WARNING
Heavy Objects!
Ensure that all the lifting equipment used is properly
rated for the weight of the unit being lifted. Each of the
cables (chains or slings), hooks, and shackles used to
lift the unit must be capable of supporting the entire
weight of the unit. Lifting cables (chains or slings) may
not be of the same length. Adjust as necessary for even
unit lift. Other lifting arrangements could cause
equipment or property damage. Failure to follow
instructions above or properly lift unit could result in
unit dropping and possibly crushing operator/
technician which could result in death or serious injury.

WARNING
Improper Unit Lift!
Test lift unit approximately 24 inches to verify proper
center of gravity lift point. To avoid dropping of unit,
reposition lifting point if unit is not level. Failure to
properly lift unit could result in unit dropping and
possibly crushing operator/technician which could
result in death or serious injury and possible equipment
or property-only damage.

not remove the crating from the top of the unit.
2. Rig the unit as shown in Figure 11, p. 18. Attach

brackets in the unit base rail. Do not use cables, chains,
or slings except as shown.
3. Install a lifting bar, as shown in Figure 11, p. 18, to
protect the unit and to facilitate a uniform lift. The
minimum distance between the lifting hook and the
top of the unit should be 7 feet.
4. Test-lift the unit to ensure it is properly rigged and
balanced, make any necessary rigging adjustments.
5. Lift the unit and position it into place.

Smoke Detector
Customer Low Voltage Wiring
When interlocking System Sensor smoke detectors
together, all of the detectors must be powered from the
same power supply. If multiple smoke detectors are
required, all detectors must be disconnected from the
HVAC unit power supply and connected together from
another single source supply.
Notes:
• Do not interconnect smoke detectors together that
have separate power supplies. Do not exceed ten
smoke detectors on one power supply.
• Multiple System Sensor smoke detectors are
connected together using terminals 1 and 12 on each
detector.
If you have supply and return smoke detectors in all HVAC
units, you can connect a maximum of five HVAC units
(10 detectors) up to one power supply. Refer to the field
wiring example in Figure 18.
If you have more than five HVAC units, you can connect all
the supplies together on one power supply (up to 10 HVAC
units), and all the returns together (up to 10 HVAC units) on

Space Temperature Averaging


Space temperature averaging is accomplished by wiring a
number of remote sensors in a series/parallel circuit.
Using the BAYSENS016* or BAYSENS077*, at least four
sensors are required to accomplish space temperature
averaging.
Example #1 illustrates two series circuits with two sensors
in each circuit wired in parallel. The square of any number
of remote sensors required. Example #2 illustrates three
sensors squared in a series/parallel circuit. Example #3
illustrates the circuit required for this senor. Table 5 lists

sensing.

these wires will disable three-stage cooling.
Each compressor can be equipped with a crankcase
heater. The proper operation of the crankcase heater is
important to maintain an elevated compressor oil
temperature during the “Off” cycle to reduce oil foaming
during compressor starts. Oil foaming occurs when
refrigerant condenses in the compressor and mixes with
the oil. In lower ambient conditions, refrigerant migration
to the compressor could increase.
When the compressor starts, the sudden reduction in
crankcase pressure causes the liquid refrigerant to boil
rapidly causing the oil to foam. This condition could
damage compressor bearings due to reduced lubrication
and could cause compressor mechanical failures.
Before starting the unit in the “Cooling” mode, set the
system switch to the “Off” position and turn the main
power disconnect to the “On” position and allow the
crankcase heater to operate a minimum of 8 hours.

Final System Set Up


After completing all of the pre-start and start-up
procedures outlined in the previous sections (i.e.,
operating the unit in each of its modes through all
available stages of cooling and heating), perform these
final checks before leaving the unit:
• Program the Night Setback (NSB) panel (if applicable)
for proper unoccupied operation. Refer to the
programming instructions for the specific panel.
• Verify that the Remote panel “System” selection
switch, “Fan” selection switch, and “Zone
Temperature” settings for automatic operation are
correct.
• Inspect the unit for misplaced tools, hardware, and
debris.
• Verify that all exterior panels including the control
panel doors and condenser grilles are secured in place.
• Close the main disconnect switch or circuit protector
switch that provides the supply power to the unit’s
terminal block or the unit mounted disconnect switch.

Moreover, chemical cleaners are a risk factor to MCHE due
to the material of the coil. The manufacturer does not
recommend the use of chemical cleaners to clean

warranty claims being further evaluated for validity and
failure analysis.
The recommended cleaning method for microchannel
condenser coils is pressurized water or air with a non-
pinpoint nozzle and an ECU of at least 180 with pressure no
greater than 600 psi. To minimize the risk of coil damage,
approach the cleaning of the coil with the pressure washer
aimed perpendicular to the face of the coil during cleaning. _
