Gas Input
The gas input does not require checking unless improper heating
performance is suspected. If a problem exists, r efer to the Start--Up
section.
Evaporator Airflow
The heating and/or cooling airflow does not require checking
unless improper performance is suspected. I f a problem exists, be
sure that all supply-- and return-- air grilles are open and free from
obstructions, and that the air filter is clean. When necessary, refer to
the Indoor Airflow and Airflow Adjustments section to check the
system airflow .
Puron Items
Metering Device (Thermostatic Expansion Valve
)
This metering device is a hard shutoff, balance port TXV. The
TXV maintains a constant superheat at the evaporator exit resulting
in higher overall system efficiency.
Pressure Switches
Pressure switches are protective devices wired into control circuit
(low voltage). They shut off compressor if abnormally high or low
pressures are present in the refrigeration circuit. These pressure
switches are specifically designed to operate with Puron (R--410A)
systems. R--22 pressure switches must not be used as replacements
for the Puron (R--410A) system.
Loss of Charge Switch
This switch is located on the liquid line and protects against low
suction pressures caused by such events as loss of charge, low
airflow across indoor coil, dirty filters, etc. It opens on a pressure
drop at about 20 psig. If system pressure is above this, switch
should be closed. To check switch:
1. Turn off all power to unit.
2. Disconnect leads on switch.
3. Apply ohm meter leads across switch. You should have
continuity on a good switch.
NOTE: B ecause these switches are attached to refrigeration
system under pressure, it is not advisable to remove this device for
troubleshooting unless you are reasonably certain that a problem
exists. If switch must be removed, remove and recover all system
charge so that pressure gauges read 0 psig. Never open system
without breaking vacuum with dry nitrogen.
High--Pressure Switch
The high--pressure switch is located in the discharge line and
protects against excessive condenser coil pressure. It opens at 650
psig.
High pressure may be caused by a dirty outdoor coil, failed fan
motor, or outdoor air recirculation. To check switch:
1. Turn off all power to unit.
2. Disconnect leads on switch.
3. Apply ohm meter leads across switch. You should have
continuity on a good switch.
Copeland Scroll Compressor (Puron Refrigerant)
The compressor used in this product is specifically designed to
operate with Puron (R-- 410A) refrigerant and cannot be
interchanged.
The compressor is an electrical (as well a s mechanical) device.
Exercise extreme caution when working near compressors. Power
should be shut off, if possible, for most troubleshooting techniques.
Refrigerants present additional safety hazards.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death and/or property damage.
Wear safety glasses and gloves when handling refrigerants.
Keep torches and other ignition sources away from
refrigerants and oils.
!
WARNING
The scroll compressor pumps refrigerant throughout the system by
the interaction of a stationary and an orbiting scroll. The s croll
compressor has no dynamic suction or discharge valves, and it is
more tolerant of stresses caused by debris, liquid slugging, and
flooded starts. The compressor is equipped with an anti--rotational
device and an internal pressure relief port. The pressure relief port
is a safety device, designed to protect against extreme high
