of compressor operation until CADM is manually reset. Reset
CADM by cycling unit main power.
Complete system shutdown may be caused by loss of main pow-
er, open compressor internal overload, open low-pressure or
high-pressure switch, or a fault detected by the CADM logic.
Compressor operation without cooling may indicate the com-
pressor's ASTP feature is active; disconnect unit power and al-
low compressor to cool. See Service section for further details.
COOLING, UNIT WITH ECONOMIZER
Refer to fan coil unit installation instructions and economizer ac-
cessory installation instructions for operating sequences when sys-
tem is equipped with accessory economizer.
HEATING
Refer to fan coil unit installation instructions and accessory heat-
ing device installation instructions for operating sequences in
heating mode.

MAINTENANCE

These items should be part of a routine maintenance program, to
be checked every month or two, until a specific schedule for each
can be identified for this installation:

Quarterly Inspection

(and 30 days after initial start)

INDOOR SECTION
Condenser coil cleanliness checked.
Return air filter replacement
Outdoor hood inlet filters cleaned
Belt tension checked
Belt condition checked
Pulley alignment checked
Fan shaft bearing locking collar tightness checked
Condensate drain checked

Seasonal Maintenance

These items should be checked at the beginning of each season (or
more often if local conditions and usage patterns dictate):
AIR CONDITIONING
Condenser fan motor mounting bolts tightness
Compressor mounting bolts
Condenser fan blade positioning
Control box cleanliness and wiring condition
Wire terminal tightness
Refrigerant charge level
Evaporator coil cleaning
Evaporator blower motor amperage
HEATING
Power wire connections
Fuses ready
Manual-reset limit switch is closed
ECONOMIZER OR OUTSIDE AIR DAMPER
Inlet filters condition
Check damper travel (economizer)
Check gear and dampers for debris and dirt

Refrigeration System

UNIT OPERATION AND SAFETY HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could cause personal injury,
death and/or equipment damage.
This system uses R-410A refrigerant, which has higher pres-
sures than R-22 and other refrigerants. No other refrigerant
may be used in this system. Gage set, hoses, and recovery sys-
tem must be designed to handle R-410A refrigerant. If unsure
about equipment, consult the equipment manufacturer.
COMPRESSOR OIL
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to compo-
nents.
The compressor is in a R-410A refrigerant system and uses a
polyolester (POE) oil. This oil is extremely hygroscopic,
meaning it absorbs water readily. POE oils can absorb
15 times as much water as other oils designed for HCFC and
CFC refrigerants. Avoid exposure of the oil to the atmosphere.
Servicing Systems on Roofs with Synthetic Materials
POE (polyolester) compressor lubricants are known to cause long
term damage to some synthetic roofing materials. Exposure, even
if immediately cleaned up, may cause embrittlement (leading to
cracking) to occur in one year or more. When performing any ser-
vice which may risk exposure of compressor oil to the roof, take
appropriate precautions to protect roofing. Procedures which risk
oil leakage include but are not limited to compressor replacement,
repairing refrigerants leaks, replacing refrigerant components such
as filter drier, pressure switch, metering device, coil, accumulator,
or reversing valve.
Synthetic Roof Precautionary Procedure:
1.
Cover extended roof working area with an impermeable
polyethylene (plastic) drop cloth or tarp. Cover an approxi-
mate 10 x 10 ft (3.3 x 3.3 m) area.
2.
Cover area in front of the unit service panel with a terry cloth
shop towel to absorb lubricant spills and prevent run-offs, and
protect drop cloth from tears caused by tools or components.
3.
Place terry cloth shop towel inside unit immediately under
component(s) to be serviced and prevent lubricant run-offs
through the louvered openings in the base pan.
4.
Perform required service.
5.
Remove and dispose of any oil contaminated material per
local codes.
LIQUID LINE FILTER DRIER
The factory-provided filter drier is specifically designed to operate
with Puron refrigerant. Replace the filter drier with factory-autho-
rized components only with a filter drier with desiccant made
from 100% molecular sieve grade XH-11. Filter drier must be re-
placed whenever the refrigerant system is opened.
When removing a filter drier, use a tubing cutter to cut the drier
from the system. Do not unsweat a filter drier from the system.
Heat from unsweating will release moisture and contaminants
from drier into system.
