11 Scholar V VAIVA Maintenance & Service Manual 10/2017 Rev.2
In cold weather the pressure in the refrigerant system is low prior to operation. When
the Scholar V unit starts in the heat pump mode during cold weather, low pressure
could cause the system to lock out. To prevent nuisance lockouts, the Scholar V unit
will not shut off if the Low Pressure Switch (LPS) comes on during a user adjustable
time frame (60 seconds by default) and the switch has not cycled more than three
times in an hour. In other words, by default the compressor will start and operate for
60 seconds even with the LPS switch open three times before causing a lockout on
low pressure. A user login is required to change the default setting.
The high pressure switch opens at 650 psig and close at 420 psig. The low pressure
switch opens at 40 psig and closes at 60 psig. After a time delay, both switches will
automatically reset twice. The unit will enter lockout mode if a switch is triggered a
third time.
The high and low pressure switches can be reset at the HMI or by turning power off
and then on to the Scholar V unit. The HMI will display a fault message to indicate a
Low or High Pressure Lock Out.
G. Metering Devices. The Scholar V uses an electronic expansion valve (EEV) on the
indoor (cooling) circuit and a xed orice on each evaporator coil.Refer to photos on
pages 26 and 51.
H. Reversing Valve. The reversing valve reverses the refrigerant’s direction of ow in
a heat pump, allowing the heat pump to switch from cooling to heating or heating to
cooling.
I. Exhaust Air Ventilation Blower is used to exhaust classroom in the GreenWheel®
ERV and Power Vent ventilation options. The blower can exhaust up to 450 CFM of
air from the classroom. In the standard conguration, both the exhaust and the intake
ventilation blowers are controlled by a single speed controller. This speed controller
permits the motor speed to be adjusted for the correct cfm of ventilation air. As an
option, a second motor controller may be factory installed to allow independent
control of the intake and exhaust air blowers. This allows pressurization of the
classroom. All ventilation options have an intake air blower.
J. Intake Ventilation Air Blower is used to introduce outside air into the classroom.
In the standard conguration, both the exhaust (GreenWheel ERV and PowerVent
only) and the intake ventilation blowers are controlled by a single speed controller.
This speed controller permits the motor speed to be adjusted for the correct cfm
of ventilation air. As an option, a second motor controller may be factory installed
to allow independent control of the intake and exhaust air blowers. This allows
pressurization of the classroom.
K. Electric Resistance Heat is installed above the indoor blower outlet. Electric heat
is eld installed on all Scholar V units. Electric heat can be used with the freeblow
plenum or with optional ducted air distribution options. The heaters are available in
nominal kW of 5, 7.5, 10 & 15 kW for operation on 208/230v. 1Ø, 208/230 v. 3Ø, and
460v, 3Ø. The model number of the heat pump or air conditioner indicates the power
supply and kW.
