
cabinet uses a PSC motor. It is approved for applications with
cooling coils of up to 0.5 inches W.C. external static pressure.
The MBR/MBE blower cabinets with proper coil matches can
be positioned for upflow, counterflow, horizontal right or
horizontal left operation. 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.
The CAPX/CHPX coils are equipped with a thermostatic
expansion valve that has a built-in internal check valve for
refrigerant metering. The CACF/CAPF/CHPF coils are
equipped with a fixed restrictor orifice.
The coils are designed for upflow, counterflow or horizontal
application, using two-speed direct drive motors on the
CACF/CAPF/CHPX models and BPM (Brushless Permanent
Magnet) or ECM motors on the MBE models.
25
PRODUCT DESIGN
The ASX [16 & 18], ASZ [16 & 18], DSX16 and DSZ16 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.
The ZPS/ZRS 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.
•Compliant Scroll compressors use white oil which is
compatible with 3GS. 3GS oil may be used if additional
oil is required.
•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.
26
PRODUCT DESIGN
CAPACITY CONTROL
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 B below. The unloaded mode
default was chosen for two reasons:
1. It is expected that the majority of run hours will be in the
low capacity, unloaded mode.
2. It allows a simple two-stage thermostat to control capacity through the second stage in both cooling and possibly
heating if desired.
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
assembly. This plug is connected to the Comfort Alert
Module which contains a full wave rectifier to supply direct
current to the unloader coil.

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.
The restrictor orifice used with the CA*F, CHPF and CH**FCB
coils will be forced onto a seat when running in the cooling
cycle, only allowing liquid refrigerant to pass through the
orifice opening. In the heating cycle, it will be forced off the
seat allowing liquid to flow around the restrictor. A check valve
is not required in this circuit.
COOLING CYCLE
When the contacts of the room thermostat close making
terminals R to Y & G, the low voltage circuit of the transformer
is completed. Current now flows through the magnetic holding coils of the compressor contactor (CC) and fan relay
(RFC).
This draws in the normally open contact CC, starting the
compressor and condenser fan motors. At the same time,
contacts RFC close, starting the indoor fan motor.
When the thermostat is satisfied, it opens its contacts,
breaking the low voltage circuit, causing the compressor
contactor and indoor fan relay to open, shutting down the
system.
If the room thermostat fan selector switch should be set on
the "on" position, then the indoor blower would run continuous
rather than cycling with the compressor.
GSZ, ASZ, SSZ and DSZ models energize the reversing valve
thorough the "O" circuit in the room thermostat. Therefore,
the reversing valve remains energized as long as the thermostat subbase is in the cooling position. The only exception to
this is during defrost.
28
SYSTEM OPERA TION
DEFROST CYCLE
The defrosting of the outdoor coil is jointly controlled by the
defrost control board and the defrost thermostat.
Solid State Defrost Control
During operation the power to the circuit board is controlled
by a temperature sensor, which is clamped to a feeder tube
entering the outdoor coil. Defrost timing periods of 30, 60, or
90 minutes may be selected by connecting the circuit board
jumper to 30, 60, or 90 respectively. Accumulation of time for
the timing period selected starts when the sensor closes
(approximately 31° F), and when the room thermostat calls
for heat. At the end of the timing period, the unit’s defrost
cycle will be initiated provided the sensor remains closed.
When the sensor opens (approximately 75° F), the defrost
cycle is terminated and the timing period is reset. If the
defrost cycle is not terminated due to the sensor temperature, a ten minute override interrupts the unit’s defrost period.

HEATING CYCLE
The reversing valve on the GSZ, SSZ, ASZ and DSZ models
is energized in the cooling cycle through the "O" terminal on
the room thermostat.
These models have a 24 volt reversing valve coil. When the
thermostat selector switch is set in the cooling position, the
"O" terminal on the thermostat is energized all the time.
Care must be taken when selecting a room thermostat. Refer

AFE18-60A CONTROL BOARD
DESCRIPTION
The AFE18 control is designed for use in heat pump applications where the indoor coil is located above/downstream of a
gas or fossil fuel furnace. It will operate with single and two
stage heat pumps and single and two stage furnaces. The
AFE18 control will turn the heat pump unit off when the
furnace is turned on. An anti-short cycle feature is also
incorporated which initiates a 3 minute timed off delay when
the compressor goes off. On initial power up or loss and
restoration of power, this 3 minute timed off delay will be
initiated. The compressor won’t be allowed to restart until the
3 minute off delay has expired. Also included is a 5 second
de-bounce feature on the “Y, E, W1 and O” thermostat inputs.
These thermostat inputs must be present for 5 seconds
before the AFE18 control will respond to it.
An optional outdoor thermostat, OT18-60A, can be used with
the AFE18 to switch from heat pump operation to furnace
operation below a specific ambient temperature setting, i.e.
break even temperature during heating. When used in this
manner, the “Y” heat demand is switched to the “W1” input
to the furnace by the outdoor thermostat and the furnace is
used to satisfy the first stage “Y” heat demand. On some
controls, if the outdoor thermostat fails closed in this position
during the heating season, it will turn on the furnace during
the cooling season on a “Y” cooling demand. In this
situation, the furnace produces heat and increases the
indoor temperature thereby never satisfying the cooling
demand. The furnace will continue to operate and can only
be stopped by switching the thermostat to the off position or
removing power to the unit and then replacing the outdoor
thermostat. When the AFE18 receives a “Y” and “O”inputfrom the indoor thermostat, it recognizes this as a
cooling demand in the cooling mode. If the outdoor thermostat is stuck in the closed position switching the “Y” demand
to the “W1” furnace input during the cooling mode as
described above, the AFE18 won’t allow the furnace to
operate. The outdoor thermostat will have to be replaced to
restore the unit to normal operation.

Locked Rotor Voltage is the actual voltage available at
the compressor during starting, locked rotor, or a stalled
condition. Measured voltage should be above minimum
listed in chart below.
To measure Locked Rotor Voltage attach a voltmeter to
the run "R" and common "C" terminals of the compressor,
or to the T1 and T2 terminals of the contactor. Start the unit
and allow the compressor to run for several seconds, then
shut down the unit. Immediately attempt to restart the
unit while measuring the Locked Rotor Voltage.
6. Lock 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.

S-11 CHECKING LOSS OF CHARGE PROTECTOR
(Heat Pump Models)
The loss of charge protector senses the pressure in the liquid
line and will open its contacts on a drop in pressure. The low
pressure control will automatically reset itself with a rise in
pressure.
The low pressure control is designed to cut-out (open) at
approximately 21 PSIG. It will automatically cut-in (close) at
approximately 50 PSIG.
Test for continuity using a VOM and if not as above, replace
the control.
S-12 CHECKING HIGH PRESSURE CONTROL
If it cuts-out at 610 PSIG ± 10 PSIG, it is operating normally
(See causes for high head pressure in Service Problem
Analysis Guide). If it cuts out below this pressure range,
replace the control.
HIGH VOL TAGE!
Disconnect ALL power before servicing
or installing. Multiple power sources
may be present. Failure to do so may

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

Test for continuity using a VOM and if not as above, replace
the control.
S-15 CHECKING CAPACITOR
CAPACITOR, RUN
A run capacitor is wired across the auxiliary and main
windings of a single phase permanent split capacitor motor.
The capacitors primary function is to reduce the line current
while greatly improving the torque characteristics of a motor.
This is accomplished by using the 90° phase relationship
between the capacitor current and voltage in conjunction with
the motor windings, so that the motor will give two phase
operation when connected to a single phase circuit. The
capacitor also reduces the line current to the motor by
improving the power factor.
The line side of this capacitor is marked with "COM" and is
wired to the line side of the circuit.
CAPACITOR, START
SCROLL COMPRESSOR MODELS
In most cases hard start components are not required on
Scroll compressor equipped units due to a non-replaceable
check valve located in the discharge line of the compressor.
However, in installations that encounter low lock rotor voltage, a hard start kit can improve starting characteristics and
reduce light dimming within the home. Only hard start kits
approved by Amana® brand or Copeland should be used.
"Kick Start" and/or "Super Boost" kits are not approved start
assist devices.
41
SERVICING
The discharge check valve closes off high side pressure to the
compressor after shut down allowing equalization through the
scroll flanks. Equalization requires only about ½ second.
To prevent the compressor from short cycling, a Time Delay
Relay (Cycle Protector) has been added to the low voltage
circuit.
RELAY, START
A potential or voltage type relay is used to take the start
capacitor out of the circuit once the motor comes up to speed.
This type of relay is position sensitive. The normally closed
contacts are wired in series with the start capacitor and the
relay holding coil is wired parallel with the start winding. As
the motor starts and comes up to speed, the increase in
voltage across the start winding will energize the start relay
holding coil and open the contacts to the start capacitor.
Two quick ways to test a capacitor are a resistance and a
capacitance check.

7. Check for signal (24 volts) from the thermostat to the "G"
terminal at the 16-pin connector.
8. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity from the #1 & #3
(common pins) to the transformer neutral or "C" thermostat terminal. If you do not have continuity, the motor may
function erratically. Trace the common circuits, locate
and repair the open neutral.
9. Set the thermostat to "Fan-On". Using a voltmeter, check
for 24 volts between pin # 15 (G) and common.
10.Disconnect power to compressor. Set thermostat to call

(ECM MOTORS)
An ECM is an Electronically Commutated Motor which offers
5
many significant advantages over PSC motors. The ECM has
near zero rotor loss, synchronous machine operation, variable speed, low noise, and programmable air flow. Because
of the sophisticated electronics within the ECM motor, some
OUT - OUT +
technicians are intimated by the ECM motor; however, these
fears are unfounded. GE offers two ECM motor testers, and
DJUST +/-
with a VOM meter, one can easily perform basic troubleshooting on ECM motors. An ECM motor requires power (line
Y1Y/Y2
voltage) and a signal (24 volts) to operate. The ECM motor
stator contains permanent magnet. As a result, the shaft
COOL
feels "rough" when turned by hand. This is a characteristic of
the motor, not an indication of defective bearings.

The MBE/AEPF products use a General Electric ECM
TM
motor. This motor provides many features not available on
the traditional PSC motor. These features include:
•Improved Efficiency
•Constant CFM
•Soft Start and Stop
•Improved Humidity Control
MOTOR SPEED ADJUSTMENT
Each ECM™ blower motor has been preprogrammed for
operation at 4 distinct airflow levels when operating in
Cooling/Heat Pump mode or Electric Heat mode. These 4
distinct levels may also be adjusted slightly lower or higher
if desired. The adjustment between levels and the trim
adjustments are made by changing the dipswitch(s) either
to an "OFF" or "ON" position.
DIPSWITCH FUNCTIONS
The MBE / AEPF air handler motors have an electronic
control that contains an eight (8) position dip switch. The
function of these dipswitches are shown in Table 1.

1. Using a voltmeter, check for 230 volts to the motor
connections L and N. If 230 volts is present, proceed to
step 2. If 230 volts is not present, check the line voltage
circuit to the motor.
2. Using a voltmeter, check for 24 volts from terminal C to
either terminal 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, depending on which tap is
being used, at the motor. If voltage present, proceed to
step 3. If no voltage, check 24 volt circuit to motor.
3. If voltage was present in steps 1 and 2, the motor has
failed and will need to be replaced.
Note: When replacing motor, ensure the belly band is
between the vents on the motor and the wiring has the
proper drip loop to prevent condensate from entering the
motor.

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 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 leads from the compressor terminals.
See warnings S-17 before removing compressor
terminal cover.
2. Using an ohmmeter, test continuity between terminals
S-R, C-R, and C-S, on single phase units or terminals T2,
T2 and T3, on 3 phase units.
C
OHMMETER
TESTING COMPRESSOR WINDINGS
If either winding does not test continuous, replace the
compressor.
NOTE: If an open compressor is indicated, allow ample time
for the internal overload to reset before replacing compressor.
S
COMP
R
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.
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 a Megger, Hi-Potential
Ground Tester, or other suitable instrument which puts
out a voltage between 300 and 1500 volts, check for a
ground separately between each of the three leads and
ground (such as an unpainted tube on the compressor).
49
SERVICING
Do not use a low voltage output instrument such as a voltohmmeter.
HI-POT
COMPRESSOR GROUND TEST
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.
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.
Carefully retest for ground, directly between compressor
terminals and ground.
5. If ground is indicated, replace the compressor.
S-17C UNLOADER TEST PROCEDURE
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
assembly. This plug contains a full wave rectifier to supply
direct current to the unloader coil.
1. Operate the system and measure compressor current.
Cycle the unloader ON and OFF at 10 second intervals.
The compressor amperage should go up or down at least
25 percent.
2. If step one does not give the expected results, shut unit
off. Apply 18 to 28 volt ac to the unloader molded plug
leads and listen for a click as the solenoid pulls in.
Remove power and listen for another click as the unloader
returns to its original position.
3. If clicks can’t be heard, shut off power and remove the
control circuit molded plug from the compressor and
measure the unloader coil resistance. The resistance
should be 32 to 60 ohms, depending on compressor
temperature.
4. Next check the molded plug.
A.Voltage check: Apply control voltage to the plug
wires (18 to 28 volt ac). The measured dc voltage
at the female connectors in the plug should be
around 15 to 27 vdc.
B.Resistance check: Measure the resistance from
the end of one molded plug lead to either of the two
female connectors in the plug. One of the connectors should read close to zero ohms while the
other should read infinity. Repeat with other wire.
The same female connector as before should read
zero while the other connector again reads infinity. Reverse polarity on the ohmmeter leads and
repeat. The female connector that read infinity
previously should now read close to zero ohms.
C.Replace plug if either of these test methods
doesn’t show the desired results.
S-17D OPERATION TEST
If the voltage, capacitor, overload and motor winding test fail
to show the cause for failure:

1. Remove unit wiring from disconnect switch and wire a
test cord to the disconnect switch.
NOTE: The wire size of the test cord must equal the line wire
size and the fuse must be of the proper size and type.
2. With the protective terminal cover in place, use the three
leads to the compressor terminals that were disconnected at the nearest point to the compressor and
connect the common, start and run clips to the respective leads.

Disconnect ALL power before servicing.
1. Disconnect the heater lead in wires.
2. Using an ohmmeter, check heater continuity - should
test continuous. If not, replace.
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.
MONTH
WARNING
SERIAL
NUMBER
PLANT
If the valve fails to change its position, test the voltage (24V)
at the valve coil terminals, while the system is on the
COOLING cycle.
If no voltage is registered at the coil terminals, check the
operation of the thermostat and the continuity of the connecting wiring from the "O" terminal of the thermostat to the
unit.
If voltage is registered at the coil, tap the valve body lightly
while switching the system from HEATING to COOLING,
etc. If this fails to cause the valve to switch positions, remove
the coil connector cap and test the continuity of the reversing
valve solenoid coil. If the coil does not test continuous replace it.
If the coil test continuous and 24 volts is present at the coil
terminals, the valve is inoperative - replace it.
S-24 TESTING DEFROST CONTROL
To check the defrost control for proper sequencing, proceed
as follows: With power ON; unit not running.
1. Jumper defrost thermostat by placing a jumper wire
across the terminals "DFT" and "R" at defrost control
board.
2. Connect jumper across test pins on defrost control
board.
3. Set thermostat to call for heating. System should go into
defrost within 21 seconds.
4. Immediately remove jumper from test pins.
5. Using VOM check for voltage across terminals "C & O".
Meter should read 24 volts.
6. Using VOM check for voltage across fan terminals DF1
and DF2 on the board. You should read line voltage (208230 VAC) indicating the relay is open in the defrost
mode.
7. Using VOM check for voltage across "W2 & C" terminals
on the board. You should read 24 volts.
8. If not as above, replace control board.
9. Set thermostat to off position and disconnect power
before removing any jumpers or wires.
NOTE: Remove jumper across defrost thermostat before
returning system to service.
S-25 TESTING DEFROST THERMOSTAT
1. Install a thermocouple type temperature test lead on the
tube adjacent to the defrost control. Insulate the lead
point of contact.
2. Check the temperature at which the control closes its
contacts by lowering the temperature of the control. Part
# 0130M00009P which is used on 2 and 2.5 ton units
should close at 34°F ± 5°F. Part # 0130M00001P which
is used on 3 thru 5 ton units should close at 31°F ± 3°F.

SERVICING
3. Check the temperature at which the control opens its
contacts by raising the temperature of the control. Part
# 0130M00009P which is used on 2 and 2.5 ton units
should open at 60°F ± 5°F. Part # 0130M00001P which
is used on 3 thru 5 ton units should open at 75°F ± 6°F.
4. If not as above, replace control.
S-26 CHECKING HEATER LIMIT CONTROL(S)
(OPTIONAL ELECTRIC HEATERS)
Each individual heater element is protected with an automatic rest limit control connected in series with each element to prevent overheating of components in case of low
airflow. This limit control will open its circuit at approximately
150°F. to 160°F and close at approximately 110°F.
WARNING
Disconnect ALL power before servicing.
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. Make sure the limits are
cool before testing.
IF FOUND OPEN - REPLACE - DO NOT WIRE AROUND.
S-27 CHECKING HEATER ELEMENTS
Optional electric heaters may be added, in the quantities
shown in the spec sheet for each model unit, to provide
electric resistance heating. Under no condition shall more
heaters than the quantity shown be installed.
During a cooling or heat pump heating demand, 24Vac is
supplied to terminal “G” of the EBTDR to turn on the blower
motor. The EBTDR initiates a 7 second delay on and then
energizes it’s onboard relay. The relay on the EBTDR board
closes it’s normally open contacts and supplies power to the
blower motor. When the “G” input is removed, the EBTDR
initiates a 65 second delay off. When the 65 seconds delay
expires the onboard relay is de-energized and it’s contacts
open and remove power from the blower motor.
During an electric heat only demand, “W1” is energized but
“G” is not. The blower motor is connected to the normally
closed contacts of the relay on the EBTDR board. The other
side of this set of contacts is connected to the heat
sequencer on the heater assembly that provides power to
the first heater element. When “W1” is energized, the
sequencer will close it’s contacts within 10 to 20 seconds
to supply power to the first heater element and to the blower
motor through the normally closed contacts on the relay on
the EBTDR. When the “W1” demand is removed, the
sequencer opens it contacts within 30 to 70 seconds and
removes power from the heater element and the blower
motor.
The EBTDR also contains a speedup terminal to reduce the
delays during troubleshooting of the unit. When this
terminal is shorted to the common terminal, “C”, on the
EBTDR board, the delay ON time is reduced to 3 seconds
and the delay OFF time is reduced to 5 second.
Two additional terminals, M1 and M2, are on the EBTDR
board. These terminals are used to connect the unused
leads from the blower motor and have no affect on the board’s
operation.
HIGH VOLTAGE!
Discon nect ALL power befo r e serv icin g
or installing. Multiple power sources
may be present. Failure to do so may
cause pr o perty dam age, pe rson al inju ry
or death.
1. Disassemble and remove the heating element(s).
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.

4.0 Heating Operation
On heat pump units, when the room thermostat set to the
heating mode, the reversing valve is not energized. As long
as the thermostat is set for heating, the reversing valve will
be in the de-energized position for heating except during a
defrost cycle. Some installations may use one or more
outdoor thermostats to restrict the amount of electric heat
that is available above a preset ambient temperature. Use of
optional controls such as these can change the operation of
the electric heaters during the heating mode. This sequence
of operation does not cover those applications.
4.1 On a demand for first stage heat with heat pump units,
the room thermostat energizes “G” and “Y” and 24Vac is
supplied to “Y” at the heat pump unit and the “G” terminal
on the EBTDR board. The heat pump is turned on in the
heating mode and the blower motor starts after a 7
second on delay.
4.2 If the first stage heat demand cannot be satisfied by the
heat pump, the temperature indoors will continue to
drop. The room thermostat will then energize terminal
“W2’ for second stage heat and 24Vac will be supplied
to heat sequencer HR1 on the heater assembly.
4.3 HR1 contacts M1 and M2 will close will close within 10
to 20 seconds and turn on heater element #1. At the
same time, if the heater assembly contains a second
heater element, HR1 will contain a second set of
contacts, M3 and M4, which will close and turn on heater
element #2. The blower motor is already on as a result
of terminal “G” on the EBTDR board being energized for
the first stage heat demand.
Note: If more than two heater elements are on the heater
assembly, it will contain a second heat sequencer, HR2,
which will control the 3rd and 4th heater elements if available.
If the second stage heat demand, “W2” cannot be satisfied
by the heat pump, the temperature indoors will continue to
drop. The room thermostat will then energize “W3” and
24Vac will be supplied to HR2 on the heater assembly.
When the “W3” demand is satisfied, the room thermostat will
remove the 24Vac from HR2. The contacts on HR2 will open
between 30 to 70 seconds and heater elements #3 and #4 will
be turned off. On most digital/electronic thermostats,
“W3” will remain energized until the first stage heat
demand “Y” is satisfied and then the “G”, “Y”, “W2”
and “W3” demands will be removed.
4.4 As the temperature indoors increase, it will reach a point
where the second stage heat demand, “W2”, is satisfied.
When this happens, the room thermostat will remove the
24Vac from the coil of HR1. The contacts on HR1 will
open between 30 to 70 seconds and turn off both heater
element(s). The heat pump remains on along with the
blower motor because the “Y” demand for first stage heat
will still be present.

5.1 The heat pump will be on and operating in the heating
mode as described the Heating Operation in section 4.
5.2 The defrost control in the heat pump unit checks to see
if a defrost is needed every 30, 60 or 90 minutes of heat
pump operation depending on the selectable setting by
monitoring the state of the defrost thermostat attached
to the outdoor coil.
5.3 If the temperature of the outdoor coil is low enough to
cause the defrost thermostat to be closed when the
defrost board checks it, the board will initiate a defrost
cycle.
5.4 When a defrost cycle is initiated, the contacts of the
HVDR relay on the defrost board open and turns off the
outdoor fan. The contacts of the LVDR relay on the
defrost board closes and supplies 24Vac to “O” and
“W2”. The reversing valve is energized and the contacts
on HR1 close and turns on the electric heater(s). The unit
will continue to run in this mode until the defrost cycle is
completed.
5.5 When the temperature of the outdoor coil rises high
enough to causes the defrost thermostat to open, the
defrost cycle will be terminated. If at the end of the
programmed 10 minute override time the defrost thermostat is still closed, the defrost board will automatically
terminate the defrost cycle.
5.6 When the defrost cycle is terminated, the contacts of the
HVDR relay will close to start the outdoor fan and the
contacts of the LVDR relay will open and turn off the

“Y1”. The MBE/AEPF removes the 24Vac from “Ylow/
Y1’ at the condenser and the compressor and condenser
fan are turned off. The blower motor will ramp down to a
complete stop based on the time and rate programmed
in the motor.
2.0 Heating Operation
2.1 On a demand for heat, the room thermostat energizes
“W1” and 24Vac is supplied to terminal “E/W1” of the
VSTB inside the MBE/AEPF unit. The VSTB will turn on
the blower motor and the motor will ramp up to the speed
programmed in the motor based on the settings for dip
switch 1 and 2. The VSTB will supply 24Vac to heat
sequencer HR1 on the electric heater assembly.
2.2 HR1 contacts M1 and M2 will close within 10 to 20
seconds and turn on heater element #1. At the same
time, if the heater assembly contains a second heater
element, HR1 will contain a second set of contacts, M3
and M4, which will close and turn on heater element #2.
Note: If more than two heater elements are on the heater
assembly, it will contain a second heat sequencer, HR2,
which will control the 3rd and 4th heater elements if available.
56
SERVICING
For the 3rd and 4th heater elements to operate on a
second stage heat demand, the PJ4 jumper on the VSTB
inside the MBE/AEPF must be cut. With the PJ4 jumper
cut, the VSTB will run the blower motor on low speed on a “W1”
only demand. If the first stage heat demand, “W1” cannot be
satisfied by the heat pump, the temperature indoors will
continue to drop. The room thermostat will then energize “W2”
and 24Vac will be supplied to HR2 on the heater assembly and
the blower motor will change to high speed. When the “W2”
demand is satisfied, the room thermostat will remove the
24Vac from “W2” and the VSTB will remove the 24Vac from
HR2. The contacts on HR2 will open between 30 to 70
seconds and heater elements #3 and #4 will be turned off and
the blower motor will change to low speed. On most digital/
electronic thermostats, “W2” will remain energized
until the first stage demand “W1” is satisfied and then
the “W1” and “W2” demands will be removed.
2.3 When the “W1” heat demand is satisfied, the room
thermostat will remove the 24Vac from “E/W1” and the
VSTB removes the 24Vac from HR1. The contacts on
HR1 will open between 30 to 70 seconds and turn off the
heater element(s) and the blower motor ramps down to a
complete stop.
MBE/AEPF WITH TWO ST AGE ASZ & DSZ HEAT PUMP
UNITS
3.0 Cooling Operation
When used with the ASZ & DSZ two stage heat
pumpS, dip switch #4 must be set to the OFF position
on the VSTB inside the MBE/AEPF. The “Y1” output
from the indoor thermostat must be connected to the
purple wire labeled “Ylow/Y1” inside the wire bundle
marked “Thermostat” and the purple wire labeled “Ylow/
Y1” inside the wire bundle marked “Outdoor Unit” must be
connected to “Y” at the heat pump. The “Y2” output from
the indoor thermostat must be connected to the yellow
wire labeled “Y/Y2” inside the wire bundle marked “Thermostat” and the yellow wire labeled “Y/Y2” inside the wire
bundle marked “Outdoor Unit” must be connected to “Y/
Y2” at the heat pump. The orange jumper wire from
terminal “Y1” to terminal “O” on the VSTB inside the
MBE/AEPF must be removed.
On heat pump units, when the room thermostat is set to the
cooling mode, 24Vac is supplied to terminal “O” of the
VSTB inside the MBE unit. The VSTB will supply 24Vac
to “O” at the heat pump to energize the reversing valve. As
long as the thermostat is set for cooling, the reversing
valve will be in the energized position for cooling.
3.1 On a demand for cooling, the room thermostat energizes
“G” and “Y1” and 24Vac is supplied to “G” and “Ylow/Y1”
of the MBE unit. The VSTB inside the MBE will turn on
the blower motor and the motor will ramp up to 60% of the
speed programmed in the motor based on the settings for
dip switch 5 and 6. The VSTB will supply 24Vac to “Y” at
the heat pump and the compressor and outdoor fan starts
in low speed operation.
3.2 If first stage cooling cannot satisfy the demand, the room
thermostat will energize “Y2” and supply 24Vac to “Y/
Y2”of the MBE unit. The blower motor will change to the
cfm for high speed operation and the VSTB will supply
24Vac to “Y2” at the heat pump. The compressor and
outdoor fan will change to high speed operation. When
the “Y2” demand is satisfied, the thermostat will remove
the “Y2” demand and the VSTB will remove the 24Vac
from “Y2” at the heat pump. The blower will drop to 60%
of the programmed cfm and the compressor and outdoor
fan will change to low speed operation. On most digital/
electronic thermostats, “Y2” will remain energized
until the first stage cooling demand “Y1” is satisfied
and then the “G”, “Y1” and “Y2” demands will be
removed.
3.3 When the first stage cooling demand, “Y1”, is satisfied,
the room thermostat removes the 24Vac from “G” and
“Y1”. The VSTB removes the 24Vac from “Y’ at the heat
pump and the compressor and outdoor fan are turned off.
The blower motor will ramp down to a complete stop
based on the time and rate programmed in the motor.
4.0 Heating Operation
On heat pump units, when the room thermostat is set to
the heating mode, the reversing valve is not energized.
As long as the thermostat is set for heating, the reversing
valve will be in the de-energized position for heating
except during a defrost cycle. Some installations may
use one or more outdoor thermostats to restrict the
amount of electric heat that is available above a preset
ambient temperature. Use of optional controls such as
these can change the operation of the electric heaters
during the heating mode. This sequence of operation
does not cover those applications.
4.1 On a demand for first stage heat with heat pump units,
the room thermostat energizes “G” and “Y1” and 24Vac
is supplied to “G” and “Ylo/Y1” of the MBE/AEPF. The
VSTB will turn on the blower motor and the motor will
ramp up to 60% of the speed programmed in the motor
based on the settings of dip switch 1 and 2. The VSTB
will supply 24Vac to “Y” at the heat pump. The
compressor will start on high speed and outdoor
fan will start on low speed on a “Y1” heating
demand but the blower motor will deliver only 60%
of the programmed cfm for high speed heating
operation.
4.2 If a thermostat that provides a “Y2” demand in heating is
used and first stage heating cannot satisfy the demand,
the room thermostat will energize “Y2” and supply
24Vac to “Y/Y2” of the MBE unit. The blower motor will
change to the cfm for high speed heating operation and
the VSTB will supply 24Vac to “Y/Y2” at the heat pump.
57
SERVICING
The outdoor fan will change to high speed operation. If the
“Y2” demand is present and becomes satisfied, the
thermostat will remove the “Y2” demand and the VSTB
will remove the 24Vac from “Y/Y2” at the heat pump. The
blower will drop to 60% of the programmed cfm and the
outdoor fan will change to low speed. On most digital/
electronic thermostats, “Y2” will remain energized until
the first stage heating demand “Y1” is satisfied and then
the “G”, “Y1” and “Y2” demands will be removed.
4.3 If the heat pump operation cannot satisfy the demand, the
room thermostat energizes “W2/W3” and 24Vac is supplied to terminal “E/W1” of the VSTB inside the MBE/
AEPF unit. The VSTB will supply 24Vac to heat
sequencer HR1 on the electric heater assembly.
4.4 HR1 contacts M1 and M2 will close within 10 to 20
seconds and turn on heater element #1. At the same
time, if the heater assembly contains a second heater
element, HR1 will contain a second set of contacts, M3
and M4, which will close and turn on heater element #2.
Note: If more than two heater elements are on the heater
assembly, it will contain a second heat sequencer, HR2,
which will control the 3rd and 4th heater elements if available.
For the 3rd and 4th heater elements to operate on a
second stage auxiliary heat demand, the PJ4 jumper on
the VSTB inside the MBE/AEPF must be cut. If the “W2/
W3” demand cannot be satisfied by the heat pump, the
temperature indoors will continue to drop. The room thermostat will then energize “W3/W4” and 24Vac will be supplied
to “W/W2” of the MBE. The VSTB will supply 24Vac to HR2
on the electric heater assembly. When the “W3/W4” demand
is satisfied, the room thermostat will remove the 24Vac from
“W/W2” of the MBE/AEPF. The contacts on HR2 will open
between 30 to 70 seconds and heater elements #3 and #4 will
be turned off. On most digital/electronic thermostats,
“W3/W4” will remain energized until the first stage
demand “Y1” is satisfied and then the “G”, “Y1”, “Y2”
“W2/W3” and “W3/W4” demands will be removed.
4.5 As the temperature indoors increase, it will reach a point
where the “W2/W3” demand is satisfied. When this
happens, the room thermostat will remove the 24Vac
from “E/W1” of the MBE/AEPF. The contacts on HR1 will
open between 30 to 70 seconds and turn off the 1st and
2nd heater elements. If the “Y2” demand is present and
becomes satisfied the room thermostat will remove the
24Vac from “Y/Y2” of the MBE and the blower motor will
change to 60% of the programmed cfm. The VSTB will
remove the 24Vac from “Y/Y2” at the heat pump and the
outdoor fan will change to low speed operation. The heat
pump remains on along with the blower motor because
the “Y1” demand for first stage heat will still be present.
4.6 When the first stage heat demand “Y1” is satisfied, the
room thermostat will remove the 24Vac from “G” and “Ylo/
Y1” of the MBE/AEPF. The VSTB removes the 24Vac
from “Ylo/Y1” at the heat pump and the compressor and
outdoor fan are turned off. The blower motor will ramp
down to a complete stop based on the time and rate
programmed in the motor control.
5.0 Defrost Operation
On heat pump units, when the room thermostat is set to
the heating mode, the reversing valve is not energized.
As long as the thermostat is set for heating, the reversing
valve will be in the de-energized position for heating
except during a defrost cycle.
5.1 The heat pump will be on and operating in the heating
mode as described the Heating Operation in section 4.
5.2 The defrost control in the heat pump unit checks to see
if a defrost is needed every 30, 60 or 90 minutes of heat
pump operation depending on the selectable setting by
monitoring the state of the defrost thermostat attached
to the outdoor coil.
5.3 If the temperature of the outdoor coil is low enough to
cause the defrost thermostat to be closed when the
defrost board checks it, the board will initiate a defrost
cycle.
5.4 When a defrost cycle is initiated, the contacts of the
HVDR relay on the defrost board open and turns off the
outdoor fan. The contacts of the LVDR relay on the
defrost board closes and supplies 24Vac to “O” and
“W2”. The reversing valve is energized and the contacts
on HR1 close and turns on the electric heater(s). The unit
will continue to run in this mode until the defrost cycle is
completed.
5.5 When the temperature of the outdoor coil rises high
enough to causes the defrost thermostat to open, the
defrost cycle will be terminated. If at the end of the
programmed 10 minute override time the defrost thermostat is still closed, the defrost board will automatically
terminate the defrost cycle.
5.6 When the defrost cycle is terminated, the contacts of the
HVDR relay on the defrost board will close to start the
outdoor fan and the contacts of the LVDR relay will open
and turn off the reversing valve and electric heater(s). The
unit will now be back in a normal heating mode with a heat
pump demand for heating as described in the Heating
Operation in section 4.
S-60 ELECTRIC HEATER (OPTIONAL ITEM)
Optional electric heaters may be added, in the quantities
shown in the specifications section, to provide electric
resistance heating. Under no condition shall more heaters
than the quantity shown be installed.
The low voltage circuit in the air handler is factory wired and
terminates at the location provided for the electric heater(s).
A minimum of field wiring is required to complete the installation.
Other components such as a Heating/Cooling Thermostat
and Outdoor Thermostats are available to complete the
installation.
The system CFM can be determined by measuring the static
pressure external to the unit. The installation manual
supplied with the blower coil, or the blower performance table
in the service manual, shows the CFM for the static measured.
58
SERVICING
Alternately, the system CFM can be determined by operating
the electric heaters and indoor blower WITHOUT having the
compressor in operation. Measure the temperature rise as
close to the blower inlet and outlet as possible.
If other than a 240V power supply is used, refer to the BTUHCAPACITY CORRECTION FACTOR chart below.
BTUH CAPACITY CORRECTION FACTOR

MULTIPLICATION FACTOR1.08.92.84.75
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
MBH.
Actual CFM = 1800 x .84 Corr. Factor = 1400 CFM.
NOTE: The temperature rise table is for sea level installa-
tions. The temperature rise at a particular KW and CFM will
be greater at high altitudes, while the external static pressure
at a particular CFM will be less.
Heating Output = KW x 3413 x Corr. Factor
Actual CFM = CFM (from table) x Corr. Factor
BTUH = KW x 3413
BTUH = CFM x 1.08 x Temperature Rise (T)
CFM = KW x 3413

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 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. 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 A LL power before servicing.
1. Remove heater element assembly so as to expose fuse
link.
59
SERVICING
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 A LL 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.
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-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 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. 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.
S-101 LEAK TESTING
(NITROGEN OR NITROGEN-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.
60
SERVICING
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 25 microns absolute and a thermocouple
vacuum gauge to give a true reading of the vacuum in the
system
NOTE: Never use the system compressor as a vacuum pump
or run when under a high vacuum. Motor damage could
occur.
WARNING
Do not front seat the service valve(s) with the
compressor open, with the suction line of the
comprssor closed or severely restricted.
1. Connect the vacuum pump, vacuum tight manifold set
with high vacuum hoses, thermocouple vacuum gauge
and charging cylinder as shown.
2. Start the vacuum pump and open the shut off valve to the
high vacuum gauge manifold only. After the compound
gauge (low side) has dropped to approximately 29 inches
of vacuum, open the valve to the vacuum thermocouple
gauge. See that the vacuum pump will blank-off to a
maximum of 25 microns. A high vacuum pump can only
produce a good vacuum if its oil is non-contaminated.

4. Evacuate the system to at least 29 inches gauge before
opening valve to thermocouple vacuum gauge.
5. Continue to evacuate to a maximum of 250 microns.
Close valve to vacuum pump and watch rate of rise. If
vacuum does not rise above 1500 microns in three to five
minutes, system can be considered properly evacuated.
6. If thermocouple vacuum gauge continues to rise and
levels off at about 5000 microns, moisture and noncondensables are still present. If gauge continues to rise
a leak is present. Repair and re-evacuate.
7. Close valve to thermocouple vacuum gauge and vacuum
pump. Shut off pump and prepare to charge.
S-103 CHARGING
WARNING
REFRIGERANT UNDE R PRESSURE!
* Do not overcharge sy stem w ith refrigerant.
* Do not operate unit in a vacuum or at negative
pressure.
Failure to follow proper procedures may cause
property damage, personal injury or death.
61
SERVICING
CAUTION
Use refrigerant cert if ied to AHRI standards. Use d
refrigerant may cause compressor damage an d will
void the warranty. Most portable machines cannot
clean used refrigera nt to meet AHRI standards .
CAUTIO N
Operating the compressor with the suction valve
closed will vo id the warranty and cause serious
compressor damage.
Charge the system with the exact amount of refrigerant.
Refer to the specification section or check the unit name-
plates for the correct refrigerant charge.
An inaccurately charged system will cause future problems.
1. When using an ambient compensated calibrated charging cylinder, allow liquid refrigerant only to enter the high
side.
2. After the system will take all it will take, close the valve
on the high side of the charging manifold.
3. Start the system and charge the balance of the refrigerant through the low side.
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 are commercially available restriction devices that fit into the system charging hose set to accomplish this. DO NOT charge liquid R410A into the compressor.
4. With the system still running, close the valve on the
charging cylinder. At this time, you may still have some
liquid refrigerant in the charging cylinder hose and will
definitely have liquid in the liquid hose. Reseat the liquid
line core. Slowly open the high side manifold valve and
transfer the liquid refrigerant from the liquid line hose and
charging cylinder hose into the suction service valve
port. CAREFUL: Watch so that liquid refrigerant does
not enter the compressor.
5. With the system still running, remove hose and reinstall
both valve caps.
6. Check system for leaks.
Do not charge a remote condensing unit with a non-matching
evaporator coil, or a system where the charge quantity is
unknown. Do not install or charge R410A condensers matched
with coils having capillary tubes or flow control restrictors.
AHRI rated Coil combinations with thermostatic expansion
valves (TEV's) should be charged by subcooling. See
"Checking Subcooling and Superheat" sections in this manual.
Subcooling values for "Ultron" system are found in the
Technical Information manuals for "Ultron" outdoor units.
Due to their design, Scroll compressors are inherently 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.
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.
Final Charge Adjustment
The outdoor temperature must be 60°F or higher. Set the
room thermostat to COOL, fan switch to AUTO, and set the
temperature control well below room temperature.
After system has stabilized per startup instructions, compare the operating pressures and outdoor unit amp draw to
the numbers listed on the performance label on the outdoor
unit. If pressures and amp draw are too low, add charge. If
pressures and amp draw are too high, remove charge.
Check subcooling and superheat as detailed in the following
section.
The expansion valve is designed to control the rate of liquid
refrigerant flow into an evaporator coil in exact proportion to
the rate of evaporation of the refrigerant in the coil. The
amount of refrigerant entering the coil is regulated since the
valve responds to temperature of the refrigerant gas leaving
the coil (feeler bulb contact) and the pressure of the refrigerant
in the coil. This regulation of the flow prevents the return of
liquid refrigerant to the compressor.
The illustration below shows typical heatpump TXV/check
valve operation in the heating and cooling modes.
COOLINGHEATING
TXV VALVES
Some TXV valves contain an internal check valve thus
eliminating the need for an external check valve and bypass
loop. The three forces which govern the operation of the valve
are: (1) the pressure created in the power assembly by the
feeler bulb, (2) evaporator pressure, and (3) the equivalent
pressure of the superheat spring in the valve.
0% bleed type expansion valves are used on indoor and
outdoor coils. The 0% bleed valve will not allow the system
pressures (High and Low side) to equalize during the shut
down period. The valve will shut off completely at approximately 100 PSIG.
30% bleed valves used on some other models will continue
to allow some equalization even though the valve has shut-off
completely because of the bleed holes within the valve. This
type of valve should not be used as a replacement for a 0%
bleed valve, due to the resulting drop in performance.
The bulb must be securely fastened with two straps to a clean
straight section of the suction line. Application of the bulb to
a horizontal run of line is preferred. If a vertical installation
cannot be avoided, the bulb must be mounted so that the
capillary tubing comes out at the top.
THE VALVES PROVIDED BY GOODMAN ARE DESIGNED
TO MEET THE SPECIFICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR
OPTIMUM PRODUCT OPERATION. DO NOT USE SUBSTITUTES.
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 8 to 12
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. Temporarily install thermometer on suction (large) line
near suction line service valve with adequate contact and
insulate for best possible reading.
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.
SUPERHEAT AND SUBCOOLING ADJUSTMENT ON TXV
APPLICATIONS
1. Run system at least 10 minutes to allow pressure to
stabilize.
2. Temporarily install thermometer on liquid (small) line
near liquid line service valve with adequate contact and
insulate for best possible reading.
3. Check subcooling and superheat. Systems with TXV
application should have a subcooling and superheat of
7 ± 2ºF.
a.If subcooling and superheat are low, adjust TXV
to 7 - 9ºF then check subcooling.
b.If subcooling is low and superheat is high, add
charge to raise subcooling to 7 ± 2ºF then check
superheat.
c.If subcooling and superheat are high, adjust TXV
valve to 7 ± 9ºF then check subcooling.
d.If subcooling is high and superheat is low, adjust
TXV valve to 7 to 9ºF superheat and remove
charge to lower the subcooling to 7 ± 2ºF.
The TXV should NOT be adjusted at light load conditions
55º to 60ºF, under such conditions only the subcooling
can be evaluated. This is because suction pressure is
dependent on the indoor coil match, indoor airflow, and
wet bulb temperature. NOTE: Do NOT adjust charge
based on suction pressure unless there is a gross
undercharge.
4. Disconnect manifold set. Installation is complete.
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.
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.
66
SERVICING
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 43). 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-109A TWO SPEED APPLICATION
Run the remote on low stage cooling for 10 minutes until
refrigerant pressures stabilize. Follow the guidelines and
methods below to check unit operation and ensure that the
refrigerant charge is within limits. Charge the unit on low
stage.
1. Purge gauge lines. Connect service gauge manifold to
base-valve service ports. Run system at least 10 minutes
to allow pressure to stabilize.
2. Temporarily install thermometer on liquid (small) line
near liquid line service valve with adequate contact and
insulate for best possible reading.
3. Check subcooling and superheat. Systems with TXV
application should have a subcooling of 5 to 7 ºF and
superheat of 7 to 9 ºF.
a.If subcooling and superheat are low, adjust TXV to
7 to 9 ºF superheat, 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 ºF 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.
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 = Sat. Liquid Temp. - Liquid Line Temp.
S-110 CHECKING EXPANSION VALVE
OPERATION
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-111 FIXED ORIFICE RESTRICTOR DEVICES
The fixed orifice restrictor device (flowrator) used in conjunction with the indoor coil is a predetermined bore (I.D.).
It is designed to control the rate of liquid refrigerant flow into
an evaporator coil.
The amount of refrigerant that flows through the fixed orifice
restrictor device is regulated by the pressure difference
between the high and low sides of the system.
In the cooling cycle when the outdoor air temperature rises,
the high side condensing pressure rises. At the same time,
the cooling load on the indoor coil increases, causing the low
side pressure to rise, but at a slower rate.
Since the high side pressure rises faster when the temperature increases, more refrigerant flows to the evaporator,
increasing the cooling capacity of the system.
When the outdoor temperature falls, the reverse takes place.
The condensing pressure falls, and the cooling loads on the
indoor coil decreases, causing less refrigerant flow.
A strainer is placed on the entering side of the tube to prevent
any foreign material from becoming lodged inside the fixed
orifice restriction device.
If a restriction should become evident, proceed as follows:
1. Recover refrigerant charge.
67
SERVICING
2. Remove the orifice or tube strainer assembly and replace.
3. Replace liquid line drier, evacuate and recharge.
CHECKING EQUALIZATION TIME
During the "OFF" cycle, the high side pressure bleeds to the
low side through the fixed orifice restriction device. Check
equalization time as follows:
1. Attach a gauge manifold to the suction and liquid line dill
valves.
2. Start the system and allow the pressures to stabilize.
3. Stop the system and check the time it takes for the high
and low pressure gauge readings to equalize.
If it takes more than seven (7) minutes to equalize, the
restrictor device is inoperative. Replace, install a liquid line
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.
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.
CAUTIO N
Do no t allow the slud ge or oil to con tact 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.
Use AMANA® brand part number RF000127 suction line filter
drier kit. This drier should be installed as close to the
compressor suction fitting as possible. The filter must be
accessible and be rechecked for a pressure drop after the
system has operated for a time. It may be necessary to use
new tubing and form as required.
68
SERVICING
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.
2. For all line set applications over 80 feet a TXV is recommended. The subcooling should be 6º ± 2º.
3. Hard Start Assist- increased charge level in long line
applications can require extra work from the compressor
at start-up. A hard start assist device may be required to
overcome this.
4. Liquid Line Solenoid - a long line set application can
critically increase the charge level needed for a system.
As a result, the system is very prone to refrigerant
migration during its off-cycle and a liquid line solenoid will
help minimize this. A liquid line solenoid is recommended for any long line application on straight cooling
units.
Tube Sizing:
1. In long line applications, the “equivalent line length” is the
sum of the straight length portions of the suction line plus
losses (in equivalent length) from 45 and 90 degree
bends. Select the proper suction tube size based on
equivalent length of the suction line (see Tables 4 &
5) and recalculated system capacity.
Equivalent length =
Length horizontal
+ Length vertical
+ Losses from bends (see Tables 4 & 5)
Example using ¾” elbow:
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.
LONG LINE SET APPLICATION R-410A
This long line set application guideline applies to all AHRI
listed R-410A air conditioner and heat pump split system
matches of nominal capacity 18,000 to 60,000 Btuh. This
guideline will cover installation requirements and additional
accessories needed for split system installations where the
line set exceeds 80 feet in actual length.
Accessories for lines greater than 80 feet:
1. Crankcase Heater- a long line set application can
critically increase the charge level needed for a system.
As a result, the system is very prone to refrigerant
migration during its off-cycle and a crankcase heater will
help minimize this risk. A crankcase heater is required for
any long line application (50 watt minimum).
150 feet of straight tubing + (four short radius elbows
x 1.7) + (2 long radius elbows x 1.5) = 150 + 3.4 +3 =
156.4 equivalent feet.
2. For any residential split system installed with a longline set, 3/8" liquid line size must be used. Limiting
the liquid line size to 3/8" is critical since an increased
refrigerant charge level from having a larger liquid line
could possibly shorten a compressor’s life-span.
3. Single Stage Condensing Unit: The maximum length
of tubing must not exceed 150 feet.
•80 feet is the maximum recommended vertical difference
between the condenser and evaporator when the evaporator is above the condenser. Equivalent length is not to
exceed 150 feet.
•The vertical difference between the condenser and evaporator when the evaporator is below the condenser can
approach 150 feet, as long as the equivalent length does
not exceed 150 feet.
•The distance between the condenser and evaporator in a
completely horizontal installation in which the indoor and
outdoor unit do not differ more than 10 feet in vertical
distance from each other can approach 150 feet, as long
as the equivalent length does not exceed 150 feet.
69
SERVICING
4. Two-Stage Condensing Unit: The maximum length of
tubing must not exceed 80 feet where indoor coil is
located above the outdoor unit.
NOTE: When the outdoor unit is located above the
indoor coil, the maximum vertical rise must not exceed
25 feet. If the maximum vertical rise exceeds 25 feet,
premature compressor failure will occur due to inadequate oil return.
5. Most refrigerant tubing kits are supplied with 3/8"-
thick insulation on the vapor line. For long line
installations over 80 feet that pass through a high
ambient temperature, ½”-thick suction line insulation is recommended to reduce loss of capacity.
Insulate the liquid line if it passes through an area
of 120°F or greater. Do not attach the liquid line to
any non-insulated portion of the suction line.
6. Vibration and Noise: In long line applications, refrigerant tubing is highly prone to transmit noise and vibration
to the structure it is fastened to. Use adequate vibrationisolating hardware when mounting line set to adjacent
structure.
Table 4 lists multiplier values to recalculate system-cooling
capacity as a function of a system’s equivalent line length (as
calculated from the suction line) and the selected suction
tube size. Table 5 lists the equivalent length gained from
adding bends to the suction line. Properly size the suction
NOTE: For a condenser with a liquid valve tube connection
less than 3/8" diameter, use 3/8" liquid line tubing for a line
set greater than 25 feet.
Installation Requirements
1. In a completely horizontal installation with a long line set
where the evaporator is at the same altitude as (or
slightly below) the condenser, the line set should be
sloped towards the evaporator. This helps reduce
refrigerant migration to the condenser during a system’s
off-cycle.
2. For a system installation where the
evaporator is above
the condenser, an inverted vapor line trap should be
installed on the suction line just before the inlet to the
evaporator (see Fig 6). The top of the inverted loop must
be slightly above the top of the evaporator coil and can
be created simply by brazing two 90° long radius elbows
together, if a bending tool is unavailable. Properly
support and secure the inverted loop to the nearest point
on the indoor unit or adjacent structure.
Fig 6. Evaporator unit with inverted vapor loop
3. An oil trap is required at the evaporator if thecondenser is above the evaporator. Depending on
the vertical rise of the line set, oil traps are required in the
suction line. Oil traps should be installed at equal
intervals along the suction line. Install 1 oil trap for a
height difference of 15–25 feet between indoor and
outdoor units. Install 2 oil traps for a difference of 26-50
ft, 3 for 51-100 ft, and 4 for 101-150 ft. Preformed oil traps
are available at most HVAC supply houses, or oil traps
may be created by brazing tubing elbows together (see
diagram below). Remember to add the equivalent length
from oil traps to the equivalent length calculation of the
suction line. For example, if you construct an oil trap
using two 45° elbows, one short and one long 90° elbow
in a ¾” diameter suction line, the additional equivalent
length would be 0.7+ 0.7+1.7+1.5, which equals 4.6 feet
(refer to Table 5).

Mounting the condensing unit above the
evaporator coil will require oil traps at equal

for a height difference of 15-25 feet between
indoor and outdoor units.
Install 2 oil traps for a difference
of 26-50 feet, 3 for 51-100 feet,
and 4 for 101-150 feet.
Fig 7. Oil Trap Placement
Remember, 3/8" liquid tubing is required for all long line
set applications.
Heat pumps should be checked in both heating and cooling
mode for proper charge level. This guideline is meant to
provide installation instructions based on most common long
line set applications. Installation variables may affect system
operation.
Follow the charging procedures in the outdoor unit I/O manual
to ensure proper superheat and sub-cooling levels, especially
on a system with a TXV installed in the indoor unit. Heat
pumps should be checked in both heating and cooling mode
for proper charge level. This guideline is meant to provide
installation instructions based on most common long line set
applications. Installation variables may affect system
operation.

Initial System Charging
R-410A condensers are factory charged for 15 feet of line set.
To calculate the amount of extra refrigerant (in ounces)
needed for a line set over 15 feet, multiply the additional length
of line set by 0.6 ounces. Note for the formula below, the linear
feet of line set is the actual length of liquid line (or suction line,
since both should be equal) used, not the equivalent length
calculated for the suction line.
NO ADDITIONAL COMPRESSOR OIL IS NEEDED FOR
LONG LINE SET APPLICATIONS ON RESIDENTIAL SPLIT
SYSTEMS.
S-202 DUCT STATIC PRESSURES AND/OR
STATIC PRESSURE DROP
ACROSS COILS
This minimum and maximum allowable duct static pressure
for the indoor sections are found in the specifications section.
Tables are also provided for each coil, listing quantity of air
(CFM) versus static pressure drop across the coil.
Too great an external static pressure will result in insufficient
air that can cause icing of the coil. Too much air can cause
poor humidity control and condensate to be pulled off the
evaporator coil causing condensate leakage. Too much air
can also cause motor overloading and in many cases this
constitutes a poorly designed system.
S-203 AIR HANDLER EXTERNAL STATIC
To determine proper air movement, proceed as follows:
1. Using a draft gauge (inclined manometer), measure the
static pressure of the return duct at the inlet of the unit,
(Negative Pressure).
2. Measure the static pressure of the supply duct, (Positive
Pressure).
Use subcooling as the primary method for final system
charging of long line set system application.
Extra refrigerant needed =
(Linear feet of line set – 15 ft.) x X oz./ft.
Where X = 0.6 for 3/8" liquid tubing

3. Add the two readings together.
TOTAL EXTERNAL STATIC
NOTE: Both readings may be taken simultaneously and read
directly on the manometer if so desired.
4. Consult proper table for quantity of air.

determine airflow, supply static must be taken between the
"A" coil and the furnace.
