High-Pressure S witchJA High-pressure switch
isfactory-installed and located inthe compressor
discharge line internal to the outdoor unit. The
switch is designed to de-energize the system
when very high pressures occur during abnormal
conditions. Under normal conditions, the switch is
closed. If the discharge pressure rises above 575
psig, then the switch will open and de-energize
the outdoor unit. The switch will close again
once the discharge pressure decreases to 460
psig. Please note that the switch interrupts the
thermostat inputs to the unit. Thus, when the
switch opens and then closes, there will be a 5
minute short cycling delay before the outdoor
unit will energize.
Cooling -- Gradually lower the thermostat
temperature setpoint below the actual room
temperature and observe that the outdoor unit
and indoor blower energize. Feel the air being
circulated by the indoor blower and verify that
it is cooler than ambient temperature. Listen
for any unusual noises. If present, locate and
determine the source of the noise and correct
as necessary.
Heating -- If provided with heating equipment,
lower the thermostat setpoint temperature to the
lowest obtainable setting and set the thermostat
function switch to HEATING. The indoor blower
and outdoor unit should stop running. Increase
the setpoint temperature of the thermostat to
the maximum setting. Verify that the heating
equipment has been energized (i.e., fossil fuel
burner operating, etc.) and that the indoor blower
energizes after a short period of time. Feel the
air being circulated by the indoor blower and
verify that it is warmer than ambient temperature.
Listen for any unusual noises. If present, locate
and determine the source of the noise and cor-
rect as necessary.
NOTE: Other sources for heating (i.e.: electric
furnace, fossil fuel furnace, air handler with
electric heat options, etc.) that interface with
the unit should be functionally checked to verify
system operation and compatibility. Refer to the
installation instructions for this equipment and
perform a functional checkout in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
Adjustment of Refrigerant Charge:
CAUTION:
Split system air conditioner equipment
contains liquid and gaseous refrigerant
under pressure. Adjustment of
refrigerant charge should only be
attempted by qualified, trained
personnel thoroughly familiar with the
equipment. Under no circumstances
should the homeowner attempt to
install and/or service this equipment.
Failure to comply with this warning
could result in equipment damage,
personal injury, or death.
NOTE: The following Refrigerant Charging
Charts are applicable to matched assemblies
of our equipment and at listed airflows for the
indoor coil. These units are matched with TXV
equipped indoor coils. Assemblies of indoor coils
and outdoor units not listed are not recommended
and deviations from rated airflows or non-listed
equipment combinations may require modifica-
tions to the expansion device(s) and refrigerant
charging procedures for proper and efficient
system operation.
Refrigerant Charging Chart -- Refer to
Refrigerant Charging Charts for correct system
charging.
Optional Equipment -- A functional checkout
should be performed in accordance with the
checkout procedures supplied with the
equipment.
