Service Literature
The XC16 is a high efficiency residential split−system con-
densing unit, which features a two speed scroll compressor
and R−410A refrigerant. XC16 units are available in 2, 3, 4
and 5 tons. XC16 units are rated for 230 volts only. Applica-
tions where supply voltage is less requires a hard start kit.
The series is designed for use with an expansion valve (ap-
proved for use with R−410A) in the indoor unit. This manual
is divided into sections which discuss the major compo-
nents, refrigerant system, charging procedure, mainte-
nance and operation sequence.
Information contained in this manual is intended for use by
qualified service technicians only. All specifications are sub-
ject to change.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause property damage, person-
al injury or loss of life. Installation and service must
be performed by a qualified installer or service
agency.
WARNING
Warranty will be voided if covered equipment is re-
moved from original installation site. Warranty will
not cover damage or defect resulting from:
Flood, wind, lightning, or installation and operation
in a corrosive atmosphere (chlorine, fluorine, salt,
recycled waste water, urine, fertilizers, or other dam-
aging chemicals).
DANGER
Shock Hazard
Remove all power at disconnect
before removing access panel.
Single phase XC16 units use single-
pole contactors. Potential
exists for electrical shock resulting
in injury or death.
Line voltage exist at all components
(even when unit is not in operation).

XC16 SERIES UNITS
Operating pressures of this R−410A unit are higher
than pressures in R−22 units. Always use service
equipment rated for R410A.
