START-UP

Before starting unit, check the following and correct as necessary:
• Is unit solidly supported?
• Is fan adjusted for speed and pulley alignment?
• Are pulleys, motor, and bearings securely mounted?
• Are there any loose parts that will rattle or vibrate?
• Is condensate drain pan pitched for correct drainage?
• Are coil baffle plates tight against coil to prevent air
bypass?
• Are all panels securely fastened?
• Are all electrical connections correct and tight?

40RFA and 40RFQ ONLY

• Is TXV bulb located on suction tube per Fig. 19?
• Is the capillary tube to the bulb free of kinks and not
subject to pinching?
• Is the bulb well secured to the suction tube with strap?
Also refer to condensing unit or outdoor heat pump section in-
structions before starting a split system. A split system start-up

The sensor bulb capillary tubes must be routed from the TXVs inside the unit through one of the piping
access holes. Clamp the TXV sensor bulb on a vertical portion of the suction line, outside the unit.
Super heat must be adjusted in field.
Les tubes capillaires du capteur doivent être acheminé à partir du détendeur thermostatique situé à l'intérieur
de l'appareil au travers de l'un des trous d'accès de conduites. Attacher le capteur sur une portion verticale
de la conduite de succion, à l'extérieur de l'appareil. La surchauffe doit être ajustée sur place.

Adjusting TXV for Superheat 

(40RFA and 40RFQ only)

The unit-mounted thermostatic expansion valve(s) is/are factory
set to provided superheat at the bulb location in 10°F to 15°F
(5.5°C to 8.3°C) range. Actual system load conditions may require
adjustment of the factory setting. (See Fig. 20.)
To adjust the TXV superheat setting:
1. Remove the seal cap from the bottom of the TXV body.
2. To increase superheat, turn the stem clockwise. To decrease
the superheat, turn the stem counterclockwise. Do not turn the
stem more than one full turn.
3. Wait until suction pressure and superheat stabilize. This may
take more than 30 minutes.

TXV superheat must be checked at initial
unit start-up and adjusted if necessary.
Superheat must be 10 - 15 deg F.
La surchauffe TXV doit être vérifiée au
moment de la mise en route initiale et
ajustée si nécessaire. La surchauffe doit
être comprise entre 10 et 15 degrés F.

Inspection and maintenance should be performed at regular inter-
vals and should include the following:
• Complete cleaning of cabinet, fan wheel, cooling coil, con-
densate pan and drain, heating coils, and return-air grille
(if present).
• Inspection of panels and sealing of unit against air leakage.
• Cleaning or replacement of filters.
• Testing for cooling/heating system leaks.
• Checking of all electrical connections.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or
death.
Before performing service or maintenance operations on unit,
always turn off main power switch to unit and install lockout
tag. Unit may have more than one power switch.
Most unit service can be performed by removing one or both of
the unit's side panels. Coil cleaning, removal or insulation clean-
ing may require removal of a rear, top, or bottom panel, depending
on the unit's orientation. When service is completed, replace unit

panels.

Panels
Panels are fastened to unit frame with sheet metal screws. Fan and
coil compartment must be sealed tightly after service to prevent air
from bypassing the cooling coil.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal inju-
ry or death.
Before performing service or maintenance operations on
unit, LOCKOUT/TAG-OUT the main power switch to unit.
Electrical shock and rotating equipment could cause severe
