ALL phases of this installation must comply with NATIONAL, STATE AND LOCAL CODES
IMPORTANT - This Document is customer property and is to remain with this unit. Please return to service informa-
tion pack upon completion of work.
These instructions do not cover all variations in systems or provide for every possible contingency to be met in connection with
the installation. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the
purchaser's purposes, the matter should be referred to your installing dealer or local distributor.
Note: The manufacturer recommends installing only approved matched indoor and outdoor systems. All of the manufacture's split
systems are AHRI rated only with TXV/EEV indoor systems. Some of the benefits of installing approved matched indoor and out-
door split systems are maximum efficiency, optimum performance and the best overall system reliability.

    2.4 Cold Climate Considerations NOTE: It is recommended that these precautions be taken for units being installed in areas where snow accumula- tion and prolonged below freezing temperatures occur. • Units should be elevated 3-12 inches above the pad or roof top, depending on local weather. This additional height will allow drainage of snow and ice melted during defrost cycle prior to its refreezing.

    Section 7. Refrigerant Line Brazing 7.1 Braze The Refrigerant Lines STEP 1 - Remove caps or plugs. Use a deburing tool to debur the pipe ends. Clean both internal and external surfaces of the tubing using an emery cloth. STEP 2 - Remove the pressure tap cap and valve cores from both service valves. STEP 3 - Purge the refrigerant lines and indoor coil with dry nitrogen.
  • Page 9: Section 9. Evacuation

    Section 9. Evacuation 9.1 Evacuate the Refrigerant Lines and Indoor Coil Important: Do not open the service valves until the refrigerant lines and indoor coil leak check and evacuation are complete. STEP 1 - Evacuate until the micron gauge reads no higher than 350 microns, then close off the valve to the vacuum pump.

    11.3 Defrost Control - 036 Model ONLY Defrost controls have a selectable termination temperature. As shipped, defrost will terminate at 47°F. For a higher termination temperature, cut Jumper J2 to achieve 70°F when at or below 30°F ambient. See Service Facts shipped in the outdoor unit for more information.

    12.2 High Voltage Disconnect Switch Install a separate disconnect switch at the outdoor unit. For high voltage connections, flexible electrical conduit is recommended whenever vibration transmission may create a noise problem within the structure. 12.3 High Voltage Ground Ground the outdoor unit per national, state, and local code requirements.

At startup, or whenever charge is removed or added, the system must be operated for a minimum of 20 minutes to stabilize before accurate measurements can be made.
  • Page 15 STEP 7 - Stabilize the system. 1. Wait 20 minutes for the system condition to stabilize between adjustments. Note: When the Liquid Line Temperature and Gage Pressure approximately match the chart, the system is properly charged. 2. Remove gages. 3. Replace service port caps to prevent leaks.

    Section 16. Defrost Control Defrost Control The demand defrost control measures heat pump out- door ambient temperature with a sensor located outside the outdoor coil. A second sensor located on the outdoor coil is used to measure the coil temperature. The dif- ference between the ambient and the colder coil tem- perature is the difference or delta-T measurement.
