IMPORTANT INFORMATION Pride and workmanship go into every product to provide our customers with quality products. It is possible, however, that during its lifetime a product may require service. Products should be serviced only by a qualified service technician who is familiar with the safety procedures required in the repair and who is equipped with the proper tools, parts, testing instruments and the appropriate service manual.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION SAFE REFRIGERANT HANDLING While these items will not cover every conceivable situation, they should serve as a useful guide. WARNING EFRIGERANTS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR. OXYGEN IN YOUR LUNGS OR IN ANY ENCLOSED SPACE. POSSIBLE DIFFICULTY IN BREATHING OR DEATH: •...
PRODUCT DESIGN LOCATION & CLEARANCES In installations where the unit is installed above ground level and not serviceable from the ground (Example: Roof Top in- stallations) the installer must provide a service platform for the service person with rails or guards in accordance with local codes or ordinances.
COMPRESSORS The *PH15 4 and 5 ton M series package heat pump units use a two-stage scroll compressor. The two-step modulator has an internal unloading mechanism that opens a bypass port in the first compression pocket, effectively reducing the displace- ment of the scroll.
PRODUCT DESIGN ELECTRICAL WIRING The units are designed for operation at the voltages and hertz as shown on the rating plate. All internal wiring is complete. Ensure the power supply to the compressor contactor is brought to the unit as shown on the supplied unit wiring diagram. The 24V wiring must be connected between the unit control panel and the room thermostat.
SYSTEM OPERATION COOLING The refrigerant used in the system is R-410A. It is a clear, colorless, non-toxic and non-irritating liquid. R-410A is a 50:50 blend of R-32 and R-125. The boiling point at atmospheric pressure is -62.9°F. A few of the important principles that make the refrigeration cycle possible are: heat always flows from a warmer to a cooler body.
Each ECM blower motor has been preprogrammed for opera- tion at 4 distinct airflow levels when operating in Cooling/ Heat Pump mode or Electric Heat mode. These 4 distinct levels may also be adjusted slightly lower or higher if de- sired.

SERVICING S-1 CHECKING VOLTAGE WARNING 1. Remove doors, control panel cover, etc. from unit being tested. With power ON: WARNING LINE VOLTAGE NOW PRESENT. 2. Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage across terminals L1 and L2 of the contactor for single phase units, and L3, for 3 phase units.
SERVICING S-2 CHECKING WIRING WARNING 1. Check wiring visually for signs of overheating, damaged insulation and loose connections. 2. Use an ohmmeter to check continuity of any suspected open wires. 3. If any wires must be replaced, replace with comparable gauge and insulation thickness.
SERVICING S-4 CHECKING TRANSFORMER AND CONTROL CIRCUIT A step-down transformer (208/240 volt primary to 24 volt sec- ondary) is provided with each package unit. This allows ample capacity for use with resistance heaters. WARNING 1. Remove control panel cover or etc. to gain access to trans- former.
(Three-phase) S-11 CHECKING LOSS OF CHARGE PROTECTOR (Heat Pump Models) The loss of charge protector senses the pressure in the liquid line and will open its contacts on a drop in pressure. The low pressure control will automatically reset itself with a rise in pressure.
SERVICING These capacitors have a 15,000 ohm, 2 watt resistor wired across its terminals. The object of the resistor is to discharge the capacitor under certain operating conditions, rather than having it discharge across the closing of the contacts within the switching device such as the Start Relay, and to reduce the chance of shock to the servicer.
SERVICING S-16 CHECKING MOTORS S-16B CHECKING FAN AND BLOWER MOTOR (ECM MOTORS) APH15 M Series Only An ECM is an Electronically Commutated Motor which offers many significant advantages over PSC motors. The ECM has near zero rotor loss, synchronous machine operation, variable speed, low noise, and programmable air flow.
SERVICING S-16C CHECKING ECM MOTOR WINDINGS APH15 M Series Only WARNING 1. Disconnect the 5-pin and the 16-pin connectors from the ECM power head. 2. Remove the 2 screws securing the ECM power head and separate it from the motor. 3.
SERVICING If the compressor terminal PROTECTIVE COVER and gasket (if required) is not properly in place and secured, there is a remote possibility if a terminal vents, that the vaporous and liquid discharge can be ignited, spouting flames several feet, causing potentially severe or fatal injury to anyone in its path.
SERVICING 2. Identify the leads and using a Megger, Hi-Potential Ground Tester, or other suitable instrument which puts out a volt- age between 300 and 1500 volts, check for a ground sepa- rately between each of the three leads and ground (such as an unpainted tube on the compressor).
SERVICING S-18 TESTING CRANKCASE HEATER Note: Not all compressors use crankcase heaters. The crankcase heater must be energized a minimum of four (4) hours before the compressor is operated. Crankcase heaters are used to prevent migration or accumula- tion of refrigerant in the compressor crankcase during the off cycles and prevents liquid slugging or oil pumping on start up.
SERVICING WARNING 1. Disassemble and remove the heating element(s). 2. Visually inspect the heater assembly for any breaks in the wire or broken insulators. 3. Using an ohmmeter, test the element for continuity - no reading indicates the element is open. Replace as neces- sary.
SERVICING Moisture chemically reacts with the refrigerant and oil to form corrosive hydrofluoric and hydrochloric acids. These attack motor windings and parts, causing breakdown. The equipment required to thoroughly evacuate the system is a high vacuum pump, capable of producing a vacuum equiva- lent to 25 microns absolute and a thermocouple vacuum gauge to give a true reading of the vacuum in the system NOTE: Never use the system compressor as a vacuum pump...
SERVICING NOTE: R410A should be drawn out of the storage container or drum in liquid form due to its fractionation properties, but should be "Flashed" to its gas state before entering the system. There are commercially available restriction devices that fit into the system charging hose set to accomplish this.
SERVICING S-106 OVERFEEDING Overfeeding by the expansion valve results in high suction pres- sure, cold suction line, and possible liquid slugging of the com- pressor. If these symptoms are observed: 1. Check for an overcharged unit by referring to the cooling performance charts in the servicing section.
SUBCOOLING = SAT. LIQUID TEMP. - LIQUID LINE TEMP. Heat Pump - Heating Cycle The proper method of charging a heat pump in the heat mode is by weighing the charge according to the total charge listed on the rating plate.

SERVICING S-110 CHECKING EXPANSION VALVE OPERATION 1. Remove the remote bulb of the expansion valve from the suction line. 2. Start the system and cool the bulb in a container of ice water, closing the valve. As you cool the bulb, the suction pressure should fall and the suction temperature will rise.
SERVICING NOTE: The Flushing Method using R-11 refrigerant is no longer approved by Goodman Manufacturing Company, L.P. ® Suction Line Drier Clean-Up Method The POE oils used with R410A refrigerant is an excellent sol- vent. In the case of a burnout, the POE oils will remove any burnout residue left in the system.
SERVICING S-200 CHECKING EXTERNAL STATIC PRESSURE The minimum and maximum allowable duct static pressure is found in the Technical Information Manual. Too great of an external static pressure will result in insuffi- cient air that can cause icing of the coil, whereas too much air can cause poor humidity control, and condensate to be pulled off the evaporator coil causing condensate leakage.
