To Use the Cooling Charging Chart
Use the outdoor air temperature, saturated suction temperature and
saturated condensing temperature (available on the ComfortLink
display), and find the intersection point on the cooling charging
chart. If intersection point is above the line, carefully recover some
of the refrigerant. If intersection point is below the line, carefully
add refrigerant.
NOTE: Indoor-air cfm must be within normal operating range of
unit.
In order to determine which charging chart to use, the technician
can verify the evaporator configuration of the unit (High Cap or
Std Cap) by counting the number of rows on the installed evapora-
tor. Use Table 120 to identify the correct unit configuration for re-
frigerant charging.

Units With Humidi-MiZer Adaptive Dehumidification System
NOTE: All circuits must be running in normal cooling mode. In-
door airflow must be within specified air quantity limits for cool-
ing. All outdoor fans must be on and running at normal speed.
Use the following procedure to adjust charge on Circuit B of Hu-
midi-MiZer equipped units:
1.
Start all compressors and outdoor fans. Allow unit to run
for 5 minutes.
2.
Switch system to run in a Dehumidification mode for
5 minutes by switching RHV to ON through the Service
Test function (Service Test
3.
At the end of the 5-minute period, switch back into Cool-
ing mode through the Service Test function (Service
Test
COOL
RHV) by switching RHV to OFF.
4.
Using the cooling charging charts provided (Fig. 56-93), add
or remove refrigerant until conditions of the chart are met. As
conditions get close to the point on the chart, add or remove
charge in 1/4 lb increments until complete. See paragraph "To
Use the Cooling Charging Chart" for additional instructions.
5.
If a charge adjustment was necessary in Step 4, then repeat
the steps in this paragraph (starting with Step 2) until no
charge adjustment is necessary. When no more charge
adjustment is necessary after switching from a Dehumidi-
fication Mode to a Cooling Mode (Steps 2 and 3), then the
charge adjustment procedure is complete.

Gas System Adjustment (48P Only)

TWO-STAGE GAS VALVE ADJUSTMENT
The gas valve opens and closes in response to the unit control.
When power is supplied to valve terminals D1 and C2, the main
valve opens to its preset position.
The regular factory setting is stamped on the valve body
(3.3 in. wg).

To adjust regulator:
1.
Set thermostat at setting for no call for heat.
2.
Switch main gas valve to OFF position.
3.
Remove 1/8 in. pipe plug from manifold or gas valve pres-
sure tap connection. Install a suitable pressure-measuring
device.
4.
Switch main gas valve to ON position.
5.
Set thermostat at setting to call for heat.
6.
Remove screw cap covering regulator adjustment screw
(see Fig. 94).
7.
Turn adjustment screw clockwise to increase pressure or
counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
8.
Once desired pressure is established, set thermostat setting
for no call for heat, turn off main gas valve, remove pres-
sure-measuring device, and replace 1/8 in. pipe plug and
screw cap.

MODULATING GAS VALVE ADJUSTMENT
The modulating gas valve is an electrically operated valve con-
trolled by a 0-20 vdc input directly to valve terminals or from an
external controller. The modulating gas valve is installed down-
stream of a separate pressure regulator, such as a 2-stage gas
valve. See Fig. 95.
Modulating
Gas Valve
Fig. 95 — Modulating Gas Valve Location
The modulating gas valve has both sides fitted for low fire adjust-
ment. When 0 vdc is applied at the connect terminals, the bypass
provides a minimum outlet pressure of 0.3 in. wg for 2.0 in. wg at
the gas regulator upstream the modulating valve (factory setting).
For low fire adjustment (see Fig. 96):
1.
Disconnect a wire from modulating valve connect terminals.
NOTE: Do not allow wire to come into contact with any
other part.
2.
Remove the left bypass cap.
3.
Turn adjustment screw using a small screwdriver to the
desired low fire adjustment.
NOTE: Clockwise screw rotation reduces flow rate. Do not
over-tighten.
