PRE-START PROCEDURES
VOLTAGE IMBALANCE
Excessive voltage imbalance between phases in all 3-phase system will cause motors to overheat and eventually fail. Maximum allowable imbalance is 2 %. Voltage imbalance is defined as follows: % Voltage Imbalance = 100x Va-Vd Va
The 2.2% imbalance that exists in the example above exceeds maximum allowable imbalance by 0.2 %. This much imbalance between phases can equal as much as 20 % current imbalance with a resulting increase in winding temperature that will decrease compressor motor life.
Measure each leg supply voltage at all line voltage disconnect switches. Readings must fall within the voltage utilization range shown on the unit nameplate (10%). If voltage on any leg does not fall within the tolerance, notify the power company to correct this situation before operating the unit. Inadequate voltage to the unit will cause control components to malfunction and shorten the life of electrical components and compressor motors. Where
Va = (V1 + V2 +V3) / 3(Average Voltage) V1, V2, V3 = Line Voltages Vd = Maximum Line Voltage deviation from Va Example: If the three voltages measured at the line 221 Volts, 230 Volts, and 227 Volts, the average (Va) would be: Va = (221 + 230 + 227)/3 = 226 Volts then Vd = 221 Volts The percentage of imbalance is then: 100x 226-221 226 2.2%

PRE-START CHECKLIST
Inspect all wiring connections; electrical connections should be clean and tight. Check power supply voltage to the unit at the main power fused disconnect switch. Fill the chilled water circuit, leaving the system air vents open. Close vents after all air is out, and the system is completely filled. Remove jumper wire across terminals 1 and 5 (in the control panel) for water system testing. Close the fused disconnect switch and start the unit by turning the REMOTE/ OFF/ON switch to ON position. Pump should start and with water circulating through the chilled water system, inspect all piping connections for leaks and make any necessary repairs. Adjust the water flow rate through the chilled water circuit, and check the external available water pressure of the unit (for standard unit) or the evaporator water pressure drop for the no-pump option unit.
NOTE: With the water pump operating, throttle the water flow to approximately 50% of the full flow rate. Following the manufacturers instructions, adjust the flow switch contacts to open at this point. Use an ohmmeter to verify opening and closure of the flow switch contacts.
Stop the chilled water pump. Open all fused disconnect switches. Make electrical connection of flow switch to terminals 1 & 5 in the control panel.

OPERATION
START-UP PROCEDURE
Close the fused disconnect switch and turn REMOTE/OFF/ON switch to ON. Pump will start immediately. After 2 minutes, compressors 1 will start. 1 minute later, compressor 2 will start (only in units with two refrigerant circuits). For CGAR models, turn REMOTE/OFF/ ON switch to ON as described above, turn the already installed indoors cooling and heating mode switch to cooling mode, then the operation of the chiller would be similar to what is described above. As for start-up with heating mode, first turn REMOTE/OFF/ON switch to OFF. Then, turn the cooling and heating mode switch to heating. Finally, turn the REMOTE/OFF/ON switch to ON (see section on electrical wiring of the installation checklist). Once the unit has operated for at least 30 minutes and the system has stabilized, complete the following checklist to ensure proper unit operation. Re-check unit water flow and pressure rise (for no built-in pump unit with fieldinstalled pump system). These readings should be stable at proper levels. Measure unit suction and discharge pressures by installing pressure gauges on the discharge and suction line access ports. Normal operation should render suction pressure in the range of 50-85 psig and discharge pressure 200-310 psig.
Check compressor amp draw. Check electrical power supply. Check the liquid line sight glasses.
Measure system subcooling. Normal subcooling for each circuit is 6.7C to 12.2C ARI conditions (12.2C entering water, 6.7C leaving water, and 35C ambient temperature). If subcooling for either circuit is normal but subcooling is not in this range, check superheat for the circuit and adjust, if required. If superheat is normal but subcooling is not, contact a qualified service technician. If operating pressure, sight glass, superheat and subcooling readings indicate refrigerant shortage, find and repair leaks and, gas-charge refrigerant into each circuit. Refrigerant shortage is indicated if operating pressures are low and subcooling is also low.
NOTE: Bubbles in the liquid line may indicate either a low refrigerant charge, or excessive pressure drop in the liquid line. Such a restriction can often be identified by a noticeable difference in line temperature on either side of the restricted area. (Frost often forms on the outside of the liquid line at the point of restriction, as well). Bubbles are not necessarily a symptom of improper system operation. CAUTION: A clear sight glass does not necessarily mean that the system is sufficiently charged; be sure to consider system superheat, subcooling, and unit operating pressures and ambient temperatures.
Proper unit refrigerant charge-per circuit-is indicated on the unit nameplate. Measure system superheat. Normal system superheat is 6.7C to 8.3C for each circuit at ARI conditions (12.2C entering water, 6.7C leaving water, and 35C ambient temperature). If the superheat measured for either circuit does not fall within this range, alter the setting of the superheat adjustment on the thermal expansion valve to obtain the desired reading. Allow 15 to 30 minutes between adjustments for the expansion valve to stabilize at each new setting.
CAUTION: If suction and discharge pressures are low, but subcooling is normal, no refrigerant shortage exists. Adding refrigerant will result in overcharging.
Add refrigerant vapor with the unit running by charging through the access port on the suction line until operating pressures are normal. If operating pressures indicate an overcharge, slowly (to minimize oil loss) recover refrigerant at the liquid line service valve. Be sure that all remote sensing bulbs are properly installed in bulb wells with heat transfer grease. Remote bulb capillary tubes must be secured (i.e. protected from vibration and abrasion) and undamaged. Inspect the unit. Remove any debris, tools and hardware. Secure all exterior panels, including the control and compressor access panels. Replace and tighten all retaining screws.

3. Remove compressor delay on timer(s) (TR1, TR2). Record down the original socket for the respective timer so that the correct timer(s) are replaced correctly later. 4. Close the unit disconnect switch for power supply. 5. Turn the REMOTE/OFF/ON switch to ON position. With water circulating through the chilled water system, inspect all piping connections for leaks and make any necessary repairs. 6. Adjust the water flow rate, using the balancing valve, through the chilled water circuit, and check the water pressure rise (or drop) through the unit. 7. Adjust the flow switch (installed on the unit outlet piping) to provide proper operation.
WINTERIZATION: Close all evaporator water supply valves and drain the evaporator by removing the drain plug and opening the vent on the entering water line just outside the unit. Re-install the drain plug. Since the evaporator does not drain completely, add ethylene glycol antifreeze to the remaining water through the vent or evaporator drain hole, to keep the water from freezing. Protect system to 5.5C below the expected ambient temperature.
SYSTEM RESTART AFTER EXTENDED SHUTDOWN 1. Remove winterization antifreeze as it can reduce system capacity. 2. Fill the chilled water circuit by opening the gate valves at the returning and supply water piping. Be sure to vent the system while filling it, and close the vents when system is full.
NOTE: With the unit operating, throttle the water flow to approximately 50% of the full flow rate. Following the manufacturers instructions, adjust the flow switch contacts to open at this point. Use an ohmmeter to check for contact opening and closure.
8. Stop the unit by turning the REMOTE/ OFF/ON switch to OFF position. 9. Replace compressor delay on timer (TR1, TR2) back to their original sockets. This unit now is ready for normal operation.

CGA-SVX01B-EN
during normal unit operation, the leaving chilled water temperature falls to the trip point, the FU will open to interrupt compressor operation. When leaving chilled water temperature falls down, the suction temperature also falls down. For further protection to avoid freeze damage, another freezestat ( FS1 , FS2 ) in contact with the suction line. If suction temperature falls to the trip point , the FS1 (FS2) will open to interrupt compressor operation. Motor Overloads These units have internal compressor and condenser fan motor overloads to protect the motors from overcurrent and overheating conditions and automatically reset as soon as they cool sufficiently. Pump motor has thermal overload installed at the load contactor. Pump overload needs manual reset. Cooling Mode Water Temperature Thermostat Operation (TS1, TS2) for cooling mode For Double Refrigeration Circuit Operation At Start-up, the pump will come on immediately. Two minutes after the pump is on and EWT(entering water temperature)is above 14.0 C, compressor 1 will start. One minute later, if the EWT is above 13. 5C, compressor 2 will start. When cooling demand is met and EWT drops to 10.0 C. Compressor 1 will stop,if EWT continues to fall to 9.5 C,compressor 2 will stop. Subsequently,when load builds up and EWT rises to 13.5 C compressor 2 comes on, and if EWT rises further to 14.0C, compressor 1 comes on. Pump remains on unless the unit is turned off.
For Single Refrigeration Circuit Operation For units with only one refrigerant circuit, the operation of water pump, fan and compressor is exactly the same. The only difference is the unit will operate the single compressor from any temperature over 14.0 C and 10. 0C when the compressor will stop. Heating Mode Water Temperature Thermostat Operation (TS3, TS4) for cooling mode For Double Refrigeration Circuit Operation At start-up, pump will come on immediately. Two minutes after the pump is on and EWT (entering water temperature)is below 38. 0C, compressor 1 will start. One minute later, if EWT is below 39.0 C, compressor 2 will start. When heating demand is met and EWT rises to 42.0 C, compressor 1 will stop, if EWT continues to rise to 43.0 C,compressor 2 will stop. Subsequently,when load builds up and EWT drops to 39.0 C, compressor 2 comes on, and if EWT drops further to 38.0 C, compressor 1 comes on. Pump remains on unless the unit is turned off. For Single Refrigeration Circuit Operation For units with only one refrigerant circuit, the operation of water pump, fan and compressor is exactly the same. The only difference is the unit will operate the single compressor from any temperature below 38.0 C and 42. 0 C when the compressor will stop.
CAUTION: To prevent unit damage, do not reset the control circuit until the cause of the safety lockout is identified and corrected.
To reset CR1 and CR2, open and reclose the unit REMOTE/OFF/ON switch. Anti-freeze Cutout (FS1, FS2, FU) The FS and FU are designed to protect the evaporator from freeze damage in the event of a water temperature thermostat (WTT) malfunction or restricted water flow. The FUs remote sensing bulb is mounted at the outlet end of the evaporator, where it monitors leaving water temperature. If

Maintenance
Once the unit has been operating for about 30 minutes and the system has stabilized, check operating conditions and complete the checkout procedure described below:
Monthly Check suction and discharge pressures for normal operating pressures. Check the liquid line sight glass indicator for normal operating conditions. If operating pressures and sight glass conditions indicate a refrigerant shortage, measure system superheat and subcooling. If operating conditions indicate an overcharge, slowly (to minimize oil loss) recover refrigerant from the schraeder valve. Open the unit disconnect switch; then manually rotate the condenser fan(s) to ensure proper orifice clearance. Inspect the fan mounting bolts for tightness. Check fan set screws for tightness. Please clean up internal and pipes strainer once the unit first starts running and monthly after use.
Annually Perform all monthly maintenance procedure. Have a qualified service technician check the setting and function of each control and inspect the condition of all contactors and replace as necessary. Drain water from unit. Inspect piping for damage. Clean out the built-in water strainer and any other in-line water strainer. Clean and repaint any corroded surfaces. Clean condenser coil with soft brush and water spray. Inspect the expansion valve(s) sensing bulbs for cleanliness; clean if required. These bulbs must make good contact with the suction lines and must be properly insulated. Clean condenser fan.
