    temperature and pressure are increased. The hot refrigerant gas condenses to liquid as heat is transferred to outdoor air drawn across the condenser by the condenser fan. Liquid refrigerant is metered into the evaporator to repeat the cycle. Heating Mode A wall-mounted thermostat controls the heating cycle of models which incorporate resistance heating ele- ments.
  • Page 9 The Coastal Environmental Package includes: • Corrosion resistant fasteners • Sealed or partially sealed condenser fan motor • Protective coating applied to all exposed internal copper and metal in the condenser section • Protective coating on the condenser coil (Luvata Insitu®) contains ES2 (embedded stainless steel pigment) technology.
  • Page 10 Three Phase Voltage Monitor Continuously measures the voltage of each of the three phases. The monitor separately senses low and high voltage, voltage unbalance including phase loss and phase reversal. An LED indicator glows when all voltages are acceptable. Automatically resets when voltages and phases are within operating tolerances.
  • Page 11: Electrical Operation

    Electrical Operation The compressor and condenser fan are energized with a contactor controlled by a 24 VAC pilot signal. Some compressors incorporate an internal PTC crankcase heater that functions as long as primary power is available. The heater drives liquid refrigerant from the crankcase and prevents loss of lubrication caused by oil dilution.

    Power The ICE PCB requires 24 VAC to operate. When the board is sufficiently powered, the “PWR” status light on the PCB illuminates “Green.” If there is insufficient power to the board, the “STATUS 1” and “STATUS 2” flashes continuously. Insufficient power to the board will result in no outputs being energized.

  • Page 22: Figure 9. Communications Setup

    Communication The ICE PCB comes equipped with MODBUS communication standard. There are 2 adjacent MODBUS communication ports connected in parallel. That is, both ports transmit the same information. The dif- ference between the ports is the physical connection. One port is for RS-485 (3 wire shielded cable is recommended) and the other port is RJ-11.

All inputs on the Controller go through a 5 seconds Time-On Delay to prevent nuisance request. Compressor Outputs go through 5 seconds staggered Time On delay to prevent nuisance tripping of breaker due to the inrush associated with these large inductive loads.
  • Page 25 and the indoor fan remains on continuously but the outdoor fan cycles based on head pressure. The Fan Cycle Control Switch (Low Ambient Control Switch) closes at 400 PSIG to set the “FCC IN” input High which in turn outputs a speed proportional to the “OFM Speed” setting on the board or by MODBUS.

The fault will only be active when the High-Pressure Switch (Normally Closed) opens during a request for Cooling. The first time this fault condition occurs, the system cuts the compressor off WITHOUT locking out.

Newer HVAC controllers sunch as the CommStat do not require unit phasing. However, if other devices are connected to the control system, phasing of the air conditioner is required. Earlier models; i.e., LL357, LL357A, LL357D2 require the unit to be properly phased.

    Chapter 5 Troubleshooting Overview A comprehensive understanding of the operation of the ICE air conditioner is a prerequisite to trouble- shooting. Please read the Chapter 1 for basic information about the unit. ICE air conditioners are thoroughly tested before they are shipped from the factory. Although unlikely, it is possible that a defect may escape undetected, or damage may have occurred during transportation.

    1. Start-Up Voltage: Measure the voltage at the compressor contactor during start-up. The voltage must exceed the minimum shown in Table 5, section 2.2, or compressor failure is likely. A low voltage condition must be corrected. 2. Running Amperage: Connect a clip-on type ammeter to the (common) lead to the compressor. Turn on the supply voltage and energize the unit.
