OUTDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION Ground Pad or Wall Hangers Installation 1. Determine proper location for outdoor unit. 2. Follow all instructions provided by manufacturer for installing wall hangers or ground pad. 3. Verify the wall hangers or ground pad can safely support the weight of the outdoor unit. 4.
PIPING INSTALLATION Refrigerant Piping Drill Hole in Wall If indoor unit refrigerant piping is going to exit from the rear: 1. It is recommended that the refrigerant pipe flare connectors extend through the wall to the outside. In some situations field-fabricated piping extensions will be required to extend the indoor unit refrigerant flare connections to the outside of the wall.

Remove the service panel on right side of the outdoor unit. 2. Insert interconnecting wires and main power wires through the wire holes on conduit mounting bracket.
TESTING AND INSPECTION Leaking Test 1. Connect regulated nitrogen to manifold. Attach hose to service port. 2. Open manifold valve to add nitrogen to a pressure of 500 lbs. 3. Maintain applied pressure for 30 minutes, leak-test flare fittings with soap bubbles. If no leak is detected, release nitrogen.
Page 22
TESTING AND INSPECTION Vacuum Procedure (con’t) 7. Confirm that manifold valves are closed and disconnect the vacuum pump. 8. Open the service valves to the fully ‘back-seat’ position to let the refrigerant flow to the indoor unit and balance the pressure in system. Important: Do not allow air to enter the connection pipe when removing the hose.

TESTING AND INSPECTION Outdoor Oil Return Bend Oil return bend When the outdoor unit is more than 30 feet above the indoor unit, an oil return bend must be added for every 20 feet of connection pipe. Indoor Oil return bend Condensate Drain Pipe Testing Carefully and slowly add 8-10 ounces of water to the indoor unit drain pan.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM CAUSE/SOLUTION System does not restart. Cause: The system has a built-in three-minute delay to prevent short and/or rapid cycling of the compressor.
