About these guidelines
The purpose of these guidelines is to provide guidance in the application of Copeland scroll
compressors and Emerson control drives
They are intended to answer the
questions raised while designing, assembling and operating a system with these products.
Besides the support they provide, the instructions listed herein are also critical f or the proper and
safe functioning of the compressors and drives. The performance and reliability of the products may
be impacted if they are not used according to these guidelines or are misused.
These application guidelines cover stationary applications only. For mobile applications, please
