FORM 201.26-NM1
ISSUE DATE: 1/19/2018
Commissioning of this unit should only
be carried out by Johnson Controls au-
thorized personnel.
Commissioning personnel should be thoroughly famil-
iar with the information contained in this literature, in
addition to this section.
Perform the commissioning using the detailed checks
outlined in the "Equipment Pre-startup and Startup
Checklist" (located in this section of the IOM) as the
commissioning procedure is carried out.
PREPARATION – POWER OFF
The following basic checks should be made with the
customer power to the Unit Switched OFF.

Inspection

Inspect unit for installation damage. If found, take ac-
tion and/or repair as appropriate.

Refrigerant Charge

Packaged units are normally shipped as standard with
a full refrigerant operating charge. Check that refrig-
erant pressure is present in both systems and that no
leaks are apparent. If no pressure is present, a leak test
must be undertaken, the leak(s) located and repaired.
Remote systems and units are supplied with a nitrogen
holding charge. These systems must be evacuated with
a suitable vacuum pump/recovery unit as appropriate
to below 500 microns.
Do not liquid charge with static water in the cooler.
Care must also be taken to liquid charge slowly to
avoid excessive thermal stress at the charging point.
Once the vacuum is broken, charge into the condens-
er coils with the full operating charge as given in the
Technical Data Section.

Service and Oil Line Valves

Open each compressor suction, economizer, and dis-
charge service valve. If valves are of the back-seat
type, open them fully (counterclockwise) then close
one turn of the stem to ensure operating pressure is fed
to pressure transducers. Open the liquid line service
valve and oil return line ball valve fully in each system.

Compressor Oil

To add oil to a circuit – connect a YORK hand oil
pump (Part No. 470-10654-000) to the 1/4 of an inch
oil charging connection on the compressors with a
length of clean hose or copper line, but do not tighten
the flare nut. Using clean oil of the correct type (Mod-
els YCWL0056 to 0156 use POE synthetic YORK "V"
oil, Models YCWL0177 to 0198 use YORK "PVE"oil),
pump oil until all air has been purged from the hose
then tighten the nut. Stroke the oil pump to add oil to
the oil system. Approximately 1.8 to 2.3 gallons are
present in the each refrigerant system. Oil levels in
the oil equalizing line sight glass should be between
the bottom and the middle of the sight glass with the
system OFF. High oil levels may cause excessive oil
carryover in the system. High oil concentration in the
system may cause nuisance trips resulting from in-
correct readings on the level sensor and temperature
sensors. Temperature sensor errors may result in poor
liquid control and resultant liquid overfeed and sub-
sequent damage to the compressor. While running, a
visible sign of oil splashing in the sight glass is normal.

Fans

Check that all fans are free to rotate and are not dam-
aged. Ensure blades are at the same height when ro-
tated. Ensure fan guards are securely fixed.

Isolation / Protection

Verify all sources of electrical supply to the unit are
taken from a single point of isolation. Check that the
maximum recommended fuse sizes given in the Tech-
nical Data Section has not been exceeded.

Control Panel

Check the panel to see that it is free of foreign materials
(wire, metal chips, and so on) and clean out if required.

Power Connections

Check that the customer power cables are connected
correctly to the terminal blocks or optional circuit
breaker. Ensure that connections of power cables with-
in the panels to the circuit breaker or terminal blocks
are tight.
