PRE-START-UP

WARNING: Failure to observe the following warn-
ings could result in serious personal injury.
1. Follow recognized safety practices and wear
protective goggles when checking or servicing
refrigerant system.
2. Do not operate compressor or provide any elec-
tric power to unit unless compressor terminal
cover is in place and secured.
3. Do not remove compressor terminal cover until
all electrical sources are disconnected.
4. Relieve all pressure from system before touch-
ing or disturbing anything inside terminal box
if refrigerant leak is suspected around compres-
sor terminals.
5. Never attempt to repair soldered connection
while refrigerant system is under pressure.
6. Do not use torch to remove any component. Sys-
tem contains oil and refrigerant under pres-
sure. To remove a component, wear protective
goggles and proceed as follows:
a. Shut off electrical power and then gas to
unit.
b. Recover refrigerant to relieve all pressure
from system using both high and low-
pressure ports.
c. Cut component connection tubing with tub-
ing cutter and remove component from
unit.
d. Carefully unsweat remaining tubing stubs
when necessary. Oil can ignite when
exposed to torch flame.
Proceed as follows to inspect and prepare the unit for initial

start-up:

1. Remove all access panels.
2. Read and follow instructions on all WARNING, CAU-
TION, and INFORMATION labels attached to, or
shipped with, unit.
3. Make the following inspections:
a. Inspect for shipping and handling damages such
as broken lines, loose parts, or disconnected
wires, etc.
b. Inspect for oil at all refrigerant tubing connec-
tions and on unit base. Detecting oil generally
indicates a refrigerant leak. Leak-test all refrig-
erant tubing connections using electronic leak
detector, halide torch, or liquid-soap solution.
c. Inspect all field-wiring and factory-wiring con-
nections. Be sure that connections are completed
and tight. Be sure that wires are not in contact
with refrigerant tubing or sharp edges.
d. Inspect coil fins. If damaged during shipping and
handling, carefully straighten fins with a fin
comb.
4. Verify the following conditions:
a. Make sure that condenser-fan blade are correctly
positioned in fan orifice. See Condenser-Fan
Adjustment section on page 53 for more details.
b. Make sure that air filter(s) is in place.
c. Make sure that condensate drain trap is filled
with water to ensure proper drainage.
d. Make sure that all tools and miscellaneous loose
parts have been removed.
I. UNIT PREPARATION
Make sure that unit has been installed in accordance with
these installation instructions and applicable codes. Make
sure that Start-Up Checklist, located on back page of this
booklet, has been completed and filled out.
II. RETURN-AIR FILTERS
Make sure correct filters are installed in filter tracks (see Tables
1A and 1B). Do not operate unit without return-air filters.
III. OUTDOOR-AIR INLET SCREENS
Outdoor-air inlet screens must be in place before operating
unit.
IV. COMPRESSOR MOUNTING
Compressors are internally spring mounted. Do not loosen or
remove compressor holddown bolts. On 580F150 and 151
units, remove the tiedown bands that hold the compressors
together.
V. INTERNAL WIRING
Check all electrical connections in unit control boxes.
Tighten as required. Ensure wiring does not come into direct
contact with refrigerant tubing.
VI. GAS PIPING
Check gas piping for leaks.
WARNING: Disconnect gas piping from unit when
leak testing at pressure greater than
sures greater than
resulting in hazardous condition. If gas valve is sub-
jected to pressure greater than
replaced before use. When pressure testing field-
supplied gas piping at pressures of
unit connected to such piping must be isolated by man-
ually closing the gas valve.
VII. REFRIGERANT SERVICE PORTS
To service refrigerant service ports, remove compressor
access panel. Each unit system has 3 Schrader-type service
gage ports: one on the suction line, one on the liquid line, and
one on the compressor discharge line. Be sure that caps on
the ports are tight. The Schrader-type valve on the discharge
line is located under the low-pressure switch. Another valve
is located on the discharge line underneath the high-
pressure switch. It is screwed on a Schrader fitting but there
is no Schrader core.
VIII. HIGH FLOW VALVES
Located on the compressor hot gas and suction tubes are
high flow valves. Large black plastic caps distinguish these
valves with O-rings located inside the caps. These valves can
not be accessed for service in the field. Ensure the plastic
caps are in place and tight or the possibility of refrigerant
leakage could occur.
IX. COMPRESSOR ROTATION
On 3-phase units with scroll compressors, it is important to
be certain compressor is rotating in the proper direction. To
determine whether or not compressor is rotating in the
proper direction:
1. Connect service gages to suction and discharge pres-
sure fittings.
2. Energize the compressor.
3. The suction pressure should drop and the discharge
pressure should rise, as is normal on any start-up.
