Installation and Maintenance Manual 7222094: 11/2013
Lifting
Whenever a condensing unit is lifted, it should be from the base and, where possible, with
all packing and protection in position. If slings are used care should be taken to ensure
that the slings do not crush the casework or coil. The slings are to be located into the
recess within the unit frame to ensure safe lifting.
Due note should also be made of the fact that the compressor is at one end of the unit,
and therefore the centre of gravity will also be towards that end.
If the unit is dropped, it should immediately be checked for damage.
Employ lifting specialists
Local codes and regulations relating to the lifting of this type of equipment should
be observed
Use the appropriate spreader bars/lifting slings with the holes/lugs provided
Chains/slings MUST NOT interfere with the casing of fan assembly to avoid damage
Lift the unit slowly and evenly
IMPORTANT
If the unit is dropped, it should immediately be checked for damage and reported
to Airedale.
CAUTION
Only use lifting points provided.
Ensure drip tray is removed before lifting (Heat Pump units only)

Positioning
The installation position should be selected with the following points in mind:
Position on a stable and even base, levelled to ensure that the compressor
operates correctly.
Levelling should be to +/- 5mm.
Where vibration transmission to the building structure is possible, fit pad anti-
vibration mounts.
Observe airflow and maintenance clearances.
Pipework and electrical connections are readily accessible.
Where multiple units are installed, due care should be taken to avoid the
discharge air from each unit adversely affecting other units in the vicinity.
Within a side enclosed installation, the fan MUST be higher than the
enclosing structure.
Ensure there are no obstructions directly above the fans.
Allow free space above the fans to prevent air recirculation.
CAUTION
Prior to connecting services, ensure that the equipment is installed and
completely level.

Refrigeration Information
Pipework Installation
General
Special consideration should be given to vertical pipe runs and heat pump installation.
When insulating refrigerant lines, cut approximately 30 - 50cm longer than the distance
between the units to ensure the insulation goes right up to the unit. Leave connections
uncovered for leak testing.
Remove burrs to the ends of the copper tube, holding the tube downward to avoid
allowing dirt to contaminate the tube.
The installation of a sight glass close to the indoor unit is recommended.
Pressure Testing
When installation is complete, the system should be pressure tested.
Fill the system with dry nitrogen to a pressure of between 17 bar/250psig and 34bar/
500 psig.
NOTE: The LP switch must be disconnected for pressures above 17bar/250 psig.
Record the pressure over a minimum of 60 minutes to detect major leaks (a 24 hour
period should preferably be allowed).
If a reduction in pressure is detected, trace the leak and repair before conducting a further
pressure test and charging.
Evacuation
Evacuation for systems operating with R410A refrigerant to be carried out as follows.
Use a high vacuum pump and connect to the high and low pressure sides of the system
via a gauge manifold fitted with compound gauges. A high vacuum gauge should be fitted
to the system at the furthest point from the vacuum pump.
Triple evacuation should be used to ensure that all contaminants are removed.
Operate the vacuum pump until a pressure of 1.5 torr (200 Pa) absolute pressure is
reached, then stop the vacuum pump to break the vacuum using Nitrogen (Oxygen free)
until the pressure rises above zero.
The above operation should be repeated a second time.
The system should then be evacuated a third time but this time to 0.5 torr absolute
pressure.
Break with the correct refrigerant, until pressures equalise between the charging bottle
and the system.
IMPORTANT
Ensure all valves within the system are open during pressure testing / evacuation.

Refrigeration Pipework Installation - Good Practices
Oil Traps
For long vertical rises in both suction and discharge lines, it is essential that oil traps are
located every 4m to ensure proper oil movement / entrapment. In addition there should
be an oil trap at the exit of the air handling unit before a vertical riser is applied (refer to
example below).
Pipe Supports
The following table identifies the maximum
distance between pipe supports on vertical
and horizontal pipe runs.
Pipe O/D (inches)
Support distance (m)
3/8 - 7/8
1.0
1 1/8 - 2 1/8
2.0
CAUTION
All pipework should be clamped prior to insulation being applied (Suction Line).
Clamping over insulation is not acceptable.
Horizontal Sections
It is good practice to ensure a slight gradient toward the compressor in the direction of
the refrigerant flow for suction lines running horizontal. This assists oil return to the
compressor. A gradient of approximately 1:200 (0.5%) shall be used.
Condensing Unit Above Air Handling Unit
Condensing Unit Below Air Handling Unit
- - - - -Suction Line ……….. Liquid
Note the diagram above is for illustration only.
IMPORTANT
The pipe sizes and refrigerant charges quoted are for guidance only. It is the responsibility of the installing
contractor/site engineer to check the pipe size/refrigerant charge is correct for each system installation
and application.
Split systems may require additional oil which should be added to the low pressure side of each compressor.
Design should be in accordance with accepted refrigeration practice to ensure good oil return to the
compressor(s) under all normal operating conditions.
REMEMBER excessive pressure loss in interconnecting pipework will impair system performance; this should
be factored in during the design of the system and where necessary oil traps employed.
Traps are required every
4m of vertical rise.

7/8 (1) For interconnecting pipework with a predominantly horizontal layout.
(2) For interconnecting pipework with a predominantly vertical layout.
(3) Careful pipework selection must be done if the liquid line rises. Additional system sub cooling may be required to overcome friction losses.
All pipe sizes have been calculated based on a nominal condition 7°C evaporating and 50°C condensing
Suction and discharge double risers may be required for modulating capacity units at part load.

GENERAL
The following commissioning information is based on a complete matched Airedale
system using R410A refrigerant.
Pre-Start Checks
Once the whole system has been installed it is most important that the following pre-start
checks are made:-
GENERAL
1 The unit condition is satisfactory.
2 All pipework is complete and insulated where necessary.
Electrical
1 All electrical connections (both mains and control) are properly terminated.
2 The power supply is of the correct voltage and frequency.
3 External fuses/circuit breakers are of the correct rating.
4 The units are properly earthed in accordance with current regulations.
5 All pipework is earth bonded as required.
6 Check that there is a supply to the crankcase heater (if fitted) and ensure this is
switched on for a minimum of 8 hours prior to the unit operation.
Refrigeration
1 The unit condition is satisfactory.
2 All pipework is complete and insulated where necessary.
3 All fans are able to rotate freely.
4 The system has been evacuated correctly.
5 Check the operation of the high and low pressure switch settings. These should be
as follows:-
HIGH PRESSURE SWITCH - 40.25 Bar CUT OUT
LOW PRESSURE SWITCH - 0.5 Bar - CUT OUT
2.5 Bar - CUT IN
6 The low pressure switch is automatically reset. The high pressure switch must be
reset by either switching the unit off/on at the isolator, or de-energising the
compressor signal from the indoor unit.
Fan Speed / head
pressure control
The head pressure control, allows control to be achieved in ambients down to -20°C.
Defrost Control
Defrost is controlled by software (user defined) via a coil temperature sensor.

Control Circuit Checks
Please refer to the Airedale matched indoor unit manual for further details.
Cooling Only & Heat Pump
1. Disconnect the compressor power wiring from the compressor contactor. Switch
on mains power.
2. Check status of the Alarm output on the microprocessor, refer to information
provided with unit.
3. Select Cooling mode on the indoor unit and check for continuity between the
cooling signal on the microprocessor.
4. The compressor contactor should pull in.
5. De-select Cooling mode on the indoor unit and check for no continuity between
the cooling signal on the microprocessor.
6. The compressor should switch off.
Heat Pump Units
Follow steps 1-6 above and then check heating operation as described below:
1. Select heating mode on the indoor unit and check for continuity between the
heating signal and the microprocessor.
2. Check status of the microprocessor; refer to information provided with unit.
3. The compressor contactor should pull in.
4. The compressor should switch on. The reversing valve should activate changing
the unit from cooling to heating mode. Refrigerant may travel to different parts of
the system (it may produce a whoosh noise when this occurs; this is normal)
when the valve is activated.
5. De-select heating mode on the indoor unit and check for no continuity between
the heating signal and the microprocessor. (the reversing valve will again
change positions)
6. The compressor contactor should drop out.
7. Switch off mains power and reconnect compressor power wiring.

Refrigerant Charging
The following information is based on a complete Airedale matched system and indicates
the approximate amount of refrigerant charge required. It is also assumed that the system
has been designed within operating parameters and to good refrigeration practice.
NOTE: It is important that the system is charged with the correct amount of
refrigerant. Remember, a seriously over or undercharged system may lead to major
component failure.
The final refrigerant charge level should be set by the design evaporating and condensing
pressures, together with a full or nearly full sight glass.
The suction and discharge pressures should be constantly monitored whilst charging is
in progress.
NOTE:- The sight glass level must be checked in the COOLING MODE ONLY.
Adding Oil
The initial oil charge in the compressor is suitable for pipe runs up to 20m
(equivalent length).
For longer pipe runs add 26 g of oil for every ADDITIONAL 0.45 kg of refrigerant added
up to the maximum permissible equivalent pipe runs stated. Please consult Airedale for
further details.

SYSTEM READINGS
NOTE :- The sight glass should only be used as an assistance to charging as the
charge level showing in the glass will vary according to different operating
conditions. This is especially noticeable with the heat pump units where the
system may appear to be undercharged in the heating mode.
Evaporating temperature (suction gauge) should read approximately 2°C. to 3°C. with a
room (return air temperature) of approximately 22 °C.
Condensing temperature (as read on the discharge gauge) should be in the region of 45
to 46 °C. with an external ambient temperature of 30°C (Condensing is normally 15 °C.
above ambient).
Running Checks
Once the system has been charged, the following running checks should be carried out:-
Check the operation of the fan speed controller by observing an increase in fan speed if
the outdoor coil is temporarily partially blocked.
If the system is a heat pump option, check that the reversing valve switches over from
cooling to heating and vice-versa.
NOTE: Head pressure control also operates in heating mode by slowing down the
outdoor unit fan as the system pressure rises. This can be checked by partially
blocking the inlet grilles of the indoor unit and observing the outdoor unit fan
slowing down.
IMPORTANT
FINALLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY - Fill in the commissioning sheet and return a
copy to the factory to ensure that the warranty on the unit will be valid.
