air conditioner (figure 1-2), are
automatically opened and closed by the
action of the refrigerant system.
The
condenser louvers cannot be manually
opened and closed.
i.
Compressor Circuit Breaker.
The
compressor circult breaker is a safety
device which provides overcurrent
protection for the compressor.
The
compressor circuit breaker is not a con-
trol switch to be used for operating the
unit.
This breaker should always be
kept in the ON position.
If the breaker
trips to the OFF position, a defective
compressor or related defective elec-
trical components, or faulty wiring, is
indicated.
Inadequate input power
voltage will also cause the circuit
breaker to trip.
The unit control cir-
cuit is also connected to auxiliary
contacts on the compressor circuit
breaker.
When this circuit breaker
trips to OFF, it disconnects the control
circuit allowing the time delay relay to
reset and the refrigerant system pres-
sures to equalize.
Manually resetting
the compressor circuit breaker to ON re-
stores electrical continuity.
j.
Control Circuit Breaker.
The
control circuit breaker iS a safety de-
vice which provides overcurrent protec-
tion for the control circuit of the
unit.
The control circuit breaker is
not a control switch to be used for op-
erating the unit.
This breaker should
always be maintained in the ON position.
If the breaker trips to the OFF posi-
tion, an electrical defect in the con-
trol circuit is indicated and corrective
action should be taken.
Manually reset-
ting the circuit breaker to ON restores
electrical continuity.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES
2-3.
General.
To insure that the air conditioner is
ready for operation at all times, it
must be inspected systematically so that
defects may be discovered and corrected
before they result in serious damage or
failure.
The necessary preventive main-
tenance checks and services (PMCS) to be
performed are listed and described in
paragraph 2-4.
The item numbers indi-
cate the sequence of minimum inspection
requirements.
a.
Before you operate.
Always keep
in mind the CAUTIONS and WARNINGS.
Per-
form your before (B) PMCS.
b.
While you operate.
Always keep
in mind the CAUTIONS and WARNINGS.
Per-
form your during (D) PMCS.
After you operate.
Be sure to
perfrm your after (A) PMCS.
d.
If your equipment fails to oper-
ate
Troubleshoot with proper equip-
ment.
Report any deficiencies using the
proper forms, see TM 38-750.
Defects discovered during operation
of the unit will be noted for future
correction to be made as soon as opera-
tion of the unit has ceased.
Stop oper-
ation immediately if during operation a
deficiency is noted which would damage
the equipment if operation were contin-
ued.
All deficiencies and shortcomings
will be recorded, together with the
corrective action taken, on DA Form
2404
