Digital Scroll Option —
have a factory-installed option for a digital scroll compressor
which provides additional stages of unloading for the unit. The
digital compressor is always installed in the A1 compressor lo-
cation. When a digital compressor is installed, a digital unload-
er solenoid (DUS) is used on the digital compressor.
DIGITAL SCROLL OPERATION — A digital scroll oper-
ates in two stages — the "loaded state" when the solenoid
valve is deenergized and the "unloaded state" when the sole-
noid valve is energized. During the loaded state, the compres-
sor operates like a standard scroll and delivers full capacity and
mass flow.
However, during the unloaded state, there is no capacity
and no mass flow through the compressor. The capacity of the
system is varied by varying the time the compressor operates
in an unloaded and loaded state during a 15-second period. If
the DUS is energized for 7 seconds, the compressor will be
operating at 47% capacity. If the DUS is energized for 10 sec-
onds, the compressor will be operating at approximately 33%
of its capacity. Capacity is the time averaged summation of
loaded and unloaded states, and its range is continuous from
the minimum configured capacity to 100%. Regardless of
capacity, the compressor always rotates with constant speed.
As the compressor transitions from a loaded to unloaded state,
the discharge and suction pressures will fluctuate and the com-
pressor sound will change.
The ComfortLink controller controls and integrates the op-
eration of the DUS into the compressor staging routine to
maintain temperature control. When a digital compressor is in-
stalled, an additional discharge gas temperature thermistor
(DTT) is installed along with the AUX board for control of the
DUS.
DIGITAL COMPRESSOR CONFIGURATION — When a
digital compressor is installed, the configuration parameter
 
(Configuration UNIT A1.TY) is configured to YES.
There is also a maximum unload time configuration, (Config-
 
uration UNIT MAX.T) that is set to 7 seconds, which in-
dicates the maximum unloading for the digital compressor is
47%. This is done to optimize efficiency of the system.

PRE-START-UP

IMPORTANT: Before beginning Pre-Start-Up or Start-Up,
complete Start-Up Checklist for 30RAP Liquid Chiller at
end of this publication (pages CL-1 to CL-12). The check-
list assures proper start-up of a unit, and provides a record
of unit condition, application requirements, system infor-
mation, and operation at initial start-up.
Do not attempt to start the chiller until following checks
have been completed.

System Check

1. Check all auxiliary components, such as chilled fluid
pumps, air-handling equipment, or other equipment to
which the chiller supplies liquid. Consult manufacturer's
instructions. Verify that any pump interlock contacts have
been properly installed. If the unit has field-installed ac-
cessories, be sure all are properly installed and wired cor-
rectly. Refer to unit wiring diagrams.
2. Use the scrolling marquee display to adjust the Cooling
Set Point.
3. Fill chilled fluid circuit with clean water (with recom-
mended inhibitor added) or other non-corrosive fluid to
be cooled. Bleed all air out of the high points of the sys-
tem. If chilled water is to be maintained at a temperature
below 40 F (4.4 C) or outdoor temperatures are expected
to be below 32 F (0° C), an antifreeze of sufficient con-
centration must be used to prevent freeze-up at anticipat-
ed suction temperatures.
The 30RAP010-090 units
The chilled water loop must be cleaned before the unit is
connected.
NOTE: On units with digital scroll option do not check
refrigerant, charge if compressor is operating at less than
100% capacity, digital operation can be disabled by con-
figuring A1.TY = NO (Configuration
4. Check tightness of all electrical connections.
5. Oil should be visible in the compressor sight glass(es).

el is from 1 / to 3

an acceptable oil level is from
oil should be removed unless the crankcase heater, if
equipped, has been energized for at least 24 hours. Ad-
just the oil level as required. See Oil Charge section on
page 55 for Carrier approved oils.
6. Electrical power source must agree with unit nameplate.
7. All condenser fan and factory-installed hydronic package
pump motors are three phase. Check for proper rotation
of condenser fans first BEFORE attempting to start
pumps or compressors. To reverse rotation, interchange
any two of the main incoming power leads.
8. Be sure system is fully charged with refrigerant (see
Check Refrigerant Charge section on page 46).
9. Verify proper operation of cooler and hydronic package
heaters (if installed). Heaters operate at the same voltage
as the main incoming power supply and are single phase.
Heater current is approximately 0.4 amps for 460 and
575 v units. Heater current is approximately 0.8 amps for
230 v units.

START-UP AND OPERATION

NOTE: Refer to Start-Up Checklist on pages CL-1 to CL-12.
Crankcase heaters on all units are wired into the control cir-
cuit, so they are always operable as long as the main power
supply disconnect is on (closed), even if any safety device
is open. Compressor heaters must be on for 24 hours prior
to the start-up of any compressor. Equipment damage
could result if heaters are not energized for at least 24 hours
prior to compressor start-up.
Compressor crankcase heaters must be on for 24 hours be-
fore start-up. To energize the crankcase heaters, close the field
disconnect and turn on the fan circuit breakers. Leave the
