Compressor Crankcase Heaters; Symbio Controls - Trane Precedent YHJ072A Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

WARNING
Hazardous Voltage w/Capacitors!
Failure to disconnect power and discharge capacitors
before servicing could result in death or serious
injury.
Disconnect all electric power, including remote
disconnects and discharge all motor start/run
capacitors before servicing. Follow proper lockout/
tagout procedures to ensure the power cannot be
inadvertently energized. Verify with a CAT III or IV
voltmeter rated per NFPA 70E that all capacitors have
discharged.
1. Turn the field supplied disconnect switch that provides
power to the main power terminal block or to the "Line"
side of the optional factory mounted disconnect switch
to the "Off" position.
2. Connect the phase sequence indicator leads to the
terminal block or to the "Line" side of the optional
factory mounted disconnect switch as follows;
• Brown (phase A) to L1
• Orange (phase B) to L2
• Yellow (phase C) to L3
3. Close the field supplied main power disconnect switch
or circuit protector switch that provides the supply
power to the unit.
Note: Upon closing main power disconnect and the unit
mounted disconnect switch or circuit breaker,
the phase monitor will verify proper phasing. If
LED on face of the monitor is red, correct supply
power fault.
WARNING
Live Electrical Components!
Failure to follow all electrical safety precautions when
exposed to live electrical components could result in
death or serious injury.
When it is necessary to work with live electrical
components, have a qualified licensed electrician or
other individual who has been properly trained in
handling live electrical components perform these
tasks.
To prevent injury or death from electrocution, it is the
responsibility of the technician to recognize this hazard and
use extreme care when performing service procedures with
the electrical power energized.
4. Observe the ABC and CBA phase indicator lights on
the face of the sequencer. The ABC indicator light will
glow if the phase is ABC. If the CBA indicator light
glows, open the disconnect switch or circuit protection
switch and reverse any two power wires.
5. Restore the main electrical power and recheck the
phasing. If the phasing is correct, open the disconnect
switch or circuit protection switch and remove the
phase sequence indicator.

Compressor Crankcase Heaters

Each compressor can be equipped with a crankcase heater
(On some units the crankcase heater comes standard).
The proper operation of the crankcase heater is important
to maintain an elevated compressor oil temperature during
the "Off" cycle to reduce oil foaming during compressor
starts.
Oil foaming occurs when refrigerant condenses in the
compressor and mixes with the oil. In lower ambient
conditions, refrigerant migration to the compressor could
increase.
When the compressor starts, the sudden reduction in
crankcase pressure causes the liquid refrigerant to boil
rapidly causing the oil to foam. This condition could
damage compressor bearings due to reduced lubrication
and could cause compressor mechanical failures.
Before starting the unit in the "Cooling" mode, set the
system switch to the "Off" position and turn the main power
disconnect to the "On" position and allow the crankcase
heater to operate a minimum of 8 hours.
Before closing the main power disconnect switch, insure
that the "System" selection switch is in the "Off" position
and the "Fan" selection switch is in the "Auto" position.
Close the main power disconnect switch and the unit
mounted disconnect switch, if applicable.
Note: Upon closing main power disconnect and the unit
mounted disconnect switch or circuit breaker, the
phase monitor will verify proper phasing. If LED on
face of the monitor is red, correct supply power fault.

Symbio Controls

The Symbio™ 700 supports a Service Test Mode that can
be used to energize the various components of the system,
either to support general system startup tasks or to support
troubleshooting. The user can initiate Service Test Mode
through the controller user interfaces, including the Symbio
Service and Installation mobile application.
The modes shown below can be initiated. Depending on
the equipment configuration, the controller will energize the
