1.3 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. When servicing, set the POWER of CONTROL BOARD to Off and unplug the power cord.

2. Observe the original lead dress. If a short circuit is found, replace all parts which have been overheated or damaged by the short circuit.

3. After servicing, make an insulation resistance test to prevent the customer's exposure to shock hazards.

1.4

INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST

1. Unplug the power cord and connect a jumper between 2 pins (black and white).

2. The grounding conductor (green or green and yellow) is to be open.

3. Measure the resistance value with an ohm meter between the jumpered lead and each exposed metallic part on the equipment at all Mode [except POWER OFF].

4. The value should be over 1 MΩ.

NOTES

Replacement of the refrigeration cycle.

1. When replacing the refrigerating cycle, be sure to discharge the refrigerant by using a refrigerant recovery system.

2. After discharging the unit completely, remove the desired components, and unbraze the pinch-off tubes.

3. Solder service valves into the pinch-off tube ports, leaving the valves open.

4. Solder the pinch-off tubes with service valves.

5. After completing the above procedures, the valve must be closed and left in place on the system for any subsequent procedures.

6. Evacuate as follows: 6-1. Connect the vacuum pump, as illustrated in

figure 20A.

6-2. Start the vacuum pump. Slowly open manifold

valves A and B with two full turns counterclockwise and leave the valves closed. The vacuum pump is now pulling through valves A and B up to valve C by means of manifold and the entire system.

6-4. Remove the hose from the vacuum pump and

place it on the charging cylinder. See figure 20B. Open valve C. Discharge the line at the manifold connection.

6-5. The system is now ready for final charging.

7. Recharge as follows: 7-1. Rotary compressor systems are charged from

the high-side. If the total charge cannot be put in the high-side, the balance will be put in the suction line through the access valve which is installed as the system is opened.

7-2. Connect the charging cylinder as shown in fig-

ure 20B. With valve C open, discharge the hose at the manifold connection.

7-3. Open valve A and allow the proper charge to

enter the system. Valve B is still closed.

7-4. If more charge is required, the high-side will

not take it. Close valve A.

7-5. With the unit running, open valve B and add

the balance of the charge. a. Do not add the liquid refrigerant to the low-

side.

b. Watch the low-side gauge, allow pressure to

rise to 30 lbs.

c. Turn off valve B and allow the pressure to

drop.

d. Repeat steps B and C until the balance of

the charge is in the system.

7-6. When the unit is operating correctly, use the

pinch-off tool with the unit still running and the clamp on the pinch-off tube. Using a tube cutter, cut the pinch-off tube about 2 inches from the pinch-off tool. Use sil-fos solder and solder the pinch-off tube closed. Turn off the unit, allow setting for a while and then test the leakage of the pinch-off connection.

CAUTION : If high vacuum equipment is used, just crack valves A and B for a few minutes, then open slowly with the two full turns counter-clockwise. This will keep oil from foaming and being drawn into the vacuum pump.

6-3. Operate the vacuum pump for 20 to 30 min-

utes, until 600 micron vacuum is obtained. Close valves A and B and observe vacuum gauge for a few minutes. A rise in pressure would indicate a possible leak or moisture remaining in the system. With valves A and B closed, stop the vacuum pump.
