MAKE REFRIGERANT TUBING CONNECTIONS
Outdoor units may be connected to indoor section using accessory
tubing package or field supplied refrigerant- -grade tubing of correct
size and condition. For tubing requirements beyond 80 ft (24.38
m), consult Residential Split System Long- -Line Application
Guideline. Connect tubing to fittings on outdoor unit vapor and
liquid service lines. (See Table 1.)
If refrigerant tubes or the indoor coil are exposed to atmospheric
conditions for longer than 5 minutes they must be evacuated to 500
microns to eliminate contamination and moisture in system.

and Vapor Tube Diameters (in.)

Note:
1. Tube diameters are for lengths up to 80 ft (24.38 m) horizontal ro 20 ft
(6.10 m) vertical differential. For tubing lengths greater than 80 ft,
(24.38 m) consult the Residential Split System Long---Line Guideline.
Maximum liquid line size is 3/8 in. including long---line applications.
2. Do not apply capillary ---tube indoor coils to these units.
OUTDOOR UNIT CONNECTED TO FACTORY
APPROVED INDOOR UNIT
Outdoor unit contains correct system refrigerant charge for
operation with indoor unit of same size when connected by 15 ft
(4.57 m) of field supplied or factory accessory tubing. Check
refrigerant charge for maximum efficiency.
SWEAT CONNECTION
CAUTION
!
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit component
damage.
Service valves must be wrapped while brazing in a heat
sink material, such as a wet cloth.
Use refrigerant grade tubing. Service valves are closed from factory
and ready for brazing. After wrapping service valve with a wet
cloth, tubing set can be brazed to service valve using industry
accepted methods and materials. Consult local code requirements.
Refrigerant tubing and indoor coil are now ready for leak testing.
This check should include all field and factory joints.

WARNING
!
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.
Do not supply power to unit with compressor terminal box
cover removed.
Be sure field wiring complies with local and national fire, safety,
and electrical codes, and voltage to system is within limits shown

on unit rating plate. Contact local power company for correction of
improper voltage. See unit rating plate for recommended circuit
protection device.
NOTE: Operation of unit on improper line voltage constitutes
abuse and could affect unit reliability. See unit rating plate. Do not
install unit in system where voltage or phase imbalance (3 phase)
may fluctuate above or below permissible limits.
NOTE: Use copper wire only between disconnect switch and unit.
NOTE: Install branch circuit disconnect of adequate size per NEC
to handle unit starting current. Locate disconnect within sight from
and readily accessible from unit, per Section 440- -14 of NEC.
ROUTE GROUND AND POWER WIRES
Remove access panel to gain access to unit wiring. Extend wires
from disconnect through power wiring hole provided and into unit
control box.
WARNING
!
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.
The unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted or unbroken
ground. The ground may consist of electrical wire or metal
conduit when installed in accordance with existing electrical
codes.
CONNECT GROUND AND POWER WIRES
Connect ground wire to ground connection in control box for
safety. Connect power wiring to contactor as shown in Fig. 4

CONNECT CONTROL WIRING
Route 24v control wires through control wiring grommet and
connect leads to control wiring. (See Fig. 5.)
Use No. 18 AWG color coded, insulated (35_C minimum) wire. If
thermostat is located more than 100 ft from unit, as measured along
the control voltage wires, use No. 16 AWG color coded wire to
avoid excessive voltage drop.
Use furnace transformer, fan coil transformer, or accessory
transformer for control power, 24v/40va minimum.
NOTE:
Use of available 24v accessories may exceed the
minimum 40va power requirement. Determine total transformer
loading and increase the transformer capacity or split the load with
an accessory transformer as required.
