Protocol™ Installation and Service Manual Panel Removal Vertical Units At the top, a bracket in a channel supports each panel. At the bottom, each panel is held in place by two nuts. Remove the nuts at the bottom of the panel, then lift up and out. Horizontal Units At the top, a bracket in a channel supports each panel.
Protocol™ Installation and Service Manual Horizontal Units – Top Removal To remove the top assembly, first remove the front panels. Then remove the bracket screw at top center of each panel opening and above the control panel. Slide the top assembly forward until the back clips disengage.
Protocol™ Installation and Service Manual Rigging and Hoisting The installer is responsible for ensuring that the equipment used to move the Protocol™ is operated within its limits. Under no circumstances should the top of the unit or the outer panels be used for lifting or moving the unit. For strap rigging, run the straps under the top level of compressor mounting channel.
REFRIGERATION PIPING Important: Since Hussmann has no direct control over the installation, providing freeze-burst protection is the responsibility of the installing contractor. Always use a pressure regulator with a nitrogen tank. Do not exceed 2 pisg and vent lines when brazing. Do not exceed 350 psig for leak testing high side. Do not exceed 150 psig for leak testing low side.
Liquid Line 1. Take-offs to evaporators must exit the bottom of the liquid line. Provide an expansion loop for each evaporator take-off (minimum 3-inch diameter). 2. Offtime and Electric Defrost may be reduced by one size after one half the case load.
Protocol™ with 3-Pipe Gas Defrost Oil Return System Not shown When 3-pipe gas defrost is used, hot gas is piped from the discharge line, after the oil separator, to the cases. Solenoid valves are placed in both the suction and hot gas line so that each system can be tuned on or off by the controller.
Protocol™ with Heat Reclaim Oil Return System Not shown When heat reclaim (for water or air) is used with the Protocol™ a 3-Way Heat Reclaim Valve should be installed after the oil separator. A bleed line should be installed from the heat reclaim valve to the angle valve found in the suction header.
Protocol™ with Split Suction Oil Return System Not shown Split suction is used when two temperatures are required from the same Protocol™ unit. The use of split suction allows for greater efficiency due to the fact that the compressors are operating closer to the desired suction temperature.
Oil Cycle Discharge refrigerant carries droplets of oil from the compressor’s outlet. The Turba-Shed separates the oil from the refrigerant. The oil is stored in the Turba-shed until needed. The oil returns to the system through the high-pressure line and oil filter. The oil filter removes impurities from the oil.
Liquid Injection When operating at high compression ratios, injecting liquid partway through the compression process is a method of cooling the scroll compressor. Hussmann applies liquid injection on all units operating below 0 °F evaporating temperature, with the exception of the Low-temp high efficiency Protocol™. Each compressor has its own shutoff valve, injection solenoid valve, and supply hose.
Vapor Injection Another method of cooling the scroll compressor is to use vapor injection. Vapor Injection takes a small portion of liquid refrigerant from the main liquid line and runs it through a thermostatic expansion valve and a heat exchanger, which helps to ensure vapor is sent to the compressor as well as sub-cooling the main refrigerant before it goes to the TXV and evaporator in the case.

Important: Since Hussmann has no direct control over the installation, providing freeze-burst protection is the responsibility of the installing contractor. mandatory that glycol be added to the water loop before startup to prevent freezing. Use only non-ferrous metal or PVC for water loop piping.
Air Vent Valves Manual air vent valves are recommended. Air vent valves should be located at piping high points where air will tend to collect. Momentarily open these vents and release trapped air a few times during startup. Tie-Ins to Supply Headers Branch supply pipes SHOULD NOT tie into the bottom of main supply pipes.
Protocol™ Installation and Service Manual can provide corrosion protection. For most installations, 30% glycol by volume will also provide BURST protection to –20 °F. If the store location has particularly hard water, with a total hardness greater than 100 ppm, the water used to fill the loop should be softened or distilled.

Protocol™ Installation and Service Manual Satellite Short Cycle Control Relay The Satellite short cycle control relay is intended to prevent rapid cycling when the compressor goes into pumpdown mode. It is a single-shot time-delay relay. When the low pressure control opens on a decrease in pressure, the short cycle control relay becomes energized and starts timing.
Liquid Injection When operating at high compression ratios, injecting liquid partway through the compression process is a method of cooling the scroll compressor. Hussmann applies liquid injection on all units below 0 °F evaporating temperature. Each compressor has its own Direct Thermal Control (DTC) valve, which is an all-in-one injection solenoid that allows for a more energy efficient use of liquid.
Page 91
Protocol™ Installation and Service Manual will re-energize the solenoid when the condensing temperature reaches 65 °F. Consult Engineering representative if adjustment of the T-STAT control is required. FIELD PIPING & TXV SIZING Besides standard discharge lines, the liquid return line from the condenser must also be piped back to the unit when remote air-cooled units are used with low temp cases.
Protocol™ Installation and Service Manual Defrost Schedule Refrigeration Circuit Control The following circuits show the electrical connections during the refrigeration cycle. Power comes into the control board from X1A. The refrigeration solenoid valve and thermostat (if needed) are wired to the terminal pin. The unit cooler circuit is the same as a simple refrigeration circuit but it has an additional fan control circuit.
Hot Gas Control Board energizes the Aux Relay Coil, which de-energizes the Main Liquid Line Pressure Differential Solenoid. The valve reduces liquid supply line pressure. The Control Board also energizes the Defrost Relay coil, which open Hot Gas Solenoid valves and closes the Suction Solenoid valves.
Protocol™ Installation and Service Manual Special Case of Heat Reclaim with Hot Gas Defrost When you have the special case of heat reclaim with hot gas it is necessary to interlock the Main Liquid Line solenoid wiring with the heat reclaim valve wiring. This wiring will ensure that heat reclaim does not take place while defrost is occurring.
Protocol™ Installation and Service Manual Lighting Control Control Board energizes one output relay for each lighting circuit (PCO control can have up to two lighting circuits.) Each lighting circuit has a schedule which determines when the output is turned on and when the output turns off.
Protocol™ Installation and Service Manual Unit Cooler Fan Wiring The following drawing shows the wiring to control the fans in a unit cooler. Defrost termination by klixon may connect back to the controller relay board based on individual customer specs. See job specific board layout sheets and wiring diagrams for your individual installation.

Protocol™ Installation and Service Manual Wiring Optional Auto Dialer and In-Store Alarm When the In-Store Alarm box and Auto dialer are used together, the correct method for wiring the alarm signals from each Protocol™ is a continuous current loop fed around the store.
Important: Since Hussmann has no direct control over the installation, providing freeze-burst protection is the responsibility of the installing contractor. Know whether or not a circuit is open at the power supply. Remove all power before opening control panels. Note: SOME EQUIPMENT HAS MORE THAN ONE POWER SUPPLY.

Pull a vacuum to 1500 microns. If the vacuum fails to hold, determine the cause and correct. Begin again and pull a vacuum to 1500 microns. Break the vacuum with refrigerant vapor to a pressure of about 2 psig. Do not exceed the micron gauge transducer’s maximum pressure surge to the transducer of the micron gauge.
Because the HFC refrigerants are less dense than the refrigerants they replace, they will tend to “flash” or bubble more easily, even when the correct charge is in the system. Therefore, charge only until the sight glass on the receiver is covered with refrigerant when the system is operating in a balanced refrigeration mode.
7. Momentarily turn ON compressor breaker #1 and verify correct pumping direction. Check all compressors before switching any wires. If all compressors are rotating backwards, change two legs at the field side of the convenience switch. For individual compressor, change the Legs on the load side of the compressor contactor.
Protocol™ Installation and Service Manual Electronic oil regulators monitor oil levels. The units are powered by a 24V power supply. When the oil level in the compressor drops below ½ sightglass, the fill light comes on and the oil solenoid is energized. If after 90 seconds the oil level does not rise above ½ sightglass, the unit opens the compressor control circuit.
3-Pipe Gas Defrost Application 3-pipe gas defrost is designed to operate with different defrost schedules and durations. Only one lineup or no more than 20 percent of the load should go into defrost at one time. As a lineup goes into defrost, the other cases will be fed liquid from the Protocol™ and from the lineup in defrost.
The control board will de-energize the solenoid (suction or liquid) when a defrost occurs while simultaneously energizing the relay controlling the defrost breakers. When the defrost relay is energized the POWERLINK™ breakers will receive a momentary charge or pulse from a capacitor in its POWERLINK™ Power Supply (PPS).
Protocol™ Installation and Service Manual Under split suction configuration, this input provides the electronic controller pressure signal used to cycle compressors on and off. The split suction configuration may contain multiple compressors (2 or more) or a single compressor (low or high end satellite). When tow or more compressors are attached to the second suction header, you will need to program the following: Split Suction Operation (Enabled/Disabled), Number of Compressors, Split Suction Setpoint, High Alarm, Low Alarm, Range.
Program the ID# for the Auto Dialer. This ID# will be used to indicate which store is in alarm. If the customer wishes the auto dialer to be muted during the verbal alarm message, the MUTE key must be pressed first and then the store ID# will follow (see page 21 and 22 in Owners Manual).
Electrical Questions Problem A: The compressor will not turn ON or will not run. Step A1 Visually observe if the Alarm on the control board is ON. If it ON, go to step A2. If it is OFF, go to Step A9. Step A2 Access the protocol and enter the Force Comp On submenu.
Page 114
Step A9 At this point, it is assumed that the electronic control board is in switchback (see page 6-6 for details describing switchback). If the compressor you are trying to turn ON is not wired to the switchback control circuit (refer to the supplied customized wiring diagram), you will need to investigate the cause of this switchback condition and correct the existing problem.

Step 2 Proceed to the Status Menu for this Protocol™. Observe the operation of compressors turning ON, and watch for suction pressure to come down. If the suction pressure does not come down when a compressor comes on, it is an indication that some external device is keeping the compressors off line (high pressure safety, oil safety, phase monitor, etc.) You will need to go to this Protocol™...
