1.0 SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE INTENDED AS AN AID TO QUALIFIED LICENSED SERVICE PERSONNEL FOR PROPER INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT AND OPERATION OF THIS UNIT. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION OR OPERATION. FAILURE TO FOL- LOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN IMPROPER INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT, SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE POSSIBLY RESULTING IN FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
2.0 GENERAL WARNING The information contained in this manual has been prepared to assist in the proper THE MANUFACTURER’S WAR- installation, operation and maintenance of the air conditioning system. Improper RANTY DOES NOT COVER ANY installation, or installation not made in accordance with these instructions, can result DAMAGE OR DEFECT TO THE in unsatisfactory operation and/or dangerous conditions, and can cause the related AIR CONDITIONER CAUSED BY...

WARNING DISCONNECT POWER UNIT BEFORE STARTING MAINTENANCE. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK RESULTING IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. • Frequent washing of the cabinet, fan blade and coil with fresh water will remove most of the salt or other contaminants that build up on the unit. •...
3.7 UNIT MOUNTING If elevating the condensing unit, either on a flat roof or on a slab, observe the following guidelines. • The base pan provided elevates the condenser coil 3/4” above the base pad. • If elevating a unit on a flat roof, use 4” x 4” (or equivalent) stringers positioned to distribute unit weight evenly and prevent noise and vibration.

up to 800 psig high-side and 250 psig low-side with a 550 psig low-side retard. Hoses need to have a service pressure rating of 800 psig. Recovery cylinders need to have a 400 psig service pressure rating. DOT 4BA400 or DOT BW400. Combustibility: At pressures above 1 atmosphere, mixture of R-410A and air can become combustible.
CAUTION When coil is installed over a finished ceiling and/or living area, it is recommended that a secondary sheet metal condensate pan be constructed and installed under entire unit. Failure to do so can result in property damage. 8.0 REPLACEMENT UNITS To prevent failure of a new condensing unit, the existing evaporator tubing system must be correctly sized and cleaned or replaced.
• If a portion of the liquid line passes through a hot area where liquid refrigerant can be heated to form vapor, insulating the liquid line is required. • Use clean, dehydrated, sealed refrigeration grade tubing. • Always keep tubing sealed until tubing is in place and connections are to be made.

• Clean the fittings before brazing. • Remove the cap and schrader core from service port to protect seals from heat damage. • Use an appropriate heatsink material around the copper stub and the service valves before applying heat. • IMPORTANT: Do not braze any fitting with the TEV sensing bulb attached.
Air conditioning systems require a specified airflow. Each ton of cooling requires between 350 and 450 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM), or 400 CFM nominally. Duct design and construction should be carefully done. System performance can be lowered dramatically through bad planning or workmanship. Air supply diffusers must be selected and located carefully.
If the refrigerant lines utilize extended lengths, add 4 psi to the liquid pressure val- ues shown in the chart. Remove refrigerant charge if the refrigerant liquid pressure is above the cor- rected chart value. Add refrigerant charge if the liquid pressure is below the corrected chart value. 13.2 CHARGING BY WEIGHT For a new installation, evacuation of interconnecting tubing and evaporator coil is adequate;...
14.3 CONTROL WIRING (See Figure 3) If the low voltage control wiring is run in conduit with the power supply, Class I insu- lation is required. Class II insulation is required if run separate. Low voltage wiring may be run through the insulated bushing provided in the 7/8 hole in the base panel, up to and attached to the pigtails from the bottom of the control box.
FIGURE 3 CONTROL WIRING FOR GAS OR ELECTRIC HEAT FOR TYPICAL GAS OR OIL HEAT FOR TYPICAL ELECTRIC HEAT 15.3 LOW AMBIENT CONTROL (LAC) This component senses compressor head pressure and shuts the heat pump fan off when the head pressure drops to approximately 220 PSIG [1516.8 kPa]. This allows the unit to build a sufficient head pressure at lower ambient in order to main- tain system balance and obtain improved capacity.
17.0 TROUBLE SHOOTING In diagnosing common faults in the air conditioning system, it is useful to present the logical pattern of thought that is used by experienced technicians. The charts which follow are not intended to be an answer to all problems, but only to guide your thinking as you attempt to decide on your course of action.
