CONDENSER FAN
NOTE: Refer to the heating and/or cooling sequence of operation
in this publication as an aid in determining proper control
operation
_GERANT CIRCUIT
Annually inspect all refrigerant tubing connections and the unit
base for oil accumulations. Detecting oil generally indicates a
refrigerant leak.
l. Remove 6 screws holding condenser grille and motor to top
cover.
2. Turn motor/grille a_s_mbly upside down on top cover to
expose the fan blade.
3. Inspect the fan blades for cracks or bends.
4. If fan needs to be removed, loosen the setscrew and slide the
fan off the motor shaft.
5. When replacing fan blade, position blade so the hub is 1/8 in.
away from the motor end (l/8 ha. of motor shaft will be
visible. See Fig. 12).
6. ErL_ure that setscrew engages the flat area on the motor shaft
when tightening.
7. Replace grille.
ELECTRICAL CONTROLS AND WIRING
Irmpect and check the electrical controls and wiring annually. Be
sure to turn off the gas supply, and then the electrical power to the
uniL
Remove access panel to locate all the electrical controls and
wiring. Check all electrical connections for tightness. Tighten all
screw connections. If any smoky or burned connections are
noticed, disassemble the connection, clean all the parts, restrip the
wire end and reassemble the connection properly and securely.
After inspecting the electrical controls and wiring, replace the
access panel. Start the unit, and observe at least one complete
heating cycle and one complete cooling cycle to ensure proper
operation. If discrepancies are observed in either or both operating
cycles, or if a suspected malfunction has occurred, check each
electrical component with the proper electrical instrumentation.
Refer to the unit wiring label when making these checkouts.
If oil is detected or if low cooling performance is suspected,
leak-test all refrigerant tubing using an electronic leak-detector,
halide torch, or liquid-soap solution. If a refrigerant leak is
detected, refer to the Check for Refrigerant Leaks section.
If no refrigerant leaks are found and low cooling performance is
suspected, refer to the Checking and Adjusting Refrigerant Charge
section.
GAS INPUT
The gas input does not require checking unless improper heating
performance is suspected. If a problem exists, refer to the Start-Up
section.
EVAPORATOR AIRFLOW
The heating and/or cooling airflow does not require checking
unless improper performance is suspected- lfa problem exists, be
sure that all supply- and return-air grilles are open and free from
obstructiomr, and that the air filter is clearL When necessary, refer
to the Indoor Airflow andAirflow Adjustments section to check the
system airflow.
METERING DEVICE -- ACUTROL DEVICE
This metering device is a fixed orifice and is located in the header
to the evaporator coil.
LIQUID LINE STRAINER
The liquid line strainer (to protect metering device) is made of wire
mesh and located ha the liquid line on the inlet side of the metering
device.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Use the Troubleshooting Guides (See Tables 16-18) if problems
occur with these units.
START-UP CHECKLIST
Use the Start-Up Checklist to ensure proper start-up procedures are
followed.
