Unit Inspection
As soon as the unit arrives at the job site
[ ] Verify that the nameplate data matches the data on the
sales order and bill of lading (including electrical data).
[ ] Verify that the power supply complies with the unit name-
plate specifications.
[ ] Visually inspect the exterior of the unit, including the roof,
for signs of shipping damage.
[ ] Check for material shortages. Refer to the Component
Layout and Shipwith Location illustration.
If the job site inspection of the unit reveals damage or material shortages,
Specify the type and extent of the damage on the "bill of
lading" before signing.
[ ] Visually inspect the internal components for shipping
damage as soon as possible after delivery and before it
is stored. Do not walk on the sheet metal base pans.
FOR ACCESS TO COMPONENTS, THE BASE SHEET
file a claim with the carrier immediately.
NO STEP SURFACE!
METAL SURFACE MUST BE REINFORCED.
EVP Chiller Considerations
The EVP chiller must be installed indoors unless:
Outdoor temperatures are always above 32 F.
System circulating liquid is a non-freezing glycol-
type solution selected for prevailing ambient
temperatures.
Chiller is protected from freeze-up by properly
installed and applied insulation and heat tape.
Note: To prevent internal chiller damage due to
freezing, do not install the EVPB chiller outdoors
without adequate freeze protection.
Allow adequate clearance at one end of the chiller to pull
the evaporator tubes and for; water and refrigerant piping
connections, space to perform service procedures, i.e. read
gauges, thermometers, and operate water system valves.
Unit Dimensions & Weight Information
Overall unit dimensional data for each unit is illustrated in
Figure 3-2A.
A Center-of-Gravity illustration and the dimensional data for
the unit is shown in Figure 3-3.
Table 3-1A lists the typical operating and point loading
weights for the unit.
Bridging between the unit's main supports may con-
sist of multiple 2 by 12 boards or sheet metal grating.
Failure to comply can cause severe personal injury
or death from falling.
[ ] If concealed damage is discovered, notify the carrier's
terminal of damage immediately by phone and by mail.
Concealed damage must be reported within 15 days.
Request an immediate joint inspection of the damage by
the carrier and the consignee. Do not remove damaged
material from the receiving location. Take photos of the
damage, if possible. The owner must provide reasonable
evidence that the damage did not occur after delivery.
[ ] Notify the appropriate Trane office before installing or re-
pairing a damaged unit.
Unit Clearances
Figure 3-1 illustrates the minimum operating and service
clearances for either a single, multiple, or pit application.
These clearances are the minimum distances necessary to
assure adequate serviceability, cataloged unit capacity, and
peak operating efficiency.
Providing less than the recommended clearances may result in condenser coil starvation or recirculation of hot condenser air.
EVP chiller barrel mounting footprints and overall dimensional data is illustrated in Figure 3-2B.
Table 3-1B lists the typical EVP operating weights and general data.
Foundation
If the unit is installed at ground level, elevate it above the
snow line. Provide concrete footings at each support location or a slab foundation for support. Refer to Table 3-1A for
the unit operating and point loading weights when constructing the footing foundation.
Anchor the unit to the footings or slab using hold down bolts
or isolators. Isolators should be installed to minimize the
transmission of vibrations into the building. Refer to the
“Unit Isolation” section for spring or rubber isolator installation instructions.
For rooftop applications, ensure the roof is strong enough to
support the unit. Refer to Table 3-1A for the unit operating
weights.
Anchor the unit to the roof with hold-down bolts or isolators.
Follow the instructions under “Unit Isolation” for proper isolator placement and installation.
Check with a roofing contractor for proper waterproofing
procedures.
Locate the unit as close to the applicable system support
equipment as possible to minimize refrigerant piping
lengths.
The EVP chiller barrel must be installed level and should be
mounted on a base that will adequately support the operating weight. Refer to Table 3-1B for operating weights.

Rigging
A Rigging illustration and Center-of-Gravity dimensional
data table is shown in Figure 3-3. Refer to the typical unit
operating weights table before proceeding.
1. Rig the condensing unit as shown in Figure 3-3. Attach
adequate strength lifting slings to all four lifting brackets
in the unit base rail. Do not use cables, chains, or slings
except as shown.
2. Install spreader bars, as shown in Figure 3-3, to protect
the unit and to facilitate a uniform lift. The minimum distance between the lifting hook and the top of the unit
should be 7 feet.
3. Test-lift the unit to ensure it is properly rigged and balanced, make any necessary rigging adjustments.
4. Lift the unit and position it into place.
Unit Isolation
To minimize unit sound and vibration transmission, one of
the following installation methods should be used:
1. Install the unit directly on an isolated (detached) concrete
pad or on isolated concrete footings located at each unit
load point.
2. Install the optional spring isolators at each mounting location. Refer to the following “Spring Isolator” section.
Spring Isolators
Install the spring isolators at each unit mounting (load)
point, using the following procedure:
1. Elevate the unit (one side at a time) to allow access to
the base rail mounting holes.
Note: Use solid type blocks, i.e. 4" X 4" wood
blocks or similar material to prevent collapsing.
Keep hands and other body limbs clear of elevated
base rail while installing isolators to prevent
personal injury.
2. Align the mounting holes in the base rail of the unit with
the positioning pin in the top of the appropriate isolator.
Refer to Figure 3-4 for the appropriate isolator for each
load point.
3. Position the isolator to allow access to the mounting
holes in the base of the isolator.
4. Lower the unit onto the isolator. The positioning pin on
the isolator must engage into the hole of the base rail.
The clearance between the upper and lower isolator
housings should be approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Refer
to Figure 3-4. A clearance greater than 1/2 inch indicates
that shims are required to level the unit. Refer to the
“Leveling the Unit” section.
5. Make minor clearance adjustments by turning the isolator
leveling bolt (Figure 3-4) clockwise to increase the clearance and counterclockwise to decrease the clearance. If
proper isolator clearance cannot be obtained by turning
the leveling bolt, level the isolators themselves. A 1/4
inch variance in elevation is acceptable.
6. Secure the isolator to the mounting surface using the
base holes in the isolator.
7. After the unit is level, tighten the isolator base mounting
bolts to secure them to the mounting surface.

2. The spring number is marked on the outside of the spring housing, i.e. CP-1-27 is marked 27.
If the isolator is color coded, there is a painted mark on each spring as follows;
CP-2-27 = one orange markCP-1-31 = two yellow marks
CP-1-28/CP-2-28 = one green markCP-1-32 = one white mark
3. Refer to the "Spring Isolator" section, step 4, for proper clearance.
Leveling the Unit
Before tightening the mounting bolts, level the unit carefully.
Use the unit base rail as a reference. Level the unit to within
1/4 inch over its entire length. Use shims if non-adjustable
isolators (neoprene) are used.
If adjustable isolators (spring) are used, ensure that the
proper isolator housing clearance is maintained while leveling the unit. Isolators are identified by color and/or an isolator part number. Shims under the isolators may be required
if the unit can not be leveled using the isolator leveling bolt.

Refrigerant Line Components
Suction line refrigerant components necessary for field
installation in the suction line are a filter (Core Type),
access valves (ports), FrostatTM control for coil frost
protection, and ball shutoff valves. They are placed in the
Suction line as illustrated in Figure 3-7.
The required refrigerant components include a filter drier
(Core Type), access valve(s) or (ports), solenoid valve(s),
moisture indicating sight glass, expansion valve(s), and ball
shutoff valve(s). They are placed in the liquid line as shown
in Figure 3-7.
Suction And Liquid Line Filter/Filter Drier (Field
Supplied)
Install the filter in the suction line upstream of the
compressors. It should be installed so the canister is at
either a 45 or 90 degree angle to prevent oil accumulation.
Install the filter drier in the liquid line as close as possible to
the expansion valves. Locate them upstream of the
moisture indicator and solenoid valve.
Refer to the Filter/Filter Drier Table for recommendations.
Liquid Line Moisture Indicator Sight Glass
To aid in troubleshooting, install a moisture indicator sight
glass in the liquid line near the evaporator, down stream of
the solenoid valve prior to any branch takeoffs to the
expansion valve. The sight glass should not be used to
determine adequate refrigerant charge or sub-cooling.
Actual temperature measurements are required to
determine proper charge and sub-cooling.
Refer to the Solenoid Valve/Moisture Indicator Sight Glass
Table for recommendations.
Liquid Line Solenoid Valves
Liquid line isolation solenoid valves are required for
refrigerant migration control into the evaporator during the
“Off” cycle and should be connected as illustrated in the
applicable field connection diagram.
Under certain conditions, liquid line solenoid valves may be
used to trim the amount of active evaporator as
compressors unload. Generally, the trim solenoid valve is
unnecessary on comfort cooling VAV systems, and is only
required on CV systems when dehumidification is a
concern.
Refer to the Solenoid Valve/Moisture Indicator Sight Glass
Table for recommendations.
Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TEV)
Trane recommends a balance-ported externally equalized
valve in order to maintain satisfactory superheat control
down to lower valve loading conditions and to compensate
for pressure drops between the expansion valve and
superheat control point (evaporator refrigerant outlet).
In order to get proper refrigerant distribution into the coil, an
expansion valve is required for each coil distributor.
Access Valves (Ports)
The access ports in the liquid line allows the unit to be
charged with liquid refrigerant and is used to determine
sub-cooling.
The access ports in the sucton line allows the operating
suction pressure to be checked across the suction line filter.
These ports are usually a Schraeder valve with core.
Ball Shutoff Valves
The ball shutoff valve allows for isolation of the Filter/Filter
Drier for easier core replacement.
Two ball shutoff valves equal to the OD Tubing size for both
the liquid line and suction line are required.
FrostatTM Coil Frost Protection
The Froststat control is the preferred method of coil frost
protection. The Frostat control bulb is mechanically
attached to the suction line near the evaporator and wired
to the unit control panel. Refer to the proper field
connection diagram for details.

Refrigerant Piping
Refrigerant piping must be properly sized and applied.
These two factors have a very significant effect on both system performance and reliability.
Note: Use Type “L” refrigerant grade copper tubing
only.
Refrigerant Piping should be sized and laid out according to
the job plans and specifications. This should be done when
the system components are selected
Suction Line Piping
Proper suction line sizing is required to guarantee that oil is
returned to the compressor throughout the operating systems. Furthermore, the line must be sized so that the pressure drop does not excessively affect capacity or efficiency.
To accomplish both, it may be necessary to have two sizes,
one for horizontal run and vertical drops, and another for
the vertical lifts. The suction line size pre-selected in the
Table below are independent of the line length for a properly charged RAUC unit operating in a normal air conditioning application.
For more information, refer to the latest edition of Application Guide SS-APG001-EN.
1.Do not use suction line traps.
2.Do not use double risers.
3.Avoid putting liquid lines underground.
4.Route suction lines as short and direct as possible.
5.Slope suction lines toward the evaporator ¼-inch to 1-
inch for every 10 feet.
6.Insulate the suction lines.
7.The suction line filter should be as close to the com-
pressor as possible.
Note: If Suction Riser Exceeds 50 Feet, Trane Must
Review The Application.
Liquid Line Piping
Liquid line sizes are based on their ability to provide a minimum of 5 degrees F (2.7
valve throughout the unit’s operating envelope. Increasing
the liquid line size does not increase the available sub-cooling. The uniform liquid line size, pre-selected in the Table
below, are independent of the line length or rise with in the
permissible guidelines to maintain this minimum required 5
degree F (2.7oC) sub-cooling at the expansion valve for a
properly charged RAUC unit operating in a normal air conditioning application.
The liquid line should have a slight slope in the direction of
flow so that it can be routed with the suction line.
The unit has a liquid line check valve that prevents liquid refrigerant from flowing backward through the liquid line, filling the condenser, and overflowing to the compressor during the “Off” cycle. A relief valve is also installed to prevent
the build up of high pressure in the liquid line when the unit
is off. For proper operation of the relief valve, the liquid line
service valve should not be in the back seated position but
cracked open so the relief valve (and the fan pressure
switch) is open to the condenser. The line that connects the
outlet of the 235 psig relief valve to the liquid line service
valve must not be removed.
For more information, refer to the latest edition of Application Guide SS-APG001-EN.
1.Avoid putting liquid lines underground.
2.Route liquid lines as short and direct as possible.
3.Slope liquid lines away form the condensing unit 1-inch
for every 10 feet.
4.Only insulate liquid lines that pass through heated
areas.
5.Wire solenoid valves according to the field connection
diagram for proper pump down operation.
6.The liquid line filter drier should be as close to the solenoid valve as possible.
Note: If The Liquid Line Riser Exceeds 10 Feet,
Trane Must Review The Application
Note: If risers exceed 10 feet, the application
must be reviewed by Trane.

Optional Pressure Gauges
When a unit is ordered with optional pressure gauges, (“F”
in the miscellaneous digit of the model number), a set of
gauges and the necessary mounting hardware ship in the
location illustrated in the Unit Component “Layout” and
“Shipwith” Location. The mounting location and tubing configuration for the optional pressure gauges after field installation is shown below.
1. Assemble the valve depressor, flare nuts, 1/4" copper
tubing, 90 degree flare elbows, gauge & gauge bracket
together as shown in Detail “A” & “B”.
Note: Wrap all appropriate pipe threads with teflon
tape before assembly.
24
Page 25
Installation (Continued)
2. Remove the valve stem cap and place the valve depressor (with tubing connected) onto the valve stem and
tighten.
Note: Do not install the valve depressor without the
tubing being connected. If gauges need to be
replaced, remove valve depressor from valve stem,
first, to prevent loss of refrigerant charge.
3. Using the gauge bracket as a template for the self tapping screws, mount the gauge bracket approximately 1/
2" to 3/4" from the outer edge of the base rail, relative to
the compressors for that circuit, as illustrated.
4. Apply 6" strips of edge protector to both side flanges of
the gauge bracket, to prevent the bracket from cutting
into the power wires.
Final Refrigerant Pipe Connections
To access the refrigerant pipe connections, remove the louvered side grills. Refer to Figure 3-2.
These condensing units are shipped with a Nitrogen holding charge. Install pressure gauges to the appropriate access valve(s) and take a reading. If no pressure is present,
refer to the “Leak Testing Procedure” section. If pressure is
present, relieve the pressure before attempting to unsweat
the “seal” caps. If refrigerant connections are not capped,
but are “spun-end” tubes, use a tubing cutter to remove the
end from the pipe.
Note: To prevent damage to the system, do not drill
a hole in the seal caps or saw the ends off pipe
stubs. This may introduce copper chips into the
system piping.
Brazing Procedures
Proper brazing techniques are essential when installing refrigerant piping. The following factors should be kept in
mind when forming sweat connections.
1. When copper is heated in the presence of air, Copper oxide forms. To prevent copper oxide from forming inside
25
Page 26
Installation (Continued)
the tubing during brazing, sweep an inert gas, such as
dry nitrogen, through the tubing. Nitrogen displaces air in
the tubing and prevents oxidation of the interior surfaces.
A nitrogen flow of one to three cubic feet per minute is
sufficient to displace the air. Use a pressure regulating
valve or flow meter to control the flow.
USE NITROGEN ONLY TO PURGE THE SYSTEM
WHILE SWEATING CONNECTIONS.
Failure to follow proper procedures can result in per-
sonal injury or death due to a possible formation of
an explosive mixture of R-22 and air and/or inhala-
tion of phosgene gas.
2. Ensure that the tubing surfaces to be brazed are clean,
and that the ends of the tubes have been carefully
reamed to remove any burrs.
3. Make sure the inner and outer tubes of the joint are symmetrical and have a close clearance, providing an easy
slip fit. If the joint is too loose, the tensile strength of the
connection will be significantly reduced. The overlap distance should be equal to the diameter of the inner tube.
4. Wrap the body of each refrigerant line component with a
wet cloth to keep it cool during brazing. Move any tube
entrance grommets away for the brazing area.
Note: Use 40 to 45% silver brazing alloy (BAg-7 or
BAg-28) on dissimilar metals. Use BCup-6 brazing
alloy on copper to copper joints.
5. If flux is used, apply it sparingly to the joint. Excessive
flux can enter the system which will contaminate the refrigerant system.
6. Apply heat evenly over the length and circumference of
the joint to draw the brazing material into the joint by
capillary action. Remove the brazing rod and flame from
the joint as soon as a complete fillet is formed to avoid
possible restriction in the line.
7. Visually inspect the connection after brazing to locate
any pin holes or crevices in the joint. The use of a mirror
may be required, depending on the joint location.
Leak Testing Procedure
When Leak-testing a refrigerant system, observe all safety
precautions.
Trane condensing units are shipped with a Nitrogen holding charge. If there is no pressure, the unit must be leak
tested to determine the location of leak as follows:
Note: These service procedures require working
with refrigerant, Do NOT release refrigerant to the
atmosphere! The service technician must comply
with all federal, state, and local laws. Refer to
general service bulletin MSCU-SB-1 (latest edition).
Use refrigerant gas as a tracer for leak detection and use
oil-pumped dry nitrogen to develop the required test pressure. Test the high and low side of the system at pressures
dictated by local codes.
1. Close the field supplied liquid line service valve(s) installed near the evaporator and the compressor discharge service valve to isolate the system's high side
from the low side. Pressure test the liquid line, discharge
line, and condenser coils at pressures dictated by local
codes. Do not exceed 10# above the pressure control
settings.
2. Connect a refrigerant cylinder to the charging port of the
liquid line service valve. Use the refrigerant to raise the
high side pressure to 12 to 15 psig.
3. Disconnect the refrigerant cylinder. Connect a dry nitrogen cylinder to the charging port and increase the high
side pressure. Do not exceed the condenser maximum
working pressure listed on the unit nameplate.
4. Use a halide torch, halogen leak detector or soap
bubbles to check for leaks. Check all piping joints,
valves, etc...
5. If a leak is located, use proper procedures to remove the
refrigerant/nitrogen mixture, break the connection and remake as a new joint. Retest for leaks after making repairs.
6. Repeat the test procedure for the low side of the system,
charging through the suction pressure gauge port or
through an access provided on the suction line by the installer. Increase the system pressure to 100 psig.
7. If a leak is located, use proper procedures to remove the
refrigerant/nitrogen mixture, break the connection and remake as a new joint. Retest for leaks after making repairs.
8. Open the liquid line service valve and the compressor
discharge service valve.
Note: Never use oxygen, acetylene or compressed
air for leak testing. Always install a pressure
regulator, shutoff valves and gauges to control
pressure during leak testing.

will be used to establish a balanced flow.
Note: Both the entering and leaving water lines
should have shutoff valves installed to isolate the
evaporator for service.
Strainer
Install a pipe strainer in the water return line to protect the
components from entrapped debris.
Chiller Drain
The chiller drain should be piped to a suitable drain facility
to facilitate evaporator draining during service or shutdown
procedures. Provide a shutoff valve in the drain line.
Note: The EVP chiller ships without the drain plug
installed. If drain piping is not installed, remove the
drain plug from the EVP control panel and install it
in the drain port before filling the system with
water.
Chiller Flow Switch
Install a flow switch or other flow sensing device, illustrated
in Figure 3-9, to prevent or stop the compressor operation if
the water flow drops off drastically. A flow switch ships with
a each unit when a “T” is included in the miscellaneous digit
of the model number. Locate the device in the chilled water
supply line (water outlet) as shown in Figure 3-8. Refer to
the field wiring and unit schematics for the flow switch electrical interlock connections.
Water Temperature Sensor
The Temperature Sensor and Sensor-well must be installed
using the threaded connection provided on the chiller barrel
leaving water pipe. Both devices are shipped inside the
unit’s shipwith location. Thermal paste must be used when
installing the sensor into the sensor-well. Refer to Figure 32B for the sensor location and dimensional data.
Water Shutoff Valves
Provide shutoff valves in the “Supply” and “Return” pipe
near the chiller so the gauge(s), thermostats, sensors,
strainer, etc., can be isolated during service.
Note: Failure to use thermal paste could result in
erratic temperature sensing resulting in equipment
damage.

Variable Air Volume Control
(Honeywell W7100A)
In a variable air volume system, the desired space temperature is maintained by varying the amount of conditioned air
being delivered to the space. As the cooling requirements of
the space decreases, less air is delivered to the zone; conversely, as the cooling requirements of the space increases,
a greater volume of air is delivered to the zone.
The descriptions of the following basic input devices used
with the Honeywell W7100A discharge air controller are to
acquaint the operator with their function as they interface
with the controller. Refer to the field connection diagram in
Figure 3-13 for the specific component connections at the
unit control panel.
For discussion of evaporator fan interlock, hot gas bypass,
and economizer connections, refer to the “Controls Using
115 VAC” section. Refer to Figure 3-12 for the specific component connections.

With the sensor installed in its proper location within the
chilled water piping (Figure 3-7), connect shielded cable
(Belden 8760 or equivalent) from the sensor leads to the
leads inside the remote panel. Refer to Figure 3-14 for the
electrical access into the remote panel and the field connection diagram illustrated in Figure 3-15 for the final cable
termination points.
Note: Connect the shield ground to the ground
screw inside the remote panel. Do not connect both
ends of the shield to ground.
Outside Air Thermostat
(5S57 Field Provided)
The setpoint for the outside air thermostat is based upon
the working ambient selected when the unit was ordered. A
Zero (“0”) in the 11th digit of the model number indicates
the system is designed for standard ambient operation of
40oF and above. A One (“1”) in the 11th digit of the model
number indicates the system is designed for low ambient
operation of 0oF and above. Therefore, select a thermostat
with the appropriate operating range based on the unit
specifications.
Refer to the field connection diagram for the specific connection points inside the remote panel.

System Pre-Start Procedures
Use the checklist provided below in conjunction with the
“General Unit Requirement” checklist” to ensure that the
unit is properly installed and ready for operation. Be sure to
complete all of the procedures described in this section before starting the unit for the first time.
[ ] Turn the field supplied disconnect switch, located up-
stream of the unit, to the “Off” position.
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!
DISCONNECT ALL ELECTRIC POWER INCLUDING
REMOTE DISCONNECTS BEFORE SERVICING.
Failure to disconnect power before servicing can
cause severe personal injury or death.
[ ] Turn the “System” selection switch (at the Remote Panel)
to the “Off” position and the “Fan” selection switch (if applicable) to the “Auto” or “Off” position.
[ ] Check all electrical connections for tightness and “point
of termination” accuracy.
[ ] Verify that the condenser airflow will be unobstructed.
[ ] Check the condenser fan blades. Ensure they rotate
freely within the fan orifices and are securely fastened to
the fan motor shaft.
[ ] Verify that all compressor service valves, discharge ser-
vice valves, and liquid line service valves are back
seated on each circuit.
[ ] Inspect the interior of the unit for tools and debris in
preparation for starting the unit and complete the remainder of the “Pre-start” procedures before starting the unit.
System Evacuation Procedures
Each refrigeration circuit for split system applications must
be evacuated before the unit can be started. Use a rotary
type vacuum pump capable of pulling a vacuum of 100 microns or less. Verify that the unit disconnect switch and the
system control circuit switches are “OFF”.
The oil in the vacuum pump should be changed each time
the pump is used with a high quality vacuum pump oil. Before using any oil, check the oil container for discoloration
which usually indicates moisture in the oil and/or water
droplets. Moisture in the oil adds to what the pump has to
remove from the system, making the pump inefficient.
When connecting the vacuum pump to a refrigeration system, it is important to manifold the vacuum pump to both
the high and low side of the system (liquid line access valve
and suction line access valve). Follow the pump
manufacturer’s directions for the proper methods of using
the vacuum pump.
The lines used to connect the pump to the system should
be copper and of the largest diameter that can practically
be used. Using larger line sizes with minimum flow resistance can significantly reduce evacuation time. Rubber or
synthetic hoses are not recommended for system evacuation because they have moisture absorbing characteristics
which result in excessive rates of evaporation, causing
pressure rise during the standing vacuum test. This makes
it impossible to determine if the system has a leak, excessive residual moisture, or a continual or high rate of pressure increase due to the hoses.
COMPRESSOR SERVICE VALVES!
COMPRESSOR SERVICE VALVES MUST BE FULLY
OPENED BEFORE START-UP (SUCTION, DIS-
CHARGE, LIQUID LINE, AND OIL LINE).
Failure to fully open valves prior to start-up may
cause compressor failure due to lack of refrigerant
and/or oil flow.
[ ] Inspect the interior of the unit for tools and debris.
EVP Chiller Applications
[ ] Fill the chilled water system.
[ ] Vent the chilled water system at the highest points in the
system. Vent the air out of the chiller barrel by removing
the vent pipe plug, located on the top of the chiller barrel.
Replace the vent plug when the chiller barrel is full of water.
[ ] Once the system has been filled, inspect the entire
chilled water piping system for leaks. Make any necessary repairs before proceeding.
Note: To avoid possible equipment damage, do not
use untreated or improperly treated system water.
An electronic micron vacuum gauge should be installed in
the common line ahead of the vacuum pump shutoff valve,
as shown inFigure 4-1. Close Valves B and C, and open
V alve A.
Start the vacuum pump, after several minutes, the gauge
reading will indicate the maximum vacuum the pump is capable of pulling. Rotary pumps should produce vacuums of
100 microns or less.
Note: Do not, under any circumstances, use a
megohm meter or apply power to the windings of a
compressor while it is under a vacuum. Electrical
shorting between motor windings and/or housing
can occur while in a vacuum, causing motor
burnout.
Open Valves B and C. Evacuate the system to a pressure
of 300 microns or less. As the vacuum is being pulled on
the system, there could be a time when it would appear that
no further vacuum is being obtained, yet, the pressure is
high. It is recommended that during the evacuation process,
the vacuum be “Broken”, to facilitate the evacuation process.
To break the vacuum;
Shutoff valves A, B, & C and connect a refrigerant
cylinder to the charging port on the manifold. Purge
the air from the hose. Raise the standing vacuum

S
pressure in the system to “zero” (0 psig) gauge
pressure. Repeat this process two or three times
during evacuation.
Note: It is unlawful to release refrigerant into the
atmosphere. When service procedures require
working with refrigerants, the service technician
must comply with all Federal, State, and local laws.
Refer to the General Service Bulletin MSCU-SB-1
(latest edition).
Standing Vacuum Test
Once 300 microns or less is obtained, close Valve A and
leave valves B and C open. This will allow the vacuum
gauge to read the actual system pressure. Let the system
equalize for approximately 15 minutes. This is referred to as
a “standing vacuum test” where, time versus pressure rise.
The maximum allowable rise over a 15 minute period is 200
microns. If the pressure rise is greater than 200 microns but
levels off to a constant value, excessive moisture is
present. If the pressure steadily continues to rise, a leak is
indicated. Figure 4-2 illustrates three possible results of the
“standing vacuum test”.
If a leak is encounter, repair the system and repeat the
evacuation process until the recommended vacuum is obtained.
Once the system has been evacuated, break the vacuum
with refrigerant, and complete the remaining “Pre-Start Procedures” before starting the unit.

air sensor).
7. Remove the 3,400 ohm resistor (blue leads) from the test
kit and connect it across terminals T and T1 to simulate a
discharge air temperature of 60 F.
8. Set the “Setpoint F” dial at 56 F or below; then set the
“Control Band F” dial at 2 to minimize the control response time.
9. At the Discharge Air controller, verify that the controller
ground wire is connected to the chassis ground. Refer to
the unit wiring diagram that shipped on the unit.
Note: It is not necessary to set the “Reset F” dial
since the factory installed jumper across Terminals
6 and 7 disables this dial.
10. Turn the control circuit switch 1S2, in the unit control
panel, and the main power disconnect switch for the condensing unit to the “ON” position.
After approximately 2 minutes (time required to drive the

11. At the Discharge Air Controller, use a digital voltmeter to
verify there is 24 volts AC across terminals TR & TR.
12. Set the “Setpoint F” dial at 64 F; within 10 seconds, the
LEDs should turn “Off” as the cooling outputs stage “Off”.
13. Immediately readjust the “Setpoint F” dial to 56 F; the
LEDs should begin to illuminate again as the cooling outputs stage “On”.
If the unit includes the zone reset option, proceed to the
next step; if not, proceed to step 18.
14. Set the “Reset F” dial at 15 F and the “Setpoint F” dial
at 41 F; then remove the jumper across terminals 6 & 7.
To simulate a call for maximum reset, install the 1780 ohm
resistor (red leads), from the test kit, across terminals 6
and 7. The cooling LEDs should remain lit.
15. Turn the “Setpoint F” dial to 49 F; within 1 to 2 minutes,
the LEDs should turn “Off” as the cooling outputs stage
“Off”.
16. As soon as all of the cooling LEDs are “Off”, remove the
1780 ohm resistor from terminals 6 and 7 and re-install
the jumper across these terminals.
17. Adjust the “Setpoint F” dial to 56 F; within 1 minute, the
LEDs should illuminate as the cooling outputs stage
“On”.
If the system includes an economizer, complete steps 18
through 23 to verify proper economizer control operation; if
not, proceed to step 24.
18. With all of the cooling LEDs “On”, measure the DC voltage across terminals R (-) and W (+). The measured
voltage should be 1.7 VDC to 2.1 VDC.
19. Set the “Setpoint F” dial at 64 F to drive the economizer
output to the minimum position.
Within 2 minutes, the LEDs should turn “Off” as the cooling outputs stage “Off”.
In approximately 5 minutes; measure the voltage across
terminals R (-) & W (+). The measured voltage should
drop to approximately 0.2 VDC.
20. Turn the control circuit switch 1S2, in the unit control
panel, and the main power disconnect switch to the
“OFF” position.

Voltage Imbalance
Excessive three phase voltage imbalance between phases
will cause motors to overheat and eventually fail. The maximum allowable voltage imbalance is 2%. Measure and
record the voltage between phases 1, 2, and 3 and calculate the amount of imbalance as follows:
% Voltage Imbalance =100 X AV - VD where;
AV (Average Voltage) =
V1, V2, V3 = Line Voltage Readings
VD = Line Voltage reading that deviates the farthest from
the average voltage.
Example: If the voltage readings of the supply power
measured 221, 230, and 227, the average volts would
be:
221 + 230 + 227 = 226 Avg.
VD (reading farthest from average) = 221
The percentage of Imbalance equals:
100 X
The 2.2% imbalance in this example exceeds the maximum
allowable imbalance of 2.0%. This much imbalance between phases can equal as much as a 20% current imbalance with a resulting increase in motor winding temperatures that will decrease motor life. If the voltage imbalance
is over 2%, notify the proper agencies to correct the voltage
problem before operating this equipment.

Sequence of Operation
VAV W7100A Discharge Air Controller (7U11)
The discharge air controller used in Variable Air Volume applications is a Honeywell W7100A. This microprocessor
controller is designed to maintain an average discharge air
(D/A) temperature by:
1. monitoring the discharge air temperature sensor;
and
2. modulating economizer dampers and sequencing
stages of mechanical cooling “On” or “Off”, as
required.
The W7100A receives analog input from the discharge air
sensor mounted in the supply duct every 2 to 3 seconds by
pulsing DC current across the sensor, then “reading” the
voltage potential across this thermistor.
If the comparison between the setpoint and the actual discharge air temperature indicates that cooling is required,
the W7100A attempts to satisfy the load by modulating the
economizer open (if applicable).
Economizer Cycle
The economizer is only allowed to function if the ambient
conditions are below the setpoint of the enthalpy switch.
A second economizer “algorithm” within the W7100A is the
response time of the controller. The greater the amount of
deviation between the discharge air temperature and the
economizer control point, i.e., as the temperature strays further from the control point, the response time becomes
faster; and, as the discharge air temperature approaches
the control point, the response time becomes slower.
When the discharge air temperature is within the “Deadband” (± 1.5oF of the economizer control point); the
W7100A maintains the economizer’s present position.
When the economizer can not handle the cooling requirement or when the outdoor ambient conditions are unsuitable for “economizing”, the W7100A activates the unit’s mechanical cooling section.
Note: As long as ambient conditions are suitable
for economizing, the economizer works in
conjunction with the mechanical cooling operation.
The control algorithm used by the W7100A to add stages of
cooling is illustrated in Figure 5-1. When the discharge air
temperature drifts above the setpoint, “Region 1”, a stage of
mechanical cooling is added based on time and the amount
of deviation from setpoint. If the discharge air temperature
remains above the setpoint, the W7100A energizes additional stages of mechanical cooling.
If the ambient air conditions are above the enthalpy setpoint, the W7100A will open the Fresh Air dampers to the
minimum setpoint position.
To take full advantage of the “free cooling” provided by the
economizer, the W7100A “resets” the discharge air setpoint.
The amount of “reset” between the actual discharge air
setpoint and the economizer control point is equal to
1/2 of the W7100’s control band setpoint.
o
Example: With a typical control band setting of 6
amount of discharge air “reset” is 3
control band setpoint). Therefore, if the discharge air
setpoint is 55oF, the economizer control point is 52oF
o
(i.e., 55
F - 3oF).

Figure 5-1
W7100A Staging Sequence
If the operating cooling stage is capable of satisfying the
cooling requirement, as the discharge air temperature falls
below the setpoint for a sufficient period of time, the
W7100A turns the stages of mechanical cooling “Off”, “Region 3”.
The W7100A determines the length of the time before
stages of mechanical cooling are turned “On” and “Off”.
When the system is operating within the control band, the
delay is longest at setpoint, and decreases to a minimum of
4 minutes when the discharge air temperature exceeds the
upper or lower limit of the control band. Refer to the illustration in Figure 5-1.

Sequence of Operation
Chilled Water Temperature Controller (6U11)
The chilled water temperature controller used with EVP
chiller applications is a Honeywell W7100G. This microprocessor controller is designed to maintain an average leaving water temperature using an integrating control band
concept that matches the required operating capacity to the
chiller load. The integral action, unlike “proportional only”
type controllers, minimizes the amount of offset from the
control setpoint.
The control band setting is centered on the leaving water
setpoint. It is adjustable from 0
used to stabilize system operation.
The control algorithm used by the W7100G to add stages of
cooling is illustrated in Figure 5-2. As the water temperature
rises above the upper control band limit, a stage of mechanical cooling is added, provided the minimum “Off” time
has been satisfied (Point A). The minimum “fast response”
time and the time delay between staging for the W7100G is
set for 60 seconds.
If the water temperature remains above the upper control
band limit (Point B), the next available stage of cooling will
be energized when the minimum time delay between stages
has elapsed.
As the water temperature decreases below the lower control band, the last stage that was turned “On” will be cycled
“Off” (Point C) when the minimum “On” time for that stage
has elapsed.
As the load on the water increases due to cooling stages
being cycled “Off”, the controller will maintain it’s current position, i.e., no staging of cooling “On” or “Off”, as long as the
temperature remains inside the control band.
When the temperature increases above the upper control
band limit (Point D), mechanical cooling stages will be sequenced “On” in the same manner as before. As a rule, any
time the water temperature is above the upper control band
limit, a stage of cooling will be “added” and anytime the water temperature decreases below the lower control band
limit, a stage of cooling will be “Subtracted”.

The reliability and performance of the refrigeration system

2. The efficiency of the evaporator coil.
3. The amount of protection the compressor is receiving
against flooding or overheating.
The recommended range for superheat is 10 to 16 degrees
at the evaporator. Systems operating with less than 10 degrees of superheat:
a. Could cause serious compressor damage due to
refrigerant floodback.
b. Removes working surface from the evaporator
normally used for heat transfer.
Systems operating with superheat in excess of 16 degrees:
a. Could cause excessive compressor cycling on
internal winding thermostat which leads to
compressor motor failure.
b. Lowers the efficiency of the evaporator by reducing
the heat transfer capability.
The outdoor ambient temperature must be between 65oF
and 105
evaporator must be above 40 percent. When the temperatures are outside of these ranges, measuring the operating
pressures can be meaningless.

Condenser Fans
Condenser fan cycling is accomplished through interlocking
the fan contactors with liquid line pressure switches (4S7
and 4S8). Figure 5-3 illustrates the condenser fan locations
with their respective fan and relay designator.
When a cooling command has been initiated (circuit #1, first
step), condenser fans 4B1, 4B2, 4B3, 4B4, 4B5 & 4B6 are
held “Off” by the liquid line pressure switch (4S7) and
normally open interlock contacts 1K5 & 1K9. Once the pressure switch has closed (275 psig), condenser fan relay 1K7
(& 1K10 if applicable) is energized starting fans 4B1 & 4B4
(& 4B3 if applicable). The normally open interlock contacts
1K7 closes, energizing fan contactor 1K9, starting fan 4B2
(& 4B6 if applicable). When the normally open interlock
contacts 1K9 close, they seal 1K9 contactor in the “On” position until the cooling demand has been satisfied. Condenser fan 4B5 is not allowed to start until compressor
contactor 1K5 has energized.
If a second step cooling command is initiated, (circuit #2),
condenser fans 5B1, 5B2, 5B3, 5B4, 5B5 & 5B6 are held
“Off” by the liquid line pressure switch (4S8) and normally
open interlock contacts 1K6 & 1K13. Once the pressure
switch has closed (275 psig), condenser fan relay 1K11 (&
1K14 if applicable) is energized starting fans 5B1 & 5B4 (&
5B3 if applicable). The normally open interlock contacts
1K11 closes, energizing fan contactor 1K13, starting fan
5B2 (& 5B6 if applicable). When the normally open interlock
contacts 1K13 close, they seal 1K13 contactor in the “On”
position until the cooling demand has been satisfied. Condenser fan 5B5 is not allowed to start until compressor relay
1K6 has energized.

Sequence of Operation
Low Ambient Dampers
Low Ambient Dampers are available as a factory installed
option or can be field-installed. Dampers are used to extend
the operation of these units from the standard operational
temperatures to a minimum of 0oF without hot gas bypass
o
F with hot gas bypass. (These values apply when
or 10
wind speed across the condenser coil is less than 5 m.p.h.).
If typical wind speeds are higher than 5 m.p.h., a wind
screen around the unit may be required. By restricting the
airflow across the condenser coils, saturated condensing
temperatures can be maintained as the ambient temperatures change.
The low ambient damper actuator controls damper modulation for each refrigerant circuit in response to saturated condensing temperature.
Sequence Of Operation
Compressor Crankcase Heaters
Each compressor is equipped with a crankcase heater and
is controlled by a 600 volt auxiliary switch on the compressor contactor. The proper operation of the crankcase heater
is important to maintain an elevated compressor oil temperature during the “Off” cycle to reduce oil foaming during
compressor starts.
When the compressor starts, the sudden reduction in crankcase pressure causes the liquid refrigerant to boil rapidly
causing the oil to foam. This condition could damage compressor bearings due to reduced lubrication and could
cause compressor mechanical failures.
When power has been “Off” for an extended period, allow
the crankcase heater to operate a minimum of 8 hours before starting the unit.
Sequence of Operation
Pump Down
Each circuit will go into a pump down cycle when the last
compressor on that circuit is turned "Off". During pump
down, the solenoid valves are closed, the reset circuit is bypassed and the compressor will continue to run until the 30
psig pressure switch opens.
Sequence of Operation
Hot Gas Bypass Operation
The HGBP valve regulates evaporator pressure by opening
as suction pressure decreases, to maintain a desired minimum evaporating pressure regardless of a decrease in
evaporator external loading.
When the evaporator (suction) pressure is above the
valve’s setpoint, it remains closed. As suction pressure falls
below the valve’s setpoint, the valve begins to open. The
valve will continue to open at a rate proportional to the suction pressure drop, thus maintaining evaporator pressure.
Hot gas bypass valves are adjustable and should be set to
begin opening at approximately 58 psig suction pressure
and reach the full open position at 51 psig for DX coil applications. For EVP chiller applications, the regulator should
be adjusted to begin opening at approximately 69 psig suction pressure and reach full open position at 61 psig.

Low Ambient Damper Adjustment
(Factory or Field Installed)
When a unit is ordered with the low ambient option (i.e.,
Digit 11 is a “1” in the model number), a damper is factory
installed over the lead condenser fan for each refrigeration
circuit. Refer to the appropriate unit illustrated in Figure 5-3
for the damper locations.
For field installation, mount the dampers over the condenser fans at the locations shown in Figure 5-3 and connect the actuator, controller, and sensor for each circuit.
(Refer to the Installation Instructions provided with each low
ambient damper kit.)
The controller has a factory default setpoint of 105oF. This
setpoint can be adjusted by installing a field supplied resistor on 2TB34 in the low ambient control panel located in the
back of the main control panel. (See the low ambient wiring
diagram, that shipped with the unit or with the field kit, for
resistance values and installation location.)
Inspect the damper blades for proper alignment and operation. Dampers should be in the closed position during the
“Off” cycle. If adjustment is required;
1. Remove the sensor leads from the input terminals 6
and 7 for circuit #1 and/or 11 and 12 for circuit #2.
(Controller output signal will go to 0.0 VDC and the
damper will drive to the closed position.)

“Air Over” Evaporator Application
Verifying Proper Supply Fan Rotation
1. Ensure that the “System” selection switch at the remote
panel is in the “Off” position and the “Fan” selection
switch for the appropriate controls application is in the
“Auto” position. (VAV units do not utilize a “Fan” selection
input.)
2. Loosen the damper shaft “Locking” set screws on
the actuator
3. Firmly hold the damper blades in the closed position
4. Retighten the “Locking” set screws.
To check damper operation, jumper between the sensor input terminals 6 and 7 and/or 11 and 12 (if applicable). Controller output signal will go to 10 VDC and the damper will
drive to the full open position.
EVP Chiller Applications
Start the chilled water circulating pump by closing the field
provided pump disconnect switch and turn the pump control
circuit switch 6S1 “On”.
Check the flow device to ensure it opens and close properly.
With water circulating through the system, check the EVP
chiller barrel pressure drop and adjust the flow (if necessary). Refer to the appropriate EVP chiller barrel size in
Table 5-1 for the operating pressure drop.
2. Turn the main power disconnect switch or circuit protector switch for the unit to the “On” position.
3. Turn the 115 volt control circuit switch 1S2 to the “On”
position.

4. Turn the field provided disconnect switch for the supply
fan to the “On” position and “bump” the field supplied
control circuit switch “On”, (i.e., “On” then immediately
“Off”).
5. While the fan is coasting down, check the rotation. If the
fan is rotating backwards, turn the field provided disconnect switch for the air handler to the “Off” position and interchange any two of the main power wires at the fan
motor starter or contactor.
6. After all adjustments have been made, restart the supply
fan and proceed through the following procedures.

System Airflow Measurement
System Start-Up (Continued)
Much of the systems performance and reliability is closely
associated with, and dependent upon having the proper airflow supplied both to the space that is being conditioned
and across the evaporator coil.
With the supply fan rotating in the proper direction, measure
the amperage at the supply fan contactor. If the amperage
exceeds the motor nameplate value, the static pressure is
less than design and the airflow is too high. If the amperage
is below the motor nameplate value, static pressure may be
too high and CFM may be too low. To determine the actual
CFM (± 5%);
a. Measure the actual fan RPM
b. Calculate the Theoretical BHP
Actual Motor Amps X Motor HP)
Motor Nameplate Amps
c. Plot this data onto the appropriate Fan Performance
Curve or Performance Table that shipped with the Air
Handling equipment. Where the two points intersect,
read the CFM line.
Use this data to assist in calculating a new fan drive if the
CFM is not at design specifications.
An alternate method with less accuracy is to measure the
static pressure drop across the evaporator coil. This can be
accomplished by;
a. Drilling a small hole through the unit casing on each
side of the coil.
Note: Coil damage can occur if care is not taken
when drilling holes in this area.
b. Measure the difference between the pressures at
both locations.
c. Plot this value onto the appropriate component
pressure drop curve that shipped with the Air
Handling equipment. Use the data to assist in
calculating a new fan drive if the CFM is not at
design specifications.
d. Plug the holes after the proper CFM has been
established.
Turn the 115 volt control circuit switch 1S2 to the “OFF” position and open the field provided or optional factory
mounted disconnect switch.
After all adjustments have been made, proceed through the
following procedures.
COMPRESSOR SERVICE VALVES!
COMPRESSOR SERVICE VALVES MUST BE FULLY
OPENED BEFORE START-UP (SUCTION, DIS-
CHARGE, LIQUID LINE, AND OIL LINE).
Failure to fully open valves prior to start-up may
cause compressor failure due to lack of refrigerant
and/or oil flow.
2. If the system has been previously charged before starting, disable the compressor(s) by unplugging the reset
relay for each circuit. Refer to the unit-wiring diagram
that sipped with the unit. Turn the main power disconnect
to the “On” position and allow the crankcase heater to
operate a minimum of 8 hours before continuing.
Note: Compressor Damage could occur if the
crankcase heater is not allowed to operate the
minimum 8 hours before starting the
compressor(s).
3. Attach a set of service gauges onto the suction and discharge gauge ports for each circuit.
4. Charge liquid refrigerant into the liquid line of each refrigerant circuit with the required amount of R-22. Refrigerant should be charged into the system by weight. Use an
accurate scale or a charging cylinder to monitor the
amount of refrigerant entering the system. Refer to Table
5-3 for the required amount of refrigerant for the system.
If the pressure within the system equalizes with the pressure in the charging cylinder before charging is completed, complete the process by charging into the suction
(low) side of the system after the system has been
started.
Table 5-4 gives the minimum starting temperatures for
both “Standard” & “Low” Ambient units.
Do not attempt to charge the system with the low ambient dampers and/or hot gas bypass operating (if applicable). Disable the low ambient dampers in the “Open”
position (refer to the “Low Ambient Damper Adjustment”
section) and de-energize the hot gas bypass solenoid
valves before proceeding.
5. On units with dual circuits, start only one circuit at a time.
To disable the compressors, unplug the appropriate lockout relay inside the unit control panel. Refer to Table 5-5
for the compressor sequencing and Figure 5-4 for their
location.
6. Close the “High Side” valve on the manifold gauge set.
Compressor Start-Up
(All Systems)
1. Before closing the field provided or optional factory
mounted disconnect switch at the unit, ensure that the
compressor discharge service valve and the liquid line
service valve for each circuit is back seated.
7. Set the “System” selection switch to the “Cool” position
8. Turn the main power disconnect switch or circuit protector switch, to the unit, “On”.

ROTATING PARTS!
System Start-Up (Continued)
Note: To prevent compressor damage due to no
refrigerant flow, do not utilize the compressors to
pump the system down below 7 PSIG under any
circumstances.
UNIT STARTS AUTOMATICALLY
Make sure all personnel are standing clear of the unit
before proceeding. The system components will start
when the power is applied.
9. Turn the 115-volt control circuit switch 1S2 to the “On”
position.
a. Once each compressor or compressor pair has
started, verify that the rotation is correct. If a scroll
compressor is rotating backwards, it will not pump
and a loud rattling sound can be observed.
b. Check the condenser fans for proper rotation. The
direction of rotation is clockwise when viewed from
the top of the unit.
All Motors are Rotating Backwards;
1. Turn the field supplied disconnect switch or
circuit protector switch that provides power to
the condensing unit to the “Off” position. Lock
the disconnect switch in the open position while
working at the unit.
2. Interchange any two of the field connected main
power wires at the unit terminal block 1TB1 or
the optional factory mounted non-fused
disconnect switch (1S1) in the unit control panel.
Note: Interchanging “Load” side power wires at the
contactors will only affect the individual fan
rotation. Ensure that the voltage phase sequence at
the main terminal block 1TB1 is ABC as outlined in
the “Electrical Phasing” section.
11. After the compressors and condenser fans for the operating circuit have been operating for approximately 30
minutes, observe the operating pressures. Use the appropriate pressure curve in Table 5-6 to determine the
proper operating pressures. If the operating pressures indicate a refrigerant shortage, measure the system superheat and system sub-cooling.
Note: Do Not release refrigerant to the atmosphere!
If adding or removing refrigerant is required, the
service technician must comply with all Federal,
State and local laws. Refer to general service
bulletin MSCU-SB-1 (latest edition).
Sub-Cooling
The outdoor ambient temperature must be between 65
and 105
o
F and the relative humidity of the air entering the
o
F
evaporator must be above 40 percent. When the temperatures are outside of these ranges, measuring the operating
pressures can be meaningless.
With the unit operating at “Full Circuit Capacity”, acceptable
sub-cooling ranges between 14oF to 22oF.
Measuring Sub-Cooling
a. At the liquid line service valve, measure the liquid
line pressure. Using a Refrigerant 22 pressure/
temperature chart, convert the pressure reading into
the corresponding saturated temperature.
b. Measure the actual liquid line temperature as close
to the liquid line service valve as possible. To ensure
an accurate reading, clean the line thoroughly where
the temperature sensor will be attached. After
securing the sensor to the line, insulate the sensor
and line to isolate it from the ambient air.
Some Motors are Rotating Backwards;
1. Turn the field supplied disconnect switch or
circuit protector switch that provides power to
the condensing unit to the “Off” position. Lock
the disconnect switch in the open position while
working at the unit.
2. If the electrical phasing is correct, interchange
any two of the motor leads at the contactor for
each motor that is rotating backwards. Before
condemning a compressor, interchange any two
leads (at the compressor Terminal block) to
check the internal phasing. Refer to the
illustration in Figure 5-5 for the compressor
terminal/phase identification. If the compressor
runs backward for an extended period (15 to 30
minutes), the motor winding can overheat and
cause the motor winding thermostat to open.
10. With the compressors operating, slowly open the “Low
Side” valve on the manifold gauge set. The remainder of
the refrigerant will be drawn into the system.
Note: Glass thermometers do not have sufficient
contact area to give an accurate reading.
c. Determine the system sub-cooling by subtracting the
actual liquid line temperature (measured in b) from
the saturated liquid temperature (converted in a).
Measuring Superheat
a. Measure the suction pressure at the outlet of the
evaporator as close to the expansion valve bulb
location as possible.
b. Measured the suction line temperature as close to
the expansion valve bulb, as possible.
c. Using a Refrigerant/Temperature chart, convert the
pressure reading to a corresponding saturated vapor
temperature.
Note: On many Trane fan/coil units, an access
valve is provided close to the expansion valve bulb
location. This valve must be added on climate
changers and other evaporators.
54
Page 55
System Start-Up (Continued)
d. Subtract the saturated vapor temperature (converted
in c), from the actual suction line temperature
(measured in b). The difference between the two
temperatures is known as “superheat”.
12. Verify that the oil level in each compressor is correct.
The oil level may be down to the bottom of the sight
glass but should never be above the sight glass.
13. Once the checks and adjustments for the operating circuit has been completed, check and record the:
Record this data on an “operator’s maintenance log”
shown in Table 5-8. Repeat these procedures for the
second refrigeration circuit, if applicable.
14. Turn the 115-volt control circuit switch 1S2 to the “OFF”
position and open the field provided or optional factory
mounted disconnect switch.
15. After shutting the system off, check the compressor oil
appearance. Discoloration of the oil indicates that an abnormal condition has occurred. If the oil is dark and
smells burnt, it has overheated because:
1. Compressor is operating at an extremely high
condensing temperature;
2.High superheat;
3.A compressor mechanical failure or motor burnout
has occurred.
If the oil is black and contains metal flakes, a
mechanical failure has occurred. This symptom is
often accompanied by a high compressor
amperage draw.
If a motor burnout is suspected, use an acid test kit
to check the condition of the oil. Test results will
indicate an acid level exceeding 0.05 mg KOH/g if
a burnout occurred.

Service & Maintenance
Compressor Operational Sounds
Because of the scroll compressor design, it emits a higher
frequency tone (sound) than a reciprocating compressor. It
is designed to accommodate liquids, both oil and refrigerant, without causing compressor damage. The following discussion describes some of the operational sounds that differentiate it from those typically associated with a reciprocating compressor. These sounds do not affect the operation or reliability of the compressor.
At Shutdown:
When a Scroll compressor shuts down, the gas within the
scroll expands and causes momentary reverse rotation until
the discharge check valve closes. This results in a “flutter”
type sound.
At Low Ambient Start-Up
When the compressor starts up under low ambient conditions, the initial flow rate of the compressor is low due to the
low condensing pressure. This causes a low differential
across the thermal expansion valve that limits its capacity.
Under these conditions, it is not unusual to hear the compressor rattle until the suction pressure climbs and the flow
rate increases.
Scroll Compressor Replacement
Table 6-1 lists the specific compressor electrical data and
the circuit breaker operating ranges.
The compressor manifold system was purposely designed
to provide proper oil return to each compressors. The refrigerant manifolded system must not be modified in any way.
Note: Altering the manifold piping may cause oil
return problems and compressor failure.
Should a compressor replacement become necessary and
a suction line filter drier is to be installed, install it a minimum of 18 inches upstream of the oil separator tee. Refer
to the illustration in Figure 6-1.
Anytime a compressor is replaced, the oil for each compressor within the manifolded set must be replaced.
The scroll compressor uses Trane OIL-42 without substi-tution. The appropriate oil charge for a 9 and 10 Ton scroll
compressor is 8.5 pints. For a 14 and 15 Ton scroll compressor, use 13.8 pints.
Note: Do Not release refrigerant to the
atmosphere! If adding or removing refrigerant is
required, the service technician must comply with
all Federal, State and local laws. Refer to general
service bulletin MSCU-SB-1 (latest edition).
Note: Refrigerant oil is detrimental to some roofing
materials. Care must be taken to protect the roof
from oil leaks or spills.

Before completing the following checks, turn all system control circuit switches to the “Off” position.
“Open” the main power disconnect switches for the condensing unit and all system support equipment. “lock” the
disconnect switches in the “Off” position before removing
any access panels.
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!
DISCONNECT ALL ELECTRIC POWER INCLUDING
REMOTE DISCONNECTS BEFORE SERVICING.
Failure to disconnect power before servicing can
cause severe personal injury or death.
Air Handling Equipment
[ ] Inspect the return air filters. Clean or replace them if nec-
essary.
[ ] Check the evaporator drain pan and condensate piping
to ensure that there are no blockages.
[ ] Inspect the evaporator coils for dirt. If the coils appear
dirty, clean them according to the instructions described
in the “Coil Cleaning” section.
[ ] Lubricate the supply fan bearings. Refer to the equip-
ment manufacturer for their recommended greases.
Note: Over lubrication can be just as harmful as not
enough grease.
Use a hand grease gun to lubricate these bearings; add
grease until a light bead appears all around the seal. Do
not over lubricate!
After greasing the bearings, check the setscrews to ensure that the shaft is held securely to the bearings and
Fan wheels. Make sure that all bearing supports are
tight.
[ ] Check the supply fan belt(s). If the belts are frayed or
worn, replace them.
[ ] Verify that all wire terminal connections are tight.
[ ] Generally inspect the unit for unusual conditions (e.g.,
loose access panels, leaking piping connections, etc.)
[ ] Make sure that all retaining screws are reinstalled in the
unit access panels once these checks are complete.
Condensing Unit
[ ] Manually rotate the condenser fans to ensure free move-
ment and check motor bearings for wear. Verify that all of
the fan mounting hardware is tight.
[ ] Inspect the economizer damper hinges and pins (if appli-
cable) to ensure that all moving parts are securely
mounted. Clean the blades as necessary.
[ ] Verify that all damper linkages move freely; lubricate with
white grease, if necessary.
[ ] Check Supply Fan motor bearings; repair or replace the
motor as necessary.
[ ] Check the fan shaft bearings for wear. Replace the bear-
ings as necessary.
[ ] Verify that all wire terminal connections are tight.
[ ] Inspect the condenser coils for dirt and foreign debris. If
the coils appear dirty, clean them according to the in-
structions described in the “Coil Cleaning” section.
[ ] Inspect the compressor and condenser fan motor contac-
tors. If the contacts appear severely burned or pitted, re-
place the contactor. Do not clean the contacts.
[ ] Check the compressor oil level. (Compressors “Off”)

Coil Cleaning
Regular coil maintenance, including annual cleaning, enhances the unit’s operating efficiency by minimizing:
compressor head pressure and amperage draw;
evaporator water carryover;
fan brake horsepower, due to increase static pressure
losses;
airflow reduction.
At least once each year, or more often if the unit is located
in a “dirty” environment, clean the evaporator and condenser coils using the instructions outlined below. Be sure
to follow these instructions as closely as possible to avoid
damaging the coils.
To clean refrigerant coils, use a soft brush and a sprayer
(either a garden pump-up type or a high-pressure sprayer).
A high-quality detergent is also required; suggested brands
include “SPREX A.C.”, “OAKITE 161”, “OAKITE 166” and
“COILOX”. If the detergent selected is strongly alkaline (ph
value exceeds 8.5), add an inhibitor.
1. Remove enough panels from the unit to gain access to
the coil.
2. Protect all electrical devices such as motors and controllers from any over spray.
3. Straighten any bent coil fins with a fin comb.
4. Mix the detergent with water according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. If desired, heat the solution
to 150 F maximum to improve its cleansing capability.

it to burst.
6. Spray the leaving-airflow side of the coil first; then spray
the opposite side of the coil. Allow the cleaning solution
to stand on the coil for five minutes.
7. Rinse both sides of the coil with cool, clean water.
8. Inspect both sides of the coil; if it still appears to be dirty,
repeat Steps 6 and 7.
9. Reinstall all of the components and panels removed in
Step 1 and any protective covers installed in step 2.
10. Restore the unit to it’s operational status and check system operation.

Record this data on an “operator’s maintenance log”
similar to the one illustrated in the “Final Setup” section
of this manual. If the operating pressures indicate a refrigerant shortage, measure the system Superheat and
system Subcooling. For guidelines, refer to the “system
Start-Up” section.
Note: Do Not release refrigerant to the
atmosphere! If adding or removing refrigerant is
required, the service technician must comply with
all federal, state and local laws. Refer to general
service bulletin MSCU-SB-1 (latest edition).
5. Pour the cleaning solution into the sprayer. If a high-pressure sprayer is used:
a. do not allow sprayer pressure to exceed 600 psi.
b. the minimum nozzle spray angle is 15 degrees.
c. maintain a minimum clearance of 6" between the
sprayer nozzle and the coil.
d. spray the solution perpendicular (at 90 degrees) to
the coil face.
