General Operation
Refrigerant Cycle (Cooling Mode)
The ComPac I & ComPac II A/C use R-22 refrigerant in a conventional vapor-compression refrigeration cycle to transfer heat from air in an enclosed space to the outside. A double blower assembly blows
indoor air across the evaporator. Cold liquid refrigerant passing through the evaporator is boiled into gas
by heat removed from the air. The warmed refrigerant gas enters the compressor where its temperature
and pressure are increased. The hot refrigerant gas condenses to liquid as heat is transferred to outdoor
air drawn across the condenser by the condenser fan. Liquid refrigerant is metered into the evaporator
through capillary tubes to repeat the cycle.
Heating Mode
A wall-mounted thermostat controls the heating cycle of models which incorporate resistance heating
elements. On a call for heat, the thermostat closes the heat relay to energize the indoor fan and the
resistance elements.
Economizer Operation (ComPac II A/C Only)
The economizer is a regulated damper system with controls. The damper regulates the circulation
of outside air into the enclosure (when the outdoor air conditions are suitable) to reduce the need for
mechanical cooling, save energy, and extend compressor life.
Depending upon the options selected, the damper responds to the enthalpy of the outdoor air. On a call
for cooling from a space thermostat, it operates as follows:
When the enthalpy of the outdoor air is below the set point, the outdoor air damper is proportionally open (and return air damper is proportionally closed) to maintain between 50F and 56F at the
mixed/discharge air sensor. Integral pressure relief allows the interior air to exit the shelter, permitting
outside air to enter the shelter.
When the enthalpy of the outdoor air is above the set point, the outdoor air damper closes to its minimum
position. A call for cooling from the space thermostat brings on mechanical cooling.
An optional built-in adjustable minimum position potentiometer (part number 70012) controls the
amount of outdoor air admitted to meet minimum ventilation requirements.
1.6
Standard Controls
Time Delay/Anti-Short Cycle Timer
The time delay module (delay on make) prevents the compressor from restarting immediately after
interruption of power. The delay interval, which is adjustable from .2 to 8 minutes (factory set at 3
minutes), protects the compressor by allowing internal refrigerant pressures to equalize. For dual units,
set one timer at 3 minutes and the other at 5 minutes.
The time delay does not effect the electric heat circuit.
Low Ambient Control
The low ambient control permits cooling when outdoor ambient temperatures are low. The control
uses a reverse-acting high pressure switch to cycle the condenser fan motor according to liquid refrigerant pressure conditions. Switch closure and fan operation occurs when the pressure reaches 250
PSIG. The switch opens again when the refrigerant pressure falls to 190 PSIG. Therefore, the outdoor
fan always starts after the compressor, and it will cycle frequently during normal operation at low
outdoor conditions.
1.6
1.7
1.8
Electrical Diagrams
The compressor and condenser fan are energized with a contactor controlled by a 24 VAC pilot
signal.
The condenser (outside fan) motor is energized by the same contactor. However, the motor is cycled
on and off by the low ambient control (see low ambient control 1.6).
The indoor evaporator fan motor is controlled by the fan purge on the electronic control board.

The controller modulates the position of the outside air damper in response to input from the enthalpy
and mixed air sensors. The controller is designed to maintain the supply air temperature between 50
to 56F by mixing warm indoor air with cooler outdoor air.
On a call for cooling from the wall-mounted thermostat, if outdoor conditions are suitable, the controller
will open the damper and admit outside air (i.e., economizer cooling). If the outdoor ambient is too
hot or humid, the controller will place the actuator in the closed or minimum open position and activate
mechanical cooling. The compressor is locked out during the economizer cooling mode.

IMPORTANT: Marvair requires a minimum of one inch from the surface of any supply ducts to
combustible material for the first three feet of the duct.
Ducting
Extensions should be cut flush with the inside wall for applications without duct work.
Applications using duct work should be designed and installed in accordance with all applicable safety
codes and standards. Marvair strongly recommends referring to the current edition of the National
Fire Protection Association Standards 90A and 90B before designing and installing duct work. The
duct system must be engineered to insure sufficient air flow through the unit to prevent over-heating
of the heater element. This includes proper supply duct sizing, sufficient quantity of supply registers,
adequate return and filter area. Ductwork must be of correct material and must be properly insulated.
Duct work must be constructed of galvanized steel with a minimum thickness of .019 inches. Ductwork
must be firmly attached, secured and sealed to prevent air leakage. Do not use duct liner on inside of
supply duct within 4 feet of the unit.
Galvanized metal duct extensions should be used to simplify connections to duct work and grilles. Use
fabric boots to prevent the transmission of vibration through the duct system. The fabric must be U.L.
rated to a minimum of 197F.
Minimum Airflow Requirements
The duct system must be engineered to assure sufficient air flow through the unit even under adverse
conditions such as dirty filters, etc. Use Table 1, CFM at External Static Pressure (Wet Coil) in

Electrical Connections
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death, and/or
property damage.
Turn off electrical power at fuse box or service panel BEFORE making any electrical
connections and ensure a proper ground connection is made before connecting line
voltage.
Important
All electrical work must meet the requirements of local codes and ordinances. Work should be
done only by qualified persons.
High Voltage Wiring - (Single Units)
The power supply should have the proper voltage, phase, and ampacity for the selected model.
1. Size the incoming power supply lines according to Code requirements. Run the power conductors
through the knockouts on the wall side of the unit, or to those adjacent to the electrical control box.
Use appropriate conduit and strain reliefs.
2. Connect the wires to the input side of the internal breaker or terminal block (L1 & L2 for singlephase units).
3. Install the ground wire on the ground lug.
4. For units designed for operation on 208/230v, 60Hz power supply, the transformer is factory wired
for a 230v power supply. For a 208v power supply, remove the orange lead from the transformer
and connect the red lead. Insulate the orange lead.
Dual Unit Phasing
For applications where one controller operates two units, e.g., the CommStat 3 or LL357D3.
The current model, LL357D3, does not require unit phasing. However, if other devices are connected
to the control system, phasing of the air conditioner is required. Earlier models; i.e., LL357, LL357A,
require the unit to be properly phased.
1. Wire each unit as described in steps 1 through 4 above.
2. Test for proper phasing as follows:
A. Power up the units.
B. Using an AC volt meter set to the 300 volt scale, measure voltage between terminal L1 on the
compressor contactor of unit #1 and terminal L1 on the compressor contactor of unit #2 If
voltage is present, units are wired out of phase and must be rewired.
C. If units are not in phase, turn off power and reverse the field power leads connected to the
internal circuit breaker on one of the units only.
D. Restore power and retest the phase (step B). When the voltage reads "0", the units are in
phase.
E. Turn off power and proceed.
Low Voltage Wiring
1. On single units, pull the low voltage wiring (e.g., 18 gauge 4-conductor Class 2 thermostat wire)
18
from the ComPac A/C into the thermostat / subbase assembly. See Figure 7d for connections to
various thermostats.
2. Mount the thermostat on the wall of the shelter. The thermostat should be located so that the supply
air from the unit does NOT blow directly on to the thermostat. Connect the thermostat to the terminal
block in the ComPac air conditioner as shown in Figures 7a and 7b.
3. On dual units, refer to the Marvair LL357D3 Lead/Lag Controller Specification Sheet or CommStat 3 Controller Specification sheet. Level and install the LL357D3 or CommStat 3 subbase.
Wire the two ComPac units to the Lead/Lag Controller, according to the wiring diagram on the
specification sheet and as shown in Figure 8c or 8d (note: the diagram also appears on the back
cover of the controller).
Remote Signalling: Terminals 5 & 7(N.O.) and 6 & 7 (N.C.) on the ComPac A/C terminal board are
dry contacts which can be used for remote signalling in the event of a/c cutoff on low or high pressure
limit.
Continuous fan operation: For continuous indoor fan operation on single units, install a jumper between
terminals 8 and 3. For continuous indoor fan operation on dual units using the LL357D3, install jumper
between 8 and 3 and remove jumper between 1 and 3.
CommStat 3 Controller (See Figure 7c)
The CommStat 3 Controller by Marvair is a solid state control package designed to operate a fully
or partially redundant air conditioning system for a telecommunication cabinet or shelter. The CommStat 3 Controller is factory programmed with standard industry set points to facilitate installation. If
desired, each of the set points can be quickly and easily changed in the field by the installer. It can be
used with Marvairs ComPac I or II unique vertical packaged wall mount air conditioners or Marvairs
environmental control units. See Commstat 3 Product Data Sheet for installation and programming
instructions.
LL357D3 Lead/Lag Controller (See Figure 7b)
The Marvair LL357D3 is a complete control package designed to operate a fully or partially redundant
air conditioning system. It consists of a two-stage heat and two-stage cool electronic thermostat and
a solid state timer. It can be used with either the Marvair ComPac I vertical packaged wall mount air
conditioner or our unique ComPac II air conditioner with built-in economizer. The LL357D3 provides
environmental control and the security demanded by the communication shelter industry for a backup
unit. The lead/lag controller insures equal wear on both air conditioners while allowing the lag unit
to assist upon demand. The LL357D3 is factory wired, tested, and mounted in an enclosure for quick
installation. Refer to the LL357D3 Product Data Sheet for complete installation instructions.

NOTE: Cut timer circuit wire to provide 3.5 day changeover. Timing accuracy 5%.
Momentary push button for accelerated manual timer advance. (9 seconds = 7 days)
Light emitting diode indicates power on and identifies the lead unit.
Timing logic retention for up to one hour on power loss.
Unit Shutdown/Fire Alarm Systems
Immediate shutdown of the air conditioning system can be accomplished by wiring the normally closed
set of contacts in the fire extinguishing or alarm system across terminals 8 and 10 on the low voltage
terminal board inside the air conditioner. Note: The factory jumper between these terminals must be
removed.
This function cannot be accomplished at the wall thermostat because the fan purge on the electronic
control board inside the unit allows the indoor blower to operate from 10 to 90 seconds following each
cool "on" cycle.
NOTE: The fan purge on the electronic control board allows the indoor fan to run for approximately
10 to 90 seconds after the compressor is off.

Start-Up
Important: Be sure that the crankcase heater (if used) has been energized for at least 24 hours
before starting the unit(s). Double-check all electrical connections before applying power.
Procedure:
1. Set the cooling temperature on the wall thermostat to a point higher than the ambient temperature.
Set the heating temperature to a temperature that is lower than the ambient.
2. Set the thermostat system switch in the AUTO position. Nothing should operate at this time.
3. Set the time delay in the ComPac I or ComPac II A/C control box to three minutes. Check the
changeover setting of the H205A or dry bulb sensor and reset it if needed (ComPac II A/C only).
See Section 1.6.
4. Slowly lower the thermostat's cooling temperature until the switch closes. The indoor fan should
operate.
Once the indoor fan turns on, allow approximately three minutes for the compressor to start. Note that
the outdoor fan may not come on immediately, because it is cycled by refrigerant pressures.
NOTE: (ComPac II A/C only) To check the system operation under different ambient conditions, the
air temperature and enthalpy sensors must be "tricked". When outdoor ambient conditions are higher
than the control setting, a component cooler aerosol may be sprayed directly into the enthalpy sensor
to simulate low enthalpy conditions, causing the economizer damper to open.
Alternately, when outdoor conditions are lower than the set point, a source of heat such as a hair dryer
can be directed on the air temperature sensor to simulate warmer conditions, which will bring on
mechanical cooling and start the compressor.
5. To stop cooling, slowly raise the thermostat cooling to a temperature higher than the ambient.
If the unit fails to operate, refer to the troubleshooting information in Chapter 4.
Follow the same procedure for additional units.
NOTE: The Blower Time Delay Relay (BTR) allows the indoor fan to run for approximately 90 seconds
after the compressor is off. This operation provides a small improvement in system S.E.E.R.

1. Set the cooling temperature on the wall thermostat to a point higher than the ambient temperature.
Set the heating temperature to a temperature that is lower than the ambient temperature. Turn the
selector switch to the off position.
2. Set the time delay on unit No. 1 to 3 minutes, and No. 2 to 5 minutes.
3. Set the change over setting of the enthalpy control to the d setting (ComPac II A/C only).
4. Provide power to A/C units and turn disconnects on.
5. Check incoming power to each unit. For units designed for operation on 208/230v, 60hz power
supply, the transformer is factory wired for a 230 power supply. For a 208 power supply remove
the orange lead from the transformer and connect the red lead. Insulate the orange lead.
6. Cooling. Turn the selector switch on the thermostat to the auto position. Slowly lower the cooling
temperature until the switch closes. The indoor fan should operate on the lead unit. Once the indoor
fan turns on, allow approximately 3 to 5 minutes for the compressor to start. Note that the outdoor
fan may not come on immediately because it is cycled by refrigerant pressures. Next, lower the
temperature until the switch closes. Follow the above procedures for the lag unit.
The green light on the lead lag control should be on. One amber light will be on to identify the lead
unit. The other light should be off. If the lag unit comes on with the lead unit the light for the lag
unit will not come on. You should never have all 3 lights on at one time.
Allow the units to run for 2 to 3 minutes then check the temperature differential between the return
air and the supply air with digital thermometer. The temperature differential should be between 12
and 20 degrees depending on ambient temperature.
Next, slowly raise the cooling temperature until the switch opens. The compressor and outdoor
fan should turn off. The indoor fan will continue to run for 90 seconds until the fan purge times
out. Raise the temperature until the switch opens. The lead unit will shut down accordingly to the
same procedures as outlines above.
Note: (ComPac II A/C only) To check the system operation under different ambient conditions,
the air temperature and enthalpy sensors must be tricked. When outdoor ambient conditions are
higher than the control setting, a component cooler aerosol may be sprayed directly into the enthalpy
sensor to stimulate low enthalpy conditions, causing the economizer damper to open.
Alternately, when outdoor conditions are lower than the set point, a source of heat such as a hair
dryer can be directed on the enthalpy sensor to simulate warm conditions, which will bring on
mechanical cooling and start the compressor.
7. Heating. Slowly raise the heating temperature until the switch closes. The fan and electrical heat
should immediately cycle on. The unit should start blowing warm air in 2 to 3 minutes. Next, raise
the temperature until the switch closes. Follow the above procedures for lag unit.
Hold the manual advance button in for nine seconds the lead lag lights should switch. Next, slowly
lower the temperature until the switches open. The lag unit should shut down immediately. Next,
slowly lower the temperature until the switch opens, the lead unit should shut down immediately.

Troubleshooting
Overview
A comprehensive understanding of the operation of the ComPac A/C is a prerequisite to troubleshooting. Please read the Chapter 1 for basic information about the unit.
Marvair's ComPac air conditioners are thoroughly tested before they are shipped from the factory.
Of course, it is possible that a defect may escape undetected, or damage may have occurred during
transportation. However, the great majority of problems result from installation errors.
If you experience difficulties with the ComPac A/C, please review the installation steps in Chapter
2.
Much time can be saved by taking a thoughtful and orderly approach to troubleshooting. Start with a
visual check - are there loose wires, crimped tubing, missing parts, etc? Begin deeper analysis only
after making this initial inspection.
The troubleshooting information in this manual is basic. The troubleshooting section contains problem/solution charts for general problems, followed by a compressor section.
Not every problem can be anticipated. If you discover a problem that is not covered in this manual, we
would be very grateful if you would bring it to the attention of our service department for incorporation
in future revisions.
As always, please exercise caution and good judgement when servicing the ComPac A/C. Use only safe
and proven service techniques. Use refrigeration goggles when servicing the refrigeration circuit.
WARNING
The refrigerant circuit has hot surfaces, and the electrical voltages inside of
the unit may be hazardous or lethal. SERVICE MAY BE PERFORMED ONLY BY
QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED PERSONS.

Compressor Troubleshooting
NOTE: It is important to rule out other component failures before condemning the compressor.
The following electrical tests will aid diagnosis:
1. Start-Up Voltage: Measure the voltage at the compressor terminals during start-up. The voltage
must exceed the minimum shown in Table 5, section 2.2, or compressor failure is likely. A low
voltage condition must be corrected.
2. Running Amperage: Connect a clip-on type ammeter to the (common) lead to the compressor.
Turn on the supply voltage and energize the unit. The compressor will initially draw high amperage;
it should soon drop to the RLA value or less. If the amperage stays high, check the motor winding
resistances.
26
NOTE: Feel the top of the compressor to see if it has overheated. If it is hot, the internal overload
may be open. You may have to wait several hours for it to reset.
3. Motor Winding Resistances: Using a digital volt-ohm meter (VOM), measure the resistance
across the compressor windings as shown below.
SINGLE
PHASE
C
R2
S
R1
R3
R3 > R2 > R1
R3 = R2 + R1
Resistance can be measured as shown above. Any deviation from above values could indicate a
defective compressor.
4. High Voltage/Insulation Test: Test internal leakage with a megohmeter. Attach one lead to the
compressor case on a bare metal tube and to each compressor terminal to test the motor windings.
A short circuit at high voltages indicates a motor defect. Do not do this test under vacuum.
5. On single phase models, check the capacitor by substitution.

Maintenance
6.1 Scheduled Maintenance
Marvair strongly recommends that the air conditioner be serviced a minimum of twice a year once
prior to the heating season and once prior to the cooling season. At this time the filters, evaporator coil,
condenser coil, the cabinet, and condensate drains should be serviced as described below. Also at this
time, the air conditioner should be operated in the cooling and heating cycles as described in Chapter 3,
Start-Up. In addition to this seasonal check-out, the ComPac A/C should be maintained as follows:
Air Filter
Replace the air filter whenever it is visibly dirty.
Evaporator
If the evaporator becomes clogged or dirty, it may be cleaned by careful vacuuming or with a commercial evaporator cleaning spray. DO NOT use a solvent containing bleach, acetone, or flammable
substances. Turn off power before cleaning. Be careful not to wet any of the electrical components.
Be sure the unit has dried before restarting.
Condenser
Periodically inspect the outdoor condenser coil and the cabinet air reliefs for dirt or obstructions.
Remove foreign objects such as leaves, paper, etc.
If the condenser coil is dirty, it may be washed off with a commercial solvent intended for this purpose.
TURN OFF POWER BEFORE CLEANING! Be sure that all electrical components are thoroughly
dry before restoring power.
Cabinet
The cabinet may be cleaned with a sponge and warm, soapy water or a mild detergent. Do not use
bleach, abrasive chemicals or harmful solvents.
Drains
Regularly check the two condensate drains. Check each line to insure that condensate flows freely.
If a commercial drain solvent is used, flush out the drain pan and system with plenty of fresh water to
prevent corrosion.
Lubrication
Oiling of the condenser fan motor or the evaporator blower motor is not recommended.
