IMPORTANT INFORMATION
SAFE REFRIGERANT HANDLING
While these items will not cover every conceivable situation, they should serve as a useful guide.
WARNING
REFRIGERANTS ARE H EAVIER T HAN AIR. THEY CAN "PUS H OUT" THE
OXYGEN IN YOUR LUNGS OR IN ANY ENCLOSED SPACE. POSSI BLE DIFFI CULTY IN BRE ATHIN G OR DEATH:
EVER PURGE REFRIGERANT INTO AN ENCLOSED ROOM OR SPACE. BY
N
LAW, ALL REFRIGERANTS MUST BE RECLAIMED.
IF AN INDOOR LEAK IS SUSPECTED, THOROUGHLY VENTIL ATE THE AREA
• BEFORE BEGINNING WORK.
IQUID REFRIGERANT CAN BE VERY COLD. TO AVOID POSSIBLE FROST-

WARNING
TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPLOSION:
EVER APPLY FLAME OR S TEAM TO A REFRIGERAN T CYLINDER. IF YOU
N
MUST HEAT A CYLINDE R FOR FASTER CHARGING , PARTIALLY IMMERSE IT IN WARM WATER.
NEVER FILL A CYLINDE R MORE THAN 80% FULL OF LIQUID REFRIGERANT.
NEVER ADD ANYTHING OTHER THAN R-22 TO AN R-22 CYLINDER OR
R-410A TO AN R-410A CYLINDER . THE SERVICE EQUIPMENT USED MUST
BE LISTED OR CERTIF IED FOR THE TYPE OF REF RIGERANT USED.
TORE CYLINDERS IN A CO OL, DRY PLACE. NEVER USE A CYLIND ER
S
AS A PLATFORM OR A ROLLER.
WARNING
TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPLOSION, USE ONLY RETURNABLE (NOT DISPOSABLE)
SERVICE CYLINDERS WHEN REMOVING REFRIGERANT FROM A SYSTEM.
ENSURE THE CYLINDER IS FREE OF DAMA GE WHICH COULD LEAD TO A
LEAK OR EX PLOS ION.
ENSURE THE HYDROST ATIC TEST DATE DOES NO T EXCEED 5 YEARS.
ENSURE THE PRESSURE RATING MEETS OR EXCEEDS 400 LBS.
WHEN IN DOUBT, DO NOT USE CYLINDER.
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, EXPLOSION OR DEATH, PRACTICE SAFE
HANDLING OF REFRIGERANTS.
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.

LOCATION & CLEARANCES
NOTE: To ensure proper condensate drainage, unit must be in­stalled in a level position.
In installations where the unit is installed above ground level and not serviceable from the ground (Example: Roof Top installations) the installer must provide a service platform for the service person with rails or guards in accordance with local codes or ordinances.
GPC/GPH13[24-60]M**
NOTE: Roof overhang should be no more than 36" and
provisions made to deflect the warm discharge air out from the overhang.
Minimum clearances are required to avoid air recirculation and keep the unit operating at peak efficiency.
WARNING
TO PREVENT POSSIBLE DAMAGE, THE UNIT SHOULD REMAIN IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION DURING ALL RIGGING AND MOVING OPERA TIONS. TO F ACILITA TE LIFTING AND MOVING IF A CRANE IS USED, PLACE THE UNIT IN AN ADEQUA TE CABLE SLIDE.
Refer to Roof curb Installation Instructions for proper curb in­stallation. Curbing must be installed in compliance with the National Roofing Contractors Association Manual.
Lower unit carefully onto roof mounting curb. While rigging unit, center of gravity will cause condenser end to be lower than supply air end.
Roof Curb
GPC/GPH13[24-60]M**
GPC/GPH Package Units are designed for outdoor installa­tions only in either residential or light commercial applications.
NOTE: To ensure proper condensate drainage, unit must be in­stalled in a level position.
The connecting ductwork (Supply and Return) can be connected for horizontal discharge airflow. In the down discharge applica­tions, a matching Roof Curb (PGC101/102/103) is recom­mended.
A return air filter must be installed behind the return air grille(s) or provision must be made for a filter in an accessible location within the return air duct. An internal filter rack (GPH13MFR102 & 103) and an external filter rack (GPGHFR101-103) are also available as accessories. The minimum filter area should not be less than those sizes listed in the Specification Section. Under no circumstances should the unit be operated without return air filters.
A 3/4" - 14 NPT drain connector is provided for removal of con­densate water from the indoor coil. In order to provide proper condensate flow, do not reduce the drain line size.
Refrigerant flow control is achieved by use of restrictor orifices. These models use the FasTest Access Fitting System, with a saddle that is either soldered to the suction and liquid lines or is fastened with a locking nut to the access fitting box (core) and then screwed into the saddle. Do not remove the core
from the saddle until the refrigerant charge has been removed. Failure to do so could result in property dam­age or personal injury.
The single phase units use permanent split capacitors (PSC) design compressors. Starting components are therefore not required. A low MFD run capacitor assists the compressor to start and remains in the circuit during operation.

PRODUCT DESIGN
The outdoor fan motor is a single phase capacitor type motors. Air for condensing (cooling) is drawn through the outdoor coil
by a propeller fan, and is discharged vertically out the top of the unit. The outdoor coil is designed for .0 static. No addi­tional restriction (ductwork) shall be applied.
Conditioned air is drawn through the filter(s), field installed, across the evaporator coil and back into the conditioned space by the indoor blower.
COMPRESSORS
Some GPC/GPH series package units use the Compliant Scroll compressor, instead of traditional reciprocating compressors. Still other models use reciprocating compressors.
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.
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.
INDOOR BLOWER MOTOR
Some GPC/GPH model package units use a GE X13TM blower motor while others use the standard PSC type blower motor. The GE X13TM motor is a 3 Phase brushless DC (single phase AC input), ball bearing construction motor with an integral con­trol module with an internal FCC B EMI filter.
The GE X13TM motor is continuously powered with line voltage. The switched 24 volt control signal is controlled by the thermo­stat.
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:

ELECTRICAL WIRING
The units are designed for operation at the voltages and hertz as shown on the rating plate. All internal wiring is complete. Ensure the power supply to the compressor contactor is brought to the unit as shown on the supplied unit wiring diagram. The 24V wiring must be connected between the unit control panel and the room thermostat.
WARNING
TO AVOID PER SON AL I NJURY OR D EATH DUE T O ELECTRIC SHOCK, WI RI NG TO T HE UNI T MUST BE PROPERLY P OLAR IZ ED AND G ROUNDED.
WARNING
WARNING
TO AVOID THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR FIRE, USE ONLY COPPER CONDUCTORS.
LINE VOLTAGE WIRING
Power supply to the unit must be N.E.C. Class 1, and must comply with all applicable codes. The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with the local codes or, in their ab­sence, with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, or in Canada, Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1, Part 1. A fused disconnected must be provided and sized in accordance with the unit minimum circuit ampacity.
The best protection for the wiring is the smallest fuse or breaker which will hold the equipment on line during normal operation without nuisance trips. Such a device will provide maximum circuit protection.
WARNING
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM OVERCURRENT DEVICE SIZE SHOWN ON THE UNI T DATA PLATE.
All line voltage connections must be made through weather proof fittings. All exterior power supply and ground wiring must be in approved weather proof conduit. Low voltage wiring from the unit control panel to the thermostat requires coded cable.
The unit transformer is connected for 230V operation. If the unit is to operate on 208V, reconnect the transformer primary lead as shown on the unit wiring diagram.
If it is necessary for the installer to supply additional line volt­age wiring to the inside of the package unit, the wiring must comply with all local codes. This wiring must have a minimum temperature rating of 105°C. All line voltage splices must be made inside the unit or heat kit control box.

SYSTEM OPERATION
COOLING
The refrigerant used in the system is R-22. It is clear, color­less, non-toxic, non-irritating, and non-explosive liquid. The chemical formula is CHCLF pressure is -41.4°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: Actual temperatures and pressures are to be obtained from the expanded ratings in the Technical Information Manual.
High temperature, high pressure vapor leaves the compres­sor through the discharge line and enters the condenser coil. Air drawn through the condenser coil by the condenser fan causes the refrigerant to condense into a liquid by removing heat from the refrigerant. As the refrigerant is cooled below its condensing temperature it becomes subcooled.
The subcooled high pressure liquid refrigerant now leaves the condenser coil via the liquid line until it reaches the indoor expansion device.
As the refrigerant passes through the expansion device and into the evaporator coil a pressure drop is experienced caus­ing the refrigerant to become a low pressure liquid. Low pres­sure saturated refrigerant enters the evaporator coil where heat is absorbed from the warm air drawn across the coil by the evaporator blower. As the refrigerant passes through the last tubes of the evaporator coil it becomes superheated, that is, it absorbs more heat than is necessary for the refrig­erant to vaporize. Maintaining proper superheat assures that liquid refrigerant is not returning to the compressor which can lead to early compressor failure.
Low pressure superheated vapor leaves the evaporator coil and returns through the suction line to the compressor where the cycle begins again.
COOLING CYCLE
Cooling Only Models
When the contacts of the room thermostat close, making terminals R to Y and R to G, the low voltage circuit to the contactor is completed starting the compressor and outdoor fan motor. This also energizes the indoor blower through the normally open contacts of the EBTDR on PSC equipped models units and through the thermostat Y terminal to the X13 motor on X13 equipped model units.
When the thermostat is satisfied, breaking the circuit be­tween R to Y and R to G, the compressor and outdoor fan motor will stop. The indoor blower will stop after the fan off delay.

If the room thermostat fan selector switch should be set to the "on" position then the indoor blower would run continu­ous rather than cycling with the compressor.
Heat Pump Models
Any time the room thermostat is switched to cool, the O terminal is energized. This energizes the 24 volt coil on the reversing valve and switches it to the cooling position.
When the contacts of the room thermostat close, this closes the circuit from R to Y and R to G in the unit.
This energizes the compressor contactor and will energize the indoor blower following the EBTDR 7 second fan on delay on PSC equipped model units, and instantly on models equipped with the GE X13TM motor.
When the thermostat is satisfied, it opens its contacts break­ing the low voltage circuit causing the compressor contactor to open and indoor fan to stop after the EBTDR 65 second delay on PSC equipped model units, and after the programmed 60 second off delay on units with the GE X13TM motor.
If the room thermostat fan selector switch should be set to the "on" position then the indoor blower would run continu­ous rather than cycling with the compressor.

If auxiliary electric heaters should be used, they may be con­trolled by outdoor thermostats (OT18-60A or OT/EHR18-60A).
DEFROST CYCLE
Package Heat Pumps
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 34° 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 60° 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.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
The owner should be made aware of the fact, that, as with any mechanical equipment, Package Cooling and Heat Pump units require regularly scheduled maintenance to preserve high per­formance standards, prolong the service life of the equipment, and lessen the chances of costly failure.
In many instances the owner may be able to perform some of the maintenance; however, the advantage of a service con­tract, which places all maintenance in the hands of a trained serviceman, should be pointed out to the owner.
WARNING
ONCE A MONTH
1. Inspect the return filters of the evaporator unit and clean or change if necessary.
NOTE: Depending on operation conditions, it may be necessary to clean the filters more often. If permanent type filters are used, they should be washed with warm water, dried and sprayed with an adhesive according to manufacturers recommendations.
2. When operating on the cooling cycle, inspect the conden­sate line piping from the evaporator coil. Make sure the piping is clear for proper condensate flow.
ONCE A YEAR
Qualified Service Personnel Only
1. Clean the indoor and outdoor coils.
2. Clean the casing of the outdoor unit inside and out .
3. Motors are permanently lubricated and do not require oil­ing. TO AVOID PREMATURE MOTOR FAILURE, DO NOT OIL.
4. Manually rotate the outdoor fan and indoor blower to be sure they run freely.
5. Inspect the control panel wiring, compressor connections, and all other component wiring to be sure all connections are tight. Inspect wire insulation to be certain that it is good.
6. Check the contacts of the compressor contactor. If they are burned or pitted, replace the contactor.
7. Using a halide or electronic leak detector, check all piping and etc. for refrigerant leaks.
8. Check the combustion chamber (Heat Exchanger) for soot, scale, etc. Inspect all burners for lint and proper position­ing.
9. Start the system, using the proper instrumentation check gas inlet and manifold pressures, burner flame and microamp signal. Adjust if necessary.
10.Start the system and run both a Cooling & Heating Perfor­mance Test. If the results of the test are not satisfactory, see the "Service Problem Analysis" Chart of the possible cause.
TEST EQUIPMENT
Proper test equipment for accurate diagnosis is as essential as regular hand tools.
The following is a must for every service technician and service shop:
1. Thermocouple type temperature meter - measure dry bulb temperature.
2. Sling psychrometer- measure relative humidity and wet bulb temperature.
3. Amprobe - measure amperage and voltage.
4. Volt-Ohm Meter - testing continuity, capacitors, and motor windings.
5. Accurate Leak Detector - testing for refrigerant leaks.
6. High Vacuum Pump - evacuation.
7. Electric Vacuum Gauge, Manifold Gauges and high vacuum hoses - to measure and obtain proper vacuum.
8. Accurate Electronic Scale - measure proper refrigerant charge.
9. Inclined Manometer - measure static pressure and pres­sure drop across coils.
Other recording type instruments can be essential in solving abnormal problems, however, in many instances they may be rented from local sources.
Proper equipment promotes faster, more efficient service, and accurate repairs with less call backs.

2. Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage across terminals L1 and L2 of the contactor for single phase units, and L3, for 3 phase units.
3. No reading - indicates open wiring, open fuse(s) no power or etc. from unit to fused disconnect service. Repair as needed.
4. With ample voltage at line voltage connectors, energize the unit.
5. Measure the voltage with the unit starting and operating, and determine the unit Locked Rotor Voltage.
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. 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 regards to either low or high voltage.

If the percentage of imbalance had exceeded 3%, it must be determined if the imbalance is in the incoming power supply or the equipment. To do this rotate the legs of the incoming power and retest voltage as shown below.

By the voltage readings we see that the imbalance rotated or traveled with the switching of the incoming legs. Therefore the power lies within the incoming power supply.
If the imbalance had not changed then the problem would lie within the equipment. Check for current leakage, shorted mo­tors, etc.

S-3B COOLING ANTICIPATOR
The cooling anticipator is a small heater (resistor) in the ther­mostat. During the "off" cycle it heats the bimetal element helping the thermostat call for the next cooling cycle. This prevents the room temperature from rising too high before the system is restarted. A properly sized anticipator should main­tain room temperature within 1 1/2 to 2 degree range.
The anticipator is supplied in the thermostat and is not to be replaced. If the anticipator should fail for any reason, the ther­mostat must be changed.
S-3C HEATING ANTICIPATOR
The heating anticipator is a wire-wound adjustable heater, which is energized during the "ON" cycle to help prevent overheating of the conditioned space.
The anticipator is a part of the thermostat and if it should fail for any reason, the thermostat must be replaced. See the follow­ing for recommended heater anticipator setting.
To determine the proper setting, use an amp meter to measure the amperage on the "W" wire going to the thermostat.
Use an amprobe as shown below. Wrap 10 turns of thermostat wire around the stationary jaw of the amprobe and divide the reading by 10.

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.

Test for continuity using a VOM and if not as above, replace the control.
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.
CAPACITOR, START SCROLL COMPRESSOR MODELS
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 hard start kits are available and may improve low voltage starting characteris­tics.
This check valve closes off high side pressure to the compres­sor after shut down allowing equalization through the scroll flanks. Equalization requires only about one or two seconds during which time the compressor may turn backwards.
Your unit comes with a 180-second anti-short cycle to prevent the compressor from starting and running backwards.
MODELS EQUIPPED WITH A HARD START DEVICE
A start capacitor is wired in parallel with the run capacitor to increase the starting torque. The start capacitor is of the elec­trolytic type, rather than metallized polypropylene as used in the run capacitor.
A switching device must be wired in series with the capacitor to remove it from the electrical circuit after the compressor starts to run. Not removing the start capacitor will overheat the capacitor and burn out the compressor windings.
These capacitors have a 15,000 ohm, 2 watt resistor wired across its terminals. The object of the resistor is to discharge the capacitor under certain operating conditions, rather than having it discharge across the closing of the contacts within the switching device such as the Start Relay, and to reduce the chance of shock to the servicer. See the Servicing Section for specific information concerning capacitors.
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.

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 procedure 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. The three phase internal overload will open all three legs.
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.

2. Using an ohmmeter, check heater continuity - should test continuous, if not, replace.
S-21 CHECKING REVERSING VALVE AND SOLENOID
Occasionally the reversing valve may stick in the heating or cooling position or in the mid-position.
When stuck in the mid-position, part of the discharge gas from the compressor is directed back to the suction side, resulting in excessively high suction pressure. An increase in the suc­tion line temperature through the reversing valve can also be measured. Check operation of the valve by starting the sys­tem and switching the operation from COOLING to HEATING cycle.
If the valve fails to change its position, test the voltage (24V) at the valve coil terminals, while the system is on the COOLING cycle.
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-100 REFRIGERATION REPAIR PRACTICE
DANGER
ALWAYS REMOVE THE REFRIGERANT CHARGE IN A PROPER MANNER BEFORE APPLYING HEAT TO THE SYSTEM.
These models use the FasTest Access Fitting System, with a saddle that is either soldered to the suction and liquid lines or is fastened with a locking nut to the access fitting box (core) and then screwed into the saddle. Do not remove the core
from the saddle until the refrigerant charge has been removed. Failure to do so could result in property dam­age or personal injury.
When installing a new core or reinstalling the core after re­moval, it is very important to note that before inserting the core into the saddle, the core and saddle must be free of debris and the “O” Ring must have a thin coating of refrigerant oil applied to it. The oil is to prevent the “O” Ring from being deformed when the core is tightened completely. The core should be torqued to 8 ft. lb.
When repairing the refrigeration system:
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.
At any time the system has been open for repair, the factory installed liquid line filter drier must be replaced.
S-101 LEAK TESTING
Refrigerant leaks are best detected with a halide or electronic leak detector.
However, on outdoor installed systems, provisions must be made to shield the copper element of an halide torch from the sun and wind conditions in order to be able to see the element properly.
NOTE: The flame of the halide detector will glow green in the presence of R-22 refrigerant.
For a system that contains a refrigerant charge and is sus­pected of having a leak, stop the operation and hold the explor­ing tube of the detector as close to the tube as possible, check all piping and fittings. If a leak is detected, do not attempt to apply more brazing to the joint. Remove and capture the charge, unbraze the joint, clean and rebraze.
For a system that has been newly repaired and does not con­tain a charge, connect a cylinder of refrigerant, through a gauge manifold, to the liquid and suction line dill valves and/or liquid line dill valve and compressor process tube.
NOTE: Refrigerant hoses must be equipped with dill valve de­pressors or special adaptor used. Open the valve on the cylin­der and manifold and allow the pressure to build up within the system. Check for and handle leaks, as described above. After the test has been completed, remove and capture the leak test refrigerant.
S-102 EVACUATION
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-condensable) 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 and oil to form corrosive hydrofluoric and hydrochloric acids. These 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.

5. Evacuate the system to at least 29 inches gauge before opening valve to thermocouple vacuum gauge.
6. Continue to evacuate to a minimum 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.
7. If thermocouple vacuum gauge continues to rise and levels off at about 5000 microns, moisture and non-condensables are still present. If gauge continues to rise a leak is present. Repair and re-evacuate.
8. Close valve to thermocouple vacuum gauge and vacuum pump. Shut off pump and prepare to charge.
S-103 CHARGING
Charge the system with the exact amount of refrigerant. Refer to the specification section or check the unit nameplates
for the correct refrigerant charge. After completing airflow measurements and adjustments, the
unit’s refrigerant charge must be checked. The unit comes factory charged, but this charge is based on 400 CFM per ton at minimum ESP per ARI test conditions (generally between .15 - .25 ESP). When air quantity or ESP is different than above, charge must be adjusted to the proper amount.
All package units are charged to the superheat method at the compressor suction line (these are fixed orifice devices).
For charging in the warmer months, 100F superheat at the com­pressor is required at conditions: 950F outdoor ambient (dry bulb temperature), 800F dry bulb / 670F wet bulb indoor ambi­ent, approximately 50% humidity. This superheat varies when conditions vary from the conditions described.
A superheat charge chart is available for other operating condi­tions. Use it to provide the correct superheat at the conditions the unit is being charged at.
After superheat is adjusted it is recommended to check unit sub-cooling at the condenser coil liquid line out. In most oper­ating conditions 10 - 150F of sub-cooling is adequate.
An inaccurately charged system will cause future problems.
1. Using a charging scale, 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. DO NOT charge in a liquid form.
4. With the system still running, close the valve on the charg­ing manifold. At this time, you may still have some liquid refrigerant in the charging manifold 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 manifold into the suction service valve port. CAREFUL: Watch so that liquid refrigerant does not enter the compressor.

5. With the system still running, reseat the suction valve core, remove hose and reinstall both valve core caps.
6. Check system for leaks.
Units having flow control restrictors can be checked against the Desired Superheat vs. Outdoor Temperature Chart in this section.
S-104 CHECKING COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY
The reason for compressor inefficiency is broken or damaged suction and/or discharge valves, or scroll flanks on Scroll com­pressors, reducing the ability of the compressor to pump re­frigerant vapor.
The condition of the valves or 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-
Below normal high side pressure. Above normal low side pressure. Low temperature difference across coil. Low amp draw at compressor.
-and the charge is correct. The compressor is faulty - replace
the compressor.
S-108 SUPERHEAT
To obtain the degrees temperature of superheat subtract 50.0 from 63.0°F.
The difference is 13° Superheat. For charging in the warmer months, 10°F superheat at the
compressor is required at conditions: 95°F outdoor ambient (dry bulb temperature), 80°F dry bulb / 67°F wet bulb indoor ambient, approximately 50 % humidity. This superheat varies when conditions vary from the conditions described. A superheat charge chart is provided below for other operating conditions. Use it to provide the correct superheat at the conditions the unit is being charged at. After superheat is adjusted it is recommended to check unit sub-cooling at the condenser coil liquid line out.

CHECKING SUPERHEAT
Refrigerant gas is considered superheated whenever 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.
1. Attach an accurate thermometer or preferably a thermo­couple type temperature tester to the suction line at a point at least 6" from the compressor.
2. Install a low side pressure gauge on the suction line ser­vice valve at the outdoor unit.
3. Record the gauge pressure and the temperature of the line.
4. Convert the suction 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.
5. The difference between the thermometer reading and pres­sure to temperature conversion is the amount of super­heat.
EXAMPLE:
a. Suction Pressure = 84 b. Corresponding Temp. °F. = 50 c. Thermometer on Suction Line = 63°F.

S-111 FIXED ORIFICE RESTRICTION DEVICES
The fixed orifice restriction 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 restriction 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.
If a restriction should become evident, proceed as follows:
1. Recover refrigerant charge.
2. Remove the orifice assembly and clean or 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 restric­tion 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.
If a restriction is located, replace the restricted part, replace drier, evacuate and recharge.
S-113 REFRIGERANT OVERCHARGE
An overcharge of refrigerant is normally indicated by exces­sively high head pressure and/or liquid return to the compres­sor.
Evaporator coils with a fixed orifice metering device could allow refrigerant to return to the compressor under extreme overcharge conditions.
If high head pressure is not indicated, an overcharge or a sys­tem containing non-condensables could be the problem.
If overcharging is indicated:
1. Start the system.
2. Remove 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. See S-114 Non­Condensables.
S-114 NON-CONDENSABLES
Check for non-condensables.
1. Shut down the system and allow the pressures to equalize for a minimum of 15 minutes.
2. Take a pressure reading.
3. Compare this 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.
To remove the non-condensables.
1. Remove the refrigerant charge.
2. Replace and/or install liquid line drier
3. Evacuate and recharge.
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.
Now determine if a burn out has actually occurred. Confirm by analyzing an oil sample using a Sporlan Acid Test Kit, AK-3 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 cleanup is not necessary.
If acid level is unacceptable the system must be cleaned by using the drier cleanup method.
38
SERVICING
CAUTION
DO NOT ALLOW THE SLUDGE OR OIL TO CONTACT THE SKIN, SEVERE BURNS MAY RESULT.
Suction Line Drier Clean-up Method
Discard at least twelve (12) inches of the suction line immedi­ately out of the compressor stub due to burned residue and contaminates.
1. Remove compressor discharge line strainer, liquid line strainer and/or drier and capillary tubes from indoor and outdoor coils.
2. Units with an expansion valve coil, 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 liner drier.
5. Install suction line drier.
6. Braze all joints, leak test, evacuate, and recharge system.
7. Start up the unit and record the pressure drop across the cleanup drier.
8. 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 - 8 PSIG.
9. 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 - 8 PSIG, the drier must be adequate and is trapping the contaminants and it is permissible to leave it in the system.
10.If the pressure drop becomes greater, then it must be re­placed and steps 5 through 9 repeated until it does not exceed 6 - 8 PSIG.
NOTE: The cause for burnout MUST be determined and cor- rected BEFORE the new compressor is started.
Wrap the reversing valve with a large rag saturated with water. "Re-wet" the rag and thoroughly cool the valve after each braz­ing operation of the four joints involved. The wet rag around the reversing valve will eliminate conduction of heat to the valve body when brazing the line connection.
The use of a wet rag sometimes can be a nuisance. There are commercial grades of heat absorbing paste that may be sub­stituted.
After the valve has been installed, leak test, evacuate and re­charge.
S-200 CHECKING EXTERNAL STATIC PRESSURE
The minimum and maximum allowable duct static pressure is found in the Technical Information Manual.
Too great of an external static pressure will result in insuffi­cient air that can cause icing of the coil, whereas too much air can cause poor humidity control, and condensate to be pulled off the evaporator coil causing condensate leakage. Too much air can cause motor overloading and in many cases this con­stitutes a poorly designed system. 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).
S-122 REVERSING VALVE REPLACEMENT
Remove the refrigerant charge from the system. When brazing a reversing valve into the system, it is of ex-
treme importance that the temperature of the valve does not
exceed 250°F. at any time.
Total External Static
39
SERVICING
2. Measure the static pressure of the supply duct, (Positive Pressure).
3. Add the two readings together.
NOTE: Both readings may be taken simultaneously and read directly on the manometer as shown in the illustration above, if so desired.
4. Consult proper table for quantity of air.
If the external static pressure exceeds the minimum or maxi­mum allowable statics, check for closed dampers, dirty filters, undersized or poorly laid out ductwork.
S-201 CHECKING TEMPERATURE RISE
Temperature rise is related to the BTUH output of the unit and the amount of air (CFM) circulated over the indoor coil.
All units are designed for a given range of temperature increase. This is the temperature of the air leaving the unit minus the temperature of the air entering the unit.
The more air (CFM) being delivered through a given unit the less the rise will be; so the less air (CFM) being delivered, the greater the rise. The temperature rise should be adjusted in accordance to a given unit specifications and its external static pressure.
1. Take entering and leaving air temperatures.
2. Select the proper speed tap from the unit's blower perfor­mance data in the Technical Manual for the specific unit.
3. Take motor amperage draw to determine that the motor is not overloaded during adjustments.
