that the suction pressure drops and the discharge pressure rises when the compressor is energized. An
alternate method of verification for self contained system with small critical refrigerant charges, where
the installation of gauges may be objectionable, can be made by monitoring the temperature of the
refrigerant lines at the compressor. The temperature should rise on the discharge line while the suction
line temperature decreases. Reverse rotation also results in a substantially reduced current draw when
compared to tabulated values.
There is no negative impact on durability caused by operating three phase compressors in the reversed
direction for a short duration of time, usually defined as less than one hour. However, after several
minutes of operation the compressor's internal protector will trip. The compressor will then cycle on
the protector until the phasing is corrected. Reverse operation for longer than one hour may have a
negative impact on the bearings.
To change the rotation, turn off power to the unit and reverse L1 & L2 at the disconnect in the air
conditioner.
The middle front panel provides access to the electrical/control box and to the filters. This panel has hinges
on the left and right hand side. This panel should ONLY be opened by using the two hinges on the left
side OR the two hinges on the right side. NEVER OPEN ALL FOUR HINGES SIMULTANEOUSLY.
If all four hinges are opened simultaneously, the front panel will drop and may cause serious injury
and damage the panel.
NEVER open all four hinges simultaneously. The panel should ONLY be opened by using
the two hinges on the left side OR the two hinges on the right side.
High Voltage Wiring
The power supply should have the proper voltage, phase, and ampacity for the selected model.
1. Refer to the electrical data on the data sticker on the unit for field wiring requirements of the unit.
Size the incoming power supply lines and the fuse(s) or HACR breaker(s) according to requirements
described in the National Electric Code. Run the power conductors through the knockouts on the
side or back of the unit. Use appropriate conduit and strain reliefs.
Note: Power supply service must be within allowable range (+10% - 5%) of rated voltage
stamped on the unit rating plate. To operate nominal 230/208V unit at 208V, change the
transformer line tap from 240V to 208V following the instruction on wiring label in unit.
2. Connect the wires to the input side of the internal breaker or terminal block L1, L2, & L3 for three-
phase models.
3. Install the ground wire on the ground lug.
4. For units designed for operation on 208/230V, 60Hz power supply, the transformer is factory wired
for a 230V power supply. For a 208V power supply, remove the orange lead from the transformer
and connect the red lead. Insulate the orange lead.
The external breaker(s) that provide power to the air conditioner must be sized per the
maximum Fuse Size (MFS) shown on the Unit's data label.
