SEQUENCE OF OPERATION A good understanding of the basic operation of the refrigeration The refrigerant leaves the condenser Coil through the liquid system is essential for the service technician. Without this line as a warm high pressure liquid. It next will pass through understanding, accurate troubleshooting of refrigeration the refrigerant drier (if so equipped).
NOTE: Use copper conductors only. POWER CORD INFORMATION (230/208V MODELS ONLY) All Friedrich 230/208V PTAC units are shipped from the NOTE: The LCDI device is not intended to be used as a factory with a Leakage Current Detection Interrupter (LCDI) switch.
DIGITAL CONTROL OPERATION Temperature Display The Friedrich digital PTAC is shipped from the factory to display the desired room temperature on the LED readout. Digital Control Panel The unit can be confi gured to display the room temperature by simultaneously pressing the ‘Cool’ and ‘High Fan’ buttons for three seconds the display will show an ‘R’...

CALCULATING THE APPROXIMATE CFM The approximate CFM actually being delivered can be EXAMPLE: Measured voltage to unit (heaters) is 230 volts. calculated by using the following formula: Measured Current Draw of strip heaters is 11.0 amps. 230 x 11.0 = 2530 KILOWATTS x 3413 2530/1000 = 2.53 Kilowatts Temp.
NOTE: In order to access the sealed system it will be necessary to install Schrader type fi ttings to the process tubes on the discharge and suction of the compressor. Proper recovery refrigerant procedures need to be ad hered to as outlined in EPA Regulations.
Restricted Refrigerant System Troubleshooting a restricted re frig er ant sys tem can be diffi cult. The following proce dures are the more com mon prob lems and so lu tions to these problems. There are two types of re frig er ant restrictions: Par tial re stric tions and com plete restrictions.

TESTING THE COIL 1. Turn off high voltage electrical pow er to unit. 2. Unplug line voltage lead from re vers ing valve coil. 3. Check for electrical continuity through the coil. If you do not have con ti nu ity re place the coil. 4.
Make sure that the ends of the lead do not touch the compressor shell since this will cause a short circuit. Determine L.R.V. Start the compressor with the volt me ter attached; then stop the unit. Attempt to re start the compressor within a couple of seconds and immediately read the voltage on the meter.
