WARNING
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER TO
UNIT BEFORE SERVICING OR TESTING
COMPRESSORS
Compressors are single phase, 115 or 230/208 volt,
depending on the model unit. All compressor motors are
permanent split capacitor type using only a running capacitor
across the start and run terminal.
CHECKING COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY
The reason for compressor inefficiency is normally due to broken
or damaged suction and/or discharge valves, reducing the ability
of the compressor to pump refrigerant gas.
All compressors are internally spring mounted and externally
mounted on rubber isolators.
This condition can be checked as follows:
WINDING TEST
1. Install a piercing valve on the suction and discharge or
liquid process tube.
Remove compressor terminal box cover and disconnect wires
from terminals. Using an ohmmeter, check continuity across
the following: (See Figure 1)
2. Attach gauges to the high and low sides of the system.
3. Start the system and run a “cooling or heating
performance test.”
1. Terminal "C" and "S" - no continuity - open winding -
replace compressor.
If test shows:
2. Terminal "C" and "R" - no continuity - open winding -
replace compressor.
A. Below normal high side pressure
B. Above normal low side pressure
C. Low temperature difference across coil
3. Terminal "R" and "S" - no continuity - open winding -
replace compressor.
The compressor valves are faulty - replace the
compressor.
Figure 1
THERMAL OVERLOAD (External)
Some compressors are equipped with an external overload
which is located in the compressor terminal box adjacent to
the compressor body (See Figure 3.)
The overload is wired in series with the common motor
terminal. The overload senses both major amperage and
compressor temperature. High motor temperature or
amperage heats the disc causing it to open and break the
circuit to the common motor terminal.
Figure 3- External Overload
GROUND TEST
Use an ohmmeter set on its highest scale. Touch one lead to
the compressor body (clean point of contact as a good con-
nection is a must) and the other probe in turn to each com-
pressor terminal (see Figure 2.) If a reading is obtained, the
compressor is grounded and must be replaced.
14
Heat generated within the compressor shell is usually due to:
FAN MOTOR - TEST
1. Determine that capacitor is serviceable.
1. High amperage
2. Disconnect fan motor wires from fan speed switch or
system switch.
2. Low refrigerant charge
3. Frequent recycling
4. Dirty condenser
3. Apply "live" test cord probes on black wire and common
terminal of capacitor. Motor should run at high speed.
TERMINAL OVERLOAD - TEST
(Compressor - External Type)
4. Apply "live" test cord probes on red wire and common
terminal of capacitor. Motor should run at low speed.
1. Remove overload.
5. Apply "live" test cord probes on each of the remaining
wires from the speed switch or system switch to test
intermediate speeds. If the control is in the
"MoneySaver" mode and the thermostat calls for
cooling, the fan will start - then stop after approximately
2 minutes; then the fan and compressor will start
together approximately 2 minutes later.
2. Allow time for overload to reset before attempting to
test.
3. Apply ohmmeter probes to terminals on overload wires.
There should be continuity through the overload.
TERMINAL OVERLOAD (Internal)
Some model compressors are equipped with an internal
overload. The overload is embedded in the motor windings
to sense the winding temperature and/or current draw. The
overload is connected in series with the common motor
terminal.
Figure 5
Fan Motor
Should the internal temperature and/or current draw become
excessive, the contacts in the overload will open, turning off
the compressor. The overload will automatically reset, but
may require several hours before the heat is dissipated.
CHECKING THE INTERNAL OVERLOAD
(See Figure 4)
Figure 4

SYSTEM CONTROL PANEL- SQ Models (See Figure 6)
A five-position control switch is used to regulate the operation
of the fan motor and compressor. The compressor can be
operated with the fan operating at low, medium or high speed.
The fan motor can also be operated independently on medium
speed. See switch section as indicated on the decorative
control panel.
Figure 6
System Control Panel (SQ Models Only)
1. With no power to unit, remove the leads from the com-
pressor terminals.
2. Using an ohmmeter, test continuity between terminals
C-S and C-R. If no continuity, the compressor overload
is open and the compressor must be replaced.
FAN MOTOR
Asingle phase permanent split capacitor motor is used to drive
the evaporator blower and condenser fan.Aself-resetting over-
load is located inside the motor to protect against high tem-
perature and high amperage conditions. (See Figure 5)

MONEYSAVER® SWITCH (Rocker Switch- See Figure 8)
This rocker switch can be depressed to either YES or NO. In
the YES position you will get the most economical operation.
Both the fan and the compressor will cycle on and off together,
maintaining the selected temperature at a more constant level
and reducing the humidity more efficiently. This control will
only operate when the unit is in a cooling mode. In the NO
position, the fan will run constantly as long as the unit is in the
cooling mode. Disconnect leads from switch. Depress switch

Thermostat is used to cycle the compressor on and off at the
comfort level desired. The thermostat has a range from 60°
±2°F to 90° ±4°F, with a differential of 5°F. Turning the knob
clockwise lowers the indoor room temperature setting, while
turning the knob counter clockwise raises the indoor
temperature.
To maintain the comfort level desired, a cross ambient type
thermostat is used.The thermostat has a range from 65° ±2°F
to 87° ±3°F. The thermostat bulb is positioned in front of the
evaporator coil to sense the return air temperature. Thermo-
stat malfunction or erratic operation is covered in the trouble-
shooting section of this manual.

THERMOSTAT - Models ES, YS, EM, YM, EL, YL
(See Figure 32)
A cross ambient thermostat is used on all heat pump and
electric heat units. In addition to cycling the unit in a heating
or cooling operation, the thermostat will terminate the cooling
cycle in the event ice forms on the evaporator coil, in this
case the thermostat functions as a de-ice control. A resistor
(anticipator) is positioned within a plastic block to supply a
small amount of heat to the bulb area to prevent long "off
cycles" in the "Cool-Fan Auto" (MoneySaver) position (see
Figure 8.) Acurrent feedback through the fan motor windings
during "off cycle" completes the circuit to the resistor.
THERMOSTAT ("YQ" Model Only) (See Figure 31)
This thermostat is single pole-double throw, cross ambient
with a range of 60° to 92°F and a differential of ±2°F. Terminal
"2" is common.
24
In the heating cycle, the heat anticipator is energized to supply
a small amount of heat during the "on" cycle. This will open
the contacts in the thermostat prematurely to maintain a closer
differential between the "cut in" and "cut out" temperature.
The heat anticipator is energized in the heating mode
regardless of whether fan is placed in the automatic
(MoneySaver) or constant run position.

DEFROST THERMOSTAT (Pompa di calore Models Only)
(See Figure 35)
This thermostat is single pole - double throw with contacts
between terminals "2" and "3" closing on temperature rise
and contacts between terminals "2" and "1" closing on
temperature fall. When the contacts between terminals "2"
and "1" make, power is supplied to the heater element.
THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT
No attempt should be made to adjust thermostat. Due to the
sensitivity of the internal mechanism and the sophisticated
equipment required to check the calibration, it is suggested
that the thermostat be replaced rather than calibrated.
Thermostat bulb must be straight to insure proper
performance.
This control is dual purpose control that acts as an outdoor
thermostat and defrost control.
When the sensing bulb, attached to the condenser coil, senses
enough icing on the outdoor coil, it will interrupt power to the
compressor and supply power to the heating element until
the coil temperature reaches above 43°, then the heater will
shut off and the unit will resume operating in the reverse cycle
mode.
Figure 32
Thermostat
When the outdoor coil temperature drops below 20°, the unit
will operate in electric heat mode continuously until the outdoor
coil temperature rises above 43°.
The fan motor will not turn off when defrost occurs, and the 4-
way valve will not reverse.

THERMOSTAT BULB LOCATION
The position of the bulb is important in order for the thermostat
to function properly. The bulb of the thermostat should be
located approximately 45° to a maximum of 60° from
horizontal.Also, do not allow the thermostat bulb to touch the
evaporator coil. (See Figures 33 and 34)

the pointer will move to the "0" end of the scale and remain
there as long as the probes are connected.

CHECK VALVE (See Figure 39)
A unique two-way check valve is used on the reverse cycle
heat pumps. It is pressure operated and used to direct the
flow of refrigerant through a single filter drier and to the proper
capillary tube during either the heating or cooling cycle
Figure 40
Figure 39
One-way Check Valve
(Pompa di calore Models)
(TO OUTDOOR COIL)
(TO INDOOR COIL)
NOTE: The slide (check) inside the valve is made of teflon.
Should it become necessary to replace the check valve, place a
wet cloth around the valve to prevent overheating during the
brazing operation.
HEATING MODE (see Figure 41)
In the heating mode of operation, liquid refrigerant from the
indoor coil enters the heating check valve forcing the cooling
check valve shut. The liquid refrigerant is directed into the
liquid dryer after which the refrigerant is metered through the
heating capillary tubes to outdoor coils. (Note: liquid refriger-
ant will also be directed through the cooling capillary tubes in
a continuous loop during the heating mode).
CHECK VALVE OPERATION
In the cooling mode of operation, high pressure liquid enters the
check valve forcing the slide to close the opposite port (liquid
line) to the indoor coil. Refer to refrigerant flow chart. This directs
the refrigerant through the filter drier and cooling capillary tube
to the indoor coil.
Figure 41
In the heating mode of operation, high pressure refrigerant enters
the check valve from the opposite direction, closing the port (liquid
line) to the outdoor coil. The flow path of the refrigerant is then
through the filter drier and heating capillary to the outdoor coil.
Failure of the slide in the check valve to seat properly in either
mode of operation will cause flooding of the cooling coil. This is
due to the refrigerant bypassing the heating or cooling capillary
tube and entering the liquid line.
(TO OUTDOOR COIL)
(TO INDOOR COIL)
COOLING MODE (See Figure 40)
In the cooling mode of operation, liquid refrigerant from con-
denser (liquid line) enters the cooling check valve forcing the
heating check valve shut. The liquid refrigerant is directed
into the liquid dryer after which the refrigerant is metered
through cooling capillary tubes to evaporator. (Note: liquid
refrigerant will also be directed through the heating capillary
tubes in a continuous loop during the cooling mode).
HEAT PUMPS: REVERSING VALVE (See Figure 42)
A reversing valve is used to change the refrigerant flow within
the system to permit heating or cooling.
The reversing valve consists of a main valve body which houses
the slide and piston, plus a pilot valve which is activated by a
solenoid.
27
There are three tubes connected to one side of the main
valve body and one tube on the opposite side. The single
tube is connected to the compressor discharge line. The
center tube on the opposite side is the common suction line
to the compressor. The outside tubes are connected to the
indoor and outdoor coils.
air flow through the outdoor coil and allow the discharge
pressure to build in the system. Then switch the system from
heating to cooling.
If the valve is stuck in the heating position, block the air flow
through the indoor coil and allow discharge pressure to build
in the system. Then switch the system from heating to cooling.
The pivot valve is responsible for directing the refrigerant
flow to the indoor or outdoor coil. There are three small tubes
connected to the pilot valve body. The center pilot tube is the
common pilot tube and is connected to the center suction
line. The outside tubes are connected to each end of the
main valve body. The pilot valve consists of a needle valve
and spring.
Should the valve fail to shift in either position after increasing
the discharge pressure, replace the valve.
NOTE: When brazing a reversing valve into the system, it is
of extreme importance that the temperature of the valve does
not exceed 250° F at any time.
When the solenoid is de-energized, the spring tension closes
one pilot port while the other remains open. When the
solenoid is energized, the opposite end is closed. The piston
in the main valve is pressure operated and will always travel
in the direction of the open pilot tube port which provides a
path to the center tube. Pressure which will increase in the
opposite side of the valve will escape through a bleed port
located in each piston. When de-energized, the valve will be
in the cooling position.
Wrap the reversing valve with a large rag saturated with water.
"Re-wet" the rag and thoroughly cool the valve after each
brazing operation of the four joints involved.
The wet rag around the reversing valve will eliminate
conduction of heat to the valve body when brazing the line
connection.
SOLENOID COIL (Pompa di calore Models Only)
(See Figure 42)
The solenoid coil is an electromagnetic type coil mounted on
the reversing valve and is energized during the operation of
the compressor in the heating cycle.
Figure 42
Reversing Valve
Should the reversing valve fail to shift during the heating cycle,
test the solenoid coil.
TO TEST:
1. Disconnect power to unit.
2. Disconnect coil leads.
3. Attach probes of an ohmmeter to each coil lead and check
for continuity.

This will cause the coil to burn out.
When stuck in the mid-position, part of the discharge gas from
the compressor is directed back to the suction side, resulting
in excessively high suction pressure.

1. Recover all refrigerant and oil from the system.
HERMETIC COMPONENT REPLACEMENT
The following procedure applies when replacing components
in the sealed refrigeration circuit or repairing refrigerant leaks.
(Compressor, condenser, evaporator, capillary tube, refrigerant
leaks, etc.)
2. Remove compressor, capillary tube and filter drier
from the system.
1. Recover the refrigerant from the system at the process
tube located on the high side of the system by installing
a line tap on the process tube.Apply gauge from process
tube to EPA approved gauges from process tube to

Basically, troubleshooting and servicing rotary compressors
is the same as on the reciprocating compressor with only a
few exceptions.
5. Replace inoperative component, and always install a
new filter drier. Drift dry nitrogen through the system
when making these connections.
1. Because of the spinning motion of the rotary, the
mounts are critical. If vibration is present, check the
mounts carefully.
6. Pressurize system to 30 PSIG with proper refrigerant
and boost refrigerant pressure to 150 PSIG with dry

Proper refrigerant charge is essential to proper unit
operation. Operating a unit with an improper refrigerant
charge will result in reduced performance (capacity) and/or
efficiency. Accordingly, the use of proper charging methods
during servicing will insure that the unit is functioning as
designed and that its compressor will not be damaged.
METHOD OF CHARGING
The acceptable method for charging the RAC system is the
Weighed in Charge Method. The weighed in charge method
is applicable to all units. It is the preferred method to use, as
it is the most accurate.
The weighed in method should always be used whenever a
charge is removed from a unit such as for a leak repair,
compressor replacement, or when there is no refrigerant
charge left in the unit. To charge by this method, requires the
following steps:
Too much refrigerant (overcharge) in the system is just as
bad (if not worse) than not enough refrigerant
(undercharge). They both can be the source of certain
compressor failures if they remain uncorrected for any

NOTE: Units are to be inspected and serviced by qualified service personnel only.
1. Clean the unit air intake filter at least every 250 to 300 fan hours of operation or when the unit's indicator light is on if so
equipped. Clean the filters with a mild detergent in warm water and allow to dry thoroughly before reinstalling.
2. The indoor coil (evaporator coil), the outdoor coil (condenser coil) and base pan should be inspected periodically (yearly
or bi-yearly) and cleaned of all debris (lint, dirt, leaves, paper, etc.). Clean the coils and base pan with a soft brush and
compressed air or vacuum. If using a pressure washer, be careful not to bend the aluminium fin pack. Use a sweeping
up and down motion in the direction of the vertical aluminum fin pack when pressure cleaning coils. Cover all electrical
components to protect them from water or spray. Allow the unit to dry thoroughly before reinstalling it in the sleeve.
NOTE: Do not use a caustic coil cleaning agent on coils or base pan. Use a biodegradable cleaning agent and
degreaser.
Inspect the indoor blower housing, evaporator blade, condenser fan blade, and condenser shroud periodically (yearly or
bi-yearly) and clean of all debris (lint, dirt, mold, fungus, etc.) Clean the blower housing area and blower wheel with an
antibacterial / antifungal cleaner. Use a biodegradable cleaning agent and degreaser on condenser fan and condenser
shroud. Use warm or cold water when rinsing these items. Allow all items to dry thoroughly before reinstalling them.
3. Periodically (at least yearly or bi-yearly): inspect all control components, both electrical and mechanical, as well as the
power supply. Use proper testing instruments (voltmeter, ohmmeter, ammeter, wattmeter, etc.) to perform electrical
tests. Use an air conditioning or refrigeration thermometer to check room, outdoor and coil operating temperatures. Use
a sling psychrometer to measure wet bulb temperatures indoors and outdoors.
4. Inspect the surrounding area (inside and outside) to ensure that the units' clearances have not been compromised or
altered.
5. Inspect the sleeve and drain system periodically (at least yearly or bi-yearly) and clean of all obstructions and debris.
Clean both areas with an antibacterial and antifungal cleaner. Rinse both items thoroughly with water and ensure that
the drain outlets are operating correctly. Check the sealant around the sleeve and reseal areas as needed.
6. Clean the front cover when needed. Use a mild detergent. Wash and rinse with warm water. Allow it to dry thoroughly
before reinstalling it in the chassis.
