1.2 FEATURES AND BENEFITS The PTAC has many features, some of which are different than those found on conventional PTAC units. The servicer must be familiar with these features in order to properly service the unit.
• Indoor Filters The unit uses two indoor filters which slide in and cut easily. The filters may be cleaned by washing and brushing without removing the front grille. • Rotary Compressor The unit uses a rotary compressor for quiet, reliable operation and long life. • 2 Position Discharge Grille The discharge grille can provide air flows upward at an angle of 40 off vertical or 15 degree off vertical.
1.3 ELECTRONIC CONTROLS The controls will look like one of the following. FAN SPEED • Every time you push this button, it cycles through the settings as follows: {High(F2) → Low(F1) → High(F2) → Low(F1)} E/SAVE 'F HEAT FAN HIGH COOL LOW POWER TEMP MODE FAN TIMER TIMER ON OFF • To turn the air conditioner ON, push this button. To turn the air conditioner OFF, push the button again. • This button takes priority over any other button.
• VENTILATION The ventilation lever is located to the lower left side of the unit. The ventilation lever must be in the CLOSE position in order to maintain the best cooling conditions. When fresh air is necessary in the room, set the ventilation lever to the OPEN position. The damper is opened and outdoor air is drawn into the room. This will reduce the cooling or heating efficiency.
1.4 ADDITIONAL CONTROLS • REMOVING THE FRONT GRILLE Additional controls are available after removing the front grille and option cover of control box. To remove the front grille, pull out the bottom of front grille and then lift up. To replace the front grille, place the tabs over the top of the unit and push the bottom of front grille until the clips snap into place. • ADDITIONAL CONTROLS The additional controls are located behind the option cover of control box.
• REMOTE/LOCAL CONTROL When remote/local switch #1 is on, it allow the unit to operate by the Remote Wall Thermostat. The unit control by knobs are not available. • ENERGY SAVER The energy saver switch #2 is on. This switch is set at cycle fan to provide continuous fan operation in cool or heat modes. When the switch is off the continuous fan allows continuous circulation of room air and make the more balanced temperature of the room.

Troubleshooting Guide 5.1 OUTSIDE DIMENSIONS 406mm (16") 1,066mm (42") 406mm (16") 505mm (20") 5.2 PIPING SYSTEM Following is a brief description of the important components and their functions in the refrigeration system. Refer to Figure 61 to follow the refrigeration cycle and the flow of the refrigerant in the cooling cycle.
5.3 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE In general, possible trouble is classified in two causes. The one is Starting Failure which is caused from an electrical defect, and the other is Ineffective Air Conditioning caused by a defect in the refrigeration circuit and improper application. Unit is running but cooling is ineffective Ineffective Cooling Check of cold air circulation for smooth flow. Check of outdoor coil (heat exchanger) & the fan operation. Dirty indoor coil (Heat exchanger) Check gas leakage.
Fails to Start Check power source. Check circuit breaker and fuse. Check control switch setting. Gas leakage of feeler bulb of thermostat Check control switch. Only compressor fails to start. Only fan fails to start. Improper wiring. Drop of power voltage. Improper thermostat setting Defect of fan motor capacitor. Defect of compressor capacitor. Loose terminal connection. Check capacitor. Irregular motor resistance ( ). Irregular motor insulation ( ). Improper wiring Replacement.
COMPLAINT Fan motor will not run. CAUSE REMEDY No power Check voltage at outlet. Correct if none. Power supply cord Check voltage to rotary switch. If none, check power supply cord. Replace cord if circuit is open. Rotary switch Check switch continuity. Refer to wiring diagram for terminal identification. Replace switch if defective. Wire disconnected or connection loose Connect wire. Refer to wiring diagram for terminal identification. Repair or replace loose terminal.
COMPLAINT Compressor will not run, but fan motor runs. CAUSE REMEDY Voltage Check voltage. See the limits on the preceding. page. If not within limits, call an electrician. Wiring Check the wire connections, if loose, repair or replace the terminal. If wires are off, refer to wiring diagram for identification, and replace. Check wire locations. If not per wiring diagram, correct. Rotary Check for continuity, refer to the wiring diagram for terminal identification.
COMPLAINT Compressor cycles on overload. Insufficient cooling or heating Excessive noise. REMEDY CAUSE Voltage Check the voltage. See the limits on the preceding page. If not within limits, call an electrician. Overload Check overload, if externally mounted. Replace if open. (If the compressor temperature is high, remove the overload, cool, and retest.) Fan motor If not running, determine the cause. Replace if required. Condenser air flow restriction Remove the cabinet.
