DUCTWORK
The connecting between the return air duct and the external filter
frame and that between the air outlet flange and the air delivery duct
must be flexible. The hard connection between the unit and the air
outlet flange must be prohibited. During the installation, the air duct
should be provided with a support for its exclusive use and its weight
should not be carried by the unit, avoiding applying any extra load to
the unit.
The hoisting equipment should be equipped with a shock absorber of
good performance, preventing the unit from the production of
resonance and the increasing of low-frequency noise. It is suggested
that the shock absorber be installed at the side near the unit. The
connecting length of the air duct should not be greater than that
defined by the remained pressure in the unit. Moreover, the air duct is
not allowed to bear any load and should be connected to the unit.
The ceiling suspension unit can only be installed in the place where
burning is not to be triggered.
CONDENSATE DRAIN
1.The unit should be installed horizontally in order to ensure free water
drainage and a normal operation
2.There should not be any foreign substance piled up in the water
drain tray; and all foreign matters should be removed from the tray.
Only if the water drain path is guaranteed to be unobstructed can the
unit be started up.
3.The condensed water discharge duct must be installed with an
external water seal device.
COMPRESSORS
The scroll compressor used in this product is specifically designed to
operate with R-410a Refrigerant and cannot be interchanged.
The compressor also uses a polyolester (POE oil), Mobil 3MA POE.
This oil is extremely hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs water readily.
POE oil can absorb 15 times as much water as other oils designed for
HCFC and CFC refrigerants. Take allnecessary precautions to avoid
exposure of the oil to the atmospheres.
Units are shipped with factory adjusted compressor mountings and
ready for operation.
FILTERS
The nylon screen filter of 21mm in thickness is provided with the unit,
which can filter dirt such as dust, soot,pollen and other foreign
substances. Filters must always be installed ahead of the evaporator
coil and must be kept clean or replaced with same size and type. Dirty
filters will reduce the capacity of the unit and will result in frosted coils
or safety shutdown
SERVICE ACCESS
The following removable panels provide access to all serviceable
components:
•Compressor compartment
•Main control box
Refer to the Dimensions and Clearances Figure 5, 6 for location of
these access panels.
THERM OSTAT

Adjustment of Smoothness:
For the belt drive unit, inspect the smoothness of the fan and motor
belts with a ruler, that is, points of A, B,C and D should be in the same
line; otherwise, it is needed to adjust the smoothness of the belt pulley.

Belt Adjustment
1.Before the starting and operation of your unit, check the tension of
the belt.
2.After one-week operation, the belt will be expanded slightly. In this
case, readjust the tensile force applied to the belt and make it comply
with the specifications listed in the belt Tension Indicator.
3.After 30-day operation of the unit, check the tension of the belt again.
4.After one-quarter operation of the unit, make a complete inspection.

Mechanical Inspection
When contacting the air, the grease used to lubricate the bearing will
suffer from oxidation or even deterioration.
If the oxidized lubricating grease is applied to, the bearing of the motor
will be damaged soon.

to decide whether or not take the following measures:
1.Rotate the fan wheel manually once per month at least.
2.After 15 minutes from the unit starts operating, check whether the
bearing runs normally. If the lubricating grease appears white color, fill
into some new grease: open the bearing and remove the used grease,
then,clean the bearing with petrol and dry it; next, fill into new
lubricating grease (bearing grease, taking the lithium as the main
ingredient) Fill into the grease up to the level of 1/3 height of the If the motor is lubricated just before it operates, a more effective

3.Check the temperature rise of the bearing, which should be less than
40 .
4.If the unit has been unused for a long time or it is under an adverse
weather conditions, the condensed water will result in the rusting of
bearings. In this case, it is required to replace it with a new bearing.
5.Reassemble the bearing, ensuring that the conical socket has been
tighten and is within the specified margin tolerance. Measure the
temperature of the bearing after 15-minute trail operation, which
should not be greater than the ambient temperature.

MOTOR
It is possible to store the rotation equipment for a certain period of time.
Even if the storage time and condition meet the specifications, a series
of electrical and mechanical checks are still necessary.For the motor of
7.5KW or above, it should be equipped with a voltage dropping starter,
avoiding the overstarting-current.

STORAGE CONDITIONS
The motor should be stored in a dry environment, in which if the
humidity exceeds 90%, the motor insulation device will be damaged
soon; when the humidity is up to 100%, the insulation device will lose
its function completely.

OPERATION
SOUND POWER RATINGS
A sound power level is a measure of the total noise radiated by the machine in all directions. It is a property of the machine and is essentially independent
of the measuring environment. Sound power levels are useful to equipment manufacturers, buyers, installers, and users for :
• Calculating the sound pressure level from a machine at a given distance in a given environment.
• Comparing the noise output from different machines
• Setting specifications for the maximum permitted noise from a machine
• Comparing machines before and after modifications to reduce the noise

Sound power is measured in watts or picowatts, and sound power levels are traditionally given in decibels (dB re 1pW).
Refer table 8 for sound power level of outdoor unit.

VOLT FREE CONTACT COOLING SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

All Stellar Commercial Ducted Split Air Cooled Units are supplied with CONTINUOUS BLOWER
Volt free contact, Refer to Electrical wiring schematic that are pasted By setting the room thermostat fan switch to “ON” the supply air blower
inside the unit. will operate continuously.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW
For these units, the thermostat makes a circuit between “R” and “Y1”
for the first stage of cooling. The call is passed to the unit control board
(UCB), which then determines whether the requested operation is
available and, if so, which components to energize. For electric heat
units, the UCB passes the call to the electric heater.
In both cases, when the “W1” call is sensed, the indoor air blower is
energized following a specified heating delay. If at any time a call for
both heating and cooling are present, the heating operation will be
performed. If operating, the cooling system is halted as with a
completion of a call for cooling. Heating always takes priority.
INTERMITTENT BLOWER
With the room thermostat fan switch set to “AUTO” and the system
switch set to either the “AUTO” or “HEAT” settings, the blower is
energized whenever a cooling or heating operation is requested. The
blower is energized after any specified delay associated with the
operation. When energized, the indoor blower has a minimum run time
of 30 seconds. Additionally, the indoor blower has a delay of 10
seconds between operations.
NO OUTDOOR AIR OPTIONS
When the thermostat calls for the first stage of cooling, the low voltage
control circuit from R to YI & G is completed. For first stage of cooling,
compressor 1, condenser fan motor 1 & 2 are energized. After
completing the specified fan on delay for cooling, the UCB will
energize the blower Motor.When the thermostat calls for 2nd stage of
cooling low voltage control circuit from R to Y2 is completed,
compressor 2 is energized, provided it has not been locked out.

29
YORK STELLAR Commercial Ducted split series
For third stage of cooling, the low voltage control circuit from”R” to “Y3”
is completed. Compressor # 3, if there is an initial call for 3 stages of
cooling, the UCB will delay energizing compressor 2 & 3 by 30
seconds each. Once the thermostat has been satisfied it will de‐
energize Y1, Y2 & Y3.
When the thermostat calls for fourth stage of cooling, the low voltage
control circuit from “R” to “Y4” is completed, compressor #4 is
energized. If there is an initial call for 4 stages of cooling, the UCB will
delay energizing compressor # 2, 3 & 4 by 30 seconds each. Once the
thermostat has been satisfied it will de‐energize Y1, Y2, and Y3 & Y4.
If the compressors have satisfied their minimum run times, the
compressors and condenser fans are de‐energized. Otherwise, the
unit operates each cooling system until the minimum run times for the
compressors have been completed. Upon the final compressor de‐
energizing, the blower is stopped following the elapse of the fan off
delay for cooling.
To be available, a compressor must not be locked out due to a high or
low pressure switch or freezestat trip and the anti-short cycle delay
(ASCD) must have elapsed.
COOLING OPERATION ERRORS
Each cooling system is monitored for operation outside of the intended
parameters. Errors are handled as described below. All system errors
override minimum run times for compressors.
HIGH PRESSURE LIMIT SWITCH
During cooling operation, if a high pressure limit switch opens, the
UCB will de-energize the associated compressor, initiate the ASCD
(anti short cycle delay), and condenser fan will stop. If the call for
cooling is still present at the conclusion of the ASCD, the UCB will re-
energize the compressor again .
A high pressure switch open three times within two hours of operation,
the UCB will lock out the associated compressor , flags an alarm on
LCD (see Table 8). and condenser fan will stop.
to manually reset the lockout condition , navigate to Reset.LO in LCD ,
change the value from NO to YES
LOW PRESSURE LIMIT SWITCH
The low pressure limit switch is not monitored during the initial 30
seconds of a cooling system’s operation.If the low pressure switch fails
to close after 30 seconds, the UCB will de-energize the associated
compressor, initiate the ASCD, and condenser fan will stop.
Once the low pressure switch has been proven (closed), the UCB will
monitor the low pressure limit switch for any openings. If the low
pressure switch opens for greater than 5 seconds, the UCB will de-
energize the associated compressor, initiate the ASCD, and
condenser fan will stop. If the call for cooling is still present at the
conclusion of the ASCD, the UCB will re-energize the halted
compressor. Should a low pressure switch open three times within one
hour of operation, the UCB will lock out the associated compressor ,
flags an alarm on LCD (see Table 8). and condenser fan will stop.
to manually reset the lockout condition , navigate to Reset.LO in LCD ,
change th value from NO to YES .
EVAPORATOR COIL FREEZE STAT
During cooling operation, if a freezestat opens, the UCB will de-
energize the associated compressor, initiate the ASCD, and
condenser fans will stop. If the call for cooling is still present at the
conclusion of the ASCD, the UCB will reenergize the halted
compressor. Should a freezestat open three times within two hours of
operation, the UCB will lock out the associated compressor , flags an
alarm on LCD (see Table 8) and condenser fan will stop.
ELECTRIC HEATING SEQUENCE OF
OPERATIONS
The following sequence describes the operation of the electric heat
section. Two--stage heating (Heaters MUST use a two stage
thermostat):
a) Upon a call for first-stage heat by the thermostat, the heater
contactor will be energized. After completing the specified
fan on delay for heating, the UCB will energize the blower
motor. If the second stage of heat is required, second
heater contactor will be energized. After completing the
specified fan on delay for heating, the UCB will energize
the blower motor.
b) The thermostat will cycle the electric heat to satisfy the
heating requirements of the conditioned space.
HEATING OPERATION ERRORS
TEMPERATURE LIMIT
If the UCB senses zero volts from the high temperature limit, the
indoor blower motor is immediately energized. This limit is monitored
regardless of unit operation status, i.e. the limit is monitored at all
times. If the temperature limit opens three times within one hour, it will
lock on the indoor blower motor and a flash code is initiated (See
Table 9).
SAFETY CONTROLS
The unit control board monitors the temperature limit switch of electric
heat units. The control circuit includes the following safety controls:
Temperature Limit Switch (AUTO)
This control is located inside the heater compartment and is set to
open at 120°F. It resets automatically. The limit switch operates when
a high temperature condition, caused by inadequate supply air flow
occurs, thus shutting down the heater and energizing the blower.
RESET
Remove the call for cooling, by raising thermostat setting higher than
the conditioned space temperature. This resets any pressure or
freezestat flash codes.
To manually reset the lockout condition , navigate to Reset.LO in LCD
, change th value from NO to YES .
ALARMS
The UCB will initiate alarm on LCD describing the error.
Refer to unit control board alarm.

REFRIGERANT PIPING CONNECTIONS
SAFETY CONTROLS
The unit control board monitors the following inputs for each cooling
system :
1. A suction line freezestat to protect against low evaporator
temperatures due to a low air flow or a low Installation, return air
temperature.
2. A high pressure switch to protect against excessive discharge
pressures due to a blocked condenser coil or a condenser motor
failure, (Opens at 610±17 psig and resets at 480±29 psig).
3. A low pressure switch to protect against loss of refrigerant charge,
(opens at 58±7 psig and resets at 87±7 psig).
The above pressure switches are hard soldered to the unit. The
refrigeration systems are independently monitored and controlled.
On any fault, only the associated system will be affected by any safety
/ preventive action. The other refrigerant system will continue in
operation unless it is affected by the fault as well.
COMPRESSOR PROTECTION
The compressors also have inherent (internal) protection. If there is an
abnormal temperature rise in a compressor, the protector will open to
shut down the compressor. The UCB incorporates features to
minimize compressor wear and damage. An anti short cycle delay
(ASCD) is utilized to prevent operation of a compressor too soon after
its previous run. Additionally, a minimum run time is imposed any time
a compressor is energized. The ASCD is initiated on unit start up and
on any compressor reset or lock out.
NUISANCE TRIP PROTECTION AND STRIKES
To prevent nuisance trouble calls, the control board uses a “three
times, you’re out” philosophy. The high and low-pressure switches and
the freezestats must trip three times within two hours before the unit
control board will lock out the associated compressor.
ALARMS
The UCB will initiate alarm on LCD describing the error.
Refer to unit control board alarm table 10.
RESET
Remove the call for cooling, by raising thermostat setting higher than
the conditioned space temperature. This resets any pressure or
freezestat flash codes.to manually reset the lockout condition ,

All refrigerating piping practices when installing these units are to be in
accordance with local codes and the latest standards of safety codes.
To ensure trouble free operation the following conditions should be
observed.
1.Do not connect this carefully dehydrated unit to tubing and cooling
units which have not been dehydrated. Tubing which may be dirty or
moist must be thoroughly cleaned and dried out.
2.When soldering valves, they are to be disassembled or wrapped in
wet cloths to prevent damage by heat. To prevent damage by heat. To
prevent formation of copper oxide on the inside of copper tubing,
nitrogen or inert gas must be passed through the piping continuously
while soldering joints.
3.Moisture in a refrigeration system is one of the main causes of
trouble, particularly to the compressor, resulting in the formation of
acids which attack the motor insulation, the valves and valve plates.
Stringent precautionary measures are taken at the factory to ensure
that the unit is clean and properly dehydrated. Equal care should be
taken at the time of installation to be sure that the system is as clean
and dry as possible. As an additional safeguard, a drier of the proper
size should be installed in the liquid line of all units.
4.A moisture indicator should also be installed which allows for quick
visible checking of the moisture content of the refrigerant. Indicators
are provided with a sight glass that contains a porous filter paper
impregnated with a chemical to change color according the moisture
content.
5.Suction lines have a great impact on the ability of a unit to run trouble
free. Improperly piped they can cause slugging, oil dilution and
lubrication failure which results in the breakdown of the compressor. It
is usually standard practice to size the suction line to have a pressure
drop, due to friction, not greater than equivalent of a 2 degree F
change in saturation temperature for halocarbon refrigerants. (R-22).
Where suction rises are necessary, if cooling units are at a lower level
than the condensing unit, a trap should be installed at the bottom of
the riser and the lines sized for the minimum system capacity. All
horizontal runs should be level or pitched towards the condensing unit
to assure oil return.Suction lines should be insulated.
6. Liquid lines should be size to have a pressure drop due to friction,
not greater than the equivalent of a 2 degree F change in saturation
temperature for halocarbon refrigerants (R-22). Condensing units are
designed to proved subcooled liquid to the expansion valve when
liquid lines are sized as noted above.
7.Expansion valves should be carefully selected to match system
requirements. The valve should be installed according to the
instructions furnished with each valve.
8.All refrigerant connections should be leak tested before the system is
charged with refrigerant. The complete system should be pressurized
to 250 psig with a small charge of refrigerant backed up with dry
nitrogen. The use of an electronic leak detector is recommended
because of its greater sensitivity to small leaks. Leaks should be
repaired as found and the test procedure repeated as necessary.
31
YORK STELLAR Commercial Ducted split series
EVACUATION
When all refrigeration connections have been made a leak test and
evacuation should be performed on the unit by licensed refrigeration
mechanic. A small portable vacuum pump should be used to evacuate
the system (evaporator coil, drier, lines, etc) after condensing unit has
been installed in the system. Do not use the compressor as a vacuum
pump. Use a vacuum pump that is built for refrigeration evacuation
equipment.
If the system is properly evacuated, using a good vacuum pump which
can pull down into the 50 to 100 micron range, the non condensables
are eliminated before the system is ever started. A good vacuum
pump with electronic gauge is desirable and highly recommended for
this procedure. The gauge may be showing 50 microns at the pump,
but if a large system is being evacuated, the vacuum level at the end
of the system may be too high. The poorer the vacuum, the poorer the
results.
This situation should not be further complicated by using too small a
connecting line between the vacuum pump and the system as it will
create a high pressure drop which will greatly reduce the efficiency of
the vacuum pump. To use the vacuum pump most efficiently a triple
evacuation method should be used. This involves pulling out the
system down to 100 microns and holding it for a period of three to four
hours and then breaking the vacuum with a dry refrigerant if it is a
small system or with nitrogen if it is a larger system. The vacuum is
pulled and broken a second time exactly as describe above. Finally a
vacuum is pulled down to 50 microns, held for a period of three to four
hours and broken with the type of refrigerant to be used in the system.
At this point the system can be charged, and you can be assured that
virtually all of the non condensable s have been removed. Triple
evacuation works on the principle of pulling out a high percentage of
the non condensables and/or water on each pull down. As an
example, suppose 90% of the non condensable are removed on the
first pull down. This would leave 10% of 1 % of the original non
condensable in the system. In addition, breaking the vacuum with dry
nitrogen or dry refrigerant has a diluting effect on moisture which has
been vaporized.
Besides being sure that the connecting line between the vacuum
pump and the refrigeration system is sufficiently large enough to
prevent pressure drop, there are three precautions to be kept in mind:
First: an ordinary compound gauge is worthless on a good vacuum
pump. The error in the gauge is greater than the amount of vacuum
being measured. There are several very good electronic gauges in the
market which are rugged and have a dial on which microns can be
read very similar to the reading of an ammeter.
Second: be sure that the system, including the factory piping of the
unit, is good and tight and has been checked for the lightest leak. A
good vacuum pump will stay ahead of a small leak and is simply
means pulling air and moisture in one and pushing it out the other.
Third: it should also be remembered that water trapped under layers of
oil will stay there regardless of the vacuum pulled and will not be
dislodged until the circulating refrigerant takes the oil up and releases
the water. If any leaks are found, make repairs. A halide torch, soap
bubbles or electronic detector may be used for leak detection.
CHARGING SYSTEM
1.As all units are shipped with a full charge and service valves to hold
the charge, they must be fully charged with the refrigerant which they
were designed. When a charging a unit you must use a clean and dry
refrigerant.
2.Open all discharge, suction and liquid line valves. Connect the
charging hose to the charge port of the liquid line valve. Be sure to
purge the hose of all air. Move the valve off its back seat and add liquid
refrigerant until the unit pressure equalizes the refrigerant cylinder

hose to the back seating port of the suction valve and purge hose of all

TROUBLE SHOOTING
COOLING TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Troubleshooting of components may require opening the electrical
control box with the power connected to the unit. Use extreme care
when working with live circuits! Check the unit nameplate for the
correct line voltage and set the voltmeter to the correct range before
making any connections with line terminals.
When not necessary, shut off all electric power to the unit prior to any
of the following maintenance procedures so as to prevent personal
injury
* On calls for cooling, if the compressors are operating but the supply
air blower motor does not energize after a short delay (the room
thermostat fan switch is in the “AUTO” position).
1.Turn the thermostat fan switch to the ON position. If the supply air
blower motor does not energize, go to Step 3.
2.If the blower motor runs with the fan switch in the ON position but will
not run after the first compressor has energized when the fan switch is
in the AUTO position, check the room thermostat for contact between
R and G in the AUTO position during calls for cooling.
3.If the supply air blower motor does not energize when the fan switch
is set to ON, check that line voltage is being supplied to the blower
contactor, and that the contactor is pulled in. Check for loose wiring
between the contactor and the supply air blower motor.
4.If blower contactor is pulled in and voltage is supplied to contactor,
lightly touch the supply air blower motor housing. If it is hot, the motor
may be off on internal protection. Cancel any thermostat calls and set
the fan switch to AUTO. Wait for the internal overload to reset. Test
again when cool.
5.If blower contactor is not pulled in, check for 24 volts at the contactor
coil. If 24 volts are present but it is not pulled in, replace the contactor
6.Failing the above, if there is line voltage supplied at contactor and it
is pulled in, and the supply air blower motor still does not operate,
replace the motor.
7.If 24 volts is not present at blower contactor, check that 24 volts is
present at the UCB supply air blower motor terminal, “FAN”. If 24 volts
is present at the FAN, check for loose wiring between the UCB and
blower contactor.
8.If 24 volts is not present at the “FAN” terminal, check for 24 volts
from the room thermostat. If 24 volts are not present from the room
thermostat, check for the following:
a) Proper operation of the room thermostat (contact between
R and G with the fan switch in the ON position and in the
AUTO position during operation calls),
b) Proper wiring between the room thermostat and the UCB,
and
c) Loose wiring from the room thermostat to the UCB.
9.If 24 volts is present at the room thermostat but not at the UCB,
check for proper wiring between the thermostat and the UCB, i.e. that
the thermostat G terminal is connected to the G terminal of the UCB,
and for loose wiring.
10.If the thermostat and UCB are properly wired, replace the UCB.
On calls for cooling, the supply air blower motor is operating but
compressor # 1 is not (the room thermostat fan switch is in the
“AUTO” position).
1.If compressor # 1 does not energize on a call for cooling, check for
line voltage at the compressor contactor 1, and that the contactor is
pulled in. Check for loose wiring between the contactor and the
compressor.
2.If compressor contactor 1 is pulled in and voltage is supplied, lightly
touch the compressor housing. If it is hot, the compressor may be off
on inherent protection. Cancel any calls for cooling and wait for the
internal overload to reset. Test again when cool.
3.If compressor contactor 1 is not pulled in, check for 24 volts at the
coil. If 24 volts are present and contactor is not pulled in, replace the
contactor.
4.Failing the above, if voltage is supplied at compressor contactor 1, it
is pulled in, and the compressor still does not operate, replace the
compressor.
5.If 24 volts is not present at compressor contactor 1, check for 24
volts at the UCB terminal, C1. If 24 volts is present, check for loose
wiring between C1 and the compressor contactor.
6.If 24 volts is not present at the C1 terminal, check for 24 volts from
the room thermostat at the UCB Y1 terminal. If 24 volts is not present
from the room thermostat, check for the following:
• Proper wiring between the room thermostat and the UCB,
i.e. Y1 to Y1, Y2 to Y2,Y3 to Y3 & Y4 to Y4.
• Loose wiring from the room thermostat to the UCB.
33
YORK STELLAR Commercial Ducted split series
7.If 24 volts is present at the UC may be out due to an open high
pressure switch, low pressureB Y1 terminal, the compressor switch, or
freezestat. Check for 24 volts at the HPS1, LPS1, and FS1 terminals
of the UCB. If a switch has opened, there should be a voltage potential
between the UCB terminals, e.g. If LPS1 has opened, there will be a
24 volt potential between the LPS1 terminals
8.If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y1 terminal and none of the
protection switches have opened, the UCB may have locked out the
compressor for repeat trips. If the compressor is locked out, cancel any
call for cooling. This will reset any compressor lock outs.
NOTE: While the above step will reset any lockouts, compressor # 1
may be held off for the ASCD. See the next step.
9.If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y1 terminal and none of the
switches are open and the compressor is not locked out, the UCB may
have the compressor in an ASCD. The ASCD should time out within 5
minutes.
10.If none of the above corrected the error, test the integrity of the
UCB. Disconnect the C1 terminal wire and jumper it to the Y1 terminal.
DO NOT jump the Y1 to C1 terminals. If the compressor engages, the
UCB has faulted.
11.If none of the above correct the error, replace the UCB.
*On calls for the second stage of cooling, the supply air blower motor
and compressor # 1 are operating but compressor # 2 is not (the room
thermostat fan switch is in the “AUTO” position).
1.Compressor # 2 will not energize simultaneously with compressor #1
if a call for both stages of cooling is received. The UCB delays
compressor # 2 by 30 seconds to prevent a power surge. If after the
delay compressor # 2 does not energize on a second stage call for
cooling, check for line voltage at the compressor contactor 2, and that
the contactor is pulled in. Check for loose wiring between the contactor
and the compressor.
2.If compressor contactor 2 is pulled in and voltage is supplied, lightly
touch the compressor housing. If it is hot, the compressor may be off
on inherent protection. Cancel any calls for cooling and wait for the
internal overload to reset.Test again when cool.
3.If compressor contactor 2 is not pulled in, check for 24 volts at the
compressor contactor coil. If 24 volts is present and compressor
contactor is not pulled in, replace the contactor.
4.Failing the above, if voltage is supplied at compressor.
5.Contactor 2, and it is pulled in, and the compressor still does not
operate, replace the compressor. 5. If 24 volts is not present at
compressor contactor 2, check for 24 volts at the UCB terminal, C2. If
24 volts are present, check for loose wiring between C2 and the
compressor contactor.
6.If 24 volts is not present at the C2 terminal, check for 24 volts from
the room thermostat at the UCB Y2 terminal. If 24 volts is not present
from the room thermostat, check for the following :
• 24 volts at the thermostat Y2 terminal.
• Proper wiring between the room thermostat and the UCB,
i.e.Y1 to Y1, Y2 to Y2.
• Loose wiring from the room thermostat to the UCB.
7.If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y2 terminal, the compressor may be
out due to an open high pressure switch, low pressure switch, or
freezestat. Check for 24 volts at the HPS2, LPS2, and FS2 terminals
of the UCB. If a switch has opened, there should be a voltage potential
between the UCB terminals, e.g. if LPS2 has opened, there will be 24
volts of potential between the LPS2 terminals.
8.If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y2 terminal and none of the
protection switches have opened, the UCB may have locked out the
compressor for repeat trips. If the compressor is locked out, remove
any call for cooling at the thermostat or by disconnecting the
thermostat wiring at the Y2 UCB terminal. This will reset any
Installation, compressor lock outs.
NOTE:While the above step will reset any lock outs, compressor # 1
will be held off for the ASCD, and compressor # 2 may be held off for a
portion of the ASCD. See the next step.
9.If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y2 terminal and none of the
switches are open and the compressor is not locked out, the UCB may
have the compressor in an ASCD. The ASCD should time out within 5
minutes.
10.The UCB can be programmed to lock out compressor operation
during free cooling and in low ambient conditions. These options are
not enabled by default. Local distributors can test the UCB for this
programming.
11.If none of the above corrected the error, test the integrity of the
UCB. Disconnect the C2 terminal wire and jumper it to the Y2 terminal.
DO NOT jump the Y2 to C2 terminals. If the compressor engages, the
UCB has faulted.
12.If none of the above correct the error, replace the UCB.
*On a call for cooling, the supply air blower motor and compressor # 2
are operating but compressor # 1 is not (the room thermostat fan
switch is in the “AUTO” position).
1.Compressor # 3 will not energize simultaneously with compressor 1
& 2, if a call for third stage of cooling is received. The UCB delays

MAINTENANCE
Outdoor unit:
The Stellar Air Cooled Condensing Units are premium quality machines with very low maintenance requirements.
Compressors used in Units are of Scroll type and are charged with the correct amount of refrigerant and lubricating oil.
Unless there is a leak in the system, no topping up is generally required.

Every 6 months
In addition to the maintenance done every three months :

• The condenser coils should be cleaned by spraying water over it at low pressure or with a brush while ensuring that the fins are not damaged.
• Check all electrical connections and tighten them if required.
• Clean all accessible electrical panels of dirt and dust. Before cleaning the control panels , ENSURE that the electrical power to the unit is
switched off.

Every 12 months
In addition to the maintenance done every six months :

• Use a proper cleaning cloth to clean fan blades and motors.

• Ensure that the unit is working properly by checking, current, voltages, pressures and temperatures.
• Check the earthing or grounding of the unit.
• Check the exterior of the unit for any signs of corrosion. Even though it is highly unlikely, if any corrosion that is seen, should be removed by
proper sanding the surface. Repaint the unit with proper touch up paint, available from YORK®.
• Check the unit for any unusual vibrations or noise, locate the cause and rectify it by changing mounts, base.

Indoor unit:

Filter Part
When cleaning the filter, beat the accumulated foreign matters off it. If required, clean it with the warm water filled with liquid detergent, dry it and
reassemble it back to the filter frame.The filter can be removed from the unit only by dissemble the cover plate in the side or on the bottom of the
filter frame.

Operating
1.Remove the filter with dust collected in the metal frame away from the slip fitting carefully. Be careful not
to dirty other parts.
2.Shake the filter and wash it in the soap solution of 40 .
3.Replace the filter if it has been damaged.
4.For the installation of a new filter, operate according to steps above in reverse order.

Fan Part
1.Before repair the internal part of the fan, switch off the control switch.
2.Check the V-belt and its tension regularly. If it is found that the tensile force applied to the belt is not enough, retighten it. For correct tension data, refer
to the Belt Tension Indicator.
3.Check the alignment of motor, fan V-belt and pulley.
4.Check whether the interior flexible device is fixed firmly.
5.Check whether the motor can operate freely.
6.Inspect the maintenance instruction provided by the motor supplier.

Points for Attention during Maintenance

1.The full-time technicians should be assigned for the maintenance of the air conditioner unit and also should be responsible for the daily inspection and
regular repairing. It is necessary to formulate a strict job responsibility system and lay down operating rules to strength the regular maintenance and
service repair
2.Clean the inside of the unit regularly.
3.Check the electrical equipment of the unit regularly.
4.Lubricate the parts needing lubricating with grease additionally after 6-month to one-year operation of the
unit.
5.Before the unit is repaired, switch off the power and set a warning sign to avoid risk due to mis-operation.

Failure Analysis

Low Air Flow Rate

The actual static pressure needed in the outside of the unit is greater than the design static pressure and the air flow rate is turned into the static
pressure.Thus, the air flow rate is lower than the normal.The loose belt reduces the rotation speed of the fan, resulting in a low air flow rate.

High Air Flow Rate

The actual static pressure needed in the outside of the unit is lower than the design static pressure,and the static pressure is turned into the air flow
rate, making the air flow rate higher than the normal.The increased air flow rate makes the wind speed increase, and the unit noise level is rising
accordingly.

High-level Noise
Check whether there is a flexible connection between the air return and delivery duct; whether the lifting device is supplied with a shock absorber;
whether the wind speed at the air outlet is over high and whether there is any part loose

Belt Breaking
In this case, check whether the belt is under overtension;whether there is dis-alignment between the fan and the motor belt pulley or the belt quality is
poor..

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
DX LINE SIZING RECOMMENDATIONS
The piping must conform to the local codes. For the best pipe sizing
and design practices, refer to either the information in this manual or
the ASHRAE Refrigeration Handbook. These contain refrigerant line
sizing for full and minimum capacities and other pertinent engineering
information for a wide application range.
The tables listed below are presented for the 35, 45 and 55°F
saturated suction temperatures, which are typical for these systems.
The tables are included at the end of this manual in the Appendix.
APPENDIX

Table 14 – Special Fitting Losses in Equivalent Feet of Pipe
(ASHRAE).
Table 15 – Valve Losses in Equivalent Feet of Pipe (ASHRAE).
Table 16 – HGBP Line Sizing for R-410a
Keeping the condensing unit and air-handler as close
together as possible is recommended. This is important for
assuring oil return and compressor reliability.
It is also important that the total equivalent feet of piping be 150 feet or
less (Always review IOM for maximum limitations).
Proper refrigerant pipe selection and design is crucial for efficient and
reliable operation of the refrigeration system. It is also important to
keep liquid refrigerant/oil slugs from entering the compressor and for
assuring oil return. Over-sizing the piping reduces the refrigerant
pressure drop, but can inhibit oil return and adds unnecessary first
cost. On the other hand, under-sizing the piping increases the
refrigerant pressure drop, which affects system performance and
lowers the efficiency.
For best results, use long radius elbows (short radius elbows have
higher pressure drops) for everything except oil traps. Also, clean
copper tubing for refrigeration and air conditioning application should
be used throughout. Provisions must be made for piping contraction
and expansion of 3/4” per 100’ of pipe.
Table 12 shows suction line sizing recommendations, which are
typically based on 2°F (Nominal 4.5 PSI for R-410a) loss.
As was illustrated in SECTION 2 - EQUIPMENT SELECTION, a
typical 2°F drop in suction pressure can reduce the system capacity by
about 3%. Therefore, it is good practice to design the suction piping
with no more than a 2°F line loss at full load.

ACTUAL PIPING ROUTING VERSUS

ORIGINAL PIPING DESIGN
It is extremely important that the piping design on a ACCU system is
correct to assure oil is returned and liquid slugging does not result.
Often during installation, piping is not routed according to the original
designer’s specifications. Problems can often result when piping is
rerouted around obstacles. Whenever a change is made to the routing
of the piping, the installer should consult with the designer prior to
Additionally, care must be taken not to oversize the suction piping,
making the change. This will assure that the change will not affect
because oil return can be compromised to the compressors. The
system oil return or cause liquid slugging.
horizontal suction line runs should be sloped ½” per 10 linear feet in
the direction of refrigerant flow to promote moving oil toward the
compressors. Trapped sections of the suction line must be avoided.

Oil and refrigerant, which condenses in the line during off periods,
must drain into the compressor and will be boiled off by the
compressor heater. This prevents oil and liquid refrigerant slugging of
the compressors.

YORK STELLAR Commercial Ducted split series
Orders should never be accepted without underground piped details
worked out, and having Application Engineering SQ (Special
Quotation) acceptance. Figure 9 offers an example of when
underground piping is never acceptable.
Many systems require suction risers, because the DX coil is located at
a lower level than the condensing unit. These suction risers must be
sized to ensure oil entrainment up the riser at the lowest step of
loading. In some cases double suction risers may be required.
All suction lines with a vertical rise exceeding 3’ should have an oil trap
at the bottom and top (inverted) of the riser. A maximum suction line
rise of 40’ is recommended (Always consult Application Engineering
on risers over 40 feet). Any riser in excess of 20’ should have a trap
installed mid-way up the riser (e.g. 14’ for a 28’ total rise). An inverted
trap should be placed at the top of a single suction riser. Use long
radius elbows wherever possible, except when fabricating oil return
traps at the bottom of the vertical riser, which should use short radius
45° street elbows. Short radius elbows will minimize the amount of oil
trapped in the system. See Figure 11.
Figure 11: Suction Oil line trap
If the DX coil is above the ACCU, the suction piping must rise above
the top of the coil to form an inverted trap. See Figure 10. The inverted
trap will keep liquid refrigerant from condensing in the evaporator,
during the off cycle, and draining into the compressors. An oil trap
should be installed at the bottom of the vertical rise. This is
recommended by expansion valve manufacturers to keep the oil away
from the bulb during operation.
Figure 10: PIPING WITH DX COIL ABOVE COMPRESSOR
LIQUID LINES
Table 12 (see Appendix) provides liquid line sizing recommendations,
which is typically based on 1°F (3 PSI) line loss for 4.75 PSI for R-
410a. Liquid lines carry liquid refrigerant from the condensing unit to
the DX coil.
Liquid line routing is typically not as crucial as suction line routing,
since oil is flowing with the liquid refrigerant, oil movement is not a
problem. However, the line slope should always be in the direction of
refrigerant flow to assure oil flow during off periods is toward the
compressors. Pressure losses occur due to the filter drier, liquid line
solenoid valve, sight glass, and friction in the piping.
Typical pressure loss can be found in SECTION 6 - NECESSARY
COMPONENTS for the liquid line solenoid valve, filter/drier, and sight
glass.
If the pressure of the liquid refrigerant falls below its saturation
temperature, some of the liquid will flash into vapor and bubbles will
develop in the liquid. Such vapor bubbles cause the TXV to operate
erratically, which reduces not only performance and capacity, but can
cause reliability problems.
Therefore, it is important that only liquid refrigerant reaches the TXV.
To ensure this, the liquid refrigerant should be sub-cooled by 15-17°F,
before it leaves the condenser. The sub-cooling should be adjusted
when the ACCU is operating fully loaded at the 95°F ambient and
saturated suction temperature design conditions. Keep in mind that
lower ambient temperatures will reflect higher subcooling numbers.
The liquid line piping and components must be properly sized not to
exceed 63 PSI for R-410a (maximum limits based on 11% safety at
15°F subcooling design). Liquid pressure drop (or gain) due to a
vertical section of liquid line must be taken into consideration when
determining total pressure drop (or gain) of the liquid line.
The nominal value that must be included in the liquid line loss (or gain)
is 0.5 PSI/foot of rise or gain (typical R-410a). To assure sub-cooled
liquid to the TXV, it is recommended that the DX coil be no more than
the distances above the condensing unit shown in Table 11.
Table 11 – Maximum Vertical Liquid Line Riser
* Includes allowance for loss on liquid line solenoid valve, filter/dryer
and sight glass. (Total 5 PSI).
** Contact application engineer when over these limits.

BASIC TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL DESIGNS
The following tips apply to all piping examples shows in
Figure 12
Liquid Line Piping, Liquid Line Solenoid Valve, and TXV’s
•The total equivalent feet of piping should be 150 feet or less.
•Slope piping toward coils for oil return during the off cycle.
•Use long radius elbows to reduce pressure drop.
•Use only one liquid line solenoid valve per ACCU Refrigerant System.
•Size TXV’s according to individual coil capacity. Minimum capacity
must not exceed 30% of valves rated capacity.
•Mount TXV bulb on clean pipe at 4 or 8 o’clock position with 2 copper
straps on the outlet of the respective coil. Insulate the TXV bulb.
•The equalizing line for each TXV must enter the top of the suction
pipe.
•See Table 11 for the Maximum Vertical Height (ft.) for the DX Coil
above the ACCU.
DX COILS
•DX coils in a system should always be configured for full face
operation. Otherwise, TXV control and liquid slugging will damage
compressors.
•If the DX coil is above the ACCU, the Suction Piping must rise above
the top of the Coil to form an inverted trap. See Figure 10.
HOT GAS BYPASS
•Assure hot gas piping enters the distributor (or auxiliary side
connection-ASC) tap on each coil from the top.
•Hot gas piping should always slope to drain into the coils.
•Hot gas piping should be designed to not allow oil and refrigerant to
be trapped during the off cycle. Trapping liquid and oil creates the
danger of a liquid slug when the hot gas is energized.
•Size hot gas to approx. 100% capacity of the minimum stage of
cooling.
•Activate hot gas whenever any compressor is running. This may
involve rewiring the HGBP to be in parallel with the LLSV, providing full
time HGBP.
•Ιnsulate the hot gas bypass line.
•Always install check valves at the ASC side connection when multiple
branch circuits are utilized.
CONTROLS
• Avoid, when possible, running the ACCU when in economizer mode.
If operating the ACCU in economizer mode, hot gas must be installed
to assure a minimum load.

•Assure distributor nozzles are properly sized for the coil capacity.

SUCTION LINE PIPING

•The total equivalent feet of piping should be 150 feet or less.

•Slope suction piping toward the compressors for oil return and to
assure that liquid condensing in the suction line drains into the
compressors and is boiled off by the heaters. Do not allow the suction
line to create a liquid and oil trap between the coil and the
compressors.

•Use long radius elbows to reduce pressure drop except for oil traps.

•Ιnstall a P-trap on the outlet of the DX coil.

•Insulate the suction line.

•Never run suction piping underground.

•Use double risers whenever refrigerant velocity falls below 1000 FPM.

•Use inverted traps at the top of suction risers.

•Always consult Application Engineering on risers that exceed 40 feet.

•Make oil traps as small as possible in suction risers.

•Use intermediate oil traps on suction risers greater than 20 ft, located
midway on the riser.

is 20 feet or more above the AHU, DX coil. An oil trap is required mid
way up the vertical rise. The horizontal suction line must be sloped a

will need only single risers. In lieu of double suction risers, the vertical
suction riser can be downsized for proper oil entrainment at minimum

Application Considerations:

The lines should be installed so that they will not obstruct service access to the indoor coil, air handling system or
filter. Install the lines with as few bends as possible. Care must be taken not to damage the couplings or kink the
tubing. Care must also be used to isolate the refrigerant lines to minimize noise transmission from the equipment to
the structure. Never solder vapor and liquid lines together. They can be taped together for convenience and support
purposes, but they must be completely insulated from each other. Use long radius elbows wherever possible. Insulate
all vapor lines with a minimum of 1/2 inch of foam rubber. Liquid lines that will be exposed to direct sunlight or high
ambient temperatures such as an attic must also be insulated.

INDOOR UNIT ABOVE OUTDOOR UNIT

With this configuration, a common problem with the cooling cycle is that the amount of liquid sub-cooling varies
as operating conditions change (such as outdoor ambient). Under some conditions, it is possible that flashing
will actually occur in the liquid riser. As long as only liquid is present in the liquid riser, the liquid static pressure
loss can be calculated at 1/2 psi per foot of rise. When the indoor unit is above the outdoor unit, the pressure
loss in the liquid line during the cooling cycle will limit the amount of elevation difference allowed. Since both
friction and static head contribute to pressure loss, it can be stated that the elevation difference allowed
decreases as the total equivalent line length (horizontal plus vertical) increases. The elevation difference should
not exceed 66 ft.

OUTDOOR UNIT ABOVE INDOOR UNIT

When the outdoor unit is above the indoor unit, the static pressure gain in the liquid line vertical drop (1/2 psi per
foot) may overcome the frictional pressure loss resulting in a total pressure gain. A pressure gain in the liquid
line is not detrimental to the performance of the system. With this configuration, gas velocity in the vapor riser
must be kept above 1000 feet per minute for proper oil return and below 3000 feet per minute to avoid noise
and vibration problems.

REFRIGERANT OIL MANAGEMENT

Inherent to all refrigeration systems is the presence of refrigerant oil required for proper and continuous
lubrication of the compressor(s) bearings. All refrigeration systems, whether they are packaged or split-systems
circulate oil throughout the system due to the miscibility of refrigerant oil. Split-systems, due to their propensity
for long piping lengths, can circulate more refrigerant oil than packaged units, which can become a problem if
not recognized and managed. It is not unusual for a given system to circulate as much as 15% of the original
compressor oil charge. Yet another side-effect of long piping runs on split-systems is the aspect of system oil
logging which can occur even in the best of installations. Even the best piping practices can inadvertently create
oil traps in the system especially when elevation differences between the indoor and outdoor units occur.
