Chapter 1 Description & Specifications General Description The ICE CFH1012A line of environmental control units (ECU) is designed for the telecommunication cabinet and shelter. Below are some of the features of the unit. • The CFH1012A is available in a cooling capacity of 12,000 BTUH. •...
General Operation Refrigerant Cycle (Cooling Mode) The CFH1012A uses R-454B refrigerant in a conventional vapor-compression refrigeration cycle to transfer heat from air in an enclosed space to the outside. A supply blower assembly pulls indoor air across the evaporator. Liquid refrigerant passing through the evaporator is boiled into gas by heat removed from the air.
Electronic Control Board Mode of Operation Normal 24 VAC power must be continuously applied to “R” and “C”. Upon a call for cooling “Y” and with the high pressure switch (HPS) closed, the compressor will be energized. (Note: See the delay on make feature.) The compressor will remain energized during the 3 minute timed low pressure by-pass cycle.
High Pressure Switch The high pressure switch is mounted on the liquid line. It is electrically connected to a lockout circuit on the board which shuts down the system if the refrigerant pressure rises to 650 PSIG. This protects the unit if airflow through the condenser is blocked or if the outdoor fan motor fails. Although the contacts of the high pressure switch close when the refrigerant pressure falls to approxi- mately 450 PSIG, the system must be manually reset once the lockout circuit is activated.
Chapter 2 Installation WARNING Failure to observe and follow Warnings and Cautions and these Instructions could result in death, bodily injury or property damage. Read this manual and follow its instructions and adhere to all Cautions and Warnings in the manual and on the ICE unit. Equipment Inspection Concealed Damage Inspect all cartons and packages upon receipt for damage in transit Remove cartons and check for...
You must consider all of the following when choosing the installation site: 1. Evaporator Condensate Drainage. Condensate produced during operation must be discharged from the evaporator pan through the primary and/or secondary drain hoses. Make sure the condensate lines are free of any restrictions. Condenser Pan Drainage.

Other Optional Equipment: The package may include other factory-supplied items (optional) as follows: PART # DESCRIPTION 50123 Digital thermostat. 1 stage heat, 1 stage cool. 7 day programmable. Fan switch: Auto & On. Auto-change over. Keypad lockout. Non-volatile program memory. 50218 Digital, non-programmable thermostat.
Porting and Duct Work General Information Note: The following instructions are for general guidance only. Due to the wide variety of installa- tion possibilities, specific instructions will not be given. When in doubt, follow standard and accepted installation practices, or contact ICE for additional assistance. Minimum Airflow Requirements The duct system must be engineered to assure sufficient air flow through the CFH1012A, even under adverse conditions such as dirty filters, etc.
Figure 4. Wall Mounting Detail Mounting the Unit 1. Using an appropriate and safe lifting device, set the CFH1012A on the bottom support bracket mounted on the wall. You must stabilize the unit on the bracket with the lifting device or by some other means - the bracket alone is not sufficient.
Important All electrical work must meet the requirements of local codes and ordinances. Work should be done only by qualified persons. The CFH1012A units are provided with labeled power leads and an eight-conductor thermostat cable. High Voltage Wiring The high voltage wire provided with the CFH1012A can be replaced to eliminate wire nut connec- tions.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting Overview WARNING Failure to follow these instructions could result in death, severe personnel injury and/or property damage. A comprehensive understanding of the operation of the CFH1012A is a prerequisite to troubleshooting. Please read the Chapter 1 for basic information about the unit. ICE CFH1012As are thoroughly tested before they are shipped from the factory.
B. Unit runs for long periods or continu- 1. Dirty filter or reduced airflow 1. Check air filter(s). Check blower operation. Remove ously; cooling is insufficient. airflow restriction. 2. Low refrigerant. 2. Check for proper charge and possible refrigerant leak. 3.

2. Running Amperage: Connect a clip-on type ammeter to the (common) lead to the compressor. Turn on the supply voltage and energize the unit. The compressor will initially draw high amperage; it should soon drop to the RLA value or less. If the amperage stays high, check the motor winding resistances.
Chapter 5 Maintenance Scheduled Maintenance Repair and maintenance to electrical components shall include initial safety checks and component inspection procedures. If a fault exists that could compromise safety, then no electrical supply shall be connected to the circuit until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If the fault cannot be corrected immediately but it is necessary to continue operation, an adequate temporary solution shall be used.
Chapter 6 Service & Charging/Recovery Safety Precautions Service Prior to beginning work on systems containing FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS, safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimized. For repair to the REFRIGERATING SYSTEM, the following shall be completed prior to conducting work on the system. 1.
Charging Procedures In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be followed. 1. Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using charging equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimize the amount of refrigerant contained in them. 2.

10. The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of instructions concerning the equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of the flammable refrigerant. If in doubt, the manufacturer should be consulted. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall be available and in good working order.
Chapter 7 Decommissioning Decommissioning Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is completely familiar with the equipment and all its details. It is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are recovered safely. Prior to the task being carried out, an oil and refrigerant sample shall be taken in case analysis is required prior to re-use of recovered refrigerant.
