Overview
Starting up is the hardest time in the life of any type of electrical equipment. Ever notice thatlight bulbs almost always burn out when you first turn them on and not while they are on? Thisis due to the huge current that rushes in when a switch is thrown and power is first applied.The compressor on your Air Conditioner consumes more power on start up than any other devicein your home. A compressor may consume 45,000 watts of power while the motor is trying tostart-TEN times more power than it uses while running. The large burner on an electric stoveonly consumes approximately 2,000 watts on high. In-rush current can damage thecompressor’s motor and that motor may start up more than 6,000times in a single cooling season.A 5-2-1 COMPRESSOR SAVER significantly reduces the amount oftime your compressor is on high amp start-up. Some top-of-the-lineA/C units come from the factory with 5-2-1 technology built in. Nowyou can have a 5-2-1 COMPRESSOR SAVER installed in your A/Cunit by a professional.The 5-2-1 COMPRESSOR SAVER uses a powerful multi-layerstarting capacitor and a smart switch to give your compressor theboost it needs to start up quickly, more reliably, draw less power andsave you money, too.The cost of a 5-2-1 COMPRESSOR SAVER is a fraction of the cost of replacing a compressordamaged by hard starts. It could add years to the life of your compressor and other electricalcomponents associated with your A/C system.GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Only trained and qualified service personnel should install this kit. Most states, countries etc. mayrequire the installer to be licensed. Please check with your local government agency.
DANGER - ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
- always disconnect the power source beforeattempting to install this kit. Failure to do so may result in severe electrical injury or even death.
CAUTION - EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
- Failure to properly install this kit can and willcause permanent damage to the compressor and related components.1) Disconnect all sources of power to the unit. Note that there may be more than one. 2) Locate and remove the electrical service access door or panel. 3) Mount the 5-2-1® Kit potential relay and start capacitor in a suitable location within theelectrical box. The potential relay should be mounted with the mounting tab up. The capacitorshould be mounted with the terminals up. Take care to mount the components so that allnon-insulated live terminals are at least 1⁄2\" away from all metal or electrical conducting partsor components. Mount in a location that will prevent water from coming in contact with thenon-insulated live contacts.
NOTE – The 5-2-1® Compressor Saver ® has been pre-wired for your convenience. There are only3 color coded wires which need to be connected. The Black wire will be connected to the Commonside of the compressor. The Striped wire will be connected to the Start winding of thecompressor and the Red wire will be connected to the Run winding of the compressor.Remember – 5, 2, 1, = Common, Start, Run.
Proceed as follows: 5) Common - Connect the loose end of the Black wire to T1 of the contactor. Check to see thatthe Common “C” terminal of the compressor also connects to T1. In most cases you will finda Black wire coming from the Common “C” terminal of the compressor. 2) Start - Connect the loose end of the Striped wire to the Start winding side of the runcapacitor. The Start winding side of the run capacitor is always marked “HERM”. The Startwinding side of the run capacitor can also be verified by following the yellow or orange or bluewire (in most cases) from the compressor “S” terminal to the Start winding side of the runcapacitor. 1) Run - Connect the loose end of the Red wire to the Run winding side of the compressor.The Run winding is connected to T2 of the contactor as well as the common side of the runcapacitor which is usually marked with a “C” or “=”. The Run winding can be identified in mostcases by a Red wire coming from the R terminal on the compressor. The Red wire from the5-2-1® start kit is normally connected at the “C” or “=” terminal on the run capacitor, but canalso be connected to T2 of the contactor.
