Refrigerant Piping
Pressure Relief Valves
All units have individual condensers per refrigerant circuit
and each condenser is provided with a spring loaded relief
valve. The valve is set to open when refrigerant pressure
reaches 400 psig. The relief valve will accommodate a 1/2"
flare connection for applications where it is necessary to
connect vent piping and run it outside the building.
CAUTION
When refrigerant is vented to the outside of the building,
the vent piping should be installed as recommended in
ASHRAE Standard 15-1994.

General
Due to the variety of piping practices, it is advisable to follow the recommendations of local authorities. They can supply the installer with the proper building and safety codes
required for a safe and proper installation.
The piping should be installed with a minimum number of
bends and elevation changes for best performance. Piping
should contain:
1.Vibration eliminators to reduce vibration and noise
transmission to the building.
2.Shutoff valves to isolate the unit from the piping system
during unit servicing.
3.Manual or automatic air vent valves at the high points of
the system.
4.Some means of maintaining adequate system water
pressure (e.g., expansion tank or regulating valve).
5.Temperature and pressure indicators located at the unit
to aid in servicing.
6.A strainer or some means of removing foreign matter
from the water before it enters the pump. It should be
placed far enough upstream to prevent cavitation at the
pump inlet (consult pump manufacturer for recommendations). The use of a strainer will prolong pump life
and help maintain system performance.
7.Size piping to minimize system pressure drop.
mizer will typically elevate the water temperature by 5
to 10°F before entering the condenser, allowing suitable
condenser water temperatures whenever the tower supply temperature is 50°F or higher. Mechanical cooling is
locked out below 55°F EWT.
6.Head pressure control must be provided if entering condenser water temperatures will go below 55°F. Fan
cycling and/or modulating discharge dampers on the
cooling tower are often used, or a 3-way bypass around
the tower to maintain condenser water temperature.
Cooling tower control to maintain the temperature at
>55°F is generally more cost effective if multiple units
are in the loop. If valves are installed on the individual
SWP units, a single water regulating valve controlled by
circuit #1 head pressure should be used. The Lead/Lag
option needs to equal “NO”. When Lead/Lag equals
“NO” circuit #1 is always first on and last off. The
refrigerant pressure line from the valve should be connected to a gauge port on any liquid line service valve
located in the compressor #1 refrigerant circuit. Compressor #1 is located at the far left of the cabinet.
If the water regulating valve is placed in service with the
unit condensers, it should be installed in the water line leaving the condenser and should shut down to prevent water
from siphoning out of the condensers. For systems where a
constant pumping head is required, the water regulating
valve may be installed in a bypass line around the condensers. It must then open on falling discharge pressu re.
Condenser Piping
1.Units may be specified with water and condensate connections on either the left or right side of the unit.
2.All units have an individual condenser per refrigerant
circuit. All condensers are factory piped for a common
condenser water supply and a common condenser water
return connection.
3.Field piping connections are made to factory provided
piping located as indicated on the unit submittal drawings. The piping connections are run to the outside of
the unit cabinet. Connections are located behind a factory mounted shipping cover. All connections are copper sweat connections as indicated on unit dimensional
drawings.
4.Supply and return water connections must be made at
the proper locations as indicated by the dimensional
drawings. Supply (water in) connection is always the
lower connection.
5.Units with factory mounted water side economizer
should not require head pressure control. The econo-
These typical systems, depending on the specific application, must maintain a constant condensing pressure regardless of temperature conditions and must assure adequate
head pressure for proper thermal expansion valve operation.
A minimum head pressure of 180 psi (95°F condensing temperature) is recommended.
7.Condenser tube velocities must not exceed 10 feet per
second.

Duct Connections
Supply Air
For connection of supply ductwork directly to the unit, a
duct collar must first be mounted at the fan outlet, avoiding
the mounting screws located around the perimeter of the fan
discharge opening (see Figure 8). Fan discharge opening
sizes are indicated on the unit dimensional drawings. When
connecting ductwork to the unit, a canvas type connecting
collar is recommended.
Units are available in two fan configurations and should be
ducted as shown in Figure 9. Duct take-offs which go opposite to the direction of fan rotati on will result in an associated
system effect loss and reduced fan performance.
If a field fabricated plenum is used, duct take-off locations
should again be correctly oriented to the rotation of the fan to
minimize system losses. Refer to unit dimensional drawings
and Figure 8 for plenum mounting size requirements. Canvas type connectors are recommended at the duct connection
to the plenum.
Units are also available with a factory provided discharge
plenum. Supply duct connections to the plenum opening(s)
should include a canvas type connector. Plenum opening
sizes and locations will be indicated on the job submittal.
Figure8. Unit top detail
Figure9. Discharge duct configurations
Return Air
Return air to the unit can be arranged in two ways.
1.Ducted return
Return ductwork may be attached to the 2" flange around the
perimeter of the unit's return air opening (Refer to Figure
10). A canvas type duct connecting collar is recommended.
All ductwork connected to the unit should be of adequate
size and construction for the application. A canvas type connector is also recommended where the duct penetrates the
machine room wall(s). This will prevent vibration generated
by air movement in the duct from being transmitted out to
the occupied spaces.
Note: Do not obstruct unit access panel located below the
return opening.
2.Free return
The mechanical equipment room may be used as a return
plenum with no hard connection at the unit.
Note: Some building codes do not allow the use of the
mechanical room as a return plenum. Applicable
local codes should be checked for each installation.

Field Wiring
General
Wiring must comply with all applicable codes and ordinances. Warranty is voided if wiring is not in accordance
with specifications. An open fuse indicates a short, ground or
overload. Before replacing a fuse or restarting a compressor
or fan motor, the trouble must be found and corrected. Copper wire is recommended for all power lead terminations.
Contact factory for information concerning aluminum wire
power lead terminations.
A single power terminal block is provided as standard and
wiring within the unit is done in accordance with the
National Electric Code. All branch circuits within the control
panel are individually fused. A single field supplied disconnect is required or a unit mounted nonfused disconnect can
be ordered with the unit.
A 7/8” knockout is located on the right-hand unit upright for
locating unit power entry. 24V field connections are suitable
for Class II wiring.
Unit Disconnect
Disconnecting means are addressed by Article 440 of the
National Electric Code (NEC) which requires 'disconnecting
means capable of disconnecting air conditioning and refrigerant equipment including motor-compressors, and controllers, from the circuit feeder." The disconnect switch should
be selected and located within the NEC guidelines. Location
requirements per NEC are that the disconnect be located in a
readily accessible position within sight (50 feet) of the unit.
A factory mounted nonfused disconnect is available.

Figure 26. Output Schematic, Compressor Control (4 Compressors/4, 5 or 6 Stage)
The high pressure switch (HP1-HP6) is a single pole pressure activated device that opens on a pressure rise. When the
switch opens it de-energizes the compressor circuit, shutting
down the compressor. The MicroTech II controller will display an alarm condition. Once the cause of the fault has been
identified and corrected, the unit may be manually reset
through the MicroTech II keypad/display interface. The control is attached to a Shrader fitting and is located at the compressor. To check the control, shut off water flow to the
condensers and observe the cutout point on a high pressure
gauge. The high pressure control should open at 360 psig
and close at 300 psig. After testing the high pressure control,
check the pressure relief device for leaks.
Low Pressure Switches
The low pressure switch (LP1-LP6) is a single pole pressure
activated device which closes on a pressure rise. It senses
evaporator pressure and is factory set to close at 60 psig and
open at 35 psig. Compressor operation is not allowed until
the switch closes. The low pressure switch is an automatic
reset control. If the condition occurs on any one compressor
three times in a 24-hour period, the alarm will have to be
manually reset through the MicroTech II keypad/display
interface to restart the compressor. The low pressure switch
is attached to a Shrader fitting and is located at the compressor.
Compressor Motor Protector
All compressors are thermally protected. All 13 horsepower
and larger compressors use a solid state protection device
(MP1 - MP6) located in the compressor junction box. Whenever the protection system opens the compressor is shut
down for a period of 36 minutes and an alarm indication is
made at the MicroTech II controller.
All 6 and 10 horsepower compressors have in-line protection. The control automatically resets when the alarm condition is removed and the time delay is satisfied.
If the condition occurs on any one compressor three times in
a 24-hour period, the alarm will have to be manually reset
through the MicroTech II keypad/display interface to restart
the compressor.
Proof of Airflow Switch
A positive proof of airflow switch (PC7) is provided with all
units. The switch is factory set to close at 0.2 inches of water
column. The switch has a field adjustable set point range of
0.17 to 5.0 inches of water column. Turn adjustment screw
clockwise to decrease differential pressure setting. Turn
adjustment screw counterclockwise to incre ase differential
pressure setting. In a constant volume system, if the fan system is energized and the minimum pressure setting of the
switch has not been reached, the unit will be shut down and a
loss of airflow alarm indicated at the MicroT ech II controller .
For variable air volume units, the unit will shutdown due to
loss of airflow only if the airflow switch is open AND the
duct static pressure is less than half the duct static pressure
setpoint. Once the reason for the fault has been corrected, the
unit can be manually reset through the MicroTech II keypad/display interface. PC7 is located in the fan section on the
motor side.
Frost Protection Switches
A frost protection switch (FP1-FP6) is used on each refrigerant circuit to protect against evaporator coil freeze up. The
frost protection switches are normally closed and open on a
drop in temperature. When a frosting condition is sensed the
compressor circuit is shutdown until the condition has been
removed. The frost protection control is an automatic reset
control. If the condition occurs on any one compressor three
times in a 24 hour period, the alarm will have to be manually
reset through the MicroTech II keypad/display interface to
restart the compressor. The MicroTech II control wi ll in dicate a warning when a frost condition exists. The temperature sensors are located on a return bend for each refrigerant
circuit.
Clogged Filter Switch
A clogged filter switch (PC5) is provided to indicate when
unit filters are to be changed. The switch is factory set to
close at 0.6 inches of H
set point range of 0.17 to 5.0 inches of H
screw clockwise to decrease differential pressure setting.
Turn adjustment screw counterclockwise to increase differential pressure setting. When the filter pressure differential
exceeds the switch setpoint, a clogged filter indication is
made at the MicroTech II controller. The unit is allowed to
continue operation. PC5 is located in the fan section on the
motor side.

Unit Options
Duct High Limit
A duct high limit (DHL) pressure control is provided as standard with all units having variable air volume control. The
duct high limit is intended to protect the ductwork, etc. from
over pressurization caused by tripped fire dampers or a control failure. When the duct pressure exceeds the setting of the
control, the unit is de-energized via the MicroTech II controller and an alarm condition indicated. After the reason for
trip has been identified and corrected, the control can be
reset via the MicroTech II keypad/display interface.
The duct high limit is factory installed including sensing tubing, and preset for a 3.0" wc trip point. The control can be
readjusted in the field to match the specific ductwork of a
project. The switch has a field adjustable set point range of
0.17 to 5.0 inches of H2O. Turn adjustment screw clockwise
to decrease differential pressure setting. Turn adjustment
screw counterclockwise to increase differential pressure setting. DHL is located in the fan section on the motor side.
Phase Fail/Under Voltage Protection
The monitor is a microprocessor controlled device which
provides protection against three-phase electrical motor loss
due to low voltage, phase loss, voltage unbalance and phase
reversal. The microprocessor constantly monitors the threephase line voltages and detects these harmful power line
conditions. Whenever any of these conditions occur, the
SWP controls are deactivated and remain deactivated until
power line conditions return to an acceptable level. Trip and
reset delays have been provided to prevent nuisance tripping
due to rapid power fluctuations. The trip and reset delays are
field adjustable. The monitor also provides a variable line
voltage adjustment.
3.The sensing tube should be located in a nonturbulent
flow area of the duct. Keep several duct widths away
from take-off points, bends or neck downs.
Mounting instructions (See Figure 28)
1.Drill hole in duct at remote sensing point and install a
rubber grommet. Insert sensing tube 1/8" into the duct
and securely clamp tubing to the duct, being sure not to
stress or kink the tubing. The end of the sensing tube
must be smooth and cut straight across. An angle cut
will affect operation.
2.Clamp a second tube to the outside of the duct at the
location of the sensing point.
3.Run both tubes along the ductwork and back to the unit.
The tubing may be routed to the pressure sensor (SPS1)
by drilling two holes through the unit upright post. A
grommet must be used at each hole to protect the tubing
and seal the cabinet.
Note: To avoid confusion between "high" and "low" tubing,
it is recommended that two different tubing colors be
used and that this information be recorded, along with
the sensing point location, on the master building blueprints.
4.Connect tubing to the high and low ports on the sensor.
Figure 28
Duct Static Pressure Sensor
All units provided with variable air volume control include a
factory mounted static pressure sensor (SPS1). The unit can
also have an optional second static pressure sensor, SPS2.
The sensor is factory wired and requires field installation of
1/4" I.D. sensor tubing to the selected duct location.
Note: Be sure that tubing complies with local code
requirements. Flame retardant plastic or metal tubing may be required. Carefully select the ductwork
sensing point for the pressure sensor. Improper
location of the sensing point will result in unsatisfactory operation of the entire variable air volume
system. The following guidelines should be adhered
to:
1.Sense near the end of long duct runs to ensure that all
terminal box take-offs along the run will have adequate
static pressure to operate.
2.The end of the sensing tube must be perpendicular to the
airflow in order to sense only static pressure.
28IM708
Building Static Pressure Sensor
If a unit has direct building static pressure control capability,
static pressure taps must be field installed and connected to
pressure sensor SPS1 in the unit. This sensor is located on
the control panel.
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
Condenser Water Flow Switch
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.Connect the tube to the 1/4 inch HI fitting on sensor
SPS1. Assure that the sensor does not support the
weight of the tubing; use tube clamps or some other
means.
5.Locate the reference pressure (LO) tap on the roof. Keep
it away from the condenser fans, waIls, 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.
6.Use an outdoor static pressure top (Dwyer A306 or
equivalent) to minimize the adverse effects of wind.
Place some type of screen over the sensor to keep out
insects. Loosely packed cotton works well.
7.Route the outdoor tap tube out of the main control panel
through a small field-cut opening in the 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
inch LO fitting on sensor SPS1.
Freezestat
A non-averaging type freezestat (FS1) is available to protect
hydronic coils from subfreezing temperatures. If the unit has
an economizer coil the control is mounted on the entering
face of the economizer coil. If the unit does not have an
economizer coil the control will be mounted on the leaving
face of the hot water coil. Upon sensing a hazardous temperature, the unit will shutdown, open hydronic control valves
and send an alarm indication via the MicroTech II controller.
The freezestat has a field adjustable setpoint range of 35°F to
40°F. The setpoint may be changed by turning the adjustment screw until pointer is opposite the desired cutout point.
The adjustment screw is accessible at the bottom of the control or at the top when the cover is removed.
A pressure differential type flow switch (WF1) is available
to verify flow to the unit condensers before compressor operation is allowed. The flow switch is factory installed in the
unit next to the condenser piping connections. If a loss of
condenser water flow is sensed, the cooling will be locked
out via the MicroTech II controller. When flow is restored,
the unit will automatically reset.
The factory settings for the water flow switch N.O. contacts
are as follows:

Water Side Economizer
A completely factory installed, piped and controlled water
side economizer system is available on any constant or variable air volume system. Whenever the entering water temperature is more than 3°F (adjustable at the MicroTech II
keypad/display) below the mixed air temperature to the unit,
the control valves modulate to provide cooling directly from
the tower water. The economizer system can be used to provide 100% of the cooling demand or supplement mechanical
cooling by precooling the return air. The economizer system
consists of a water coil and two, two-way control valves. The
unit's MicroTech II controller will modulate the control
valves to satisfy the cooling demand whenever the entering
water is suitable. When the control valves are in the 90%
open position, the unit's compressors will be allowed to be
staged on to satisfy the cooling load. When the entering
water temperature is no longer suitable, the economizer control valve will close and the unit will be on 100% mechanical
cooling.
Two valve control arrangements are available from the factory. The first maintains full flow through the unit condensers at all times. This control arrangement is used for systems
with constant pumping systems. For installations with a variable pumping system, the control valves will be sequenced
such that flow is removed from the unit whenever cooling is
not required. A mechanical clutch is provided on each valve
to manually close or open the valves.
The economizer system is factory piped and the coil takes
advantage of the same drain pan and condensate connection.
Air may be vented from the economizer coil by using the
uppermost clean out plug. The torque requirement for the
cleanout plugs is 10 inch-lb.
IM70829
Condenser Water, Head Pressure
Control
An optional condenser head pressure control valve is available on units without water side economizer. This option
permits operation with entering water temperatures below
55°F . The valve is a two-way regulating valve controlled via
MicroTech II to maintain refrigerant head pressure .
Variable Inlet Vanes
An optional variable inlet vane assembly is available for
variable air volume applications. The assembly consists of
inlet funnels with integral sets of lever-actuated radial vanes,
one assembly for each side of the fan. The vanes, upon opening, direct air in the direction of wheel rotation.
The vanes rotate 90 degrees from closed to full open in
response to the factory installed actuator motor. The actuator
is controlled by the unit's MicroTech II controller. The inlet
vanes operate in unison and are properly adjusted and tested
before the unit leaves the factory. The start-up contractor
must check the adjustments and retighten all bolts and ball
joints to insure that shipping and handling has not caused
misalignment.
Adjustable Frequency Drive
As an option an adjustable frequency drive (AFD), is available for airflow modulation. A manually activated bypass
contactor is provided to allow system operation in the event
of drive service.
Static pressure is controlled by the unit mounted MicroTech
II controller. Indication of current airflow is available at the
MicroTech II controller. Static pressure is sensed by one or
two factory mounted duct sensors. The installer provides and
installs the sensor tubing from unit mounted sensor(s) to duct
location(s). The static pressure setpoint is keypad adjustable
through the MicroTech II DDC controller.
All variable air volume units include field adjustable duct
high limit safety control to protect ductwork from excessive
duct pressure.
Disconnect Switch
A factory mounted, nonfused main circuit interrupter for disconnecting the main electrical power is available. The switch
is located at the front of the unit on the control panel and is
accessible without unit penetration. The lug size information
is provided in Tables 11 and 12.
Dual Power Supply
The dual power block is an option for the power supply. This
allows the fan motor and control circuit to be isolated from
the compressor circuit. If the unit has the optional electric
heat it will be circuited with the compressors.
Electric Heat
Optional electric heat is available. Heat is controlled by the
unit's MicroTech II unit controller to maintain setpoint. The
heaters are factory installed and wired including branch fusing and all safety controls.
Hot Water Control
A factory mounted, 1 or 2 row hot water coil is available,
with or without factory mounted control valve. The hot
water control valve is controlled by the unit's MicroTech II
controller to provide morning warm-up heat or heat for constant volume application.

System Check, Test and Start
WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Failure to bond the
frame of this equipment to the building electrical ground by use of the grounding terminal provided or other acceptable means may
result in electric shock. Disconnect electric
power before servicing equipment.
General
Only qualified personnel should perform the start-up and
service of this equipment. A representative of the owner or
the operator should be present during start-up to receive
instruction in the operation, care and adjustment of the unit.
To assure proper warranty coverage, the unit must be put
through a check, test and start-up procedure. The completed
check test and start form (supplied with each unit) must be
signed and returned to McQuay International.
Note: Always open power disconnect switch before open-
ing service panels.
Pre Start-up
1.Check that the unit is completely and properly installed
with ductwork connected. Check that all construction
debris is removed and filters are clean.
2.With all electrical disconnects open, check all electrical
connections to be sure they are tight. Although all factory connections are tight before shipment, some loosening may have resulted from shipping vibration.
3.Check all compressor valve connections for tightness to
avoid refrigerant loss at start-up. Although all factory
connections are tight before shipment, some loosening
may have resulted from shipping vibration. Refer to
Table 13 for proper valve torque values.
4.Check tightness of setscrews in bearings, drives, and fan
wheels. If retightening is needed, make certain fan
wheels are centered between the inlet openings and setscrews are torqued per Table 14.
5.Check that the fan rotates freely. Check belt tension and
alignment.
6.Check that the unit condenser water connections and
condensate drain connections have been made.
7.Before attempting to operate the unit, review the control
layout description to become familiar with the control
locations. Review all equipment service literature and
the unit wiring diagrams supplied with each unit.
Review optional controls to determine which are
included in the unit.
8.Make sure that the return air temperature sensor and
optional space temperature sensor, if used, have been
installed in the return air duct and that the wiring terminations have been made at the unit Input Board.
9.Make sure that entering and leaving condenser water
temperature sensors are mounted.
10. Make sure that the optional duct static pressure sensor is
connected to the duct with appropriate tubing. The unit
may have one optional static pressure sensor, SPS1. The
other option would be that or SPS1 and SPS2.
11. Check the voltage of the unit power supply and see that
it is within the ±10% tolerance that is allowed. Phase
voltage unbalance must be within ±2%.
12. Check the unit power supply wiring for adequate
ampacity and a minimum insulation rating of 75°C.
13. Verify that all mechanical and electrical inspections
have been completed per local codes.
14. Open the compressor suction and discharge shutoff
valves until backseated. Always replace valve seal caps.
15. The following must be done only for uni ts with 20 hp
compressors. Making sure unit switch S7 is in the
"OFF" position, throw the main power disconnect to
"ON." This will energize the crankcase heaters. Wait a
minimum of 24 hours before starting up the unit.

General
All units are factory tested to assure proper operation in the
field.
1.Close disconnect switch with switch S7 in the "OFF"
position. Allow crankcase heaters to operate for 24
hours.
2.Power should now be supplied to the MicroTech II controller and the LEDs on MCB1 should follow the normal startup sequence.
IM70831
3.Set internal MicroTech II time clock or external time
clock if used.
4.Set cooling setpoint to a value which will assure a full
call for cooling.
5.Start the auxiliary equipment for the installation such as
water pumps, cooling towers, etc.
Fan start-up
1.Place the unit into the "FAN ONLY" mode through the
keypad:
System summary:
Control Mode:
Off
Auto
Heat/Cool
Heat only
Cool only
Fan only
2.Turn switch S7 to "ON". The supply air fan should start
and run.
3.Observe fan rotation. If fan is rotating backward,
reverse two legs of the main unit supply power. Unit
compressors are factory “phased” to match the supply
fan. Do not reverse internal fan motor power leads as
this will result in the compressor being out of phase. If
fan does not run:
a.Check the control circuit fuse F1.
b.Check control transformer fuse FB7.
c.Verify that the fan overload is not tripped.
d.Check the fan motor power fuses.
e.Trace the circuits.
Compressor start-up
With the supply air fan operational, prepare for compressor
operation. Note: The unit is shipped with the refrigeration
service valves closed. Backseat (open) the suction, discharge
and liquid line valves and replace service caps.
Connect service gauges and crack valves off the backseat
position (one turn forward). Verify that the unit has not lost
its refrigerant charge due to shipping damage or leaks. The
20 hp compressor have crankcase heaters that need to be verified they are operating. These should operate at least 24
hours before starting compressors.
1.Set Cooling Control Setpoint, menu 13, to a value which
will assure a call for full cooling.
2.Place unit into the “COOL ONLY” mode through key-
pad/display.
3.If desired, the MicroTech internal control timers can be
reduced to 20 seconds. The amount of time it operates in
this “Fast” mode can be entered through the keypad:
Setup/Service
Timer setting
Service
Note: "Fast" timers should only be used to verify
sequencing of compressors during start-up. The
timer must be returned to "Normal" for proper unit
operation.
Do not allow compressors to come on repeatedly in the
"Fast" timer mode as this may damage compressors and/or
will indicate "Motor Protector Failure" under compressor
alarms.
The compressors should now start. Start compressors one at
a time, beginning with compressor number 1. Facing the
unit, from left to right, compressors are numbered #1, #3, #4
and #2.
If the compressor motor hums but does not run, verify that
the unit is getting three phase power.
The compressors should run continuously. If a compressor
cycles on the low pressure switch:
a.Verify that the circuit is not low on charge.
b.Check for low airflow.
c.Check for clogged filters.
d.Check for restricted ductwork.
e.Check for very low mixed air temperatures to the unit.
f.Verify that all the distributor tubes, expansion valve and
liquid line components are feeding the evaporator coil.
g.Verify that all fan section access panels are in place.
h.Verify that the suction service valves and the liquid line
service valves are completely open.
i.Verify that all sensor inputs are connected.
Economizer start-up
The economizer is modulated to maintain the cooling setpoint. With entering water temperature more than 3°F below
the mixed air return to the unit, place the water sensor in a
cold bath if supply water to the unit is too warm, and the unit
calling for cooling, observe that the economizer control
valve modulates open. Readjust control setting or remove
the sensor from the bath and observe that the economizer
control valve drives closed.
Hot water start-up
The hot water valve is modulated to maintain the discharge
heating setpoint. To verify the hot water valve operation,
adjust the heating setpoint through the keypad:
Temperatures
Zone heating
OCC HTG SPT
Set the heating setpoint to a temperature greater than the
control temperature plus the dead band. Note the cooling setpoint must be higher than the heating setpoint. With the heating setpoint set properly the hot water valve should modulate
open. T o close the hot water valve adjust the heating setpoint
below the control temperature minus the dead band. After
testing the hot water valve, return the heating setpoint to its
proper setting.
Expansion valve superheat adjustment
It is very important that superheat is set properly. It should
be between 10°F and 12°F under full load conditions. Lower
entering air conditions, lower airflow rates and higher condensing temperatures reduce the load on the expansion
valve. Under reduced load conditions, the superheat could be
32IM708
as low as 6°F to 8°F. Insufficient superheat will cause liquid
floodback to the compressor and possible liquid slugging.
Excessive superheat will reduce system performance and
shorten compressor life. Verify that the sensing bulb is properly located (see Figure 23) and securely strapped to the
refrigerant line. Turn the adjusting stem clockwise to
increase superheat. Adjust the stem (maximum one turn at a
time) and observe the superheat. Allow up to 30 minutes for
the system to rebalance at the final setting.
Refrigerant Charge
Units are shipped with a full operating charge of refrigerant
and oil. However, in the event of a leak in the system, some
added charge may be required. If an undercharged situation
occurs, any of the following may be experienced:
1.If a circuit is slightly undercharged, bubbles will show
in the sightglass.
2.If a circuit is moderately undercharged, it may trip on its
frost protection sensor.
3.If the circuit is severely undercharged, it may trip on its
low pressure safety.
If any of these conditions occur, first identify and correct the
source of the leak and then follow the charging procedure
described below.
Using the liquid line sight-glass as the sole means of metering additional refrigerant charge into a self-contained unit, or
any AC unit, will not always provide the desired result.
Depending on the load conditions experienced by the equipment during the charging process, adding refrigerant until
the sight-glass is clear of all bubbles may over charge the
system and cause future operating issues. The better way to
charge a circuit is to use liquid sub-cooling and suction line
superheat as indicators, using the following procedure:
1.Verify that superheat is set per the System Check, Test
& Start procedures in this manual.
2.Measure the discharge pressure reading and convert it to
a discharge temperature.
3.Measure and record the circuit's liquid line temperature.
4.Measure and record the entering condenser water tem-
perature using the MicroTech II display.
5.Calculate liquid subcooling: subcooling = discharge
temperature - liquid line temperature
6.If the calculated subcooling value is less than 8ºF, refrig-
erant needs to be added.
7.Monitoring discharge pressure and liquid line temperature, add refrigerant until the discharge temperature
minus the liquid line temperature is equal to 8ºF ± 2ºF.
If the system is running at light load conditions, subcooling should be at the low end of the range. If the system is running near design conditions, subcooling
should be near the upper end of the range.
8.Verify that superheat is still in the prescribed range.
Following this method should prevent over charging of
the circuit.

opened by setting down there respective thermostats, the
vanes should go to the maximum airflow. Upon closing
enough VAV boxes by setting their respective thermostats
up, the inlet vanes should go to the minimum airflow position.
Rpm changes
All units are provided with fixed pitch sheaves selected for
the specified operating conditions. If a new fan rpm selection
is required a new sheave selection will need to be field
installed. Adjust belt tension as described below.
Drive sheave alignment and belt tension
Drive sheave alignment should be checked using the fourpoint method shown in Figure 30. When measuring from the
straight edge to the belt, the dimensions A, B, C and D must
be equal for correct alignment.
Check drive for adequate run-in belt tension. Use the following procedure to determine proper belt tension:
Step 1. Measure span length (t) as shown in Figure 31.
Step 2. From Figure 31, the deflection height (h) is always
1/64" per inch of span length (t). For example, a 32"
span length would require a deflection of 32/64" or
1/2".
Step 3. Determine the minimum and maximum recom-
mended pounds force using Table 14. Find the minimum recommended deflection force for the belt
section and type based upon the small sheave diameter. For intermediate sheave diameters and/or drive
ratio combinations, the minimum force may be interpolated.
Step 4. Using a spring scale, apply a perpendicular force to
any one of the belts at the midpoint of the span as
shown in Figure 31. Compare this value with the values found in Step 3.
a. If the value is below the minimum, the belts are
too loose and should be tightened.
b.If the value is higher, the belts are too tight and
tension should be decreased.
When new belts are installed, the initial tension will drop.
Check tightness of all setscrews on the fan hub, bearing
sleeves and retighten belts after 48 hours of operation.
Note: If after all tension adjustments, the belts slip or
squeal when starting, increase tension slightly and
replace the belts if they are worn or glazed.

equipment.
.
CAUTION
Sharp edges are inherent to sheet metal
parts, screws, clips and similar items. May
cause personal injury.
Exercise caution when servicing equipment.
Preventative Maintenance
Preventative 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 will depend on installation
and operating duty. Routine maintenance should cover the
following items:
1.Tighten all belts, setscrews, and wire connections. (See
table 14, page 31.)
2.Clean evaporator or economizer 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.Clean condenser and economizer tubes on a periodic
basis. Condenser and economizer coils can be cleaned
chemically or mechanically . T ubing should be kept clean
to maintain system performance.
4.Lubricate motor and fan shaft bearings.
5.Align or replace belts as needed.
6.Replace filters as needed.
7.Check refrigerant sightglass. Check for refrigerant leaks
if sightglass is not solid with steady-state full load operation of unit. (Note: A partially full sightglass is not
uncommon at part load conditions. Check for proper
superheat.)
8.Check for blockage of condensate drain. Clean conden-
sate pan as needed.
9.Check power and control voltages.
10. Check running amperage.
11. Check operating temperatures and pressures.
12. Check and adjust temperature and pressure controls.
13. Check and adjust linkages.
14. Check operation of all safety controls.
15. Lubricate door latch mechanisms.
Motor Bearings
Fan motors should have grease added after every 2,000
hours of operation. Relubricate while motor is warm and at a
standstill. Remove and clean upper and lower grease plugs,
insert grease fitting into upper hole adding a small amount of
clean grease with a low pressure gun. Run motor for five
minutes before replacing plugs.
Note: Specific greasing instructions are to be found on a
tag attached to the motor. If special lubrication
instructions are shown on the motor nameplate,
they will supersede all other instructions.
CAUTION
Bearing overheating potential. Can cause damage to the equipment.
Do not overlubricate. Use only a high grade mineral
grease with a 200°F safe operating temperature.
Refer to unit lubrication instruction label for specific
lubricants
