MECHANICAL-TYPE STARTERS
1. Check all field wiring connections for tightness, clear-
ance from moving parts, and correct connection.
2. Check the contactor(s) to be sure they move freely. Check
the mechanical interlock between contactors to ensure that
1S and 2M contactors cannot be closed at the same time.
Check all other electro-mechanical devices, e.g., relays,
timers, for free movement. If the devices do not move
freely, contact the starter manufacturer for replacement
components.
3. Some dashpot-type magnetic overload relays must be filled
with oil on the job site. If the starter is equipped with
devices of this type, remove the fluid cups from these mag-
netic overload relays. Add dashpot oil to cups per in-
structions supplied with the starter. The oil is usually shipped
in a small container attached to the starter frame near the
relays. Use only dashpot oil supplied with the starter. Do
not substitute.
Factory-filled dashpot overload relays need no oil at start-up
and solid-state overload relays do not have oil.
4. Reapply starter control power (not main chiller power)to
check electrical functions. When using a reduced-voltage
starter (such as a wye-delta type) check the transition timer
for proper setting. The factory setting is 5 seconds (±1
second), timed closing. The timer is adjustable in a range
from 0.1 to 30 seconds and settings other than the nomi-
nal 5 seconds may be chosen as needed (typically 3 to 30
seconds are used).
When the timer has been set, check that the starter, with
relay 1CR closed, goes through a complete and proper
start cycle.
BENSHAW, INC. SOLID-STATE STARTERS
This equipment is at line voltage when AC power is con-
nected. Pressing the STOP button does not remove volt-
age. Use caution when adjusting the potentiometers on
the equipment.
1. Check that all wiring connections are properly termi-
nated to the starter.
2. Verify that the ground wire to the starter is installed prop-
erly and is of sufficient size.
3. Verify that the motors are properly grounded to the starter.
4. Check that all of the relays are properly seated in their
sockets.
5. Verify that the proper ac input voltage is brought into the
starter per the certified drawings.
6. Verify the initial factory settings of the starting torque and
ramp potentiometers are set per the note on the schematic
for the starters.
NOTE: The potentiometers are located at the lower left
hand corner on the circuit board mounted in front of the
starter power stack (Fig. 36 and 37). The board is turned
on its side so that the 9:00 o’clock position is located where
the 6:00 o’clock position would normally be located.
The starting torque potentiometer should be set so that
when the PIC calls for the motor to start, the rotor should
start to turn. The nominal dial position for a 60 Hz motor
is approximately in the 11:30 position. The dial position
for 50 Hz motors is approximately in the 9:30 position
when the board is turned on its side so that the 9:00 o’clock
position is located where the 6:00 o’clock position would
normally be located. The ramp potentiometer should be
set that so the motor is up to full speed in 8 to 10 seconds,
the bypass contactors have energized, and the auxiliary
LCD is energized.
7. Proceed to apply power to the starter.
8. The Power +15 and Phase Correct LEDs should be on. If
not, see the Troubleshooting Guide, Solid-State Starter
section.
Oil Charge — If oil is added, it must meet Carrier’s speci-
fication for screw compressor usage as described in the Chang-
ing Oil and Oil Filter section on page 64. Charge the oil through
the oil charging valve. The oil must be pumped from the oil
container through the charging valve due to higher refrig-
erant pressure. The pumping device must be able to lift from
0 to 200 psig (0 to 1380 kPa) or above unit pressure. Oil
should only be charged or removed when the machine is
shut down.
All oil filter isolation valves should always be left open,
except when changing the oil, or oil filter as defined in
the Changing Oil and Oil Filter section, page 64.
Power Up the Controls and Check the Oil Heater
NOTE: Frame 1 and 2 machines include an oil heater.
Frame 4 machines do not use an oil heater.
Ensure that an oil level is visible in the oil sump section
before energizing controls. A circuit breaker in the starter
energizes the oil heater and the control circuit. When first
powered, the LID should display the default screen within a
short period of time.
The oil heater is energized by powering the control cir-
cuit. This should be done several hours before start-up to
minimize oil-refrigerant migration. The oil heater is con-
trolled by the PIC and is powered through a contactor in the
power panel. Starters contain a separate circuit breaker to
power the heater and the control circuit. This set up allows
the heater to energize when the main motor circuit breaker
is off for service work or extended shutdowns. The oil heater
relay status can be viewed on the Status02 table on the LID.
Oil sump temperature can be viewed on the LID default screen.
Minimum oil sump temperature set point when the com-
pressor is shut down is 140 F (60 C).
NOTE: The PSIO software version will always be labelled
on the PSIO module and on the back of the LID module.
The PSIO software version number will also appear on both
the Controller ID and LID ID display screens.
Set Up Machine Control Configuration
Do not operate the machine before the control configu-
rations have been checked and a control test has been
satisfactorily completed. Protection by safety controls
cannot be assumed until all control configurations have
been confirmed.
As configuration of the 23XL machine is performed, write
down all configuration settings. A log, such as the one shown
on pages CL-1 to CL-12, provides a convenient list for con-
figuration values.
