MICRO-AIR EASYSTART User Manual

Improve Your Starts
With
EasyStart
EasyStart is a low cost solution to expensive generator replacements and costly
service upgrades. EasyStart reduces peak starting current by up to 75% and controls
power throughout the start. Compressors start smoother, and the power source
work load is lighter with EasyStart.

IMPORTANT: This equipment contains potential dangerous or lethal AC voltages. Appropriate safety pre-
cautions and measures must be used when servicing and installing equipment.

Installation Summary

(Detailed instructions available at Micro-Air.net. See bottom of page)
Diagram A above shows a typical compressor installation. Diagram B (364 and 368) and Diagram C (366) above shows the standard connections that are made
following a completed EasyStart installation. Follow the steps below to install EasyStart.
1. Identify and remove any existing compressor start components labeled optional factory hard start in diagram A.
2. Most compressors and wiring diagrams are labeled with compressor "R", "C", and "S" terminals as shown in diagram A. Identify the wire connecting to the
run capacitor from the "R" terminal of the compressor. Remove the wire from the run capacitor (or contactor on larger compressors) and splice the Brown wire
from EasyStart to it.
3. Connect the white wire (shown as light blue above) from EasyStart to the open run capacitor terminal from step 2.
Compressors over 36000BTU (3 tons) should connect the white L2 wire from EasyStart directly to the compressor contactor.
4. Splice the black wire from EasyStart into the switched power lead from thermostat relay or contactor that connects to the compressor overload (O.L.).
5. Connect the orange wire from EasyStart to the run capacitor Herm terminal. There will be an available terminal left over from step 1 when the original start
circuit was removed in most cases.
6. Start EasyStart 5 times from a utility AC power source before starting on a generator or inverter to allow EasyStart to learn the compressor.
Damage to the enclosure or cutting JP2 without authorization from Micro-Air will void the warranty.

Diagram B (364, 368)
Note 1: Some compressors do not have factory hard start devices.
Note 2: Terminals on run capacitors are not rated to handle currents from large compressors.
Note 3: An internal cycle timer prevents restarts for five minutes after shutdown.
