PRECAUTION

WARNING: ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

1. TURN OFF MAIN POWER DISCONNECT SWITCH ON THIS MACHINE BEFORE ATTEMPTING
TO SERVICE THIS EQUIPMENT.

2. THIS MACHINE IS PORTABLE. DISCONNECT ALL POWER SOURCES BEFORE REMOVING


CONTROL COVERS.

3. USER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS OF (OR FAILURE TO USE AND MAINTAIN) PROTECTIVE
COVERS FOR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENTS FURNISHED BY THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS
MACHINE.

4. SHOULD YOU FIND IT NECESSARY TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS TO THE REFRIGERATION,


BECAUSE REPAIRS CAN BE HAZARDOUS, READ THE UNIT MANUAL UNDER
REFRIGERATION, OR CALL THE MANUFACTURER AND SELLER. PLEASE NOTE THE
DANGER OF OVER CHARGING THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM.

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

1. It is always a good practice to have a qualified refrigeration technician present to install


and perform the initial start up.

2. Air-conditioning units should be located in a cool, dry, and well ventilated area, away from
direct heat sources such as heating, ducts, radiators, ovens and direct sunlight.

3. The condensing unit should have sufficient fresh air ventilation to efficiently condense the
refrigerant within the system. Should the area be too cramped or enclosed, an exhaust
duct with an auxiliary blower may be installed otherwise proper functioning of the
refrigeration unit may adversely be affected.

4. Confirm that the unit be level upon installation and that the unit be properly anchored.

5. Clean the condenser and evaporators at least once a month, brushing will do but using a
vacuum cleaner would be better. However should the accumulated dirt be scaly or oily,
chemicals and a pressure washer will have to be utilized. In these circumstances, a
qualified technician must be employed to clean the condensing unit and evaporators for
the unit need to be dismantled and pulled down from the unit.

6. The slightest sign of defect of malfunction by any controls must never be overlooked.
Consult with your supplier immediately and if necessary, have it replace before it damages
other components of the air-conditioning unit.

7. Keep the surrounding area of the unit clean and dry. During rainy days, the atmosphere
would become damp and condensation is inevitable, keep on absorbent piece of cloth to
wipe away any condensation. Check and clean interior casing periodically.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. This equipment is applicable only for electrical power supply of 220V-3PH-60HZ., check
the voltage that it matches the unit voltage.

2. The compressor is full voltage connection and pump down system.

3. This equipment is fully charged of refrigerant 22.

4. Before operating this equipment, check to make sure that there is no obstruction or
foreign object within the equipment, and the air distribution system (airduct).

5. Before start up the equipment, make sure that the suction and discharge valves of the
compressor are widely open including the line valve before the filter drier and the
activation of solenoid valve and other instrumentation in the system, i.e. pressure gauges.

6. Before energized the equipment make sure that the switches in the electrical panel board
are in "OFF" position. To energized, switch "ON" main circuit breaker and sub-breakers
located inside the panel board, the standby pilot light red ON.

7. Turn ON AHU switch, the green light on top of selector switch ON. Turn ON evaporator
selector switch, the green light on top of selector switch ON. Turn ON condenser switch,
the green light on top of the selector switch ON, simultaneously the solenoid will
energized and the compressor runs by timer delay and the temperature controller (EKC
202A) on the panel board will also energize. (Set point can be adjusted thru temperature
controller. Please refer to panel operation). Set Heater to manual or automatic.
(Automatic sitting will turn ON/OFF the heater automatically. Manual sitting needs you to
turn ON /OFF by manual.

8. To shut down the equipment simply turn off AHU, condenser and heater selector switch,
then the evaporator selector switch and turn OFF sub-breaker and main breaker.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

The control circuit in this equipment is 220 volts, single phase. The air-
conditioning system has a several controls wired in series. They are high and low
pressure switches. The high-pressure switch is a manual reset; it will shut-off the
refrigeration system in the event that the pressure is too high. This condition
could be caused by the condenser becoming restricted of insufficient (280psig)
air flow foreign material on the outside surface of the condenser. This high-
pressure switch must be pushed to reset. The low-pressure switch is
automatically reset; this switch will cut out anytime the pressure in the
refrigeration system is below 30psig. This can be caused by a freeze up in the
evaporator or there is a leak in the refrigeration system of restricted on the filter
drier, solenoid valve and TX expansion valve. Never try to adjust the high and
low pressure switches or by-pass them. Adjustment should only be made after
one has read the internal pressure of the refrigeration system. Serious damage
to the system could result. The temperature controller is also a part of this
circuit; it controls the cycling of the unit automatically. Do not set it below
freezing. The manual switch on the control panel is also part of this circuit and is
only used to turn the refrigeration system ON & OFF. In the event of voltage
fluctuation or single phasing, the control circuits trip OFF electrical circuits thru
overload relays inside the panel board. The equipment should have air pressure
monitoring gauges in place, by owner (Magnahelic gauages). The Magnahelic
pressure gauges installed at the air handling unit is ranging 0 - 750 pascals
required to monitor the static pressure across air filters, the pre-filter should be
clean regularly up to seven (7) times, when it reads 500 - 600 pascals it is time
to replace all the HEPA filters, medium filters and the pre-filter assembly. The
room pressure monitoring gauges housed in a common panel monitors positive
or negative room pressure recession in every room depends on air classifications.
