START-UP 

Pre-Startup 

BUILDING ENVELOPE

All building windows and 

doors should be installed and closed before starting 
unit.  During summer construction, avoid unit sweating 
by allowing for gradual pull down:  use elevated chilled 
water temperature, reduce chilled water flow rate 
(gpm), use maximum available airflow.   
HEATING FLUID TEMPERATURE-Maximum entering 
water temperature is 180°F, unless nameplate indicates 
200°F.  

CAUTION

:  If unit is marked for 200°F maxi-

mum entering water temperature, customer must en-
sure that water vaporization does not occur especially 
at higher elevations when entering water temperatures 
are greater than 190°F.    
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS-Check that unit or wall 
mounted thermostat or field-supplied controller is con-
nected to the unit.   
OUTSIDE AIR AND FREEZE PROTECTION- 

WARNING:  Insure that the unit is protected against 

freezing conditions   Failure to provide freeze pro-
tection may result in equipment or property dam-
age.  

Freeze protection measures are customer-

provided and installed and include but are not limited to 
low-limit thermostats, automatic temperature controls, 
and use of glycol based heat transfer fluids (see section 
FREEZE PROTECTION OF WATER PIPING).   
1.  If “locking quadrant” manual damper operator pro-
vided, set to desired position.     
2.  If damper actuator provided, insure that actuator 
opens the damper when the fan turns on, and closes 
when fan stops.   Test mixing box controls to make sure 
OA damper closes on power failure or upon activation 
of customer-supplied and installed low limit thermostat 
or other freeze protection device.   

Start-Up Check List — 

Remove all construction debris 

from unit interior. 

Remove tools and all foreign objects 

before starting unit. Checklist—perform full startup 
checklist located on the last page of this manual, and 
submit to the factory to register the warranty.   

FILTERS — Install unit filters in all filter sections.  Pro-
tect open filters from drywall dust and construction de-
bris. 
MOTOR/FAN ASSEMBLY 
1.  Hand turn fan to make certain it turns freely and fan 

wheel does not rub the inlet ring.   

2.  Check fan speed with a laser-type tachometer to 

confirm operating speed (access doors must be 
closed to apply correct external static pressure to 
the fan).   

3.  Check direction of rotation (see Fig. 15).  
4.  Check vibration. If excessive vibration occurs, 

check for the following: 

A.  Shipping screws removed.  
B.  Inadequate airflow.   
C.  Damaged wheel.   
D.  Loose mounting bolts. 
E.  Wheel or motor out of balance. 
F.  External vibration isolators improperly ad-

justed. 

G.  Out-of-balance or corroded wheel 

(rebalance or replace if necessary). 

H.  Accumulation of material on wheel (remove 

excess material). 

Fig. 15 — Fan Wheel Rotation

COILS 
1.  Make sure freeze protection measures are 

in place to protect water coils from freezing 
(see section FREEZE PROTECTION OF 
WATER PIPING).   

2.  Make sure hydronic (water based chllled 

water and hot water) systems are filled and 
have air removal devices in operation.   

3.  For hydronic coils with 3ea connections, 

make sure that the supply connection is at 
the bottom (air leaving side of coil) and re-
turn connection is in the middle (air entering 
side of coil), and the top connection is 
capped with the factory-provided cap.   

Start-Up—Run Fan, Set Airflows 

CONTROLS 
Set up control system so that it correctly runs 
the fan as needed and activates control valves 
when required.  Note that operating cooling with 
the fan off can cause the cabinet temperature to 
become too low and result in condensation in-
side and outside the unit cabinet, leading to un-
safe conditions.  When fan is not running, cool-
ing should be inactive.   

START THE FAN 
With 4-Speed Control:   
1.  Using a thermostat:  Route R, C and G1 

connections in the HCA control box to the 
matching thermostat connections (include 
G2 and G3 if required).  Set thermostat to 
run the fan at speed G1.   

2.  Without a thermostat:  Jump together the R 

and G1 terminals in the control box.   

3.  While fan is running, adjust potentiometer 

marked “FLO1” that controls fan speed G1 
using a small flat blade screwdriver.  Repeat 
for the other speeds as needed.   

With 0-10VDC Control:   
1.  Using a thermostat:  Route R, C, + (plus) 

and -(minus) connections in the HCA control 
box to the matching thermostat connections.  
Set the thermostat to run the fan.   

2.  Without a thermostat: Provide a DC control 

voltage across the + (plus) and — (minus) 
terminals.   

3.  Fan starts at 2.0VDC.  Fan speed varies 

across available range (pre-programmed at 
factory) from 2.0 VDC (minimum speed) to 
10.0 VDC (maximum speed).
