SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing and servicing air conditioning equipment can be
hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components.
Only trained and qualified service personnel should install or
Service air conditioning equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance, such
as cleaning and replacing filters. All other operations should be
performed by trained service personnel. When working on air
conditioning equipment, observe safety precautions in litera-
ture, tags, and labels attached to unit.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work
gloves. Use quenching cloth for brazing operations. Have fire
extinguisher available. Read these instructions thoroughly.
Consult local building codes and the National Electrical Code
(NEC) for special installation requirements.
Before installing or servicing system, always turn off main
power to system. There may be more than one disconnect
switch. Turn off accessory heater power if applicable. Elec-
trical shock can cause serious personal injury.
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.

Ducted Condensing Units
Puron® (R-410A) refrigerant systems operate at higher
pressures than standard R-22 systems. Do not use R-22 ser-
vice equipment or components on Puron refrigerant equip-
ment. If service equipment is not rated for Puron refrigerant,
equipment damage or personal injury may result.

INSTALLATION

Step 1 — Complete Pre-Installation Checks
UNPACK UNIT (See Fig. 1) — Move the unit to final loca-
tion. Remove unit from carton, being careful not to damage
Service Valves and grilles.
Fig. 1 — 38HDF,HDR Unit
INSPECT SHIPMENT — File a claim with the shipping
company if shipment is damaged or incomplete. Check unit
nameplate to ensure unit matches job requirements.
CONSIDER SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS — Consult local
building codes and NEC for special installation requirements.
Allow sufficient space for airflow clearance, wiring, refrig-
erant piping, and servicing unit. See Fig. 2.
Locate unit so that condenser airflow is unrestricted on both
sides. Refer to Fig. 2.
Unit may be mounted on a level pad directly on base legs or
mounted on raised pads at support points. See Fig. 2 for center
of gravity.
MATCHING THE CONDENSING UNIT TO AN
INDOOR UNIT — The 38HDF,HDR units can be matched to
a corresponding indoor unit. The 38HDF018-036 units can be
matched with an in-ceiling cassette or high wall indoor unit.
The 38HDR unit can be matched with under-ceiling and resi-
dential fan coils. Refer to separate indoor unit literature for
more information.

    START-UP Preliminary Checks 1. Check that all internal wiring connections are tight and that all barriers, covers, and panels are in place. 2. Field electrical power source must agree with unit name- plate rating. 3. All service valves must be open. 4.
  • Page 12 To troubleshoot: 1. Apply voltmeter across crankcase heater leads to see if heater voltage is on. Do not touch heater. Carefully feel area around crankcase heater; if warm, crankcase heater is functioning. 2. With power off and heater leads disconnected, check across leads with ohmmeter.
