3.0 UNIT INSTALLATION 3.1 LOCATION Before starting the installation, select and check the suitability of the location for both the indoor and outdoor unit. Observe all limitations and clearance requirements. The outdoor unit must have sufficient clearance for air entrance to the condenser coil, for air discharge and for service access.
The outdoor unit must be connected to the indoor coil using field supplied refrigerant grade copper tubing that is internally clean and dry. Units should be installed only with the tubing sizes for approved system combinations. The refrigerant charge shown in the nameplate is for standard size interconnecting liquid line lengths up to 15 feet.
3.6 FACTORY-PREFERRED TIE-DOWN METHOD Step 1: Prior to installing clear pad of debris. IMPORTANT The pad must meet local codes and must be the proper thickness to accommodate fasteners. Step 2: Center and level unit onto pad. Step 3: Using field supplied L-shaped bracket to locate holes on concrete and drill pilot holes which is at least 1/4”...
3.7 PRECAUTIONS DURING LINE INSTALLATION 1. Install the lines with as few bends as possible. Care must be taken not to damage the couplings or kink the tubing. Use clean hard drawn copper tubing where no appreciable amount of bending around obstruction is necessary, if soft copper must be used, care must be taken to avoid sharp bends which may cause a restriction.
WEATHERPROOF DISCONNECT POWER SWITCH SUPPLY INDOOR BLOWER COIL Seal opening(s) with permagum or equivalent NOTE:All outdoor wiring must be weather proof Fig.7 Typical Installation 3.8 PRECAUTIONS DURING BRAZING OF LINES All outdoor unit and evaporator coil connections are copper-to-copper and should be brazed with a phosphorous-copper alloy material such as Silfos-5 or equivalent.

Connect the refrigerant lines using the following procedure: 1. Remove the cap and Schrader core from both the liquid and suction service valve service ports at the outdoor unit. Connect Iow pressure nitrogen to the liquid line service port. service valve wet rag Fig.8 Heat Protection 2.
10. Replace cap on service ports. Do not remove the flare caps from the service ports except when necessary for servicing the system. 11. Release the refrigerant charge into the system. Open both the liquid and suction valves by removing the plunger cap and with an hex wrench back out counter -clockwise until valve stem just touches the chamfered retaining wall.

6.0 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 6.1 GENERAL INFORMATION & GROUNDING Check the electrical supply to be sure that it meets the values specified on the unit nameplate and wiring label. Power wiring, control (Iow voltage) wiring, disconnect switches and over current protection must be supplied by the installer. Wire size should be sized per requirements.
6.3 REMOVING THE TOP PANEL AND MOTOR 1/2” nut NOTE: 5/16” nuts Damage will occur to condenser unit if you remove fan nuts prior to cover removal. Fig.10 COVER AND FAN When motor requires changing follow the steps below: Step 1: Go into electrical panel, disconnect motor power lines. IMPORTANT NOTE Disconnect main power to unit.
5. Compare the measured LIQUID LINE PRESSURE to the TARGET LIQUID PRESSURE, add charge to raise the pressure or recover charge to lower it. 6. After running unit for 20 minutes if the SUCTION LINE PRESSURE changes, go back to step 2 otherwise remove test equipment and cover the valves. 7.2 CHARGING BY WEIGHT For a new installation,evacuation of interconnecting tubing and indoor coil is adequate;...
