PA4G: Installation Instructions
SYMPTOM
Compressor and outdoor fan will not start
Compressor will not start but condenser fan runs
Three-phase scroll compressor (size 30-
60 unit) has a low pressure differential
Compressor cycles (other than normally
satisfying) cooling/heating calls
Compressor operates continuously
Excessive head pressure
Head pressure too low
Excessive suction pressure
Suction pressure too low
Manufacturer reserves the right to change, at any time, specifications and designs without notice and without obligations.
