HANDLING OF REFRIGERANTS.
WARNING
S
YSTEM CONTAMINANTS, IMPROPER SERVICE PROCEDURE AND/OR PHYSICAL
ABUSE AFFECTING HERMETIC COMPRESSOR ELECTRICAL TERMINALS MAY
CAUSE DANGEROUS SYSTEM VENTING.
The successful development of hermetically sealed refrigeration compressors has completely sealed the compressor's moving parts and electric motor inside a common housing, minimizing refrigerant leaks and the hazards sometimes associated with moving belts, pulleys or couplings.
Fundamental to the design of hermetic compressors is a method whereby electrical current is transmitted to the compressor motor through terminal conductors which pass through the compressor housing wall. These terminals are sealed in a dielectric material which insulates them from the housing and maintains the pressure tight integrity of the hermetic compressor. The terminals and their dielectric embedment are strongly constructed, but are vulnerable to careless compressor installation or maintenance procedures and equally vulnerable to internal electrical short circuits caused by excessive system contaminants.
In either of these instances, an electrical short between the terminal and the compressor housing may result in the loss of integrity between the terminal and its dielectric embedment. This loss may cause the terminals to be expelled, thereby venting the vaporous and liquid contents of the compressor housing and system.
A venting compressor terminal normally presents no danger to anyone, providing the terminal protective cover is properly in place.
If, however, the terminal protective cover is not properly in place, a venting terminal may discharge a combination of
(a) hot lubricating oil and refrigerant
(b) flammable mixture (if system is contaminated with air) in a stream of spray which may be dangerous to anyone in the vicinity. Death or serious bodily injury could occur.
Under no circumstances is a hermetic compressor to be electrically energized and/or operated without having the terminal protective cover properly in place.
See Service Section S-17 for proper servicing.

PRODUCT DESIGN
This section gives a basic description of cooling unit operation, its various components and their basic operation.
Ensure your system is properly sized for heat gain and loss according to methods of the Air Conditioning Contractors
Association (ACCA) or equivalent.
The ZPS two-step modulated scroll uses a single step of unloading to go from full capacity to approximately 67% capacity.
A single speed, high efficiency motor continues to run while the scroll modulates between the two capacity steps.
CONDENSING UNIT
The condenser air is pulled through the condenser coil by a direct drive propeller fan. This condenser air is then discharged out of the top of the cabinet. These units are designed for free air discharge, so no additional resistance, like duct work, shall be attached.
The suction and liquid line connections on present models are of the sweat type for field piping with refrigerant type copper. Front seating valves are factory installed to accept the field run copper. The total refrigerant charge for a normal installation is factory installed in the condensing unit.
ASXC, ASZC, DSXC, DSZC models are available in 2 through 5 ton sizes and use R-410A refrigerant. They are designed for 208/230 volt single phase applications.
ASXC, ASZC, DSXC, DSZC R-410A model units use the
Copeland Scroll "Ultratech" Series compressors which are specifically designed for R-410A refrigerant. These units also have Copeland
®
ComfortAlert diagnostics. The Copeland
®
ComfortAlert diagnostics are integrated into the unitary (UC) control. These models are ComfortNet TM ready.
There are a number of design characteristics which are different from the traditional reciprocating and/or scroll compressors.
"Ultractech" Series scroll compressors will not have a discharge thermostat. Some of the early model scroll compressors required discharge thermostat.
"Ultratech" Series scroll compressors use "POE" or polyolester oil which is
NOT
compatible with mineral oil based lubricants like 3GS. "POE" oil must be used if additional oil is required.
The ASXC [16 & 18], ASZC [16 & 18], DSXC [16 & 18] and
DSZC [16 & 18] series split system units use a two-stage scroll compressor. The two-step modulator has an internal unloading mechanism that opens a bypass port in the first compression pocket, effectively reducing the displacement of the scroll. The opening and closing of the bypass port is controlled by an internal electrically operated solenoid.
FIGURE A
A scroll is an involute spiral which, when matched with a mating scroll form as shown, generates a series of crescent shaped gas pockets between the two members.
During compression, one scroll remains stationary (fixed scroll) while the other form (orbiting scroll) is allowed to orbit
(but not rotate) around the first form.
As this motion occurs, the pockets between the two forms are slowly pushed to the center of the two scrolls while simultaneously being reduced in volume. When the pocket reaches the center of the scroll form, the gas, which is now at a high pressure, is discharged out of a port located at the center.
During compression, several pockets are being compressed simultaneously, resulting in a very smooth process. Both the suction process (outer portion of the scroll members) and the discharge process (inner portion) are continuous.
Some design characteristics of the Compliant Scroll compressor are:
• Compliant Scroll compressors are more tolerant of liquid refrigerant.
NOTE
: Even though the compressor section of a Scroll compressor is more tolerant of liquid refrigerant, continued floodback or flooded start conditions may wash oil from the bearing surfaces causing premature bearing failure.
24
PRODUCT DESIGN
• Compliant scroll compressors perform "quiet" shutdowns that allow the compressor to restart immediately without the need for a time delay. This compressor will restart even if the system has not equalized.
NOTE:
Operating pressures and amp draws may differ from standard reciprocating compressors. This information can be found in the unit's Technical Information
Manual.
CAPACITY CONTROL - COMFORTNET
TM
MODELS
During the compression process, there are several pockets within the scroll that are compressing gas. Modulation is achieved by venting a portion of the gas in the first suction pocket back to the low side of the compressor thereby reducing the effective displacement of the compressor. See
Figure A.
Full capacity is achieved by blocking these vents, increasing the displacement to 100%. A solenoid in the compressor, controlled by an external 24-volt ac signal, moves the slider ring that covers and uncovers these vents.
The vent covers are arranged in such a manner that the compressor operates somewhere around 67% capacity when the solenoid is not energized and 100% capacity when the solenoid is energized. The loading and unloading of the two step scroll is done “on the fly” without shutting off the motor between steps. See Figure C below
.
The unloaded mode default was chosen for two reasons:

1. It is expected that the majority of run hours will be in the low capacity, unloaded mode.
2. It allows a simple two-stage thermostat to control capacity through the second stage in both cooling and possibly heating if desired.
UNLOADER SOLENOID
A nominal 24-volt direct current coil activates the internal unloader solenoid. The input control circuit voltage must be
18 to 28 volt ac. The coil power requirement is 20 VA. The external electrical connection is made with a molded plug assembly. This plug is connected to the Communicating
Unitary Control PCB (UC PCB) which contains a full wave rectifier to supply direct current to the unloader coil.
COILS AND BLOWER COILS
MBVC blower cabinets are designed to be used as a twopiece blower and coil combination and can be utilized with the
CAUF, CAPF and CAPT coils for upflow and downflow applications. The CACF and CHPF coils are designed for horizontal applications. This two-piece arrangement allows for a variety of mix-matching possibilities providing greater flexibility.
The MBVC blower cabinets use a variable speed motor that maintains a constant airflow with a higher duct static. MBVC blower cabinets are approved for applications with cooling coils of up to 0.8 inches W.C. external static pressure. The
MBVC models allow airflow trimming of +/-10%.
All units are constructed with R-4.2 insulation. In areas of extreme humidity (greater than 80% consistently), insulate the exterior of the blower with insulation having a vapor barrier equivalent to ductwork insulation, providing local codes permit.
AVPTC Multi-Position Air Handler
AVPTC is a multi-position, variable-speed air handler used with R-410A and are available in 2 to 5 ton sizes with optional
3 kW to 25kW electric heat kits available for field installation.
The AVPTC unit’s blower design includes a variable-speed
ECM motor and is compatible with heat pumps and variablecapacity cooling applications.
This appliance can be installed in the vertical or left horizontal position without modification. The horizontal right and downflow positions require product modification. This product is designed for zero inches (0 inches) clearance; however, adequate access for service or replacement must be considered without removing permanent structure. This unit can be installed on a platform when deemed necessary.
In an attic installation a secondary drain pan must be provided by the installer and placed under the entire unit with a separate drain line properly sloped and terminated in an area visible to the owner. This secondary drain pan is required in the event that there is a leak or main drain blockage. Closed cell insulation should be applied to the drain lines in unconditioned spaces where sweating may occur.
NOTE:
AVPTC air handlers are factory-sealed to achieve a
2% or less leakage rate at 1.0" water gauge external duct static pressure.
25
PRODUCT DESIGN
Communicating Unitary Control (UC) PCB
The Communicating System Unitary Control PCB is a microprocessor-based control for heat pump and air conditioning condensing units with single-phase compressors up to 5 ton capacity operating on standard residential or Delta and Wye commercial power. The control incorporates the basic functionality of existing defrost controls, outdoor thermostats, contactors, compressor staging controls, short cycle controls, line voltage monitors, Comfort Alert™ or CoreSense
Module (dependent upon which module you are using), two speed condenser fan relays and the Active Protection component of enabled thermostats. The control is designed to work as part of a fully communicating HVAC system with 4 wires. The control also supports legacy 24VAC thermostat inputs for Y1, Y2, O and 24VAC outputs for RVS, W1, and L for non-communicating systems. Outputs include compressor power, compressor stage select, and outdoor fan high and outdoor fan low speed. System inputs include high/low pressure switches, as well as thermistor inputs for outdoor coil temperature and outdoor air temperature.
26
SYSTEM OPERATION
COOLING
The refrigerant used in the system is R-410A. It is a clear, colorless, non-toxic and non-irritating liquid. R-410A is a
50:50 blend of R-32 and R-125. The boiling point at atmospheric pressure is
-62.9°F.
A few of the important principles that make the refrigeration cycle possible are: heat always flows from a warmer to a cooler body. Under lower pressure, a refrigerant will absorb heat and vaporize at a low temperature. The vapors may be drawn off and condensed at a higher pressure and temperature to be used again.
The indoor evaporator coil functions to cool and dehumidify the air conditioned spaces through the evaporative process taking place within the coil tubes.
NOTE:
The pressures and temperatures shown in the refrigerant cycle illustrations on the following pages are for demonstration purposes only. Actual temperatures and pressures are to be obtained from the "Expanded Performance
Chart".
Liquid refrigerant at condensing pressure and temperatures,
(270 psig and 122°F), leaves the outdoor condensing coil through the drier and is metered into the indoor coil through the metering device. As the cool, low pressure, saturated refrigerant enters the tubes of the indoor coil, a portion of the liquid immediately vaporizes. It continues to soak up heat and vaporizes as it proceeds through the coil, cooling the indoor coil down to about 48°F.
Heat is continually being transferred to the cool fins and tubes of the indoor evaporator coil by the warm system air. This warming process causes the refrigerant to boil. The heat removed from the air is carried off by the vapor.
As the vapor passes through the last tubes of the coil, it becomes superheated. That is, it absorbs more heat than is necessary to vaporize it. This is assurance that only dry gas will reach the compressor. Liquid reaching the compressor can weaken or break compressor valves.
The compressor increases the pressure of the gas, thus adding more heat, and discharges hot, high pressure superheated gas into the outdoor condenser coil.
In the condenser coil, the hot refrigerant gas, being warmer than the outdoor air, first loses its superheat by heat transferred from the gas through the tubes and fins of the coil. The refrigerant now becomes saturated, part liquid, part vapor and then continues to give up heat until it condenses to a liquid alone. Once the vapor is fully liquefied, it continues to give up heat which subcools the liquid, and it is ready to repeat the cycle.
HEATING
The heating portion of the refrigeration cycle is similar to the cooling cycle. By energizing the reversing valve solenoid coil, the flow of the refrigerant is reversed. The indoor coil now becomes the condenser coil, and the outdoor coil becomes the evaporator coil.
The check valve at the indoor coil will open by the flow of refrigerant letting the now condensed liquid refrigerant bypass the indoor expansion device. The check valve at the outdoor coil will be forced closed by the refrigerant flow, thereby utilizing the outdoor expansion device.
COOLING CYCLE
For communicating room thermostat: When the room thermostat calls for either low stage cool or high stage cool, appropriate commands are sent via the data 1 and data 2 lines to the outdoor unit's UC control. The UC control energizes the on-board compressor relay and the on-board outdoor fan relay. The compressor high stage solenoid is energized if it is a high stage call.
The UC control sends a fan command to the indoor unit (air handler or furnace). The indoor unit operates the indoor blower at the appropriate airflow level. The system operates at the cooling level demanded by the thermostat.
When the thermostat is satisfied, appropriate commands are sent to the UC control. The compressor relay and outdoor fan relay is de-energized. The compressor high stage solenoid is de-energized if it was energized. The UC control sends an appropriate command to the indoor unit to deenergize the indoor blower motor.
If room thermostat fan status is set to be “on”, then indoor blower would run continuously rather than cycling with the compressor.
For heat pumps, the reversing valve is energized during the cooling cycle. The call for cooling from the communicating thermostat indicates to the control that the reversing valve is to be energized during cooling operation.
HEATING CYCLE
For communicating room thermostat: When the room thermostat calls for either low stage heat or high stage heat, appropriate commands are sent via the data 1 and data 2 lines to the outdoor unit's UC control. The UC control energizes the on-board compressor relay and the on-board outdoor fan relay. The compressor high stage solenoid is energized if it is a high stage call. The UC control sends a fan command to the indoor unit (air handler or furnace). The indoor unit operates the indoor blower at the appropriate airflow level.
The system operates at the cooling level demanded by the thermostat.
When the thermostat is satisfied, appropriate commands are sent to the UC control. The compressor relay and outdoor fan relay is de-energized. The compressor high stage solenoid is de-energized if it was energized. The UC control sends an appropriate command to the indoor unit to deenergize the indoor blower motor.
27
SYSTEM OPERATION
DEFROST CYCLE - COMFORTNET TM MODELS
The defrosting of the outdoor coil is jointly controlled by the
UC PCB and the outdoor coil temperature (OCT) sensor.
The OCT sensor is clamped to a feeder tube entering the outdoor coil. Defrost timing periods of 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes may be selected via the dipswitch settings on the UC
PCB. In a communicating system, the defrost timing periods can also be selected in the communicating thermostat user menu. During operation, if the coil temperature is low enough
(approximately 31° F), the microprocessor will accumulate the compressor run time. When the total compressor run time reaches 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes, and there is a call for heat, the PCB will initiate a defrost cycle. When the microprocessor detects the coil temperature to be high enough (approximately 75 0 F), or 10 minutes of maximum defrost cycle time has elapsed, whichever occurs first, the defrost cycle is terminated and the timing period is reset. The field service personnel can also advance a heat pump to the defrost cycle by simultaneously pressing the “TEST” button and the “RECALL” button on the UC board.
Use the dipswitches to select defrost time interval (30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes) See chart below

2. Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage across terminals
L1 and L2 of the contactor for the condensing unit or at the field connections for the air handler or heaters.
ComfortNet TM Ready Condensing Units:
Measure the voltage across the L1 and L2 lugs on the unitary (UC) control.
3. No reading - indicates open wiring, open fuse(s) no power or etc., from unit to fused disconnect service. Repair as needed.
4. With ample voltage at line voltage connectors, energize the unit.
5. Measure the voltage with the unit starting and operating, and determine the unit Locked Rotor Voltage.
NOTE
: If checking heaters, be sure all heating elements are energized.
Locked Rotor Voltage
is the actual voltage available at the compressor during starting, locked rotor, or a stalled condition. Measured voltage should be above minimum listed in chart below.
To measure Locked Rotor Voltage attach a voltmeter to the run "R" and common "C" terminals of the compressor, or to the T

COMFORTNET™ SYSTEM
The ComfortNet system (or CT system) is a system that includes a ComfortNet compatible air handler/furnace/modular blower and air conditioner or heat pump with a CTK0* thermostat. Any other system configurations are considered invalid ComfortNet systems and must be connected as a tradition (or legacy) system. The table below compares the valid CT systems.

Full CT system benefits & features
A ComfortNet heating/air conditioning system differs from a legacy/traditional system in the manner in which the indoor unit, outdoor unit and thermostat interact with one another. In a traditional system, the thermostat sends commands to the indoor and outdoor units via analog 24 VAC signals. It is a one-way communication path in that the indoor and outdoor units typically do not return information to the thermostat.
On the other hand, the indoor unit, outdoor unit, and thermostat comprising a ComfortNet system “communicate” digitally with one another. It is now a two-way communications path. The thermostat still sends commands to the indoor and outdoor units. However, the thermostat may also request and receive information from both the indoor and outdoor units.
This information may be displayed on the CT thermostat. The indoor and outdoor units also interact with one another. The outdoor unit may send commands to or request information from the indoor unit. This two-way digital communications
33
SERVICING
between the thermostat and subsystems (indoor/outdoor unit) and between subsystems is the key to unlocking the benefits and features of the ComfortNet system.
Two-way digital communications is accomplished using only two wires. The thermostat and subsystem controls are powered with 24 VAC Thus, a maximum of 4 wires between the equipment and thermostat is all that is required to operate the system.

AIRFLOW CONSIDERATIONS
Airflow demands are managed differently in a fully communicating system than they are in a legacy wired system. The system operating mode (as determined by the thermostat) determines which unit calculates the system airflow demand.
If the indoor unit is responsible for determining the airflow demand, it calculates the demand and sends it to the ECM motor. If the outdoor unit or thermostat is responsible for determining the demand, it calculates the demand and transmits the demand along with a fan request to the indoor unit. The indoor unit then sends the demand to the ECM motor. The following table lists the various ComfortNet™ systems, the operating mode, and airflow demand source.
For example, assume the system is an air conditioner matched with an air handler. With a call for low stage cooling, the air conditioner will calculate the system’s low stage cooling airflow demand. The air conditioner will then send a fan request along with the low stage cooling airflow demand to the air handler. Once received, the air handler will send the low stage cooling airflow demand to the ECM motor. The
ECM motor then delivers the low stage cooling airflow. The table below lists the nominal high and low stage airflow for the
ComfortNet air conditioners and heat pumps.

CTK0* WIRING
A removable plug connector is provided with the control to make thermostat wire connections. This plug may be removed, wire connections made to the plug, and replaced. It is strongly recommended that multiple wires into a single terminal be twisted together prior to inserting into the plug connector. Failure to do so may result in intermittent operation. Typical 18 AWG thermostat wire may be used to wire the system components. However, communications reliability may be improved by using a high quality, shielded, twisted pair cable for the data transmission lines. In either case, 100 feet is the maximum length of wire between indoor unit and outdoor unit, or between indoor unit and thermostat.

WARNING
Line Voltage now present.
mately 50 PSIG for heat pumps and 95 PSIG for air conditioners.
Test for continuity using a VOM and if not as above, replace the control.
HIGH VOLTAGE!
Disconnect ALL power before servicing or installing. Multiple power sources may be present. Failure to do so may cause property damage, personal injury or death.
S-14 CHECKING HIGH AND LOW PRESSURE
SWITCH VOLTAGE
The HPC and LPC are wired in series so output at both switches should be the same when switches are closed voltage reading should be 6.5vdc or 8.0vac.
NOTE:
the
Discharge Thermostat is wired in series with the HPC if DT is open you will read input voltage on the HPC and no voltage on the output of HPC or LPC.
The high pressure control capillary senses the pressure in the compressor discharge line. If abnormally high condensing pressures develop, the contacts of the control open, breaking the control circuit before the compressor motor overloads. This control is automatically reset.
1. Using an ohmmeter, check across terminals of high pressure control, with wire removed. If not continuous, the contacts are open.
2. Attach a gauge to the dill valve port on the base valve.
With power ON:
3. Start the system and place a piece of cardboard in front of the condenser coil, raising the condensing pressure.
4. Check pressure at which the high pressure control cutsout. If it cuts-out at 610 PSIG ± 10 PSIG, it is operating normally (See causes for high head pressure in Service
Problem Analysis Guide). If it cuts out below this pressure range, replace the control.
S-15 CHECKING CAPACITOR
CAPACITOR, RUN
A run capacitor is wired across the auxiliary and main windings of a single phase permanent split capacitor motor.
The capacitors primary function is to reduce the line current while greatly improving the torque characteristics of a motor.
This is accomplished by using the 90° phase relationship between the capacitor current and voltage in conjunction with the motor windings, so that the motor will give two phase operation when connected to a single phase circuit. The capacitor also reduces the line current to the motor by improving the power factor.
The line side of this capacitor is marked with "COM" and is wired to the line side of the circuit.
S-15A RESISTANCE CHECK USING A DIGITAL

HIGH VOLTAGE!
Disconnect ALL power before servicing or installing. Multiple power sources may be present. Failure to do so may cause property damage, personal injury or death.
S-13 CHECKING LOW PRESSURE CONTROL
The low pressure control senses the pressure in the suction line and will open its contacts on a drop in pressure. The low pressure control will automatically reset itself with a rise in pressure.
The low pressure control is designed to cut-out (open) at approximately 21 PSIG for heat pumps and 55 PSIG for air conditioners. It will automatically cut-in (close) at approxi-
Check for Digital Test
1. Set the meter on Ohm range (Set it at lease 1000 Ohm
=1k).
WARNING
Discharge capacitor through a 20 to 30 OHM resistor before handling.
2. Connect the Meter leads to the Capacitor terminals.
3. Digital meter will show a reading momentarily (Figure 1).
Note the reading.
61
SERVICING
4. If the reading is near to the actual value of the capacitor
(i.e. the printed value on the capacitor). The capacitor is good. (Note that the reading may be less than the actual printed value of the capacitor).
5. If you read a significantly lower capacitance or none at all, then capacitor is dead and must be replaced.
Figure 1 Figure 2
4. Reading will immediately return to the OL = (Open Line)
(Figure 2). Every attempt of Step 2 will show the same result as was in step 4 and Step 5. This indicates that the capacitor is good.
5. If there is no Change, then capacitor is dead and must be replaced.
Check for Analog Meter
A. Good Condition - indicator swings to zero and slowly returns to infinity. (Start capacitor with bleed resistor will not return to infinity. It will still read the resistance of the resistor).
B. Shorted - indicator swings to zero and stops there replace.
C. Open - no reading - replace. (Start capacitor would read resistor resistance.)
S-15B CAPACITANCE CHECK USING A DIGI-
TAL MULTI-METER (IN CAPACITANCE
MODE)
WARNING
Discharge capacitor through a 20 to 30 OHM resistor before handling.
NOTE
:
You can do this test with a multi-meter if you have a Capacitance meter on your multi-meter.
1. Remove the capacitor from the circuit.
2. Now Select "Capacitance" on your multi-meter.
3. Now connect the capacitor terminals to the multi-meter leads.
S-16G CHECKING EMERSON ULTRATECH

ECM MOTORS
DESCRIPTION
The AVPTC and MBVC models utilize an Emerson, 4-wire variable speed ECM blower motor. The ECM blower motor provides constant CFM.
The motor is a serially communicating variable speed motor.
Only four wires are required to control the motor: +Vdc,
Common, Receive, and Transmit.
The +Vdc and Common wires provide power to the motor's low voltage control circuits. Typical supply voltage is 9-15 volts DC.
GENERAL CHECKS/CONSIDERATIONS
1. Check power supply to the air handler or modular blower.
Ensure power supply is within the range specified on rating plate. See section S-1.
2. Check motor power harness. Ensure wires are continuous and make good contact when seated in the connectors. Repair or replace as needed.
3. Check motor control harness. Ensure wires are continuous and make good contact when seated in the connectors. Repair or replace as needed.
4. Check thermostat and thermostat wiring. Ensure thermostat is providing proper cooling/heating/continuous fan demands. Repair or replace as needed.
5. Check blower wheel. Confirm wheel is properly seated on motor shaft. Set screw must be on shaft flat and torqued to 165 in-lbs minimum. Confirm wheel has no broken or loose blades. Repair or replace as needed.
6. Ensure motor and wheel turn freely. Check for interference between wheel and housing or wheel and motor.
Repair or replace as needed.
7. Check housing for cracks and/or corrosion. Repair or replace as needed.

S-16H ECM CFM ADJUSTMENTS AVPTC/MBVC
This section references the operation characteristics of the
AVPTC/MBVC models. The MBVC models utilize an integrated air handler control. The air handler control provides ECM blower motor control and includes all dipswitches necessary to set up the cooling, heat pump and electric airflow characteristics.
The control has three banks of dipswitches: a bank for cooling airflow and trim adjustment, a bank for selecting one of (4) enhancement profiles and enabling dehumidification, and a bank for selecting the installed electric heater kit size.
Adjustments are made by selecting the appropriate ON/
OFF combinations of the dipswitches. The dipswitches along with their functions are shown in the figures below.
Cooling Airflow Dipswitches
- Used to set the desired cooling airflow
Cooling Airflow Ramping Profiles (* indicates factory setting)

S-17 CHECKING COMPRESSOR
WARNING
Hermetic compressor electrical terminal venting can be dangerous. When insulating material which supports a hermetic compressor or electrical terminal suddenly disintegrates due to physical abuse or as a result of an electrical short between the terminal and the compressor housing, the terminal may be expelled, venting the vapor and liquid contents of the compressor housing and system.
If the compressor terminal PROTECTIVE COVER and gasket (if required) are not properly in place and secured, there is a remote possibility if a terminal vents, that the vaporous and liquid discharge can be ignited, spouting flames several feet, causing potentially severe or fatal injury to anyone in its path.
This discharge can be ignited external to the compressor if the terminal cover is not properly in place and if the discharge impinges on a sufficient heat source.
Ignition of the discharge can also occur at the venting terminal or inside the compressor, if there is sufficient contaminant air present in the system and an electrical arc occurs as the terminal vents.
Ignition cannot occur at the venting terminal without the presence of contaminant air, and cannot occur externally from the venting terminal without the presence of an external ignition source.
Therefore, proper evacuation of a hermetic system is essential at the time of manufacture and during servicing.
To reduce the possibility of external ignition, all open flame, electrical power, and other heat sources should be extinguished or turned off prior to servicing a system.
If the following test indicates shorted, grounded or open windings, see procedures S-19 for the next steps to be taken.
S-17A RESISTANCE TEST
Each compressor is equipped with an internal overload.
The line break internal overload senses both motor amperage and winding temperature. High motor temperature or amperage heats the disc causing it to open, breaking the common circuit within the compressor on single phase units.
Heat generated within the compressor shell, usually due to recycling of the motor, high amperage or insufficient gas to cool the motor, is slow to dissipate. Allow at least three to four hours for it to cool and reset, then retest.
Fuse, circuit breaker, ground fault protective device, etc.
has not tripped -
HIGH VOLTAGE!
Disconnect ALL power before servicing or installing. Multiple power sources may be present. Failure to do so may cause property damage, personal injury or death.
1. Remove the leads from the compressor terminals.
See warnings S-17 before removing compressor terminal cover.
2. Using an ohmmeter, test continuity between terminals
S-R, C-R, and C-S, on single phase units.
C
OHMMETER
S
R
COMP
TESTING COMPRESSOR WINDINGS
If either winding does not test continuous, replace the compressor.
NOTE:
If an open compressor is indicated, allow ample time for the internal overload to reset before replacing compressor.
S-17B GROUND TEST
If fuse, circuit breaker, ground fault protective device, etc., has tripped, this is a strong indication that an electrical problem exists and must be found and corrected. The circuit protective device rating must be checked, and its maximum rating should coincide with that marked on the equipment nameplate.
With the terminal protective cover in place, it is acceptable to replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker ONE TIME
ONLY to see if it was just a nuisance opening. If it opens again, DO NOT continue to reset.
A Meghometer should not be used to determine good or bad compressors. There is not an industry recognized specification for mega ohm values for small tonnage compressors.
Scroll compressors can have the motor winding end-turns in the oil, which can produce a lower resistance reading to ground. The insulation type is the same for scroll and reciprocating compressors.
Disconnect all power to unit
, making sure that
all
power legs are open.
73
SERVICING
1. DO NOT remove protective terminal cover. Disconnect the three leads going to the compressor terminals at the nearest point to the compressor.
2. Identify the leads and using an ohmmeter on the R x
10,000 scale or the highest resistance scale on your ohmmeter check the resistance between each of the three leads separately to ground (such as an unpainted tube on the compressor).
3. If a ground is indicated, then carefully remove the compressor terminal protective cover and inspect for loose leads or insulation breaks in the lead wires.
4. If no visual problems indicated, carefully remove the leads at the compressor terminals.
5. Carefully retest for ground, directly between compressor terminals and ground.
6. If ground is indicated, replace the compressor. The resistance reading should be infinity. If there is any reading on meter, there is some continuity to ground and compressor should be considered defective.
UNLOADER SOLENOID

OHMMETER
WARNING
Damage can occur to the glass embedded terminals if the leads are not properly removed. This can result in terminal and hot oil discharging.
S-17C UNLOADER TEST PROCEDURE
Unloader Test Procedure with Comfort Alert™-Unitary
(UC) Control Diagnostics
If you suspected that the unloader is not working, the following methods may be used to verify operation.
1. Operate the system and measure compressor amperage. Cycle the unloader on and off at ten second intervals by appling and removing Y2 voltage to the module. Wait five seconds after power is applied to Y2 before taking a reading. An increase in compressor amperage should be observed when switching from partload to full-load and a reduction in compressor amperage should be observed when changing from full-load to partload. The percent change in current depends on the operating conditions and voltage.
2. If Step 1 does not give the expected results remove the solenoid plug from the compressor and with the unit running and the thermostat calling for Y2 to be energized test the voltage output at the plug with a dc voltmeter.
The reading should be 4 to 18 VDC for Comfort Alert. If not, unplug the harness from the module and check voltage at the "High" pins of the module. The module will not power the unloader solenoid if the compressor is not running.
3. If the correct DC voltage is at the control circuit molded plug measure the unloader coil resistance. Shut off power and remove the control circuit molded plug from the compressor and measure te unloader solenoid coil resistance. If the coil resistance is infinite, zero, or grounded, the compressor must be replaced.
S-17D OPERATION TEST
If the voltage, capacitor, overload and motor winding test fail to show the cause for failure:
HIGH VOLTAGE!
Disconnect ALL power before servicing or installing. Multiple power sources may be present. Failure to do so may cause property damage, personal injury or death.
74
SERVICING
1. Remove unit wiring from disconnect switch and wire a test cord to the disconnect switch.
NOTE:
The wire size of the test cord must equal the line wire size and the fuse must be of the proper size and type.
2. With the protective terminal cover in place, use the three leads to the compressor terminals that were disconnected at the nearest point to the compressor and connect the common, start and run clips to the respective leads.
3. Connect good capacitors of the right MFD and voltage rating into the circuit as shown.
4. With power ON, close the switch.

S-18 TESTING CRANKCASE HEATER (OP-
TIONAL ITEM)
The crankcase heater must be energized a minimum of four
(4) hours before the condensing unit is operated.
Crankcase heaters are used to prevent migration or accumulation of refrigerant in the compressor crankcase during the off cycles and prevents liquid slugging or oil pumping on start up.
A crankcase heater will not prevent compressor damage due to a floodback or over charge condition.
WARNING
Disconnect ALL power before servicing.
1. Disconnect the heater lead in wires.
2. Using an ohmmeter, check heater continuity - should test continuous. If not, replace.
NOTE:
The positive temperature coefficient crankcase heater is a 40 watt 265 voltage heater. The cool resistance of the heater will be approximately 1800 ohms. The resistance will become greater as the temperature of the compressor shell increases.
S-21 CHECKING REVERSING VALVE AND
SOLENOID
Occasionally the reversing valve may stick in the heating or cooling position or in the mid-position.
When stuck in the mid-position, part of the discharge gas from the compressor is directed back to the suction side, resulting in excessively high suction pressure. An increase in the suction line temperature through the reversing valve can also be measured. Check operation of the valve by starting the system and switching the operation from COOL-
ING to HEATING cycle.
If the valve fails to change its position, test the voltage (24V) at the valve coil terminals, while the system is on the
COOLING cycle.
All heat pumps and ComfortNet TM heat pumps wired in legacy
- If no voltage is registered at the coil terminals, check the operation of the thermostat and the continuity of the connecting wiring from the "O" terminal of the thermostat to the unit.
ComfortNet heat pumps only
-
Check voltage (24VAC) at the non-insulated terminal E22 on the UC control board
(RVS on silkscreen) and "C" terminal on the 7-pin or 4-pin connector on the UC control
If voltage is registered at the coil, tap the valve body lightly while switching the system from HEATING to COOLING, etc. If this fails to cause the valve to switch positions, remove the coil connector cap and test the continuity of the reversing valve solenoid coil. If the coil does not test continuous replace it.
If the coil test continuous and 24 volts is present at the coil terminals, the valve is inoperative - replace it.

S-26 TESTING TEMPERATURE SENSORS
(COMFORTNET READY MODELS ONLY)
The ASXC and DSXC ComfortNet ready air conditioner models are factory equipped with an outdoor air temperature (OAT) sensor. The OAT sensor allows the outdoor air temperature to be displayed on the CTK0* thermostat when used with the ASXC and DSXC models.
The ASZC and DSZC ComfortNet ready heat pump models are equipped with both an outdoor air temperature (OAT) sensor and an outdoor coil temperature (OCT) sensor. The
OAT provides the balance point temperature in heat pump systems (air handler w/electric heat + heat pump) and dual fuel systems. The OCT sensor is provides the outdoor coil temperature and is used in determining defrost cycles.
To check either the outdoor air or outdoor coil temperature sensors:
HIGH VOLTAGE!
Disconnect ALL power before servicing or installing. Multiple power sources may be present. Failure to do so may cause property damage, personal injury or death.
Features
The new air handler control includes advanced diagnostic features with fault recall, estimated CFM display via onboard LED, and ComfortNet TM ready. Diagnostics includes heater kit selection diagnostics, open fuse, internal control fault, data errors, and blower motor faults. Data errors are not included in the fault recall list. Diagnostic error codes are displayed on a single red LED.
The estimated CFM is displayed as a flashing green LED.
The LED flashes once for each 100 CFM.
The AVPTC/MBVC air handlers may be used in a fully communicating ComfortNet system when matched with a compatiable outdoor unit and the CTK0* thermostat. A fully communicating system offers advanced setup and diagnostic features.
Basic Operation
The air handler control receives thermostat inputs either from a standard 24VAC thermostat or the CTK0* ComfortNet thermostat. For cooling and heat pump operation, the control operates the variable speed blower motor at the demand as determined from the thermostat input(s). If a demand for electric heat is received, the control will provide a 24VAC output for up to two electric heat sequencers.

Data Line Voltage Troubleshooting and Bias
Switches
Proper data voltage is essential to robust and reliable communication on the ComfortNet™ system. Any wiring issues must be corrected for good communication.
•
Poor wiring connections at the terminal blocks
•
Low voltage wires that are shorted, grounded or broken.
•
Communicating wires that are not connected to the proper terminals at the connector.
•
24 volt common outside and inside are not at the same ground potential
•
Bias dip switch setting conflicts between indoor board and outdoor board.
•
It is
STRONGLY
recommended that you do not connect multiple wires into a single terminal on the wiring connector
•
Wire nuts are recommended to connect multiple wires to connector ensuring one wire is used for each terminal.
•
Failure to do so may result in intermittent operation.
•
Typical 18 AWG thermostat wire may be used to wire the system components. One hundred feet is the maximum length of wire between indoor and outdoor units or between indoor unit and thermostat.
•
When outdoor transformer is used and there at least three thermostat wires running to the outdoor unit use one of the extra wires to connect the two 24 volt commons together. This will ensure both 24 volt commons are at the same ground potential.
•
When outdoor transformer is used and there are only two thermostat wires running to the outdoor unit ground the 24 volt common “C” of the outdoor transformer to a chassis ground (earth0 ground. This is not as good as the third wire but it is better than leaving the outdoor 24 volt common floating.
If this does not resolve communication issues Bias switch issues will need to be checked
.
Note:
Only one unit should control bias on the system.
•
Air Handler or Furnace should never have their bias switches moved.
•
Indoor bias switches are always in the
“ON”
position
•
A/C and Heat Pump bias switches can be moved.
•
Thermostats do not have bias switches.
•
It may be necessary to move bias switches on the outdoor unit to achieve proper bias. If the switches need to be moved both switches must be moved.
Checking Bias Voltage:
Remove communicating wires from outdoor board and thermostat and check voltage at the indoor board.
1.
DC voltage from C to data 1 should read approximately 1.9vdc or 2.8vdc for some furnaces. (Figure 1)
2.
DC voltage from C to data 2 should read approximately 1.3vdc. or 2.2vdc for some furnaces . (Figure

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
AVPTC/MBVC with ASXC/DSXC Condenser and CTK0*
Communicating Themostat
The AVPTC or MBVC air handle/modular blower matched with an ASXC or DSXC condensing unit and CTK0* communicating thermostat constitute a network. The three components, or subsystems, making up the system communicate with one another with information passed between all three components. This leads to a somewhat non-traditional manner in which the system components receive commands for system operation. All system commands are routed from the component through the network to the appropriate destination component.
NOTE:
The individual subsystems will cease operation if the request for operation is NOT refreshed after 5 minutes. This is a built-in safe guard to prevent the possibility of runaway operation.
1.0 Cooling Operation - Low and High Stage Cool
1.1 The CTK0* thermostat sends a request for low stage cooling through the network to the unitary (UC) control in the condenser. The UC control receives the command and processes any compressor and fan delays.
1.2 The UC control sends a request for low stage fan speed to the air handler/modular blower. The blower energizes the ECM blower motor at the appropriate speed.
1.3 The condenser energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor at the appropriate low stage speeds.
1.4 The system operates at low stage cooling.
1.5 If the thermostat demand cannot be met on low stage cooling, the CTK0* thermostat sends a request for high stage cooling to the condenser. The condenser in turn sends a request for high stage fan speed to the air handler/modular blower. The blower increases the blower speed to the high stage cooling speed.
1.6 The condenser's unitary control energizes the high stage compressor solenoid and switches the condenser fan motor to high speed.
1.7 The system operates at high stage cooling.
1.8 Once the thermostat demand is satisfied, the CTK0* thermostat commands the UC control to end cooling operation. The condenser de-energizes the compressorand condenser fan motor. The UC control continues providing a fan request until any cooling blower
OFF delays have expired.
2.0 Heating Operation - Auxiliary/Emergency Heat
2.1 The CTK0* thermostat sends a request for emergency heat to the air handler/modular blower.
2.2 The air handler control energizes the ECM blower motor at the emergency heat speed. The electric heat sequencer outputs are also energized, thus energizing the electric heaters.
2.3 The system operates at emergency heat.
2.4 Once the thermostat demand is satisfied, the CTK0* thermostat commands the air handler/modular blower to end emergency heat operation. The air handler control de-energizes the electric heat sequencer outputs. The
ECM blower motor remains energized until any blower
OFF delay timing has expired.
3.0 Continuous Fan Operation
3.1 With a demand for continuous fan operation, the CTK0* thermostat sends a fan request to the integrated air
78
SERVICING
handler control along with a fan demand. The control energizes the variavble speed ECM motor at fan demand provided by the thermostat. The fan demand provided by the thermostat will be 30%, 50%,or 70% of the air handler's maximum airflow capability. The continuous fan demand is set from the thermostat as low, medium, or high.
3.2 If the thermostat demand for continuous fan is removed, the CTK0* thermostat commands the integrated air handler control to end continuous fan operation. The integrated AH control immediately de-energizes the
ECM blower motor.
AVPTC/MBVC with ASZC/DSZC Heat Pump and CTK0*
Communicating Themostat
The AVPTC or MBVC air handle/modular blower matched with an ASZC or DSZC condensing unit and CTK0* communicating thermostat constitute a network. The three components, or subsystems, making up the system communicate with one another with information passed between all three components. This leads to a somewhat non-traditional manner in which the system components receive commands for system operation. All system commands are routed from the component through the network to the appropriate destination component.
NOTE:
Communicating heat pump systems are designed to utilize a balance point temperature. The balance point temperature in part controls heat pump operation. If the outdoor temperature is below the balance point, the heat pump is disable and only electric heat is available for heating.
The balance point temperature is set via the CTK0* thermostat in the advanced installer's configuration menu.
The CTK0* thermostat also allows the user to disable the electric heaters in the air handler/modular blower depending on the outdoor temperature. The electric heaters are disabled
If the outdoor temperature is above the set point. All heating is supplied by the heat pump.
The outdoor air temperature is aquired from the outdoor air temperature (OAT) sensor included with the ASZC/DSZC heat pump models. Faults with the sensor will affect heating operation.
NOTE:
The individual subsystems will cease operation if the request for operation is NOT refreshed after 5 minutes. This is a built-in safe guard to prevent the possibility of runaway operation.
1.0 Cooling Operation - Low and High Stage Cool
1.1 The CTK0* thermostat sends a request for low stage cooling through the network to the unitary (UC) control in the heat pump. The UC control receives the command and processes any compressor and fan delays.
1.2 The UC control sends a request for low stage fan speed to the air handler/modular blower. The blower energizes the ECM blower motor at the appropriate speed.
1.3 The heat pump energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor at the appropriate low stage speeds. The reversing valve is also energized.
1.4 The system operates at low stage cooling.
1.5 If the thermostat demand cannot be met on low stage cooling, the CTK0* thermostat sends a request for high stage cooling to the heat pump. The heat pump in turn sends a request for high stage fan speed to the air handler/modular blower. The AH control increases the blower speed to the high stage cooling speed.
1.6 The heat pump's unitary control energizes the high stage compressor solenoid and switches the condenser fan motor to high speed. The reversing valve remains energized.
1.7 The system operates at high stage cooling.
1.8 Once the thermostat demand is satisfied, the CTK0* thermostat commands the UC control to end cooling operation. The heat pump de-energizes the compressor, condenser fan motor, and reversing valve. The UC control continues providing a fan request until any cooling blower
OFF delays have expired.
2.0 Heating Operation
Outdoor Temperature Above the Heat Pump Balance
Point
2.1 The CTK0* thermostat sends a request for the outdoor air temperature to the heat pump. The heat pump returns an outdoor air temperature that is above the balance point temperature. Heat pump heating is enabled.
2.2 The CTK0* thermostat sends a request for low stage heat pump heating to the unitary (UC) control in the heat pump. The UC control receives the command and processes any compressor and fan delays.
2.3 The UC control sends a request for low stage fan speed to the air handler/modular blower. The blower energizes the ECM blower motor at the appropriate speed.
2.4 The condenser energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor at the appropriate low stage speeds.
2.5 The system operates at low stage heat pump heating.
2.6 If the thermostat demand cannot be met on low stage heat pump heating, the CTK0* thermostat sends a request for high stage heat pump heating to the heat pump. The heat pump in turn sends a request for high stage fan speed to the air handler/modular blower. The
AH control increases the blower speed to the high stage heat pump heating speed.
2.7 The heat pump's unitary control energizes the high stage compressor solenoid and switches the condenser fan motor to high speed.
2.8 The system operates at high stage heat pump heating.
2.9 If the thermostat demand cannot be met on high stage heat pump heating, the CTK0* thermostat sends a request for auxiliary heat to the air handler/modular blower.
2.10 Upon receiving a demand for auxiliary heat, the air handler control determines the appropriate airflow for high stage heat pump + auxiliary heat operation and operates the ECM blower motor at that airflow demand.

SERVICING
The air handler control determines which airflow demand is greatest and applies that demand when operating the
ECM blower motor.
2.11 The system operates at high stage heat pump heating plus auxiliary heat.
2.12 Once the thermostat demand is satisfied, the CTK0* thermostat commands the heat pump to end heat pump heating operation. The compressor and outdoor fan motor are de-energized.
The air handler/modular blower is commanded to end auxiliary heat operation. The air handler control deenergizes the electric heat sequencer outputs. The ECM blower motor remains energized until any blower OFF delay timing has expired.
Outdoor Temperature Below the Heat Pump Balance
Point
2.1 The CTK0*** thermostat sends a request for the outdoor air temperature to the heat pump. The heat pump returns an outdoor air temperature that is below the balance point temperature. Heat pump heating is disabled.
2.2 The CTK0*** thermostat sends a request for auxiliary heat to the air handler/modular blower.
2.2 The air handler control energizes the ECM blower motor at the auxiliary heat speed. The electric heat sequencer outputs are also energized, thus energizing the electric heaters.
2.3 The system operates at auxiliary heat.
2.4 Once the thermostat demand is satisfied, the CTK0* thermostat commands the air handler/modular blower to end auxiliary heat operation. The air handler control deenergizes the electric heat sequencer outputs. The ECM blower motor remains energized until any blower OFF delay timing has expired.
3.0 Continuous Fan Operation
3.1 With a demand for continuous fan operation, the CTK0* thermostat sends a fan request to the integrated air handler control along with a fan demand. The controladjustable via the CTK0* thermostat. The compressor delay is intended to eliminate compressor noise during the reversing valve shift.) The compressor will energized (or re-energized) at high stage.
3.2 If the thermostat demand for continuous fan is removed, the CTK0* thermostat commands the integrated air handler control to end continuous fan operation. The integrated AH control immediately de-energizes the
ECM blower motor.
4.0 Defrost Operation
4.1 While the system is operating in heat pump heating (see
2.0 Heating Operation
), the control in the outdoor unit may determines that a defrost cycle is needed. Upon determing that a defrost cycle is needed, the UC control de-energizes the condensor fan motor and energizes the reversing valve.
4.2 The compressor may be de-energized for a short delay during the reversing valve shift. (The delay period is adjustable via the CTK0* thermostat. The compressor delay is intended to eliminate compressor noise during the reversing valve shift.) The compressor will energize
(or re-energize) at high stage.
4.3 The UC control sends a request for defrost operation to the integrated air handler control. The air handler control energizes the electric heat sequencer outputs and operates the ECM blower model at the electric heat speed.
4.4 Once the defrost cycle is terminated, the heat pump commands the air handler/modular blower to end defrost operation.
4.5 The system returns to heat pump heating operation that was in effect prior to the defrost cycle.
5.0 Emergency Heat Operation
5.1 The CTK0* thermostat sends a request for emergency heat to the air handler/modular blower.
5.2 The air handler control energizes the ECM blower motor at the emergency heat speed. The electric heat sequencer outputs are also energized, thus energizing the electric heaters.
5.3 The system operates at emergency heat.

S-60 ELECTRIC HEATER (OPTIONAL ITEM)
Optional electric heaters may be added, in the quantities shown in the specifications section, to provide electric resistance heating. Under no condition shall more heaters than the quantity shown be installed.
The low voltage circuit in the air handler is factory wired and terminates at the location provided for the electric heater(s).
A minimum of field wiring is required to complete the installation.
Other components such as a Heating/Cooling Thermostat and Outdoor Thermostats are available to complete the installation.
The system CFM can be determined by measuring the static pressure external to the unit. The installation manual supplied with the blower coil, or the blower performance table in the service manual, shows the CFM for the static measured.
Alternately, the system CFM can be determined by operating the electric heaters and indoor blower WITHOUT having the compressor in operation. Measure the temperature rise as close to the blower inlet and outlet as possible.

1. Remove the wiring from the control terminals.
2. Using an ohmmeter, test for continuity across the normally closed contacts. No reading indicates the control is open - replace if necessary.
IF FOUND OPEN - REPLACE - DO NOT WIRE AROUND.
Each individual heater element is protected with a one time fuse link which is connected in series with the element. The fuse link will open at approximately 333°.
1. Remove heater element assembly so as to expose fuse link.
2. Using an ohmmeter, test across the fuse link for continuity - no reading indicates the link is open. Replace as necessary.
NOTE:
The link is designed to open at approximately 333°F.
DO NOT WIRE AROUND - determine reason for failure.
1. Disassemble and remove the heating element.
2. Visually inspect the heater assembly for any breaks in the wire or broken insulators.
3. Using an ohmmeter, test the element for continuity - no reading indicates the element is open. Replace as necessary.
1. Never open a system that is under vacuum. Air and moisture will be drawn in.
2. Plug or cap all openings.
3. Remove all burrs and clean the brazing surfaces of the tubing with sand cloth or paper. Brazing materials do not flow well on oxidized or oily surfaces.
4. Clean the inside of all new tubing to remove oils and pipe chips.
5. When brazing, sweep the tubing with dry nitrogen to prevent the formation of oxides on the inside surfaces.
6. Complete any repair by replacing the liquid line drier in the system, evacuate and charge.
BRAZING MATERIALS
I
MPORTANT NOTE:
Torch heat required to braze tubes of various sizes is proportional to the size of the tube. Tubes of smaller size require less heat to bring the tube to brazing temperature before adding brazing alloy. Applying too much heat to any tube can melt the tube. Service personnel must use the appropriate heat level for the size of the tube being brazed.
NOTE:
The use of a heat shield when brazing is recommended to avoid burning the serial plate or the finish on the unit. Heat trap or wet rags should be used to protect heat sensitive components such as service valves and TXV valves.

S-101 LEAK TESTING (NITROGEN OR NITRO-
GEN-TRACED)
WARNING
To avoid the risk of fire or explosion, never use oxygen, high pressure air or flammable gases for leak testing of a refrigeration system.
WARNING
To avoid possible explosion, the line from the nitrogen cylinder must include a pressure regulator and a pressure relief valve. The pressure relief valve must be set to open at no more than 150 psig.
Pressure test the system using dry nitrogen and soapy water to locate leaks. If you wish to use a leak detector, charge the system to 10 psi using the appropriate refrigerant then use nitrogen to finish charging the system to working pressure, then apply the detector to suspect areas. If leaks are found, repair them. After repair, repeat the pressure test. If no leaks exist, proceed to system evacuation.

WARNING
REFRIGERANT UNDER PRESSURE!
Failure to follow proper procedures may cause property damage, personal injury or death.
a vacuum gauge to give a true reading of the vacuum in the system.
NOTE:
Never use the Scroll compressor as a vacuum pump or run when under a high vacuum. Motor damage could occur
.
Condensing unit liquid and suction valves are closed to contain the charge within the unit. The unit is shipped with the valve stems closed and caps installed.
Do not open valves until the system is evacuated.
1.
Connect the vacuum pump with 250 micron capability to the service valves.
2.
Evacuate the system to 250 microns or less using suction
and
liquid service valves. Using both valves is necessary as some compressors create a mechanical seal separating the sides of the system.
3.
Close pump valve and hold vacuum for 10 minutes.
Typically pressure will rise during this period.
4.
If the pressure rises to 1000 microns or less and remains steady the system is considered leak free; proceed to startup.
5.
If pressure rises above 1000 microns but holds steady below 2000 microns, moisture and/or noncondensibles may be present or the system may have a small leak.
6.
Return to step 2: If the same result is encountered check for leaks as previously indicated and repair as necessary then repeat evacuation.
7.
If pressure rises above 2000 microns, a leak is present. Check for leaks as previously indicated and repair as necessary then repeat evacuation.
WARNING
Do not front seat the service valve(s) with the compressor open, with the suction line of the comprssor closed or severely restricted.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Because of the potential damage to compressors, do not allow suction pressure at service valve to drop below 20 PSIG when pumping unit system down for repair. Outdoor section, depending on line set length and amount of charge in system, may not be able to hold the entire system charge.
This is the most important part of the entire service procedure.
The life and efficiency of the equipment is dependent upon the thoroughness exercised by the serviceman when evacuating air (non-condensables) and moisture from the system. Air in a system causes high condensing temperature and pressure, resulting in increased power input and reduced performance. Moisture chemically reacts with the refrigerant oil to form corrosive acids. These acids attack motor windings and parts, causing breakdown. The equipment required to thoroughly evacuate the system is a high vacuum pump, capable of producing a vacuum equivalent to 250 microns or less and

WARNING
REFRIGERANT UNDER PRESSURE!
* Do not overcharge system with refrigerant.
* Do not operate unit in a vacuum or at negative
pressure.
Failure to follow proper procedures may cause property damage, personal injury or death.
CAUTION
Use refrigerant certified to AHRI standards. Used refrigerant may cause compressor damage and is not covered under the warranty. Most portable machines cannot clean used refrigerant to meet
AHRI standards.
Operating the compressor with the suction valve closed is not covered by the warranty and will cause serious compressor damage.
Charge the system with the exact amount of refrigerant. Refer to the specification section or check the unit nameplates for the correct refrigerant charge. An inaccurately charged system will cause future problems.
NOTE:
R410A should be drawn out of the storage container or drum in liquid form due to its fractionation properties, but should be “Flashed” to its gas state before entering the system. There is commercially available restriction devices that fit into the system charging hose set to accomplish this.
DO NOT charge liquid R410A into the compressor.
NOTE: Power must be supplied to the 18 SEER outdoor units containing ECM motors before the power is applied to the indoor unit. Sending a low voltage signal without high voltage power present at the outdoor unit can cause malfunction of the control module on the ECM motor.
Adequate refrigerant charge for the matching evaporator coil or air handler and 15 feet of line set is supplied with the condensing unit. If using evaporator coils or air handlers other than HSVTC coil it may be necessary to add or remove refrigerant to attain proper charge. If line set exceeds 15 feet in length, refrigerant should be added at .6 ounces per foot of liquid line.
NOTE: The outdoor temperature should be 60°F or higher when charging the unit.Charge should always be checked using subcooling when using TXV equipped indoor coil to verify proper charge.
Open the suction service valve first!
If the liquid service valve is opened first, oil from the compressor may be drawn into the indoor coil TXV, restricting refrigerant flow and affecting operation of the system.
When opening valves with retainers, open each valve only until the top of the stem is 1/8" from the retainer. To avoid loss of refrigerant, DO NOT apply pressure to the retainer. When opening valves without a retainer remove service valve cap and insert a hex wrench into the valve stem and back out the stem by turning the hex wrench counterclockwise. Open the valve until it contacts the rolled lip of the valve body.
NOTE: These are not back-seating valves. It is not necessary to force the stem tightly against the rolled lip.
After the refrigerant charge has bled into the system, open the liquid service valve. The service valve cap is the secondary seal for the valve and must be properly tightened to prevent leaks. Make sure cap is clean and apply refrigerant oil to threads and sealing surface on inside of cap. Tighten cap finger-tight and then tighten additional 1/6 of a turn (1 wrench flat) to properly seat the sealing surfaces.
EXPANSION VALVE SYSTEM
NOTE:
Units matched with indoor coils equipped with nonadjustable TXV should be charged by subcooling only.
NOTE:
The TXV should NOT be adjusted at light load conditions 55º to 60ºF. Use the following guidelines and methods to check unit operation and ensure that the refrigerant charge is within limits. Charge the unit on low stage.
Units Equipped with Adjustable Expansion
Valves should be charged by Subcooling and
Superheat adjusted only if necessary.
1. Purge gauge lines. Connect service gauge manifold to base-valve service ports. Run the system in low stage at least
10 minutes to allow pressure to stabilize.
2. Temporarily install a thermometer on the liquid line at the liquid line service valve and 4-6" from the compressor on the suction line. Ensure the thermometer makes adequate contact and is insulated for best possible readings. Use liquid line temperature to determine subcooling and vapor temperature to determine superheat.
3. Check subcooling and superheat. Systems with TXV application should have a subcooling of 5 to 7°F and superheat of 7 to 9 °F.
a. If subcooling and superheat are low, adjust TXV to 7 to
9 ºF superheat, and then check subcooling.
NOTE:
To adjust superheat, turn the valve stem clockwise to increase and counter clockwise to decrease.
b. If subcooling is low and superheat is high, add charge to raise subcooling to 5 to 7 °F then check superheat.
c. If subcooling and superheat are high, adjust TXV valve to 7 to 9 ºF superheat, then check subcooling.
d. If subcooling is high and superheat is low, adjust TXV valve to 7 to 9 ºF superheat and remove charge to lower the subcooling to 5 to 7 ºF.

NOTE:
Do NOT adjust the charge based on suction pressure unless there is a gross undercharge.

NOTE
: Check the Schrader ports for leaks and tighten valve cores if necessary. Install caps fingertight.
HEAT PUMP - HEATING CYCLE
The proper method of charging a heat pump in the heat mode is by weight with the additional charge adjustments for line size, line length, and other system components. For best results on outdoor units with TXVs, superheat should be 2-
5°F at 4-6" from the compressor. Make final charge adjustments in the cooling cycle.
S-108 SUPERHEAT
The expansion valves are factory adjusted to maintain 7 to 9 degrees superheat of the suction gas. Before checking the superheat or replacing the valve, perform all the procedures outlined under Air Flow, Refrigerant Charge, Expansion Valve
- Overfeeding, Underfeeding. These are the most common causes for evaporator malfunction.
CHECKING SUPERHEAT
Refrigerant gas is considered superheated when its temperature is higher than the saturation temperature corresponding to its pressure. The degree of superheat equals the degrees of temperature increase above the saturation temperature at existing pressure. See Temperature - Pressure Chart on following pages.
S-104 CHECKING COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY
The reason for compressor inefficiency is broken or damaged scroll flanks on Scroll compressors, reducing the ability of the compressor to pump refrigerant vapor.
The condition of the scroll flanks is checked in the following manner.
1. Attach gauges to the high and low side of the system.
2. Start the system and run a "Cooling Performance Test.
If the test shows: a. Below normal high side pressure.
b. Above normal low side pressure.
c. Low temperature difference across coil.
d. Low amp draw at compressor.
And the charge is correct. The compressor is faulty - replace the compressor.
S-106 OVERFEEDING
Overfeeding by the expansion valve results in high suction pressure, cold suction line, and possible liquid slugging of the compressor.
If these symptoms are observed:
1. Check for an overcharged unit by referring to the cooling performance charts in the servicing section.
2. Check the operation of the power element in the valve as explained in S-110 Checking Expansion Valve Operation.
3. Check for restricted or plugged equalizer tube.
CAUTION
To prevent personal injury, carefully connect and disconnect manifold gauge hoses. Escaping liquid refrigerant can cause burns. Do not vent refrigerant to atmosphere. Recover during system repair or final unit disposal.
1. Run system at least 10 minutes to allow pressure to stabilize.
2. For best results, temporarily install a thermometer on the liquid line at the liquid line service valve and 4-6" from the compressor on the suction line. Ensure the thermometer makes adequate contact and is insulated for best possible readings. Use liquid line temperature to determine sub-cooling and vapor temperature to determine superheat.
NOTE:
An optional method is to locate the thermometer at the suction line service valve. Ensure the thermometer makes adequate contact and is insulated for best possible readings.
3. Refer to the superheat table provided for proper system superheat. Add charge to lower superheat or recover charge to raise superheat.
Superheat Formula = Suct. Line Temp. - Sat. Suct. Temp.
EXAMPLE:
a. Suction Pressure = 143 b. Corresponding Temp. °F. = 50 c. Thermometer on Suction Line = 61°F.
To obtain the degrees temperature of superheat, subtract
50.0 from 61.0°F.
The difference is 11° Superheat. The 11° Superheat would fall in the ± range of allowable superheat.
S-107 UNDERFEEDING
Underfeeding by the expansion valve results in low system capacity and low suction pressures.
If these symptoms are observed:
1. Check for a restricted liquid line or drier. A restriction will be indicated by a temperature drop across the drier.
2. Check the operation of the power element of the valve as described in S-110 Checking Expansion Valve Operation.
S-109 CHECKING SUBCOOLING
Refrigerant liquid is considered subcooled when its temperature is lower than the saturation temperature corresponding to its pressure.
The degree of subcooling equals the degrees of temperature decrease below the saturation temperature at the existing pressure.
85
SERVICING
1. Attach an accurate thermometer or preferably a thermocouple type temperature tester to the liquid line as it leaves the condensing unit.
2. Install a high side pressure gauge on the high side (liquid) service valve at the front of the unit.
3. Record the gauge pressure and the temperature of the line.
4. Review the technical information manual or specification sheet for the model being serviced to obtain the design subcooling.
5. Compare the hi-pressure reading to the "Required Liquid
Line Temperature" chart (page 108). Find the hi-pressure value on the left column. Follow that line right to the column under the design subcooling value. Where the two intersect is the required liquid line temperature.
Alternately you can convert the liquid line pressure gauge reading to temperature by finding the gauge reading in
Temperature - Pressure Chart and reading to the left, find the temperature in the °F. Column.
6. The difference between the thermometer reading and pressure to temperature conversion is the amount of subcooling.
Add charge to raise subcooling. Recover charge to lower subcooling.
Subcooling Formula = Sat. Liquid Temp. - Liquid Line
Temp.
EXAMPLE:
a. Liquid Line Pressure = 417 b. Corresponding Temp. °F. = 120° c. Thermometer on Liquid line = 109°F.
To obtain the amount of subcooling subtract 109°F from
120°F.
The difference is 11° subcooling. See the specification sheet or technical information manual for the design subcooling range for your unit.
S-112 CHECKING RESTRICTED LIQUID LINE
When the system is operating, the liquid line is warm to the touch. If the liquid line is restricted, a definite temperature drop will be noticed at the point of restriction. In severe cases, frost will form at the restriction and extend down the line in the direction of the flow.
Discharge and suction pressures will be low, giving the appearance of an undercharged unit. However, the unit will have normal to high subcooling.
Locate the restriction, replace the restricted part, replace drier, evacuate and recharge.
S-113 OVERCHARGE OF REFRIGERANT
An overcharge of refrigerant is normally indicated by an excessively high head pressure.
An evaporator coil, using an expansion valve metering device, will basically modulate and control a flooded evaporator and prevent liquid return to the compressor.
An evaporator coil, using a capillary tube metering device, could allow refrigerant to return to the compressor under extreme overcharge conditions. Also with a capillary tube metering device, extreme cases of insufficient indoor air can cause icing of the indoor coil and liquid return to the compressor, but the head pressure would be lower.
There are other causes for high head pressure which may be found in the "Service Problem Analysis Guide."
If other causes check out normal, an overcharge or a system containing non-condensables would be indicated.
If this system is observed:
1. Start the system.
2. Remove and capture small quantities of gas from the suction line dill valve until the head pressure is reduced to normal.
3. Observe the system while running a cooling performance test. If a shortage of refrigerant is indicated, then the system contains non-condensables.
S-110 CHECKING EXPANSION VALVE OPERA-
TION
1. Remove the remote bulb of the expansion valve from the suction line.
2. Start the system and cool the bulb in a container of ice water, closing the valve. As you cool the bulb, the suction pressure should fall and the suction temperature will rise.
3. Next warm the bulb in your hand. As you warm the bulb, the suction pressure should rise and the suction temperature will fall.
4. If a temperature or pressure change is noticed, the expansion valve is operating. If no change is noticed, the valve is restricted, the power element is faulty, or the equalizer tube is plugged.
5. Capture the charge, replace the valve and drier, evacuate and recharge.
S-114 NON-CONDENSABLES
If non-condensables are suspected, shut down the system and allow the pressures to equalize. Wait at least 15 minutes. Compare the pressure to the temperature of the coldest coil since this is where most of the refrigerant will be.
If the pressure indicates a higher temperature than that of the coil temperature, non-condensables are present.
Non-condensables are removed from the system by first removing the refrigerant charge, replacing and/or installing liquid line drier, evacuating and recharging.

CHECKING COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY
The reason for compressor inefficiency is broken or damaged scroll flanks on Scroll compressors, reducing the ability of the compressor to pump refrigerant vapor. The condition of the scroll flanks is checked in the following manner.
1. Attach gauges to the high and low side of the system.
2. Start the system and run a “Cooling Performance Test. If the test shows: a. Below normal high side pressure.
b. Above normal low side pressure.
c. Low temperature difference across coil.
d. Low amp draw at compressor.
And the charge is correct. The compressor is faulty
– replace the compressor.
S-115 COMPRESSOR BURNOUT
When a compressor burns out, high temperature develops causing the refrigerant, oil and motor insulation to decompose forming acids and sludge.
If a compressor is suspected of being burned-out, attach a refrigerant hose to the liquid line dill valve and properly remove and dispose of the refrigerant.
NOTICE
Violation of EPA regulations may result in fines or other penalties.
Now determine if a burn out has actually occurred. Confirm by analyzing an oil sample using a Sporlan Acid Test Kit, AK-
3 or its equivalent.
Remove the compressor and obtain an oil sample from the suction stub. If the oil is not acidic, either a burnout has not occurred or the burnout is so mild that a complete clean-up is not necessary.
If acid level is unacceptable, the system must be cleaned by using the clean-up drier method.
CAUTION
Do not allow the sludge or oil to contact the skin.
Severe burns may result.
NOTE:
The Flushing Method using R-11 refrigerant is no longer approved by Amana ® Brand Heating-Cooling.
Suction Line Drier Clean-Up Method
The POE oils used with R410A refrigerant is an excellent solvent. In the case of a burnout, the POE oils will remove any burnout residue left in the system. If not captured by the refrigerant filter, they will collect in the compressor or other system components, causing a failure of the replacement compressor and/or spread contaminants throughout the system, damaging additional components.
Install a field supplied suction line drier. This drier should be installed as close to the compressor suction fitting as possible. The filter must be accessible and be rechecked for pressure drop after the system has operated for a time. It may be necessary to use new tubing and form as required.
NOTE:
At least twelve (12) inches of the suction line immediately out of the compressor stub must be discarded due to burned residue and contaminates.
1. Remove compressor discharge line strainer.
2. Remove the liquid line drier and expansion valve.
3 Purge all remaining components with dry nitrogen or carbon dioxide until clean.
4. Install new components
including
liquid line drier.
5. Braze all joints, leak test, evacuate, and recharge system.
6. Start up the unit and record the pressure drop across the drier.
7. Continue to run the system for a minimum of twelve (12) hours and recheck the pressure drop across the drier.
Pressure drop should not exceed 6 PSIG.
8. Continue to run the system for several days, repeatedly checking pressure drop across the suction line drier. If the pressure drop never exceeds the 6 PSIG, the drier has trapped the contaminants. Remove the suction line drier from the system.
9. If the pressure drop becomes greater, then it must be replaced and steps 5 through 9 repeated until it does not exceed 6 PSIG.
NOTICE:
Regardless, the cause for burnout must be determined and corrected before the new compressor is started.
S-120 REFRIGERANT PIPING
The piping of a refrigeration system is very important in relation to system capacity, proper oil return to compressor, pumping rate of compressor and cooling performance of the evaporator.
POE oils maintain a consistent viscosity over a large temperature range which aids in the oil return to the compressor; however, there will be some installations which require oil return traps. These installations should be avoided whenever possible, as adding oil traps to the refrigerant lines also increases the opportunity for debris and moisture to be introduced into the system. Avoid long running traps in horizontal suction line.

ALUMINUM INDOOR COIL CLEANING
(Qualified Servicer Only)
This unit is equipped with an aluminum tube evaporator coil.
The safest way to clean the evaporator coil is to simply flush the coil with water. This cleaning practice remains as the recommended cleaning method for both copper tube and aluminum tube residential cooling coils.
An alternate cleaning method is to use one of the products listed in the technical publication
TP-109 (shipped in the literature bag with the unit)
to clean the coils. The cleaners listed are the only agents deemed safe and approved for use to clean round tube aluminum coils. TP-109 is available on the web site in Partner Link > Service Toolkit.
NOTE:
Ensure coils are rinsed well after use of any chemical cleaners.
Air Handler Static Pressure Readings
S-203A TWO PIECE AIR HANDLER EXTERNAL
STATIC PRESSURE
To determine proper airflow, proceed as follows:
1. Using a Inclined Manometer or Magnehelic gauge, measure the static pressure between the outlet of the evaporator coil and the inlet of the air handler, this will be a negative pressure ( for example -.30"wc)
2. Measure the static pressure of the supply duct at the outlet of the unit, this should be a positive pressure (for example
.20"wc).
3. Add the two readings together (for example -.30"wc +
.20"wc = .50"wc total static pressure.
NOTE:
Both readings may be taken simultaneously and read directly on the manometer if so desired.
4. Consult proper air handler airflow chart for quantity of air
(CFM) at the measured external static pressure.
S-203 SINGLE PIECE AIR HANDLER EXTERNAL
STATIC PRESSURE
To determine proper airflow, proceed as follows:
1. Using a Inclined Manometer or Magnehelic gauge , measure the static pressure of the return duct at the inlet of the air handler, this will be a negative pressure ( for example
-.30"wc)
2. Measure the static pressure of the supply duct at the outlet of the air handler, this should be a positive pressure (for example .20"wc).
3. Add the two readings together (for example -.30"wc +
.20"wc = .50"wc total external static pressure.
NOTE:
Both readings may be taken simultaneously and read directly on the manometer if so desired.
4. Consult proper air handler airflow chart for quantity of air
(CFM) at the measured external static pressure.
