R-22 = 260 psi (1,793 kPa/17.93 bars) 

 

Note:  Due to the variables involved in remote air-cooled condenser installations, no set or 

standard piping procedure exists. Each installation must be designed and installed by 
qualified persons. Follow the instructions supplied with the condenser. 

 
 

Note:   

 

•

  Never switch contactor leads or motor leads for reversing 

rotation. 

•

  Do not use contactor or motor leads for phase matching. 

•

  Compressor noise from reverse rotation is noticeable. Do not 

run in this mode for more than ten (10) seconds. The 
compressor shuts off if run longer in this mode. 

•

  Reverse rotation can cause suction and discharge pressures to 

be approximately equal; amp draws will be lower than normal. 

•

  If you discover that compressor rotation is reversed, correct it 

by switching any two main power leads into the disconnect 
switch or distribution block on the unit. 

A positive pressure of 20 to 30 psi (137.9 to 206.8 kPa/1.38 to 2.07 
bars) on the 

 line indicates correct pump rotation. 

 
Condenser Fan 

On SSC Series remote air-cooled units, air should draw through 
the condenser and discharge up from the condenser. 

 

•

  Disconnect and lock out power at the fused disconnect. 

•

  If all fans are going backwards, reverse any two main power 

leads. 

•

  If only some of the fans are going backwards, switch any two of 

their respective motor leads.
