SERVICE
The HS26 is a high efficiency residential split−system con
densing unit which features a scroll compressor. Early
model HS26 units (−261,−311,−411, and −461) are available
in sizes ranging from 2 through 3−1/2 tons. Late model
HS26 units (−018, −024, −030, −036, −042, −048 and −060)
are available in sizes ranging from 1−1/2 through 5 tons.
The series is designed for use with an expansion valve in
the indoor unit.This manual is divided into sections which
discuss the major components, refrigerant system, charg
ing procedure, maintenance and operation sequence. In
formation in this manual covers both early and late model
HS26 units.
All specifications in this manual are subject to change.
