(ACCA) or equivalent.

CONDENSING UNIT
The condenser air is pulled through the condenser coil by a
direct drive propeller fan. This condenser air is then discharged
out of the top of the cabinet. These units are designed for free
air discharge, so no additional resistance, like duct work, shall
be attached.

The suction and liquid line connections on present models are


of the sweat type for field piping with refrigerant type copper.
Front seating valves are factory installed to accept the field run
copper. The total refrigerant charge for a normal installation is
factory installed in the condensing unit.

DX16TC, DZ16TC, DX18TC, DZ18TC models are available in


2 through 5 ton sizes and use R-410A refrigerant. They are FIGURE A

There are a number of design characteristics which are different


from the traditional reciprocating and/or scroll compressors.

"Ultratech" Series scroll compressors will not have a discharge


thermostat. Some of the early model scroll compressors re-
quired discharge thermostat.

"Ultratech" Series scroll compressors use "POE" or polyolester


oil which is NOT compatible with mineral oil based lubricants
like 3GS. "POE" oil must be used if additional oil is required.

The DX16TC, DZ16TC, DX18TC, DZ18TC series split system 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 dis-
placement of the scroll. The opening and closing of the bypass
port is controlled by an internal electrically operated solenoid.

As this motion occurs, the pockets between the two forms are
slowly pushed to the center of the two scrolls while simulta-
neously being reduced in volume. When the pocket reaches
the center of the scroll form, the gas, which is now at a high
pressure, is discharged out of a port located at the center.

During compression, several pockets are being compressed


simultaneously, resulting in a very smooth process. Both the
suction process (outer portion of the scroll members) and the
discharge process (inner portion) are continuous.

Some design characteristics of the Compliant Scroll compres-


sor are:

DEFROST CYCLE - COMFORTNET™ MODELS


The defrosting of the outdoor coil is jointly controlled by the
UC PCB and the outdoor coil temperature (OCT) sensor.

The OCT sensor is clamped to a feeder tube entering the out-


door coil. Defrost timing periods of 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes
may be selected via the dipswitch settings on the UC PCB. In a
communicating system, the defrost timing periods can also be
selected in the communicating thermostat user menu. During
operation, if the coil temperature is low enough (approximate-
ly 31°F), the microprocessor will accumulate the compressor
run time. When the total compressor run time reaches 30, 60,
90 or 120 minutes, and there is a call for heat, the PCB will
initiate a defrost cycle. When the microprocessor detects the
coil temperature to be high enough (approximately 75°F), or
10 minutes of maximum defrost cycle time has elapsed, which-
ever occurs first, the defrost cycle is terminated and the timing
period is reset. The field service personnel can also advance a
heat pump to the defrost cycle by simultaneously pressing the
“TEST” button and the “RECALL” button on the UC board.

Use the dipswitches to select defrost time interval (30, 60, 90


or 120 minutes) See chart below

ADDED FROM RS6200007r2 During operation, if the coil tem-


perature is low enough (approximately 31°F), the microproces-
sor will accumulate the compressor run time. When the total
compressor run time reaches 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes, and
there is a call for heat, the PCB will initiate a defrost cycle.

ADDITIONAL NOTES FOR UNITARY CONTROLS

1. When system is at Standby mode Press "TEST" push button to turn on both the compressor and outdoor fan for (5) five
seconds.
2. The "RECALL" push button is used to retrieve the (6) six most recent faults. The control must be in Standby Mode (no ther-
mostat inputs) to use the feature. Depress the push button for approximately two seconds and less than five seconds. The
7-segment LED displays will then display the (6) six most recent fault and decrementing to the least recent fault.
3. The faults may be cleared by depressing the button for greater than (5) five seconds.
4. Consecutively repeated faults are displayed a maximum of (3) three times. Refer to the fault code definitions at the end of
this manual for more details.
5. A forced defrost can be initiated by pressing "TEST" and "RECALL" push buttons simultaneously for more than 1 second with a
valid call for heat. The forced defrost can be terminated by a (10) ten minute lapse in time, a coil temperature rise above 75°F
or by pressing the two buttons again for more than 1 second.
6. "TERM" dip switch is used for communications bus configuration. Leave the settings to the factory default position. Rarely do
the "TERM" dip switch settings need to be changed.
7. "LEARN" push button is used to reset the communications between the equipment. Used only for troubleshooting purposes.

prevent liquid return to the compressor.
Subcooling Formula = Sat. Liquid Temp. - Liquid Line Temp.

EXAMPLE:
a. Liquid Line Pressure = 417
b. Corresponding Temp. °F. = 120°
c. Thermometer on Liquid line = 109°F.

To obtain the amount of subcooling subtract 109°F from 120°F.

SERVICING
An evaporator coil, using a capillary tube metering device,
could allow refrigerant to return to the compressor under
extreme overcharge conditions. Also with a capillary tube
metering device, extreme cases of insufficient indoor air can
cause icing of the indoor coil and liquid return to the compres-
sor, but the head pressure would be lower.

There are other causes for high head pressure which may be
found in the “Service Problem Analysis Guide”.

If other causes check out normal, an overcharge or a system


containing non-condensables would be indicated.

If this system is observed:


1. Start the system.
2. Remove and capture small quantities of gas from the
suction line dill valve until the head pressure is reduced to
normal.
3. Observe the system while running a cooling performance
test. If a shortage of refrigerant is indicated, then the sys-
tem contains non-condensables.

S-114 NON-CONDENSABLES
If non-condensables are suspected, shut down the system
and allow the pressures to equalize. Wait at least 15 minutes.
Compare the pressure to the temperature of the coldest
coil since this is where most of the refrigerant will be. If the
pressure indicates a higher temperature than that of the coil
temperature, non-condensables are present.

Non-condensables are removed from the system by first


removing the refrigerant charge, replacing and/or installing
liquid line drier, evacuating and recharging.

CHECKING COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY

The reason for compressor inefficiency is broken or damaged


scroll flanks on Scroll compressors, reducing the ability of the
compressor to pump refrigerant vapor. The condition of the
scroll flanks is checked in the following manner.

1. Attach gauges to the high and low side of the system.


2. Start the system and run a “Cooling Performance Test. If
the test shows:

a. Below normal high side pressure.


b. Above normal low side pressure.
c. Low temperature difference across coil.
d. Low amp draw at compressor.

And the charge is correct. The compressor is faulty – re-


place the compressor.
