CONNECTIONS FOR TESTING AND CHARGING
A. Close manifold gauge set valves and connect the center hose to a cylinder of HFC−410A. Set for liquid phase charging.
B. Connect the manifold gauge set's low pressure side to the suction line service port.
C. Connect the manifold gauge set's high pressure side to the liquid line service port.
D. Position temperature sensor on liquid line near liquid line service port.

Servicing Units Delivered Void of Charge

If the outdoor unit is void of refrigerant, clean the system
using the procedure described below.
1. Leak check system using procedure outlined on Page
12.
2. Evacuate the system using procedure outlined on
Page 13.
3. Use nitrogen to break the vacuum and install a new
filter drier in the system.
4. Evacuate the system again using procedure outlined
on Page 13.
5. Weigh in refrigerant using procedure outlined under
Start−Up and Charging Procedures.
6. Monitor the system to determine the amount of
moisture remaining in the oil. It may be necessary to
replace the filter drier several times to achieve the
required dryness level. If system dryness is not
verified, the compressor will fail in the future.
Unit Start−Up
IMPORTANT
If unit is equipped with a crankcase heater, it should be
energized 24 hours before unit start−up to prevent
compressor damage as a result of slugging.
1. Rotate fan to check for binding.

2. Inspect all factory− and field−installed wiring for loose
connections.
3. After evacuation is complete, open the liquid line and
suction line service valves to release the refrigerant
charge (contained in air conditioner) into the system.
4. Replace the stem caps and tighten to the value listed
in Table 1.
5. Check voltage supply at the disconnect switch. The
voltage must be within the range listed on the unit's
nameplate. If not, do not start the equipment until you
have consulted with the power company and the
voltage condition has been corrected.
6. Set the thermostat for a cooling demand. Turn on
power to the indoor handler and close the air
conditioner disconnect switch to start the unit.
7. Recheck voltage while the unit is running. Power must
be within range shown on the nameplate.
8. Check system for sufficient refrigerate using the
procedures that follow.

System Refrigerant

This section outlines procedures for:
1. Connecting gauge set for testing and charging;
2. Checking and adjusting indoor airflow;
3. Adding or removing refrigerant.
