WARNING
!
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
1. Follow recognized safety practices and wear
approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE),
including safety glasses and gloves when
checking or servicing refrigerant system.
2. Do not use a torch to remove any component.
System contains oil and refrigerant under
pressure. To remove a component, wear PPE and
proceed as follows:
a. Shut off all electrical power to unit. Apply
applicable Lock- - out/Tagout procedures.
b. Recover refrigerant to relieve all pressure
from system using both high- - pressure and
low pressure ports.
c. Do not use a torch. Cut component connec-
tion tubing with tubing cutter and remove
component from unit.
d. Carefully un- - sweat remaining tubing stubs
when necessary. Oil can ignite when exposed
to torch flame.
3. Do not operate compressor or provide any electric
power to unit unless compressor terminal cover is
in place and secured.
4. Do not remove compressor terminal cover until
all electrical power is disconnected and approved
Lock- - out/Tagout procedures are in place.
5. Relieve all pressure from system before touching
or disturbing anything inside terminal box
whenever refrigerant leak is suspected around
compressor terminals.
6. Never attempt to repair a soldered connection
while refrigerant system is under pressure.

Failure to follow this warning result in personal injury
or death.
The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes and NEC ANSI/NFPA 70 (American
National Standards Institute/National fire Protection

WARNING
!
PERSONAL INJURY AND ENVIRONMENTAL
HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Wear approved safety glasses and leather gloves when
handling refrigerants.
Relieve pressure and recover all refrigerant before
system repair or final unit disposal.
Keep torches and other ignition sources away from
refrigerants and oils.
3. Perform the following inspections:
a. Inspect for shipping and handling damages such as
broken lines, loose parts, or disconnected wires,
etc.
b. Inspect for oil at all refrigerant tubing connections
and on unit base. Detecting oil generally indicates
a refrigerant leak. Leak- - test all refrigerant tubing
connections using electronic leak detector, halide
torch, or liquid- - soap solution.
c. Inspect all field- - wiring and factory- - wiring
connections. Ensure all connections are completed
and tight. Ensure all electrical wires are not in
contact with refrigerant tubing or sharp edges.
d. Inspect coil fins. If damaged during shipping and
handling, carefully straighten fins with a fin comb.
4. Verify the following conditions:
a. Ensure that condenser- - fan blades are correctly
positioned in fan orifice. See Condenser- - Fan
Adjustment section for more details.
b. Ensure all air filters are in place.
c. Ensure that condensate drain trap is filled with
water to ensuring proper drainage.
d. Ensure that all tools and miscellaneous loose parts
have been removed.

START- - UP, GENERAL

IMPORTANT: Follow the base unit's start-up sequence
as described in the unit's installation instructions:
In addition to the base unit start-up, there are a few steps
needed to properly start-up the controls. RTU-OPEN's
Service Test function should be used to assist in the base
unit start-up and also allows verification of output
operation. Controller configuration is also part of start-up.
This is especially important when field accessories have
been added to the unit. The factory pre-configures options
installed at the factory. There may also be additional
installation steps or inspection required during the start-up
process.
