Outdoor Fans

Each fan is supported by a formed-wire mount bolted to the
fan deck and covered with a wire guard. Fan motors have
permanently lubricated bearings.
1. Shut off unit power supply. Install lockout tag.
2. Remove outdoor fan assembly (grille, motor, and
fan).
3. Loosen fan hub setscrews.
4. Adjust fan height as shown in Fig. 27.
5. Tighten setscrews to 84 in.-lb (949 N-cm).
6. Replace outdoor fan assembly.

Lubrication

FAN MOTORS

The fan motors have sealed bearings. No provisions are
made for lubrication.

COMPRESSOR

The compressor has its own oil supply. Loss of oil due to a
leak in the system should be the only reason for adding oil
after the system has been in operation.

Coil
Maintenance

Recommendation

Routine cleaning of coil surfaces is essential to maintain
proper operation of the unit. Elimination of contamination
and removal of harmful residues will greatly increase the life
of the coil and extend the life of the unit. The following main-
tenance and cleaning procedures are recommended as
part of the routine maintenance activities to extend the life of
the coil.

Table 15 — CADM Troubleshooting
RECOMMENDED TROUBLESHOOTING ACTION
Determine if both R and C module terminals are connected. Verify voltage in present at
module's R and C terminals.
NOTE: The CADM requires a constant nominal 24VAC power supply. The wiring to the
module's R and C terminals must be directly from the control transformer. The module
cannot receive its power from another device that will interrupt the 24VAC power supply.
See Fig. A-F in Appendix B for the CHS power wiring diagrams.
Determine if R and Y terminals are wired in reverse. Verify module's R and C terminals
have a constant source. See "NOTE" above for details on R and C wiring.
Verify Y terminal is wired properly per the CHS wiring diagram (see Fig. A-F in Appendix B).
Verify voltage at contactor coil falls below 0.5VAC when off. Verify 24VAC is present across
Y and C when thermostat demand signal is present.
If not, R and C are reverse wired.
Verify R and C terminals are supplied with 19-28VAC.
Verify Y terminal is connected to 24VAC at contactor coil. Verify voltage at contactor coil
falls below 0.5VAC when off.
Check that compressor T1 and T3 wires are through module's current sensing holes. Verify
Y terminal is connected to 24VAC at contactor coil. Verify voltage at contactor coil falls
below 0.5VAC when off.
Determine if module's Y terminal is connected. Verify Y terminal is connected to 24VAC at
contactor coil. Verify 24VAC is present across Y and C when thermostat demand signal is
present. If not, R and C are reverse wired. Verify voltage at contactor coil falls below
0.5VAC when off.

REMOVE SURFACE LOADED FIBERS

Surface loaded fibers or dirt should be removed with a vac-
uum cleaner. If a vacuum cleaner is not available, a soft
non-metallic bristle brush may be used. In either case, the
tool should be applied in the direction of the fins. Coil surfac-
es can be easily damaged (fin edges can be easily bent
over and damage the coating of a protected coil) if the tool
is applied across the fins.
NOTE: Use of a water stream, such as a garden hose,
against a surface loaded coil will drive the fibers and dirt into
the coil. This will make cleaning efforts more difficult. Sur-
face loaded fibers must be completely removed prior to
using low velocity clean water rinse.

PERIODIC CLEAN WATER RINSE

A periodic clean water rinse is very beneficial for coils that
are applied in coastal or industrial environments. However, it
is very important that the water rinse is made with very low
velocity water stream to avoid damaging the fin edges. Peri-
odic cleaning as described below is recommended.

ROUTINE CLEANING OF INDOOR COIL SURFACES

Periodic cleaning with Totaline
cleaner is essential to extend the life of coils. This cleaner is
available from Fast Parts as P/N 1178704 for one gallon
container, and P/N 1178705 for a 5 gallon container. It is
and
Cleaning
recommended that all coils, including standard aluminum,
pre-coated, copper/copper or e-coated coils be cleaned with
the Totaline environmentally sound coil cleaner as de-
scribed below. Coil cleaning should be part of the unit's reg-
ularly scheduled maintenance procedures to ensure long
life of the coil. Failure to clean the coils may result in re-
duced durability in the environment.
Specifications subject to change without notice.
CAUTION
PERSONAL INJURY AND UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury
or equipment damage.
Only approved cleaning is recommended.
