Check the unit nameplate before unloading to be sure it agrees with the power supply available. Units are shipped FOB factory and McQuay is not responsible for physical damage after the unit leaves the factory.
Most operational, equipment protection, and starting controls are located in the unit control box. The fan deck with the condenser fans and motors can be removed from the top of the unit. ACZ 010A through 039A IOMM ACZ1...

Vibration Isolators Vibration isolators are recommended for all roof-mounted installations or wherever vibration transmission is a consideration. The isolators can be purchased from McQuay by the part numbers shown in the table. The unit should be initially on shims or blocks at the listed free height.

Figure 5, Flow Switch Installation flow is interrupted. A flow switch is available from McQuay (part number 017503300). It is a “paddle” type switch and adaptable to pipe sizes down to 1 1/4” (32mm) nominal. Certain minimum flow rates are required to close the switch and are listed in Table 2.
Suction Lines McQuay recommends the use of ASHRAE for guidelines in sizing and routing piping with one exception. See the 1998 ASHRAE Handbook Refrigeration Edition, Chapter 2 for tables and guidelines.

Long Vertical Riser Installation Where job conditions require refrigerant gas lifts of more than 25 feet, McQuay recommends the installation of a short trap half-way up the riser or at not more than 20 feet intervals. These traps are required to capture and hold small quantities of oil during off cycles.

Verify superheat temperature is at the factory setting of 8 to 12 degrees F (4.4 to 6.7 degrees C). After system performance has stabilized, complete the current ACZ Start-Up Form (obtainable from the local McQuay sales office) to establish inception of warranty benefits. Return the form to McQuay International through your sales representative.
Sequence of Operation The following sequence of operation is typical for Models ACZ 010A through ACZ 039A. It can vary depending upon options. Start-Up With the control circuit power on, 115V power is applied through the control circuit fuse F1 to the compressor crankcase heaters, the compressor motor protections and the primary of the 24V control circuit transformer.
