Mechanical Installation

Installer Responsibilities

The installation of this equipment shall be in accordance with the regulations of authorities having jurisdiction and all applicable codes. It is the responsibility of the installer to determine and follow the applicable codes.
CAUTION
Sharp edges on sheet metal and fasteners can cause personal injury. This equipment must be installed, operated,
and serviced only by an experienced installation company and fully trained personnel.

Receiving Inspection

When the equipment is received, all items should be carefully checked against the bill of lading to be sure all crates and cartons have been received. If the unit has become dirty
during shipment (winter road chemicals are of particular concern), clean it when received.
Figure 1: Service Clearances
All units should be carefully inspected for damage when received. Report all shipping damage to the carrier and file a claim. In most cases, equipment is shipped F.O.B. factory and claims for freight damage should be filed by the consignee.
Before unloading the unit, check the unit nameplate to make sure the voltage complies with the power supply available.

Service Clearance

Allow service clearances as approximately indicated in Figure 1. Also, McQuay recommends providing a roof walkway to the rooftop unit as well as along each side of the unit that provides access to most controls and serviceable components.

Mechanical Installation

Ventilation Clearance

Below are minimum ventilation clearance recommendations. The system designer must consider each application and provide adequate ventilation. If this is not done, the unit may not perform properly.
Unit(s) Surrounded by a Screen or a Fence:
1 The bottom of the screen or fence should be at least 1 ft.
(305 mm) above the roof surface.
2 The distance between the unit and a screen or fence should
be as described in Figure 1 on page 4.
3 The distance between any two units within a screen or
fence should be at least 120" (3048 mm).
Unit(s) Surrounded by Solid Walls:
1 If there are walls on one or two adjacent sides of the unit,
the walls may be any height. If there are walls on more than two adjacent sides of the unit, the walls should not be higher than the unit.
2 The distance between the unit and the wall should be at
least 96" (2438 mm) on all sides of the unit.
3 The distance between any two units within the walls should
be at least 120" (3048 mm).
Do not locate outside air intakes near sources of contaminated air.
If the unit is installed where windy conditions are common, install wind screens around the unit, maintaining the clearances specified (see Figure 1). This is particularly important to maintain adequate head pressure control when mechanical cooling is required at low outdoor air temperatures.
Note: Low head pressure may lead to poor and erratic
refrigerant feed control at the thermostatic expansion valve. The unit has automatic control of the condenser fans which should provide adequate head pressure control down to 20°F provided the unit is not exposed to windy conditions. The system designer is responsible for assuring the condensing section is not exposed to excessive wind or air recirculation.

Overhead Clearance

1 Unit(s) surrounded by screens or solid walls must have no
overhead obstructions over any part of the unit.
2 The area above the condenser must be unobstructed in all
installations to allow vertical air discharge.
3 The following restrictions must be observed for overhead
obstructions above the air handler section:
a There must be no overhead obstructions above the
furnace flue, or within 9" (229 mm) of the flue box.
b Overhead obstructions must be no less than 96"
(2438 mm) above the top of the unit.
c There must be no overhead obstructions in the areas
above the outside air and exhaust dampers that are farther than 24" (610 mm) from the side of the unit.

Roof Curb Assembly and Installation

Locate the roof curb and unit on a portion of the roof that can support the weight of the unit. The unit must be supported to prevent bending or twisting of the machine.
If building construction allows sound and vibration into the occupied space, locate the unit over a non-critical area. It is the responsibility of the system designer to make adequate provisions for noise and vibration in the occupied
space.
WARNING
Mold can cause personal injury. Some materials such as
gypsum wall board can promote mold growth when damp. Such materials must be protected from moisture that can enter units during maintenance or normal operation.
Install the curb and unit level to allow the condensate drain to flow properly and allow service access doors to open and close without binding.
The gasketed top surface of the curb seals against the unit when it is set on the curb. These flanges must not support the total weight of the duct work. See “Installing Ductwork” on page 12 for details on duct connections. It is critical that the condensate drain side of the unit be no higher than the opposite side.
Assembly Instructions
Assembly of a typical roof curb is shown in Figure 2.
1 Set curbing parts A thru G per dimensions shown over roof
opening or on a level surface. Note location of supply air opening. Check alignment of all mating screw holes.
2 Screw curbing parts together using fasteners provided.
Leave all screws loose until curb is checked to be square.
3 Square entire curbing assembly and securely tighten all
screws.
4 Position curb assembly over roof openings. Curb must be
level within .25 inches from side to side and 1.50 inches over its length. Check that top surface of curb is flat with no bowing or sagging.
5 Weld curb assembly in place. Caulk all seams watertight.
Remove backing from .25 x 1.50 wide gasket and apply to surfaces shown by crosshatching.
6 Check that electrical connections are coordinated.

Rigging and Handling

WARNING
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to rig loads or operate load rated cranes and/or hoist assemblies. Do not use a forklift to lift or maneuver the unit. Failure to use a load rated crane or hoist assembly to lift or maneuver the unit can cause severe personal injury and property damage.
WARNING
Use all lifting points. Improper lifting can cause property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
CAUTION
Lifting points may not be symmetrical to the center of gravity of the unit. Ballast or unequal cable lengths may be
required.
Rigging holes for shackles are integral on the unit base. All six lifting points must be used for rigging the equipment. Use four independent lines, securing one end of a line to a unit base lifting point and the other end of the line to an associated spreader bar lifting point (see Figure 7). Figure 6
is an example of an instruction label shipped with each unit.
Figure 6: Rigging Label
Use spreader bars, 96" to 100" (2438 to 2540 mm) wide to prevent damage to the unit cabinet. Avoid twisting or uneven lifting of the unit. The cable length from the bracket to the hook should always be longer than the distance between the outer lifting points.
If the unit is stored at the construction site for an intermediate period, take these additional precautions:
1 Support the unit well along the length of the base rail.
2 Level the unit (no twists or uneven ground surface).
3 Provide proper drainage around the unit to prevent flooding
of the equipment.
4 Provide adequate protection from vandalism, mechanical
contact, etc.
5 Securely close the doors.
6 Cover the supply and return air openings.
Table 2 lists the weight distribution at each of the six lifting points on the unit (refer to Figure 7 on page 11). Table 3 details

Unit Piping - Condensate Drain Connection

The unit is provided with a 1" female NPT condensate drain connection. For proper drainage, level the unit and drain pan side to side and install a P-trap.
Figure 8 shows the layout of the condensate drain connection. The distance from the drain pan outlet to the horizontal run of the P-trap should be a distance of twice the static pressure in the drain pan.
Example: If the static pressure as measured in the drain pan is
1.5", then the distance between the drain outlet and the horizontal run should be 3".
Draining condensate directly onto the roof may be acceptable; refer to local codes. Provide a small drip pad of stone, mortar, wood, or metal to protect the roof against possible damage.
If condensate is piped into the building drainage system, pitch the drain line away from the unit a minimum of 1/8" per foot. The drain line must penetrate the roof external to the unit. Refer to local codes for additional requirements. Sealed drain lines require venting to provide proper condensate flow.
Where the cooling coils have intermediate condensate pans on the face of the evaporator coil, copper tubes near both ends of the coil supply drainage to the main drain pan. Verify the tubes are in place and open before putting the unit into operation.
Periodically clean to prevent microbial growth/algae buildup from plugging the drain and causing the drain pan to overflow. Clean drain pans to prevent the spread of disease. Cleaning
should be performed by qualified personnel
WARNING
Drain pans must be cleaned periodically. Material in uncleaned drain pans can cause disease.
Cleaning should be performed by qualified personnel.

Damper Assemblies

The optional damper assemblies described in this section are ordered with factory-installed actuators and linkages. The following sections describe the operation and linkage adjustment of the factory option.
Figure 9: Damper Assembly
Economizer Dampers
As the single actuator modulates, the outside air dampers open, the return air dampers close, and the exhaust air exits the unit through the gravity relief dampers.
The economizer comes with manually adjustable linkage (Figure 9). The damper is set so that the crankarm moves through a 90-degree angle to bring the economizer dampers from full open to full close. Mechanical stops are placed in the crankarm mounting bracket. Do not remove stops. Driving the crankarm past the stops results in damage to the linkage or damper.
Outdoor Air Dampers (0% to 30%)
These dampers are intended to remain at a fixed position during unit operation, providing fresh air quantities from 0 to 30% of the total system airflow, depending on the damper setting.
The damper position may be set at the unit controller keypad (refer to OM 920 for further detail). During unit operation, the damper is driven to the position set at the unit controller. During the off cycle, the damper is automatically closed.

Cabinet Weather Protection

This unit ships from the factory with fully gasketed access doors and cabinet caulking to provide weather resistant operation. After the unit is set in place, inspect all door gaskets for shipping damage and replace if necessary.
Protect the unit from overhead runoff from overhangs or other such structures.
CAUTION
Transportation, rigging, or maintenance can damage the unit’s weather seal. Periodically inspect the unit for leakage.
Standing moisture can promote microbial growth, disease, or damage to the equipment and building.

Installing Ductwork

On vertical-supply/vertical-return units, if a McQuay roof curb is not used, the installing contractor should make an airtight connection by attaching field fabricated duct collars to the bottom surface of the unit’s duct opening. Do not support the total weight of the duct work from the unit. See Figure 4 on page 8 or Figure 5 on page 9.
Use flexible connections between the unit and ductwork to avoid transmission of vibration from the unit to the structure.
To minimize losses and sound transmission, design duct work per ASHRAE and SMACNA recommendations.
Where return air ducts are not required, connect a sound absorbing T or L section to the unit return to reduce noise
transmission to the occupied space.
WARNING
Mold can cause personal injury. Materials such as gypsum
wall board can promote mold growth when damp. Such materials must be protected from moisture that can enter units during maintenance or normal operation.
Ductwork exposed to outdoor conditions must be built in accordance with ASHRAE and SMACNA recommendations
and local building codes
.

Installing Duct Static Pressure Sensor Taps

For all VAV units, duct static pressure taps must be field installed and connected to the static pressure sensor 1 (SPS1) in the unit. Sensor SPS1 is standard on VAV units and is located in the main control panel.
Carefully locate and install the duct static pressure sensing tap. Improperly locating or installing the sensing tap causes unsatisfactory operation of the entire variable air volume system. Below are pressure tap location and installation recommendations. The installation must comply with local code requirements.

2 Use different colored tubing for the duct pressure (HI) and
reference pressure (LO) taps, or tag the tubes. McQuay recommends 1/8" ID tubing.
3 Locate the duct pressure (HI) tap near the end of a long
duct to ensure that all terminal box take-offs along the run have adequate static pressure.
4 Locate the duct tap in a nonturbulent flow area of the duct.
Keep it several duct diameters away from take-off points, bends, neckdowns, attenuators, vanes, or other irregularities.
5 Use a static pressure tip (Dwyer A302 or equivalent) or the
bare end of the plastic tubing for the duct tap. (If the duct is lined inside, use a static pressure tip device.)
6 Install the duct tap so that it senses only static pressure (not
velocity pressure). If a bare tube end is used, it must be smooth, square (not cut at an angle) and perpendicular to the airstream (see Figure 11).
7 Locate the reference pressure (LO) tap near the duct
pressure tap within the building. If the tap is not connected to the sensor, unsatisfactory operation will result.
8 Route the tubes through the curb and feed them into the
unit through the knockout in the bottom of the control panel (see Figure 10). Connect the tubes to appropriate barbed fittings (on SPS1) in the control panel. (Fittings are sized to accept 1/8" ID tubing.)
Figure 10: Static Pressure Tubing Knockout Location
Figure 11: Duct Static Pressure Sensing Tubing Installation

Installing Building Static Pressure Sensor Taps

If a unit has building static pressure control capability, you must field install and connect static pressure taps to the static pressure sensor SPS2 in the unit. This sensor is located at the bottom of the main control panel next to SPS1.
Carefully locate and install the two static pressure sensing taps. Improper location or installation of the sensor taps causes unsatisfactory operation. Below are pressure tap location and installation recommendations for both building envelope and lab, or “space within a space” pressure control applications.
The installation must comply with local code requirements.
CAUTION
Fragile sensor fittings. If you must remove tubing from a
pressure sensor fitting, use care. Do not use excessive force or wrench the tubing back and forth to remove or the fitting can break off and damage sensor.
McQuay IM 1058 13
Mechanical Installation
Building Pressurization Applications
1 Install a tee fitting with a leak-tight removable cap in each
tube near the sensor fitting. This facilitates connecting a manometer or pressure gauge if testing is required.
2 Locate the building pressure (high) tap in the area that
requires the closest control. Typically, this is a ground level floor that has doors to the outside.
3 Locate the building tap so it is not influenced by any source
of moving air (velocity pressure). These sources may include air diffusers or outside doors.
4 Route the building tap tube through the curb and feed it into
the unit through the knockout in the bottom of the control panel (refer to Figure 10). Connect the 1/8" ID tube to the (high) fitting for sensor SPS2.
5 Locate the reference pressure (low) tap on the roof. Keep it
away from the condenser fans, walls, or anything else that may cause air turbulence. Mount it high enough above the roof so it is not affected by snow. Not connecting the reference tap to the sensor results in unsatisfactory operation.
6 Use an outdoor static pressure tip (Dwyer A306 or
equivalent) to minimize the adverse effects of wind. Place some type of screen over the sensor to keep out insects. Loosely packed cotton works well.
7 Route the outdoor tap tube out of the main control panel
through a small field-cut opening in the upright. Seal the penetration to prevent water from entering. Connect the 1/8" ID tube to the (low) fitting for sensor SPS2.
Lab Pressurization Applications
1 Install a “T” fitting with a leak-tight removable cap in each
tube near the sensor fitting. This facilitates connecting a manometer or pressure gauge if testing is required.
2 Use different colored tubing for the controlled space
pressure (high) and reference pressure (low) taps, or tag the tubes.
3 Regardless whether the controlled space is positive or
negative with respect to its reference, locate the high pressure tap in the controlled space (the setpoint can be set between -0.2" and 0.2" wc).
4 Locate the reference pressure (low) tap in the area
surrounding the controlled space. Not locating the reference tap to the sensor results in unsatisfactory operation.
5 Locate both taps so they are not influenced by any source
of moving air (velocity pressure). These sources may include air diffusers or doors between the high and low pressure areas.
6 Route the building tap tube between the curb and the
supply duct and feed it into the unit through the knockout in the bottom of the control panel.
7 Connect the tube to the (high) fitting for sensor SPS2.

Gas Furnace Design

If the 8th digit in the model number is a “G”, the rooftop unit was furnished with a factory installed furnace (Example, MPS035FG). The Maverick commercial rooftop units are available with either the low heat input or the high heat input furnace (see capacities in Table 9). This packaged gas heat rooftop unit is designed for outdoor non-residential installations only.
The gas heat furnace design consists of a tubular heat exchanger, in-shot burner manifold with gas valve, induced combustion blower, gas heat DDC control module and all operational safeties. The tubular heat exchanger can come with the standard aluminized steel construction or the optional stainless steel construction. The safety switches include a high­limit temperature switch (Figure 15), an auxiliary high-limit switch (Figure 15), a combustion blower proof of airflow (see Figure 16), and the flame roll-out switch (see Figure 16).
The high limit switch is an automatic reset switch and it opens up at 160°F to shut the furnace down and closes at 130°F. The auxiliary limit switch is a manual reset and opens up at 180°F to shut the furnace down.

Warranty Exclusion
Warranty is void if the furnace is operated in the presence of chlorinated vapors, if the airflow through the furnace is not in accordance with rating plate, or if the wiring or controls have
been modified or tampered with.
WARNING
Hot surface hazard. Can cause severe equipment damage, personal injury, or death. Allow burner assembly to cool
before servicing equipment.
WARNING
Units equipped with gas heating must not be operated in an atmosphere contaminated with chemicals which will corrode the unit such as halogenated hydrocarbons, chlorine, cleaning solvents, refrigerants, swimming pool exhaust, etc. Exposure to these compounds may cause severe damage to the gas furnace and result in improper or dangerous operation. Operation of the gas furnace in such
a contaminated atmosphere constitutes product abuse and will void all warranty coverage by the manufacturer. Questions regarding specific contaminants should be referred to your local gas utility.
Ventilation & Flue Pipe Requirements
The McQuay rooftop unit is equipped with an outdoor air hood to supply adequate combustion air. The unit also has a flue outlet assembly and requires no additional chimney, flue pipe, Breidert cap, draft inducer, etc.
Factory Checkout
This complete furnace was fired and tested at the factory. The unit was fired through several complete sequences of start-up through shutoff to check operation. A check was made of the air switch, gas pressure switch, high limit operation.
This checkout normally eliminates on-the-job start-up problems; however, the equipment is subject to variable job conditions and shipping shocks can change adjustments, cause damage, and loosen connections and fasteners. Therefore, it is necessary to go through the complete start-up procedure even though the unit may appear to be operating properly.
McQuay IM 1058 19
Optional Gas Heat

Installation

IMPORTANT
This furnace must be installed by an experienced professional installation company that employs fully trained and experienced technicians. Install the furnace in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and local codes. In the absence of local codes, follow the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
WARNING
Sharp edges hazard. Can cause personal injury or death.
Sheet metal parts, self-tapping screws, clips, and similar items inherently have sharp edges, and it is necessary that the installer exercise caution when handling these items.
Flue Box
The flue box (Figure 17) is not installed at the factory because it would increase the width of the unit beyond the allowable shipping width.
Figure 17: Flue Box Installation
3 Line assembly holes up.
4 Install screws to fasten the flue box to the side of the unit.
Outdoor Air (OA) Hood

Optional Gas Heat
Electrical
The McQuay burner receives its electrical power from the main unit control panel. No additional power wiring must be routed to the burner. The sequencing of the burner is also controlled through this panel and therefore is factory wired. No additional wiring will be required.
DANGER
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. A. This appliance does not have a pilot. It is equipped with an
ignition device which automatically lights the burner. Do not try to light the burner by hand. B. Before operating, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
Do not try to light any appliance.
Do not touch any electric switch, do not use any phone in
your building.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by hand, don't try to repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion. D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
Gas Piping
Gas piping must be sized to provide the minimum required pressure at the burner when the burner is operating at maximum input. Consult your local utility on any questions on gas pressure available, allowing piping pressure drops, and local piping requirements.
Install all piping in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1), (NFPA 54-1999) and any applicable local codes.
The proper size piping must be run from the meter to the gas burner without reductions. Undersized piping will result in inadequate pressure at the burner. The pressure will be at its lowest when it is needed the most, at times of maximum demand. Therefore, it can cause intermittent hard-to-find problems because the problem may have left before the service technician has arrived. Avoid the use of bushings wherever possible.
Remove all burrs and obstructions from pipe. Do not bend pipe; use elbows or other pipe fittings to properly locate pipe.
A drip leg and a manual shut-off must be installed in the vertical line before each burner such that it will not freeze. Install unions so gas train components can be removed for service. All pipe threads must have a pipe dope which is resistant to the action of LP gas. After installation, pressurize the piping as required and test all joints for tightness with a rich soap solution. Any bubbling is considered a leak and must be eliminated. Do not use a match or flame to locate leaks.
Gas Pressure Requirements
The pressure furnished to the main gas valve must not exceed
13.9" wc. When the supply pressure is above 13.9" wc, a high pressure regulator must precede the appliance gas pressure regulator. The inlet gas pressure must not exceed the maximum pressure rating of the high pressure regulator, and the outlet pressure must furnish gas to the appliance pressure regulator within the pressure range mentioned above.

Start-Up Procedures

Start-Up Responsibility
The start-up organization is responsible for determining that the furnace, as installed and as applied, will operate within the limits specified on the furnace rating plate.
1 The furnace must not operate at an airflow below the
specified Minimum Airflow CFM (refer to Table 9 on page 18). On variable air volume systems it must be determined that the furnace will not be operated if or when system cfm is reduced below the specified minimum airflow cfm.
2 It must be established that the gas supply is within the

Optional Gas Heat

Variable Furnace Controller

McQuay's furnace controller is an electronic device that delivers full control of the modulating furnace. Control includes sequencing, ignition, safety, modulation of the control valve, and the induced draft motor. Inputs to the furnace control board are an a 0-10V signal. The analog signal will modulate the burner down to 25% of full load. Safety inputs include pressure line and electrical connection from the airflow proofing switch and electrical connection from the rollout switches. Control board outputs are to the igniter board, modulating gas valve, and to the induce draft motor.

Electric Heater Design

Optional Electric Heat
If the 8th digit in the model number is an “E”, the rooftop unit

was furnished with a factory installed electric furnace (Example, MPS035FE). The Maverick commercial rooftop units are available with low, medium, or high heat output (see capacities in Table 15). This packaged electric heat rooftop unit is designed for outdoor non-residential installations only.
The electric heat design consists of a heating coil, DDC staging control, and all operational safeties. The safety switches include high-limit temperature switches and individual coil fusing.
The high limit switch is an automatic reset switch. It opens the control circuit and shuts the heater down when the temperature reaches 160°F. The high limit switch closes again allows the heater to run when the temperature gets to 130°F. There is a second level of protection with an auxiliary high limit switch. This switch opens up and shuts the heater down when the temperature reaches 250°F. The auxiliary switch automatically resets again at 220°F. The third level of protection is the secondary auxiliary high limit switch which shut the heater down at 285°F. This switch requires a manual reset.

Optional Modulating Hot Gas Reheat

Optional Modulating Hot Gas Reheat

Modulating Hot Gas Reheat

The reheat coil option comes complete with an aluminum micro channel coil and modulating hot gas valves for leaving air temperature control.
On a call for dehumidification, the unit will enable the supply to be over-cooled by the DX coil. Hot gas from the unit
Figure 23: Dual 2-Way Valve Refrigeration Schematic
condenser will be routed to an indoor coil downstream of the DX coil to reheat the air. Hot gas reheat valves (Figure 23) will control how much hot gas is routed to the indoor coil to maintain a discharge air setpoint.
30 McQuay IM 1058
Optional Modulating Hot Gas Reheat
Figure 24: Ideal for Neutral Air Ventilation Control
Dehumidification Initiation
An analog sensor is mounted in the return duct, the space, or outdoors to sense Relative Humidity. The location is selected by setting the Sensor Location value on the keypad to Return, Space, or OAT. OAT can only be selected for units with DAT control. Dehumidification is disabled when the unit is in either the Heating or Minimum DAT state. When Dehumidification is enabled, Dehumidification operation is initiated when Humidity Control is set to either Relative Humidity or Dew Point and that value rises above the appropriate setpoint by more than half its deadband. Economizer operation is disabled in the Dehumidification mode so the unit immediately transitions to Cooling if Dehumidification is initiated in Economizer state.
Dehumidification Termination
Dehumidification is terminated if the selected variable, Relative Humidity or Dew Point, drops below the appropriate humidity setpoint by more than half its deadband. Dehumidification is also terminated if cooling is disabled for any reason or the unit enters either the Heating or Minimum DAT state. For units with compressors, the number of cooling stages is reduced by one and control reverts to normal control when dehumidification is terminated in the Cooling state. Another compressor stage change could then occur after one Cooling Stage Time has elapsed.
Control & Arrangement
In conjunction with dehumidification, MHGRH is used to raise the temperature of the cooled air to a desirable value. MHGRH is comprised of a parallel coil arrangement, with both the condenser and reheat coils of the micro channel type, dual reheat valves (which operate in concert with one another) and a check valve. MHGRH components will always be installed in circuit #2.
During Dehumidification control w/ modulating Hot Gas Reheat (MHGRH) an analog signal (0-10Vdc) is controlled as described below.
A PI Loop is used to control the HGRH valves to maintain the Discharge Air Temperature from the reheat coil.
Compressor staging during reheat (or dehumidification) will be controlled by the Leaving DX Coil Temperature. For increased dehumidification during reheat, the standard default compressor staging range is 45 - 52°F.
When dehumidification is active in the Cooling state, the reheat set point equals the DAT Cooling Setpoint. For DAT units, this is the normal DAT set point resulting from any reset. For Zone Control units, this set point is the result of a PI Loop based on the Control Temperature.
Communication with the reheat control valves is accomplished by providing a 0-10Vdc signal to a pair of interface boards which in turn supply the control signal to the reheat valves (step type).
In the Fan Only state, no sensible cooling is required, but dehumidification mode will still be enabled if the dew point or humidity sensor is not satisfied. Reheat set point varies from a maximum value (default 65°F) when the Control Temperature is at or below the heating changeover setpoint to a minimum value (default 55°F) when the Control Temperature is at or above the cooling changeover setpoint.
Lead/Lag Arrangement w/ MHGRH (when applicable)
- Alternate staging with circuit #1 as lead will be the stan-
dard default arrangement.
- During cooling mode, circuit #1 will lead and load up
before starting circuit #2.
- During reheat mode, circuit #2 will lead and load up before
starting circuit #1.
- For reheat operation, compressor(s) in circuit #2 must be
active. If the unit is operating in the cooling mode when a call for dehumidification/reheat arises,circuit #2 will become the lead and the controller will bring on an addi­tional stage of coolingfor dehumidification. If any com­pressors in circuit #1 are operating at this moment they will be switched over to compressors in circuit #2. Dehu­midification operation is disabled if circuit #2 is disabled for any reason.
In the reheat mode, the minimum position for the reheat valves is 10% (1.0 Vdc). The controller will modulate the reheat valves from this starting position.
McQuay IM 1058 31
Optional Modulating Hot Gas Reheat
Reheat valve(s) must be at 0% (0 Vdc) position before starting the first compressor in the reheat circuit to prevent pressure spikes.
Upon termination of dehumidification (reheat), the maximum ramp down or decay rate of the reheat control valves shall be 1% per sec (or 0.1V per sec).
Upon termination of dehumidification (reheat), staging of compressor(s) is delayed for 1 minute after reheat capacity = 0% (0 Vdc).
Figure 25: Modulating Hot Gas Reheat Schematic
Every 24 hours, the reheat control valves will be driven to their maximum position (10Vdc) and then returned to their normal operating position (0Vdc). If unit is operating in cooling or dehumidification (reheat) at the prescribed time it will be deferred to the next time.
Dehumidification status can now be found under the MTIII main system menu. Reheat capacity (valve position) can also be found under the main system menu, display based on percentage (0-100%).

Optional Hot Water Heat

Hot Water Heater Design

Optional Hot Water Heat
If the 8th digit of the model number is a “W”, the rooftop unit was furnished with a factory installed hot water coil (Example: MPS035FW). The hot water coil comes with a piping vestibule for field supplied and installed control valve and piping. The coil is furnished with ODM copper connections. The Maverick commercial rooftop units are available with a low heat (one row coil) or a high heat (two row coil) configuration.
Hot water coils are not recommended for use with entering air temperatures less than 40°F (4°C). No control system can guarantee a 100% safeguard against coil freeze up. Glycol solutions or brines are the only freeze-safe media for operation of water coils at low entering air temperatures.
Figure 26: Hot Water Heating Schematic
See certified drawings for the recommended piping entrance locations. Seal all piping penetrations to prevent air and water leakage.
Note: Factory installed piping is copper. Dissimilar metal
within the plumbing system can cause galvanic corrosion. To avoid corrosion, provide proper di-electric
fittings as well as appropriate water treatment.
CAUTION
Coil freeze possible. Can damage equipment.
Follow instructions for mixing antifreeze solution. Some products have higher freeze points in natural state than when mixed with water. The freezing of coils is not the responsibility of McQuay International.

Unit Options

Unit Options

Economizer Enthalpy Control

The economizer can be ordered with the optional differential enthalpy control. With this option a solid-state humidity and temperature sensing device is located in the return and outdoor airstreams. These devices are labeled RAE and OAE respectively. When the outdoor enthalpy is lower than the return air enthalpy, the economizer operation will be initiated. If the outdoor air enthalpy is higher than the return air, the outdoor air damper position will be at the minimum setpoint. See OM 920 for further information on the economizer operation.

External Time Clock

You can use an external time clock as an alternative to (or in addition to) the MicroTech III controller’s internal scheduling function. The external timing mechanism is set up to open and close the circuit between field terminals 101 and 102. When the circuit is open, power is not supplied to binary input ID1. This is the normal condition where the controller follows the programmable internal schedule. When the circuit is closed, power is fed to ID1. The MicroTech III controller responds by placing the unit in the occupied mode, overriding any set internal schedule.

Exhaust Fan Option

Economizer units may include exhaust fan options. For units with CAV applications, the exhaust fans can be ordered as staged control or they may be ordered with building pressure control. The building pressure control option has a VFD that runs the exhaust fan motors and is controlled by the static pressure sensor number 2 (SPS2). Refer to OM 920 for setting up the unit controller with these two options. The units are only available with building pressure control on VAV units.
The exhaust fan motors are permanently lubricated and do not require any additional periodic lubrication.

Proof-of-Airflow and Dirty Filter Switch

The proof-of-airflow switch (PC7) and the dirty filter switch (PC5) are supplied on all CAV units. The tubing is installed to the switches per Figure 31. The proof of airflow switches senses the pressure difference between the positive pressure in the supply air fan compartment and the suction pressure on the leaving air side of the filters. The differential pressure is factory set at 0.25" for this switch. The dirty filter switch
senses the pressure difference across the filter; from the entering air side of the filter to the leaving air side of the filters. The switch is factory set at 1.0". When the pressure difference across the filters is sensed at this value, the dirty filter alarm will appear on the DDC controller.

All VAV units also have the PC7 and PC5 switches as standard (see Figure 31). These switches are tied into the Duct High Limit switch (DHL) as shown in Figure 31.
The DHL is factory set at 4.0". When this differential pressure is sensed the normally closed contacts will open on the switch giving the DHL alarm at the unit controller.

Duct High Pressure Limit

The duct high pressure limit control (DHL) is provided on all VAV units. The DHL protects the duct work, terminal boxes, and the unit from over pressurization, which could be caused by, for example, tripped fire dampers or control failure.
The DHL control opens when the discharge plenum pressure rises to 3.5" wc (872 Pa). This setting should be correct for most applications and should not be adjusted.
If the DHL switch opens, digital input ID9 on the Unit Control Board will be de-energized. The MicroTech III controller then shuts down the unit and enters the Off-Alarm state. The alarm must be manually cleared before the unit can start again. Refer to the operation manual supplied with your unit for more information on clearing alarms (refer to OM 920).

Operating States

Heating

Fan Only
The outside air damper will modulate to the minimum position and based upon the sensor inputs, the unit will go into one of the four running states - “Heating,” “Cooling,” “Economizing,” or “Minimum DAT.” If the control temperature is between its setpoint and its dead band, the unit will remain in the “Fan Only” state.
Heating
The unit's heating mode of operation is controlled by the control temperature and the heating setpoint temperature. The unit goes into the heating mode of operation by analyzing the control temperature.
The control temperature can be either the return temperature or the space temperature.
The return temperature is typically used for VAV units and the space temperature is typically used for CAV units.
The unit goes into the heating mode of operation when the control temperature (return or space temperature) is below the heating setpoint by more than ½ the deadband.
Example - If the heating setpoint is 68.0°F and the deadband is
1.0°F, the unit will not go into the heating mode of operation
until the control temperature reaches 67.4°F.
Start Up
With a “start up” command from the “Off” State the unit will default into the “Start Up” state of operation for 3 minutes. During this time, the fan is off.
Recirculation
Next, the unit will transition into the “Recirculation” state of operation for another 3 minutes. During this time, the outside air damper will close and the fan will turn on, thereby mixing the air in the ductwork and the space.
When this takes place, the heating mode of operation will begin and the 1st stage of heating operation will start.
The next stage, up or down, will take place after 4 minutes. This “4 minutes” is called the stage timer. The gas or electric heat module will continue to stage up as long as the control temperature is below the heating setpoint by more than ½ the heating setpoint deadband. The unit will stage down if the maximum discharge air temperature of 120°F is reached. Gas units with one gas valve have 2 stages of heating and units with two gas valves have 4 stages of heating.
Minimum DAT
This control mode is designed to temper the air in the ductwork when in heating mode. When the unit is in the “Fan Only” state and the Discharge Air Temperature is less than the minimum discharge air temperature limit, “Minimum DAT” control is initiated. The unit will turn on minimum heat until the discharge air temperature exceeds the limit.
50 McQuay IM 1058
Sequence of Operation

Mechanical Cooling

Constant Volume (Space Comfort Controller)
The control temperature for a CAV unit is typically the space temperature. A space temperature sensor must be field installed into the occupied space and connected to the unit controller.
The unit goes into the cooling mode of operation when the control temperature (space temperature) is above the cooling setpoint by more than ½ the deadband.
Example - the cooling setpoint is set to 70.0°F and the deadband is 1.0°F, the unit will not go into the cooling mode of operation until the space sensor reaches 70.6°F.
When this takes place, the cooling mode of operation will begin and the 1st stage of compressor operation will start.
The unit controller will turn on the next stage of compressor operation, or turn off a stage of compressor operation, to maintain the cooling setpoint temperature within the deadband. When a compressor stage turns on, the next compressor stage, up or down, will not take place for the next 4 minutes. This “4 minutes” is called the stage time. Reference the “Cooling Setup” menu for the adjustable stage time value.
When a cooling stage is initiated no further operation will take place within the stage timer limit. In the above example, the unit will stage down or turn off the cooling mode of operation when the cooling setpoint reaches 69.4°F.
Variable Air Volume (Discharge Air Controller)
The unit's cooling mode of operation is controlled by the control temperature, the change-over temperature, and the discharge air temperature. The unit goes into the cooling mode of operation by analyzing the control temperature. The control temperature for a VAV system is the return temperature.
The unit goes into the cooling mode of operation when the control temperature (return temperature) is above the change­over setpoint by more than ½ the deadband.
Example - If the change over temperature is 70.0°F and the deadband is 1.0°F, the unit will not go into the cooling mode of operation until the return temperature reaches 70.6°F.
When this takes place, the cooling mode of operation will begin and the 1st stage of compressor operation will start.
The unit controller will turn on the next stage of compressor operation, or turn off a stage of compressor operation, to maintain the discharge air temperature setpoint within the deadband. When a compressor stage turns on, the next compressor stage up or down will not take place for the next 4 minutes. This “4 minutes” is called the stage timer.
When a cooling stage is initiated no further operation will take place within the stage timer limit. Reference the Cooling Setup menu for the adjustable stage time value. In the above example, the unit will stage down or turn off the cooling mode of operation when the return temperature reaches 69.4°F.

Economizer

When the economizer is enabled, the outside air temperature is below the changeover setpoint, and the differential enthalpy switch (if installed) is made, the economizer becomes the first stage of cooling. It will modulate to control to either the discharge air temperature (VAV) or space temperature (CV).
Every 4 minutes, the unit can then either add mechanical cooling if the economizer is at 100% open, continue economizing, or if the control temperature is satisfied, return to minimum position and transition back to “Fan Only” mode.
If the enthalpy switch breaks or the outside air warms, the unit will exit economizing and continue to mechanically cool while returning to the minimum position for ventilation.

panel are tight, and that the proper voltage is connected.
6 Verify all nameplate electrical data is compatible with the
power supply.
7 Verify the phase voltage imbalance is no greater than 2%.
8 Verify that gas piping is complete and leak tight.
9 Verify that the shutoff cock is installed ahead of the
furnace, and that all air has been bled from the gas lines.
10 Verify installation of gas flue and outside air vents.
11 Manually rotate all fans and verify that they rotate freely.
12 Verify that the belts are tight and the sheaves are aligned.
13 Verify that all setscrews and fasteners on the fan assemblies
are still tight. “See “Setscrews” on page 59.”
14 Verify that the evaporator condensate drain is trapped and
that the drain pan is level.
15 If unit is curb mounted, verify that the curb is properly
flashed to prevent water leakage.
16 Review the equipment and service literature, the sequences
of operation, and the wiring diagrams to become familiar with the functions and purposes of the controls and devices.
17 Determine which optional controls are included with the
unit.

Power-Up

1 Close the unit disconnect switch.
2 Power should now be supplied to the control panel.

Fan Start-Up

1 Remove shipping bolt from fan spring if this has not
already been done.
1 Verify fan spring adjustment and that the fan assembly is
level. Adjust as necessary.
2 Verify all duct isolation dampers are open.
3 Place the unit into the “Fan Only” mode through the
keypad.
4 The controller should enter the “Startup Initial” operating
state. If the fan does not run, check the manual motor protectors or that the circuit breakers have not tripped.
5 Verify the rotation is correct.

Economizer Start-Up

1 Check whether the outdoor air is suitable for free cooling.
2 At the keypad, set the cooling setpoint low enough so the
controller calls for cooling.
3 Place the unit into cooling mode through the keypad menu.
4 Observe the outdoor air dampers:
a If the outdoor enthalpy is low, the control algorithm
should start to modulate the dampers open to maintain the discharge air setpoint.
b If the outdoor enthalpy is high, the dampers should
maintain their minimum position.
Note: It may not be possible to check the economizer
operation in both low and high enthalpy states on the same day. If this is the case, repeat this procedure on another day when the opposite outdoor air enthalpy conditions exist.

Fan Blade
Orifice
With the supply fan operational, prepare for compressor operation.
CAUTION
Low ambient temperature hazard. Can cause compressor damage. Do not attempt to start up and check out the
refrigeration system when the outdoor air temperature is below 20°F.
1 Connect service gauges and verify that the unit has not lost
its refrigerant charge.
2 Verify that the crankcase heaters are operating. These
should operate for at least 24 hours before starting the compressors.
3 Verify that the condenser fan blades are positioned properly
(see Figure 43) and that the screws are tight. The fan blade must be correctly positioned within its orifice for proper airflow across the condenser coils.
4 Check the fan rotation.
Figure 43: Condenser Fan Blade Positioning
Scroll Compressor Rotational Direction
Scroll compressors only compress in one rotational direction. Three-phase compressors rotate in either direction depending upon phasing of the power to L1, L2, and L3. Since there is a 50/50 chance of connecting power to cause rotation in the reverse direction, verify that the compressor rotates in the proper direction after the system is installed. If the compressor is rotating properly, suction pressure drops and discharge pressure rises when the compressor is energized. If the compressor is rotating in reverse, the sound level is louder and current draw is reduced substantially. After several minutes of operation, the compressor’s internal protector trips.
All three-phase compressors are wired the same internally. Therefore, once the correct phasing is determined for a specific system or installation, connecting properly phased power leads to the same terminals should maintain proper rotation direction.
Perform the Following Procedure:
1
At the keypad, set the cooling setpoint low enough so that the controller will call for cooling.
Check, Test, and Start Procedures
NOTICE
Venting refrigerant to atmosphere is not allowed per most local laws and/or codes.
2 Verify that compressor #1 starts. If the compressor motor
hums but does not run, verify that it is getting three-phase power.
3 The compressor should operate continuously while there is
a call for cooling. If the compressor cycles on and off on its low pressure switch, perform the following:
a Verify that the circuit is not short of refrigerant.
b Check for low airflow across the evaporator coil.
c Check for clogged filters.
d Check for restricted ductwork.
e Check for very low temperature return air entering the
unit.
f Verify that the liquid line components, expansion valve,
and distributor tubes are feeding the evaporator coil.
g Verify that all air handling section panels are closed.
4 Verify that the condenser fans are cycling and rotating
properly (blowing air upward). When the compressor starts, at least one condenser fan should also start.
5 Check the oil level in the compressor sightglass. If low oil
is observed, it is possible that liquid refrigerant is returning to the compressor. Check the suction superheat, see “Expansion Valve Superheat Adjustment” below. It should be between 10°F (5.5°C) and 13°F (7.2°C). See “Expansion Valve Superheat Adjustment” below.
6 Verify that the condenser refrigerant subcooling at full
capacity is between 13°F and 20°F.
Checking Subcooling
Following are recommendations for checking subcooling:
1 Run unit until it reaches steady state. Close the unit section
doors. Running the unit with its doors open will affect system operation.
2 Measure the discharge gas pressure at the compressor
discharge gauge port with an accurate gauge. Use this pressure to determine the saturation temperature of the refrigerant.
3 Measure liquid temperature accurately by attaching a
thermocouple to the liquid line tube leaving the condenser coil. Insulate the tube and thermocouple for more accurate results.
4 Subtract the measured liquid temperature from the
saturation temperature to determine the subcooling.
5 As a general rule, high subcooling indicates that the circuit
is low on charge. Low subcooling generally indicates that the circuit has too much charge.

Expansion Valve Superheat Adjustment
It is very important that the expansion valve superheat setting be adjusted to be between 10°F (5.5°C) and 13°F (7.2°C). Insufficient superheat will cause liquid floodback to the compressor which may result in slugging. Excessive superheat will reduce system capacity and shorten compressor life.
Turn the adjustment stem clockwise to increase superheat. Not exceeding one turn, adjust the stem and then observe the superheat. Allow up to 30 minutes for the system to rebalance at the final superheat setting.
Checking Superheat
Following are recommendations for checking superheat:
1 Close the unit section doors. Running the unit with its
doors open will affect expansion valve and system operation considerably.
2 Check the pressure and temperature at the suction gauge
port.

Sheave Alignment

1 Verify both motor and fan sheaves are in alignment and the
shafts are parallel. The center line of the motor sheave must be in line with the center line of the fan sheave. See Figure 44.
2 Verify that all setscrews are torqued to the values shown in
Table 18 on page 59 before starting drive. Check setscrew torque and belt tension after 24 hours of service.
Figure 44: Sheave Alignment (Adjustable Shown)

Drive Belt Tension Adjustment

1 The ideal tension is the lowest tension at which the belt will
not slip under peak load conditions. Over tensioning shortens belt and bearing life.
2 Check tension frequently during the first 24–48 hours of
operation.
3 Keep belts free from foreign material which may cause
slippage.
4 Make V-drive inspection on a periodic basis. Adjust tension
if the belt is slipping. Do not apply belt dressing. This may damage the belt and cause early failure.

Air Balancing

The following should be performed by a qualified air balancing technician:
WARNING
Moving machinery hazard. Can cause severe personal injury or death. Do not use a mechanically driven tachometer
to measure the speed of return fans on this fan arrangement. Use a strobe tachometer.
1 Check the operating balance with the economizer dampers
positioned for both full outdoor air and minimum outdoor air.
2 Verify that the total airflow will never be less than that
required for operation of the electric heaters or gas furnace.
3 When the final drive adjustments or changes are complete,
check the current draw of the supply fan motors. The amperage must not exceed the service factor stamped on
the motor nameplate.
WARNING
Rotating parts can cause severe personal injury or death.
Replace all belt/fan guards that are removed for service.

Maintenance

Maintenance

Performing Service Maintenance

Installation and maintenance must be performed only by qualified personnel who are experienced with this type of
equipment and familiar with local codes and regulations.
WARNING
Moving machinery and electrical power hazards. May cause severe personal injury or death. Disconnect and lock
off all power before servicing equipment.
CAUTION
Sharp edges are inherent to sheet metal parts, screws, clips, and similar items. May cause personal injury.
Exercise caution when servicing equipment.

Servicing Control Panel Components

Disconnect all electric power to the unit when servicing control panel components. Before servicing, always inspect units for multiple disconnects to ensure all power is removed
from the control panel and its components.
WARNING
Hazardous voltage. May cause severe injury or death.
Disconnect electric power before servicing equipment. More than one disconnect may be required to de-energize the unit.
Check the power and control voltages.
Check the running amperage of all motors.
Check all operating temperatures and pressures.
Check and adjust all temperature and pressure controls as
needed.
Check and adjust all damper linkages as needed.
Check the operation of all safety controls.
Check the condenser fans and tighten their setscrews.

All-Aluminum Condenser Coils

The condenser coils are an all-aluminum design including the connections, micro-channels, fins (an oven brazing process brazes the fins to the micro-channel flat tube), and headers (Figure 45), which eliminates the possibility of corrosion normally found between dissimilar metals of standard coils.
During the condensing process, refrigerant in the coil passes through the micro-channel flat tubes, resulting in higher efficiency heat transfer from the refrigerant to the airstream.
Figure 45: Micro-Channel Coil Cross-Section

Planned Maintenance

Preventive maintenance is the best way to avoid unnecessary expense and inconvenience. Have this system inspected at regular intervals by a qualified service technician. The required frequency of inspections depends upon the total operating time and the indoor and outdoor environmental conditions. Routine maintenance should cover the following items:
Tighten all belts, wire connections, and setscrews.
Clean the evaporator and condenser coils mechanically or
with cold water, if necessary. Usually any fouling is only matted on the entering air face of the coil and can be removed by brushing or vacuuming.
Lubricate the motor and fan shaft bearings.
Align or replace the belts as required.
Clean or replace the filters as required.
Note: A partially full sight glass is not uncommon at part load
conditions. A varying amount of bubbles may be noticeable in the sightglass, which is normal.
Check for proper superheat.
Check for blockage of the condensate drain. Clean the
condensate pan as needed.

Maintenance
Connecting the Condenser Coil to Copper Tubing
Figure 46 shows the aluminum condenser coil connection to the copper tubing in the unit. Because of the low melting point of aluminum (1220°F compared to 1984°F for copper), this brazed joint is performed with a low temperature brazing
process.
CAUTION
Potential equipment damage. If a standard copper brazing process is performed at this joint, the process will damage the aluminum connection. If a condenser coil ever needs to
be replaced, the copper aluminum joint repair should be done with a ProBraze™ repair kit manufactured by Omni Technologies Corporation. A non-corrosive flux must also be used. The brazing temperature should be between 850°F – 900°F.
Figure 46: Aluminum/Copper Connection
Provide proper drainage around the unit to prevent flooding of the equipment.
Provide adequate protection from vandalism, mechanical contact, etc.
Make sure all doors are securely closed and all latches closed.
Units should be fitted with covers over the supply and return air openings.
Preparation for Storage
Supply Fans
1 Remove the drive belts, tag them with the fan name and
unit serial number, and store them in a conditioned space out of direct sunlight.
2 Once every two weeks, rotate the fan and motor shafts.
Mark the shaft positions first to make sure they stop in a different position.
3 Depending on local climate conditions, condensate may
collect on components inside the units. To prevent surface rust and discoloration, spray all bare metal parts with a rust preventive compound. Pay close attention to fan shafts, sheaves, bearings, and bearing supports.

Unit Storage

Location
The Maverick II is an outdoor unit. However, the construction schedule may dictate storage either on the ground or in its final position at the site. If the unit is stored on the ground, additional precautions should be taken as follows:
Make sure that the unit is well supported along the length of the base rail.
Make sure that the unit is level (no twists or uneven ground surface).
Cabinet Sections
Once a month, open a door on each section and verify that no moisture or debris is accumulating in the unit.
Control Compartment
1 McQuay International recommends that the electronic
control equipment in the unit be stored in a 5% to 95% RH (non-condensing) environment.
2 It may be necessary to put a heat source (light bulb) in the
main control panel to prevent the accumulation of atmospheric condensate within the panel. The location and wattage of the heat source is dependent on local environmental conditions.
3 Check the control compartment every two weeks to
confirm that the heat source is functional and is adequate for current conditions.
Restart
After extended storage, perform a complete start up. Inevitable accumulations of dirt, insect nests, etc. can contribute to problems if not cleaned out thoroughly prior to start up. In addition, thermal cycling tends to loosen mechanical and electrical connections. Following the startup procedure helps discover these and other issues that may have developed during the storage interval.
McQuay IM 1058 57
Maintenance

Bearing Lubrication

CAUTION
Bearing overheating potential. Can damage the equipment.
Do not overlubricate bearings. Use only a high grade mineral grease with a 200°F safe operating temperature.
Motor Bearings
Supply Fans
Supply fan motors should have grease added after every 2000 hours of operation. Use one of the greases shown in Table 17. Using the following procedure, relubricate the bearings while the motor is warm, but not running.
1 Remove and clean upper and lower grease plugs.
2 Insert a grease fitting into the upper hole and add a small
amount of clean grease with a low pressure gun.
3 Install the lower grease plug.
4 Run the motor for five minutes before installing the upper
grease plug.
Condenser Fan and Exhaust Fan
The condenser fan and exhaust fan motors are permanently lubricated and require no periodic lubrication.
Fan Shaft Bearings
Relubricate fan shaft bearings periodically. Relubricate according to the schedule on the fan housing. If the bearings are exposed to wet conditions, wide temperature variations, or other severe atmospheric conditions, relubricate more frequently. Use one of the greases shown in Table 17.
Table 17: Recommended Greases
Manufacturer Product Name Tem p. Ra nge (° F)
Texaco Lubricants Co. Premium RB -30 to 300
Mobil Oil Corporation Mobilith AW2 -40 to 325
Shell Oil Company Alvania No. 2 -20 to 240
Vibration Levels
Each unit as shipped is trim balanced to operate smoothly. To provide satisfactory operation after shipping and installation, use accepted industry guidelines for field balancing fans.
Note: Excessive vibration from any cause contributes to
premature fan and motor bearing failure. Monitor overall vibration levels every six months of operation. An increase in levels is an indication of potential trouble.
Vibration Causes
1 Wheel imbalance.
a Dirt or debris on wheel blades.
b Loose setscrews in wheel hub or bearing-to-shaft.
c Wheel distorted from overspeed.
2 Bent shaft.
3 Faulty drive.
a Bad V-belts; lumpy, or mismatched.
b Belt tension too tight or too loose.
4 Bad bearings or loose bearing hold-down bolts.
5 Motor imbalance.
6 Fan section not supported evenly on foundation.
While the bearing is at normal operating temperatures, rotate the fan by hand and add only enough grease to purge the seals. The seals bleed slightly when this occurs. Do not overlubricate.
Periodic Service and Maintenance
1 Check all moving parts for wear every six months.
2 Check bearing collar, sheave, and wheel hub setscrews,
sheave capscrews, and bearing hold-down bolts for tightness every six months.

Setscrews

Setscrews are used to lock bearings, sheaves, locking collars, and fan wheels to their shafts. They must be checked periodically to see that they have not loosened. If this is not done, severe equipment damage could occur.
Refer to the values in Table 18 and check the tightness of all setscrews with a torque wrench.
Table 18: Setscrew Minimum Torque Specifications
Setscrew Diameter (in.) Minimum Torque (ft.lb)
1/4 5.5
5/16 10.5
3/8 19.0
7/16 29.0
1/2 42.0 5/8 92.0

Supply Fan Wheel-to-Funnel Alignment

The fan wheel-to-funnel alignment must be as shown in Figure 47 to obtain proper air delivery and operating clearance. If necessary, adjustments are made as follows:
1 Verify that the fan shaft has not moved in its bearings.
2 Loosen the fan hub setscrews and move the wheel(s) along
the shaft as necessary to obtain the correct dimension shown in Table 19.
3 Retighten the setscrews to the torque specification given in
Table 18 on page 59. Tighten the setscrews over the keyway first; tighten those at 90 degrees to the keyway last.
4 Verify that the radial clearance around the fan is uniform.
Figure 47: SWSI Airfoil Wheel-to-Funnel Alignment

Refrigerant Charge

The unit nameplate references proper charge for each refrigerant circuit in case a full charge must be added to the unit.
CAUTION
Severe loss of charge may occur if the high refrigerant pressure switch is replaced before reclaiming the refrigerant. Replace pressure switch after reclaiming
refrigerant.

Servicing Refrigerant Sensors or Switches

The Maverick II includes the following refrigerant sensors or switches.
1 Low refrigerant pressure sensing, operating switch,
automatic reset.
a Disables associated compressors on a drop in suction
pressure to approximately 35 psig.
b Enables associated compressors on a rise in suction
pressure to approximately 60 psig.
2 High refrigerant pressure, protective switch, manual reset
at keypad.
The low pressure switch senses refrigerant pressure through shrader fittings that contain cores. The cores are stop valves that do not allow refrigerant to flow through the Shrader unless the device is in place. Therefore, the low pressure switch can be replaced without reclaiming the refrigerant.
The Shrader that serves the high pressure switch does not contain a core in order to maximize the functionality of the safety. Therefore it cannot be replaced unless the refrigerant has already been reclaimed.

Servicing Optional Electric Heater

WARNING
Hazardous voltage. May cause severe injury or death.
Disconnect electric power before servicing equipment. More than one disconnect may be required to de-energize the unit.

If the electric heater is not operating properly, a qualified electrician should perform the following to check if the heater is damaged:
1 Measure continuity through all fuses.
2 Check that all electrical connections are tight. Look for
signs of arcing.
3 Check the resistance to ground for each circuit. It should be
infinite.
4 Check the resistance phase to phase for each circuit.
5 Check all contactors.

If replacement parts are required, include the date of unit installation, the date of failure, an explanation of the malfunction, and a description of the replacement parts required.

Scroll Compressor

All McQuay Rooftop products include a first-year parts only warranty. The warranty period extends 12 months from startup or 18 months from date of shipment, whichever comes first. Labor to install these parts is not included with this warranty. Compressors are considered a part and are included in this standard warranty.

All Compressors

Replacement compressors for McQuay Rooftop Units can be obtained from the McQuay Service Parts department.
The decision to replace the failed portion of the compressor tandem, as opposed to replacing the entire tandem, must be decided based on the following.
1 In warranty: Warranty only covers replacement of the failed
portion of the tandem.
2 Out of warranty: The customer decides whether to replace
the entire tandem or just a portion.
3 Some equipment may include the extended 2nd - 5th year
compressor warranty option.
Order the replacement compressor through the McQuay Parts Department (Minneapolis).
1 Contact the McQuay Parts Department for compressor
availability.
2 Send a completed parts order form to the McQuay Parts
Department.
3 The Parts Department processes the order and the
compressors are shipped from our Dayton, OH warehouse via ground transportation. If next-day air is required, indicate this on the parts order form and a freight charge will be billed to your account. Air freight costs are not covered under the McQuay warranty.
4 After the failed compressor is replaced, return it to McQuay
International with a Return Goods Tag attached, which you will receive in the mail. It must be attached to the compressor. The Return Goods Tag has instructions on where to send the compressor. If the compressor is not returned, you will be billed for the replacement compressor.
5 Consideration may be given at this time to a compressor
teardown analysis, depending on the history of failures.

In-Warranty Return Material Procedure

Material other than compressors may not be returned except by permission of authorized factory service personnel of McQuay International at Minneapolis, Minnesota.
A “return goods” tag will be sent to be included with the returned material. Enter the information as called for on the tag in order to expedite handling at out factories and issuance of credits. All parts shall be returned to the factory designated on the return goods tag, transportation charges prepaid.
The return of the part does not constitute an order for replacement. A purchase order for the replacement part must be entered through your nearest McQuay representative. The order should include the component's part number and description and the model and serial numbers of the unit involved.
If it is determined that the failure of the returned part is due to faulty material or workmanship within the standard warranty period, credit will be issued on the customer's purchase order.
