Site Installation
LIFTING
Whenever a condensing unit is lifted, it should be from the base and, where possible, with all packing and protection in position. If any type of slinging is used, due care should be taken to ensure that the slings do not crush the casework or coil. Due note should also be made of the fact that the compressor is at one end of the unit, and therefore the centre of gravity will also be towards that end. If the unit is dropped, it should immediately be checked for damage. NOTE: Keep all pipes capped during installation to prevent pipework contamination.

POSITIONING

The condensing unit should be positioned on a stable and even base. This base should be levelled to ensure that the compressor operates correctly without uneven internal stresses being transmitted to the compressor support springs. Pipework sizes and routes should be set in accordance with good refrigeration practice. Pipework and electrical connections are readily accessible. Where multiple units are installed, due care should be taken to avoid the discharge air from each unit adversely affecting other units in the vicinity.

WALL MOUNTING
(CU./CUH. 1-4)

When condensing units are wall-mounted due care should be taken to choose a position such that there will be an uninterrupted airflow over the coil under all normal operating conditions. It is recommended that a defrost drain tray be fitted where heat pump condensing units are to be wall mounted to prevent ice from falling.

DEFROST DRAIN TRAY


(CUH/CUHS 1 4 OPTIONAL)

Attach the optional defrost drain tray to the wall mounting brackets by first attaching the 2 drain tray brackets to the wall mounting brackets using 2 M6 screws, nuts and washers. Then attach the rear of the defrost drain tray to the wall mounting brackets using 2 M6 screws and washers. Attach the front of the defrost drain tray to the drain tray bracket using 2 M6 screws and washers.

UNIT CHARGE
CU./CUH. 1 - 4 CUS/CUHS 5 12 Units are shipped with a charge of R407C for a pipe run up to 7 metres (equivalent length). The units are shipped with a holding charge of inert gas to guard against contamination or moisture during shipping and storage. The charge should be check to indicate if leaks are present prior to evacuation. If the charge appears to be either partially or totally lost, then the unit should be carefully checked for signs of physical damage.

PIPE SIZING GUIDE

It is important that the correct size refrigeration pipework is used to keep the system pressure drop to a minimum and promote correct oil return. Pipework sizes and routes should be set in accordance with good refrigeration practice.

PIPEWORK INSTALLATION
CUS/CUHS 1 - 12 The suction line should be insulated. Liquid lines should be insulated in areas of high temperature or when exposed to direct sunlight.

PIPEWORK INSTALLATION
General

Condensing Units

Special consideration should be given to vertical pipe runs and heat pump installation. Unit performance will reduce if there are vertical rises of above 5m. Please consult Airedale Service for risers above 10m. When insulating refrigerant lines, cut approximately 30 - 50cm longer than the distance between the units to ensure the insulation goes right upto the unit. Leave connections uncovered for leak testing. Remove burrs to the ends of the copper tube, holding the tube downward to avoid allowing dirt to contaminate the tube. Where applicable insert flare nuts removed from the pipework terminations and make a flare at the end of the copper tube to conform with the following: Inside surface is glossy and smooth Tapered sides are of uniform length Refrigeration lubrication is applied to matching surfaces

The installation of a sight glass close to the indoor unit is recommended. Where applicable braze incoming pipe to rotalock service valve.

PRESSURE TESTING

When installation is complete, the system should be pressure tested. Fill the system with dry nitrogen to a pressure of between 17 bar/250psig and 34bar/ 500 psig. NOTE: The LP switch if fitted must be disconnected for pressures above 17bar/250 psig. Record the pressure over a minimum of 60 minutes to detect major leaks (a 24 hour period should preferably be allowed). If a reduction in pressure is detected, trace the leak and repair before conducting a further pressure test and charging.

EVACUATION

Evacuation for systems operating with R407C refrigerant to be carried out as follows (for alternative refrigerants please refer to Airedale). Use a high vacuum pump and connect to the high and low pressure sides of the system via a gauge manifold fitted with compound gauges. A high vacuum gauge should be fitted to the system at the furthest point from the vacuum pump. Triple evacuation should be used to ensure that all contaminants are removed. Operate the vacuum pump until a pressure of 1.5 torr (200 Pa) absolute pressure is reached, then stop the vacuum pump to break the vacuum using oxygen free Nitrogen until the pressure rises above zero. The above operation should be repeated a second time. The system should then be evacuated a third time but this time to 0.5 torr absolute pressure. Break with the correct refrigerant, until pressures equalise between the charging bottle and the system.

ALTERNATIVE REFRIGERANTS

If an alternative refrigerant is to be used, this must be with the approval of Airedale International Air Conditioning Ltd in order for the warranty to be valid. Care must be taken to ensure that the refrigerant and compressor oil are compatible.

Electrical Information
GENERAL

CU/CFCU

A fused and isolated electrical supply of the appropriate phase, frequency and voltage should be installed. As standard the equipment is designed for 230V, 1 Phase, 50Hz or 400V, 3 Phase, 4 wire 50Hz to all relevant IEE regulations, British standards and IEC requirements. All mains and interconnecting wiring should be carried out to National and Local codes. Wires should be capable of carrying the maximum load current under non-fault conditions at the stipulated voltage. Avoid large voltage drops on cable runs, particularly low voltage wiring. Once the refrigeration pipework is complete the electrical supply can be connected by routing the cable through the appropriate casing hole and connecting the cables as per the wiring diagram supplied with each unit. Power to the indoor unit is normally taken from the outdoor unit. Should there be a separate supply for each unit, a control neutral must be fitted between the indoor and outdoor units.

GENERAL PRE-START CHECKS GENERAL ELECTRICAL

Condensing Units

The following commissioning information is based on a complete matched Airedale system using R407C. Once the whole system has been installed it is most important that the following pre-start checks are made:1 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 The unit condition is satisfactory. All pipework is complete and insulated where necessary. All electrical connections (both mains and control) are properly terminated. The power supply is of the correct voltage and frequency. External fuses/circuit breakers are of the correct rating. The units are properly earthed in accordance with current regulations. All pipework is earth bonded as required. Check that there is a supply to the crankcase heater (if fitted) and ensure this is switched on for a minimum of 2 hours prior to the unit operation. The unit condition is satisfactory. All pipework is complete and insulated where necessary. All fans are able to rotate freely. The system has been evacuated correctly. Check the operation of the high and low pressure switch settings (if fitted). These should be as follows:HIGH PRESSURE SWITCH - 27 Bar ( 400 psi ) - CUT OUT LOW PRESSURE SWITCH - 0.5 Bar ( 7 psi ) - CUT OUT 2.5 Bar ( 37 psi ) - CUT IN 6 The low pressure switch is automatically reset. The high pressure switch must be reset by either switching the unit off/on at the isolator, or de-energising the compressor signal from the indoor unit.

REFRIGERANT CHARGING

Condensing Units

The following information is based on a complete Airedale matched system and indicates the approximate amount of refrigerant charge required. It is also assumed that the system has been designed within operating parameters and to good refrigeration practice. NOTE: It is important that the system is charged with the correct amount of refrigerant. Remember, a seriously over or undercharged system may lead to major component failure. The final refrigerant charge level should be set by the design evaporating and condensing pressures, together with a full or nearly full sight glass. The suction and discharge pressures should be constantly monitored whilst charging is in progress. NOTE:- The sight glass level must be checked in the COOLING MODE ONLY.

ADDING REFRIGERANT
CU./CUH. 1 4 CUS/CUHS 5 12 & CFCUS 5 10 Supplied pre-charged for up to 7m pipe runs (equivalent length), please refer to the table below for additional charging guidance. Supplied with a holding charge, the charge in the Technical Data tables is based on approximately 30m pipe runs (equivalent length). The following approximate amounts should be added to the system for every additional metre of pipe run above the standard charge: System CU/CUH 1 1.5 CUS/CUHS 2 CUS/CUHS 2.5 3.5 CUS/CUHS. 4 CUS/CUHS & CFCUS 5 CUS/CUHS & CFCUS 6 7.5 CUS/CUHS & CFCU 10 CUS/CUHS 12 Additional Grams Per Metre Pipe Run 24g 28g 67g 119g 125g 210g 384g 384g

SYSTEM READINGS

CU/CFCU

NOTE :- The sight glass should only be used as an assistance to charging as the charge level showing in the glass will vary according to different operating conditions. This is especially noticeable with the heat pump units where the system may appear to be undercharged in the heating mode. Evaporating temperature (suction gauge) should read approximately 2C. to 3C. with a room (return air temperature) of approximately 22 C. Condensing temperature (as read on the discharge gauge) should be in the region of 45 to 46 C. with an external ambient temperature of 30C (Condensing is normally 15 C. above ambient).

RUNNING CHECKS

Once the system has been charged, the following running checks should be carried out:Check the operation of the fan speed controller by observing an increase in fan speed if the outdoor coil is temporarily partially blocked. If the system is a heat pump option, check that the reversing valve switches over from cooling to heating and vice-versa. NOTE: Head pressure control also operates in heating mode by slowing down the outdoor unit fan as the system pressure rises. This can be checked by partially blocking the inlet grilles of the indoor unit and observing the outdoor unit fan slowing down.

IMPORTANT ALARM DIAGNOSTIC OPERATION


(CU./CUH.1-4)

FINALLY AND MOST IMPORTANT - Fill in the commissioning sheet and return a copy to the factory to ensure that the warranty on the unit will be valid. Unit control is via a microprocessor board found inside the control panel of the unit. The board features 4 Red LED alarm indicators to indicate specific outdoor controller alarms which should be checked when troubleshooting. During situations when there is more than one alarm present the LEDs will only indicate one alarm based on a priority sequence shown below. Priority 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 1 2 3 4 Alarm Description A1 Low Pressure Fault A2 High Pressure Fault A3 Auxiliary Alarm A4 or A5 Outdoor Fan Fault T2 Coil Sensor Fault Compressor Delay Active S1 Communications Fault LED 1 On On ALARM LED 2 LED 3 On On Flashing On Flashing On LED 4

LED4 will operate independently of the other alarm LEDs and will follow its own priority sequence, as indicated in the table. LED 4 will also flicker intermittently when the controller is communicating with the indoor board. The Airedale matched indoor units can be configured to a Master/Slave function, refer to indoor unit manuals for details. Master/Slave control refers to a number of indoor units in one area being controlled at one designated indoor unit by one command. This does not refer to connection to a proprietary commercial BMS system.
