ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Precautions and Procedures
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components. Take precautions during unit instal­lation and service to protect the unit’s electronic controls. Precautions will help to avoid control exposure to electrostatic discharge by putting the unit, the control and the technician at the same electrostatic potential. Neutralize electro­static charge by touching hand and all tools on an unpainted unit surface before performing any service procedure.
A−Two−Stage Scroll Compressor (B1)
The scroll compressor design is simple, efficient and re­quires few moving parts. A cutaway diagram of the scroll compressor is shown in figure 1.The scrolls are located in the top of the compressor can and the motor is located just below. The oil level is immediately below the motor.
The scroll is a simple compression concept centered around the unique spiral shape of the scroll and its inherent properties. Figure 6 shows the basic scroll form. Two iden­tical scrolls are mated together forming concentric spiral shapes (figure 7). One scroll remains stationary, while the other is allowed to orbit" (figure 8). Note that the orbiting scroll does not rotate or turn but merely orbits" the station­ary scroll.

DISCHARGE PRESSURE
The counterclockwise orbiting scroll draws gas into the out-
er crescent shaped gas pocket created by the two scrolls
(figure 8 − 1). The centrifugal action of the orbiting scroll
seals off the flanks of the scrolls (figure 8 − 2). As the orbiting
motion continues, the gas is forced toward the center of the
scroll and the gas pocket becomes compressed (figure 8
−3). When the compressed gas reaches the center, it is dis-
charged vertically into a chamber and discharge port in the
top of the compressor (figure 8 − 4). The discharge pressure
forcing down on the top scroll helps seal off the upper and
lower edges (tips) of the scrolls (figure 7). During a single or-
bit, several pockets of gas are compressed simultaneously
providing smooth continuous compression.
The scroll compressor is tolerant to the effects of liquid re-
turn. If liquid enters the scrolls, the orbiting scroll is allowed
to separate from the stationary scroll. The liquid is worked
toward the center of the scroll and is discharged.
Due to its efficiency, the scroll compressor is capable of
drawing a much deeper vacuum than reciprocating com-
pressors. Deep vacuum operation can cause internal fusite
arcing resulting in damaged internal parts and will result in
compressor failure. This type of damage can be detected
and will result in denial of warranty claims. The scroll com-
pressor can be used to pump down refrigerant as long as
the pressure is not reduced below 7 psig.
NOTE − During operation, the head of a scroll compressor
may be hot since it is in constant contact with discharge
gas.
The scroll compressors in all XPG20 model units are de-
signed for use with R410A refrigerant and operation at high
pressures. Compressors are shipped from the factory with
3MA (32MMMA) P.O.E. oil. See electrical section in this
manual for compressor specifications.

TWO−STAGE OPERATION
The two−stage scroll compressor operates like any stan-
dard scroll compressor with the exception the two−stage
compressor modulates between first stage (low capacity
approximately 67%) and second stage (high capacity).
Modulation occurs when gas is bypassed through bypass
ports (figure 9 bypass ports open) in the first suction pock-
et. This bypassing of gas allows the compressor to operate
Indoor thermostat setting will determine first or second
stage operation. The compressor will operate on first−stage until demand is satisfied or the indoor temperature reaches the thermostat set point calling for second−stage.
Second−stage (high capacity) is achieved by blocking the bypass ports (figure 9 bypass ports closed) with a slider ring. The slider ring begins in the open position and is con­trolled by a 24VDC internal solenoid. On a Y2 call the inter- nal solenoid closes the slider ring, blocking the bypass ports and bringing the compressor to high capacity. Two− stage modulation can occur during a single thermostat de­mand as the motor runs continuously while the compressor modulates from first−stage to second− stage.

INTERNAL SOLENOID (L34)
The internal unloader solenoid controls the two−stage op-
eration of the compressor by shifting a slide ring mecha-
nism to open (low capacity) or close (high capacity), two
by−pass ports in the first compression pocket of the scrolls
in the compressor. The internal solenoid is activated by a
24 volt direct current solenoid coil. The internal wires
from the solenoid in the compressor are routed to a 2 pin
fusite connection on the side of the compressor shell. The
external electrical connection is made to the compressor
with a molded plug assembly. The molded plug receives 24
volt DC power from the LSOM II.
check the following
IMPORTANT
This performance check is ONLY valid on systems that have clean indoor and outdoor coils, proper air­flow over coils, and correct system refrigerant charge. All components in the system must be func­tioning proper to correctly perform compressor modulation operational check. (Accurate measure­ments are critical to this test as indoor system load­ing and outdoor ambient can affect variations be­tween low and high capacity readings).
STEP 1 Confirm low to high capacity compressor
operation
Tools required
Refrigeration gauge set
Digital volt/amp meter
Electronic temperature thermometer
On-off toggle switch
Procedure
1−. Turn main power "OFF" to outdoor unit.
2−. Adjust room thermostat set point above (heating op-
eration on heat pump) or below (cooling operation) the room temperature 5ºF.
3−. Remove control access panel. Install refrigeration
gauges on unit. Attach the amp meter to the common (black wire) wire of the compressor harness. Attach thermometer to discharge line as close as possible to the compressor.
4−. Turn toggle switch "OFF" and install switch in series
with Y2 wire from room thermostat.
5−. Cycle main power "ON."
6−. Allow pressures and temperatures to stabilize before
taking any measured reading (may take up to 10 min­utes).
NOTE − Block outdoor coil to maintain a minimum of 375 psig during testing).
7−. Record all of the readings for the Y1 demand on table
1.
8−. Close switch to energize Y2 demand.
9−. Allow pressures and temperatures to stabilize before
taking any measured reading (this may take up to 10 minutes).
10−.Record all of the readings of Y2 demand on table 1.
NOTE − On new installations or installations that have shut down for an extended period of time, if the com­pressor does not cycle from low stage to high stage on the first attempt, it may be necessary to recycle the com­pressor back down to low stage and back up to high stage a few times in order to get the bypass seals to properly seat
Compare Y1 readings with Y2 readings in table 1. Some readings should be higher, lower or the same. If the readings follow what table 1 specifies, the compressor is operating and shifting to high capacity as designed. If the readings do not follow what table1 specifies, continue to step 2 to determine if problem is with external solenoid plug power.

STEP 2 Confirm DC voltage output on compressor solenoid plug
1−. Shut power off to the outdoor unit.
2−. Insert lead wires from voltmeter into back of the red
and black wire plug jack that feeds power to compres­sor solenoid coil. Set voltmeter to DC volt scale to read DC voltage output from LSOM II plug. See figure 10.
FIGURE 10
3−. Apply a Y1 and Y2 demand from the indoor thermostat
to the LSOM II.
4−. Turn power back on to unit.
5−. Compressor should cycle ON" when Y1 is calling.
6−. With Y2 calling, 5 seconds after compressor cycles
ON", LSOM II will output 24 volt DC signal to the com­pressor solenoid plug. Once the solenoid has pulled in, the LSOM II will reduce the DC voltage to a pulsating 6 to 18 volt DC output to the solenoid to allow the sole­noid to remain energized.
IMPORTANT
When checking compressor for two−stage operation, always cycle Y1 to Y2 from terminals on the LSOMII or room thermostat connections. DO NOT cycle sec­ond stage (Y2) of compressor by unplugging the 24VDC solenoid LSOM II end of plug. The LSOM II will only output a 6 to 18VDC signal which will be insuffi­cient voltage to pull the solenoid coil in for second stage.
If compressor solenoid is still not shifting to high capac­ity, this check will verify that DC power is being fed from the LSOM II.
7−. Shut power off to unit (main and low voltage)
8−. Unplug the 2 pin solenoid plug from the fusite connec-
tion on the compressor and the plug end from the LSOM II.
9−. Using an OHM meter, check for continuity on the plug
harness wire ends (red to red, black to black). Wires should have continuity between same colors and no continuity between opposite color wires.
If the above checks verify that the solenoid plug is pro­viding power to cycle into high capacity operation, con­tinue to step 3 to determine if problem is with solenoid coil in compressor
STEP 3 Confirm internal unloader solenoid has
proper resistance
1−. Shut all power off to unit (main and low voltage)
2−. Unplug the molded plug from the compressor solenoid
2−pin fusite.
3−. Using a volt meter set on the 200 ohm scale
Replace the Compressor under these conditions:
Page 9
Bad Solenoid
a. Measure the resistance at the 2−pin fusite. The resist­ance should be 32 to 60 ohms depending on compressor temperature. If no resistance replace compressor.
b. Measure the resistance from each fusite pin to ground. There should not be continuity to ground. If so­lenoid coil is grounded, replace compressor.
Good Solenoid
a. Seals not shifting, replace compressor b. Slider ring not shifting, replace compressor.
B−Contactor (K1)
The compressor is energized by a contactor located in the control box. Units are single phase and use single−pole con­tactors.
C−Low Pressure Switch (S87)
The XPG20 is equipped with an auto−reset low pressure switch which is located on the suction line. The switch shuts off the compressor when the suction pressure falls below the factory setting. This switch is ignored during the first 90 seconds of compressor start up, during defrost operation, 90 seconds after defrost operation, during test mode and when the outdoor temperature drops below 15°F.
The switch closes when it is exposed to 55 psig and opens at 25 psig. It is not adjustable.
D−High Pressure Switch (S4)
IMPORTANT
Pressure switch settings for R410A refrigerant will be significantly higher than units with R22.
An auto-reset, single-pole/single-throw high pressure switch is located in the liquid line. This switch shuts off the compres­sor when liquid line pressure rises above the factory setting. The switch is normally closed and is permanently adjusted to trip (open) at 590 +
15 psi and close at 418 + 15 psi. See fig-
ure 3 for switch location.
E−Capacitor (C12)
The compressor uses a permanent split capacitor (see unit wiring diagram). The capacitor is located inside the unit con­trol box. Ratings are on capacitor side.
F−Condenser Fan with Variable Speed Motor(B4)
The variable speed condenser fan motor (figure 11) used in all units is a three-phase, electronically controlled d.c. brushless motor (controller converts single phase a.c. to three phase d.c.), with a permanent-magnet-type rotor, manufactured by GE. Because this motor has a permanent magnet rotor it does not need brushes like conventional D.C. motors. The motors consist of a control module and motor . Internal components are shown in figure 12. The stator windings are split into three poles which are electrically connected to the controller. This ar­rangement allows motor windings to be turned on and off in sequence by the controller.
The controller is primarily an a.c. to d.c. converter. Con­verted d.c. power is used to drive the motor. The control­ler contains a microprocessor which monitors varying conditions inside the motor (such as motor workload).
The controller uses sensing devices to know what position the rotor is in at any given time. By sensing the position of the rotor and then switching the motor windings on and off in sequence, the rotor shaft turns the blower.

Internal Operation
The condenser fan motor is a variable speed motor with RPM settings at 700 (Y1) and 820 (Y2). The variation in speed is accomplished each time the controller switches a stator wind­ing (figure11) on and off, it is called a pulse." The length of time each pulse stays on is called the pulse width." By vary­ing the pulse width the controller varies motor speed (called pulse-width modulation"). This allows for precise control of motor speed and allows the motor to compensate for varying load conditions as sensed by the controller. In this case, the controller monitors the static workload on the motor and var­ies motor rpm in order to maintain constant airflow (cfm).
Motor rpm is continually adjusted internally to maintain constant static pressure against the fan blade. The control­ler monitors the static work load on the motor and motor amp-draw to determine the amount of rpm adjustment. Blower rpm is adjusted internally to maintain a constant cfm. The amount of adjustment is determined by the incre­mental taps which are used and the amount of motor load­ing sensed internally. The motor constantly adjusts rpm to maintain a specified cfm.
Page 10
Initial Power Up
When line voltage is applied to the motor, there will be a large inrush of power lasting less than 1/4 second. This in­rush charges a bank of DC filter capacitors inside the con­troller. If the disconnect switch is bounced when the discon­nect is closed, the disconnect contacts may become welded. Try not to bounce the disconnect switch when ap­plying power to the unit.
DANGER
Disconnect power from unit and wait at least five minutes to allow capacitors to discharge before attempting to service motor. Failure to wait may cause personal injury or death.
Motor Start-Up
At start-up, the motor may gently rock back and forth for a moment. This is normal. During this time the electronic controller is determining the exact position of the rotor. Once the motor begins turning, the controller slowly eases the motor up to speed (this is called soft-start"). The motor may take as long as 10-15 seconds to reach full speed. If the motor does not reach 200rpm within 13 seconds, the motor shuts down. Then the motor will im­mediately attempt a restart. The shutdown feature pro­vides protection in case of a frozen bearing or blocked fan blade. The motor may attempt to start eight times. If the motor does not start after the eighth try, the controller locks out. Reset controller by momentarily turning off power to unit.
Troubleshooting
If first or second stage thermostat call for cool is present and the variable speed condenser fan motor does not ener­gize, check voltage at the breaker box. If voltage is present do the following and reference figure 13.
1− Check for 240 volts between the compressor RED wi-
res.
2− Initiate a first stage call for cool. Check for 24 volts be-
tween the fan motor YELLOW wire and fan motor BLACK wire.
3− Initiate a second stage call for cool. Check for 24 volts
between the fan motor YELLOW wire and fan motor BLACK wire, then check for 24 volts between the fan motor BLUE wire and fan motor BLACK.
4− Repeat steps 1 and 2 with a HEAT call.
