Adjustment of Refrigerant Charge:

CAUTION:
Split system air conditioner equipment
contains liquid and gaseous refrigerant
under pressure. Adjustment of
refrigerant charge should only be
attempted by qualified, trained
personnel thoroughly familiar with the
equipment. Under no circumstances
should the homeowner attempt to
install and/or service this equipment.
Failure to comply with this warning
could result in equipment damage,
personal injury, or death.

Recommended Troubleshooting Action
Determine if both R and C module terminals are
connected. Verify voltage is present at module's R and
C terminals. Review 24VAC Power Wiring (page 4) for
R and C wiring.
Determine if R and Y terminals are wired in reverse.
Verify module's R and C terminals have a constant
source. Review 24VAC Power Wiring (page 4) for R
and C wiring.
Verify Y terminal is connected to 24VAC at contactor
coil. Verify voltage at contactor coil falls below 0.5VAC
when off.
Verify R and C terminals are supplied with 19-28VAC.
Verify Y terminal is connected to 24VAC at contactor coil.
Verify voltage at contactor coil falls below 0.5VAC when
off.
Check that compressor run and start wires are through
module's current sensing holes. Verify Y terminal is
connected to 24VAC at contactor coil. Verify voltage at
contactor coil falls below 0.5VAC when off.
Check that compressor run and start wires are routed
Determine if module's Y terminal is connected. Verify Y
terminal is connected to 24VAC at contactor coil. Verify
24VAC is present across Y and C when thermostat demand
signal is present. If not, R and C are reverse wired. V erify
voltage at contactor coil falls below 0.5VAC when off.

NOTE: The following Refrigerant Charging
Charts are applicable to matched assemblies
of our equipment and at listed airfl ows for the
indoor coil. These units are matched with TXV
equipped indoor coils. Assemblies of indoor coils
and outdoor units not listed are not recommended
and deviations from rated airfl ows or non-listed
equipment combinations may require modifi ca-
tions to the expansion device(s) and refrigerant
charging procedures for proper and effi cient
system operation.
