Unit Start−Up and Operation
Each 15CHAX packaged cooling unit is factory−charged
with R−410A refrigerant. The compressor is hermetically
sealed, internally sprung and base−mounted with
rubber−insulated hold−down bolts.
Pre−Start Check List:
1 − Make sure refrigerant lines do not rub against the cabi-
net or each other.
2 − Inspect all electrical wiring, both factory− and field−
installed, for loose connections.
3 − Check voltage at the disconnect switch. Voltage must
be within the range listed on the unit nameplate. If not,
consult power company and have voltage condition
corrected before starting unit.
4 − Recheck voltage with unit running. If power is not with-
in the range listed on the unit nameplate, stop the unit
and consult the power company. Check unit amper-
age. Refer to unit nameplate for correct running amps.
5 − Make sure filter is in place before unit start−up.
6 − Before placing the unit into full operation, energize the
unit for three false starts. Energize the compressor
just long enough for it to make a few revolutions, wait
five to seven minutes before repeating a second and
third time.
Cooling Sequence of Operation
When the thermostat calls for cooling, the R" to Y" circuit
is closed to energize the compressor contactor. The
contactor brings on both the compressor and outdoor fan.
The thermostat also closes the R" to G" circuit to energize
the circulating air blower. When the cooling demand is
satisfied, the thermostat opens the circuits, as well as the
compressor contactor. The compressor and outdoor fan
immediately stop. The circulating air blower continues
operating through a 90−second delay.
Unit compressors have internal protection. If there is an
abnormal rise in the compressor temperature, the
protector will open and the compressor will stop.
System Performance
For maximum performance of this cooling system, the
operating temperatures and pressure should be checked
and subcooling determined at Standard ARI test conditions
of 82_ F outdoor temperature / 80_ F indoor dry bulb / 67_ F
indoor wet bulb. If subcooling measured deviates from
values in table 6, refrigerant charge should be adjusted
accordingly for maximum performance.

Verify system performance using table 7 as a general
guide. Table 7 should not be used for charging unit. Minor
variations in these pressures may be expected due to dif-
ferences in installations. Significant differences could
mean that the system is not properly charged or that a prob-
lem exists with some component in the system.
Used carefully, this table could serve as a useful service
guide. Data is based on 80°F dry bulb / 67°F wet bulb return
air. Allow unit operation to stabilize before taking pressure
readings.
