unit, are the property of Y ORK which reserves all rights.
They may not b e reproduced, in whole or in part, without
prior written authorisation from an Authorised J ohnson
Controls representative.
1.6 Misu se o f Eq u ipm ent
Su ita b ility fo r Applic a tio n
The units provide chilled liq uid for all air conditioning
applications and are not suitab le for purposes other than
those specified in these instructions. Any use of the
eq uipment other than its intended use, or operation of
the eq uipment contrary to the relevant procedures may
result in injury to the operator, or damage to the
eq uipment.
The unit must not b e operated outside the design limits
specified in this manual.
Str u c tu r a l Su ppo r t
Structural support of the unit must b e provided as
indicated in these instructions. Failure to provide proper
support may result in injury to the operator, or damage to
the eq uipment.
Mec h a nic a l Str eng th
The unit is not designed to withstand loads or stresses
from adjacent eq uipment, pipework or structures.
Additional components must not b e mounted on the
unit. Any such ex traneous loads may cause structural
failure and may result in injury to the operator, or
damage to the eq uipment.
Gener a l Ac c ess
There are a numb er of areas and features that may b e a
haz ard and potentially cause injury when work ing with
the unit unless suitab le safety precautions are tak en. It
is important to ensure access to the unit is restricted to
suitab ly q ualified persons who are familiar with the
potential haz ards and precautions necessary for safe
operation and maintenance of eq uipment containing
high temperatures, pressures and voltages.
Pr essu r e Sy stem s
The unit contains refrigerant vapour and liq uid under
pressure, release of which can b e a danger and cause
injury. The user should ensure that care is tak en during
installation, operation and maintenance to avoid
damage to the pressure system. No attempt should b e
made to gain access to the component parts of the
pressure system other than b y suitab ly trained and
q ualified personnel.
(01/12)

Elec tr ic a l
The unit must b e earthed. No installation or
maintenance work should b e attempted on electrical
eq uipment without first switching off, isolating and
lock ing-off the power supply. W ork on live eq uipment
must only b e carried-out b y suitab ly trained and
q ualified personnel. No attempt should b e made to gain
access to inside of the control panel, wiring or other
electrical enclosures during normal operation of the unit.
Ro ta ting Pa r ts
Fan guards must b e fitted at all times and not removed
unless the main power supply has b een isolated. If
ductwork is to b e fitted, req uiring the wire fan guards to
b e removed, alternative safety measures must b e tak en
to protect against the risk of injury from rotating fans.
Sh a r p Ed g es
The finning on the amb ient coils has sharp metal edges.
Reasonab le care should b e tak en when work ing in
contact with the coils to avoid the risk of minor ab rasions
and lacerations. The use of gloves is recommended.
Refr ig er a nts a nd Oils
Refrigerants and oils used in the unit are generally
non-tox ic, non-flammab le and non-corrosive, and pose
no special safety haz ards. U se of gloves and safety
glasses are, however, recommended when work ing on
the unit. Build up of refrigerant vapour, from a leak for
ex ample, does pose a risk of asphyx iation in confined or
enclosed spaces and attention should b e given to good
ventilation. For more comprehensive information on
safety precautions for use of refrigerants and oils, refer
to the Materials Safety Data tab les provided.
Hig h Tem per a tu r e a nd Pr essu r e Clea ning
H igh temperature and pressure cleaning methods (e.g.
steam cleaning) should not b e used on any part of the
pressure system as this may cause operation of the
pressure relief device(s). Detergents and solvents that
may cause corrosion should also b e avoided.

H AZ ARDS IDENTIFICATION
Potential H ealth Effects Inhalation of high concentrations of vapour is harmful and may cause heart irregularities,
unconsciousness, or death. Intentional misuse or delib erate inhalation may cause death
without warning. Vapour reduces ox ygen availab le for b reathing and is heavier than air. L iq uid
contact can cause frostb ite.
At flame temperatures, this material can decompose to hydrogen fluoride which can b e lethal
at much lower concentrations.
H uman H ealth Effects Overex posure to the vapours b y inhalation may include temporary nervous system depression
with anaesthetic effects such as diz z iness, headache, confusion, incoordination, and loss of
consciousness. H igher ex posures to the vapours may cause temporary alteration of the
heart's electrical activity with irregular pulse, palpitations, or inadeq uate circulation. G ross
overex posure may b e fatal. Sk in contact with the liq uid may cause frostb ite.
Individuals with preex isting diseases of the central nervous or cardiovascular system may
have increased susceptib ility to the tox icity of increased ex posures.

Fire and Ex plosion Cylinders may rupture under fire conditions. Decomposition may occur.
H az ards Contact of welding or soldering torch flame with high concentrations of refrigerant can result in
visib le changes in the siz e and colour of torch flames. This flame effect will only occur in
concentrations of product well ab ove the recommended ex posure limit, therefore stop all work
and ventilate to disperse refrigerant vapours from the work area b efore using any open flames.
R-410A is not flammab le in air at temperatures up to 100 deg C (212 deg F) at atmospheric
pressure. H owever, mix tures of R-410A with high concentrations of air at elevated pressure
and/or temperature can b ecome comb ustib le in the presence of an ignition source. R-410A
can also b ecome comb ustib le in an ox ygen enriched environment (ox ygen concentrations
greater than that in air). W hether a mix ture containing R-410A and air, or R-410A in an ox ygen
enriched atmosphere b ecomes comb ustib le depends on the inter-relationship of 1) the
temperature 2) the pressure, and 3) the proportion of ox ygen in the mix ture. In general,
R-410A should not b e allowed to ex ist with air ab ove atmospheric pressure or at high
temperatures; or in an ox ygen enriched environment. For ex ample: R-410A should NOT b e
mix ed with air under pressure for leak testing or other purposes.
Ex tinguishing Media As appropriate for comb ustib les in area.
Fire Fighting Cool cylinder with water spray or fog. Self-contained b reathing apparatus (SCBA) is req uired if
Instructions cylinders rupture and contents are released under fire conditions. W ater runoff should b e

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2.1 Intr o d u c tio n
Y ORK Y L AE Tempo™ heat pump-chillers provide
chilled and warm liq uid for all air conditioning
applications . All units are designed to b e located
outside on the roof of a b uilding or at ground level.
The unit consists of two separate refrigerant circuits with
two or three hermetic scroll compressors in each circuit,
a single stainless steel plate type heat ex changer,
amb ient coils and ex pansion valves.
2.2 Co m pr esso r s
The unit has hermetic scroll compressors. H igh
efficiency is achieved through a controlled orb it and the
use of advanced scroll geometry. All rotating parts are
statically and dynamically b alanced. The compressor
motors have integral protection against overloads. The
overload protection will automatically reset. Starting is
direct on line. The motor terminal b ox es have IP-54
weather protection.
The compressors are switched On and Off b y the unit
microprocessor to provide capacity control. Each
compressor is fitted with a crank case strap heater.

The units are completely assemb led with all
interconnecting refrigerant piping and internal wiring,
ready for field installation.
Before delivery, the unit is pressure tested, evacuated,
and fully charged with refrigerant and oil in each of the
independent refrigerant circuits. After assemb ly, an
operational test is performed with water flowing through
the plate heat ex changer to ensure that each refrigerant
circuit operates correctly.
The unit structure is manufactured from heavy gauge,
galvanised steel and coated with 'Champagne'
b ak ed-on powder paint.
2.3 Refr ig er a nt Cir c u its
Two independent refrigerant circuits are provided. Each
circuit uses copper refrigerant pipe formed on computer
controlled b ending machines to reduce the numb er of
b raz ed joints resulting in a reliab le and leak resistant
system.
Each circuit shall incorporate all components necessary
for the designed operation including: a liq uid refrigerant
accumulator, a liq uid receiver, a four way reversing
valve, a service valve, isolation (b all) valves, pressure
relief valves, a high ab sorption removab le core
filter-drier, a sight glass with moisture indicator, a
cooling mode thermal ex pansion valve and two heat
pump mode thermal ex pansion valves. Suction lines
shall b e covered with closed-cell insulation.

4 INSTALLATION
4.1 Lo c a tio n Req u ir em ents
To achieve optimum performance and troub le-free
service, it is essential that the proposed installation site
meets with the location and space req uirements for the
model b eing installed. For dimensions, weight and
space req uirements, including service access details,
refer to Section 9.
It is important to ensure that the minimum service
access space is maintained for cleaning and
maintenance purposes.
Th e u nit sh o u ld no t b e insta lled d ir ec tly o n
fla m m a b le m a ter ia ls su c h a s w o o d en
str u c tu r es o r r o o fs.
Ou td o o r Insta lla tio ns
The units may b e installed at ground level, or on a
suitab le rooftop location. In b oth cases an adeq uate
supply of air is req uired. Avoid locations where the air
discharge from the unit may b e ob jectionab le.
The location should b e selected for minimum sun
ex posure and away from b oiler flues and other sources
of airb orne chemicals that could attack the condenser
coils and any other materials in the unit.
If located in an area accessib le to unauthorised
persons, steps must b e tak en to prevent access to the
unit b y means of a protective fence. This will help to
prevent the possib ility of vandalism, accidental damage,
or possib le harm caused b y unauthorised removal of
protective guards or opening panels to ex pose rotating
or high voltage components.
For ground level locations, the unit must b e installed on
a suitab le flat and level concrete b ase that ex tends to
fully support the two side channels of the unit b ase
frame. A one-piece concrete slab , with footings
ex tending b elow the frost line is recommended. To
avoid noise and vib ration transmission the unit should
not b e secured to the concrete b ase.
On rooftop installations, choose a location with
adeq uate structural strength to safely support the entire
operating weight of the unit and service personnel. If the
unit is elevated b eyond the normal reach of service
personnel, a suitab le catwalk capab le of supporting
service personnel, their eq uipment, and the
compressors must b e installed. The unit may b e
mounted on a concrete slab , similar to ground floor
locations, or on steel channels of suitab le strength.
(01/12)
035-16870-100 Rev. 0 4- 1
The channels should b e spaced at the same centres as
the vib ration mounting holes in the unit b ase frame and
must b e at least 120 mm wide at the contact points. This
will allow vib ration isolators to b e fitted if req uired.
Any ductwork or attenuators fitted ab ove the unit must
not have a total static pressure resistance, at full unit
airflow, ex ceeding the capab ility of the fans installed in
the unit.
Ind o o r Insta lla tio ns
The unit may b e installed in an enclosed plant room
providing the floor is level and of suitab le strength to
support the full operating weight of the unit. It is essential
that there is adeq uate clearance for airflow to the unit.
The discharge air from the top of the unit must b e ducted
away to prevent recirculation of air within the plant room.
If common ducts are used for fans, non-return dampers
must b e fitted to the outlet from each fan.
The discharge ducting must b e siz ed with a total static
pressure loss, together with any intak e static pressure
loss, less than the availab le static pressure capab ility for
the type of fan fitted.
The discharge air duct usually rejects outside the
b uilding through a louvre. The outlet must b e positioned
to prevent the air b eing drawn directly b ack into the air
intak e for the condenser coils as such recirculation will
affect unit performance.
4.2 Lo c a tio n Clea r a nc es
Adeq uate clearances around the unit(s) are req uired for
the unrestricted airflow for the air-cooled condenser
coils and to prevent recirculation of warm discharge air
b ack onto the coils. If clearances given are not
maintained, airflow restriction or recirculation will cause
a loss of unit performance, an increase in power
consumption and may cause the unit to malfunction.
Consideration should also b e given to the possib ility of
down draughts, caused b y adjacent b uildings, which
may cause recirculation or uneven unit airflow.
For locations where significant cross winds are
ex pected, such as ex posed roof tops, a solid enclosure
or louvre type is recommended to prevent wind
turb ulence interfering with the unit airflow.
W hen units are installed in an enclosure, the enclosure
height should not ex ceed the height of the unit on more
than one side. If the enclosure is of louvered
construction the same req uirement of static pressure
loss applies as for ducts and attenuators stated ab ove.
W here accumulation of snow is lik ely, additional height
must b e provided under the unit to ensure normal airflow
to the unit is unimpeded.
 4- 2 035-16870-100 Rev. 0
The clearance dimensions given are
necessary to maintain good airflow and
ensure correct unit operation. It is also
necessary to consider access req uirements
for safe operation and maintenance of the unit
and power and control panels. L ocal H ealth
and Safety Regulations, or practical
considerations for service replacement of
large components, may req uire larger
clearances than those given in Section 9.
4.3 Co m pr esso r Sh ipping Bo lts
Remove the 4 b olts securing the underside of each
compressor to the unit b ase.
The compressor shipping b olts must b e
refitted prior to any sub seq uent movement of
the unit.

4.4 Insta lla tio n o f Vib r a tio n Iso la to r s
Optional sets of vib ration isolators may b e supplied
loose with each unit.
n Identify each mount and its correct location on the
unit.
Mo u nts - Insta lla tio n
n Place each mount in its correct position and lower
the unit carefully onto the mounts.
n Transfer the unit weight evenly to the springs and fit
and adjust the mounts in accordance with
Section 9.
4.5 Pipew o r k Co nnec tio n
Gener a l Req u ir em ents
The following piping recommendations are intended to
ensure satisfactory operation of the unit(s). Failure to
follow these recommendations could cause damage to
the unit, or loss of performance, and may invalidate the
warranty.
The max imum flow rate and pressure drop for
the cooler must not b e ex ceeded at any time.
Refer to Section 9 for details.
n The liq uid must enter the plate heat ex changer b y
the INLET connection (refer to Section 9 ).
n A flow switch must b e installed in the customer
pipework at the outlet of the plate heat ex changer
and wired b ack to the control panel using screened
cab le. For details refer to 'Electrical Connection.'
This is to prevent damage to the plate heat
ex changer caused b y the unit operating without
adeq uate liq uid flow. To prevent turb ulent flow
there must b e straight pipework either side of the
flow switch eq ual in length to at least 5 times the
diameter of the pipe.
n The flow switch used must have gold plated
contacts for low voltage/current operation. Paddle
type flow switches suitab le for 10 b arg work ing
pressure and having a 1" B.S.P. connection may
b e ob tained from J ohnson Controls as an
accessory for the unit.
n The liq uid pump installed in the pipework system
should discharge directly into the unit plate heat
ex changer section of the system. The pump may
b e controlled ex ternal to the unit — b ut an override
must b e wired to the control panel so that the unit
can start the pump in the event that the liq uid
temperature falls b elow the minimum setting. For
details refer to 'Electrical Connection.'
n Pipework and fittings must b e separately
supported to prevent any loading on the plate heat
ex changer. Flex ib le connections are
recommended which will also minimise
transmission of vib rations to the b uilding. Flex ib le
connections must b e used if the unit is mounted on
anti-vib ration mounts as some movement of the
unit can b e ex pected in normal operation.
n Pipework and fittings immediately adjacent to the
plate heat ex changer should b e readily
de-mountab le to enab le cleaning b efore operation,
and to facilitate visual inspection of the plate heat
ex changer noz z les.
(01/12)
 035-16870-100 Rev. 0 4- 3

n The plate heat ex changer must b e protected b y a 4.6 Wa ter Tr ea tm ent

strainer, preferab ly of 20 microns, fitted as close as
possib le to the liq uid inlet connection, and provided
with a means of local isolation.
n The plate heat ex changer must not b e ex posed to
flushing velocities or deb ris released during
flushing. It is recommended that a suitab ly siz ed
b y-pass and valve arrangement is installed to allow
flushing of the pipework system. The b y-pass may
b e used during maintenance to isolate the heat
ex changer without disrupting flow to other units.
n Thermometer and pressure gauge connections
should b e provided on the inlet and outlet
connections of the plate heat ex changer.
n Drain and air vent connections should b e provided
at all low and high points in the pipework to permit
drainage of the system and to vent any air in the
pipes.
The unit performance given in the Design G uide is
b ased on a fouling factor of 0.044 m² ° C/k W
(0.00025 ft²hr° F/Btu). Dirt, scale, grease and certain
types of water treatment will adversely affect the heat
ex changer surfaces and therefore unit performance.
Foreign matter in the water system will increase the heat
ex changer pressure drop, reducing the flow rate and
causing potential damage to the heat ex changer tub es.
Aerated, b rack ish or salt water is not recommended for
use in the water system. J ohnson Controls recommend
that a water treatment specialist is consulted to
determine that the proposed water composition will not
affect the plate heat ex changer materials of carb on steel
and copper. The pH value of the water flowing through
the plate heat ex changer must b e k ept b etween 7 and

4.9 Refr ig er a nt Relief Va lv e Piping
The plate heat ex changer is protected against internal
refrigerant over pressure and fire b y refrigerant relief
valves. Pressure relief valves are mounted on the
suction, discharge and accumulator lines.
It is recommended that a vent pipe is fitted to each valve
and directed so that when the valve is activated the
release of high pressure gas and liq uid cannot b e a
danger or cause injury. For indoor installations pressure
relief valves should b e piped to the ex terior of the
b uilding.
The siz e of any pipework attached to a relief valve must
b e of sufficient diameter so as not to cause resistance to
the operation of the valve. U nless otherwise specified b y
local regulations, the internal diameter depends on the
length of pipe req uired and is given b y the following
formula:
5
D = 1.447 x L
W here:
D = minimum pipe internal diameter in centimetres
L = length of pipe in metres
If relief pipework is common to more than one valve its
cross sectional area must b e at least the total req uired
b y each valve. Valve types should not b e mix ed on a
common pipe. Precautions should b e tak en to ensure
that the ex it of relief valves/vent pipe remain clear of
ob structions at all times.
W hen the optional isolation valves are fitted in
the discharge pipework of each system, the
related pressure relief valve should b e piped
in the same manner as the other relief valves.
4.10 Du c tw o r k Co nnec tio n
Gener a l Req u ir em ents
There will b e a loss of capacity if the unit air
volume is reduced. Therefore ensure that fans
have sufficient ex ternal static pressure b efore
applying ductwork or other attached
components.
The following ductwork recommendations are intended
to ensure satisfactory operation of the unit. Failure to
follow these recommendations could cause damage to
the unit, or loss of performance, and may invalidate the
warranty.
n W hen ducting is to b e fitted to the fan discharge it is
recommended that the duct should b e the same
cross sectional area as the fan outlet and straight
for at least one metre to ob tain static regain from
the fan.
n Ductwork should b e suspended with flex ib le
hangers to prevent noise and vib ration b eing
transmitted to the structure. A flex ib le joint is also
recommended b etween the duct attached to the
fan and the nex t section for the same reason.
Flex ib le connectors should not b e allowed to
concertina.
n The unit is not designed to tak e structural loading.
No significant amount of weight should b e allowed
to rest on the fan outlet flange, deck assemb lies or
condenser coil module. No more than one metre of
light construction ductwork should b e supported b y
the unit. W here cross winds may occur, any
ductwork must b e supported to prevent side
loading on the unit.
n If the ducts from two or more fans are to b e
comb ined into a common duct, b ack -flow dampers
should b e fitted in the individual fan ducts. This will
prevent recirculation of air when only one of the
fans is running.
n U nits are supplied with outlet guards for safety and
to prevent damage to the fan b lades. If these
guards are removed to fit ductwork , adeq uate
alternative precautions must b e tak en to ensure
persons cannot b e harmed or put at risk from
rotating fan b lades.

During the commissioning period there should
b e sufficient heat load to run the unit under
stab le full load operation to enab le the unit
controls, and system operation to b e set up
correctly and a commissioning log tak en.
Read the following section in conjunction with
the MBCS Manual, then proceed step b y step
as follows:
Inter lo c k s: Verify that liq uid is flowing through the plate
heat ex changer and that a load is present. Ensure that
any remote run interlock s are in the run position and that
the run schedule req uires the unit to run or is overridden.
Sta r t-u p: Set the unit switch to the ON position to start
the unit (there may b e a few seconds delay b efore the
first compressor starts b ecause of the anti-recycle
timer). Be ready when each compressor starts, to switch
the unit off immediately if any unusual noises or other
adverse conditions develop. Refer to the Section 6 for
the normal operating seq uence from start-up.
ex pansion valves are factory set and should not need
adjustment. If any superheat values are out of range,
however, the ex pansion valve adjusting screw should
b e adjusted no more than 1 turn at a time (‘in’ to increase
superheat, ‘out’ to decrease superheat), allowing at
least 10 minutes for the valve to stab ilise b efore
recheck ing the value of superheat.
Su b c o o ling : Check liq uid sub cooling at steady full
compressor load only. It is important that all fans are
running for the system. Measure liq uid line temperature
on the copper line b eside the main liq uid line service
valve. Measure liq uid pressure at the liq uid line service
valve. Sub cooling should b e 5° C to 7° C relative to the
’b ub b le’ temperature. If sub cooling is out of range add or
remove refrigerant as req uired. Do not overcharge the
unit.
Gener a l o per a tio n: After completion of the ab ove
check s for System 1 repeat the process for system 2. In
addition, check that loading occurs as specified in the
Section 6 and that general operation is correct.

Refr ig er a nt flo w : W hen a compressor starts a flow of

liq uid refrigerant will b e seen in the liq uid line sight glass.
After several minutes operation and providing a full
charge of refrigerant is in the system, the b ub b les will

Sy stem Oper a tio n: U se the ‘OPER DATA’ k ey to check

the system pressures and temperatures.

F a n r o t a t io n: As discharge pressure rises, the

condenser fans operate in stages to control the
pressure. Verify that the fan operation is correct for the
type of unit.

Su c tio n Su per h ea t: Check suction superheat at steady

full system load only. It is important that no b ub b les
show in the liq uid line sight glass. Measure suction
temperature on the copper line ab out 150 mm b efore the
