5.2 Protection Function  
3 minute compressor time delay  
The compressor will wait for 3 minutes before restarting, so as to prevent the pressure  
imbalance in refrigerant system from resulting in compressor rotor locking.  
Anti-freezing protection in cooling or dry mode  
Anti-freezing function is activated according to TE.  
If TE is lower than 33.8°F (1) for 14 minutes, the evaporator anti-freezing protection will be  
activated. The compressor will turn off for 5 minutes. 5 minutes later, if the evaporator pipe  
temperature is still lower than 33.8°F (1), the compressor remain off; when it gets higher  
than 33.8°F (1), the compressor will restart and the antifreeze function will be cancelled.  
Note: If the compressor stops operation, the time will be cleared.  
If the fan motor turns to High speed or the indoor ambient temperature gets over 78.8°F  
(26), the time will keep inactive, not be cleared.  
Anti-frosting protection and defect at cooling or dry mode  
After compressor runs for 3 minutes, if TE is less than 5°F (-15) for the subsequent 3  
minutes, the anti-frosting protection will be activated and the compressor will stop for the  
following 6 minutes. After that time, if the condition for de-frosting function is met again in the  
following 10 minutes while the compressor is operating, the unit will display ‘Ed’ to indicate that  
the unit is in the defrost mode defect. The compressor and fan motor will turn OFF  
Note: The Defect display can be cancelled only by pressing the ON/OFF button on the unit  
or the remote controller.

6. COMPONENT OPERATION & TESTING  
WARNING:  
DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD FROM THE POWER PLUG BEFORE SERVICING OR  
TESTING.  
6.1 COMPRESSORS  
Compressors are single phase, 115 or 230/208 volt, depending on the model number. All  
compressor motors are permanent split capacitor type using only a running capacitor across  
the start and run terminal.  
All compressors are internally spring mounted and externally mounted on rubber isolators.  
COMPRESSOR WINDING TEST (See Figure 1)  
Remove compressor terminal box cover and disconnect  
wires from terminals. Using an ohmmeter, check  
continuity across the following:  
1. Terminal "C" and "S" - no continuity  
- open winding - replace compressor.  
2. Terminal "C" and "R" - no continuity  
- open winding - replace compressor.  
3. Terminal "R" and "S" - no continuity  
- open winding - replace compressor.  
Figure 1: Compressor winding test  
GROUND TEST  
Use an ohmmeter set on its highest scale. Touch  
one lead to the compressor body (clean point of  
contact as a good connection is a must) and the  
other probe in turn to each compressor terminal  
(see Figure 2.) If a reading is obtained, the  
compressor is grounded and must be replaced.  
Figure 2: Typical ground test

Service Manual  
Room Air Conditioner with R-410A  
Heat Controller, Inc.  
CHECKING COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY  
The reason for compressor inefficiency is normally due to broken or damaged suction and/or  
discharge valves, reducing the ability of the compressor to pump refrigerant gas.  
This condition can be checked as follows:  
1. Install a piercing valve on the suction and discharge or liquid process tube.  
2. Attach gauges to the high and low sides of the system.  
3. Start the system and run a “cooling performance test.”  
If test shows:  
A. Below normal high side pressure.  
B. Above normal low side pressure.  
C. Low temperature difference across coil.  
The compressor valves are faulty - replace the compressor.  
THERMAL OVERLOAD (External)  
Some compressors are equipped with an external overload which  
is located in the compressor terminal box adjacent to the  
compressor body (see Figure 3.) The overload is wired in series  
with the common motor terminal. The overload senses both major  
amperage and compressor temperature. High motor temperature  
or amperage heats the disc causing it to open and break the  
circuit to the common motor terminal.  
Figure 3: External overload  
Heat generated within the compressor shell is usually due to:  
1. High amperage.  
2. Low refrigerant charge.  
3. Frequent recycling.  
4. Dirty condenser.  
TERMINAL OVERLOAD – TEST (Compressor - External Type)  
1. Remove overload.  
2. Allow time for overload to reset before attempting to test.  
3. Apply ohmmeter probes to terminals on overload wires. There should be continuity through  
the overload.  
TERMINAL OVERLOAD (Internal)  
Some model compressors are equipped with an internal overload. The overload is embedded  
in the motor windings to sense the winding temperature and/or current draw. The overload is  
connected in series with the common motor terminal.  
Should the internal temperature and/or current draw become excessive, the contacts in the  
overload will open, turning off the compressor. The overload will automatically reset, but may  
require several hours before the heat is dissipated.  
10  
Service Manual  
Room Air Conditioner with R-410A  
Heat Controller, Inc.  
CHECKING THE INTERNAL OVERLOAD (see Figure 4.)  
1. With no power to unit, remove the leads from the compressor  
terminals.  
2. Using an ohmmeter, test continuity between terminals C-S  
and C-R. If not continuous, the compressor overload is open  
and the compressor must be replaced.  
Figure 4: Internal overload  
6.2 FAN MOTOR  
A single phase permanent split capacitor motor is used to drive the evaporator blower and  
condenser fan. A self-resetting overload is located inside the motor to protect against high  
temperature and high amperage conditions.  
FAN MOTOR - TEST  
1. Determine that capacitor is serviceable.  
2. Disconnect fan motor wires from fan speed switch or system switch.  
3. Apply "live" test cord probes on Red wire and common terminal of capacitor. Motor should  
run at high speed.  
4. Apply "live" test cord probes on Yellow wire and common terminal of capacitor. Motor should  
run at mid speed.  
5. Apply "live" test cord probes on White wire and common terminal of capacitor. Motor should  
run at low speed.  
6. Apply "live" test cord probes on each of the remaining wires from the speed switch or  
system switch to test intermediate speeds.  
6.3 CAPACITOR, RUN  
A run capacitor is wired across the auxiliary and main  
winding of a single phase permanent split capacitor motor  
such as the compressor and fan motor. A single capacitor  
can be used for each motor or a dual rated capacitor can  
be used for both.  
The capacitor's primary function is to reduce the line  
current while greatly improving the torque characteristics  
of a motor. The capacitor also reduces the line current to  
the motor by improving the power factor of the load. The  
hook-up line side of the capacitor is marked with a red dot and is  
wired to the line side of the circuit (see Figure 5.)  
Figure 5: Run capacitor  
CAPACITOR - TEST  
1. Remove capacitor from unit.  
2. Check for visual damage such as bulges, cracks, or leaks.  
3. For dual rated, apply an ohmmeter lead to common (C) terminal and the other probe to the  
11  
Service Manual  
Room Air Conditioner with R-410A  
Heat Controller, Inc.  
compressor (HERM) terminal. A satisfactory capacitor will cause a deflection on the pointer,  
then gradually move back to infinity.  
4. Reverse the leads of the probe and momentarily touch the capacitor terminals. The  
deflection of the pointer should be two times that of the first check if the capacitor is good.  
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to check fan motor capacitor.  
NOTE: A shorted capacitor will indicate a low resistance and the pointer will move to the "0"  
end of the scale and remain there as long as the probes are connected.  
An open capacitor will show no movement of the pointer when placed across the  
terminals of the capacitor.  
6.4 THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT  
No attempt should be made to adjust thermostat. Due to the sensitivity of the internal  
mechanism and the sophisticated equipment required to check the calibration, it is suggested  
that the thermostat be replaced rather than calibrated. Thermostat bulb must be straight to  
insure proper performance.  
6.5 HEATING ELEMENT - See Figure 6  
All electric heater models are equipped with a heating element.  
The heating element contains a fuse link and a heater limit  
switch. The fuse link is in series with the power supply and  
will open and interrupt the power when the temperature  
reaches 183.2°F (84°C) or 199.4°F (93°C) depending on series  
model, or a short circuit occurs in the heating element.  
Once the fuse link separates, a new fuse link must  
be installed. NOTE: Always replace with the exact replacement.  
The heater element has a high limit control. This control is a  
bimetal thermostat mounted in the top of the heating element.  
Should the fan motor fail or filter become clogged, the high limit  
Figure 6: Heating element  
control will open and interrupt power to the heater before reaching an unsafe temperature  
condition.  
The control is designed to open at 104°F (40°C). Test continuity below 104°F (40°C). and for  
open above 104°F (40°C)..  
Press the “Mode” button, select “Heat” mode, to bring on the heating element and turn off the  
compressor. The room temperature sensor will then control the cycling of the element when  
the selected indoor temperature is reached.  
Testing of the elements can be done using an ohmmeter across the terminals after the  
connecting wires have been removed. A cold resistance reading of approximately 10.2 ohms  
for the 4.7 KW heater should be registered.

Service Manual  
Room Air Conditioner with R-410A

6.6 VALVE, DRAIN PAN (see Figure 7)  
During the cooling mode of operation, condensate which  
collects in the drain pan is picked up by the condenser  
fan blade and sprayed onto the condenser coil. This  
assists in cooling the refrigerant plus evaporating the  
water.  
During the heating mode of operation, it is necessary  
that water be removed to prevent it from freezing due to  
cold outside temperatures. This could cause the  
condenser fan blade to freeze in the accumulated water  
and prevent it from turning.  
To provide a means of draining this water, a bellows type  
drain valve is installed over a drain opening in the Chassis.  
Figure 7: Drain pan valve  
This valve is temperature sensitive and will open when the outside temperature reaches 40°F  
(4.4°C). The valve will close gradually as the temperature rises above 40°F (4.4°C) to fully  
close at 68°F (20°C).

HERMETIC COMPONENT REPLACEMENT  
The following procedure applies when replacing components in the sealed refrigeration circuit  
or repairing refrigerant leaks. (Compressor, condenser, evaporator, capillary tube, refrigerant  
leaks, etc.)  
1. Recover the refrigerant from the system at the process tube located on the high side of the  
system by installing a line tap on the process tube. Apply gauge from process tube to EPA  
approved gauges from process tube to EPA approved recovery system. Recover CFCs in  
system to at least 5%.  
2. Cut the process tube below pinch off on the suction side of the compressor.  
3. Connect the line from the nitrogen tank to the suction process tube.  
4. Drift dry nitrogen through the system and unsolder the more distant connection first. (Filter  
drier, high side process tube, etc.)  
5. Replace inoperative component, and always install a new filter drier. Drift dry nitrogen  
through the system when making these connections.  
6. Pressurize system to 30 PSIG with proper refrigerant and boost refrigerant pressure to 150  
PSIG with dry nitrogen.  
7. Leak test complete system with electric halogen leak detector, correcting any leaks found.  
8. Reduce the system to zero gauge pressure.  
9. Connect vacuum pump to high side and low side of system with deep vacuum hoses, or  
copper tubing. (Do not use regular hoses.)  
10. Evacuate system to maximum absolute holding pressure of 200 microns or less.  
NOTE: This process can be sped up by use of heat lamps, or by breaking the vacuum with  
refrigerant or dry nitrogen at 5,000 microns. Pressurize system to 5 PSIG and  
leave a minimum of 10 minutes. Recover refrigerant, and proceed with evacuation  
of a pressure of 200 microns or a minimum of 10%.  
11. Break vacuum by charging system from the high side with the correct amount of refrigerant  
specified. This will prevent boiling the oil out of the crankcase.  
NOTE: If the entire charge will not enter the high side, allow the remainder to enter the low  
14

side in small increments while operating the unit.  
12. Restart unit several times after allowing pressures to stabilize. Pinch off process tubes, cut  
and solder the ends. Remove pinch off tool, and leak check the process tube ends.  
SPECIAL PROCEDURE IN THE CASE OF COMPRESSOR MOTOR BURNOUT  
1. Recover all refrigerant and oil from the system.  
2. Remove compressor, capillary tube and filter drier from the system.  
3. Flush evaporator condenser and all connecting tubing with dry nitrogen or equivalent, to  
remove all contamination from system. Inspect suction and discharge line for carbon  
deposits. Remove and clean if necessary.  
4. Reassemble the system, including new drier strainer and capillary tube.  
5. Proceed with process as outlined under hermetic component replacement.  
ROTARY COMPRESSOR SPECIAL TROUBLESHOOTING AND SERVICE  
Basically, troubleshooting and servicing rotary compressors is the same as on the  
reciprocating compressor with only a few exceptions.  
1. Because of the spinning motion of the rotary, the mounts are critical. If vibration is present,  
check the mounts carefully..  
2. The electrical terminals on the rotary are in a different order than the reciprocating  
compressors. The terminal markings are on the cover gasket. Use your wiring diagram to  
insure correct connections.  
REFRIGERANT CHARGE  
1. The refrigerant charge is extremely critical. Measure charge carefully - as exact as possible  
to the nameplate charge.  
2. The correct method for charging the a rotary compressor is to introduce liquid refrigerant  
into the high side of the system with the unit off. Then start compressor and enter the  
balance of the charge, gas only, into the low side.  
The introduction of liquid into the low side, without the use of a capillary tube, will cause  
damage to the discharge valve of the rotary compressor.
