A. GENERAL
The following instructions cover the TTA030-036C, &
TTA042-072D.
NOTICE: These outdoor units may be used with indoor
units equipped with Capillary Tube, Thermostatic Expansion Valve or the Accutron Flow Control Check
Valve (F.C.C.V.) assembly for refrigerant flow control.
Check for transportation damage after unit is uncrated. Report
promptly, to the carrier, any damage found to the unit.
To determine the electrical power requirements of the unit,
refer to the nameplate of the unit. The electrical power available must agree with that listed on the nameplate.
B. LOCATION & PREPARATION OF THE UNIT
1. The unit should be set on a level support pad at least as large
as the unit base pan.
2. The support pad must NOT be in direct contact with any
structure. The unit must be positioned a minimum of 12" from
any wall or surrounding shrubbery to insure adequate airflow.
A 30" clearance must be provided in front of control box (access
panels) & any other side requiring service access to meet
National Electrical Code. The unit must be far enough away
from any structure to prevent excess roof run-off water from
pouring directly on the unit.
3. The top discharge area must be unrestricted for at least five
(5) feet above the unit.
4. When the outdoor unit is mounted on a roof, be sure the roof
will support the units weight. Properly selected vibration
isolators are recommended to prevent transmission to the
building structure.
5. The maximum length of refrigerant lines from outdoor to
indoor unit should NOT exceed sixty (60) feet.
American Standard Inc. 1999
6. If the outdoor unit is mounted above the air handler, maximum lift should not exceed sixty (60) feet (suction line). If air
handler is mounted above the condensing unit, maximum lift
should not exceed sixty (60) feet (liquid line).
NOTE: Refer to Refrigerant Piping Guide, Pub. No. 22-3238-02.
7. Locate and install indoor coil or blower coil in accordance
with instruction included with that unit.

product improvement, it reserves the right to change
specifications and design without notice.
INSTALLER'S GUIDE
C. ACCUTRON FLOW CONTROL VALVE
If the indoor unit System Refrigerant Flow control is an
Accutron orifice and check valve assembly, an orifice size
change may be necessary.
The outdoor model determines the required orifice size. Check
the listed orifice size on nameplate of the selected outdoor
model. If the indoor unit is factory shipped with a different
orifice size, the orifice must be changed to obtain system rated
performance.
IMPORTANT: The outdoor unit is shipped with the proper
size orifice and a stick-on orifice size label in an envelope
attached to the outdoor unit. Outdoor unit nameplate will have
correct orifice size specified as BAYFCCV --- A for rated
performance.

D. INSTALLING REFRIGERANT LINES

Condensing units have provisions for braze connections.
AS SHIPPED
Pressure taps are provided on the service valves of outdoor unit

for compressor suction and liquid pressures.
The indoor end of recommended refrigerant line sets may be
straight or with a 90 degree bend, depending upon situation
requirements. This should be thoroughly checked out before
ordering refrigerant line sets.
The gas line must always be insulated.
The units are factory charged with the system charge required
when using fifteen (15) feet of connecting line. Unit nameplate
charge is the same. If final refrigerant charge adjustment is
necessary, use the Charge Charts in the outdoor unit Service
Facts.
1. Determine the most practical way to run the lines.
2. Consider types of bends to be made and space limitations.
NOTE: Large diameter tubing will be very difficult to rebend
once it has been shaped.
3. Determine the best starting point for routing the refrigerant
tubing--INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE STRUCTURE.
4. Provide a pull-thru hole of sufficient size to allow both liquid
and gas lines plus fittings to clear. The location of this hole (if
practical) should be just above the wall plate which is resting on
the foundation.
5. Be sure the tubing is of sufficient length.
FIELD SUPPLIED
LIQUID LINE
E. SERVICE VALVE OPERATION

BRASS LIQUID AND GAS LINE SERVICE VALVE
OPERATION
The Service Valves are factory shipped in the seated position to
hold factory charge. The pressure tap service port (when
depressed) opens only to the field brazing side of the valve when
the valve is in the seated position. The liquid line valve is not
a back seating valve (see WARNING below).
WARNING:
Extreme caution should be

exercised so the internal steel stem retaining ring is not
damaged by backing out the valve stem when opening
the valve. If the valve stem is forced out past the
retaining ring, system pressure could force the valve
stem out of the valve body. If the retaining ring is
missing, do not attempt to open the valve. See Figure 3.
BRASS GAS LINE BALL SERVICE VALVE
The Brass Gas Line Ball Service Valve is shipped in the closed
position to hold the factory refrigerant charge. The pressure tap
service port (when depressed) opens only to the field brazing
side when the valve is in the closed position.
6. Uncoil the tubing --- do not kink or dent.
The Gas Line Service Valve is full open with a 1/4 turn counterclockwise. See Figure 4.
7. Route the tubing making all required bends and properly

secure the tubing before making connections.
BRAZING REFRIGERANT LINES
8. To prevent a noise within the building structure due to

vibration transmission from the refrigerant lines, the following
precautions should be taken:
a. When the refrigerant lines have to be fastened to floor
joists or other framing in a structure, use isolation type hangers.
1. Before brazing, remove plugs from external copper stub

tubes. Clean internal and external surfaces of stub tubes prior
to brazing.
2. Cut and fit tubing minimizing the use of sharp 90 bends.
3. Insulate the entire gas line and its fittings.
b. Isolation hangers should also be used when refrigerant

lines are run in stud spaces or enclosed ceilings.
4. Do NOT allow uninsulated liquid line to come in direct

contact with bare gas line.
c. Where the refrigerant lines run through a wall or sill,

they should be insulated and isolated.
5. Precautions should be taken to avoid heat damage to

the pressure tap valve core during brazing. It is recommended that the pressure tap port valve core be removed
and a wet rag wrapped around the valve body.
d. Isolate the lines from all ductwork.
NOTICE: Use care to make sure that no moisture enters

pressure tap port, while wet rag is being used.

6. Remove braze shield from clear plastic bag. Soak pad in

water and place over suction and liquid lines to protect unit
finish. See figure 5. Discard pad when finished with brazing.
7. Use a Dry Nitrogen Purge and Brazing Alloy without flux
when brazing the field line to the copper factory connection.
Flow dry nitrogen into either valve pressure tap port, thru the
tubing and out the other port while brazing.
8. Braze using accepted good brazing techniques.
LEAK CHECK
CAUTION:
In scroll compressor applications, dome temperatures may be hot. Do not touch top
of compressor, may cause minor to severe burning.
IMPORTANT: Replace pressure tap port valve core
before attaching hoses for evacuation.
After brazing operation of refrigerant lines to both the outdoor
and indoor unit is completed, the field brazed connections must
be checked for leaks. Pressurize through the service valve

ports, the indoor unit and field refrigerant lines with dry
nitrogen to 200 psi. Use soap bubbles or other leak-checking
methods to see that all field joints are leak-free! If not, release
pressure; then repair!
SYSTEM EVACUATION
NOTE: Since the outdoor unit has a refrigerant charge, the gas
and liquid line valves must remain closed.
1. Upon completion of leak check, evacuate the refrigerant
lines and indoor coil before opening the gas and liquid line
valves.
2. Attach appropriate hoses from manifold gauge to gas and
liquid line pressure taps.
NOTE: Unnecessary switching of hoses can be avoided and
complete evacuation of all lines leading to sealed system can be
accomplished with manifold center hose and connecting branch
hose to a cylinder of HCFC-22 and vacuum pump.
3. Attach center hose of manifold gauges to vacuum pump.

4. Evacuate until the micron gauge reads no higher than 350

microns.
5. Close off valve to vacuum pump and observe the micron
gauge. If gauge pressure rises above 500 microns in one (1)
minute, then evacuation is incomplete or system has a leak.
6. If vacuum gauge does not rise above 500 microns in one (1)
minute, the evacuation should be complete.

backout counterclockwise until valve stem just touches retainer ring (approximately five (5) turns) observing WARNING
statement. See Figure 3.
10. Replace liquid service pressure tap port cap and valve stem
cap. These caps MUST BE REPLACED to prevent leaks.
Replace valve stem and pressure tap cap finger tight, then
tighten an additional 1/6 turn.
11. The gas valve can now be opened. For a ball type gas valve,
open the valve by removing the shut-off valve cap and turning
the valve stem 1/4 turn counterclockwise. See Figure 4. For
brass gas line service valve opening, follow items 9 & 10 above.
See Figure 3.
12. The gas valve is now open for refrigerant flow. Replace
valve stem cap to prevent leaks. See Figures 3 & 4.
7. Table 1 defines maximum total length of low voltage wiring

from outdoor unit, to indoor unit, and to thermostat.
8. Mount the indoor thermostat in accordance with instruction
included with the thermostat. Wire per appropriate hook-up
diagram (included in these instructions).
G. COMPRESSOR SUMP HEAT
After all electrical wiring is complete, SET THE THERMOSTAT SYSTEM SWITCH IN THE OFF POSITION SO
COMPRESSOR WILL NOT RUN, and apply power by closing
the system main disconnect switch. This will activate the
compressor sump heat. Do not change the Thermostat System
Switch until power has been applied long enough to evaporate
any liquid HCFC-22 in the compressor (30 minutes for each
pound of HCFC-22 in the system as shown on the nameplate).
Following this procedure will prevent compressor damage at
the initial startup.
It may be necessary to adjust system refrigerant charge upon

completion of installation. System should be operated and
checked for proper charge.
Record the POWER APPLIED DATE on the designated lines

below:
F. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Time _____________________A.M./P.M.
CAUTION:
Date ______________
Three phase scroll compressors

will run in reverse if powered up with improper phasing.
If the compressor is running backwards there will be
little or no difference in suction and discharge pressure
and it will make a distinct louder sound. Reversing any
two of the field installed power leads will correct the
compressor rotation. Failure to change the power leads
to correct compressor rotation may result in compressor
damage during operation.

WIRING DIAGRAM FOR GAM5A0B30M21SAA
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION FOR GAM5A0B30M21SAA

3. The combination of 24VAC on the Y terminal and zero
volts on the O terminal signals the EVC that the unit is in
heat-pump heating mode.
GAM5 Sequence of Operation:

Abbreviations
TDR = Time Delay Relay
4. Normally closed contacts on the EVC will pass 24VAC

to the YO terminal providing power to the outdoor unit
control circuit
EVC = Expansion Valve Control

EEV = Electronic Expansion Valve
5. The blower motor will now run on high speed
YI = Y signal into the EVC from the comfort control
Cooling OD
YO = Y signal out of the EVC from the comfort control

OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer
1. R-Y contacts close on the comfort control sending 24VAC

to Y terminal on TDR and the YI (Y In) terminal on the
EVC
See unit, electric heat, and field wiring diagrams for additional
information.
2. R-G contacts also close on the comfort control sending

24VAC to the G terminal on the TDR. (The combination
of 24VAC on terminals Y and G on the TDR will close
the high speed contacts of the TDR)
Continuous Fan
3. R-O jumper on the TDR sends 24VAC to the O terminal

on the EVC. This signals the EVC that the unit is in cooling mode. The EVC will control the EEV to maintain the
correct superheat.
IMPORTANT: If the indoor air exceeds 60% relative

humidity or simply feels uncomfortably humid, it is recommended that the indoor fan only be used in the AUTO
mode.
4. Normally closed contacts on the EVC will pass 24VAC

to the YO terminal providing power to the outdoor unit
control circuit
1. R-G contacts close on comfort control sending 24VAC to the

G terminal on the fan TDR
5. The blower motor will now run on high speed
2. Low speed contacts close in the TDR and send 24VAC on

terminal labeled LOW.
Electric Heating
3. Blower motor will now run on low speed. Speed is field

selectable.
1. R-W contacts close on the comfort control sending 24VAC

to the W terminal on the TDR. 24VAC is also sent to
EHC to energize the heat relay.
Heat Pump OD (cooling)
2. R-G contacts close on the comfort control sending 24VAC

to the G terminal on the TDR. (The combination of
24VAC on terminals W and G on the TDR will close the
high speed contacts of the TDR)
1. R-Y contacts close on the comfort control sending 24VAC to

Y terminal on TDR and the YI (Y In) terminal on the EVC.
of 24VAC on terminals Y and G on the TDR will close the
high speed contacts of the TDR)
3. WJ contacts on the TDR close providing an interlock

circuit to allow the electric heat relays to operate.
The comfort control must be setup to control R-G contacts
with a call for electric heat. This closes the interlock
circuit and allows the heat relay circuit to be energized.
3. R-O contacts on the comfort control close sending 24VAC to

the O terminal on the EVC. This signals the EVC that the
unit is in cooling mode. The EVC will control the EEV to
maintain the correct superheat.
Optional Condensate Switch
4. Normally closed contacts on the EVC will pass 24VAC to

the YO terminal providing power to the outdoor unit control
circuit
1. An optional OEM condensate switch can be installed

within the unit. This switch is only available through the
National Distribution Center or Global Parts.
5. The blower motor will now run on high speed. Speed is field
selectable.
2. Switch contacts are normally open and close when water

level rises. The closed switch will interrupt current flow to
the YO terminal and de-energize the OD unit.
Heat Pump OD (heating)

1. R-Y contacts close on the comfort control sending 24VAC to
Y terminal on TDR and the YI (Y In) terminal on the EVC
3. Switch is only operational during cooling mode. Condensate overflow is not operational during heating or defrost
modes.

of 24VAC on terminals Y and G on the TDR will close the
high speed contacts of the TDR) The blower motor will now
run on high speed.
Standard aftermarket condensate switches cannot be used

within the unit but can be installed exterior of the unit.
Switch should be wired in series with YO wiring to the
OD unit.
GAM5A0A30M21-SF-1C
Freeze Protection
1. The EVC control has the ability to sense when the coil is
beginning to ice. When this event occurs, the contacts to
the YO circuit will open and de-energize the OD unit.
2. The indoor blower motor will continue to run to aid in defrosting the coil. After the coil has sufficiently defrosted,
the YO contacts will close and cooling operation will begin
again.
Fan Off Delay

1. The TDR has a dip switch that can enable a 90 second
fan off delay anytime a fan call is made from the comfort
control. The factory default is ON. To disable the delay, turn
power off to the unit, turn the dip switch to the off position
and turn power back on to the unit.

to match your application, either R-410A or R-22.
using the Refrigerant Switch located on the Expansion Valve Control board (EVC) in the Control
Pocket.
Factory default is R-410A.
Note: A power cycle is needed for the EVC to

recognize the change.

Safety
Use of warnings and notes
There are two types of safety instructions throughout this manual:
Notes draw attention to a particular condition or fact, or give information on a
subject.
Warnings caution you about conditions which can result in serious injury or death
and/or damage to the equipment. They also tell you how to avoid the danger. The
warning symbols are used as follows:
Electricity warning warns of hazards
from electricity which can cause
physical injury and/or damage to the
equipment.
WARNING! The ACH550 adjustable speed
AC drive should ONLY be installed by a
qualified electrician.
WARNING! Even when the motor is
stopped, dangerous voltage is present at the
power circuit terminals U1, V1, W1 (L1, L2,
L3) and U2, V2, W2 (T1, T2 T3) and,
depending on the frame size, UDC+ and
UDC-, or BRK+ and BRK-.
WARNING! Dangerous voltage is present
when input power is connected. After
disconnecting the supply, wait at least 5
minutes (to let the intermediate circuit
capacitors discharge) before removing the
cover.
WARNING! Even when power is switched
off from the input terminals of the ACH550,
there may be dangerous voltage (from
external sources) on the terminals of the
relay outputs.
WARNING! When the control terminals of
two or more drives are connected in parallel,
the auxiliary voltage for these control
connections must be taken from a single
source which can either be one of the drives
or an external supply.
WARNING! Disconnect the internal EMC
filter when installing the drive on an IT
system (an ungrounded power system or a
Safety
high-resistance-grounded [over 30 ohm]

power system).
WARNING! Do not attempt to install or
remove EM1, EM3, F1 or F2 screws while
power is applied to the drives input
terminals.
General warning warns about
conditions, other than those caused
by electricity, which can result in
physical injury and/or damage to the
equipment.
WARNING! Do not control the motor with
the disconnecting device (disconnecting
means); instead, use the control panel keys
or commands via the I/O board of the drive.
The maximum allowed number of charging
cycles of the DC capacitors (i.e. power-ups
by applying power) is five in ten minutes.
WARNING! Never attempt to repair a
malfunctioning ACH550; contact the factory
or your local Authorized Service Center for
repair or replacement.
WARNING! The ACH550 will start up
automatically after an input voltage
interruption if the external run command is
on.
WARNING! The heat sink may reach a high
temperature.
Note: For more technical information, contact
the factory or your local ABB representative.

Disconnecting the internal EMC filter

On certain types of systems, you must disconnect the internal EMC filter, otherwise
the system will be connected to ground potential through the EMC filter capacitors,
which might cause danger, or damage the drive.
Note: When the internal EMC filter is disconnected, the drive is not EMC compatible.
The following table shows the installation rules for the EMC filter screws in order to
connect or disconnect the filter, depending on the system type and the frame size.
For more information on the different system types, see Floating networks on page
12 and Unsymmetrically grounded networks on page 11.
The locations of screws EM1 and EM3 are shown in the diagram on page 8. The
locations of screws F1 and F2 are shown in the diagram on page 9.

Ground connections
For personnel safety, proper operation and to reduce electromagnetic emission/pickup, the drive and the motor must be grounded at the installation site.
Conductors must be adequately sized as required by safety regulations.
Power cable shields must be connected to the drive PE terminal in order to meet
safety regulations.
Power cable shields are suitable for use as equipment grounding conductors only
when the shield conductors are adequately sized as required by safety
regulations.
In multiple drive installations, do not connect drive terminals in series.
Unsymmetrically grounded networks
WARNING! Do not attempt to install or remove EM1 or EM3 screws while power is
applied to the drives input terminals.
Unsymmetrically grounded networks are defined in the following table. In such
networks, the internal connection provided by the EM3 screw (on frame sizes
R1R4 only) must be disconnected by removing EM3. If the grounding
configuration of the network is unknown, remove EM3.
Note: ACH550-UH drives are shipped with the screw removed (but included in the
conduit box).

symmetrically grounded, EM3 may be installed. For
reference, the diagram at right illustrates a symmetrically
grounded network.

Floating networks
WARNING! Do not attempt to install or remove EM1, EM3, F1 or F2 screws while
power is applied to the drives input terminals.
For floating networks (also known as IT, ungrounded, or impedance/resistance
grounded networks):
Disconnect the ground connection to the internal RFI filters:
Frame sizes R1R4: Remove the EM1 screw (unit is shipped with EM3
removed, see Connection diagrams on page 8).
Frame sizes R5R6: Remove both the F1 and F2 screws (see page 9).
Where EMC requirements exist, check for excessive emission propagated to
neighboring low voltage networks. In some cases, the natural suppression in
transformers and cables is sufficient. If in doubt, use a supply transformer with
static screening between the primary and secondary windings.
Do NOT install an external RFI/EMC filter. Using an RFI filter grounds the input
power through the filter capacitors, which could be dangerous and could damage
the unit.
Checking motor and motor cable insulation
WARNING! Check the motor and motor cable insulation before connecting the drive
to input power. For this test, make sure that motor cables are NOT connected to the
drive.
1. Complete motor cable connections to the motor, but NOT to the drive output
terminals (U2, V2, W2).
2. At the drive end of the motor cable, measure the insulation
resistance between each motor cable phase and Protective
Earth (PE): Apply a voltage of 1 kV DC and verify that
resistance is greater than 1 Mohm.

as described below. Spin Motor is useful, for example, to operate ventilation
fans prior to commissioning.
Note: When using Spin Motor, the motor speed is limited to the range 1/32/3 of
maximum speed. Also, no interlocks are activated. Finally, once the drive is
commissioned, the welcome screen and this option no longer appear.
Motor data
The motor data on the ratings plate may differ from the defaults in the ACH550. The
drive provides more precise control and better thermal protection if you enter the
rating plate data.
1. Gather the following from the motor ratings plate:
Voltage
Nominal motor current
Nominal frequency
Nominal speed
Nominal power
2. Edit parameters 99059909 to the correct values.
Assistant Control Panel: The Start-Up Assistant walks you through this data entry.
Basic Control Panel: Refer to ACH550 Users Manual, for parameter editing
instructions.
Fault and alarm adjustments
The ACH550 can detect a wide variety of potential system problems. For example,
initial system operation may generate faults or alarms that indicate set-up problems.
1. Faults and alarms are reported on the control panel with a number. Note the number
reported.
2. Review the description provided for the reported fault/alarm:
Use the fault and alarm listings on pages 24 and 29 respectively, or

Heatsink
The heatsink fins accumulate dust from the cooling air. Since a dusty heatsink is less
efficient at cooling the drive, overtemperature faults become more likely. In a
normal environment (not dusty, not clean) check the heatsink annually, in a dusty
environment check more often.
Clean the heatsink as follows (when necessary):
1. Remove power from drive.
2. Remove the cooling fan (see section Drive module fan replacement on page 33).
3. Blow clean compressed air (not humid) from bottom to top and simultaneously use a
vacuum cleaner at the air outlet to trap the dust.
Note: If there is a risk of the dust entering adjoining equipment, perform the cleaning
in another room.
4. Replace the cooling fan.
5. Restore power.

Drive module fan replacement

The drive module fan cools the heatsink. Fan failure can be predicted by the
increasing noise from fan bearings and the gradual rise in the heatsink temperature
in spite of heatsink cleaning. If the drive is operated in a critical part of a process, fan
replacement is recommended once these symptoms start appearing. Replacement
fans are available from ABB. Do not use other than ABB specified spare parts.
To monitor the running time of the cooling fan, see Group 29: MAINTENANCE TRIG
instructions.

Capacitors
The drive intermediate circuit employs several electrolytic capacitors. Their life span
is from 35,00090,000 hours depending on drive loading and ambient temperature.
Capacitor life can be prolonged by lowering the ambient temperature.
It is not possible to predict a capacitor failure. Capacitor failure is usually followed by
a input power fuse failure or a fault trip. Contact ABB if capacitor failure is suspected.
Replacements for frame size R5, R6 and R8 are available from ABB. Do not use
other than ABB specified spare parts.
Control panel
Cleaning
Use a soft damp cloth to clean the control panel. Avoid harsh cleaners which could
scratch the display window.
Battery
A battery is only used in Assistant control panels that have the clock function
available and enabled. The battery keeps the clock operating in memory during
power interruptions.
The expected life for the battery is greater than ten years. To remove the battery, use
a coin to rotate the battery holder on the back of the control panel. Replace the
battery with type CR2032.
Note: The battery is NOT required for any control panel or drive function, except the
clock.

Smoke Control (Override1) is a fixed input. Closing Digital Input 6 will place the E-Clipse Bypass in
Smoke Control mode which may reassign the function of the other Digital Inputs. Refer to the
Smoke Control (Override1) documentation.
53
2. Check installation bypass

Control panel settings and checks
Apply power to the E-Clipse Bypass unit. The ACH550 Control Panel should show
the operating status of the drive. If the E-Clipse Bypass Control Panel displays a
PHASE SEQ (Phase Sequence) fault, remove power, wait at least 5 minutes and
then swap any two input phase wires. If the motor is a standard 208 V, 60 Hz motor
connected to a 208 V drive or a 460 V, 60 Hz motor connected to a 480 V drive, the
default parameter settings should be suitable for the initial tests described below. If
the motors rating is not 208 V or 460 V, 60 Hz, the MOTOR NOM VOLT and
MOTOR NOM FREQ parameters will need to be properly set before proceeding.
Refer to the ACH550-UH Users Manual and set the parameters as required.
Note: The settings for ALL external serial communication between the ACH550 with
E-Clipse Bypass and any Building Automation System are configured using the
E-Clipse Bypass operator panel. DO NOT attempt to configure the external serial
communication connection using the ACH550 operator panel!
The settings for internal communication between the ACH550 and the E-Clipse
Bypass are configured at the factory and require no adjustment.
Drive Link recovery procedure
If the ACH550 Drive communication settings are unintentionally changed during
setup a Drive Link Fault, Drive Link Error or Drive Setup alarm may be
displayed. Should this occur, accomplish the following steps in order.
Using the ACH550 Drive Keypad
1. Set Parameter 9802 to STD MODBUS
2. Set Parameter 9902 to E-CLIPSE
3. Cycle Power
Following the above steps, in order, should restore proper communications between
the ACH550 Drive and the E-Clipse Bypass. Should the E-Clipse Keypad continue to
display a Drive Link Fault, Drive Link Error or Drive Setup alarm, check the
following parameter settings to ensure they have been recovered. If necessary,
individually set the correct parameter settings as indicated below and cycle power.
The only ACH550 Drive macro that provides the proper configuration settings by
default is the E-Clipse Bypass macro. If any other ACH550 Drive macro is used, that
macro should be selected after completing the initial tests. When using any other
macro the following ACH550 Drive parameter values must be set and power cycled
or the E-Clipse Bypass will not function properly:
Parameter 9802 must be set to STD MODBUS
Parameter 1001 must be set to Comm
54

Parameter 5303 must be set to 76.8 kb/s
Parameter 5304 must be set to 8 EVEN 1
Parameter 5305 must be set to DCU PROFILE
Parameter 5310 must be set to 103
Power must be cycled
Refer to the ACH550-UH Users Manual for additional information.
Note: Run motor from drive before attempting bypass operation.
System check: motor connected to ACH550 with E-Clipse Bypass
After performing the control panel checks and setting the ACH550 Drive Start-up
Data parameters, check the operation of the ACH550 Drive with E-Clipse Bypass
with the motor connected as follows:
1. Disconnect and lock out power to the E-Clipse Bypass unit, wait at least five minutes
before disconnecting power.
2. Connect the motor to the output terminals.
CAUTION: If the Bypass Override (Override 2) input contact is closed, the motor will
start across the line as soon as power is applied.
If the Safety Interlock and Run Enable input contacts are closed and the Smoke
Control (Override 1) input contact is closed, the motor will start across the line as
soon as power is applied.
If the Start/Stop, Safety Interlock and Run Enable input contacts are closed and the
system is in the Bypass mode and in either Hand or Auto, the motor will start across
the line as soon as power is applied.
If the Start/Stop, Safety Interlock and Run Enable input contacts are closed and the
system is in the Drive mode with the drive in either Hand or Auto mode, the motor
will start on the drive as soon as power is applied.
In order to prevent the motor from starting, the system should be in the Drive mode
and the drive should be OFF when the power is disconnected at the end of the
previous series of control panel settings and checks.
In order to prevent the motor from running without disconnecting the motor, open the
Run Enable and Safety Interlock contacts on bypass control board terminals X2:2,
X2:3 and X2:4 before applying power. Set the bypass to Drive mode and the drive to
OFF.
55
3. Apply power to the E-Clipse Bypass unit. The ACH550 Control Panel display should
be illuminated. On the bypass control panel, both the display and Enabled LED
should be illuminated. If the Enabled LED is not illuminated solid green, check to see
that closed contacts or jumpers connect terminal X2:3 to X2:4 and X2:2 to X2:7 on
the bypass control board.
4. The Drive Selected LED should be illuminated. If not, press the Drive Select key to
switch to Drive mode. Leave the system in the Drive mode when proceeding to the
next step.
5. Press the Hand key on the ACH550 Control Panel. Press and hold the UP key until
the motor just starts rotating.
Note: If the ACH550 Control Panel displays an OVERCURRENT or EARTH FAULT,
disconnect and lock out power to the E-Clipse Bypass unit. Wait at least 5 minutes.
Disconnect the motor leads from the E-Clipse Bypass unit and Megger each motor
lead to ground to determine if the motor is good. Check the power leads from the
Drive / Bypass to the motor for damaged or improper wiring. If the ACH550 Control
Panel displays any other drive faults, correct the fault condition before proceeding to
the next step.
CAUTION: Check motor rotation direction as soon as the motor begins to move. If
motor does not rotate in the correct direction, shut down the drive, disconnect and
lock out power to the drive and wait five minutes. Swap any two motor output wires
(T1, T2, and T3). Incorrect motor rotation direction may cause equipment damage.
6. Increase the speed to 60 Hz or the highest safe operating speed.
7. Press the OFF key on the drive control panel. The motor should stop.
If the drive does not operate according to these steps, refer to the ACH550-UH
Users Manual.
If the drive operates according to these steps, your ACH550 with E-Clipse Bypass is
ready to use with preset or modified macro settings.
Note: The settings for ALL external serial communication between the ACH550 with
E-Clipse Bypass and any Building Automation System are configured using the
E-Clipse Bypass operator panel. DO NOT attempt to configure the external serial
communication connection using the ACH550 operator panel!
The settings for internal communication between the ACH550 and the E-Clipse
Bypass are configured at the factory and require no adjustment.
56
Note: Both the ACH550 Drive and the E-Clipse Bypass include preset application
macros. The only ACH550 Drive macro that provides the proper configuration
settings by default is the E-Clipse HVAC Default macro (9902 = 15). If any other
ACH550 drive macro or any modified setting of the E-Clipse HVAC Default macro is
used the following ACH550 Drive parameter values must be set and power cycled or
the E-Clipse Bypass will not function properly:
Parameter 9802 must be set to STD MODBUS
Parameter 5303 must be set to 76.8 kb/s
Parameter 5304 must be set to 8 EVEN 1
Parameter 5305 must be set to DCU PROFILE
Power must be cycled
Refer to the ACH550-UH Users Manual for programming instructions.
Note: Run motor from drive before attempting bypass operation.
System check: motor disconnected from the ACH550 with E-Clipse Bypass
If you are familiar with the E-Clipse Bypass operation, you may skip the following
section. Otherwise, after performing the system checks and setting the ACH550
Drive Start-up Data parameters, become familiar with the operation of the ACH550
Drive with E-Clipse Bypass without the motor connected as follows:
1. Disconnect and lock out power to the E-Clipse Bypass unit, wait at least five minutes
after disconnecting power.
2. Disconnect the motor from the E-Clipse Bypass unit.
3. Apply power to the E-Clipse Bypass unit by turning on the branch circuit disconnect
device and the bypass disconnect switch or circuit breaker.
4. The ACH550 Control Panel display should be illuminated. On the E-Clipse Bypass
control panel, both the display and Enabled LED should be illuminated. If the
Enabled LED is not illuminated solid green, check to see that closed contacts or
jumpers connect terminal X2:3 to X2:4 and X2:2 to X2:7 on the bypass control
board.
57
5. On the E-Clipse Bypass control panel, either the Drive Selected or Bypass Selected
LED should be illuminated. Pressing the Drive Select or Bypass Select key should
switch the bypass back and forth between the Drive mode and the Bypass mode as
indicated by the LEDs above each button. Check that the bypass control panel
switches the system between modes. Leave the system in the Bypass mode when
proceeding to the next step.
6. Check to see that pressing the:
Auto key on the bypass control panel causes the bottom line on the E-Clipse
Bypass display to indicate Bypass in Auto
Hand key on the bypass control panel generates a Motor Phase Fault.
Under normal conditions (motor connected) pressing the Hand key on the bypass
control panel causes the bottom line on the E-Clipse Bypass display to indicate
Hand #A Run
OFF key on the bypass control panel causes the bottom line on the E-Clipse
Bypass display to indicate Off Stop
7. For Steps 8 through 14, ACH550 Drive Parameter 9904 must be set to Scalar:
Freq. After successful completion of Step 13, Parameter 9904 may be set to
Vector: Speed if very specific application requirements make it necessary to use
this type of motor control. Operation using the Vector: Speed setting is
unnecessary for control of almost all fan and pump applications. Refer to the
ACH550-UH Users Manual for details on setting parameters.
8. Press the Drive Select key on the E-Clipse Bypass control panel. The Drive Select
LED should be illuminated.
9. Check to see that pressing the:
Auto key on the bypass control panel causes the E-Clipse Bypass display to
indicate Bypass in Auto
Hand key on the bypass control panel causes no change to the E-Clipse Bypass
display
OFF key on the bypass control panel causes the E-Clipse Bypass display to
indicate Bypass in Off
10. Press the HAND key on the drive control panel. Note that the top line of the control
panel display indicates HAND and run as a clockwise rotating arrow. The Drive
Run LED on the E-Clipse Bypass control panel should be illuminated.
11. Press the UP arrow on the drive control panel. Note that the speed reference
indication in the top line of the drive control panel display increases from 0.0% SP.
12. In the middle line of the drive control panel display, the output current indication
should indicate 0.0 A.
13. Press the DOWN arrow on the drive control panel until the speed and frequency
indications return to 0.0.
14. Press the OFF key on the drive control panel. Note that the bottom line of the drive
contol panel display indicates Off.
58
If the ACH550 Drive and E-Clipse Bypass operate according to these steps, and you
have familiarized yourself with their operation, disconnect and lock out power to
prepare for the next test.
WARNING! Wait at least five minutes after disconnecting power from the drive
before you attempt to service the drive. Bus capacitors in the intermediate DC circuit
must discharge before servicing the drive. Using a meter rated for 1000 VDC, check
for zero volts at:
Terminals BRK+ to GND and BRK- to GND (frame size R1/R2)
Terminals UC+ and UC- (frame size R3R8).
If the drive does not operate according to these steps, refer to the ACH550-UH
Users Manual.
3. Check jumpers and switches
The settings described in this section are factory set and, for most situations, do not
require adjustment. However, it is a good practice to review these settings to confirm
that they are appropriate for the configuration installed.
Jumper and switch locations
The figure below shows the locations of the SW1 DIP switch on the E-Clipse Bypass
control board. The function and setting of this switch is explained in the following
paragraph.

DIP switch settings

The DIP switch is used to configure the serial communications termination resistors.
To reduce noise on the serial communications network, terminate the EIA-485
network using 120 ohm resistors at both ends of the network. Use the DIP switches
to connect or disconnect the on-board termination resistors. Both switches must be
positioned in the ON or OFF position to correctly configure the termination resistors.
Note: When using embedded protocols, set SW1 in the OFF position.
Circuit breaker settings
On some ACH550 E-Clipse Bypasses, the circuit breaker has adjustable settings for
instantaneous current protection. The factory default settings are practical for most
applications. Refer to the ABB SACE Instruction Sheet (supplied with these units)
for additional information on the adjustment of these settings.

ACH550-PCR/PDR
Installation
This information is unique to ACH550 input disconnect configurations (PCR or PDR).
The ACH550 with Input Disconnect is an ACH550 AC adjustable frequency drive
packaged with an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker. Refer to the Installation
instructions on page 3, for all other information. Failure to observe the warnings
and instructions may cause a malfunction or personal hazard.
WARNING! When the ACH550 with Input Disconnect is connected to the line power,
the Motor Terminals T1, T2, and T3 are live even if the motor is not running. Do not
make any connections when the ACH550 with Input Disconnect is connected to the
line. Disconnect and lock out power to the drive before servicing the drive. Failure to
disconnect power may cause serious injury or death.
1. Install wiring
WARNING!
Metal shavings or debris in the enclosure can damage electrical equipment and
create a hazardous condition. Where parts, such as conduit plates require cutting
or drilling, first remove the part. If that is not practical, cover nearby electrical
components to protect them from all shavings or debris.
Do not connect or disconnect input or output power wiring, or control wires, when
power is applied.
Never connect line voltage to drive output Terminals T1, T2, and T3.
Do not make any voltage tolerance tests (Hi Pot or Megger) on any part of the
unit. Disconnect motor wires before taking any measurements in the motor or
motor wires.
Make sure that power factor correction capacitors are not connected between the
drive and the motor.

Introduction
Introduction
General Information
inspect all units for shipping damage. Report damage

immediately to the carrier and file a claim.
The system design and installation must follow accepted industry

practice as described in the ASHRAE Handbook, the National
Electric Code, and other applicable standards. Install this
equipment in accordance with regulations of authorities having
jurisdiction and all applicable codes.
2 Skyline air handler units are constructed of galvanized or
painted steel and are inspected thoroughly before leaving

the factory. Take care during installation to prevent
damage to units.
3 Take special care when handling the blower section. All
Installation and maintenance must be performed by qualified

personnel familiar with applicable codes and regulations and
experienced with this type of equipment. Sheet metal parts,
self-tapping screws, fins, clips, and such items inherently have
sharp edges; the installer should exercise caution.
CAUTION
Sharp edges and coil surfaces are a potential injury hazard.
Avoid contact with them.
fans are dynamically balanced before leaving the factory.

Rough handling can cause misalignment or a damaged
bearings or shaft. Carefully inspect fans and shaft before
unit installation to verify this has not happened.
Note: Screws, bolts, etc., for assembling sections are supplied
in a bag attached to each section. All necessary
gasketing is applied in the factory for section-to-section
mounting, unless the unit has a curb ready base. Units
require caulk sealant between sections.
Unit Storage
ATTENTION
Les bords tranchants et les surfaces des bobines sont un
risque de blessure. Ne les touchez pas.
Receiving and Handling

1 Carefully check items against the bills of lading to verify
all crates and cartons have been received. Carefully
Store unit on a level surface. If air handling units are stored for
any period of time, periodically rotate the fan wheel to prevent
permanent distortion of drive components. In addition, grease
may settle in the lower part of the bearing, which can lead to
oxidation on the upper portion of the bearing surface. Keep the
fan bearings lubricated.

Mechanical Installation
Service Clearances
Rigging
In addition to providing adequate space around the unit for

piping coils and drains, access to at least one side of the unit is
always required to allow for regular service and routine
maintenance, which includes filter replacement, drain pan
inspection and cleaning, fan bearing lubrication, and belt
adjustment. Provide sufficient spaceat least equal to the
length of the coilon the side of the unit for coil removal. See
Figure 1 for servicing space requirements.
Skyline air handlers ship as separate sections, completely

assembled, or in modules of assembled sections. The unit must
be rigged as it ships from the factory. Do not rig units after
assembly. Units are provided with a factory-installed base rail
and can be lifted using the 2" diameter lifting holes located in
the corners of each shipping section. To prevent damage to the
unit cabinetry, use spreader bars. Position spreader bars to
prevent cables from rubbing the frame or panels. Before
hoisting into position, test lift for stability and balance. Avoid
twisting or uneven lifting of unit.
Maintain at least 54" of clearance in front of electrical power

devices. Electrical power devices that are mounted on the side
of the unit typically are up to 12" deep (Figure 2).

Curb Mounting and Unit Leveling

Do not place a Skyline unit over an open curb unless it is
equipped with a curb-ready base. Installation instructions for
mounting units on a roof curb are provided in IM 770. For a
copy, contact your local McQuay representative or visit
www.mcquay.com. Make provisions under the unit to divert
any moisture from entering the building below.
For units without roof curb mounting, place the equipment on
a flat and level surface. Where surface irregularities exist, shim
the base of the unit at one or more points along the length of
the rails to prevent distortion or sagging of the support rails.
Uneven or distorted sections cause misfit or binding of the
doors and panels and improper draining of drain pans
(Figure 4).

Figure 4: Leveling the Unit
2 Pull sections together to fasten. Use straps and a ratchet
to help pull the sections together securely. Apply sealant

to any gaps that may admit moisture.
3 Fasten base rails together first using the 3/8"-16 5"
bolts located in the splice kit provided with the unit

(Figure 7).
a To fasten two shipping sections together, four bolts
are needed (two on each side of the unit). The bolts

are run from one base rail into the other and fastened
with a nut. Complete each section bottom and top
before attaching additional sections.

Assembling Sections
If the unit is shipped in more than one shipping section, rig
each section into position separately. Shipping sections are
provided with a connection splice joint attached on the leaving
air side of the shipping section that seals against the frame
channel on the entering-air side of the adjoining. The splice
joint is insulated and provides an air-tight seal between two
sections once they are assembled together. Align the splice
joint to seat into the mating gasket to provide an air seal. If the
splice joint was bent during shipping or rigging, restore it to its
original position (Figure 8).
b If desired, shipping sections for non curb-ready units
can be fastened together internally. To fasten

internally, run field-provided #10 sheet metal screws
or drill screws (4" long, maximum) through the
interior frame channel of one unit into the splice joint
of the neighboring section.
c Handle units with curb-ready bases and vestibules so
the lifting bracket can be removed after the unit is

placed on the curbing.
Note: Remove the lifting bracket that projects inward over
the curbing. Save the self tapping screws. When the
adjacent section is placed in position, use self
tapping screw to secure the bases together.

1 Caulk all assembly joints of the unitBefore joining the
sections, apply at least 1/4 inch diameter bead of sealant

to the mating faces of the cabinet. Use the splice joint as
a guide for applying the sealant (Figure 5).

Injected-Foam Insulated Panels
Skyline air handlers now are furnished with double-wall,
injected-foam insulated panels. Foam panels are stronger,
more rigid, and lighter than panels with fiberglass insulation.
The insulation R-value is improved to 13. However, foam
insulation can burn when exposed to flame or other ignition
sources and release toxic fumes. Take care in cutting and
sealing all field-cut openings in these panels.
Figure 12: Cutting/Sealing Injected-Foam Insulated Panels

Panel Cutting Procedure

1 Determine the number and location of holes required for
electrical conduit, piping, and control wiring as follows:
a Check that adequate space is available inside the unit
Prop 65Substances in fuel or from fuel combustion can cause personal injury or death,
and are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
for conduit or pipe routing.

b Do not locate holes in a panel that provides access to
key maintenance components such as filters and fan

assemblies.
c Do not locate where the conduit or piping blocks
airflow or obstructs hinged access doors.

2 Once a proper location is determined, drill a small pilot
hole completely through the panel. Then use a sharp hole

saw or a saber saw and cut from each side of the panel.
3 Seal the double-wall panel on each side with an
industrial/commercial grade silicone sealant or duct seal

compound. It is extremely important to seal each panel
hole or penetration securely so it is airtight, watertight,
and so that there is no exposed insulation.
WARNING
Flame and smoke can cause equipment
damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Before operating unit, seal all piping and
wiring holes on both inner and outer panels
with an industrial grade silicone sealant or
duct seal compound. Do not use a cutting
torch or expose panel to fire. Panel
damage can occur.

Field Mounting Junction Boxes and

Other Components
For field mounting 4" 4" or smaller junction boxes to the
standard panel exterior, use a minimum quantity of four, 3/16"
diameter pop rivets. Do not use self-tapping drill screws.
They will not tighten nor secure properly and panel
damage can occur.
If larger, heavier components require mounting on unit panels,
use through-bolts with flat washers through both outer and
inner panels. To maintain panel integrity, seal both ends with
an industrial/commercial grade silicone sealant or duct seal
compound.
The unit frame channel is another excellent location for
securing heavier components; self-tapping screws are not
acceptable. Ensure that the location permits the full operation
of all access doors and panels and does not interfere with other
vital components.
Duct Connections
Use flexible connectors on the outlet and inlet duct
connections of all units. Do not position down flow fans over
air ducts that are routed down into the building. Use a
discharge plenum when bottom connections are necessary
(Figure 13).

If the unit has a top mixing box or economizer damper or a top
duct connection, field fabricate and install flashing to divert
moisture from the connection. The flashing must lap over the
standing seams of the top panels. The flashing also must lap
over the side edges of the unit (Figure 14).

Mounting Actuators
The installing contractor is responsible for the mounting of all
field-installed actuators. No provisions are made for the
location of these actuators due to the number of options and
arrangements available and the variety of specific applications.
Typically, actuators are mounted inside the cabinet. Provide
proper support for the actuator to avoid excessive stress in the
cabinet, linkage, or damper shafts.
Dampers and Hoods

Side dampers may be provided in the mixing box and
economizer sections of units. When dampers are provided, a
removable panel is located above the weather hood to provide
access to the damper drive shaft. Other access may be
available depending on the specific construction of the unit
(Figure 15).
Figure 15: Filler Panel Over the Weather Hood
Note: Damper blades are at full flow when open to 70 degrees.

Do not open blades further than 70 degrees.
Fresh air and return air dampers can be linked together and
driven from the same actuator if the dampers are the same size.
If the dampers are different sizes, they must be driven by
separate actuators and controlled appropriately. Exhaust
dampers are always driven by a separate actuator.
A typical rotary electric actuator can handle up to 40 sq. ft. of
damper. For pneumatic actuators, allow 5 in-lb per square foot
of damper area.
Remove screws
and panel to access
damper control shaft.
Hood
CAUTION
Maximum damper rotation is 70. Maximum shaft torque is 205
inches/pound. Greater rotation or torque can cause equipment
damage.
ATTENTION
La rotation maximale des volets est de 70. Le couple (torque)
maximum de larbre est de 205po/lb. Une plus grande rotation
(ou torque) peut endommager lquipement.
When units are ordered with exhaust hoods and intake hoods
adjacent to each other, install a field-supplied barrier to
prevent recirculation of exhaust air into the intake openings.
(Figure 16).
McQuay IM 777
Face and Bypass Section Mounting
Piping and Coils
Internal and external face and bypass sections are mounted

together using the instructions for horizontal components and
do not require additional instruction. Skyline air handlers are
provided with a bypass duct that is integral to the unit
construction and requires no field assembly.
When designing and installing piping:
Face and bypass dampers may or may not be linked together.

When dampers are placed before a single bank of coils, they
always are linked together and require a single actuator. When
dampers bypass a stacked or staggered coil, the dampers are
not linked and require multiple actuators.
Follow applicable piping design, sizing, and installation

information in ASHRAE handbooks.
Observe all local codes and industry standards.
Do not apply undue stress at the connection to coil headers;
always use a backup pipe wrench.
Support pipework independently of the coils.
Water Cooling Coils
Face and bypass dampers have a torque requirement of

10 in-lbs per square foot of damper face area.
Note: Use glycol in water coils for outdoor air handlers. Power
failures and other mechanical issues can expose coils to
freezing temperatures.
Piping Vestibules
Water supply, water return, drain, and vent connections

extend through the end panel of the coil section. All
connections are labeled on the end panel.
For units that include a piping vestibule, cut the openings for
routing the field piping as required in the field. Carefully seal
passages cut through the panels to prevent air leakage. A
single metal thickness pan is provided in the bottom of the
curb-mounted vestibule. The pan can be removed if necessary.
If holes are cut into the pan for a piping passage, seal the holes
to prevent moisture leakage (Figure 17).
Figure 17: Seal Holes for PipingCurb Mounted Units
Water supply and water return connections are typically

male NPT iron pipe.
When installing couplings, do not apply undue stress to the
connection extending through unit panel. Use a backup
pipe wrench to avoid breaking the weld between coil
connection and header.
Follow recommendations of the control manufacturer
regarding types, sizing, and installation of controls.
Direct Expansion Coils

The coil distributor and suction connection extend through
the end panel of the coil section.
Check nozzle in distributor for proper tonnage.
When a (field supplied) thermostatic expansion valve is
located outside the unit and connected directly to the
distributor (except on units with piping vestibules). Do not
apply heat to the body of the expansion valve.
Seal holes
cut for piping
For units with standard base rails, the vestibule is open to the
coil section; therefore, seal all holes to prevent air leakage.
Figure 18: Seal Holes for PipingStandard Base Rail Units
The thermostatic expansion valve must be the external

equalizer tube type. Connect the 1/4-inch diameter external
equalizer tube provided on the coil to the connection on the
expansion valve.
Use care when piping the system, making sure all joints are
tight and all lines are dry and free of foreign material. For
typical refrigerant piping, see condensing unit product
manual.

connection extending through unit panel. Use a backup
pipe wrench to avoid breaking the weld between coil
Support piping independently of coils and provide adequate
piping flexibility. Stresses resulting from expansion of
closely coupled piping can cause serious damage.
Do not reduce pipe size at the coil return connection. Carry
return connection size through the dirt pocket, making the
reduction at the branch leading to the trap.
Coils in parallela single trap can be used, but an individual

trap for each coil is preferred.
Do not attempt to lift condensate when using modulating or
on/off control.
With coils arranged for series airflow, use a separate control
on each bank or coil in the direction of airflow.
Valves
Do not use modulating steam valves on high pressure
systems.
Properly size modulating valves. Do not undersize.
Avoid freezing conditions (entering air temperatures below
35F).
Coils
Pitch all steam coils in units toward the return connection.
McQuay strongly recommends 5JA, 8JA, 5RA and 8RA

coils.
Do not drip supply mains through the coil.
Supply 5 psi steam to coils at all times.
Do not attempt to lift condensate when using modulating or

on/off control.
Do not use modulating valves. Provide control by face and

bypass dampers.
Install vacuum breakers on all applications to prevent

retaining condensate in the coil. Generally, connect the
vacuum breaker between the coil inlet and the return main.
The vacuum breaker should be open to the atmosphere and
the trap design should allow venting of large quantities of
air.
Consider using two or three coils in series with two position

steam control valves on the coil or coils that handle 35F or
colder air. Use a modulating valve on the downstream coil to
provide the desired degree of control.
Traps
Note: Do not place steam traps outdoors.
Size traps in accordance with the manufacturers

recommendations. Make sure the required pressure
differential is always available. Do not undersize.
Thoroughly mix fresh air and return air before it enters the
coil. Also, to obtain true air mixture temperatures, properly
locate temperature control elements.
As additional protection against freeze-up, install the trap
sufficiently below the coil to provide an adequate
hydrostatic head to remove condensate during an
interruption in the steam pressure. Estimate three feet for
each 1 psi of trap differential required.
Use float and thermostatic or bucket traps for low pressure

steam. On high pressure steam, use bucket traps. Use
thermostatic traps only for air venting.
On startup, admit steam to coil ten minutes before admitting

outdoor air.
Use bucket traps for on/off control only.
Close fresh air dampers if steam supply pressure falls below

the minimum specified.
Locate traps at least 12 inches below the coil return

connection.

Drain Pan Traps

Run drain lines and traps full size from the drain pan
connection. Install drain pan trap to allow condensate to drain
freely. On both blow-through and draw-through units, the trap
depth and the distance between the trap outlet and the drain
pan outlet must be twice the static pressure in the drain pan
section under normal operation so the trap remains sealed
(Figure 20).

Table 2: Motor Behind Fan Spring Mount Adjustments
On units with internally isolated fan and motor assemblies, the

assemblies are secured for shipment. with a tie-down at each
point of isolation.
Before Operating the Unit:
Remove the shipping brackets and tie-down bolts (see
Figure 23 and Figure 24) and discard. The shipping brackets
located on the opposite drive side of the unit are difficult to
access from the drive side of the unit. Either remove them
before the unit is assembled or remove the panel on the
opposite drive side to gain access.
The spring isolators under the four corners of the fan and
motor assembly are factory adjusted while the fan was not
running. See Table 1 and Table 2 below. With the unit
operating at normal cfm and static pressure, all the isolators
should be at the same height opening. If adjustments are
required, loosen the 1/2" cap screw on top of the isolator and
turn the adjusting bolt to lower or raise the fan and motor base.

Service and Maintenance

Periodic Maintenance
1 Check all moving parts for wear every six months.
2 Check bearing collar, sheave, and wheel hub setscrews,
Compatibility of grease is critical. Relubricatable bearings are

supplied with grease fittings or zerks for ease of lubrication
with hand or automatic grease guns. Always wipe the fitting
and grease nozzle clean.
sheave capscrews, and bearing hold-down bolts for

tightness every six months.
3 Annually check and snug all electrical connections.
Inspect for signs of water damage such as corrosion and

repair if necessary. Check ground conductor and
connection integrity. Service if needed.
Ball Bearing Lubrication

CAUTION
Bearing overheating potential. Can damage the equipment.
Do not overlubricate bearings. Use only a high grade mineral
grease with a 200F safe operating temperature. See below for
specific recommended lubricants.
Motor Bearings
Supply and return fansSupply and return fan motors
should have grease added after every 2000 hours of operation.
Using the following procedure, relubricate the bearings while
the motor is warm, but not running. Use one of the greases
shown in Table 15.

1 Remove and clean upper and lower grease plugs.
CAUTION
For safety, stop rotating equipment. Add one half of the
recommended amount shown in Figure 18. Start bearing,
and run for a few minutes. Stop bearing and add the second
half of the recommended amount. A temperature rise,
sometimes 30F (1C), after relubrication is normal. Bearing
should operate at temperature less than 200F (94C) and
should not exceed 225F (107C) for intermittent operation.
For a relubrication schedule, see Table 16. For applications
that are not in the ranges of the table, contact McQuay.
CAUTION
The tables below state general lubrication
recommendations based on our experience and are
intended as suggested or starting points only. For best
results, specific applications should be monitored regularly
and lubrication intervals and amounts adjusted accordingly.

Figure 36: VP Type Sheave Adjustment
Upon completion of the air balance, replace the variable

pitched motor sheave with a properly sized, fixed sheave. A
matching fixed sheave provides longer belt and bearing life
and minimizes vibration. Initially, it is best to have a variable
pitched motor sheave for the purpose of air balancing. Once
the balance is achieved, fixed sheaves maintain balancing and
alignment more effectively. Replace the adjustable sheaves
with fixed sheaves.

belt is slipping. Do not apply belt dressing. This can

damage the belt and cause early failure.
Floor surfaces must be dry and free of oil or grease.
Tension Measurement Procedure

1 Measure the belt span. See Figure 40.

Front loaded filter options require that the filters be removed

and replaced from inside the unit.
To remove filters, rotate the wire clips. This releases both the
prefilter and the final filter. When installing clean filters, check
to verify the filters are fully seated in the frame (Figure 41).

Coils
1 The coil must be clean to obtain maximum performance.
Check once a year under normal operating conditions

and, if dirty, brush or vacuum clean. Use a chemical coil
cleaner on multiple row coils. Read and follow the
chemical cleaners instructions as some cleaners may
contain harsh chemicals. Take care not to damage fins
while cleaning.
2 Drain pans in any air conditioning unit may have some
moisture. Algae, etc., can grow due to airborne spores

and bacteria. Periodic cleaning is necessary to prevent
this buildup from plugging the drain and causing the
drain pan to overflow. Also, keep the drain pans clean to
prevent the spread of disease. Cleaning should be
performed by qualified personnel.
3 Dirt and lint can clog the condensate drain, especially
overflow.

Winterizing Water Coils
Coils can freeze due to air stratification or failure of outdoor
air dampers and/or preheat controls. Do not depend on routine
draining of water cooling coils for winter shutdown as
insurance against freeze-up. Severe coil damage can result.
Drain all coils as thoroughly as possible and then treat in the
following manner.
Fill each coil independently with an antifreeze solution
using a small circulating pump and again thoroughly drain.
If fan replacement is required, the entire fan assembly can be

pulled out the side of the cabinet. The fan assembly includes
the fan housing, the bearing support, and the fan base.
Removing the Fan Assembly
1 Remove the side panels and any intermediate supports
(follow instructions for side panel removal).
2 Once the panels and any intermediate supports are
removed, disconnect the neoprene bulk head seal that is

attached to the fan discharge.
Check freezing point of antifreeze before proceeding to next

coil. Due to a small amount of water always remaining in
each coil, there is a diluting effect. The small amount of
antifreeze solution remaining in the coil must always be
concentrated enough to prevent freeze-up.
3 Remove the four discharge angles that hold the neoprene
Note: Carefully read instructions for mixing antifreeze solution

used. Some products have a higher freezing point in
their natural state when mixed with water. McQuay
International is not responsible for the freezing of
coils.

Single Duct VAV Terminals

Receiving Inspection
Duct Connections
After unpacking the terminal, check it for

shipping damage. If any shipping
damage is found, report it immediately
to the delivering carrier. Store units in a
clean, dry location prior to installation.
Slip each inlet duct over the inlet collar

of the terminal. Fasten and seal the
connection by the method prescribed by
the job specification.
Caution: Do not use the flow sensor,

connecting tubing, or damper shaft
linkage as a handle to lift or move
a s s e m b l y. D a m a g e t o t h e f l o w
sensor or controls may result.
Supporting the Assembly

Many basic single duct terminals are
light enough to be supported by the duct
work itself. Where heavier accessory
modules, such as DDC controls, coils,
attenuators, or multiple outlets are
included, the terminal should be
supported directly. Straps screwed
directly into the side of the terminal,
threaded rod through t h e o p t i o n a l
hanger brackets (see Figure 1), or the
method prescribed for the rectangular
duct on the job specifications may be
used.
Important: If equipped with pneumatic
controls, the terminal must be mounted
right side up. It must be level within
+ or - 10 degrees of horizontal, both
parallel to the air flow and at the right
angle of air flow. The control side of the
terminal is labeled with an arrow
indicating UP. The first letter of the
model number (P) indicates pneumatic
controls. Most electronic units (A-analog
controls and D-digital controls) can be
installed in any orientation. Check with
the local TITUS representative for
verification.
The diameter of the inlet duct "D" in

inches must be equal to the listed size
of the terminal; e.g. a duct that actually
measures 8 inches must be fitted to a
size 8 terminal. The inlet collar of the
terminal is made 1/8 inch smaller than
listed size in order to fit inside the duct
(see Figure 1).
Note: Do not insert duct work inside
the inlet collar of the assembly. Inlet
duct should be installed in accordance
with SMACNA guidelines.
The outlet end of the terminal is

designed for use with slip and drive duct
connections. A rectangular duct the size
of the terminal outlet should be
attached.
If single-point electronic velocity sensor
is used, 3 to 5 inlet duct diameters of
straight duct should be provided at the
terminal inlet; for specific guidelines,
consult the manufacturers installation
material. Sensor(s) may be attached to
the inside of control enclosu r e f o r
protection during shipping. Sensor must
be inserted in inlet duct of terminal
before operation. Remove any
protective plastic devices from tip of
sensor before installation.

Unpacking
Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity
of each item have been received. If any items are
missing, report shortages to your local representative to
arrange for obtaining missing parts. Sometimes it is not
possible that all items for the unit be shipped together
due to availability of transportation and truck space.
Confirmation of shipment(s) must be limited to only items
on the bill of lading.
Handling
G Direct Drive
Lift unit on to the roof utilizing hooks under the lip of the
shroud. Evenly space the hooks around the shroud using
a minimum of four lifting straps. Use a spreader bar to
ensure the straps do not come in contact with the unit
(see figure 1).
Fig. 3
1 in.
(44 mm)
Curb Cap
When G/GB unit is on the roof, move fan to desired

location using lifting points and fasten securely through
mounting holes in base. Shims may be necessary
depending upon roofing material thickness.
The motor amperage and voltage ratings must be
checked for compatibility to supply voltage prior to
final electrical connection. For G/GB installations, the
electrical supply should be routed through the conduit
chase located between the curb cap and the bottom of
the motor compartment. Wiring must conform to local
and national codes.
Storage
Spreader Bar
Fans are protected against damage during shipment. If

the unit cannot be installed and operated immediately,
precautions need to be taken to prevent deterioration of
the unit during storage. The user assumes responsibility
of the fan and accessories while in storage. The
manufacturer will not be responsible for damage during
storage. These suggestions are provided solely as a
convenience to the user.
Lifting
Strap
Indoor
Fig. 1
Hook
GB Belt Drive
When lifting the unit on to the roof, use either the four
lifting points on the drive frame or the two lifting points
on the bearing plate if present (see figure 2 for lifting
points). Access to the drive frame is accomplished by
removing the screws pointed out in figure 3. The cover
can then be removed and placed on a flat surface in an
area protected from strong winds.

The ideal environment for the storage of fans and

accessories is indoors, above grade, in a low humidity
atmosphere which is sealed to prevent the entry of
blowing dust, rain or snow. Temperatures should be
evenly maintained between 30 to 110F (-1 to43C)
(wide temperature swings may cause condensation
and sweating of metal parts). All accessories must be
stored indoors in a clean, dry atmosphere.
Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice or snow
and wipe dry before moving to indoor storage. To avoid
sweating of metal parts allow cold parts to reach room
temperature. To dry parts and packages use a portable
electric heater to get rid of any moisture buildup. Leave
coverings loose to permit air circulation and to allow for
periodic inspection.
The unit should be stored at least 3 inches (89 mm)

off the floor on wooden blocks covered with moisture
proof paper or polyethylene sheathing. Aisles between
parts and along all walls should be provided to permit air
circulation and space for inspection.
Outdoor
Fans designed for outdoor applications may be stored
outdoors, if absolutely necessary. Roads or aisles for
portable cranes and hauling equipment are needed.
The fan should be placed on a level surface to prevent
water from leaking into the fan. The fan should be
elevated on an adequate number of wooden blocks so
that it is above water and snow levels and has enough
blocking to prevent it from settling into soft ground.
Locate parts far enough apart to permit air circulation,
sunlight and space for periodic inspection. To minimize
water accumulation, place all fan parts on blocking
supports so that rain water will run off.
Do not cover parts with plastic film or tarps as these
cause condensation of moisture from the air passing
through heating and cooling cycles.
Fan wheels should be blocked to prevent spinning
caused by strong winds.
Inspection and Maintenance During

Storage
While in storage, inspect fans once per month. Keep a
record of inspection and maintenance performed.
If moisture or dirt accumulations are found on parts,
the source should be located and eliminated. At each
inspection, rotate the wheel by hand ten to fifteen
revolutions to distribute lubricant on motor. If paint
deterioration begins, consideration should be given to
touch-up or repainting. Fans with special coatings may
require special techniques for touch-up or repair.
Machined parts coated with rust preventive should be
restored to good condition promptly if signs of rust
occur. Immediately remove the original rust preventive
coating with petroleum solvent and clean with lint-free
cloths. Polish any remaining rust from surface with
crocus cloth or fine emery paper and oil. Do not destroy
the continuity of the surfaces. Thoroughly wipe clean
with Tectyl 506 (Ashland Inc.) or the equivalent. For hard
to reach internal surfaces or for occasional use, consider
using Tectyl 511M Rust Preventive, WD-40 or the
equivalent.
Typical Roof Mounting Installation
1. On the roof surface, cut an appropriate sized hole

and follow manufacturers instructions on curb
installation. Caulk and flash the curb to ensure a
water tight seal.
2. If unit is equipped with a backdraft damper, it should
be installednow.
3. Remove motor cover. Access to the motor
compartment is accomplished by removing the
screws as shown in figure 3.
4. Only on GB Belt Drive fans. On the drive frame use
the lifting lugs to lift and place the unit on top of roof
curb. (Refer to figure 2 on page 2).
5. Secure fan to curb using a minimum of eight lug
screws, metal screws or the suitable fasteners.
Shims may be required depending upon curb
installation and roofing material.
6. Verify power line wiring is de-energized before
connecting fan motor to power source.
7. Connect power supply wiring to the motor as
indicated on the motor nameplate or terminal box
cover. Check the power source for compatiblity with
the requirements of your equipment.
8. Check fan wheel for free rotation, re-center if
necessary.
9. Check all fasteners for tightness.
10. Mount and wire safety disconnect switch under
motor cover. Wire control switches at ground level,
refer to figure 4.

Pre-Starting Checks
1. Check all fasteners and set screws for tightness. The
wheel should rotate freely and be aligned as shown
in figure 7 on page 5.
2. Wheel position is preset and the unit is test run at the
factory. Movement may occur during shipment and
realignment may be necessary.
3. Only G unit - Centering height alignment can be
accomplished by loosening the set screws in the
wheel and moving the wheel to the desired position.
4. Only GB unit - Centering can be accomplished by
loosening the bolts holding the drive frame to the
shock mounts and repositioning the drive frame.
5. Only GB unit - Wheel and inlet cone overlap can be
adjusted by loosening the set screws in the wheel
and moving the wheel to the desired position.

6. Only GB unit - Fan RPM should be checked and

verified with a tachometer.
7. Check wheel rotation (viewing from the shaft side)
by momentarily energizing the unit. On a G unit the
rotation should correspond to the rotation decal on
the unit, see figure 8. On a GB unit rotation should
be clockwise as shown in figure 8 and correspond
to rotation decal on the unit. If wheel rotation is
incorrect reverse two of the wiring leads or check
motor wiring for single phase.

WARNING
Correct direction of wheel rotation is critical. Reversed

rotation will result in poor air performance, motor
overloading and possible burnout.
WARNING
The fan has been checked for mechanical noises at the
factory prior to shipment. If mechanical noise should
develop, suggested corrective actions are offered in
the Troubleshooting section.
IMPORTANT
Over tightening will cause excessive bearing wear and
noise. Too little tension will cause slippage at startup
and uneven wear.
Model GB
Pre-Starting Belt Tension Checks
8. Always loosen tension enough to install belts without
stretching, see figure 9.
9. For units with two groove pulleys, adjust so the
tension is equal in both belts.
*Identical fasteners on
opposing side must also be
loosened.
12a. Sizes 071-161: Belts should be tensioned just

enough to prevent slippage at full load.
Note: Belts should have a slight bow on the slack
side while running at full load (see figure 12a).
12b. Sizes 180-540: Belt tension should be adjusted to
allow 164 in. (0.397 mm) of deflection per inch of belt
span. For example, a 15 in. (381 mm) belt span should
have 1564 in. (0.234 mm) (or about 14in. (6mm)) of
deflection with moderate thumb pressure at mid-point
between pulleys (see figure12b).

13. The adjustable motor pulley is factory set for the

RPM specified. Speed can be increased by closing
or decreased by opening the adjustable motor pulley.
14. Any increase in speed represents a substantial

increase in the horsepower required by the unit.
15. Motor amperage should always be checked to avoid
serious damage to the motor when speed is varied.
Operation: G / GB
1. Before starting up or operating fan, check all
fasteners for tightness. In particular, check the
setscrews in wheel hub.
2. While in the OFF position or before connecting the
fan to power, turn the fan wheel by hand to be sure it
is not striking the venturi or any obstacle.
3. Start the fan and shut it off immediately to check
rotation of the wheel with directional arrow in the
motor compartment.
4. When the fan is started, observe the operation and
check for any unusual noises.
5. With the system in full operation and all ductwork
attached, measure current input to the motor and
compare with the nameplate rating to determine if
the motor is operating under safe load conditions.
6. Keep inlets and approaches to fan clean and free
from obstruction.
IMPORTANT
Adjust (tighten) belt tension after the first 24-48hours
of operation.
Inspection
Inspection of the fan should be conducted at the first
30minute and 24 hour intervals of satisfactory operation.
30 Minute Interval
Inspect bolts, setscrews and motor mounting bolts.
Adjust and tighten as necessary.
24 Hour Interval
Check all internal components. On GB unit only, inspect
belt alignment and tension. Adjust and tighten as
necessary.
Maintenance: G / GB
Installation and maintenance are to be performed only
by qualified personnel who are familiar with local codes
and regulations and who are experienced with this type
of equipment.
Motor maintenance is generally limited to cleaning and
lubrication (where applicable). Cleaning should be limited
to exterior surfaces only. Removing dust buildup on
motor housing ensures proper motor cooling.
WARNING
servicing. Failure to disconnect power source can
result in fire, shock or serious injury.
Greasing of motors is only intended when fittings are

provided. Many fractional horsepower motors are
permanently lubricated and should not be lubricated
after installation. Motors supplied with grease fittings
should be greased in accordance with manufacturers
recommendations. Where motor temperatures do not
exceed 104F (40C), the grease should be replaced after
2,000 hours of running time as a general rule.
Wheels require very little attention when moving clean
air. Occasionally, oil and dust may accumulate causing
imbalance. When this occurs the wheel and housing
should be cleaned to ensure smooth and safe operation.
All fasteners should be checked for tightness each time
maintenance checks are performed prior to restarting
unit.
A proper maintenance program will help these units
deliver years of dependable service.
CAUTION
Uneven cleaning of the wheel will produce an out of
balance condition that will cause vibration in the fan.
WARNING
This unit should be made non-functional when cleaning
the wheel or housing (fuses removed, disconnect
locked off).
Belt/Bearing Maintenance GB Unit

1. Belts tend to stretch after a period of time. They
should be checked periodically for wear and
tightness. When replacing belts, use the same type
as supplied with the unit.
2. Matched belts should always be used on units with
multi-groove pulleys.
3. For belt replacement, loosen the tensioning device
enough to allow removal of the belt by hand.
4. Once installed, adjust belts as shown in PreStarting
Checks.
5. Shaft bearings can be classified in two groups:
relubricating and non-relubricating. All
nonrelubricating bearings on standard model GB
fans are factory lubricated and require no further
lubrication under normal use (between -20 to 180F
(-29 to 82C) in a relatively clean environment).
6. On GB belt driven fans, the standard cast pillow
block bearings are factory lubricated and are
provided with external grease fittings. Annual
lubrication is recommended, or more frequently if
needed (see Table2 on page 7). Do not over-grease.
Use only one or two shots of lubricant with a hand
gun. Maximum hand gun rating is 40 psi. Rotate
bearings during lubrication where good safety
practice permits. Caution should be employed to
prevent over packing or contamination.
7. Grease fittings should be wiped clean. The unit
should be in operation while lubricating. Extreme
care should be used around moving parts.
8. Grease should be pumped in very slowly until a slight

bead forms around the seal. A high grade lithium
base grease should be used.
9. To ensure tightness, check pulley setscrews. Proper
keys must be in keyways.
10. Fan RPM should not be readjusted. Only use pulleys
of identical size and type when replacing pulleys.
11. During the first few months of operation check
bearing set screws periodically to ensure tightness.
12. If unit is to be left idle for an extended period,
remove belts and store in a cool, dry place to avoid
premature belt failure.
Recommended Relubrication Frequency in

Months
NOTE: If unusual environment conditions exist (extreme
temperature, moisture or contaminants) more frequent
lubrication is required.
A good quality lithium base grease, conforming to NLGI
Grade 2 consistency, such as those listed here may be
used.

1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as

well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the
National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where
applicable. Follow the Canadian Electric Code
(CEC) in Canada.
2. The rotation of the wheel is critical. It must be free
to rotate without striking or rubbing any stationary
objects.
4. Do not spin fan wheel faster than max cataloged
fan rpm. Adjustments to fan speed significantly
effects motor load. If the fan RPM is changed, the
motor current should be checked to make sure it is
not exceeding the motor nameplate amps.
6. Verify that the power source is compatible with the
equipment.
7. Never open access doors to a duct while the fan is
running.
Receiving
Upon receiving the product check to make sure all
items are accounted for by referencing the bill of
lading to ensure all items were received. Inspect
each crate for shipping damage before accepting
delivery. Notify the carrier if any damage is noticed.
The carrier will make notification on the delivery
receipt acknowledging any damage to the product.
All damage should be noted on all the copies of the
bill of lading which is countersigned by the delivering
carrier. A Carrier Inspection Report should be filled out
by the carrier upon arrival and the Traffic Department.
If damaged upon arrival, file claim with carrier. Any
physical damage to the unit after acceptance is not
the responsibility of Greenheck Fan Corporation.
Unpacking
Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity
of each item have been received. If any items are
missing report shortages to your local representative
to arrange for obtaining missing parts. Sometimes it
is not possible that all items for the unit be shipped
together due to availability of transportation and truck
space. Confirmation of shipment(s) must be limited to
only items on the bill of lading.
Handling
Fans are to be rigged and moved by the lifting
brackets provided or by the skid when a forklift is
used. Location of brackets varies by model and size.
Handle in such a manner as to keep from scratching
or chipping the coating. Damaged finish may reduce
the ability of the fan to resist corrosion.
Fans should never be lifted by the shaft, fan housing,
motor, belt guard, windband or accessories.
Storage
Fans are protected against damage during shipment.
If the unit cannot be installed and operated
immediately, precautions need to be taken to prevent
deterioration of the unit during storage. The user
assumes responsibility of the fan and accessories
while in storage. The manufacturer will not be
responsible for damage during storage. The following
suggestions are provided solely as a convenience to
the user.
INDOOR
The ideal environment for the storage of fans and
accessories is indoors, above grade, in a low humidity
atmosphere which is sealed to prevent the entry of
blowing dust, rain, or snow. Temperatures should
be evenly maintained between 30F (-1C) and
110F (43C) (wide temperature swings may cause
condensation and sweating of metal parts). All
accessories must be stored indoors in a clean, dry
atmosphere.
Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice or snow

and wipe dry before moving to indoor storage. To
avoid sweating of metal parts allow cold parts to
reach room temperature. To dry parts and packages
use a portable electric heater to get rid of any
moisture build up. Leave coverings loose to permit air
circulation and to allow for periodic inspection.
The unit should be stored at least 3 inches (89 mm)
off the floor on wooden blocks covered with moisture
proof paper or polyethylene sheathing. Aisles between
parts and along all walls should be provided to permit
air circulation and space for inspection.
OUTDOOR
Roads or aisles for portable cranes and hauling
equipment are needed.
The fan should be placed on a level surface to prevent
water from leaking into the fan. The fan should be
elevated on an adequate number of wooden blocks so
that it is above water and snow levels and has enough
blocking to prevent it from settling into soft ground.
Locate parts far enough apart to permit air circulation,
sunlight, and space for periodic inspection. To
minimize water accumulation, place all fan parts on
blocking supports so that rain water will run off.
The use of a tarp to cover the unit will aid in keeping it
clean and dry. Avoid using a black plastic tarp as it will
promote condensation.
Fan wheels should be blocked to prevent spinning
caused by strong winds.
Inspection and Maintenance during

Storage
While in storage, inspect fans once per month. Keep a
record of inspection and maintenance performed.
If moisture or dirt accumulations are found on parts,
the source should be located and eliminated. At each
inspection, rotate the wheel by hand ten to fifteen
revolutions to distribute lubricant on motor. If paint
deterioration begins, consideration should be given
to touch-up or repainting. Fans with special coatings
may require special techniques for touch-up or repair.
Machined parts coated with rust preventive should
be restored to good condition promptly if signs of
rust occur. Immediately remove the original rust
preventive coating with petroleum solvent and clean
with lint-free cloths. Polish any remaining rust from
surface with crocus cloth or fine emery paper and oil.
Do not destroy the continuity of the surfaces. Wipe
clean thoroughly with Tectyl 506 (Ashland Inc.) or
the equivalent. For hard to reach internal surfaces or
for occasional use, consider using Tectyl 511M Rust
Preventive or WD-40 or the equivalent.
REMOVING FROM STORAGE
QEI/QEID Radial Gap
As fans are removed from storage to be installed

in their final location, they should be protected and
maintained in a similar fashion, until the fan equipment
goes into operation.
Adjust inlet cone position such that the radial gap

between the wheel cone and inlet cone is evenly
distributed around the wheel.
Prior to fully assembling and installing the fan and

system components, inspect the fan assembly to
make sure it is in working order.
If necessary, adjust wheel position by loosening the

wheel hub from the fan shaft so that a straight edge
held tight to the wheel cone just touches the inlet
cone. Refer to drawing below.
1. Check all fasteners, set screws, wheel, bearings,

drive, motor base and accessories for tightness.
QEI/QEID Alignment
Straight Edge
2. Rotate the fan wheel by hand and assure no parts

are rubbing. Access to the wheel is obtained
through an access panel located on the side of the
fan housing.

NOTE: One of the most frequently encountered

problems with centrifugal fans is motors which are
wired to run in the wrong direction. This is especially
true with 3-phase installations where the motor will
run in either direction, depending on how it has
been wired. To reverse rotation of a 3-phase motor,
interchange any two of the three electrical leads.
Single phase motors can be reversed by changing
internal connections as described on the motor label
or wiring diagram.
11. If the fan has inlet vanes, they should be partially

closed to reduce power requirements.
12. Fans with multi-speed motors should be checked
on low speed during initial start-up.
13. Ensure proper wheel location for radial gap,
overlap and alignment (see Radial Gap, Overlap
& Alignment section on page 3).
14. Grease may be forced out of the bearing seals
during initial start-up. This is a normal selfpurging feature of the bearing.
15. Check for unusual noise, vibration or overheating
of bearings. Refer to the Troubleshooting section
of this manual if a problem develops.
Vibration
Excessive vibration is the most frequent problem
experienced during initial start-up. Left unchecked,
excessive vibration can cause a multitude of
problems, including structural and/or component
failure.
The most common sources of vibration are:
Wheel unbalance
Drive pulley misalignment
Incorrect belt tension
Bearing misalignment
Mechanical looseness
Faulty belts
Drive component unbalance
Poor inlet/outlet conditions
Foundation stiffness
Many of these conditions can be discovered by careful
observation. Refer to the Troubleshooting section
of this manual for corrective actions. If observation
cannot locate the source of vibration, a qualified
technician using vibration analysis equipment should
be consulted. If the problem is wheel unbalance,
inplace balancing can be done providing there is
access to the fan wheel. Any correction weights
added to the wheel should be welded to either the
wheel back (single-plane balance) or to the wheel
back and wheel cone (two-plane balance).
Maintenance
WARNING
Disconnect and secure to the Off position all
electrical power to the fan prior to inspection
or servicing. Failure to comply with this safety
precaution could result in serious injury or death.
Once the unit has been put into operation, a routine
maintenance schedule should be set up to accomplish
the following:
1. Lubrication of bearings and motor.
2. Variable inlet vanes should be checked for freedom
of operation and wear.
3. Wheel, housing, bolts and set screws on the entire
fan should be checked for tightness.
4. Any dirt accumulation on the wheel or in the

housing should be removed to prevent unbalance
and possible damage.
5. Isolation bases should be checked for freedom
of movement and the bolts for tightness. Springs
should be checked for breaks and fatigue. Rubber
isolators should be checked for deterioration.
6. Inspect fan impeller and housing looking for
fatigue, corrosion or wear.
WARNING
Changing the belts or drives can significantly
increase the amp draw of the motor. If changes
are made to the drives or belts, the amps must be
checked to assure no overamping.
V-Belt Drives
V-belt drives must be checked on a regular basis
for wear, tension, alignment and dirt accumulation.
Premature or frequent belt failures can be caused by
improper belt tension (either too loose or too tight)
or misaligned sheaves. Abnormally high belt tension
or drive misalignment will cause excessive bearing
loads and may result in failure of the fan and/or motor
bearings. Conversely, loose belts will cause squealing
on start-up, excessive belt flutter, slippage and
overheated sheaves. Either excessively loose or tight
belts may cause fan vibration.
When replacing V-belts on multiple groove drives,
all belts should be changed to provide uniform drive
loading. Do not pry belts on or off the sheave. Loosen
belt tension until belts can be removed by simply
lifting the belts off the sheaves. After replacing belts,
ensure that slack in each belt is on the same side of
the drive. Belt dressing should never be used.
Do not install new belts on worn sheaves. If the
sheaves have grooves worn in them, they must be
replaced before new belts are installed.
The proper tension for operating a V-belt drive is
the lowest tension at which the belts will not slip at
peak load conditions. Belts are adjusted by raising or
lowering the motor pivot plate. For initial tensioning,
the proper belt deflection half-way between sheave
centers is 1/64 of the belt span. For example, if the
belt span is 64 inches, the belt deflection should be
1 inch using moderate thumb pressure at mid-point
of the drive. Check belt tension two times during
the first 24 hours of operation and periodically
thereafter.

Fan Bearing Lubrication
The V-belt drive components, when supplied by

Greenheck Fan Corporation, have been carefully
selected for this units specific operating condition.
Changing V-belt drive components could result
in unsafe operating conditions which may cause
personal injury or failure of fan components.
The bearings for Greenheck fans are carefully

selected to match the maximum load and operating
conditions of the specific class, arrangement and
fan size. The instructions provided in this manual
and those provided by the bearing manufacturer will
minimize any bearing problems. Bearings are the
most critical moving part of the fan. Therefore, special
care is required when mounting them on the unit and
maintaining them.
1. Remove the protective coating from the end of the

fan shaft using mineral spirits or another similar
solvent. Check to ensure that the shaft is free of
nicks and burrs.
2. Slide sheaves on shafts. Do not drive sheaves on
as this may result in bearing damage.
3. Align fan and motor sheaves
with a straight-edge or string
and tighten.
4. Place belts over sheaves. Do
not pry or force belts, as this
could result in damage to the
cords in the belts.
5. Adjust the tension until the
Aligning sheaves
belts appear snug. Run the
with a straight edge
unit for a few minutes (refer to
unit start-up section) and allow the belts to set
properly.
6. With the fan off, adjust the belt tension by moving
the motor pivot plate. (Belts are adjusted by
raising or lowering the motor pivot plate). When in
operation, the tight side of the belts should be in
a straight line from sheave to sheave with a slight
bow on the slack side.
FAN
MOTOR
FAN
Motors
Motor maintenance is generally limited to cleaning
and lubrication. Cleaning should be limited to exterior
surfaces only. Removing dust and grease build-up on
the motor housing assists proper motor cooling.
CAUTION
Do not allow water or solvents to enter the motor or
bearings. Under no circumstances should motors or
bearings be sprayed with steam, water or solvents.
Greasing of motor bearings is only required when
fittings are provided. Many fractional motors are
permanently lubricated and require no further
lubrication. Motors supplied with grease fittings
should be greased in accordance with the
manufacturers recommendations. When motor
temperature does not exceed 104F (40C), the grease
should be replaced after 2000 hours of running time.
MOTOR
Refer to the following chart and the manufacturers

instructions for grease types and intervals for various
operating conditions. Never mix greases made with
different bases. This will cause a breakdown of the
grease and possible failure of the bearing.

For continuous (24 hour) operation, decrease greasing
interval by 50%.
If possible, relubricate with grease while in operation
without endangering personnel.
For ball bearings (operating) relubricate until clean
grease is seen purging at the seals. Be careful not to
unseat the seal by over lubricating.
For ball bearings (idle) add 1-2 shots of grease up to 2
in. bore sizes, and 4-5 shots of grease above 2in. bore
sizes with hand grease gun.
For roller bearings, relubricate with 4 shots of grease up
to 2 in. bore size, 8 shots for 2-5 in. bore size, and 16
shots above 5 in. bore size with hand grease gun.
Adjust lubrication frequency based on condition of
purged grease.
A high quality lithium base grease conforming to NLGI
Grade 2 consistency, such as those listed below, should
be used.

WARNING
Lubricate bearings prior to periods of extended
shutdowns or storage and rotate shaft monthly to
aid in preventing corrosion. If the fan is stored more
than three months, the bearings should be purged
with new grease prior to start-up.

Please read and save these instructions for future reference. Read carefully before attempting to assemble,
install, operate or maintain the product described. Protect yourself and others by observing all safety
information. Failure to comply with instructions could result in personal injury and/or property damage!
Vari-Green Motor
The Vari-Green Motor is an electrically
commutated (EC) motor that uses 115V
single phase input power and internally
converts it to a DC power supply which
provides an 80% turndown capability
and increased energy savings.

Only qualified personnel should install this fan. Personnel
should have a clear understanding of these instructions
and should be aware of general safety precautions.
Improper installation can result in electric shock, possible
injury due to coming in contact with moving parts, as well
as other potential hazards. Other considerations may
be required if high winds or seismic activity are present.
If more information is needed, contact a licensed
professional engineer before moving forward.
DANGER
installing or servicing. Failure to disconnect power
source can result in fire, shock or serious injury.
CAUTION
servicing.
CAUTION
Precaution should be taken in explosive
atmospheres.
1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as

the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the National
Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where applicable.
Follow the Canadian Electric Code (CEC) in Canada.
2. The rotation of the wheel is critical. It must be
free to rotate without striking or rubbing any
stationary objects.
4. Do not spin fan wheel faster than max cataloged fan
RPM. Adjustments to fan speed significantly effects
motor load. If the fan RPM is changed, the motor
current should be checked to make sure it is not
exceeding the motor nameplate amps.
6. Verify that the power source is compatible with
the equipment.
7. Never open access doors to a duct while the fan
is running.
Vari-Green Motor
Installation
1. Install motor in accordance with local codes. Verify
fasteners holding motor to fan are properly secured
and wheel is properly secured on motor shaft.
3. Energize motor and check for proper rotation.

Rotation should be CCW when viewing the
shaft end.
2. Wire motor based on mode of operation.

(See attached wiring diagrams.)
4. Adjust motor speed to verify the proper motor

speed controller functionality.
Operation
The Vari-Green motor offers 3 different control options.
Follow the correct wiring diagram based on the control
option desired.
Motor mounted potentiometer

A dial is mounted on the case of the motor
to adjust the speed. Use a screwdriver to
turn the potentiometer to adjust the speed
of the motor.
NOTES
2 VDC IS 15% AND 10 VDC IS 100%
OF NAMEPLATE RPM.
0-1.9 VDC IS OFF.
0-10VDC Control Signal

This option is selected when the user wants to remotely
control the speed of the motor. A third-party controller
is installed by others that will give the motor a 0-10VDC
signal along with a 24VAC source to power the controls
in the motor. The VA requirement for the 24VAC source
is 0.70. The motor will operate within the 2-10VDC
range, while 0-1.9VDC the motor will be off.

Vari-Green Motor
Vari-Green Remote Mounted

Speed Control
Installation Overview:
In addition to supplying the fan with power, a
3-wire control cable will need to be run from the fan
motor compartment to the location of the remote
speed controller.
The speed controller will mount to a standard
single-gang 2x4 junction box. If other mounting
methods are required, consult the factory.
The maximum distance from the fan to the
speed controller is 100 feet. If a greater distance is
required, signal loss may occur and cause the fan to
operate erratically.
Note: There is a small switch on the rear of the speed
controller (Circled on back view). This adjusts the
output range of the speed controller.
The two settings are: 0-10V and 2-10V. The fan will
operate on either one of these settings.
The Vari-Green motor operates on a 2-10V active

signal. This means that from 0-1.9V, the motor is
off. If you require the speed controller to turn the
motor off, select the 0-10V setting.
> Note that even though the motor may not be

operating, high voltage power will still be present
at the motor. Make sure to disconnect power to
the fan before servicing.
Wiring
Verify that any power connected to the fan is
disconnected before making the control connections.
When the remote speed control option is ordered,
a 4x4 junction box containing a transformer will be
included in the motor compartment of the fan (on the
housing of an inline fan).
This wiring diagram is located on the junction box
cover for convenience.
Using 3-wire control cable, make the following
connections:

Troubleshooting
If the motor RPM does not vary in accordance with
the dial input, perform a voltage check to ensure the
motor is receiving the correct control input.
At the speed controller:

(varies with dial position)
If these voltage checks are as desired, verify all of the

connections inside the fan and make certain that they
are secure.
If the motor still does not operate as desired, please
consult the factory.
Maintenance
The Vari-Green motor utilizes brushless technology
with sealed bearings so no maintenance is required
other than keeping any accumulated debris from
collecting on the motor.
Features
Soft Start
All motors are a soft start motor. They will reliably
start at any speed setting.
Overload Protection
If the motor ever becomes overloaded, it will slow
itself down to the point where it is no longer being
overloaded. This means that the motor will never
burn itself out due to running into the service
factor as is a concern with many AC motors.
Locked Rotor Protection
If the motor ever sees a locked rotor condition, the
motor will automatically shut itself down. It will then
try to restart itself up to 3 times. If after the 3rd time
it still will not rotate, the motor will not attempt to
restart until after power is cycled.
Thermal Protection
The motor has a one-shot fuse thermal protector.
This is meant to protect the motor from a severe
temperature rise. With the motor softwares ability
to limit the motor if overloaded, the fuse is used as
a last resort to prevent a fire.
Warranty
Greenheck warrants this equipment to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of
one year from the purchase date. Any units or parts which prove defective during the warranty period will
be replaced at our option when returned to our factory, transportation prepaid. Motors are warranted by the

Pre-Installation Guidelines
The basic intent of a proper installation is to secure the volume control damper into the opening in such a manner as to
prevent distortion and disruption of damper operation. The following items will aid in completing the damper installation in a
timely and effective manner.
1) Check the schedules for proper damper locations within the building. Visually inspect
the damper for damage.
2) Lift or handle damper using sleeve or frame. Do not lift damper using blades, linkage,
actuators, or jackshafting. When handling multiple sections assemblies, use sufficient
support to evenly lift at each section mullion (see drawing). Do not drag, step on, apply
excessive bending, twisting, or racking.
Spreader Bar
Attachments
3) Do not install screws in damper frame that will interfere with unexposed blade linkage
and prevent damper blades from opening and/or closing.
4) Damper must be installed into duct or opening square and free of twist or other
misalignment. Damper must not be squeezed or stretched into duct or opening. Out of
square, racked, twisted or misaligned installations can cause excessive leakage and/or
torque requirements to exceed damper/actuator design.
Multi section dampers
5) Damper and actuator must be kept clean, dry and protected from dirt, dust and other foreign materials prior to and after
installation. Examples of such foreign materials include but are not limited to:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
Mortar dust
Drywall dust
Firesafing materials
Wall texture
Paint overspray
6) Damper should be sufficiently covered as to prevent overspray if wall texturing or spray painting will be performed
within 5 feet (1.50m) of the damper. Excessive dirt or foreign material deposits on damper can cause excessive leakage
and/or torque requirements to exceed damper/actuator design.
7) ACCESS: Suitable access (actuators maintenance, etc.) must be provided for damper inspection and servicing. Where it
is not possible to achieve sufficient size access, it will be necessary to install a removable section of duct.
Electrical Guidelines
Electrical and/or pneumatic connections to damper actuators should be made in accordance with wiring and piping
diagrams developed in compliance with applicable codes, ordinances and regulations.
safety CAUTION !
Verify power requirements before wiring
actuator. Greenheck is not responsible for
any damage to, or failure of the unit caused

section is joined to the side of the multiple section where the jackshaft extends past the frame 4 inches.
3. D
uct opening or opening square should measure 1/4 inch (6mm) larger than damper dimension and should be straight
and level.
4. If no holes are present in frame, drill 1/4 inch (6mm) diameter holes at 6 inch (52mm) centers and fasten frames together
with 1/4 inch (6mm) #20 (.03mm) bolts and nuts.
5. U
se shims between damper frame and duct opening or opening space to prevent distortion of frame by fasteners
holding it in place. Brace at every horizontal mullion and vertically brace at every 8 feet (2.4m) of damper width for
strength. Dampers in high velocity (2000 fpm [610m per second]) may require more bracing. Note: Greenheck dampers
are specifically designed and engineered for structural integrity based on model and conditions. Attachment, framing,
mating flanges, and anchoring of damper assemblies into openings, ductwork, or walls is the responsibility of the
installer. Design calculations for these retaining and supporting members should be determined by field
engineers for that particular installation.
6. If
damper actuator is to be mounted out of the airstream, the extension pin should extend
approximately 6 inches (152mm) beyond the frame. On jackshafted units, the jackshaft should extend
through the jackshaft bearing assembly and approximately, 6 inches (152mm) beyond the frame.
7. Individual damper sections, as well as entire multiple section assemblies must be completely square and
free from racking, twisting, or bending. Measure diagonally from upper corners to opposite
lower corners of each section.

Installation (continued)
8. D
amper blades, axles, and linkage must operate without binding. Before system operation, cycle dampers after
installation to assure proper operation. On multiple section assemblies, all sections should open and close
simultaneously.
Damper Maintenance
Greenheck's dampers are designed to be trouble free and hassle free under normal operation. Dampers are to be installed
square and straight so as to prevent binding during operation. The following annual damper maintenance suggestions will
help to insure proper damper operation and increase the life expectancy of the damper.
Foreign Matter
Over the course of time, dirt and grime may collect on damper surfaces. The damper
surfaces should be cleaned to prevent hindrance to airflow.
Moving Parts
Make sure that parts such as linkage, bearings, blades, etc. that are intended to move
freely, can do so. Lubricating these components can prevent possible rusting and
unnecessary friction increase. Use only a moli-spray oil or similar graphite based oil as
regular lubricating oil will attract dirt.
Bearings. Synthetic, oil impregnated, and ball bearings (without grease fittings) do not
require lubrication. Ball bearings with grease fittings require only minimal grease.
Closure
Remove foreign materials that may be interfering with blade closure or effective sealing
of the blades with each other or with the frame.
Operation
While operating the damper through its full cycle, check to see that the blades open and
close properly. If there is a problem, check for loose linkage, especially at the actuator.
Tighten the linkage where required.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

MODELS: All FSD and SD Dampers
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure that a building's smoke-control system will perform as intended under fire and smoke
conditions. Regular maintenance should include periodic testing of all equipment associated with the smoke-control system such
as initiating devices, fans, dampers, controls, etc. Ruskin recommends each fire/smoke damper be cycled and tested every 6
months and in accordance with NFPA92A recommendations and local codes.
MAINTENANCE
Check actuator and tighten linkage if necessary.
Clean damper blades and other working parts if necessary.
Lubricate linkage, bearings and other moveable parts with a silicone lubricant. Do not use petroleum-based products as
they could cause excessive dust collection.
Operate (open and close) the damper via the actuator (see note).
Check the blades to make sure they completely close and re-open.
Consult Ruskin if problems are encountered.
TESTING FIRE/SMOKE DAMPERS

Use a moderate heat source and heat the thermal disc found "in the air-stream" on the fire/smoke damper. Caution: too much
heat may damage the thermal disc.
The disc will dimple and cause the flow of electricity, to the actuator, to stop. The damper blades will close.
Allow the disc to cool. Press the reset button on the outside of the damper. Flow of electricity to the actuator will resume and
the damper blades will open.
Note: If possible, the damper should be operated under normal airflow conditions.
MODELS: All (D)IBD and FD TYPE FIRE DAMPERS

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure that a building's life-safety system will perform as intended under fire and smoke conditions. Regular maintenance should include periodic testing of all equipment associated with the life-safety system such as fire
dampers. The interval of testing and maintenance varies widely depending on the duration of system operation, condition of fresh
air, amount of dust in return air, and other factors. NFPA 90A recommends testing of all fire dampers every four years as a minimum.
MAINTENANCE
(refer to notes)
Check closure springs. If defective, repair or replace.
Operate the damper by removing the fusible link and allowing the blades to drop or close.
(Caution: keep fingers and hands out of the blade package travel path.)
Check the damper for rust and/or corrosion.
Clean damper blades and lubricate the working parts. Do not use petroleum-based products as they could cause excessive dust collection.
Re-open the damper (move the blade package back to the top of damper) and replace the fusible link.
TESTING DAMPERS
(refer to notes)
Use a heat source and melt the fuse link or remove the fuse link and let the blade package drop. (Caution: keep fingers and
hands out of the blade package travel path.)
Check the blades to make sure they completely close and lock (if a lock is used).
Notes:
1.Due to their construction (including size) and/or accessibility, dynamic curtain type fire dampers may be very difficult and in
some cases impossible to test (close and re-open). If the damper is determined to be impossible to test, Ruskin recommends a
thorough examination to insure nothing exists which would prohibit the damper from closing. A thorough examination should
include checking the damper for squareness and the blade channel for obstructions.
2.Fire dampers may be easier to reopen from a specific side. Consult Ruskin for assistance.
3.If possible, fire dampers should be tested under normal airflow conditions.

TS150 FIRESTAT FOR REOPENABLE FIRE AND SMOKE DAMPERS

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLEMENT
APPLICATION
The TS150 is a UL Classified heat responsive device which is used
in conjunction with Ruskin fire/smoke dampers. The TS150 is an
optional device which can be ordered with electric actuators or
pneumatic actuators and EP (electro/pneumatic) switches. The
TS150 allows the dampers to be reopened after the initial closure
for dynamic smoke control. The TS150 must be installed at the
factory and cannot be added in the field. Replacement TS150s
may be field installed with the approval of the local authority.
SMOKE DETECTION/TEST/POWER
FAILURE OPERATION
If smoke is detected, or during testing, or if power failure occurs,
the damper will close and lock. When the smoke signal ceases (or
smoke detector resets) , the test is complete or power is restored
the SYSTEM will automatically REMOTE RESET the damper to
the open position. The damper automatically resets if nuisance
alarms occur and the SYSTEM is reset. The damper may be
closed at any time by placing the MCP1 (optional) or other control
switch (by others) in the CLOSED position.
FIRE OPERATION
When the switch of a control panel (MCP) is in the NORMAL position and temperatures in excess of 165F/74C (212F/100C
optional) are detected, the damper will close and lock and the
damper CLOSED indicator light on the control panel will light.
The damper remains closed until the override signal for smoke
management from a remote command station is present and the
duct temperature has not exceeded the high limit. The high limit
temperature sensor prevents the damper from reopening when
duct temperature is above the damper's UL555S degradation test
temperature of 250F/121C or 350F/177C. Upon cessation of
the fire condition, the damper can be reopened by pressing the
RESET button on the TS150 assembly. At no time will the damper
disengage from the actuator. The integral SP100 will positively
communicate to the fire commander via the control panel the position of the damper for smoke management purposes.
Refer to the appropriate damper installation instructions for details
on damper installation. All electrical wiring and connections to the
Fire-Stat must be in accordance with the standards of the authorities having jurisdiction.

PARTS LIST
The pump nameplate identifies the pump by discharge size, and the maximum
impeller diameter of the unit. The pump construction, flow, head, serial number and
manufacture date are also listed as identified in the example below.

The nameplate identifies the pump in the example as a Series 1510, size 5G in bronze
fitted (BF) construction. A 123/4" impeller is beeing provided to meet 990 GPM at 150 ft.
at 1750 RPM. The serial number specifically identifies the unit for future reference. DO
NOT REMOVE THE NAMEPLATE. It is important when ordering replacement parts to
furnish complete nameplate data.
The 1510 pump is furnished with both Standard Seal or Stuffing Box configuration. The Standard Seal pump has no seal designation after the Series number on
the nameplate. If the example pump was of Stuffing Box configuration, the nameplate would show it to be a 1510-S, 1510-PF or 1510-D pump. Parts for Stuffing
Box type pumps are covered under the CP-206D-PL parts list.
To insure the correct parts are selected, use the following procedure:
1. Determine from the nameplate the pump size, seal configuration, pump construction and impeller diameter.
2. Measure shaft sleeve diameter at the seal.
3. Refer to the index for the page number of the parts breakdown for the specific size
pump.
4. Find the proper column in the parts breakdown for the pump construction involved.
5. Select part numbers, using the numbered drawings on page 4 for identification.
Where shaft diameter affects parts selection, use the measurement secured in
Step 2.
6. Bearing frames vary with motor frame sizes. Use the motor frame number (found
on the motor nameplate) to select the proper bearing frame from the chart on
page 5.

DESCRIPTION
PUMP APPLICATION
The Series 1510 centrifugal pump is a frame mounted pump

which features high efficiency, rugged construction, foot
mounted volute with back pullout bearing frame, center drop
out coupler and regreasable bearings. These features make
installation, operation and service easy to perform.
The standard Series 1510 centrifugal pump's bronze fitted

construction make it ideal for service with following liquids:
unheated domestic and fresh water, boiler feed water, condensate, hydronic cooling or heating, pressure boosting, general
pumping and benign liquids.
For other applications contact your local B&G Representative.
OPERATION LIMITS
Unless special provisions have been made for your pump by
Bell & Gossett, the operational limits for Series 1510 Pumps

Volumetric Expansion
The heating of water and other fluids causes volumetric
expansion. The associated forces may cause failure of system components and release of high temperature fluids.
This will be prevented by installing properly sized and
located compression tanks and pressure relief valves.
PUMP LOCATION
Locate the pump so there is sufficient room for inspection,
maintenance and service. If the use of a hoist or tackle is
needed, allow ample head room.
FIGURE 4
WARNING: FALLING OBJECT HAZARD

Eyebolts or lifting lugs if provided are for lifting only
the components to which they are attached. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury
or death, or property damage.
If lifting of the entire pump is required, do so with slings placed
under the base rails as shown.
The best pump location for sound and vibration absorption
is on a concrete floor with subsoil underneath. If the pump
location is overhead, special precautions should be undertaken to reduce possible sound transmission, consult a sound
specialist.
If the pump is not on a closed system, it should be placed as
near as possible to the source of the liquid supply, and located
to permit installation with the fewest number of bends or
elbows in the suction pipe.
The installation must be evaluated to determine that the Net
Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHA) meets or exceeds
the Net Positive Suction Head Required (NPSHR), as stated by
the pump performance curve.
IMPORTANT
Do not install and operate Bell & Gossett Pumps, 3D Valves,
Suction Diffusers, etc., in closed systems unless the system is
constructed with properly sized safety devices and control
devices. Such devices include the use of properly sized and
located pressure relief valves, compression tanks, pressure
controls, temperature controls, and flow controls as appropriate. If the system does not include these devices, consult
the responsible engineer or architect before making pumps
operational.

FOUNDATION BOLT
PIPE SLEEVE
This pump is built to provide years of service if installed properly and attached to a suitable foundation. A base of concrete
weighing 21/2 times the weight of the pump is recommended.
(Check the shipping ticket for pump weight.)
If possible, tie the concrete pad in with the finished floor. Use
foundation bolts and larger pipe-sleeves to give room for final
bolt location. (See Figure 6A.)

LEVELING
Place the pump on its concrete foundation supporting it with
steel wedges or shims totaling 1" in thickness. These wedges
or shims should be put on both sides of each anchor-bolt to
provide a means of leveling the base. (See Figure 6B.)
CONCRETE FOUNDATION
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE PUMP-BASE BE SET

LEVEL TO AVOID ANY MECHANICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH
THE MOTOR OR PUMP. THIS PUMP WAS PROPERLY
ALIGNED (IF FURNISHED WITH A MOTOR) AT THE FACTORY.
HOWEVER, SINCE ALL PUMP BASES ARE FLEXIBLE THEY
MAY SPRING AND TWIST DURING SHIPMENT. DON'T PIPE
THE PUMP UNTIL IT IS REALIGNED. AFTER PIPING IS
COMPLETED AND AFTER THE PUMP IS GROUTED-IN AND
BOLTED-DOWN, ALIGN IT AGAIN. IT MAY BE NECESSARY
TO RE-ADJUST THE ALIGNMENT FROM TIME TO TIME
WHILE THE UNIT AND FOUNDATION ARE NEW.
GROUTING
After the pump has been leveled, securely bolted to the floor,
and properly aligned, a good grade of non-shrinking grout
should be poured inside the pump base. To hold wedges or
shims in place, allow the grout to flow around them. (See
Figure 6B).
ROTATION
Pump rotation is clockwise when viewed from back of the
motor. An arrow is also located on the pump to show the
direction of rotation.
COUPLER ALIGNMENT
All alignment should be done by moving or shimming the
motor only. Adjustments in one direction may alter alignment
in another. Therefore, check alignment in all directions after a
correction is made. Black rubber sleeves have different
horsepower load ratings then orange Hytrel sleeves, they
should not be interchanged.
1. To check angular misalignment, mount the dial indicator

base to one coupler half, or shaft, and position the dial indicator button on the front or rear face of the opposite coupler half. Set the dial to zero. Rotate both coupler halves
together, making sure the indicator button always indicates off the same spot. Misalignment values within 0.004"
TIR per inch of coupler radius are permissible.
2. To check parallel misalignment, mount the dial indicator
base to one coupler half, or shaft, and position the dial indicator button on the outside diameter of the opposite coupler half. Set the dial to zero. Rotate both coupler halves
together, making sure the indicator button always indicates off the same spot. Misalignment within 0.004" TIR is
permissible.

FIGURE 7A
Before aligning the coupler, make sure there is at least 1/8" end
clearance between the sleeve and the two coupler halves.
1. Check angular misalignment using a micrometer or caliper.
Measure from the outside face of one flange to the outside
face of the opposite flange at four points 90 apart. Refer to
figure 7B. DO NOT ROTATE COUPLER. Misalignment up to
1
/64" per inch of coupler radius is permissible.
2. At four points 90 apart (DO NOT ROTATE COUPLER),
measure the parallel coupler misalignment by laying a
straight edge across one coupler half and measuring the
gap between the straight edge and opposite coupler half.
Up to a 1/64" gap is permissible. Refer to figure 7A.

ANGULAR ALIGNMENT CHECK
For Fine Alignment, Orange Hytrel Sleeves,

3500 RPM Operation, or All Other Coupler Types
Use a dial indicator when greater alignment accuracy is
required. Use the following alignment tolerances unless specified otherwise by the coupler manufacturer. On sleeve type
couplers make sure there is at least 1 / 8 " end clearance
between the sleeve and the two coupler halves.
FIGURE 7B
WARNING: ROTATING COMPONENT HAZARD

Do not operate pump without all guards in place.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury or death, or property damage.
PIPING
PIPING
Always install a section of straight pipe between the suction

side of the pump and first elbow or install a B&G Suction
Diffuser. This reduces turbulence of the suction by straightening out the flow of liquid before it enters the pump. The length
should be equal to five times the diameter of the pipe.
As a rule, ordinary wire or band hangers are not adequate to

maintain alignment. It is very important to provide a strong,
rigid support for the suction and discharge lines.
Be sure to eliminate any pipe-strain on the pump. Support the

suction and discharge pipes independently by use of pipe
hangers near the pump. Line up the piping so that the boltholes in the pump flanges match the bolt-holes in the pipe
flanges. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SPRING THE SUCTION OR
DISCHARGE LINES INTO POSITION. Coupling and bearing
wear will result if suction or discharge lines are forced into
position. The code for Pressure Piping (A.S.A.B. 31.1) lists
many types of supports available for various applications.
Where considerable temperature changes are anticipated,

fittings for absorbing expansion should be installed in the
system in such a way as to avoid strain on the pump.
On an open-system with a suction-lift, use a foot-valve of
equal or greater area than the pump suction piping. Prevent
clogging by using a strainer at the suction inlet next to the
foot-valve. The strainer should have an area three times that of
the suction pipe with a mesh hole diameter of no less than 1/4".
When using an isolation base, flexible piping should be used
on both the suction and discharge sides of the pump.
5
A Triple Duty Valve, such as the one manufactured by Bell &

Gossett, installed in the discharge line will serve as a check
valve to protect the pump from water hammer, as an isolation
valve for servicing and for throttling.
NOTES:
1. The pipeline should have isolation valves around the pump
and have a drain valve in the suction pipe.
2. When installing the suction and discharge connections to a
threaded pump housing the use of teflon tape sealer or a
high quality thread sealant is recommended.
PUMP INSULATION
When insulating a Series 1510 pump, ensure that the bearing
assembly grease fittings remain accessible and visible. The
vent slots on the sides and bottom of the bearing assembly
should remain uncovered and completely open.
LUBRICATION
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
While pump is running regrease pump bearing with NLGI

Grade #2 lithium base petroleum grease after every 2500
hours of operation or every 6 months whichever occurs first.
1. Keep this pump and motor properly lubricated.
Lubricate motor per motor manufacturers instructions.
2. When there is a danger of freezing, drain the pump.

3. Inspect pump regularly for leaky seals or gaskets and loose
or damaged components. Replace or repair as required.

NOTE ON PACKED PUMP OPERATION:

Before starting pump, back off packing gland nuts or screws
until gland is loose. Re-tighten with fingers until gland is just
snug against the first packing ring. Initially, water may run
freely from packing. This is normal and should be allowed to
continue for a period of time before further tightening of the
gland. Tighten gland nuts slowly and uniformly, one flat at a
time.
An adequate leakage rate is not one single value for all pumps
and installations, but is the amount required to provide adequate cooling and lubrication. The required leakage will be
largely influenced by operating pressure, fluid temperature,
shaft speed, etc.
For fluid temperatures in the range of 32 to 190F, average
leakage rates of 60 to 80 drops per minute are recommended.
However, each individual pump and installation will have
unique operating conditions that will result in broadly variable
leakage rate requirements.
At fluid operating temperatures near the upper limit of 190F,
the maximum temperature rise of the leakage is particularly
important. A packed pump should never operate with steam
