AE4-1338 R2 Instructions Pertaining to Risk of Electrical Shock, Fire, or Injury to Persons ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD WARNING • Disconnect and lock out power before servicing. • Discharge all capacitors before servicing. • Use compressor with grounded system only. • Molded electrical plug must be used when required. • Refer to original equipment wiring diagrams. • • Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious personal injury. PRESSURIZED SYSTEM HAZARD WARNING • System contains refrigerant and oil under pressure. • Remove refrigerant from both the high and low compressor side before removing compressor. • • Never install a system and leave it unattended when it has no charge, a holding charge, or with the service valves closed without electrically locking out the system. • Use only approved refrigerants and refrigeration oils. • Personal safety equipment must be used. • Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious personal injury. BURN HAZARD WARNING • Do not touch the compressor until it has cooled down. • Ensure that materials and wiring do not touch high temperature areas of the compressor. • Use caution when brazing system components. • Personal safety equipment must be used. • Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious personal injury or property damage. COMPRESSOR HANDLING CAUTION • Use the appropriate lifting devices to move compressors. • Personal safety equipment must be used. • Failure to follow these warnings could result in personal injury or property damage. Safety Statements • Refrigerant compressors must be employed only for their intended use. • install, commission and maintain this equipment. • • All valid standards and codes for installing, servicing, and maintaining electrical and refrigeration equipment must be observed. © 2012 Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc. 3 Printed in the U.S.A. AE4-1338 R2 Introduction number. An example is the ZRH72KJE. For approved lubricants see form number 93-11, titled Emerson ™ horizontal compressors are designed Copeland Scroll Accepted Refrigerants/Lubricants. Any of the listed oils for use in mobile and fixed air conditioning, heat may be used to recharge these compressors or if the pump, and refrigeration applications. Typical model addition of oil is required. See compressor nameplate numbers are ZRH72KJE-TFD and ZBH30KJE-TF5. for original oil charge. A complete recharge should be four ounces (118 ml) less than the original oil charge. This bulletin describes the operating characteristics, design features, and application requirements for these models. Operating principles of the Copeland Scroll CAUTION compressor are described in AE4-1312. The horizontal scroll compressor utilizes the same technology as POE must be handled carefully and the proper the vertical offerings and also incorporates a positive protective equipment (gloves, eye protection, etc.) displacement oil pump to enable horizontal operation. must be used when handling POE lubricant. POE In addition, an oil Schrader valve fitting and an must not come into contact with any surface or oil sight glass are available on ZB models. These material that might be harmed by POE, including features result in a low profile horizontal compressor without limitation, certain polymers (e.g. PVC/ which is suitable for the most demanding mobile or CPVC and polycarbonate). fixed air conditioning and refrigeration applications.

Discharge Temperature Protection Inverter Operation The horizontal compressor has no internal scroll Since Copeland Scroll horizontal compressors are temperature protection. As a result, an external designed for mobile air conditioning applications, discharge line sensor is required for all refrigeration they can operate on inverter-derived power. The and heat pump applications to provide loss of charge ZRH and ZBH compressors are limited to fixed- protection. This is because of the very low setting speed operation at either 50 or 60 Hz. There is a required on the low pressure cutouts of these systems separate line of variable speed ZRHV and ZBHV due to their evaporating temperatures. Air conditioning Copeland Scroll horizontal compressors which can be systems do not always need the discharge line sensor. operated over the range of 35-75 Hz. Application of The discharge line sensor is not normally required for the variable speed ZRHV and ZBHV compressors is loss of charge protection when a low
