Sequence of Operation A good understanding of the basic operation of the refrigeration system is essential for the service technician. Without this understanding, accurate troubleshooting of refrigeration system problems will be more difficult and time consuming, if not (in some cases) entirely impossible.
Electrical Rating Tables All 230/208 volt units are equipped with power cords. NOTE: Use Copper Conductors ONLY Wire sizes are per NEC, check local codes for overseas applications Table 1 250 V Receptacles and Fuse Types AMPS RECEPTACLE MANUFACTURER Hubbell 5661 P &...
Standard Unit Operation Rotate the temperature dial in small increments in the warmer or cooler direction. Moving the dial more than 1/4" at a time may overcompensate and result in an extreme hot or cold situation. Standard Unit Control Panel COOLING ONLY MODEL Temperature Limiting Thermostat Set the thermostat knob to center of dial.
Other manufacturer's PTACs and even older Friedrich models may have different control wire connections. Questions concerning proper connections to the unit should be directed to the factory.
Remote Thermostat 208V Operation 208V 60HZ Remote Thermostat Unit Operation These units are controlled by the use of a remote thermostat that will cycle the unit to maintain desired room temperature. See thermostat operating instruction sheet for details. The fan speed switch controls high and low speed fan operation.
Measuring Current Draw Heat Anticipators Heat anticipators are small resistance heaters (wired in SERIES with the "W" circuit) and built into most electromechanical thermostats. Their purpose is to prevent wide swings in room temperature during system operation in the HEATING mode. Since they are wired in series, the "W"...
Fan Cycle Switch NOTE: It is recommended that this switch be set in the continuous position for maximum comfort and temperature control. Hot Start Sensor (Heat Pump Models Only) Under cold room conditions, the Hot Start Sensor brings on the heater strips with a call for heat. This is to dis- tribute warm air at the beginning of the heat cycle.
NOTE: In order to access the sealed system it will be necessary to install Schrader type fittings to the process tubes on the discharge and suction of the compressor. Proper recovery refrigerant procedures need to be adhered to as outlined in EPA Regulations.
Overcharged Refrigerant Systems Compressor amps will be near normal or higher. Noncondensables can also cause these symptoms. To confirm, remove some of the charge, if conditions improve, system may be overcharged. If conditions don’t improve, Noncondensables are indicated. Whenever an overcharged system is indicated, always make sure that the problem is not caused by air flow problems.

Restricted Refrigerant System Troubleshooting a restricted refrigerant system can be difficult. The following procedures are the more common problems and solutions to these problems. There are two types of refrigerant restrictions: Partial restrictions and complete restrictions. A partial restriction allows some of the refrigerant to circulate through the system.
Metering Device Capillary Tube Systems All units are equipped with capillary tube metering de- vices. Checking for restricted capillary tubes. Connect pressure gauges to unit. Start the unit in the cooling mode. If after a few minutes of operation the pressures are normal, the check valve and the cooling capillary are not restricted.
Electrical Circuit and Coil (Reversing valve coil is energized in the heating cycle only). 1. Set controls for heating; valve should shift if there is pressure in the sealed system. 2. REMOTE THERMOSTAT HEAT PUMP UNITS: Check for line voltage at the heat relay, terminal #4 and the reversing valve relay terminal #4.
Reversing Valve in Cooling Mode 8. Pressurize sealed system with a combination of R-22 and nitrogen and check for leaks, using a suitable leak detector. Recover refrigerant per EPA guidelines. 9. Once the sealed system is leak free, install solenoid coil on new valve and charge the sealed system by weighing in the proper amount and type of refrigerant as shown on rating plate.
Single Phase Resistance Test Remove the leads from the compressor terminals and set the ohmmeter on the lowest scale (R x 1). Touch the leads of the ohmmeter from terminals common to start ("C" to "S"). Next, touch the leads of the ohmmeter from terminals common to run ("C"...
Carefully pour a small amount of oil from the suction stub of the defective compressor into a clean container. Using an acid test kit (one shot or conventional kit), test the oil for acid content according to the instructions with the kit. If any evidence of a burnout is found, no matter how slight, the system will need to be cleaned up following proper procedures.
System Switch Continuity Check Remove and label all wires from the system switch. Using an ohmmeter checks for continuity can be made. Continuity reading should be as shown in the table below. Should the switch fail any part of this check it should be replaced. Cooling Only Models...
Remove and label all wires from the fan cycle switch. Continuity reading should be as shown in the table below. Should the fan cycle switch fail any part of this check, it should be replaced. Remove and label all wires from the fan speed switch. Continuity reading should be as shown in the table below. Should the fan speed switch fail any part of this check, it should be replaced.
Emergency Heat Switch (Defrost Thermostat) Electric Heat Switch Operation ( Heat Pumps Only) The electric heat switch is a dual function control and is shown on the wiring diagram as a defrost thermostat. It may be adjusted using a screwdriver. As the control shaft is rotated counter clockwise a detent will be encountered. Turning the control past the detent will lock out the compressor and acts as an emergency heat switch.
NOTE: Units are to be inspected and serviced by qualified service personnel only. Clean the unit air intake filter at least every 300 to 350 hours of operation. Clean the filters with a mild detergent in warm water and allow to dry thoroughly before reinstalling. The indoor coil (evaporator coil), the outdoor coil (condenser coil) and base pan should be inspected periodically (yearly or bi-yearly) and cleaned of all debris (lint, dirt, leaves, paper, etc.).
