Outdoor Unit Features – Sound Reduction
Operation Sound Reduction Functions

 Night Shift Mode:

Function Setting item that could be set from the outdoor PCB for cooling operation.
When the ambient temperature is 86F or less the rotation speed of the compressor
and outdoor fan is automatically lowered.

 Low Noise Setting Mode:

Function Setting Item that could be set from the outdoor PCB or wired controller.
This function reduces the upper limit of the compressor frequency and outdoor fan
rotation regardless of the ambient temperature. Depending on the outdoor unit
model there are different settings.

Pressure Testing
 Pressurize with dry nitrogen:
150 PSIG for 5 minutes 300 PSIG for 15 minutes 600 PSIG for 24 hours

 Use the correct leak detection solution sold from your local supply
house or ultrasonic leak detector
 Release pressure
 Repair leak
 Re-test for leaks

173 Johnson Controls, Inc. —

Piping
Pressure Testing
 A pressure change of 0.805 psig for every 1°F change in temperature can occur
 After pressurizing the system to 600 psig, record the ambient temperature
 After the 24 hour pressure test, record the ambient temperature and pressure

Pressure Change Calculation:

 Initial Pressure – ((Current temperature – Initial temperature) X 0.805) = Pressure Drop

 EXAMPLE:
 85ºF ambient temperature when initially pressurized to 600 psig using dry nitrogen
 80ºF ambient temperature after 24 hour pressure test
 600 psi – ((80-85) X 0.805) = PSIG
 600 psi – (-5 X .805) = PSIG
 600 psi – 4.025 = 595.97 PSIG

 Service Checker Tips

 Items to look for during test run operation

 Outdoor Unit (Heating Operation) (Outdoor temperature higher than 32°F)
■ Check the operation data after 20 minutes
■ Check the TDSH (Target Discharge Superheat) in the range of 27° - 81°F
■ Is Ps (Suction Pressure) 22 – 189 psi
■ Is Pd (Discharge Pressure) 232 – 522 psi
■ Is there any protection or error codes present

Commissioning Steps #13
Outdoor Unit
 Service Checker Tips

■ Indoor Units Cooling Operation (Outdoor temp is higher than 59°F)

■ Is TL (Liquid pipe temp) lower than Ti (Inlet air temp)
■ Is TG (Gas Pipe Temp) lower than Ti (Inlet air temp)
■ Is the iE (Electronic Expansion Valve) abnormally high or low
■ When the indoor unit is close to set point
■ EEV could be close to the minimum position 2%
■ Liquid and gas pipe temperatures could be closer to the inlet temperature

■ If your TL and TG are almost the same temperature and close to your Ti, verify that
there are not ball valves left closed to stop the refrigerant flow
