INSTALLATION
Specifications for this unit in residential new construction market
require the outdoor unit, indoor unit (including metering device),
refrigerant tubing sets, and filter drier, and muffler listed in pre- -sale
literature. There can be no deviation. Consult the Service Manual –
Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps Using Puron Refrigerant to
obtain required unit changes for specific applications and for R- -22
retrofit.
Step 1 — Check Equipment and Job Site
Unpack Unit
Move to final location. Remove carton taking care not to damage
unit.
This unit employs one louver spacer on each of the four sides to
prevent louver movement during operation. The louver spacers are
trapped between the coil surface and louver at the approximate
center of each side (See Fig. 2). This louver spacer should be
present and, if dislodged during shipment, must be reinstalled
before unit is placed into operation.

Inspect Equipment
File claim with shipping company prior to installation if shipment
is damaged or incomplete. Locate unit rating plate on unit corner
panel. It contains information needed to properly install unit.
Check rating plate to be sure unit matches job specifications.
Step 2 — Install on a Solid, Level Mounting Pad
If conditions or local codes require the unit be attached to pad, tie
down bolts should be used and fastened through knockouts
provided in unit base pan. Refer to unit mounting pattern in Fig. 3
to determine base pan size and knockout hole location.
For hurricane tie downs, contact distributor for details and PE
(Professional Engineer) Certification, if required.
On rooftop applications, mount on level platform or frame. Place
unit above a load- -bearing wall and isolate unit and tubing set from
structure. Arrange supporting members to adequately support unit
and minimize transmission of vibration to building. Consult local
codes governing rooftop applications.
Roof mounted units exposed to winds above 5 mph may require
wind baffles. Consult the Service Manual - - Residential Split
System Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps Using Puron
Refrigerant for wind baffle construction.
NOTE: Unit must be level to within 2 (3/8 in./ft,9.5 mm/m.)
per compressor manufacturer specifications.
Step 3 — Clearance Requirements
When installing, allow sufficient space for airflow clearance,
wiring, refrigerant piping, and service. Allow 24 in. (609.6 mm)
clearance to service end of unit and 48 in. (1219.2 mm) (above
unit. For proper airflow, a 6- -in. (152.4 mm) clearance on 1 side of
unit and 12- -in. (304.8 mm) on all remaining sides must be
maintained. Maintain a distance of 24 in. (609.6 mm) between
units. Position so water, snow, or ice from roof or eaves cannot fall
directly on unit.
On rooftop applications, locate unit at least 6 in. (152.4 mm) above
roof surface.
3/8--- in. (9.53 mm) Dia.

Step 4 — Operating Ambient
The minimum outdoor operating ambient in cooling mode is 55_F
(12.78_C) without low ambient cooling enabled, and the
maximum outdoor operating ambient in cooling mode is 125_F
(51.67_C).
The maximum heating operation ambient is 66_F
(18.9_C). Compressor protections prevent operation below - -10 to
- -20_F.
