methods in Manual D of the Air Conditioning Contractors of
America (ACCA) or as recommended by any other recognized authority such as ASHRAE or SMACNA.
A closed return duct system should be used. This will n ot
preclude use of economizers or outdoor fresh air intake. The
supply and return air duct connections at the unit should be
made wit h fl exib le joints to minim iz e noi s e.
The supply and return air duct systems should be designed
for the CFM and static press ure requi rement s of the job. They
should NOT be sized to match the dimensions of the duct
connections on t he unit.
Refer to 9 for bottom air duct openings. Refer to Figure 10 for
rear air duct openings.

DUCT COVERS
Units are shipped with the side duct openings covered and a
covering over the bottom of the unit. For bottom duct application, no duct cover changes are necessary. For side duct
application, remove the side duct covers and install over the
bottom duct openings. The panels removed from the side
duct connecti ons are designed to be reused by securing each
panel to its respective downflow opening. But keep in mind
that the supply panel is installed with the painted surface UP,
facing the heat exchanger, while the return panel is installed
with the painted surface DOWN, facing the downflow duct
opening. The supply panel is secured with the bracket
(already in place from the facto ry) and two screws. I t’s a snug
fit for the panel when sliding it between the heat exchanger
and unit bottom, but there is room. The return panel is
secured with four screws .

The Economizer can be a factory installed option or a field
installed accessory. If factory installed, refer to the instructions included with the outdoor air hood to complete the
assembly. Field installed Economizer accessories include
complete instructions for installation.
There are two Economizer options:
1.Down Flow application with barometric relief hood
standard.
2.Horizontal Flo w application that requires the purchase of
a barometric relief hood.
POWER EXHAUST
The Power Exhaust can be a factory installed option or a field
installed accessory. If factory installed, refer to the instructions included with the outdoor air hood to complete the
assembly. Field installed Power Exhaust accessories include
complete instructions for installation.
The Power Exhaust factory installed option is for Down Flow
application only.
There are two field in stalled Power Exhaust accessories:
1.Down Flow application.
2.Horizontal Flo w application that requires the purchase of
a barometric relief hood.
RAIN HOOD
All of the hood components, including the filters, the gasketing and the hardware for assembling, are packaged and

•With the thermostat set to the indoor fan ON position or
terminals “R” to “G” ener gized, turn the Minimum Position Adjusting scr ew (l ocated on the damper control
module) counterclockwise until the desired mini m um
damper position has been attained.
ENTHALPY SET POINT ADJUSTMENT
The enthalpy set point may now be set by selecting the
desired set point shown in the Enthalpy Set Point Adjustment
Figure 20. Adjust as follows:
•For a single enthalpy operation carefully turn the set
point adjusting screw (found on the damper control mod ule) to the "A", "B", "C" or "D" setting corresponding to
the lettered curve of the Enthalpy Set Point Adjustment
Figure 20.
•For a dual enthal py operati on, car efull y turn the set point
adjusting screw fully clockwise past the "D" setting.
POWER EXHAUST DAMPER SET POINT (WITH OR WITHOUT POWER EXHAUST)
•With no power exhaust option, adjust the Exhaust Air
Adjustment Screw fully clockwise. This will allow 2nd
stage cooling to operate.
•With power exh aust option, each buildi ng pressurization
requirement will be different. The point at which the
power exhaust comes on is dete rmined by the economizer damper position (Percent Open). The Exhaust Air
Adjustment Screw should be set at the Percent Open of
the economizer damper at which the power exhaust is
needed. It can be set from 0 to 100% dampe r open.

ADJUSTMENTS AND INFORMATION
Remove the top rear access panel from the unit. Locate the
economizer control module, where the following adjustments
will be made.
Indoor Air Quality (indoor sensor input): Terminal AQ accepts
a +2 to +10 Vdc signal with respect to the (AQ1) terminal.
When the signal is below it's set point, the act uator is allowed
to modulate normally in accordance with the enthalpy and
mixed air sensor inputs. When the AQ signal exceeds it's set
point setting and there is no call for free cooling, the actuator
is proportionat ely modulated from the 2 to 10 Vdc signal, with
2 Vdc corresponding to full closed and 10 Vdc corresponding
to full open. When there is no call for free coolin g, the damper
position is limited by the IAQ Max damper position setting.
Extreme care must be exercised in turning all set
point, maximum and minimum damper positioning
adjustment screws to prevent twisting them off.
When the signal exceeds it's set point (Demand Control Ven-
tilation Set Point) setting and there is a call for free cooling,
the actuator modulates from the minimum position to the full
open position based on the highest call from either the mixed
MINIMUM POSITION ADJUSTMENT

PHASING
Predator® units are properly phased at the factory. Check for
proper compressor rotation. If the blower or compressors
rotate in the wrong direction at st art-up, the electr ical connection to the unit is misphased. Change the phasing of the Field
Line Connection at the factory or field supplied disconnect to obtain proper rotation. (Scroll compressors operate in
only one direction. If the scroll is drawing low amperage, has
similar suction and discharge pressures, or producing a high
noise level, the scroll is misphased.)
Scroll compressors require proper rotation to operate correctly. Units are properly phased at the factory. Do not change the internal wiring to make the
blower condenser fans, or compressor rotate correctly.

CHECKING AIR QUANTITY
METHOD ONE
1.Remove the dot plugs from the d uct pa nel (for loca tion of
the dot plugs see Figure 10).
2.Insert eight-inches of 1/4 inch metal tubing into the airflow on both sides of the indoor coil.
NOTE: The tubes must be inserted and held in a position
perpendicular to the air flow so that velocity pressure will not af fect the static pressu re readings.
3.Use an Inclined Manometer or Magnehelic to det ermine
the pressure dro p across a dry evaporat or coi l. Si nce the
moisture on an evaporator coil can vary greatly, measuring the pressure drop across a wet coil under field conditions could be inaccu rate. To assure a dry coil, the
compressors shou ld be de- activated while the test is
being run.
NOTE: De-energize the compressors bef ore taking any test
measurement s to assure a dry evaporator coil .
4.The CFM through the unit can be determined from the
pressure drop indicat ed by the manometer by ref erring to
Figure 23. In order to obtain an accurate measurement,
be certain that the air filters are clean.
5.To adj ust Measured CFM to Required CFM, see ’SUPPLY AIR DRIVE ADJUSTMENT’.
6.After readings have been obtained, remove the tubes
and replace the dot plugs.
METHOD TWO
1.Drill two 5/16 inc h hole s, one in the return air duct as
close to the inlet of the uni t as possible, and another in
the supply air duct as close to the outlet of the unit as
possible.
2.Using the whole drilled in step 1, insert eight inches of
1/4 inch metal tubing into the airflow of the return and
supply air ducts of the unit.
NOTE: The tubes m ust be inserted and held in position per-
pendicular to the airflow so that velocity pressure
will not affect the st atic pressure rea dings.
3.Use an Inclined Manometer or Magnehelic to determine
the pressure drop across the unit. This is the External
Static Pressure (ESP). In order to obtain an accurate
measurement, be cert ain that the air filter s are clean.
4.Determine the number of turns the variable motor
sheave is open.
5.Select the correct blower performance table for the unit
from Tables 17 - 28. T ables are presented for hori zontal
and downflow configuration.
6.Determine the unit Measured CFM from the Blower Performance Table, External Static Pressure and the number of turns the variable motor sheave is open.
7.To adj ust Measured CFM to Required CFM, see ’SUPPL Y AIR DRIVE ADJUSTMENT’.
8.After reading has been obtained, remove the tubes and
seal holes.
NOTE: With the addition of field installed accessories
repeat this procedure.
Failure to properly adjust the total system air quantity can result i n extensive blower damage.

SUPPLY AIR DRIVE ADJUSTMENT
Before making any blower speed changes review
the installation for any installation errors, leaks or
undesirable systems effects that can result in loss of
airflow.
Even small changes in blower speed can result in
substantial changes in static pressure and BHP.
BHP and AMP draw of the blower motor will
increase by the cube of the blower speed. Static
pressure will increase by the square of the blower
speed. Only qualified personnel should make blower
speed changes, strictly adhering to the fan l aws.
At unit start-up, the measured CFM may be higher or lower
than the required CFM. To achieve the required CFM, the
speed of the drive may have adjusted by changing the datum
diameter (DD) of the variable pitch motor sheave as
described below:
EXAMPLE
A 12.5 ton unit was selected to deliver 4,000 CFM with a 3
HP motor, but the unit is delivering 3,800 CFM. The variable
pitch motor sheave is set at 2 turns open.
Use the equation to determine the required DD for the new

The pressure drop through the economizer is greater for 100% outdoor air than for 100% return air. If the resistance of the return
air duct system is less than 0.25 IWG, the unit will deliver less CFM during full economizer operation.

OPERATION
SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW
For the Predator® series of units, the the rmostat makes a circuit between "R" and "Y1" for the first stage of cooli ng.
The call is passed to the Unit Control Board (UCB), which
then determines whet her the requested operation is available
and, if so, which components to energize.
When the "W1" call is sensed, the indoor air blower is energized following a speci fied heating delay.
If at any time a call for both heating and cooling are present,
the heating operation will be performed. If operating, the cooling system is halted as with a completion of a call for cooling.
Heating always takes priority.
Unitary Products Group33
Page 34
035-17311-002-A-0803
COOLING SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
CONTINUOUS BLOWER
By setting the room thermost at fan switch to "ON," the suppl y
air blower will operate continuously.
INTERMITTENT BLOWER
With the room thermostat fan switch set to "AUTO" and the
system switch set to either the "AUTO" or "HEAT" settings,
the blower is energiz ed whenever a cooling or heating operation is requested. The blower is energized after any specified
delay associated with the operation.
When energized, the indoor blower has a minimum run time
of 30 seconds. Additionally, the indoor blower has a delay of
10 seconds between operati ons.
NO OUTDOOR AIR OPTIONS
When the thermostat calls for the first stage of cooling, the
low-voltage control circuit from “R” to “Y1” and “G” is completed. The UCB energizes the economizer (if installed and
free cooling is available) or the first available compressor
and the condenser fans. For first stage cooling, compressor
#1 is energized. If compressor #1 is unavailable, compressor
#2 is energized. After completing the specified fan on delay
for cooling, the UCB will energize the blower motor.
pleted. The UCB energizes the blower motor (if the fan switch
on the room thermostat is set in the "AUTO" position) and
drives the economizer dampers from fully closed to their minimum position. If the enthalpy of the outdoor air is below the
set point of the enthalpy controller (previously determined),
"Y1" energizes the economizer. The dampers will m odulate to
maintain a constant supply air temperature as monitored by
the discharge air sensor. If the outdoor air enthalpy is above
the set point, "Y1" energizes compressor #1.
When the therm ostat calls for " second-stage" cooling, the low
voltage control circuit from "R" to "Y2" is completed. The UCB
energizes th e first availabl e compressor. If the ent halpy of the
outdoor air is below the set point of the enthalpy controller
(i.e. first stage has energized the economizer), "Y2" will energize compressor #1. If the outdoor air is above the set point,
"Y2" will energize com pressor #2.
Once the thermostat has been satisfied, it will de-energize
“Y1” and “Y2”. If the compressors have satisfied their minimum run times, the compressors and condenser f ans are deenergized. Otherwise, the unit operates each cooling system
until the minimum run times for the compressors have been
completed. Upon the final compressor de-energizing, the
*
blower is stopped following the elapse of the fan off delay for
cooling, and the eco nomizer damper goes to the closed position. If the unit is in continues fan operation, the economizer
damper goes to the minimum position.
When the thermostat calls for the second stage of cooling,
the low-voltage control circuit from “R” to “Y2” is completed.
The control board energizes the first available compressor. If
free cooling is being used for the first stage of cooling, compressor #1 is energized. If compressor #1 is active for first
stage cooling or the first compressor is locked-out, compressor #2 is energized. In free-cooling mode, if the call for the
second stage of cooling continues for 20 minutes, compressor #2 is energized, provided it has not been locked-out.
If there is an initial call for both stages of coolin g, the UCB will
delay energizing compressor #2 by 30 seconds in order to
avoid a power rush.
Once the thermostat has been satisfied, it wil l de-energize Y1
and Y2. If the compressors have satisfied their minimum run
times, the compressors and condenser fans are de-energized. Otherwise, the unit operates each cooling system until
the minimum run times for the compressors have been completed. Upon the final compressor de-energizing, the blower
is stopped f ollowing the elapse of the fan off del ay for cooling.
* To be available, a compressor must not be locked-out due
to a high or low-pressure switch or freezestat trip and the
Anti-Short Cycle Delay (ASCD) must have elapsed.
ECONOMIZER WITH SINGLE ENTHALPY SENSOR -
ECONOMIZER WITH DUAL ENTHALPY SENSORS -
The operation with the dual enthalpy sensors is identical to
the single sensor except that a second enthalpy sensor is
mounted in the return air. This return air sensor allows the
economizer to choose between outdoor air and return air,
whichever has the lowest enthalpy value, to provide maximum operating efficiency.
ECONOMIZER WITH POWER EXHAUST -
A unit equipped with an economizer (single or dual enthalpy)
and a power exhaust operates as specified above with one
addition. The power exhaust motor is energized 45 seconds
after the actuator position exceeds the exhaust fan set point
on the economizer control. When the power exhaust is operating, the second stage of mechanical cooling will not operate. As always, the "R" to "G" connection provides minimum
position but does not provide power exhaust operat ion.
MOTORIZED OUTDOOR AIR DAMPERS -
This system operation is the same as the units with no outdoor air options with one exception. When the "R" to "G" circuit is complete, the motorized damper drives open to a
position set by the thumbwheel on the damper motor. When
the "R" to "G" circuit is opened, the damper spring returns
fully close d .
When the room thermostat calls for "first-stage" cooling, the
low voltage control circuit from "R" to "G" and "Y1" is com-

COOLING OPERATION ERRORS
Each cooling system is monitored for operation outside of the
intended parameters. Errors are han dled as described below.
All system errors override minimum run times for compressors.
HIGH-PRESSURE LIMIT SWITCH
During cooling operation, if a high-pressure limit switch
opens, the UCB will de-energize the associated compressor,
initiate the ASCD (Anti-short cycle delay), and, if the other
compressor is idle, stop the condenser fans. If the call for
cooling is still present at the conclusion of the ASCD, the
UCB will re-energize the halted compressor.
Should a high-pressure switch open three times within two
hours of operat ion, the UCB will lock-out the associated compressor and flash a code (see 37). If the other compressor is
inactive, the condenser fans will be de-ene rgized.
LOW-PRESSURE LIMIT SWITCH
The low-pressure limit switch is not monitored during the initial 30 seconds of a cooling system's operation. For the following 30 seconds, the UCB will monitor the low-pressure
switch to ensure it closes. If the low-p ressure sw itch fails to
close after the 30-second monitoring phase, the UCB will deenergize the associated compressor, initiate the ASCD, and,
if the other compressor is idle, stop the condenser fans.
Once the low-pressure switch has been proven (closed during the 30-second monitor period described above), the UCB
will monitor the low-pressure limit switch for any openings. If
the low-pressure switch opens for greater than 5 seconds,
the UCB will de-energize the associated compressor, initiate
the ASCD, and, if the other compressor is idle, stop the condenser fans.
LOW AMBIENT COOLING
To determine when to operat e in low ambient mode, the UCB
has a pair of terminals connected to a temperature-activated
switch set at 45ºF. When the low ambient switch is closed
and the thermostat is cal li ng for cooling, the UCB will operate
in the low ambient mode.
Low ambient mode ope rates the compressor s in this manner:
10 minutes on, 5 minutes off. The indoor blower is operated
throughout the cycle. The 5-minute off period is necessary to
defrost the indoor coi l.
Low ambient mode always begins with compressor operation. Compressor minimum run time may extend the minutes
of compressor operation. The defrost cycle will begin immediately following the elapse of the minimum run time.
When operating in low ambient mode, the UCB will not lockout the compressors due to a freezestat trip. However, a
freezestat trip will de-energize the associated compressor. If
the call for cooling is still present at the end of the ASCD and
the freezest at has closed, the unit will resu me operation.
SAFETY CONTROLS
The unit control board monitors the following inputs for each
cooling system:
1.A suction line freezestat to prot ect against low evaporator temperatures due to a low air fl ow or a lo w retu rn ai r
temperature, (opens at 26 ± 5 ° F and resets at 38 ± 5°F).
2.A high-pressure switch to prote ct against excessive discharge pressures due to a blocked condenser coil or a
condenser motor failure, (opens at 405 ± 10 psig or 440
± 10 psig depending on unit model).
3.A low-pressure switch to protect against loss of refrigerant charge, (opens at 7 ± 3 psig or 22 ± 5 psig) .
If the call for cooling is still present at the conclusion of the
ASCD, the UCB will re-energize the halted compressor.
Should a low-pressure switch open three times within one
hour of operation, the UCB will lock-out the associated compressor and flash a code (37). If the other compressor is inactive, the condenser fans will be de-energized.
FREEZESTAT
During cooling operation, if a freezestat opens, the UCB will
de-energize the associated compressor, initiate the ASCD,
and, if the other compressor is idle, stop the condenser fans.
If the call for cooling is still present at the conclusion of the
ASCD, the UCB will re-energize the halted compressor.
Should a freezestat open three times within two hours of
operatio n, the UCB w ill lock-out the associate d compresso r
and flash a code (37). If the other compressor is inactive, the
condenser fans will be de-energized.
Unitary Products Group35
The above pressure switches are hard-soldered to the unit.
The refrigeration systems are independently monitored and
controlled. On any fault, only the associated system will be
affected by any saf ety/ prevent ive acti on. The oth er refrige ran t
system will continue in operation unless it is affected by the
fault as well.
The unit control board monitors the temperature limit switch
of electric heat units and the temperature limit switch and the
gas valve of gas furnace units.
COMPRESSOR PROTECTION
In addition to the external pressure snitches, the compressors also have inherent (internal) protection. If there is an
abnormal temperature rise in a compressor, the protector will
open to shut down the compressor. The UCB incorporates
features to minimize compressor wear and damage. An Anti-Short Cycle Delay (ASCD) is utilized to prevent operation of
Page 36
035-17311-002-A-0803
a compressor too soon after its previous run. Additionally, a
minimum run time is imposed any time a compressor is energized.
The ASCD is initiat ed on unit start-up and on any compressor
reset or lock-out.
FLASH CODES
The UCB will initiate a flash code associated with errors
within the system. Refer to UNIT CONTROL BOARD FLASH
CODES 37.
RESET
Remove the call for cooling, by raising thermostat setting
higher than the conditioned space temperature. This resets
any pressure or freez estat flash codes.
ELECTRIC HEATI NG SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS
The following sequence describes the operation of the electric heat section.
Two-s tage heating:
a.Upon a call for first stage heat by the thermostat, the
heater relay (RA) wi ll be energized. After completing
the specified fan on delay for heating, the UCB will
energize the blower motor. If the second stage of
heat is required, heater relay (RB) will be energized.
After completing the specified fan on delay for heating, the UCB will energize the blower motor.
b.The thermostat will cycle the electric heat to satisfy
the heating requirements of the conditioned space.
ELECTRIC HEATING OPERATI ON ERRORS
TEMPERATURE LIMIT
If the UCB senses zero volts from the high temperature limit,
the indoor blower motor is imm ediately energized.
This limit is monitored regardless of unit operation status, i.e.
the limit is monitored at all times.
If the temperature limit opens three times within one hour, it
will lock-on the indoor blower motor and a flash code is initiated (See Table 37).
Limit Setting Table 32. It resets automatically. The limit switch
operates when a high temperature condition, caused by inadequate supply air flow occurs, thus shutting down the heater
and energizing the blower.

ELECTRIC HEAT ANTICTPATOR SETPOINTS
It is important that the anticipator setpoint be correct. Too
high of a setting will result in longer heat cycles and a greater
temperature swing in the conditioned space. Reducing the
value below the correct setpoint will give shorter “ON” cycles
and may result in the lowering of the temperature within the
conditioned space. Refer to Table 33 for the required electric
heat anticipator setting.

When charging each system, superheat data should be taken
at the compressor i nlet.
TABLE 34: 7.5 TON STANDARD EFFICIENCY SUPERHEAT CHARGING
Prior to any of the following maintenance procedures, shut off all power to the unit to prevent personal inju r y.
Periodic maintenance normally consists of changing or cleaning filters.
GENERAL
FILTERS
Inspect once a month. Replace disposable or clean permanent type as necessary. DO NOT replace permanent type
with disposable.
MOTORS
Indoor fan and outdoor fan motor s are permanent ly lubr icat ed
and require no maintena nce.
OUTDOOR COIL
Dirt should not be allowed to accumulate on the outdoor coil
surface or other parts in the air circuit. Cleaning should be as
often as necessary to keep coil clean. Use a brush, vacuum
cleaner attachment, or other suitable means. If water is used
to clean coil, be sure power to the unit is shut off prior to
cleaning. Service access is provided in the front and rear
condenser compartment panels to provide improved access
to the condenser coils.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting of components may require opening the electrical control box with the power connected to the unit. Use extreme care whenworking with live circuits! Check the unit nameplate for the correct line voltage and set the voltmeter to the correct range before making any
connections with line terminals.
When not necessary, shut off all electric power to the
unit prior to any of the following maintenance procedures so as to prevent personal injury.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing
controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation which could cause injury to person
and/or damage unit c om ponents. Verify proper operation after servi cing.
PREDATOR® FLASH CODES
Various flash codes are utilized by the unit control board
(UCB) to aid troubleshooting. Flash codes are distinguished
by the short on and off cycle used (approximately 200ms on
and 200ms off). To show normal operation, the control board
flashes a 1 second on, 1 second off “heartb eat ” during normal
operation. This is to verify that the UCB is functioning correctly. Do not confuse this with an error flash c ode. To prevent
confusion, a 1-flash, flash code is not used.
Do not remove service panels or attempt to clean
the interior of the condenser section when the unit
is powered and/or operating. Shut off all power to
the unit prior to cleaning or maintenance of the
condenser section internals.
NOTE: Exerc ise care when cleaning the coil so that the coil
fins are not damaged. Do not permit the outdoor air
discharge to be obstructed by overhanging structures of shrubs .
Unitary Products Group39
Current alarms are flashed on the UCB LED. The alarm history can be checked by pressing and releasing the ALARMS
button on the UCB. The UCB will cycle through the last five
(5) alarms, m ost recent to old est, separating each alarm flash
code by approximately 2 seconds.
In some cases, it may be necessary to “zero” the ASCD for
the compressors in order to perfor m troubleshooting. To reset
all ASCDs for one cycle, press and release the UCB TEST
button once.

COOLING TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
On calls for cooling, if the compressors are operating but the
supply air blower motor does not energize aft er a short delay
(the room thermost at fan switch is in the “AUT O” position):
1.Turn the thermostat fan switc h to the ON position. If the
supply air blow er motor does not energize, go to Step 3.
2.If the blower motor runs with the fan switch i n the ON
position but wil l not run after the first compressor has
energized when the f an swit ch is in the AUTO position,
check the room thermostat for contact between R and G
in the AUTO position during calls for cooling.
3.If the supply air blower motor does not energize when
the fan switch is set to ON, check that line voltage is
being supplied to the contacts of the M3, contactor, and
that the contactor is pulled in. Check for loose wiring
between the contactor and the supply air blower motor.
4.If M3 is pulled in and voltage is supplied to M3, lightly
touch the supp ly ai r blower mot or housi ng. I f it is hot , the
motor may be off on int ernal protection. Cancel any
thermostat c alls and set the f an switch to AUT O. W ai t f or
the internal overload to reset. Test again when cool.
5.If M3 is not pulled in, check for 24 volts at the M3 coi l. If
24 volts are pre sent at M3 but M3 is not pulled in,
replace the cont actor.
6.Failing the above, if there is l ine voltage supplied at M3,
M3 is pulled in, and the suppl y air blower mot or stil l does
not operate, replace the motor.
7.If 24 volts is not present at M3, check that 24 volts is
present at the UCB supply ai r blower motor terminal,
“FAN”. If 24 volts is present at the FAN, check for loose
wiring between the UCB and M3.
8.If 24 volts is not present at the “FAN” termin al, check for
24 volts fro m the room thermostat. If 24 volt s are not
present from the room thermostat, check for the following:
a.Proper operation of the room thermostat (contact
between R and G with the fan switch i n the ON position and in the AUTO position during operation
calls).
b.Proper wiring between the room thermostat and the
UCB, and
c.Loose wiring from the room thermostat to the UCB
9.If 24 volts i s presen t at t he room ther most at bu t not at the
UCB, check for proper wiring between the thermostat
and the UCB, i.e. that the ther m ostat G terminal is connected to the G terminal of the UCB, and for loose wiring.
10. If the thermostat and UCB are properly wired, replace
the UCB.
On calls for cooling, the supply air blower motor is operating
but compressor #1 is not (the room ther m ostat fan switch is in
the “AUTO” position):
1.If installed, check th e positi on of the economizer blades.
If the blades are open, the economizer is providing free
cooling and the compres sors will not immediately operate. If both stages of cooling are requested simul taneously and the economizer provides free cooling,
following a short delay com pressor #1 will be energize d
unless it is locked out . If com pressor #1 is locked out,
compressor #2 is energi zed. Compressor #2 is always
energized in place of compressor #1 when compresso r
#1 is requested but locked out.
2.If no economizer is installed or the economizer is not
opening to provide free cooling and compressor #1 does
not energize on a call for cooling, check for line voltage
at the compressor cont actor, M1, and that the contactor
is pulled in. Check for loose wi ri ng between the contactor and the compressor.
3.If M1 is pulled in and voltage is suppli ed at M1, lightly
touch the compressor housing. If it is hot, the compressor may be off on inhere nt pr otection. Cancel any calls
for cooling and wait for the i nternal overload to reset .
Test again when cool.
4.If M1 is not pulled in, check fo r 24 volts at the M1 coil. If
24 volts are prese nt and M1 is not pulled in, replace the
contactor.
5.Failing the above, if voltage is supplied at M1, M1 is
pulled in, and the comp ressor still does not operate,
replace the compressor.
6.If 24 volts is not present at M1, chec k for 24 volts at the
UCB terminal, C1. If 24 volts is present, check for loose
wiring between C1 and the compressor contactor.
7.If 24 volts is not present at the C1 termi nal, check for 24
volts from the room thermostat at the UCB Y1 terminal .
If 24 volt s is no t prese nt fr om the room thermost a t, chec k
for the following:
a.24 volts at the thermostat Y1 ter m inal
b.Proper wiring between the room thermostat and the
UCB, i.e. Y1 to Y1, Y2 to Y2, and
c.Loose wiring from the room thermostat to the UCB
8.If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y1 terminal, t he com pressor may be out due to an open high-pressur e switch,
low-pressure switch, or freezestat. Check for 24 volts at
the HPS1, LPS1, and FS1 terminals of the UCB. If a
switch has opened, there should be a voltage potential
between the UCB terminals, e.g. if LPS1 has opened,
there will be a 24-volt potential between the LPS1 terminals.
9.If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y1 terminal and none of
the protection switc hes have open ed, the UCB m ay hav e
Unitary Products Group41

locked out the compress or f or repeat trips. The UCB
should be flashing an alarm code. If not, press and
release the ALARMS button on the UCB. The UCB will
flash the last five alarms on the LED. If the compressor
is locked out, cancel any call for cooling. This will r eset
any compressor lock outs.
NOTE: While the above step will reset any lockouts, com-
pressor #1 may be held off for the ASCD. See the
next step.
10. If 24 volts is pr esent at the UCB Y1 term inal and none of
the switches are open and the comp ressor is not locked
out, the UCB may have the compressor in an ASCD.
Check the LED for an indication of an ASCD cycl e. The
ASCD should time out within 5 minutes. Press and
release the TEST button to reset all ASCDs.
1 1. If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y1 terminal and the
compressor is not out due to a protective switch trip,
repeat trip lock out, or ASCD, the economizer terminals
of the UCB may be improper ly wired. Check for 24 volts
at the Y1 “OUT” terminal of the UCB. If 24 volts is
present, trace the wiri ng from Y1 “OUT” for incorrect wiring. If 24 volts is not present at the Y1 “OUT” terminal,
the UCB must be replaced.
12. For units without economizers: If 24 volts is present at
the Y1 OUT terminal, check for 24 volts at the Y1
“ECON” terminal. If 24 volts is not present, check for
loose wiring from the Y1 “OUT” terminal to the Mate-NLock plug, the jumper in the Mate-N-Lock plug, and in
the wiring from the Mate-N-Lock plug to the Y1 “ECON”
terminal.
13. For units with economizers: If 24 volts is prese nt at the
Y1 “OUT” terminal, check for 24 volts at the Y1 “ECON”
terminal. If 24 volts is not present, check for loose wiring
from the Y1 “OUT” terminal to the Mate-N-Lock plug, a
poor connection bet ween the UCB and economizer
Mate-N-Lock plugs, loose wiring from the Mate-N-Lock
plug to the economizer, back to the Mate-N-Lock plug,
and from the Mate-N-Lock plug t o the Y1 “ECON” terminal. If nothing is found, the econ omiz er contr ol may ha ve
faulted and is failing to return the 24-volt “call” to the Y1
“ECON” terminal even though th e economizer is not providing free c ooling . To test, disconnect the Ma te-N- Locks
and jumper between the WHITE and YELLOW wires of
the UCB’s Mate-N-Loc k plug. If compressor #1 energizes, there is a fault in the economizer wiring or the
economizer control.
14. The UCB can be programmed to lock out compressor
operation during fr ee cooling and in low ambient conditions. These options are not enabled by default. Local
York distri butors can test the UCB for this progra mmi ng.
15. If none of the above corrected the error, test the integrity
of the UCB. Disconnect the C1 terminal wire an d jumper
it to the Y 1 terminal. DO NOT jump the Y1 to C1 termi nals. If the compressor engages, the UCB has faulted.
16. If none of the above correct the error, replace the UCB.
On calls for the second stage of cooling, the supply air blower
motor and compr essor #1 are operati ng but compressor #2 is
not (the room thermostat fan switch is in the “AUTO” position):
1.If installed, check the posit ion of t he economize r blades.
If the blades are open, t he econom izer is providing free
cooling. If the second stage of cooling is requested, following a short delay, compressor #1 will be energized
unless it is locked out. Typically, compressor #2 is energized only during free cooling if the call for the second
stage of cooli ng persists for 20 minu tes.
2.Compressor #2 will not energize sim ult aneously with
compressor #1 if a cal l f or both stages of cooling is
received. The UCB delays compressor #2 by 30 seconds to prevent a power surge. If after the delay compressor #2 does not ener gize on a second stage call for
cooling, check for line voltage at the compr e ssor contactor, M2, and that the contactor is pulled in. Check for
loose wiring between the contactor and the compressor.
3.If M2 is pulled in and voltage is supplied at M2, lightly
touch the compressor housing. If it is hot, the compr e ssor may be off on inher ent protection. Cancel any cal ls
for cooling and wait f or the internal overload to reset.
Test again when cool.
4.If M2 is not pulled in, check for 24 volts at the M2 coil. If
24 volts is present and M2 is not pulled in, replace the
contactor.
5.Failing the above, if voltage is supplied at M2, M2 is
pulled in, and the compressor still does not operate,
replace the compres sor.
6.If 24 volts is not present at M2, check for 24 volts at the
UCB terminal, C2. If 24 volts are present, check for
loose wiring between C2 and th e com pressor contactor.
7.If 24 volts is not present at the C2 terminal, check for 24
volts from the room thermostat at the UCB Y2 terminal.
If 24 volt s is n ot pres ent from t he room thermos tat, ch eck
for the following:
a.24 volts at the thermostat Y2 terminal
b.Proper wiring between the room thermostat and the
UCB, i.e. Y1 to Y1, Y2 to Y2, and
c.Loose wiring from the room thermostat to the UCB
8.If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y2 terminal, the compressor ma y be out du e to an ope n high- pr essure switch ,
low-pressur e swit ch, or freezest at. Check for 24 volts at
the HPS2, LPS2, and FS2 terminals of the UCB. If a
switch has opened, t here should be a voltage potent ial
between the UCB terminals, e.g. if LPS2 has opened,
there will be 24 volts of potential between the LPS2 te rminals.

9.If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y2 terminal and none of
the protect ion s witche s ha ve opened, t he UCB m ay have
locked out the compr essor for repeat trips . The UCB
should be flashing a code. If not, press and release the
ALARMS button on the UCB. The UCB will flas h the last
five alarms on the LED. If the com pressor is locked out,
remove any call for cooling at the thermostat or by disconnecting t he thermost at wiring at the Y2 UCB t erminal.
This will reset any compressor lock outs.
NOTE: While the above step will reset any loc k outs, c om-
pressor #1 will be held off for the ASCD, and compressor #2 may be held off for a portion of the
ASCD. See the next step.
10. If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y2 t erminal and none of
the switches are open and the compressor is not locked
out, the UCB may have the compressor in an ASCD.
Check the LED for an indication of an ASCD cycle. The
ASCD should time out within 5 minutes. Press and
release the TEST button t o reset all ASCDs.
1 1. The UCB can be programmed to lock out compressor
operation during free cooling and in low ambient conditions. These opt ions are not enabled by default . Local
York distributors can test the UCB for this programming.
12. If none of the ab ove corrected the error, test the integri ty
of the UCB. Disconnect the C2 terminal wire and j umper
it to the Y2 terminal. DO NOT jump the Y2 to C2 terminals. If the compressor engages, the UCB has faulted.
13. If none of the above correct the err or, replace the UCB.
On a call for cooling, the supply air blower motor and compressor #2 are operating but compressor #1 is not (the room
thermostat fan switch is in the “AUTO” posi tion):
1.Compressor #2 is energized in place of compressor #1
when compressor #1 is unav ail able for cooling call s.
Check the UCB for alarms i ndicating that compressor #1
is locked out. Press and re lease the ALARMS button if
the LED is not flashing an alar m.
2.Check for line voltage at the compressor contact or, M1,
and that t he cont ac tor i s pul led i n. Che ck for l oose wi ring
between the contactor and the compressor.
3.If M1 is pulled in and voltage is supplied at M1, lightly
touch the compressor housing. If it is hot, the compressor may be off on inher ent protection. Cancel any calls
for cooling and wait for the internal overload to reset.
Test again when cool.
4.If M1 is not pulled in, check for 24 volts at the M1 coi l. If
24 volts is present and M1 is not pulled in, replace the
contactor.
5.Failing the above, if voltage is supplied at M1, M1 is
pulled in, and the comp ressor still does not operate,
replace the compressor.
6.If 24 volts is not present at M1, chec k for 24 volts at the
UCB terminal, C1. If 24 volts is present, check for loose
wiring between C1 and the compressor contactor.
7.If 24 volts is not present at the C1 termi nal, check for 24
volts from the room thermostat at the UCB Y1 terminal .
If 24 volts are not present at the UCB Y1 terminal, the
UCB may have faulted. Check for 24 volts at the Y1
ECON terminal. If 24 volts is not present at Y1 “ECON” ,
the UCB has faulted. The UCB should de-energize all
compressors on a loss of cal l for the first stage of cooling, i.e. a loss if 24 volts at the Y1 terminal.
8.If 24 volts are present at the UCB Y1 terminal, t he com pressor may be out due to an open high-pressur e switch,
low-pressure switch, or freezestat. Check for 24 volts at
the HPS1, LPS1, and FS1 terminals of the UCB. If a
switch has opened, there should be a voltage potential
between the UCB terminals, e.g. if LPS1 has opened,
there will be a 24-volt potential between the LPS1 terminals.
9.If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y1 terminal and none of
the protection switc hes have open ed, the UCB m ay hav e
locked out the compres sor for repeat trips. The UCB
should be flashing a code. If not, press and release the
ALARMS button on the UCB. The UCB will flash the la st
five alarms on the LED. If the compressor is locked out,
remove any call for cooling. This will reset any compressor lock outs.
NOTE: While the above step will reset any lock outs, com-
pressor #2 will be held off for the ASCD, and compressor #1 may be held off for a portion of the
ASCD. See the next step.
10. If 24 volts is pr esent at the UCB Y1 te rminal and none of
the switches are open and the compressor is not locked
out, the UCB may have the compresso r in an ASCD.
Check the LED for an indicati on of an ASCD cycle. The
ASCD should time out within 5 minutes. Press and
release the TEST button to reset all ASCDs.
1 1. If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y1 terminal and the
compressor is not out due to a prot ective switch trip,
repeat trip lock out , or ASCD, the economizer terminals
of the UCB may be improperly wired. Check for 24 volts
at the Y1 “OUT” terminal of the UCB. If 24 volts is
present, trace the wiri ng fr om Y1 “OUT” for incorrect wiring. If 24 volts is not present at the Y1 “OUT” terminal,
the UCB must be replaced.
12. For units without economizers: If 24 volts is pres ent at
the Y1 “O UT ” terminal, che ck fo r 2 4 v ol ts at th e Y 1
“ECON” terminal. If 24 volts is not present, check for
loose wiring from the Y1 “OUT” termi nal to the Mate-NLock plug, the jumper in the Mate-N-Lock plug, and in
the wiring from the Mate-N-Loc k plug to the Y1 “ECON”
terminal.
For units with economizers:If 24 volts is present at the
Y1 “OUT” terminal, check fo r 24 vol ts at the Y1 “ECON”

terminal. If 24 vol ts i s not pres ent, chec k for loo se wiring
from the Y1 “OUT” terminal to the Mate-N-Lock plug, a
poor connection between the UCB and economizer
Mate-N-Lock plugs, loose wiring from the Mate-N-Lock
plug to the economiz er, back to the Mate-N-Lock plug,
and from the Mate-N-L ock plug to the Y1 “ECON”
terminal. The eco nomizer control may have fault ed and
is not returning the 24 vol ts to the Y1 “ECON” terminal
even though the economizer is not providing free
cooling. To test the economizer control, disconnect the
Mate-N-Locks and jumper between the WHITE and
YELLOW wires of the UCB’s Mate-N-Lock plug.
13. The UCB can be programmed to lock out compressor
operation during fr ee cooling and in low ambient condi tions. These options are not enabled by default. They
can be checked by local York distributors.
14. If none of the above corrected the error, test the integrit y
of the UCB. Disconnect th e C1 termin al wire and ju mper
it to the Y1 terminal. DO NOT jump the Y1 to C1 terminals. If the compressor engages, the UCB has faulted.
15. If none of the above correct the error, replace the UCB.
