INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR CASED/UNCASED COILS FOR GAS FURNACES: (-)CFY: Featuring Industry-Standard R-454B Refrigerant WARNING These instructions are intended as an aid to qualified licensed service personnel for proper installation, adjustment and operation of this unit. Read these instructions thoroughly before attempting installation or operation.
R-454B BEST PRACTICES • R-410A systems SHOULD NOT be retrofitted with R-454B. Reference Section 1.0 for more information. • Only use indoor coils approved for use on R-454B systems. An R-410A or R-22 coil has not been evaluated for use with R-454B and may lack a refrigerant detection system necessary for safe operation of the system.

2.0. GENERAL INFORMATION WARNING: Improper installation, or installation not made in accordance with these instructions, can result in unsatisfactory operation and/or dangerous conditions and can cause the related warranty not to apply. 2.1 INTRODUCTION The information contained in this manual has been prepared to assist in the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of the air conditioning system.
IMPORTANT: Excessive use of elbows in the refrigerant line set can produce excessive pressure drop. Follow industry best practices for installa- tion. Installation and commissioning of this equipment is to be performed by trained and qualified HVAC professionals. For technical assistance, contact your Distributor Service Coordinator.

3.0 INSTALLATION 3.1 APPLICATIONS (-)CFY cased coils can be applied in upflow, downflow, horizontal right and horizontal left applications without modifications. (-)CFY uncased coils can only be applied in upflow and downflow applications as received (see Table 2 and Figure 3 and 4). For horizontal applications of uncased replacement coils, installation of a horizontal drip shield and water management parts from old coil is required or an RXHH Horizontal Adapter Kit may be used.

3.2 REFRIGERANT CONNECTIONS Keep the coil connections sealed until refrigerant connections are to be made. See the Installation Instructions for the outdoor unit for details on line sizing, tubing installation, and charging information. Coil is shipped with a low pressure (5 - 10 PSIG) charge of dry nitrogen. Evacuate the system before charging with refrigerant.
5 minutes after RDS has reset. RDS resets after it no longer detects refrigerant. Life expectancy of the RDS is 15 years and should be replaced at the end of life. Contact Rheem Parts Department for RDS replacement.

WARNINGS: Failure to install the refrigerant detection system properly may result in leak detection failure and risk potential fire hazards. IMPORTANT: The installation process for the RDS varies depending on the flow configuration of the unit. It is crucial to adhere to the following instructions. The RDS is initially configured for upflow and downflow installation during man- ufacturing and can be adjusted fo r horizontal flow configurations.

Secure the RDS to the primary bracket using the screw provided in the parts bag (Part Number: 63 24368 01) and the screw removed in the previous step, following the hole positions shown in the below illustration. Fasten the primary bracket to the flange using the screw removed in Step 1, as shown in the below illustration. III.
3.3.1 Installation in an Unventilated Area If the installation room areas are not compliant with the outdoor room area val- ues. Appliance shall not be installed in an area where there are potential ignition sources or a continuous open flame unless there is a flame arrest installed on flame-producing appliance.
3.5 ELECTRONIC EXPANSION VALVE (EXV) EXV equipped coils have a noncommunicating, stand-alone EXV control. One of the biggest advantages of an EXV is the control can intelligently regulate the refrigerant flow based on system demands other than just vapor line tempera- ture and pressure.

3.9 EXV STEP DIP SWITCH (EXV COILS ONLY USING RXCF-AM1) DIP switch 1 (SS) on the EXV control is factory set for a 500 step EXV (OFF position), but can be switched to the ON position for a 1600 step EXV. This DIP switch must be in the 500 step position only.
3.12 EXV CONTROL MOUNTING LOCATIONS The EXV control and housing can be mounted on either side of the coil casing. The wires will need to be routed through the hole on the appropiate side and then the assembly mounted externally to the side of the coil case.

3.14 CONDENSATE DRAIN TUBING Consult local codes or ordinances for specific requirements. IMPORTANT: When making drain fitting connections to the drain pan, use a thin layer of Teflon paste, silicone or Teflon tape and install hand tight. IMPORTANT: When making drain fitting connections to drain pan, do not overtighten.
3.15 DUCT FLANGES Field-installed duct flanges (4 pieces) are shipped with units. Install duct flanges as need- ed on top or bottom of the coil casing. (See Figure 17.) 3.16 COIL END SHIELDS All uncased replacement coils will need RXCE**** sheet metal shields at the front and rear of the coil.
tubes which can cause refrigerant leaks. Therefore, use only clean warm water for cleaning aluminum tube evaporator coils. Do not use caustic household drain cleaners or bleach in the condensate pan or near the indoor coil as they will damage the aluminum fins and tubes. 4.3 GENERAL GUIDELINES Prior to beginning work on systems containing A2L REFRIGERANTS, safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimized.
until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If the fault cannot be corrected immediate- ly but it is necessary to continue operation, an adequate temporary solution shall be used. This shall be reported to the owner of the equipment so all par- ties are advised.
containing chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipe-work. If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/extinguished. If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be recovered from the system, or isolated (by means of shut off valves) in a part of the system remote from the leak.
to be used are designated for the recovered refrigerant and labeled for that refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure-relief valve and associated shut-off valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if possible, cooled before recovery occurs.
