Fig. 9 Base Valve Operation
Back Position
: Normal operation, manifold port is closed.
Front Position
: Storage operation, liquid or suction line connection is closed.
Middle Position
: Installation operation, all ports are open.
NOTE
The recommended initial charges are used for reference only,
always use the superheat, subcooling and pressure readings to
charge refrigerant properly.
If the unit is equipped with a low ambient condition kit and installed
in the summer, add 15% more refrigerant.
If the low ambient condition kit is used, turn off the compressor
before power the condensing unit. Only turn on the compressor
after the condensing unit has been powered for 12 hours.
1) Turn both discharge and suction valves in the middle positions.
2) Connect the manifold high or low pressure hose to the discharge or suction
valve and connect it to a vacuum pump.
3) Open the manifold high and low pressure valves to evacuate the system.
4) Close the manifold high and low pressure valves and switch it to a charging
scale.
5) Open the manifold high and low pressure valves to charge the system using
the recommended initial charge.
6) Close the manifold high and low pressure valves. Turn on the power to start
the system.
7) Check the following temperatures and pressures.
8. Adjusting and Completing the Installation
1) Checking pressure control settings
