Note: For systems with defrost heater load higher than 30 Amp, external contactors are required to power the defrost heaters. The defrost heaters relay on the intelliGen controller use as pilot relay for the external contactors.

Conduit runs for field wires
Field wires between the intelliGen controller and the unit cooler should be in conduits and meet local building and electric code requirements. Conduit fittings are also needed based on installation application. A site survey and installation planning is recommended to determine conduit lengths and the type of conduit fittings and quantity needed. It is required to run power wires and low voltage (sensors and communication) wires in separate conduits.
Wire Protection
High voltage and low voltages wires inside the iFM kit requires additional insulation protection. Wire sheathing should cover all wiring within the iFM enclosure. Sets of wire sheathing are provided with the iFM kit. High voltage wires may share a sheath, and low voltage wires may share a sheath, but each group should be separately sheathed to maintain separation.

Equipment StartUp

Check-Out Installation
After the installation has been completed, the following points should be covered before the system is placed in operation:
(a) Check all electrical and refrigerant connections. Be sure they are all correct and tight.
(b) Check voltage taps on transformer at the evaporators for proper supply voltage connection if a multitap transformer is used.
(c) Check high and low pressure controls, pressure regulating valves, oil pressure safety controls, and all other safety controls and adjust them, if necessary.
(d) On freezers only, check the low pressure switch setting. It must be set to 0 PSIG cut out, 10 PSIG cut in, to allow start and operation, especially in cold ambients. Applies to special intelliGen condensing units only.
(e) Suction and liquid lines should always be insulated.
(f) Wiring diagrams, instruction bulletins, etc. attached to the condensing units should be read and filed for future reference.

(g) All fan motors on air cooled condensers, evaporators, etc. should be checked for proper rotation. Fan motor mounts should be carefully checked for tightness and proper alignment.
(h) Observe system pressures during charging and initial operation. Do not add oil while the system is short of refrigerant unless oil level is dangerously low.
(i) Continue charging until system has sufficient refrigerant for proper operation. Do not overcharge. Remember that bubbles in a sight glass may be caused by a restriction as well as a shortage of refrigerant.
CAUTION: Extreme care must be taken in starting compressors for the first time after system charging. At this time, all of the oil and most of the refrigerant might be in the compressor creating a condition which could cause compressor damage due to slugging. Activating the crankcase heater for 24 hours prior to start-up is recommended. If no crankcase heater is present, then directing a 500 watt heat lamp or other safe heat source on the lower shell of the compressor for approximately thirty minutes will be beneficial in eliminating this condition which might never reoccur.

Initial Power On
When power supply is connected to the iRC for the first time, a series of inputs is required to identify specific system parameters. Since there are no factory set-point defaults pre-setup, the Quick Set-up procedure is triggered to capture essential information about the system when the system is first energized. This also occurs when a new iRC board is installed on a single evaporator system.
Inputs for the Quick Set-up are made using the iRC user interface (UI) control. The Control Knob on the iRC UI is used to navigate through the required steps and to identify selections. Turning the knob will navigate through possible selections for that particular parameter. Pressing the Control Knob makes selections (similar to an Enter key on a PC).

Equipment StartUp

System Start-up
When the system is initiated for the first time, the compressor and the electric defrost evaporator fans will be in a hold-off cycle and will not start unless the hold-off cycle is complete. The electric expansion valve (EXV) then opens to 50% and will begin its superheat control sequence. The compressor starts and will be in a "hold-on" cycle. (This is to minimize short-cycling of the system).
At initial start-up, the system may cycle off after a few minutes and display a low superheat error, then restart itself. This cycle may be repeated a few times. Do not shut the system off. Let the system run, as it may take a few cycles for the electric expansion valve to attain the correct setting for the set superheat.
Do not leave the unit unattended until the system has reached normal operating conditions with the box pulled down to design conditions and the oil charge has been properly adjusted to maintain the oil level at the center of the sight glass.

When the room thermostat setting is satisfied (which may take a considerable amount of time on "hot-box" pulldown), and if the compressor has run for a minimum time for the "hold-on" cycle, the EXV will close (shutting off the refrigerant flow to the evaporator), and the system will pumpdown and shut off. The evaporator fans will continue to run.
Call for Cooling Start-up Operation
When the box temperature sensor detects a rise of approximately half the box temperature differential, and the system has been off a minimum of the hold-off cycle time, the EXV will open to its last position, and the compressor will start. The EXV is then adjusted as necessary to obtain and maintain the superheat setting. During this time, the compressor will run for a minimum of the "hold-on" cycle time.
