Labels,Tags,Precautions-- Whenworking
withthisequipment, follow allprecautions i nthe
literature, on tags,andon labelsprovided with
theequipment. Read andthoroughly u nderstand
theinstructions provided w iththeequipment prior
to performing the installation andoperational
checkout o f theequipment.
Brazing
Operations--Installation of equipment
may require brazing operations. Safety codes
must be complied with. Safety equipment (e.g.;
safety glasses, work gloves, fire extinguisher,
etc.) must be used when performing brazing
operations.
WARNING:
Ensure all electrical power to the unit
is off prior to installing or servicing
the equipment. Failure to do so may
cause personal injury or death.
3. SITE PREPARATION
Unpacking Equipment -- Remove the card-
board carton and User's Manual from the
equipment. Take care not to damage the tubing
connections when removing the carton.
inspect for Damage -- inspect the equipment
for damage prior to installing the equipment at
the job site. Ensure coil fins are straight and, if
necessary, comb fins to remove flattened and
bent fins.
Preferred Location of the Outdoor Unit at the
Job Site -- Conduct a survey of the job site to
determine the optimum location for mounting
the outdoor unit. Overhead obstructions, poorly
ventilated areas, and areas subject to accumula-
tion of debris should be avoided. The outdoor
unit should be installed no closer than 18 inches
from the outside walls of the facility and in an
area free from overhead obstructions to ensure
unrestricted airflow through the outdoor unit.
Facility Prerequisites -- Electrical power
must be supplied to the equipment. Electrical
power supplied must be adequate for proper
operation of the equipment. The system must
be wired and provided with circuit protection in
accordance with local building codes and the
National Electrical Code.
4. INSTALLING THE OUTDOOR UNIT
Slab Mount--The site selected for a slab mount
installation requires a stable foundation and one
not subject to erosion. The slab should be level
and anchored (if necessary) prior to placing the
equipment on the slab.
Cantilever Mount --The cantilever mount
should be designed with adequate safety factor
to support the weight of the equipment, and for
loads subjected to the mount during operation.
Installed equipment should be adequately se-
cured to the cantilever mount and levelled prior
to operation of the equipment.
5. INSTALLING THE INDOOR UNIT
The indoor section should be installed before
proceeding with routing of refrigerant piping.
Consult the installation instructions of the indoor
unit (i.e.: air handler, furnace, etc.) for details
regarding installation.

CONNECTING REFRIGERANT
TUBING BETWEEN THE
INDOOR AND OUTDOOR UNIT
CAUTION:
This system utilizes R-410A refrigerant
with POE oil. When servicing, cover
or seal openings to minimize the
exposure of the refrigerant system
to air to prevent accumulation of
moisture and other contaminants.
General- Once outdoor and indoor unit place-
ment has been determined, route refrigerant
tubing between the equipment in accordance with
sound installation practices. Refrigerant tubing
should be routed in a manner that minimizes the
length of tubing and the number of bends in the
tubing. Refrigerant tubing should be supported
in a manner that the tubing will not vibrate or
abrade during system operation. Tubing should
be kept clean of foreign debris during installa-
tion and installation of a liquid line filter drier
is recommended if cleanliness or adequacy of
system evacuation is unknown or compromised.
Every effort should be made by the installer to
ensure that the field installed refrigerant con-
taining components of the system have been
installed in accordance with these instructions
and sound installation practices so as to insure
reliable system operation and longevity.
