IMPORTANT INSTALLER NOTE
For improved start-up performance, wash the indoor coil
with a dishwasher detergent.
HIGH PRESSURE SWITCH
The WA372 models are supplied with a remote reset
high pressure switch. If tripped, this pressure switch
may be reset by turning the thermostat off then back on
again.
THREE PHASE SCROLL COMPRESSOR
START UP INFORMATION
Scroll compressors, like several other types of
compressors, will only compress in one rotational
direction. Direction of rotation is not an issue with
single phase compressors since they will always start
and run in the proper direction.
However, three phase compressors will rotate in either
direction depending upon phasing of the power. Since
there is a 50-50 chance of connecting power in such a
way as to cause rotation in the reverse direction,
verification of proper rotation must be made. All three
phase units incorporate a phase monitor to ensure proper
field wiring. See the Phase Monitor section in this
manual.
Verification of proper rotation must be made any time a
compressor is change or rewired. If improper rotation is
corrected at this time there will be no negative impact on
the durability of the compressor. However, reverse
operation for over one hour may have a negative impact
on the bearing due to oil pump out.
NOTE: If compressor is allowed to run in reverse
rotation for several minutes, the compressor's
internal protector will trip.
All three phase ZR3 compressors are wired identical
internally. As a result, once the correct phasing is
determined for a specific system or installation,
connecting properly phased power leads to the same
Fusite terminal should maintain proper rotation
direction.
Verification of proper rotation direction is made by
observing that suction pressure drops and discharge
pressure rises when the compressor is energized.
Reverse rotation also results in an elevated sound level
over that with correct rotations, as well as, substantially
reduced current draw compared to tabulated values.
The direction of rotation of the compressor may be
changed by reversing any two line connections to the
unit.
START UP
PHASE MONITOR
All units with three phase compressors are equipped
with a 3 phase line monitor to prevent compressor
damage due to phase reversal.
The phase monitor in this unit is equipped with two
LEDs. If the Y signal is present at the phase monitor
and phases are correct the green LED will light.
If phases are reversed, the red fault LED will be lit and
compressor operation is inhibited.
If a fault condition occurs, reverse two of the supply
leads to the unit. Do not reverse any of the unit factory
wires as damage may occur.
SERVICE HINTS
1. Caution homeowner to maintain clean air filters at all
times. Also, not to needlessly close off supply and
return air registers. This reduces airflow through the
system, which shortens equipment service life as well
as increasing operating costs.
2. Check all power fuses or circuit breakers to be sure
they are the correct rating.
3. Periodic cleaning of the outdoor coil to permit full
and unrestricted airflow circulation is essential.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Cooling—Circuit R-Y makes at thermostat pulling in
compressor contactor, starting the compressor and
outdoor motor. The G (indoor motor) circuit is
automatically completed on any call for cooling
operation or can be energized by manual fan switch on
subbase for constant air circulation. On all 230 volt
units, there is a one-minute off delay on the blower
motor. 460 volt models do not have an off delay. On a
call for heating, circuit R-W1 make at the thermostat
pulling in heat contact for the strip heat and blower
operation. On a call for second stage heat, R-W2 makes
bringing on second heat contactor, if so equipped.
