Installation
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.

Installation (Continued)
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.

Note:
1. Mounting locations correlate with those shown in point loading illustration.
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 mark CP-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.

Hot gas bypass is not recommended for use on RAUC units. Frostat evaporator from freeze-up. It turns off compressors when the coil frosting is sensed. The compressor is allowed to operate when the coil temperature rises a few degrees above the frosting condition. This action reduces the over­all energy consumption of the system while reliably main­taining system control.

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.

Chilled Water Piping
Evaporator water inlet and outlet types, sizes and locations are shown in Figure 3-2B. Refer to the operating GPM pa-
rameters listed in Table 3-3 when determining flow and pip­ing requirements. Figure 3-8 illustrates the typical water pip­ing components for chiller applications. Refer to this illustra­tion while following the discussion on the various piping components.
Isolate the water pumps from the system to avoid vibration transmission. To minimize heat gain and prevent condensa­tion, insulate all water piping. Use an appropriate pipe seal­ant on all threaded connections.

Air Vents
A vent port is located on top of the chiller near the return end. Additional vents must be installed at high points in the piping system to facilitate air purging during the filling pro­cess.
Water Pressure Gauges
Install pressure gauge(s) to monitor the entering and leav­ing chilled water pressure.
Note: To prevent evaporator damage, do not exceed 150 psig evaporator pressure.
Pipe Unions
Use pipe unions to simplify disassembly for system service. Use vibration eliminators to prevent transmitting vibrations through the water lines
Thermometers
Install thermometers in the lines to monitor the evaporator entering and leaving water temperatures.
Balancing Valves
Install a balancing cock (valve) in the leaving water line. It 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.

Final Water Piping Connections
1. All water piping to the system should be flushed thor­oughly before making the final connections.
Note: If an acidic commercial flushing solution is used, construct a temporary bypass around the EVP chiller barrel to prevent damage to the internal components of the evaporator.
2. Connect the water pipe to the EVP chiller.
3. Install the drain plug, (if no drain is used) or ensure the drain shutoff valve is closed.
4. While filling the chiller system with solution, vent the air from the system at the highest points.
Note: To prevent possible damage to the equipment, do not use untreated or improperly treated water in the system.
Field Installed Power Wiring
An overall dimensional layout for the field installed wiring entrance into the unit is illustrated in Figure 3-2. To insure that the unit’s supply power wiring is properly sized and in­stalled, follow the guidelines outlined below.
Figure 3-10
Temperature Sensor & Well
Note: All field installed wiring must conform to NEC guidelines as well as State and Local codes.
Verify that the power supply available is compatible with the unit’s nameplate ratings. The available supply power must be within 10% of the rated voltage stamped on the name­plate. Use only copper conductors to connect the 3-phase power supply to the unit.
USE COPPER CONDUCTORS ONLY!

Field Installed Control Wiring
Before installing any connecting wiring, refer to Figure 3-2 for the electrical access locations provided on the unit. In­stall appropriately sized control wiring for the 115 volt elec­trical components as required by the application.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote discon­nects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvert­ently energized. Failure to disconnect power before ser­vicing could result in death or serious injury.
Since the unit-mounted 115V control power transformer (1T1) is provided on all units, it is not necessary to run a separate 115 volt control power source to the unit.
Note: 200/230 Volt units are shipped with transformer 1T1 wired for 200 volt operation. If the unit is to be operated on a 230 volt power supply, rewire the transformer as shown on the unit schematic.
Controls Using 115 VAC
Install appropriately sized 115 volt control wiring for the electrical components as required by the application.
These components may include:
hot gas bypass solenoid wiring; supply fan interlock and control circuit; system control switch wiring (“No Control” units); step controller wiring (“No Control” units); chilled water pump interlock wiring (EVP units); chilled water flow switch wiring (EVP units); outside air thermostat wiring (EVP units): liquid line solenoid valve(s).
Supply Fan Interlock (Control options utilizing an Air Handler)
The normally open evaporator fan interlock auxiliary con­tacts and the evaporator fan controls; system On/Off switch, fan starter/contactor, and overloads, must be wired as illus­trated in the appropriate interlock connection wiring diagram for the specified application.
EVP Interlocks (EVP Flow control 6S58)
The flow switch is a binary output device and must be wired within the interlock circuit. Before installing the control wir­ing, refer to the remote panel illustration for the electrical access into the panel. Refer to the field connection diagram for the specific connection points inside the remote panel.
loads (OL’s) must be installed as part of the system’s inter­lock circuit to disable the compressors in the event the cir­culating pump shuts down or is turned off.

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.
Discharge Air Sensor
(Honeywell 8RT3)
Each unit ordered with variable air volume controls (digit 9 in the model number) is shipped with a Honeywell 8RT3 discharge air sensor.
Locate the thermostat close to the expansion valve bulb on a slightly flattened portion of the suction line. The thermo­stat must be securely fastened to the suction line and a field provided thermoconductive grease must be applied to the area to ensure good heat transfer.
Before installing any connecting wiring, refer to Figure 3-2 for the electrical access locations provided on the unit. Wire the suction line thermostat in accordance with the field con­nection diagram in Figure 3-13. Refer to Table 3-6 (AC Con­ductors) for wiring specifications.
Insulate the suction line, where the thermostat is mounted, to isolate it from the surrounding air.
Night Setback
If night setback operation is desired, connect a set of nor­mally open contacts (field provided) to the appropriate ter­minals on the terminal board (7TB7), in the unit’s control panel. Remove the factory installed jumper at the terminal board when making the final wiring termination. Refer to the field connection diagram in Figure 3-13 for details.
Figure 3-12
8RT3 Discharge Air Sensor Assembly
The sensor should be installed in a turbulent free area of the discharge air duct at a location that will provide accurate supply air sensing. Refer to the illustration in Figure 3-12 for installation and sensor dimensional information.
The sensor serves two functions;
1. It sends the supply air temperature data to the Discharge Air Controller, in the form of an analog input, to control the economizer (if applicable) and the cycling of the com­pressors.
2. It serves as a low limit sensor for the system when the supply air temperature reaches too high a delta tee be­tween the actual supply air temperature and the supply air temperature setpoint.
Before installing any connecting wiring, refer to Figure 3-2 for the electrical access locations provided on the unit. Wire the sensor in accordance with the field connection diagram in Figure 3-13. Shielded cable (Belden 8760 or equivalent) must be used when wiring the sensor to the terminal board inside the unit’s control panel.
Connect the shielded cable to the appropriate terminals on the terminal board (7TB7), in the unit’s control panel. Ground the shield (at the unit only) using the ground screw in the “customer 24 volt connection area as shown in the field connection diagram.

EVP Chiller Control
Each unit ordered for EVP Chiller applications (digit 9 in the model number), is shipped with the following controls:
EVP Remote Panel w/ W7100G Controller Freezestat (8S12) Chiller Water Temperature Sensor (8RT2) Freezestat Bulb well Chilled Water Temperature Sensor Well
The installation of the freezestat bulb well, freezestat bulb, and the chilled water temperature sensor was discussed in the “Chilled Water Piping” section. Refer to that section for their installation locations and dimensional data.
The chiller control (located in the remote panel) controls the system operation by responding to the leaving water tem­perature. The remote panel must be mounted indoors and within 20 feet of the chiller barrel.
Figure 3-14 illustrates the remote panel dimensional data, the component locations, the locations for the shipwith items, grounding lugs, and the field connection terminal board 8TB9. Refer to the field connection diagram illus­trated in Figure 3-15 for the interconnecting points between the remote panel and the unit’s control panel.
A ground wire must be installed between the EVP remote panel and the unit control panel.
W7100G Discharge Chilled Water Controller
The discharge chilled water controller (8U11) is shipped from the factory with a combination wire/resistor type jumper installed across Terminals 6, 7, & 8. The resistive portion of the jumper is across Terminals 7 & 8, which set the number of operating stages, of the control.
As shipped, a 604 ohm resistive jumper is installed across Terminals 7 & 8 on the controller. The 604 ohm resistive jumper is required for six (6) stage operation on 80 through 120 Ton units.
Note: The resistor portion of the combination jumper must be installed across Terminals 7 & 8 on the controller.
The descriptions of the following input devices are to ac­quaint the operator with their function as they interface with the Honeywell W7100G controller.

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 in Figure 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.

Discharge Air Controller Checkout
(Honeywell W7100A)
Note: The following checkout procedure must be performed in its entirety and in the sequence given.
The W7100A (7U11) discharge air controller can be checked out using a highly accurate digital volt-ohmmeter and the W7100A accessory tool kit (Trane part # TOL-0101 or Honeywell part # 4074EDJ).
1. Turn all control switches to the “OFF” positon to deacti­vate the Evaporator Fan and the Mechanical Cooling.
2. Turn the main power disconnect switch for the evaporator fan and condensing unit “OFF”.
3. Disable the mechanical cooling by removing the field in­stalled evaporator fan auxillary interlock wire from termi­nal board 7TB5 terminal 3 inside the unit control panel.
4. At the Discharge Air Controller, in the unit control panel, remove the red dust cover from the test plug socket at the bottom of the W7100A. Insert the “Test Plug”, from the kit, into the test plug socket. The test plug overrides most of the built-in time delays for staging the compres­sors “On” and “Off”. Refer to the illustration in Figure 4-3 for terminal and control dial identification.
5. Install a jumper across the P and P1 terminals (remote setpoint input), and another jumper across terminals 6 and 7 (reset input) if reset is enabled.
6. Disconnect the wires from terminals T and T1 (discharge 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 economizer fully open), the LEDs on the W7100 should be­gin to illuminate as the cooling outputs stage “On”.
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.

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

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”.

Thermostatic Expansion Valve
The reliability and performance of the refrigeration system is heavily dependent upon proper expansion valve adjust­ment. Therefore, the importance of maintaining the proper superheat cannot be over emphasized. Accurate measure­ments of superheat will provide the following information.
1. How well the expansion valve is controlling the refriger­ant flow.
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.

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.)

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.

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”.

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

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:
ambient temperature; compressor oil level (each circuit); compressor suction and discharge pressures (each
circuit);
superheat and sub-cooling (each circuit);
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.

Suction Line Filter/Drier Installation
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.

Service & Maintenance (Continued)
Monthly Maintenance
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.
System operation
[ ] Close the main power disconnect switch for the condens-
ing unit and all system support equipment. Turn all sys­tem control circuit switches to the “On” position.
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE
ROTATING PARTS!
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.
[ ] With the unit running, check and record the:
ambient temperature; compressor oil level (each circuit); compressor suction and discharge pressures (each
circuit);
superheat and Subcooling (each circuit);
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.
