1.1 UNIT LOCATION A. The unit is designed for indoor use only. For most efficient operation, locate the chiller in a clean, dry and well ventilated environment. B. The unit has an air-cooled refrigerant condenser. For air-cooled condensers, a motor driven fan generates air flow through the condenser to remove heat from the refrigerant system. The air- cooled condenser on the unit will discharge a maximum of 15,000 BTUs per hour per ton of cooling. C. The unit must have a minimum entering air tem

B. Please be aware that effective July 1, 1992, it is unlawful for any person in the course of maintaining, servicing, repairing, or disposing of refrigeration equipment to knowingly vent or otherwise dispose of any class 2 substance used as a refrigerant in the manner which permits such substance to enter the environment. C. De minimis releases associated with good faith attempts to recapture, reclaim, or recycle such substance shall not be subject to the prohibition set forth in the preceding

2.1 GENERAL A. All process piping materials (such as hose, rigid piping, valves or filters) used in process water piping circuitry must be rated for 100°F minimum temperature and 100 PSI minimum pressure. B. All such materials must have the equivalent or larger diameter of the particular process connection that length of process water piping is connected to. From process connection: connect to “water out” on process manifold To process connection: connect to “water in” on process manifold 2.2 T

2.3 DRAIN CONNECTION: A. The unit is supplied as standard with a ProCon type pump. In some cases, it may be necessary to drain the unit. This is done by removing the pump volute plug in the pump assembly. B. Note that if chemical treatment of process fluid or additives are use, drainage shall be done according to local codes. C. It is important to note that drainage procedures must be done prior to shipment or outdoor storage or the unit. If not, freezing damage can occur. Motor Thermocouple Pum

2.5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION A. NEMA 1 MODELS 1. Electrical power supply requirements for Nema 1 units (figure 2.5A) are identified on the equipment data plate. Verify that available voltage supply is the same as the unit’s voltage requirements. WARNING: Do not connect the unit to a voltage supply source not equal to the unit’s voltage requirements as specified on the unit’s data plate. Use of incorrect voltage will void the unit’s warranty and cause a significant hazard that may result in serious

B. OPERATIONS 1. Turn the thermostat to the highest setting. 2. Shift the illuminated toggle switch to the ‘ON’ position. The pump will begin operations. Note the reservoir level, if it drops below 3/4 full, add fluid. 3. Check the unit and process system for leaks. Repair any that are discovered. 4. Adjust the setpoint thermostat as required for the process. 5. Note, the compressor will start if the fluid temperature is above the selected setpoint temperature. When the compressor starts, listen
