WARNING
Failure to maintain and continually provide water
treatment may result in severe equipment damage and
may create biologically hazardous conditions. See
Figure 26 for water connection sizes and locations.
Figure 6: Spray System Piping
NOTE:
The cyclone separator is on a side stream. A hand
valve controls water flow. The hand valve should be
opened until the inlet pressure to the separator is
about 12 psi as determined by the factory-installed
gauge. This will yield about 20 gpm of blowdown
whenever the blowdown solenoid opens.

Blow down and drain
Introduction
Bleed Off and Water Consumption
Controlled bleed off [or blow down] is required on McQuay
RPE/ RDE units as it should be with all evaporative
condensing products. It involves draining off a portion of the
highly concentrated water from the bottom of the sump and
replacing it with lower concentration make-up water to inhibit
scale. Scale protection is required because the evaporation
process leaves behind solids (scale) that will coat the heat
exchanger surfaces and sump. This reduces the capacity,
efficiency, and life expectancy of the equipment.
Manual bleed off occurs whenever the spray pump operates. A
manual valve adjusts flow and is provided as standard. Refer
to Figure 6. This inevitably bleeds off too much [increased
water costs] or too little [risking scale build up] water.
Automatic bleed off control is superior and usually is provided
with the water treatment system.
Theoretical water consumption required for proper heat
rejection is 1.8 gallons per ton hour. All of this water
evaporates and none goes into the sewer. An additional 0.6 to
0.9 gallons per ton hour (.03 to .05 with McQuay nonchemical water treatment) is also required for make up and
bleed off. The exact amount should be determined by water
Figure 7: Control Locations - RPE Units
analysis. The RPE/ RDE includes a float valve and solenoid
that automatically refills the sump as required.
Bleed off must be handled in accordance with local codes and
normally is drained into the sanitary sewer. Normally, this
water should not be drained onto the roof or into a storm drain.
One possible exception to this is with the McQuay nonchemical water treatment option (consult local codes
carefully). Because most water utilities charge for both intake
and sewer water flows based on intake meter readings, sewer
charges may be reduced if sewer flow is proven to be less than
water intake. McQuay offers both intake and bleed off water
meters to document reduced sewer flow [confirm details with
your local utility]. These meters are not included in the basic
water treatment option.
Control Locations
Figure 7 (RPE Units) and Figure 8, page 11 (RDE Units) show
the locations of the various control components mounted
throughout the units. See Control Locations‚ page 10 for the
locations of control components mounted in control panels.

Following are minimum ventilation clearance
recommendations. The system designer must consider each
application and provide adequate ventilation. If this is not
done, the unit will 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 Service Clearance‚ page 17. See also
Figure 13, page 17.
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 exhaust vents or other sources of contaminated
air.
If the unit is installed where windy conditions are common,
wind screens should be installed around the unit, maintaining
the clearances specified (see Figure 15). This is particularly
important to prevent blowing snow from entering outside air
intakes, and to maintain adequate head pressure control when
mechanical cooling is required at low outdoor air
temperatures.
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.

Roof Curb Assembly and Installation
The roof curb and unit must be located 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 could allow the transmission of sound
and vibration into the occupied space, the unit should be
located 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.
The curb and unit must be installed level to allow the
condensate drain to flow properly.
Integral supply and return air duct flanges are provided with
the RPE/RDE roof curb, allowing connection of ductwork to
the curb before the unit is set. The gasketed top surface of the
duct flanges seals against the unit when it is set on the curb.
These flanges must not support the total weight of the
ductwork. Refer toInstalling Ductwork‚ page 32 for details on
duct connections. It is critical that the condensate drain side of
the unit be no higher than the opposite side.
Assembly of a typical RPE/RDE roof curb is shown in
Figure 17, page 21. Parts A through K are common to all units
having bottom return openings. Depending on the unit length,
Parts L and M may be included with the roof curb kit to create
the correct overall curb length.
RPE/RDE Assembly instructions
Refer to Figure 17, page 21.
1 Set curbing parts A through K per dimensions shown over
roof opening or on a level surface. Note location of return
and supply air openings.
2 If applicable, set other curbing parts (D, L, M, etc.) in place
making sure that the orientation complies with the
assembly instructions. Check alignment of all mating bolt
holes.
3 Bolt curbing parts together using fasteners provided.
Tighten all bolts finger tight.
4 Square entire curbing assembly and securely tighten all
bolts.
5 Position curb assembly over roof openings. Curb must be
level from side to side and over its length. Check that top
surface of the curb is flat with no bowing or sagging.
6 W eld curbing in place. Caulk all seams watertight. Remove
backing from 0.25" (6 mm) thick x 1.50" (38 mm) wide
gasketing and apply to surfaces shown by notes.
7 Flash curbing into roof as shown in Detail “B”.
8 Parts E and F are not required on units with no return shaft
within the curb perimeter.
9 Parts G and H are not required on units with no supply shaft
within the curb perimeter.

Post and Rail Mounting
When mounting by post and rail, the structural support should
be run the full length of the unit. Locate the structural member
at the base of the unit as shown in Figure 18 assuring the
shaded area is well supported by the structural member.
CAUTION
The unit must be level side to side and over the entire
length. Equipment damage can result if the unit is not level.
If resilient material is placed between the unit and the rail,
insert a heavy steel plate between the unit and the resilient
material to distribute the load. Properly seal cabinet
penetrations (electrical, piping, etc.) to protect against
moisture and weather.

6 If there are isolation dampers, make sure they are properly
installed and fully closed to prevent the entry of animals
and debris through the supply and return air openings.
7 Cover the supply and return air openings on units without
isolation dampers.
Figure 19 shows an example of the rigging instruction label
shipped with each unit.
WARNING
Use all lifting points. Severe personal injury and
property damage can result from improp er lifting
adjustment.
Figure 19: Rigging and Handling Instruction Label
Rigging and Handling Instructions
Unit has either four or six lifting points (four-point shown below).
Caution: All lifting points must be used.
Rigging cables must be at least as long as distance "A".
Note:
*Rail cannot extend beneath the unit more than 5" (127 mm) or it will interfere
with duct and electrical connections.
Rigging and Handling
Lifting brackets with 2" (51 mm) diameter holes are provided
on the sides of the unit.
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 must be stored at the construction site for an
intermediate period, these additional precautions should be
taken:
1 Make sure to support the unit well along the length of the
base rail.
2 Make sure to level the unit
(no twists or uneven ground surface).
3 Provide proper drainage around the unit to prevent flooding
of the equipment.
Caution:
Lifting points may not
be symmetrical to center of
gravity of unit. Balast or unequal

Mechanical Installation
Reassembly of Split Units
Although RoofPak units typically ship from the factory as
complete units, they may be split at the factory.
The RPE/RDE unit may ship from the factory as two pieces,
split at the supply fan bulkhead, to be recoupled together on
the roof. This configuration would be ordered if shipping
length or weight limitation prevented a packaged RPE/RDE
from being ordered. Splitting at the fan has the advantage of
leaving all factory refrigerant piping intact so field evacuation
and charging is not required.
A single nameplate is attached to the air handler section and
power is fed to both sections through the main control box, as
it would be in a non-split RPE/RDE unit.
RPE/RDE Factory Split at Fan
Field reassembly of an RPE/RDE unit that has shipped split at
the fan takes place in two phases:
Phase 1 - Setting the Sections and Cabinet
Reassembly
The steps required to set the unit and reassemble the cabinet
are shown in Figure 22, Figure 23, and Figure 24, page 25.
The following items should be noted:
1 Top cap and plywood covers must be removed before the
sections are set together, but the steel retainer clips must be
left in place to secure the bulkhead. Refer to Step 1 and
Figure 22.
2 Both sections must be carefully lowered into place to make
sure that the roof curb engages the recesses in the unit base.
3 All seams at the split must be caulked watertight after
recoupling the sections, as shown in Step 3 and Figure 23,
page 25.
WARNING
Improper installation can cause severe equipment
damage, personal injury or death.
Connect the power block correctly and maintain proper
phasing.
When reconnection of the power wires is complete, the inner
raceway cover in the blank or heat section must be reinstalled.
Figure 24, page 25 shows a typical installation of the raceway

shown in Figure 24.
Control harnesses can be run by removing the external
raceway covers on either side of the unit split. The excess
harness length can be removed from the external raceway on
the DX side of the split, routed along the raceway through the
bushed hole in the fan section and into the junction box where
control wiring terminal blocks are provided for reconnection.
All electrical connections should be made per the unit's
electrical schematics. Reinstall the external raceway covers
after routing of the control wires is complete.

Condensate Drain Connection
The unit is provided with a 1.5" male NPT condensate drain
connection. Refer to certified drawings for the exact location.
The unit and drain pan must be level side to side and a P-trap
must be installed for proper drainage.
RPE units may have positive or negative pressure sections.
Traps should be used in both cases, with care given to negative
pressure sections. In Figure 25, page 26, dimension “A”
should be a minimum of 8" (203 mm). So the cabinet static
pressure does not blow or draw the water out of the trap and
cause air leakage, dimension A should be two times the
maximum static pressure encountered in the coil section in
inches w.c.
Drainage of condensate directly onto the roof may be
acceptable; refer to local codes. A small drip pad of stone,
mortar, wood or metal be should be provided to protect the
roof against possible damage.
If condensate is to be piped into the building drainage system,
the drain line should be pitched away from the unit at 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 provide drainage to the main drain pan. Check that the
copper tubes are in place and open before the unit is put into
operation.
Because drain pans in any air conditioning unit will have some
moisture in them, algae, etc. will grow. Periodic cleaning is
necessary to prevent this buildup from plugging the drain and
causing the drain pan to overflow. Also, the drain pans should
be kept clean to prevent the spread of disease. Cleaning must
be performed by qualified personnel.
WARNING
Clean drain pans regularly. Growth in uncleaned drain
pans can cause disease.
Cleaning must be done by trained, experienced personnel.

Unit Piping
Gas Piping
See the “Installation” section of the gas-fired furnace
installation manual, Bulletin No. IM684 or IM685.
Supply Water
City water must be piped into the service section of the unit.
Install a manual shutoff valve to facilitate service of the unit.
Provisions have been made to pipe through the floor of the
service section within the curb. If the unit will be exposed to
low outdoor air conditions, care must be taken to prevent
freeze damage to this piping.
The service section has an optional heater to minimize freeze
problems during cold weather. Verify that this heater functions
before filling the unit. A sump heater option is also offered that
includes heat tape on the pressure side of the float controlled
fill valve, plus an extra 8 feet of heat tape to protect field
connections inside the service compartment.
If the unit is mounted on post and rail structure, pipe will be
exposed to outdoor conditions and will need to be heat taped
or drained manually during the winter season.

Drain Water
A drain and bleed off connection is also located in the service
section of the unit. Since this water will contain water
treatment chemicals, local codes may require connection to the
sanitary sewer. The freeze warning for supply water also
applies to drain water piping.

Water Treatment
WARNING
Failure to maintain and continually provide water
treatment will result in severe equipment damage and
may create biologically hazardous conditions.
Water treatment, whether ordered as an option on the unit or
purchased separately, must be properly installed and started
before starting the unit. Failure to do so will result in scale
build up on the condenser tubes with a resulting loss in heat
rejection capacity. In severe cases, it may become impossible
to operate the compressors. In addition, untreated cooling
tower water can be a source for airborne disease.
Proper water treatment must include the following minimum
features:
• Bleed Off
• Scale and corrosion inhibitor chemical treatment
• Biocide chemical treatment
See Catalog 219 for information on the optional McQuay
supplied water treatment systems.

Hot Water Coil Piping
Hot water coils either are provided without valves for field
piping or are piped with three-way valves and actuator motors.
Note: If the unit is equipped with an iron valve, connecting to a
copper piping system will likely cause galvanic corrosion to
occur and the valve will not last. All coils have vents and
drains factory installed.
Hot water coils are not normally recommended for use with
entering air temperatures below 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 temperature conditions.
When no factory piping or valve is included, the coil
connections are 2-1/8" copper (two supply and two return).
With the factory piping and valve package, field piping
connections are the same NPT size as the valve with female
threading (see Figure 27, page 28).
Refer to the certified drawings for the recommended piping
entrance locations. All piping penetrations must be sealed to
prevent air and water leakage.
Note: The valve actuator spring returns to a stem down
position upon power failure. This allows full flow through
the coil.
McQuay IM 791-227
Mechanical Installation
CAUTION
Coil freeze possible. Possible equipment damage.
Carefully read and follow instructions for mixing antifreeze
solution. Some products will have higher freezing points in
their natural state than when mixed with water. The freezing
of coils is not the responsibility of McQuay International.

B y p a s s
S u p p l y
Refer to the certified drawings for the recommended piping
entrance locations. All piping penetrations must be sealed to
prevent air and water leakage.
Note: The valve actuator spring returns to a stem up position
upon power failure. This allows full flow through the coil.
Steam Piping Recommendations
1 Be certain that adequate piping flexibility is provided.
Stresses resulting from expansion of closely coupled piping
and coil arrangement can cause serious damage.
2 Do not reduce pipe size at the coil return connection. Carry
return connection size through the dirt pocket, making the
reduction at the branch leading to the trap.
3 Install vacuum breakers on all applications to prevent
retaining condensate in the coil. Generally, connect the
vacuum breaker between the coil inlet and the return main.
However, if the system has a flooded return main, the
vacuum breaker should be open to the atmosphere and the
trap design should allow venting of large quantities of air.
4 Do not drain steam mains or takeoffs through coils. Drain
mains ahead of coils through a steam trap to the return line.
5 Do not attempt to lift condensate.
6 Pitch all supply and return steam piping down a minimum
of 1" (25 mm) per 10 feet (3 m) of direction of flow.
Steam Coil Piping
Steam coils either are provided without valves for field piping,
or are piped with two-way valves and actuator motors.
The steam coil is pitched at 1/8" (3 mm) per foot (305 mm) to
provide positive condensate removal. When no factory piping
or valve is included, the coil connections are 2.5" male NPT
iron pipe.
With the factory piping and valve package, the field supply
connection is the same NPT size as the valve with female
threading (see Figure 30, page 29).
Steam Trap Recommendations
1 Size traps in accordance with manufacturers'
recommendations. Be certain that the required pressure
differential will always be available. Do not undersize.
2 Float and thermostatic or bucket traps are recommended for
low pressure steam. Use bucket traps on systems with onoff control only.
3 Locate traps at least 12" (305 mm) below the coil return
connection.
4 Always install strainers as closely as possible to the inlet
side of the trap.
5 A single tap may generally be used for coils piped in
parallel, but an individual trap for each coil is preferred.
Steam Coil Freeze Conditions
If the air entering the steam coil is below 35°F (2°C), note the
following recommendations:
1 1.5 psi (34.5 kPa) steam must be supplied to coils at all
times.
2 Do not use modulating valves. Control should be by means
of face and bypass dampers.
3 As additional protection against freeze-up, the tap should
be installed sufficiently far below the coil to provide an
adequate hydrostatic head to provide removal of
condensate during an interruption on the steam pressure.
Estimate 3 ft. (914 mm) for each 1 psi (7 kPa) of trap
differential required.
28McQuay IM 791-2
Mechanical Installation
4 If the unit is to be operated in environments with possible
freezing temperatures, an optional freezestat is
recommended. See Freeze Protection‚ page 68 for
additional information.
The optional damper assemblies described in this section are
provided with manually adjustable linkages, or may be shipped
with factory installed actuators and linkages.
Economizer Dampers
Outside air intake is provided on both sides of the unit, and the
return air path is at the center of the damper set. As the single
actuator modulates the outside air dampers open, the return air
dampers close. Exhaust air exits the unit through the gravity
relief dampers provided at the end of the economizer section.
The outside air return air damper assembly (economizer)
comes with manually adjustable linkage. This adjustable
linkage can also be used for connection of a damper operator.
The damper is set so that the crankarm moves through a 90degree angle to bring the economizer dampers from full open
to full close. Mechanical stops have been placed in the
crankarm mounting bracket. Do not remove stops. If the
crankarm is driven past the stops, damage to the linkage or
damper will result. The unit will ship with a shipping bolt
securing the linkage crankarm. Remove shipping bolt before
use.

Do not “overclose” low leak damper blades. The edge
seal should just lightly contact the adjoining blade. The
blades will lock up if they are closed so far the seal goes

Mechanical Installation
Intake Hood Damper (0 to 100% outside air)
Units requiring 100% outside air are provided with a rain hood
and dampers which may be controlled by a single actuator. The
actuator provides two-position control for opening the
dampers fully during unit operation and closing the dampers
during the off cycle. No unit mounted exhaust dampers are
provided.
Intake Hood Damper (0 to 30% outside air)
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. This setting is made at the linkage rod on units with
manually adjustable linkages.
On units provided with MicroTech II controls, the damper
position may be set at the controller keypad. During unit
operation, the two-position actuator drives the damper to the
position set on the keypad. During the off cycle, the damper is
automatically closed.
No unit mounted exhaust dampers are provided with this
option.

Installing Ductwork
On bottom-supply/bottom-return units, the installing
contractor should make an airtight connection by attaching
field fabricated duct collars to the bottom surface of either the
roof curb's duct flange or the unit's duct opening if a McQuay
roof curb is not used. Do not support the total weight of the
ductwork from the unit or these duct flanges. Refer to
Figure 35.
Units with optional back return or side discharge have duct
collars provided. The discharge duct collars on a side
discharge unit are exposed by removing the plenum section
access door and the door gasketing.
Use flexible connections between the unit and ductwork to
avoid transmission of vibration from the unit to the structure.
Figure 35: Installing Ductwork
U n i t D u c t O p e n i n g
Design ductwork per ASHRAE and SMACNA
recommendations to minimize losses and sound transmission.
Where return air ducts are not required, connect a sound
absorbing T or L to the unit return to reduce noise transmission
to the occupied space.
Ductwork exposed to outdoor conditions must be built in
accordance with ASHRAE and SMACNA recommendations
and local building codes
.
NOTICE
Installer must provide access in the ductwork for plenum
mounted controls.
On units with side discharge, access to plenum mounted

Installing Duct Static Pressure Sensor Taps
g
Mechanical Installation
For all Variable Air Volume (VAV) units, duct static pressure
taps must be field installed and connected to the pressure
sensors in the unit. Sensor SPS1 is standard; additional sensor
SPS2 is optional. These sensors are located at the bottom of
the main control panel next to terminal block TB2 (see Control
Panel Locations‚ page 12).
The duct static pressure sensing tap must be carefully located
and installed. Improper location or installation of the sensing
tap will cause unsatisfactory operation of the entire variable air
volume system. Following are pressure tap location and
installation recommendations. The installation must comply
with local code requirements.
CAUTION
Sensor fittings are fragile. Damage to pressure sensor
can occur during removal.
If tubing must be removed from a pressure sensor fitting,
use care. Do not wrench the tubing back and forth to
remove or the fitting may break off.
1 Install a tee fitting with a leak-tight removable cap in each
tube near the sensor. This will facilitate connecting a
manometer or pressure gauge if testing is required.
2 Use different colored tubing for the duct pressure (HI) and
reference pressure (LO) taps, or tag the tubes.
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
will 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 an L-shaped pressure tip device is
used, the point must face the airstream. If a bare tube end is
used, it must be smooth, square (not cut at an angle), and
perpendicular to the airstream.
(see Figure 36).
7 Locate the reference pressure (LO) tap somewhere near the
duct pressure tap within the building (see Figure 36). If the
reference tap is not connected to the sensor, unsatisfactory
operation will result.
8 Route the tubes between the curb and the supply duct, and
feed them into the unit through the knockout in the bottom
of the control panel (see Figure 16). Connect the tubes to
the appropriate 1/8" fittings on the sensors. Make sure that
the sensors do not support the weight of the tubing; use
tube clamps or some other means.

2 Use different colored tubing for the controlled space
pressure (HI) and reference pressure (LO) taps, or tag the
tubes.
3 Regardless of whether the controlled space is positive or
negative with respect to its reference, locate the HI pressure
tap in the controlled space. (The setpoint can be set
between -0.2 and 0.2" W.C.)
4 Locate the reference pressure (LO) tap in the area
surrounding the controlled space. If the reference tap is not
connected to the sensor, unsatisfactory operation will
result.
5 Locate both taps so that 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 tap tubes between the curb and the supply duct,
and feed them into the unit through the knockout in the
bottom of the control panel (see Figure 36).
7 Connect the tubes to the appropriate 1/4" fittings on sensor
SPS2. Assure that the sensor does not support the weight of
the tubing; use tube clamps or some other means.
McQuay IM 791-233
Mechanical Installation
Installing Building Static Pressure Sensor Taps
If a unit has direct building static pressure control capability,
static pressure taps must be field installed and connected to
pressure sensor SPS2 in the unit. This sensor is located at the
bottom of the main control panel next to terminal block TB2
(see Control Locations‚ page 10).
The two static pressure sensing taps must be carefully located
and installed. Improper location or installation of the sensing
taps will cause unsatisfactory operation. Following 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. May damage pressure sensor.
If tubing must be removed from a pressure sensor fitting,
use care. Do not wrench the tubing back and forth to
remove or the fitting may break off.
Building Pressurization Applications
1
Install a tee fitting with a leak-tight removable cap in each
tube near the sensor. This will facilitate connecting a
manometer or pressure gauge if testing is required.
2 Locate the building pressure (Hi) 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 that 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 between the curb and the
supply duct, and feed it into the unit through the knockout
in the bottom of the control panel.
5 Connect the tube to the 1/4" HI fitting on sensor SPS2.
Assure that the sensor does not support the weight of the
tubing; use tube clamps or some other means.
6 Locate the reference pressure (LO) 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 that it is not affected by snow, If the reference tap is
not connected to the sensor, unsatisfactory operation will
result.
7 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.
8 Route the outdoor tap tube out of the main control panel
through a small field-cut opening in the edge of the control
wiring raceway cover. Cut this “mouse hole” in the vertical
portion of the edge. Seal the penetration to prevent water
from entering. Connect the tube to the 1/4" LO fitting on
sensor SPS2.
Electrical Installation
Field Power Wiring
Wiring must comply with all applicable codes and ordinances
and these specifications. Defects caused by incorrect wiring
are not covered by the warranty. An open fuse or motor
protector indicates a short, ground, or overload. Before
replacing a fuse or restarting a compressor or fan motor, the
trouble must be found and corrected.
According to the National Electrical Code, a disconnecting
means must be located within sight of and readily accessible
from the air conditioning equipment. The unit may be ordered
with an optional factory mounted disconnect switch. This
switch is not fused. Power leads must be over-current
protected at the point of distribution. The maximum allowable
overcurrent protection is shown on the unit nameplate.
RPE and RDE units are provided with internal power wiring
(see A, B, and C in Figure 37) for single or dual point power
connection. The power block or an optional disconnect switch
(see D in Table 37) is located per Table 4. Field power leads
are brought into the unit through 3" knockouts in the bottom of
the main control panel. Refer to the unit nameplate to
determine the number of power connections.
Units ordered with multiple point power connections are
provided with non-fused, factory mounted disconnect
switches. Several multiple point power options are available,
as shown in Table 4.

The minimum circuit ampacity (wire sizing amps) is shown on
the unit nameplate. Refer to Table 5, page 36 for the
recommended number of power wires.
Copper wire is required for all conductors. Size wires in
accordance with the ampacity tables in Article 310 of the
National Electrical Code. If long wires are required, it may be
necessary to increase the wire size to prevent excessive voltage
drop. Wires should be sized for a maximum of 3% voltage
drop. Supply voltage must not vary by more than 10% of
nameplate. Phase voltage imbalance must not exceed 2%.
(Calculate the average voltage of the three legs. The leg with
voltage deviating the farthest from the average value must not
be more than 2% away.) Contact the local power company for
correction of improper voltage or phase imbalance.
CAUTION
Provide proper line voltage and phase balance.
Improper line voltage or excessive phase imbalance can
cause severe damage to the unit's electrical components.
A ground lug is provided in the control panel for each power
conduit. Size grounding conductor in accordance with Table
250-95 of the National Electrical Code.
In compliance with the National Electrical Code, an
electrically isolated 115V circuit is provided in the unit to
supply the factory mounted service receptacle outlet and
optional unit lights. This circuit is powered by a field
connected 15A, 115V power supply . Leads are brought into the
RFS and RPS units through a 7/8" knockout in the bottom of
the main control panel, near the power wire entry point.
Note: The National Electrical Code requires that this 115V
circuit be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFI)
device (field supplied).
WARNING
Electrical shock hazard.

All protective deadfront panels must be reinstalled and
secured when power wiring is complete.
1. All wire sizes assume separate conduit for each set of
parallel conductors.
2. All wire sizes based on NEC Table 310-16 for THW wire (copper). Canadian electrical code wire ampacities may vary.
3. All wire sizes assume no voltage drop for short power leads.
*To provide that disconnects and power blocks mate with power wiring.
Condenser Fan Cycling
FanTrol is provided on all units and is a method of head
pressure control which automatically cycles the condenser fans
in response to sump water temperature. This feature maintains
head pressure and allows the unit to operate down to 45°F
ambient.
RDE and RPE units have two independent refrigerant circuits
with two to three condenser fans being controlled
independently by the sump water temperature.
Condenser Fan Wiring
A standard JCI A99 temperature sensor connects to MCBAI11 to measure the temperature in the sump of the
condensing unit.
All condenser fans on each compressor circuit turn on and off
using the same outputs as the Compressor Circuit Board that
control the fans. Condenser Fan #1 for each circuit turns on
and off through BO #5 on the compressor board for that
circuit. Condenser Fan #2 for each circuit turns on and off
through BO #6 on the compressor board for that circuit.
Condenser Fan #3 for each circuit turns on and off through BO
#7 on the compressor board for that circuit. If the unit has an
optional VFD for condenser fans 11 and 21, the VFD is turned
on digitally from the MCB.Keypad Display

Adjusting Spring Mounts
Figure 41: Spring Mount
To adjust spring mount compression, perform the following:
1 Loosen the .625-18 UNF hex nut (Figure 41).
2 Place additional weight on the fan sled frame and use a
lever to slightly compress the spring or raise the sled. This
will allow the bolt to turn freely.
3 Place one or two drops of oil on the threads if needed.
Note: The greatest friction that makes adjustment difficult,
comes from the surfaces of the top of the upperrebound plate (Figure 41), both sides of the .615"
washer, and the underside of the sled. If friction is
occurring at these point, relieve the weight and oil
the friction surfaces.
4
Use a flat blade socket drive bit (1/2" drive handle
recommended) and make sure that when adjusting the
slotted bolt, that the upper-rebound plate also turns. The
slot is located just above the hex nut. This action allows the
bolt to push the compression plate (Figure 41) up or down
with the lease friction occurring between the .625" washer
and the underside of the channel.
Note: If the spring compresses to far, lift the sled before
turning. If the spring does not compress enough,
place weight on the sled corner, forcing it down
before turning.
5
Re-adjust the position of the lower-rebound plate so that
the sled has at least 3/4" travel and not more than 1.25" of
travel.
CAUTION
Do no use impact tools for field spring mount adjustments as
damage to bits or to the bolt slot may occur.
WARNING
Moving machinery hazard. Can cause severe injury or death.
Start the fans for the first time according to the Check, Test, and
Start Procedures‚ page 78. If this is not done, equipment
damage, severe personal injury, or death can occur.

WARNING
Follow proper procedures. Severe fan damage can occur
otherwise.
The fans must be started for the first time in accordance with
the Check, Test, and Start Procedures‚ page 78. If this is not
done, personal injury and severe fan damage can occur.
Adjustment of Supply Fan Thrust Restraints
Thrust restraints are provided when housed double-width fans
are mounted on springs. After the spring mounts have been
adjusted for level operation when the fan is running, the thrust
restraints should be checked. With the fan off, the adjustment
nuts should be set so the spring is slightly compressed against
the angle bolted to the fan housing frame. Refer to Figure 42.
When the fan is turned on, the fan will move back to a level
position and the thrust restraint springs will compress

Adjustment of Seismic Restraints
Spring mounted supply air and return air fans may be ordered
with factory installed seismic restraints. Refer to Figure 43.
The system consists of four snubbers, one located next to each
spring isolator. These snubbers will allow free movement of
the fan assemblies during normal operation because normal
operation will not cause fan movements that exceed .25" (6
mm). However, they will restrain the fan assembly and limit
movement to .25" (6 mm) in any direction if an abnormal
condition were to occur.
The position the fan will assume during normal operation will
be determined by actual job site airflow and static pressure.
Therefore, for proper operation, the seismic restraints must be
field adjusted as part of the normal “Check, Test and Start”
procedure. When the fan is operating in a normal manner there
should be no contact between the snubber restrainer angle and
the snubber neoprene bumper. However, in a “seismic event,”
the snubber will limit movement of the spring mounted fan
assembly to .25" (6 mm) in any direction, thereby helping to
prevent the fan from being tossed about and damaged, or
causing damage.
When a seismic restraint is properly adjusted and the fan is
operating normally, the neoprene center bumper will be
centered within the 2" (51 mm) diameter hole in the restrainer
angle, and the restrainer angle will be centered vertically
between the flanges of the neoprene center bumper. This
results in .25" (6 mm) clearance in all directions. When the fan
is turned off the restrainer angle may come to rest on the
neoprene center bumper.
The seismic restraint is adjustable in all directions. Vertical
slots in the restrainer angle and horizontal slots in the blower
base allow the restrainer angle to be adjusted up and down and
back and forth. The neoprene center bumper is mounted on a
slotted hole allowing its adjustment in and out.
Removing the neoprene center bumper bolt allows removal,
disassembly, and replacement of the neoprene components.
Spring Isolated Compressors
Units that have been ordered with optional compressor
mounting springs must have the rigid shipping spacers
removed before operating the units. Refer to Figure 44.
Before operating the unit, remove and discard the shipping
spacers (1) and install the neoprene spacers (2). Remove the
top mounting nuts (3). Install one neoprene spacer on each of
the four mounting bolts.
Replace the mounting nuts, leaving 1/16" (2mm) space
between the mounting nut and the neoprene spacer.

Sequences of Operation
The following sequences of operation are for a typical “C”
vintage applied rooftop unit that is equipped with MicroTech
II, an economizer, 4 compressor / 8stage cooling, 3 to 1 turn
down burner, variable frequency drives (VFD), a return air fan
and an external time clock. These sequences describe the
ladder wiring diagram logic in detail; refer to Wiring
Diagrams‚ page 47 as you read them. Note that your unit's
sequences of operation may vary from those described here.
Refer to the wiring diagrams supplied with the unit for exact
information.
For detailed description of operation information relating to
the MicroTech II controller's software, refer to the appropriate
operation manual (see Table 1, page 3). These manuals
describe the various setpoints, parameters, operating states,
and control algorithms that affect rooftop unit operation.
Power-up
Sequences of Operation
Fan Operation
When the main control board (MCB) commands the supply
and return fans to start, the unit enters the Startup operating
state. As a result, a 3-minute timer is set, output MCB-BO3
(line 307) energizes, and relay R26 energizes (line 306).
After the 3-minute timer expires, the unit enters the Recirc
operating state. As a result, output MCB-BO1 energizes relay
R67 (line 401). This gives a start signal to supply fan drive
AFD10 (line 445). Four seconds after MCB-BO1 is energized,
output MCB-BO2 energizes relay R68 (line 404). This gives a
start signal to return fan drive AFD20 (line 445).
Within 120 seconds after the fans start, the controller expects
airflow switch PC7 (line 228) to close and thus energize binary
input MCB-BI6. (If MCB-BI6 does not energize, the controller
assumes the fans did not start. It then shuts down the unit and
generates an alarm.)
When primary power is connected to the unit, 115VAC power
is fed through control circuit transformer TI and control circuit
fuse FI (line 168) to compressor crankcase heaters HTR-1,
HTR-2, HTR-3 and HTR-4 (lines 815, 850, 820 and 855).
When system switch S1 (line 203) is closed, low voltage
transformers T2 (line 203), T3 (line 301)and T9 (line 802) are
energized, and 115 VAC power is supplied to the following:
• Smoke detectors (lines 265 and 267)
• Economizer actuator ACT3 (line 313)
• M30A to energize the supply fan VFD (line 426)
• M40A to energize the return fan VFD (line 430)
• Heating control panel (line 603)
• Compressor circuit switches CSI and CS2 (lines 805 and
840)
Transformer T2 supplies 24VAC power to terminals 24V &
24C on the main control board MCB (lines 207 and 208). T2
supplies 24VAC power to the following:
• Switch S7 On-Auto-Off (line 217)
• Enthalpy sensor OAE (line 250)
• External time clock contacts (line 215)
• External exhaust fan status contacts (line 257, VAV only)
• Airflow interlock switch PC7 (line 228)
• Dirty filter switches PC5 and PC6 (lines 242 and 247)
• Duct high limit switch DHL (line 260)
• Gas furnace alarm relay R24 (line 225)
• Freezestat switch FS1 (line 231)
• Smoke detectors SDI and SD2 (line 237)
When the field supplied Cool Enable switch is in the “off”
position, field wiring terminal 105 is de-energized (line 220).
Binary input MCB-BI3 will be de-energized and the cooling
will be disabled. When the field supplied Heat Enable switch
is in the “off” position, field wiring terminal 106 is deenergized (line 223). Binary input MCB-BI4 will be deenergized and the heating will be disabled. Note: Unit ships
with factory installed jumpers between 101 and 105 and
between 101 and 106.
During the Recirc operating state, the outside air damper is
held closed. The controller does this by energizing output
MCB-BO5 (line 318). On VAV units, output MCB-BO12, the
VAV box output, is also de-energized (line 309) during the
Recirc state.
The supply fan adjustable frequency drive (AFD10) is
modulated to maintain the duct static pressure setpoint. When
energized, output MCB-BO14 (line 407) drives AFD10 toward
increased capacity; MCB-BO13 (line 405) drives it toward
decreased capacity. On VAV units or CAV units equipped with
return fan capacity control, the adjustable frequency drive
(AFD20) is modulated to maintain an acceptable building
static pressure (using either VaneTrol logic or direct
measurement of building pressure; see the appropriate OM for
more information). When energized, output MCB-BO16 (line
Note: If the inverter bypass switch S4 (lines426 and 430) is in
the bypass position, MMP30 and MMP40 (line 132 and
144) protect the fans from excessive current draw. If
either the supply or return fan is drawing excessive
current, one of the MMPs triggers an auxiliary contacts
(line 426) and open the circuit, causing both fans to stop.
Economizer Operation
When the outdoor air is suitable for free cooling, the switch in
enthalpy sensor OAE is in position “3” (line 252) energizing
binary input MCB-BI11. When MCB-BI11 is energized, the
economizer is enabled. (Note: If selected from the keypad, the
enthalpy decision can be made based on outdoor temperature.
In that condition, if the outdoor air temperature is less than or
equal to the changeover setpoint, the economizer is enabled.)
If cooling is required, the economizer dampers (ACT3) are
modulated to maintain the discharge air temperature setpoint.
When energized, output MCB-BO6 drives the outdoor air
dampers towards the open position, and MCB-BO5 towards
the closed (line 318). If the outdoor air dampers are wide open
and more cooling is required, the dampers will hold their
McQuay IM 791-241
Sequences of Operation
positions and mechanical cooling will be activated (see
below).
When the outdoor air is not suitable for free cooling, the
switch in enthalpy sensor OAE is in position “1”, deenergizing binary input MCB-BI11 (Alternatively, the outdoor
air temperature is above the changeover setpoint plus the
economizer changeover differential). When the economizer is
disabled, the dampers are held at their minimum position.
General Cooling Control
A unit with evaporative condensors cannot operate in a cooling
state below 40ºF. If the OAT Compressor Loackout
Temperature on units with evaporative condensing is lowered
below 40ºF, it will immediately be set back to 40ºF
Condenser fan #1 on each circuit is turned on and off via
ModBus communications with a single VFD. These two fans
always operate at the same speed.
Condenser fan #1 and #3 on each compressor circuit are turned
on and off using the two outputs on the main control board that
are used for standard condenserfans. Relays are driven by each
of these outputs so that fans associated with a circuit that is not
operating will not be turned on.
Sump Pump Control
The pump output is turned on whenever the unit is in the
Cooling state and the Sump Pump Fail condition described
below is false. The Sump Pump is turned on before any
compressor or condenser fan is turned on.
A Sump Pump Fail condition is set to True if the Sump Pump
status is Open after the Sump Pump Output has been turned on
for more than the Sump Pump Delay time (Default equals 30
seconds). The Sump Pump Fail condition remains true for one
cooling stage time. The Sump Pump is turned off and the
maximum Cooling Stage is set to zero when the Sump Pump
Fail condition is true. A manual clear Sump Pump Fail
Problem that disables cooling becomes active if Cooling has
been limited to Stage Zero due to Sump Pump Fail conditions
three times between 2:00 AM of one dav and 2:00 AM of the
next day.
If the non-chemical water treatment option is provided, the
sump pump is run every three days to reduce scaling. The
pump output is turned on for one hour if all of the following
are true:
• The sump pump has been off for more than 72 hours, but
less than 120 hours,
• The outside air temperature is greater than 35°F.
Configuration Options
There are two configurations of Evaporative Condensing units.
One has two condenser fans per refrigerant circuit. The other
has three condenser fans per circuit. In addition, the first fan
on each circuit can either have a VFD or not. Configuration
string position #6 is set based on the configuration of the unit.
See IM696-2, OM137-3 or OM138-3 for definitions of values
used in this position.
Sequence of Operation
A condenser fan is allowed to operate only when one or more
compressors on the corresponding circuit are operating. On
condensers with no VFD's, if circuit #1 is lead, CCB1-BO5
energizes condenser fan contactor M11. If there is a VFD, the
digital bus communicates a start signal to the VFD to start both
M11 and M21. SWT sensor wired into MCB-AI11 looks at the
sump water temperature and stages additional fans as
necessary. CCB1-BO6 energizes M12. CCB2-B06 energizes
M22. CCB1-BO7 energizes M13. CCB2-B07 energizes M23.
Refer to OM138-2 or OM138-2 for a more complete sequence.
Also refer to Figure 45, page 43 (with VFD) and Figure 46,
page 44 (without VFD) for condenser fan and spray pump
sequence of operation concept schematics. For a typical
detailed schematic, see Typ ical Cond ensing Unit Control -
MicroTech II - 4 Compressor‚ page 60.
Speedtrol
After the pump and compressors are turned on, the sump
temperature rises to 80°F . At that point the VFD fans go to
minimal speed (20 Hz). Under low ambient conditions, the
VFD fans may not be running or cycle on and off.
As the sump temperature increases to 90°F, the VFD
condenser fans (2) are ramped up to 100% (60 Hz) at a rate
that is proportional to the temperature rise above 80°F (i.e. 4
Hz change per °F).
Above 90°F, the next fan of a lead-lag fan staging is turned on
and the VFD is slowed down to the minimum speed and then
ramped up to maintain the sump temperature between 80-90°F
until all fans are turned on. Under extreme hot or humid
conditions, the sump temperatures may rise to 105-110°F with
all fans running.
When the sump temperature falls below 80°F and the VFD is
at minimal speed (20 Hz), the lead-lag fans are staged off and
the VFD is ramped up to maintain the 80-90°F sump
temperatures.
Emergency Sump Drain Sequences
There are two instances where the unit controls will open the
drain solenoid and drain the sump. At that time, virtually the
entire spray system will drain via gravity (an exception is a
small trap that keeps the optional conductivity sensor
immersed).
If sump water temperature drops below 35°F, the controls
assume the optional sump heater has failed or was not ordered,
freezing conditions exist, and the water is drained.
If the optional, non-chemical water treatment system is
ordered and the spray system has not operated for five days,
then the controls assume that organic growth has begun in the
spray system, so the water is drained.
The McQuay spray system only holds about 150 gallons of
water, so the water costs associated with draining the sump is
42McQuay IM 791-2
Sequences of Operation
negligible. If the non-chemical water treatment option is
utilized, then no chemicals are lost in the draining process.
The entire spray system automatically refills itself when a call
for mechanical cooling occurs and ambient temperature is not
below 40°F.

Mechanical Cooling Operation
4-Compressor/3 Stage Unit
Refer to page 60 as you read this sequence of operation. In this
configuration there are 4 equally sized compressors and two
cooling circuits. In the following description, compressor #1 is
lead. However, if Auto Lead/Lag Staging is selected on the
keypad, the lead compressor will be #1 or #2, depending on
run hours.
When the unit disconnect is closed, 115VAC power is supplied
directly from control transformer T1 to the compressor
crankcase heaters, HTR-1, 2, 3 & 4 (lines 815, 850, 819, 855)
and motor protectors MP1, 2, 3 & 4 (lines 816, 851, 820, 856).
This same 115 VAC source also goes through:

start if commanded to by the MicroTech II control system.
Sequences of Operation
Cross Circuit Loading
If cooling is enabled (MCB-BI3 is energized) and mechanical
cooling is required, the MCB will energize cool enable output
MCB-BO7 (line 813) to binary inputs CCB1-BI12 (line 813)
and CCB2-BI12 (line 848). The MCB will also send a digital
communications signal to CCB1 & 2 to enable cooling. CCB1BO4 output will energize and open liquid line solenoid valve
SV1 (line 831), allowing refrigerant to flow into the
evaporator coil. As the refrigerant evaporates, the suction
pressure increases until low pressure switch LP1 closes (line
815) as a binary input to CCB1-BI6. When CCB1 senses that
LP1 has closed, CCB1-BO1 energizes contactor M1 (line 816)
to start compressor #1. CCB1-B03 will energize to unload
compressor #1 (line (828). This is stage 1.
If more cooling is required, CCB2-BO4 will energize and open
liquid line solenoid valve SV2 (line 866), allowing refrigerant
to flow into the evaporator coil. As the refrigerant evaporates,
the suction pressure increases until low pressure switch LP2
closes (line 850) as a binary input to CCB2-BI6. When CCB2
senses that LP2 has closed, CCB2-BO1 energizes contactor
M2 (line 852) to start compressor #2. CCB2-B03 will energize
to unload compressor #2 (line 864). This is stage 2.
If more cooling is required, CCB1-B03 will de-energize to
load compressor#1 (line 828). This is Stage 3.
Stage 4: CCB2-B03 de-energizes to load compressor #2
(line 864).
Stage 5: CCB1-B02 energizes to start compressor #3 (line 821)
and CCB1-B03 energizes to unload compressor #1 (line 828).
Stage 6: CB2-B02 energizes to start compressor 4 (line 857)
and CCB2-B03 energizes to unload compressor #2 (line 864).
Stage 7: CCB1-B03 de-energizes to load compressor #1.
Stage 8: CCB2-B03 de-energizes to load compressor #2.
When the cooling demand is satisfied, MCB works through
CCB1 & 2 to stage down the compressors. If Auto Lead/Lag
Staging is selected, the compressor with the most hours will
stage off first and so on. When both circuits are running with
only one compressor each (stage 2) and less cooling is
required, if circuit #2 is lag, CCB2-BO4 de-energizes to close
liquid line solenoid valve SV2 (line 866). As a result,
compressor #2 pumps down refrigeration circuit #2 until the
suction pressure drops low enough to open low pressure
control LP2 (line 850). When LP2 opens, CCB2-BO1, BO5,
(BO6 and BO7) will de-energize to shut down compressor #2
and its associated condenser fan(s).
When mechanical cooling is no longer necessary, CCB1-BO4
de-energizes to close liquid line solenoid valve SV1 (line 831).
As a result, compressor #1 pumps down refrigeration circuit
#1 until the suction pressure drops low enough to open low
pressure control LP1 (line 815). When LP1 opens, CCB1BO1, BO5, (BO6 and BO7) will de-energize to shut down
compressor #1 and its associated condenser fan(s).

Sequences of Operation
Lead Circuit Loading
The loading and unloading process is similar except that both
compressors in the lead cooling circuit will energize before
energizing any compressors in lag circuit.
Compressor Safeties
If a compressor motor protector or oil pressure safety trips, it
will immediately disable its associated compressor contactor
M1, 2, 3 or 4 (lines 816, 852, 821 and 857), The appropriate
CCB*-B0* will de-energize.
If high pressure switch HP1 or HP3 trips (line 827 and 822),
compressors #1 and #3 will be disabled and relay R1 will
signal CCB1 of the event. (line 825). CCB1 will then deenergize CCB1-BO1 and BO2 (lines 816 & 821) to keep
compressors #1 and #3 locked out. If high pressure switch HP2
or HP4 trips (line 862 and 858), compressors #2 and #4 will be
disabled and relay R2 will signal CCB2 of the event. (line
860). CCB2 will then de-energize CCB2-BO1 and BO2 (lines
852 & 857) to keep compressors #2 and #4 locked out.
If frost protect switch FP1 trips (line 810), CCB1-BO4 will deenergize (lines 830) to close SV1 and pump down circuit #1. If
frost protect switch FP2 trips (line 846), CCB2-BO4 will deenergize (lines 866) to close SV2 and pump down circuit #2.
For both of these alarms, the circuit will remain off for at least
one cooling stage timer interval. If cooling is still needed, the
cooling will try to restart. The cooling will reset up to three
times in a 24 hour period (between 2:00 AM and 2:00 AM).
After the third trip, the alarm will remain until manually
cleared at the keypad or over the network.
Heating
Gas Furnace, Modulating Burner (3 to 1 turn down)
Refer to page 64 as you read this sequence of operation. Note
that the gas furnace wiring diagrams supplied with the units
include a detailed sequence of operation. Refer to the wiring
diagram supplied with the unit for exact wiring and sequence
of operation information.
When system switch S1 is closed, 115 VAC power is supplied
to the furnace control circuit. If burner switch S3 and safeties
HL22, HL23 are closed, terminal 5 (line 609) on the flame
safeguard control (FSG) will be energized as will the
modulating gas valve VM1. If heating is enabled (MCB-BI4 is
energized (line 223) and heating is required, the MCB-BO11
will energize R20 (line 413). The normally open R20 contacts
(line 603) close, and if manual burner switch S3 and high limit
switches HL22, HL23, FLC (fan limit control), LP5, and HP5
are closed, terminal 6 (line 618) on the flame safeguard control
(FSG) will be energized. FSG will energize terminal 4 to start
the blower motor (BM) through contactor M29 (line 609). If
the blower is operational, air switch AS (line 621) will close
and make FSG terminal 6 to 7. After a 90-second prepurge
period, FSG terminals 8 (line 613) and 10 (line 630) are
energized. As a result, ignition transformer IT and pilot gas
valve GVI are energized. The pilot flame will ignite and be
detected by FSG through flame rod FD (line 612). Upon
detection of pilot flame after the 10 second trial for ignition
period, the FSG will de-energize terminal 10 and energize
terminal 9 to energize main gas valves GV2 and GV3 (lines
617, 619) and low fire start relay R23 (line 624). The R23
contacts (lines 632 and 633) allow the MCB to modulate gas
valve actuator VM1 as required to satisfy the heating demand.
Whenever the burner is operating, its firing rate will be
determined by the position of gas valve actuator VM1. This
actuator modulates the butterfly gas valve and combustion air
damper (lines 690 and 692), thus varying the furnace firing
rate between 33% and 100% of full capacity. When the MCBBO10 energizes (line 634), VM1 modulates toward open and
the firing rate increases. When MCB-BO9 energizes (line
644), VM1 modulates toward closed and the firing rate
decreases. When both MCB-BO10 and MCB-BO9 are open,
VM1 holds its position and the firing rate remains constant.
When heating is no longer necessary, MCB-BO11 opens, deenergizing relay R20 and opening its contacts in line 603. As a
result, the flame safeguard control is de-energized, all gas
valves close, the combustion air blower motor stops, and gas
valve actuator VM1 closes. If the furnace is warm enough to
close it, the FLC fan controls switch (line 633) will override
supply fan start/stop output MCB-BO1 through R67 (line 607)
and keep the supply fan running until the furnace cools down
(this might happen during night setback operation).
If the furnace overheats, the FLC high limit control (line 603)
will cycle the burner, preventing the furnace temperature from
exceeding the limit control's set point. When the furnace is
cycled off, low fire start relay R23 de-energizes. The normally
closed R23 contacts (line 633) cause VM1 to drive to its
minimum position, overriding MicroTech II control of VM1
via MCB-BO10 and MCB-BO9. Because relay R23 is deenergized whenever GV2 is de-energized, the burner will
always start at low fire.
Flame Control Lockout
If the pilot flame does not ignite or the flame safeguard fails to
detect its flame within 10 seconds, the flame safeguard control
will enter the “lockout” state. FSG terminals 4, 8, 9, and 10
will be de-energized and the burner will be shut down. FSG
terminal 3 will energize relay R24 (line 225). The R24
contacts (line 244) signal the controller that the problem exists
by energizing the input to MCB-BI5. If a lockout occurs, the
flame safeguard control must be manually reset.

Non-Chemical Water Treatment
The McQuay Chemical Free Water Treatment System is
designed to prevent scale build-up and microbial growth in the
moisture-laden condenser section of McQuay evaporative
condenser rooftop units. It has several advantages over
traditional chemical treatment systems and functions in the
following ways (see IM 827 for more details):
• Changes precipitate formation from surface nucleation
(scale) to colloidal nucleation (bulk-solution powder).
• Keeps systems free from mineral scale on the fill material,
pipes, heat exchangers, and other components in the system.
• Controls the population of microorganisms such as bacteria
and algae by incorporating them into colloidal precipitates
• (encapsulation) or damaging them with pulsed electric fields
(electroporation).
Enthalpy Control
Outside Air Enthalpy Control (OAE)
Units with MicroTech II control and an economizer come
standard with an electromechanical enthalpy control device
(OAE) which senses both the humidity and temperature of the
outside air entering the unit. This device has an enthalpy scale
marked A through D. Table 7 shows the control points at 50%
RH for settings A through D. Figure 47 shows this scale on a
psychrometric chart. When the outside air conditions exceed
the setting of the device, the outside air dampers are positioned
to the minimum outside air intake position by the MicroTech II
controller.
An optional electric differential enthalpy control arrangement
(OAE/RAE) is available on units with MicroTech II control. In
this configuration a solid-state humidity and temperature
sensing device is located in both the return (RAE) and outside
intake (OAE) airstreams. This OAE device has the same A
through D scale as the device described above. However, with
the OAE/RAE arrangement the switch on OAE must be set all
the way past the “D” setting. With this done, the MicroTech II
controller will adjust the return and outside air dampers to use
the airstream with the lowest enthalpy.
Ground Fault Protection
The ground fault protection is designed to protect motors from
destructive arcing ground faults. The system consists of a
ground fault relay and a ground fault current sensor. The
ground fault relay employs solid state circuits that will trip and
open a set of relay contacts in the 115 volt control circuit to
shut the unit down whenever a ground fault condition exists.
The ground fault relay is self powered. The ground fault sensor
is a current transformer type of device located on the load side
of the power block through which the power wires of all
phases are run.

Phase Voltage Monitor
The phase voltage monitor protects against phase loss (single
phasing) when any one of three line voltages drops to 74% or
less of setting. This device also protects against phase reversal
when improper phase sequence is applied to equipment, and
low voltage (brownout) when all three line voltages drop to
90% or less of setting. An indicator run light is “on” when all
phase voltages are within specified limits. The phase voltage
monitor is located on the load side of the power block with a
set of contacts wired to the 115 volt control circuit to shut the
unit down whenever the phase voltages are outside the
specified limits.

Part Winding Start
The part winding start option is used to reduce the locked rotor
inrush current of the compressor motors or the fan motors
(208/230 volt units).
The motor has dual windings which are energized with dual
contactors. The first contactor closes, energizing one winding.
A time delay relay closes the second contactor about one
second later, energizing the second winding and bringing the
motor up to full speed. Figure 50 is a typical wiring schematic
showing part winding start.

Hot Gas Bypass
Hot gas bypass is a system for maintaining evaporator pressure
at or above a minimum value. The purpose for regulating the
hot gas into the distributor is to keep the velocity of the
refrigerant as it passes through the evaporator high enough for
proper oil return to the compressor when cooling load
conditions are light.
The system consists of a combination of solenoid valves and a
pressure regulating valve as shown in Figure 51. The solenoid
valves are factory wired to open whenever the controller calls
for the first stage of cooling. The pressure regulating valve
starts to modulate open at 57 psig (393 kPa).
Figure 51: Hot Gas Bypass System
Hot gas bypass line,
circuit #1
Hot gas bypass line,
circuit #2
Combination modulation
and solenoid valves
The regulating valve opening point can be determined by
slowly reducing the system load or reducing the required
discharge air temperature setting while observing the suction
pressure. When the bypass valve starts to open, the refrigerant
line on the evaporator side of the valve will begin to feel warm
to the touch.
CAUTION
Do not touch gas liner during valve checkout. The hot gas
line can become hot enough in a short time to cause
personal injury.

External Time Clock
An external time clock can be used as an alternative to (or in
addition to) the MicroTech II 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 digital input BI1 on
the MCB. This is the normal condition in which the
programmable internal schedule is followed. When the circuit
is closed, the MicroTech II controller responds by placing the
unit in the occupied mode, overriding any set internal
schedule.
For more information, please see the “Digital Inputs” section
of Bulletin No. IM 696, MicroTech II Applied Rooftop Unit
Controller.
Smoke Detectors
Optional smoke detectors can be located at the supply and
return openings. The wiring for these smoke detectors is
shown on any of the “Typical Main Control Circuit” wiring
schematics within the section Wiring Diagrams‚ page 47.
The sequence of operation for these detectors is as follows:
When the smoke is detected by either sensor, the normally
closed sensor contacts open. This removes power from digital
input MCB BI8 on the Main Control Board.
The MicroTech II controller responds by shutting the unit
down. The controller is placed in the Alarm Off state, and
cannot be restarted until the alarm is manually cleared. Refer
to the operation manual supplied with the unit for information
on clearing alarms (OM138 or OM137).
The smoke detectors themselves must be manually reset once
they have tripped. Power must be cycled to the smoke detector
to reset.
Freeze Protection
An optional freezestat is available on units with MicroTech II
control that have hot water o r steam heating coils. The sensing
element is located on the downstream side of the heating coil
in the heating section of the unit. If the freezestat detects a
freezing condition and closes, the MicroTech II controller will
take different action, depending on whether the fans are on or
off. The freezestat is an auto reset type of control; however, the
controller alarm it causes is a manual reset if the fan is on and
auto reset if the fan is off.
Fan On Operation
If the freezestat detects a freezing condition while the fan is
on, the MicroTech II controller will shut down the fans, close
the outdoor air dampers, open the heating valve, and set a 10minute timer. The MicroTech II controller's active alarm will
be “Freeze Stat Fault.”
When the 10-minute timer expires, the controller begins
checking the freezestat again. If the freezestat is open, the
heating valve will close. If the freezestat closes again, the
heating valve will open, and the 10-minute timer will reset.
The unit will remain shut down until the “Freeze Stat Fail”
alarm is manually cleared. Refer to the operation manual
68McQuay IM 791-2
Unit Options
supplied with the unit for information clearing alarms (OM138
or OM137).
Fan Off Operation
If the freezestat detects a freezing condition while the fan is
off, the MicroT ech II controller will open the heating valve and
set a 10-minute timer. The MicroTech II controller's active
alarm will be “Freeze Problem.”
When the 10-minute timer expires, the controller begins
checking the freezestat again. If the freezestat is open, the
heating valve will close. If the freezestat closes again, the
heating valve will open, and the 10-minute timer will reset.
When the freezestat opens again, the “Freeze Stat Prob” alarm
automatically clears. This feature protects the coil and allows
the system to start normally after a cold night.
Low Airflow Alarm
An EFT sensor and an associated “Low Airflow Alarm” are
provided on VAV units with MicroTech II control and gas or
electric heat. The EFT sensor is located in the supply fan
section of the unit at the supply air funnel.
Heat will be disabled whenever the airflow is detected to be
too low for safe heating operation. This condition is indicated
when the supply air temperature exceeds the mixed air
temperature by more than 60°F (16°C). In this case, a “Low
Airflow Alarm” is generated and heat will not be re-enabled
until the alarm is manually cleared. Refer to the operation
manual supplied with the unit for information on clearing
alarms (OM138 or OM137).
Duct High Pressure Limit
The duct high pressure limit control (DHL) is provided on all
VAV units, including the CAV-DTC unit that can be field
converted to VAV. The DHL protects the ductwork, the
terminal boxes, and the unit from over pressurization which
could be caused by, for example, tripped fire dampers or
control failure.
The DHL control is factory set to open when the discharge
plenum pressure rises to 3.5" w.c. (872 Pa). This setting should
be correct for most applications; however, it is adjustable.
Removing the front cover of the device reveals a scale
showing the current setting. Turning the adjustment screw
located on the bottom of the device adjusts the setting up or
down.
If the DHL switch opens, digital input MCB BI 14 on the Main
Control Board will be de-energized. The MicroTech II
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 (OM138 or
OM137).

Refer to the vendor instructions supplied with the unit.
Convenience Receptacle/Section Lights
A convenience receptacle is provided in the main control box
on all units. To utilize this receptacle, a separate field supplied
115V power wir ing circuit must be connected to the 1 15V field
terminal block TB1, located in the main control box. Note that
the National Electrical Code requires that this circuit be
protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) device.
Optional lights are available for certain sections in the unit.
Each light includes a switch and convenience receptacle, and
is powered by the external 115V power supply connected to
TB1.
DesignFlow™ Outdoor Air Damper Option
DesignFlow™ airflow measurement stations are located inside
the louvered outdoor air intake doors between the intake
louver and outside air dampers. Essentially, they consist of a
vane that is repositioned by airflow, the amount of rotation
indicating the amount of airflow. They are calibrated precisely
at the factory and no further calibration is required. However, a
leveling adjustment is required in the field so that the
DesignFlow unit is in the same orientation as when it was
factory calibrated. See “DesignFlow Station Startup” below.
The rotational position of the DesignFlow unit vane is
translated into CFM by the microprocessor in the MicroTech II
control system. The position of the vane is determined by two
things—the force of the airflow impacting the vane and the
gravitational effect on the vane. Gravity is the only factor at
the lower CFM end of the range. On a correctly leveled unit,
this gravitational effect will be the same as when the unit was
calibrated in the factory.
Accurately leveling a station involves applying a precise
mechanical force against the vane. This force should cause the
vane to move to a specific position if the DesignFlow unit is
correctly leveled.
DesignFlow Station Startup
• Before initial startup of the rooftop unit, carry out the
following procedure on both the right-hand (control panel
side) and left-hand (side opposite the control panel)
DesignFlow station vanes (see Figure 52).
Note: This procedure is much easier to carry out with two
people—one making the mechanical adjustments and
the other viewing and recording readings on the
MicroTech II control panel.
1
Verify that power is supplied to the unit’s MicroTech II
control system. The DesignFlow startup procedure cannot
be completed without use of the MicroTech II controls.
2 Unlock and open the louvered outdoor air intake door on
the side of the unit (see Figure 52).
See Sequences of Operation‚ page 41.

3 The swinging vane on the measurement station is locked in
place for shipment. Unlock it by removing the two shipping
screws. One is located one inch from the top of the vane
and the other one inch from the bottom of the vane. Both
are about eight inches in from the outer edge of the vane.
4 Examine the station for shipping damage. Manually rotate
the vane and verify that it does not rub against anything.
Figure 52: DesignFlow Station
5
Manually hold the vane closed against the mechanical stop
at the top of the assembly. Then, read the current vane
leveling position on the MicroTech II keypad/display.
Do this by viewing the LH Lvl Pos= or RH Lvl Pos=
parameter in the DesignFlow setup menu. The LH Lvl Pos= parameter indicates the current position of the vane
for the left-hand DesignFlow station (side opposite the
control panel). The RH Lvl Pos= parameter indicates the
current position of the vane for the right-hand DesignFlow
station (control panel side).
Important: Wait several seconds until the value on the
keypad stabilizes before taking the reading.
For detailed information regarding operation and
navigation through the unit keypad, refer to Operation
manual OM 137 (discharge air control units) or OM 138
(zone control units).
6 Confirm the value of the reading. Ideally, it should read
close to 20.00 (19.50 to 20.50 is acceptable). If the reading
is out of range, loosen the screws fixing the mechanical
stop at the top of the assembly, make a small adjustment,
and recheck until the reading is in the specified range.
Note: Generally, adjustments should not be necessary.
7
Locate the leveling component kit, which is shipped with
the unit, in the unit mail control panel.
8 Duct tape the fulcrum alignment plate to the bottom corner
of the vane (see Figure 53) aligning it as follows:
a The bottom edge of its notches should be flush with the
bottom edge of the vane.
b The side of one notch should be even with the bend near
the outer edge of the vane.
c The plate should be flat against the outer surface of the
vane.

c With the alignment plate taped to the vane and the vane
in the zero airflow position, locate the fulcrum parallel
to and against the alignment plate.
Note: The zero airflow position is when the vane is swung
away from the back wall and gently resting against its
stop.

a While holding the weight so it stays on the fulcrum,
manually rotate the vane to the wide-open position,
manually return it to the zero CFM position, and gently
release the vane.
b Locate the leveling weight assembly so its contact point
is against the vertical mark on the vane.
c While the weight assembly teeters on the fulcrum,
gently rap the base frame to slightly vibrate the
assembly and encourage the vane to seek its equilibrium
point.
15 Read the current LH Lvl Pos= (or RH Lvl Pos=) parameter
in the DesignFlow Setup menu on the keypad/display.
These parameters vary from 20% to 80% depending on the
position of the DesignFlow vane
16 If the value indicated by the LH Lvl Pos= (or RH Lvl Pos=)
parameter is not within the range of 23.64% to 24.08%,
adjust the level of the DesignFlow unit using the procedure
described in “Making Level Adjustments” below.
17 When the LH Lvl Pos= (or RH Lvl Pos=) value is in range,
remove the fulcrum and leveling weight assembly and
replace the access opening cover in the louvered door.

5 Loosen the .25-20 NC lock nut in the slotted hole at the
bottom of the DesignFlow frame (see Figure 57).
6 If the LH Lvl Pos= (or RH Lvl Pos=) value obtained in
step 15 above is HIGHER than the specified range,
move the bottom of the DesignFlow frame closer to the
outdoor air dampers (away from the back end of the unit).
Do this by turning the long adjuster nut to increase the L
dimension in Figure 57.
If the LH Lvl Pos= (or RH Lvl Pos=) value obtained in
step 15 above is LOWER than the specified range,
move the bottom of the DesignFlow frame away from the
outdoor air dampers (toward the back end of the unit). Do
this by turning the long adjuster nut to decrease the L
dimension in Figure 57.
Note: If the necessary adjustment cannot be made using
the long adjuster nut, reposition the two .25-20 NC
jam nuts on the threaded rod to make larger
adjustments (see Figure 57).

Propeller Exhaust Fan Option
Economizer units may include propeller exhaust or centrifugal
return fan options. This section covers maintenance and
operating instructions for the propeller exhaust option.

Prestarting Checks
Check all fasteners and set screws for tightness. This is
especially important for bearing set screws.
The propeller should rotate freely and not rub on the fan panel
venturi. Rotation direction of the propeller should be checked
by momentarily turning the unit on. Rotation should be in the
same direction as the rotation decal affixed to the unit or as
shown in Figure 59, page 73. For 3-phase installations, fan
rotation can be reversed by simply interchanging any two of
the three electrical leads. For single phase installations follow
the wiring diagram located on the motor.
The adjustable motor pulley is preset at the factory for the
specified fan RPM. Fan speed can be increased by closing or
decreased by opening the adjustable pulley. Two or three
groove variable pitch pulleys must be adjusted an equal
number of turns open. Any increase in fan speed represents a
substantial increase in horsepower required from the motor.
Always check motor load amperage and compare to name
plate rating when changing fan speed.

Belts
WARNING
Rotating fan and motor belts can cause severe personal
injury or death.
Secure all loose clothing, hair, jewelry and tools to avoid
entrapment.
M o t o r
B e a r i n g
C e n t e r l i n e s
m u s t c o i n c i d
Premature belt failures are generally caused by improper belt
tension (either too tight or too loose) or misaligned pulleys.
The proper tension for operating a V-belt is the lowest tension
at which the belts will not slip at peak load conditions. For
initial tensioning, the proper belt deflection half way between
pulley centers is 1/64" for each inch of belt span. For example,
if the belt span is 64 inches, the belt deflection should be one
inch using moderate thumb pressure at midpoint of the drive,
See Figure 60, page 73.
M u s t b e
p a r a l l e l
A d j u s t a b l e
S h e a v e
Check belt tension two times during the first 24 hours of
operation and periodically thereafter. To adjust belt tensio n,
simply loosen four fasteners (two on each side of the motor
plate) and slide the motor plate away from the fan shaft until
proper belt tension is attained. On some fans, fasteners
attaching the motor to the motor plate must be loosened in
order to adjust the belt.
It is very important that the drive pulleys remain in proper
alignment after adjustments are made. Misalignment of pulleys
will result in premature belt wear noise, vibration and power
loss. See Figure 61, page 73.
Bearings
Bearings are the most critical moving part of the fan and
should be inspected at periodic intervals. Locking collars and
set screws, in addition to fasteners attaching the bearings to the
bearing plate, must be checked for tightness. In a clean
environment and temperatures above 32°F./below 200° F., fan
shaft bearings with grease fittings should be lubricated semiannually using a high quality lithium based grease. If unusual
environmental conditions exist temperatures below 32°F/
above 200°F, moisture or contaminants, more frequent
lubrication is required.
McQuay IM 791-273
Unit Options
With the unit running, add grease very slowly with a manual
grease gun until a slight bead of grease forms at the seal. Be
careful not to unseat the seal by over lubricating or using
excessive pressure. Bearings without grease fittings are
lubricated for life.
Fasteners and Setscrews
Any fan vibration has a tendency to loosen mechanical
fasteners. A periodic inspection should include checking all
fasteners and set screws for tightness. Particular attention
should be paid to setscrews attaching the propeller to the shaft
and the shaft to the bearings. Loose bearing set screws will
lead to premature failure of the fan shaft.
Lubrication
Refer to Bearings‚ page 73 for bearing lubrication. Many
fractional horsepower motors installed on the smaller fans are
lubricated for life and require no further attention. Motors
equipped with oil holes should be oiled in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions printed on the motor. Use a high
grade SAE 20 machine oil and use caution not to over
lubricate.
Motors supplied with grease fittings should be greased
according to directions printed on the motor.
Removal of Dust/Dirt
Dirt clogs cooling openings on the motor housing,
contaminates bearing lubricant and collects on propeller
blades causing severe imbalance if left unchecked. The
exterior surface of the motor, fan panel and entire propeller
should be thoroughly cleaned periodically. Use caution and do
not allow water or solvents to enter the motor or bearings.
Under no circumstances should motors or bearings be sprayed
with steam or water.
Propeller Exhaust Fan Control
Exhaust Fan On/Off Control
The Exhaust fans are turned on and off based on building static
pressure, outdoor air damper position, and discharge fan
capacity. Exhaust fans do not have to always run while the
supply fan is on, as the does a return fan. They are turned on
and off through DO # 2 on the Mod DCU as described below.
The Exhaust Fans are turned on when:
• All of the following are true for longer than the Min Start
Time (Default Time = 120 Seconds):
– OA Damper Capacity exceeds Min OA Dmpr Pos
– Either the Discharge Fan Capacity exceeds the Min DF
Cap or the Discharge Fan Control Type is Constant Vo lume. This two part condition may be able to be reduced to
one condition if there is one attribute that is set to 100%
when constant volume units are on and to the current fan
speed or actuator position for variable air volume units.
– The type of control (RF/EF Ctrl) is set to Building Pres-
sure
– The building static pressure is above the building static
pressure setpoint by more than the deadband/2.
OR
• All of the following are true for longer than the Min Start
Time (Default Time = 120 Seconds).
– OA Damper Capacity exceeds Min OA Dmpr Pos
– The Discharge Fan Capacity exceeds the Min DF Cap or
the Discharge Fan Control Type is Constant Volume. This
two part condition may be able to be reduced to one condition if there is one attribute that is set to 100% when constant volume units are on and to the current fan speed or
actuator position for variable air volume units.
– The type of control (RF/EF Ctrl) is set to Position
– The Exhaust Fan VFD capacity (Rem RF/EF Cap) is set to
a value above the Min Exh Fan Cap (Default = 25%) .
The Exhaust Fans are turned off when:
• All of the following are true:
– The type of control (RF/EF Ctrl) is set to Building Pres-
sure
– The building static pressure is below the building static
pressure setpoint by more than the deadband/2
– The Exhaust Fan capacity is at the Min Exh Fan Cap
(Default = 25%) or lower for longer than the Min Stop
Time (Default Time = 120 Seconds).
OR
• Both of the following are true:
– The type of control (RF/EF Ctrl) is set to Position
– The Remote Exhaust Fan capacity setpoint (Rem RF/EF
Cap) is set below the Min Exh Fan Cap (Default = 25%)
for longer than the Min Stop Time (Default Time = 120
Seconds).
OR
• The unit is off
Exhaust Fan Speed Control
The exhaust fan variable frequency drive can be cont rolled by
two different methods that maintain building static pressure.
Fan tracking is not provided with exhaust fans. The Exhaust
Fan VFD speed is increased through MCB-BO16 and
decreased through MCB-BO15 just like the Return Fan.
Set the minimum speed of the Exhaust Fan to Min Exh Fan Cap (Default = 25%) using the keypad on the VFD. Enter the
same minimum speed value through the MicroTech II keypad
to provide the capability to turn on and off the Exhaust Fans as
described above.
When Building Static pressure is selected, the exhaust variable
frequency drive is controlled to maintain building static
pressure directly . A mini mum speed is maintained b y the VFD,
not by MicroTech II.
74McQuay IM 791-2
Unit Options
The outputs, MCB-BO15 and MCB-BO16 will be controlled
by a Proportional/Integral (PI) algorithm that increases the
speed of the VFD in order to lower the building static pressure
When the unit is in an off state, the variable frequency drive is
turned off by turning off MCB-BO2. At the same time, MCB-
BO15 is turned on, and MCB-BO16 is turned off.
and decreases the speed of the VFD in order to raise the
building static pressure. The building static pressure will be
provided as it is now through MCB-AI14 with a range of - .25
IWC to + .25 IWC. This control algorithm is identical to that

Unit Options
Ultraviolet Lights Option
When this option is employed, ultraviolet C light bathes the
moist surfaces on the coil and drain pan, killing most microorganisms that can grow there.
Typically, ultraviolet lights are installed on the leaving side of
the cooling coils in the unit. Each light module is mounted on a
rail and is removable for convenient bulb replacement.
UV Light Power Disconnect switches (two per door) are
factory installed on every door that allows a direct line of sight
to the UV lamps when opened. These switches are designed to
prevent UV exposure when cabinet doors are opened and must
not be disabled.
A viewing window near the UV lights allows viewing to
determine if the lights are energized. The viewing windows
use specially designed glass that blocks harmful UV light.
CAUTION
UVC exposure is harmful to the skin and eyes. Looking at
an illuminated bulb can cause permanent blindness. Skin
exposure to UVC can cause cancer.
Always disconnect power to unit before servicing. Do not
operate if disconnect switch has been disabled.

Check, Test, and Start Procedures
Power-Up
1 Close the unit disconnect switch. With the control system
switch S1 in the “off” position, power should be available
only to the control transformer T1 and the compressor
crankcase heaters.
2 Turn the Switch S1 to “on”. Power should now be supplied
to the control panel, and the LED's on MCB1 should follow
the normal startup sequence (refer to the “MCB LED
Power-Up Sequence” of IM 696).
Fan Start-Up
1 Verify all duct isolation dampers are open. Unit mounted
isolation dampers may be mounted in the supply or return
sections.
2 Place the unit into the “Fan Only” mode through the
keypad menu System Summary \ System \ Ctrl Mode = Fan
Only.
3 Turn Switch S7 to “on”. The controller should enter the
“Startup Initial” operating state.
4 If the fans are equipped with optional spring isolators,
check the fan spring mount adjustment. When the fans are
running they should be level. Refer to RDT Spring Mount
Hold Down Fasteners‚ page 38.
5 Verify the rotation is correct.
6 Verif y the DHL safety is opening at a pressure compatible
with duct working pressure limits.
Note: The supply and return fan drives are usually selected for
operation in the drive's midspeed range. The return fan
drives are usually shipped with fixed pitch sheaves that
will provide the selected fan speed; however, the supply
fan drives are usually shipped with variable pitch
sheaves that are adjusted to provide the minimum fan
speed. Both drives should be adjusted for proper airflow
during air balancing. For more information, refer to Air
Balancing‚ page 82.
Economizer Start-Up
CAUTION
Adjust dampers properly. Improper adjustment may damage
the dampers.
When an economizer is ordered without an actuator, the
linkage requires a 3.14" linear stroke to fully open it. Do not
allow dampers to be driven beyond their normal full closed or
full open position.
1 Check whether the outdoor air is suitable for free cooling
by displaying the keypad menu T emperature \ OA Damper \
OA Ambient = “Low” indicates low outdoor air enthalpy;
“High” indicates high outdoor air enthalpy. Refer to
Enthalpy Control‚ page 66 to verify that the enthalpy
changeover control is working properly. You may want to
take temperature and humidity measurements.
2 Verify that switches PS1 and PS2 are at “off.” This will
prevent compressor operation during the procedure.
3 At the keypad, set the cooling setpoint low enough so that
the controller will call for cooling. The value in
T emperatur e \ Zone Cooling \ Occ Clg Spt = will need to be
adjusted below the temperature shown in Temperature \ Zone Cooling \ Control Temp =. In addition, on DAC units,
the value in Temperature \ Discharge Cooling \ DAT Clg Spt = will need to be adjusted below the temperature shown
in Temperature \ Discharge Cooling \ Disch Air =.
4 Place the unit into cooling mode through the keypad menu
System Summary \ System \ Ctrl Mode = Cool Only.
5 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. Look at menu
Temperature \ OA Dam per \ MinOA Pos = . Change this
entry to another value. Verify that the dampers move to
the new minimum position setpoint.
6 If the unit is equipped with the electromechanical enthalpy
changeover control (Honeywell H205) and the outdoor air
condition is borderline, attempt to change its input to the
MicroT ech II controller by turning the switch adjustment to
“A” or “D”. Check enthalpy status in keypad menu
Temperature \ OA Damper \ OA Ambient =. If this reading
is “Low”, go to step 5a. If it is “High”, go to step 5b.
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.
Evaporative Condenser Start-Up
1 Ve rify that the sump is completely empty and the drain
plugs are fully installed and tight.
2 Open the manual city water valve. Solenoid valve SV61
should be energized by sump water level switch WL63.
Supply water piping should be leak tight. Observe the sump
begin to fill.
3 Make sure that pumpdown switches PS1, PS2 and PS3 are
turned to “Off”.
4 Turn compressor control circuit switch CS1 to “On”.
5 Ve rify that the compressors remain off.
6 Place a jumper between terminals 57 and 59. If the sump
low water switch is working properly, spray pump M64
will remain off when the sump is empty. If the spray pump
turns on without water in the sump, pull the jumper
immediately and check the switch and associated wiring.
7 When the water fills past the low water switch WL64, the
spray pump will energize. Observe piping inside the service
section and in the condensing section. Make sure piping is
water tight and that the spray pattern is completely
covering the condensing coil.
McQuay IM 791-279
Check, Test, and Start Procedures
8 Remove the jumper and the spray pump should shut down.
9 When the water level reaches WL63, the supply water
solenoid should shut off city water into the unit.
10 If the unit is equipped with the optional sump heater, check
its internal thermostat. Set the dial to a setpoint above the
current sump temperature. Measure the current draw of the
heater and compare to the heater nameplate data. When
finished, put the setpoint back to the desired operating
value (about 50°F)
11 If the unit is equipped with optional freeze protection,
check its operation. Go to the evaporative condenser
keypad menu and set the sump dump setpoint below the
current sump temperature. Solenoid valve SV63 should
energize and start the sump draining. Solenoid valve SV61
and spray pump M64 should be de-energized. When
finished, change setpoint back to 35°F (default).
Compressor Start-Up
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 50°F.
With the supply and return fans operational, prepare for
compressor operation.
The unit is shipped with refrigeration service valves closed.
Backseat (open) the discharge, and liquid line valves. Connect
service gauges and crack the valves off the backseat position
(one turn forward). Verify that the unit has not lost its
refrigerant charge.
Verify that the crankcase heaters are operating. These should
operate for at least 24 hours before starting the compressors.
Verify that the condenser fan blades are positioned properly
and that the screws are tight (See Figure 65). The fan blade
must be correctly positioned within its orifice for proper
airflow across the condenser coils.

OATComp Lock = is set below the current outside air temperature (shown in System Summary \ Temperatures \
OA Temp =).
Note: Do not attempt to operate the compressors if the
outdoor air is too cool. See the warning statement under
Compressor Start-Up‚ page 80.
4 Turn pumpdown switch PS3 to “on.”
5 Turn compressor control circuit switch CS1 and pump-
down switch PS1 to “on.” Now refrigeration circuit #1 is
enabled and circuit #2 is disabled. Note that if the unit has
an economizer and the outdoor air enthalpy is low, the
economizer must fully open before the controller will
energize mechanical cooling. When the outdoor air damper
has fully opened and the internal timer has expired, liquid
line solenoid valve SV1 should open. If the solenoid valve
does not open, do the following:
a Verify that there is a call for cooling by checking the
keypad menu System Summary \ System \ UnitStatus =.
This should be in “Cooling”.
b Check the keypad menu System Summary \ System \ Clg
Status =. The compressors will only run if this reads either “All Clg” or “Mech Clg”.
c Trace the control circuits.
NOTICE
Venting refrigerant to atmosphere is not allowed per most
local laws and/or codes.
6 Verify that compressor #1 starts. On units without optional
low ambient start, the compressor should start shortly after
the solenoid valve opens. On units with low ambient start,
the compressor should start when the solenoid valve opens.
If the compressor motor hums but does not run, verify that
it is getting three-phase power.
The compressor should operate continuously while there is
a call for cooling. If the compressor trips on oil pressure,
see Oil Pressure‚ page 81. If the compressor cycles on its
low pressure switch, do the following:
a Verify that the circuit is not short of refrigerant.
b Check for low airflow.
c Check for clogged filters.
d Check for restricted ductwork.
e Check for very low temperature return air entering the
unit.
80McQuay IM 791-2
Check, Test, and Start Procedures
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.
h Verify that the suction service valve and the liquid line
service valves are completely open.
7 Verify that the compressors stage properly. As the circuit
loads up the second compressor (if available) will be
energized. For more information on staging sequences, see
the Binary Outputs-Auxiliary Control Boards section of
bulletin IM 696, “MicroTech II Applied Rooftop Unit
Controller”
8 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. The
CCB1 should control the remaining condenser fans based
on sump temperature conditions.
9 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
Checking Superheat‚ page 81. It should be between 10°F
(5.5°C) and 13°F (7.2°C). See “Expansion Valve Superheat
Adjustment”.
10 Close solenoid valve SV1 by turning switch PS1 to “Off.”
The circuit should pump down and then the compressor(s)
should stop. Place the unit into the “Fan Only” mode
through the keypad menu System Summary \ System \ Ctrl Mode = Fan Only.
Note: Check refrigerant circuit #2 by repeating steps 2
through 10, substituting circuit #2 nomenclature for
circuit #1 nomenclature (CS2, PS2, TD2, SV2,
CCB2, and compressor #2 (and #4).
Note: The unit is wired for one time pumpdown. The
compressor will not restart on the off cycle even if the
low pressure switch closes due to small leaks in the
solenoid valve or compressor check valve.
11
Verify that the condenser refrigerant subcooling at full
capacity is between 13 and 20°F.
Expansion Valve Superheat Adjustment
It is very important that the expansion valve superheat setting
be adjusted to be between 10°F (-12°C) and 13°F (-11°C) as
described in the steps below. Insufficient superheat will cause
liquid floodback to the compressor which may result in
slugging. Excessive superheat will reduce system capacity and
shorten compressor life.
1 Turn the adjustment stem clockwise to increase superheat.
Not exceeding one turn,
2 Adjust the stem and then observe the superheat. Allow up
to 30 minutes for the system to rebalance at the final
superheat setting.
On refrigeration circuits with multiple expansion valves, the
superheat adjustment should be approximately the same for all
valves in the circuit.
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 For units with one expansion valve per circuit, check the
pressure and temperature at the compressor suction valve.
3 For units with multiple expansion valves per circuit, check
the pressure at the compressor, and check the temperature
at the suction header that is fed by the valve.
Oil Pressure
When the compressor has operated long enough to stabilize
conditions, proper oil pressure should be maintained. The
actual oil pressure value varies from compressor to compressor
and depends upon the temperature, oil viscosity, compressor
size, and the amount of clearance in the compressor bearings.
Oil pressure values from 20 to 60 psi (138-414 kPa) (over
suction pressure) are not uncommon.
The oil level in the compressor sightglass can vary widely and
depends upon the same factors listed above. In fact, it is not
unusual for two compressors that serve the same circuit to
have very different oil levels. Therefore, it is recommended
that oil pressure, not sightglass level, be used to judge whether
there is enough oil in a refrigerant circuit. If the oil pressure is
low, additional oil should be added (use only dry refrigerant
grade oil, Sunisco 3GS, Texaco WF32, or Calumet R015).
Note: If low oil level is accompanied by heavy foaming visible
in the oil sightglass, it is possible that excess liquid
refrigerant is returning to the compressor. Check the
suction superheat and adjust the expansion valve for
10°F (-12°C) to 13°F (-11°C) of superheat.
Heating System Start-Up
General
1 At the keypad, set the heating setpoints high enough so that
the controller will call for heating. The value in
T emperatur e \ Zone Heating \ Occ Htg Spt = will need to be
adjusted above the temperature shown in Temperature \ Zone Heating \ Control Temp =. In addition, on DAC units,
the value in Temperature \ Discharge Heating \ DAT Htg Spt = will need to be adjusted above the temperature shown
in Temperature \ Discharge Heating \ Disch Air =.
2 Place the unit into heating mode through the keypad menu
System Summary \ System \ Ctrl Mode = Heat Only.
3 Ve rify that the high ambient heat lockout temperature
setpoint, Temperature \ Zone Heating \ OATHtg Lock = is
set above the current outside air temperature (shown in
System Summary \ Temperatures \ OA Temp =).
McQuay IM 791-281
Check, Test, and Start Procedures
e
Gas Furnace
Refer to the “Start-up and Operating Procedures” section of
the Forced Draft Gas Fired Furnace Installation Manual,
Bulletin No. IM 684 or 685. Perform the start-up procedures
given in it.
Electric Heat
Turn the electric heat switch HS1 to “On”. The electric heaters
should energize. If the unit has multistage electric heat, the
MicroTech II Auxiliary Control board EHB1 should energize
the heaters in successive stages. The rate of staging is set in
keypad menu Setup/Service \ Heating Setup \ Stage Time =.
The default value of “5 min” can be adjusted from 2 to 60
minutes.
Steam Heat
The steam valve actuator should open the valve. The steam
valve is open when the valve stem is up. If the unit loses
power, the spring in the actuator should drive the valve wide
open. Check this by opening system switch S1.
Hot Water Heat
The hot water valve actuator should open the valve to the coil.
The three-way hot water valve is open to the coil when the
valve stem is down. If the unit loses power, the spring in the
actuator should drive the valve wide open to the coil. Check
this by opening system switch S1.
Air Balancing
Air balancing should be performed by a qualified air balancing
technician. Note that the supply fan motors are usually shipped
with variable pitch sheaves which are typically set at the low
end of the drive's fan rpm range. See Mounting and Adjusting
Motor Sheaves‚ page 83. The return fan motors are usually
shipped with fixed pitch sheaves.
WARNING
Moving machinery hazard. Can cause severe personal
injury or death.
Use a strobe tachometer to measure the speed of return
fans. Do not use a mechanically driven tachometer on this
fan arrangement.
3 For DAC units that are using fan tracking control, adjust
the parameters for the MicroTech II controller's VaneTrol
algorithm. For complete information on using this feature,
see the “Return Fan Capacity Control” section in Bulletin
OM 137, “MicroTech II Applied Rooftop Unit Controller:
DAC Control”.
4 When the final drive adjustments or changes are complete,
check the current draw of the supply and return fan motors.
The amperage must not exceed the service factor stamped
on the motor nameplate.
5 Upon completion of the air balance, replace variable pitch
motor sheaves (if any) with comparably sized fixed pitch
sheaves. A fixed pitch sheave will reduce vibration and
provide longer belt and bearing life.
Sheave Alignment
Mounting:
1 V erify both driving and driven sheaves are in alignment and
the shafts are parallel. The center line of the driving sheave
must be in line with the center line of the driven sheave.
See Figure 66.
2 Verify that all setscrews are torqued to the values shown in
Table 17, page 98 before starting drive. Check setscrew
torque and belt tension after 24 hours of service.

Drive Belt Adjustment
General Rules of Tensioning
1 The ideal tension is the lowest tension at which the belt will
not slip under peak load conditions.
2 Check tension frequently during the first 24-48 hours of
operation.
3 Over tensioning shortens belt and bearing life.
4 Keep belts free from foreign material which may cause
slippage.
5 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.
Tension Measurem ent Proc ed ure
1 Measure the belt span. See Figure 67.
2 Place belt tension checker squarely on one belt at the center
of the belt span. Apply force to the checker, perpendicular
to the belt span, until the belt deflection equals belt span
distance divided by 64. Determine force applied while in
this position.
3 Compare this force to the values in on the drive kit label
found on the fan housing.

VM and VP Variable Pitch Sheaves
Mounting:
1 All sheaves should be mounted on the motor shaft with
setscrew “A” toward the motor (see Figure 68).
2 Be sure both the driving and driven sheaves are in
alignment and that the shafts are parallel.
3 Fit internal key “D” between sheave and shaft, and lock
setscrew “A” securely in place.
Adjusting:
1 Slack off all belt tension by moving the motor toward the
driven shaft until the belts are free from the grooves. For
easiest adjustment, remove the belts.
2 Loosen setscrews “B” and “C” in the moving parts of the
sheave and pull out external key “E” (see Figure 68). This
key projects a small amount to provide a grip for removing.
3 Adjust the sheave pitch diameter for the desired fan speed
by opening the moving parts by half or full turns from
closed position. Do not open more than five full turns for
“A” belts or six full turns for “B” belts.
Adjust both halves of two-groove sheaves by the same
number of turns from closed to ensure that both grooves
have the same pitch diameter.
McQuay IM 791-283
Check, Test, and Start Procedures
4 Replace external key “E” and securely tighten setscrews
“B” over the key. Tighten setscrews “C” into the keyway in
the fixed half of the sheave.
5 Put on belts and adjust the belt tension. Do not force belts
over grooves. Loosen the belts by adjusting the motor base
closer to the fan shaft.
6 Be sure that all keys are in place and that all setscrews are
tight before starting the drive. Check the setscrews and belt
tension after 24 hours of service.
LVP Variable Pitch Sheaves
Mounting:
1 For single-groove sheaves, slide the sheave onto the motor
shaft so that the side of the sheave with setscrew “A” is
next to the motor (see Figure 69, page 85).
For two-groove sheaves, slide the sheave onto the motor
shaft so that the side of the sheave with setscrew “A” is
away from the motor (see Figure 69, page 85).
2 T o remove the flange and locking rings:
a Loosen setscrews “D”.
b Loosen, but do not remove, capscrews “E”.
c Remove key “F”. This key projects a small amount to
provide a grip for removing.
d Rotate the flange counterclockwise until it disengages
the threads on the shaft barrel.
3 Be sure that the driving and driven sheaves are in alignment
and the shafts are parallel. When aligning two-groove
sheaves, allow room between the sheave and motor to get
to capscrews “E”.
4 Insert key “C” between the sheave and the shaft and tighten
setscrew “A” securely.
Adjusting:
Slack off all belt tension by moving the motor toward the
1
driven shaft until the belts are free from the grooves. For
easiest adjustment, remove the belts.
2 Loosen setscrews “D”.
3 Loosen, but do not remove, capscrews “E”.
4 Remove key “F”. This key projects a small amount to
provide a grip for removing.
5 Adjust the pitch diameter by opening or closing the
movable flange by half or full turns. Note that two-groove
sheaves are supplied with both grooves set at the same
pitch diameter. Both movable flanges must be moved the
same number of turns to ensure the same pitch
diameter for satisfactory operation. Do not open
sheaves more than five turns for “A” belts or six turns
for “B” belts.
6 Replace key “F”.
7 Tighten setscrews “D” and capscrews “E”.
8 Put on the belts and adjust the belt tension. Do not force
belts over grooves. Loosen the belts by adjusting the motor
base closer to the fan shaft.
9 Be sure that all keys are in place and that all setscrews and
all capscrews are tight before starting the drive. Check and
retighten all screws and retension the belts after
approximately 24 hours of operation.
MVP Variable Pitch Sheaves
(Refer to Figure 69 and Figure 70)
Adjusting:
1
Slack off belt tension by moving the motor toward the
driven shaft until the belts are free from the grooves. For
easiest adjustment, remove the belts.
2 Loosen both locking screws “A” in outer locking ring, but
do not remove them from the sheave. There is a gap of
approximately 0.2" (1 mm) between the inner and outer
locking rings. This gap must be maintained for satisfactory
locking of the sheave.
If locking screws “A” are removed by accident and the gap
is lost, screw the outer locking ring down until it touches
the inner locking ring. Then back off the outer ring ½ to 3/4
turn until the inner and outer ring screw holes are lined up.
Reinsert locking screws “A”, but do not tighten them until
after adjustment is made.
3 Adjust the sheave to the desired pitch diameter by turning
the outer locking ring with a spanner wrench. Any pitch
diameter can be obtained within the sheave range. One
complete turn of the outer locking ring will result in a
0.233" (6 mm) change in pitch diameter.] Do not open “A-
B” sheaves more than 4-3/4 turns for “A” belts or 6
turns for “B” belts. Do not open “C” sheaves more than
9-1/2 turns.
4 Tighten both locking screws “A” in the outer locking ring.
5 Put on the belts and adjust the belt tension. Do not force
belts over grooves. Loosen the belts by adjusting the motor
base closer to the fan shaft.
Important: Do not loosen any screws other than the two
locking screws “A” in the outer locking ring. These screws
must be tightened securely before the drive is operated.

Maintenance
Maintenance
CAUTION
Improper maintenance can cause severe personal injury
or death.
Installation and maintenance must be performed only by
trained, experienced personnel familiar with this type of
equipment and local codes and regulations.
WARNING
Moving machinery and electrical power hazards. Can
cause severe personal injury or death.
Lock out and tag out all power before servicing equipment.
CAUTION
Sharp edges are inherent to sheet metal parts, screws,
clips, and similar items. Can cause personal injury.
Exercise caution when servicing equipment.
Planned Maintenance
Planned 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, but guidelines are provided in Table 9. Routine
maintenance includes the following items:
Weekly
1 Clean or replace the filters as needed. Inspect every 40
hours under normal operation. More frequent inspection is
required during construction periods or any other period
that generates greater than normal filter loading
2 Check the water treatment system. Refer to IM 827 for
McQuay Chemical Free W ater T reatment System. For other
treatment systems, follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations. Generally, the following are required:
a Verify that chemical tanks have sufficient reserves.
b Verify that chemical pumps are primed and functioning.
c Confirm water hardness sensor is cleaned and
functioning.
d Inspect condenser tubes for evidence of scale buildup
e Inspect for water leaks
3 During cooling season:
a Inspect the roof area for evidence of over spray.
b Inspect the sump for buildup of mud and debris. Clean if
necessary. Refer to Sump Cleaning‚ page 95.
4 Check each circuit's refrigerant sightglass when the circuit
is operating under steady-state, full load conditions. The
sightglass should then be full and clear. If it is not, check
for refrigerant leaks.
Note: A partially full sight glass is not uncommon at part
load conditions.
5 Check for blockage of the condensate drain. Clean the
condensate pan as needed.
6 Check the power and control voltages.
7 Check and adjust all temperature and pressure controls
as needed.
8 Examine the gas furnace (see Bulletin No. IM 684 or 685).
Monthly
1 During cooling season:
a Depress the low sump water float (WL64) to confirm
spray pump shutdown
b Depress sump water float (WL63) to confirm activation
of supply water solenoid valve SV61.
2 Check for proper superheat and subcooling (see Checking
Superheat‚ page 81 and Refrigerant Charge‚ page 99).
3 Check the running amperage of all motors.
4 Check all operating temperatures and pressures.
Bi-Monthly
1 Tighten, align, and replace any frayed belts. Tighten all
wire connections, and setscrews (Note: Belts must be
checked for tightness after 24 hours of initial operation).
2 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.
3 Lubricate the motor and fan shaft bearings. See page 96
(and page 73 for EAFs).
4 Check and adjust all damper linkages.
5 Check the operation of all safety controls.
6 Check the condenser fans and tighten their setscrews.
Annually
1 At the beginning of the cooling season, perform the
complete start up (see Check, Test, and Start Procedures‚
page 78).
2 At the end of the cooling season, shut down city water,
drain and clean the sump, verify that the spray pump is
completely drained. If there is no heat in the service
compartment, flush water piping with antifreeze and either
drain the city water supply to a level below the roof, or
confirm that any field supplied heat tape is functioning.
3 Lubricate the door latch mechanisms.

Sump Cleaning
The spray operation washes articles out of the condenser air
and condenser heat rejection evaporates water. The
evaporation process leaves behind minerals and particles that
settle in the sump and sump screen. The sump screen protects
the pump and spray system and must be in place when the unit
is operating. To clean the sump (see Figure 75):
1 Drain the Sump by opening the manual Drain Valve and
pumping as much water as possible into a sanitary
sewer.Gravity
2 Gravity drain the remaining water into containers and
dispose of properly.
3 Remove the Sump Screen and clean.
4 A Hose Bib and Shut Off Valve is provided inside the
service compartment. See Figure 6, page 9. Use a hose to
wash any remaining sediment out of the drain.
Figure 75: Cleaning the Sump
5 Provide unit doors are securely closed and locked.
6 If isolation dampers are provided, verify that they are
properly installed and fully closed to prevent the entry of
animals and debris through the supply and return air
openings.
7 Units without isolation dampers should be fitted with
covers over the supply and return air openings.
Preparation
Supply (and Return) fans
1 Move the motor base to check and lubricate slides and
leadscrews.
2 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.
3 Turn the supply and return fan manual motor protectors
(MMPs) to the off position.
4 Once every month, rotate the fan and motor shafts. Mark
the shaft positions fIrst to make sure they stop in a different
position.
5 Depending on local climatic conditions, condensate can
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 McQuay Rooftop Packaged System Unit is an outdoor
unit. However, the 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:
1 Make sure that the unit is well supported along the length
of the base rail.
2 Make sure that the unit is level
(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. The condenser fins are particularly vulnerable
to damage by even light contact with ground based objects.
Cabinet Sections
1 Once a month, open a door on each section and verify that
no moisture or debris is accumulating in the unit.
Cooling circuits
1 Provide that each circuit is properly pumped down.
2 Pull the fuses to each compressor
(store them in the control cabinet)
3 Close all the refrigerant service valves on each circuit
4 Tag the valves as a warning for the technici an who will be
restarting the units
5 Note: steps 1 to 4 are not necessary if the unit had not yet
been started.
Gas Furnace
If the unit is equipped with a gas furnace, close the gas shutoff
valve and open furnace control switch S3.
Control Compartment
McQuay International recommends that the electronic
1
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.
McQuay IM 791-295
Maintenance
3 The location and wattage of the heat source will be
dependent on local environmental conditions.
4 Check the control compartment every two weeks to provide
that the heat source is functional and is adequate for current
conditions.
Restart
After extended storage, a very complete start up must be
performed. Inevitable accumulations of dirt, insect nests, etc.
can contribute to problems if not cleaned out thoroughly prior
to start up. In addition, thermal cycling will have tended to
loosen mechanical and electrical connections. Following the
start up procedure will help discover these and other issues that
may have developed during the storage interval.
Gas Furnace
For information on maintenance of the gas furnace, refer to
Bulletin No. IM 684 or 685.
Bearing Lubrication
CAUTION
Bearing overheating potential. Can cause damage to the
equipment.
Do not overlubricate bearings.
Use only a high grade mineral grease with a 200°F safe
operating temperature. Refer to the list below for
recommended lubricant types.
Motor Bearings
Supply and Return Fans—Supply and return fan motors
should have grease added after every 2000 hours of operation.
Use one of the greases shown below. using the following
procedure, lubricate the bearings while the motor is warm, but
not running.
1 Remove and clean the upper and lower grease plugs.
2 Insert a grease fitting into the upper hole and add clean
grease according to the grease charge shown in Table 10
with a low pressure grease gun.
3 Run the motor for 6 minutes before replacing the plugs.
Note: Specific greasing instructions may be located on a tag
attached to the motor. If specific lubrication instructions
are on the motor, they supersede all other instructions.
Condenser fan - Condenser fan motors are permanently
lubricated and require no periodic lubrication.
Recommended grease to be used for motor bearings:
• Polyrex EM (Exxon Mobile)
• Texaco Polystar
• Rykon Premium #2
• Penzoil Pen 2 Lube
• Chevron SRI
Table 10: SAF, RAF, & EAF Motor Relubrication Grease
Charge
Compatibility of grease is critical. Relubricatable Browning
bearings are supplied with grease fittings or zerks for ease of
lubrication with hand or automatic grease guns. Always wipe
the fitting and grease nozzle clean.
CAUTION
For safety, stop rotating equipment. Add one half of the
recommended amount shown in Table 10. Start bearing,
and run for a few minutes. Stop bearing and add the second
half of the recommended amount. A temperature rise,
sometimes 30°F (1°C), after relubrication is normal. Bearing
should operate at temperature less than 200°F (94°C) and
should not exceed 225°F (107°C) for intermittent operation.
For a relubrication schedule, see Table 11. For any
applications that are not in the ranges of the table, contact
McQuay.
CAUTION
The tables below state general lubrication
recommendations based on our experience and are
intended as suggested or starting points only. For best
results, specific applications should be monitored regularly
and lubrication intervals and amounts adjusted accordingly.

CAUTION
Failure to carefully follow installation instructions can result
in improper installation, which can cause bearing
performance problems as well as derious personal injury.
Before attempting to install or remove bearings, read
installation/removal instructions in their entirety.
Bearing Replacement
The following instructions must be read in entirety before
attempting installation or removal. The procedures indicated
should be carefully followed. Failure to do so can result in
improper installation which could cause bearing performance
problems as well as serious personal injury.
Bearings in Bolt-On Housings (Units)
1 Check area - Clean and organize bearing installation area
and keep well lit. Be sure mounting surfaces are clean and
flat.
2 Check shaft - Shaft should be within tolerance range shown
in Table 14, clean, and free of nicks and burrs. Mount
bearing on unused section of shafting or repair/replace
shafting as required.

2-7/16 and up+0 to -0.002
3 Install unit - Slide unit onto shaft. If it is difficult to mount
bearing on shaft, use a piece of emery cloth to reduce any
high spots on shaft. Do not hammer on any component of
the bearing.
4 Fasten unit in place - Install housing mounting bolts, check
and align bearing and tighten mounting bolts to
recommended fastener torques. Exercising extreme caution
and safety, rotate shaft slowly to center bearing.

Monitor Installed Bearing
After bearing has been run for several minutes, and again after
several hours, check bearing for excessive noise or vibration.
Shutdown machine and check housing temperature: typical
applications operate at 100°F - 105°F (38°C - 66°C). Tighten
all locking devices after 500 hours or 3 months, whichever
comes first.
Vibration Levels
Each unit as shipped has been trim-balanced to operate
smoothly. To provide satisfactory operation after shipping and
installation, use the accepted industry guidelines for field
balancing fans. See Table 16.
Table 16: Vibration Levels
FAN SPEED (RPM)VIBRATION
800 or less5 mils maximum displacement
801 or greater0.20 in/sec. maximum velocity
Note: Excessive vibration from any cause contributes to premature fan and motor
bearing failure. Overall vibration levels should be monitored 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 Drive faulty.
McQuay IM 791-297
Maintenance
a Variable pitch sheaves - Axial and radial runout of
flanges; uneven groove spacing; out of balance. Also
similar faults in driven sheave.
b Bad V-belts; lumpy, or mismatched; belt ten sion too
tight or too loose.
4 Bad bearings, loose bearing hold-down bolts.
5 Motor imbalance.
6 Fan section not supported evenly on foundation.
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 lock bearings, sheaves, locking collars and fan
wheel to their shafts. It is very important that all setscrews be
checked periodically to provide that they have not loosened. If
this is not done, severe equipment damage could occur.
CAUTION
Improperly tightened setscrews can lead to severe
equipment damage.
Using Table 17 and Table 18, check the tightness of all
setscrews with a torque wrench. Note that if the return fan
bearing setscrews need to be retightened, a special procedure is
required to equally load both bearings (see Return Fan Bearing
Setscrews‚ page 98).
If a setscrew is checked for proper torque and is found to be
below the minimum torque or is loose or has been removed, it
is a good indication that the assembly conditions have
changed. Do not attempt to reuse a setscrew in this case.
(Setscrews have special points designed to cut into the shaft
material to create the clamping force. Use of the proper torque
will always cause deformation of this point. Reusing a
setscrew with a deformed point will give an unknown
clamping force for a given torque.)
Before installing a new setscrew, clean out the threads in the
hole. Apply one drop of light machine oil to the threads of the
setscrew prior to installation. Excess oil or any grease will
compromise the clamping pressure that is required for proper
installation. Do not use oil with EP (extreme pressure)
additive. Do not use liquid chemical thread sealant such as
Loctite since it may foul the threads and give improper torque
settings.

Return Fan Bearing Setscrews
Because the return fan Is mounted on a vertical shaft, the
following procedure must be used to retighten any return fan
bearing setscrews that have loosened. This procedure will
provide that both bearings are equally loaded. If one bearing is
carrying the entire weight of the fan, it could fail prematurely.
1 Loosen the fan belts.
2 Support the weight of the fan and the fan shaft with timbers
or some other suitable means (see Figure 76).Important: In order to maintain proper drive alignment
and fan-to-tunnel clearance, the fan and shaft must not drop
at all when the setscrews are loosened in Step 4.
3 Verify that the upper shaft collar is securely fastened to the
shaft. Check the setscrew torque.
4 Loosen the upper and lower bearing setscrews. The entire
weight of the fan and shaft is now supported by the fan
shaft support.
5 Retighten all bearings to the torque specification given in
Table 17.
6 Remove the fan shaft support and retension the belts.

Supply Fan Wheel-to-Funnel Alignment
If the unit is equipped with an airfoil or backward curved
supply fan, the fan wheel-to-funnel alignment must be as
shown in Figure 77, Figure 78 and Figure 79, page 99 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, Table 20, and Table 21, page 99.
3 Retighten the setscrews to the torque specification given in
Table 17, page 98. 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.
Radial clearance can be adjusted by slightly loosening the
funnel hold-down fasteners, shifting the funnel as required,
and retightening the fasteners.
Take special care to add refrigerant slowly enough to the
suction to prevent damage. Adjust the charging tank hand
valve so liquid leaves the tank but vapor enters the compressor.
This is especially true with R-407C because the charge must
be drawn from the liquid portion of the tank.
CAUTION
Units purchased for R-22 operation must be charged
only with R-22. Units purchased for R-407C operation
must be charged only with R-407C.
Field mixing or changing of refrigerants can compromise
performance and damage equipment.

Subcooling
When field charging the unit, use the following to properly
charge the unit:
• All compressors on each circuit operating at full capacity.
• Allowable subcooling ranges are between 13°F to 20°F.
• Be sure to measure pressure and temperature at the same
location when finding/calculating subcooling. Compare the
actual temperature and pressures to the saturated liquid
temperature. R-407C example: A pressure of 250 psi is
McQuay IM 791-299
Maintenance
.
measured at the condenser outlet. From the R-407C chart,
250 psig is approximately 108°F saturated liquid
temperature. If the actual refrigerant temperature is 98°F , the
liquid is subcooled 10°F.
• Ambient temperature must be between 60°F and 105°F.
• Hot Gas Bypass NOT operating (only if unit is supplied with
option).
If any one of the above items is not followed, subcooling
readings will not be accurate and the potential exists for over
or undercharging of the refrigerant circuit.
Refrigerant Charging with Zeotropes
R-407C is a zeotropic mixture. During initial charging or
“topping” off a system, it is important to remove the
refrigerant from the charging cylinder in the liquid phase.
Many of the cylinders for the newer refrigerants use a dip tube
so that in the upright position liquid is drawn from the
cylinder. DO NOT vapor charge out of a cylinder unless the
entire cylinder is to be charged into the system. Refer to
charging instructions provided by the refrigerant manufacturer.

The McQuay Rooftop Unit includes the following refrigerant
sensors or switches.
The low pressure and Speedtrol sensors/ switches sense
refrigerant pressure through schrader fittings that contain
cores. The cores are stop valves that will not allow refrigerant
to flow through the schrader unless the device is in place.
Therefore the low pressure and Speedtrol sensors/switches can
be replaced without reclaiming the refrigerant.
The schrader 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.
