BULLDOG Horizontal SpaceKeeper – Installation Operation Maintenance Manual COOLING OPERATION: Each heat pump has a water-cooled refrigeration circuit that operates only during the cooling mode. To enable cooling operation, MCO thermostats must be set to “Cool” mode. The ACO thermostats should be set to “Auto” or cool mode. In order for the cooling operation to become activated, the suite temperature must rise above the cool set-point temperature.

BULLDOG Horizontal SpaceKeeper – Installation Operation Maintenance Manual RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Set the thermostat fan to ON for continuous fan operation while your suite is occupied. This will help to ensure that the temperature is uniform throughout the suite. 2. In order to provide space conditioning while you are away, keep the thermostat system switch in the appropriate heat or cool mode.
BULLDOG Horizontal SpaceKeeper – Installation Operation Maintenance Manual OPERATION (Detailed) CAUTION: To avoid fouled machinery, extensive unit clean up, and to maintain warranty, do not operate units without air filters in place, and do not operate units during the construction process. The BULLDOG Heat Pump provides year round cooling and heating as controlled by the unit thermostat.

BULLDOG Horizontal SpaceKeeper – Installation Operation Maintenance Manual SHUTDOWN OUTPUT The CGC board has an optional input terminal strip that allows for two types of remote shutdown. These are a) compressor shutdown and b) unit shutdown. The advantage of these inputs is that many units can be connected in parallel and when powered by an independent 24V AC signal, one or both of these actions can be implemented.

BULLDOG Horizontal SpaceKeeper – Installation Operation Maintenance Manual ALTERNATE FUNCTIONS Dehumidification cycle – When provided with an appropriate thermostat/humidistat, as well as dehumidification software and additional components, the CGC unit will provide space dehumidification. This is an optional feature. Two compressor units – All units larger than 5 tons include single speed belt drive fans. These twin compressor units are controlled individually through on board relays K4 and K6 (this is a specially programmed board that uses relay K6 to activate the second compressor, rather than it being used to activate high fan speed).
BULLDOG Horizontal SpaceKeeper – Installation Operation Maintenance Manual COMMISSION & START UP SYSTEM FLUSHING: Proper system cleaning and flushing is an important aspect of the commissioning and start up procedure for BULLDOG units. Ensure the system has been flushed properly. This prevents fouling of the unit’s heat exchangers.
