LINE SET IMPORTANT — Refrigerant lines must not contact structure. INSTALLATION REFRIGERANT LINE SET — INSTALLING Line Set Isolation — The following illustrations are VERTICAL RUNS (NEW CONSTRUCTION SHOWN) examples of proper refrigerant line set isolation: NOTE — Insulate liquid line when it is routed through areas where the surrounding ambient temperature could become higher than the REFRIGERANT LINE SET —...
It is recommended that vertical suction risers not be up- Refrigeration Piping sized. Proper oil return to the compressor should be maintained with suction gas velocity. • Use only refrigerant grade copper tubes. Filter Drier • Split systems may be installed with up to 50 feet of The filter drier is very important for proper system operation line set (no more than 20 feet vertical) without special and reliability.

Refrigerant Piping - Install Indoor Expansion Valve This outdoor unit is designed for use in systems that include an expansion valve metering device (purchased separately) at the indoor coil. See the Product Specifications for approved expansion valve kit match-ups and application information. The check expansion valve unit can be installed internal or external to the indoor coil.

WRAP SERVICE VALVES To help protect service valve seals during brazing, wrap water-saturated cloths around service valve bodies and copper tube stubs. Use additional water-saturated cloths underneath the valve body to protect the base paint. FLOW NITROGEN Flow regulated nitrogen (at 1 to 2 psig) through the refrigeration gauge set into the valve stem port connection on the liquid service valve and out of the vapor valve stem port.

Leak Test and Evacuation LEAK TEST HIGH MANIFOLD GAUGE SET OUTDOOR UNIT TO VAPOR SERVICE VALVE NOTE - Position canister to deliver liquid refrigerant. NITROGEN HFC-410A CONNECT GAUGE SET A - Connect the high pressure hose of an HFC-410A manifold gauge set to the vapor valve service port. NOTE - Normally, the high pressure hose is connected to the liquid line port.

Ground unit at unit disconnect switch or to an earth Electrical Wiring ground. To facilitate conduit, a hole is in the bottom of the control box. Connect conduit to the control box All field wiring must be done in accordance with the National using a proper conduit fitting.
Refrigerant Charging Sequence of Operation CAUTION NOTE: The thermostat used may be electromechanical or electronic. Excessive amounts of liquid refrigerant entering the suction line can damage the compressor. When adding NOTE: Transformer in indoor unit supplies power (24 VAC) refrigerant, precautions must be taken to control the to the thermostat and outdoor unit controls.
• For systems below 60°F – charge in heating mode using the subcooling method and table provided on the unit access panel. Attach low pressure gauge hose to auxiliary service port to access suction side in heating mode. Remove two NOTE: All unit table values are based on 70 to 80°F screws at top indoor return air temperature for cooling mode, and 65°F...

WARNING To prevent personal injury, or damage to panels, unit or structure, be sure to observe the following: While installing or servicing this unit, carefully stow all removed panels out of the way, so that the panels will not cause injury to personnel, nor cause damage to objects or structures nearby, nor will the panels be subjected to damage (e.g., being bent or scratched).
Servicing Units Void of Charge System Refrigerant If the outdoor unit is void of refrigerant, clean the system This section outlines procedures for: using the procedure described below.

Adding or Removing Refrigerant This system uses HFC-410A refrigerant which operates at much higher pressures than HCFC-22. The pre-installed liquid line filter drier is approved for use with HFC-410A only. Do not replace it with components designed for use with HCFC-22. This unit is NOT approved for use with coils which use capillary tubes or fixed orifices as a refrigerant metering device.
Page 29
AIRFLOW CHECK - Both airflow and refrigerant charge must be monitored for proper system set-up. It may be necessary to alternately check and adjust the airflow and the refrigerant charge. NOTE: Be sure that filters and indoor and outdoor coils are clean before testing. To determine temperature drop across indoor coil (Delta-T), measure the entering air dry bulb (DB) and wet bulb (WB) temperatures at the indoor coil.

AIR CONDITIONING CHARGING PROCEDURE 1. CHARGE THE SYSTEM BY WEIGHT, IN OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 65º Outdoor units are factory charged with R410A for 15 ft. Of line set. Add or remove 0.6oz. For every foot of line set different than 15 ft. Final charge adjustment must be made per item (2) below, once the outdoor temperature rises above 65ºF.
