R-410a CONDENSING UNITS
INSTALLATION GUIDE
ATTENTION, INSTALLER!
After installing the system, show the user how to turn off
electricity to the unit. Point out control and switch locations
for turning off electricity. Make sure the user understands
the importance of following all safety precautions, including
what could happen if they don’t.
Keep the following documents in a safe, accessible location.
Tell the user where these documents are located:
• Installer’s Information Manual
• Parts List
• Warranty Information
While these instructions have been written as accurately
and thoroughly as possible, they may not cover every
system variation or contingency. Questions of interpretation
may arise. For more information, solutions to particular
problems or clarication, contact your local distributor or the
manufacturer.
ATTENTION, USER!
Your equipment installer should give you the important
documents listed above. You should become familiar
with these instructions, as it will be helpful in avoiding any
needless service costs or operational problems. Keep
these instructions as long as you keep your equipment for
future reference. If any of the documents are missing or
illegible, contact your installer or equipment manufacturer
for replacement.
Throughout this manual, when we use the word “you” we
refer to the qualied service technician who is responsible
for application, installation, and service of your equipment.
While these instructions are addressed primarily to the
installer, useful maintenance information is included. Have
your installer acquaint you with the operating maintenance
requirements.
WARNING: Individuals who install this equipment, must have the training and experience necessary
to install comfort air conditioning appliances. Before performing any work on this equipment, the power supply
must be turned off at the household service box. Improper installation could void the warranty; create a hazard,

SECTION 1. GENERAL INFORMATION
These instructions cover the installation of the following
split system 13+ SEER condensing unit. The dimensions
are illustrated in Figure 1. Physical and electrical
specications are provided in Table 2.
Read this manual and any instructions packaged with
separate equipment required to make up the system prior
to installation.
The outside unit is designed to be placed alongside or at the
back of the home, remote from the indoor coil. The outdoor
unit has been factory run-tested and all components of the
system are ready for easy, immediate installation.
A through inspection of the shipping container should be
made immediately upon receiving your unit. Look for any
punctures or openings, and if it appears that damage has
occurred, it should be noted on the freight bill before signing.
The delivering carrier should be contacted immediately to
inspect damage, and no installation work should begin until
this inspection is completed. The manufacturer assumes
no responsibility for installation of incorrectly shipped units.
To alert you to potential hazards, we use the signal words
“WARNING” and “CAUTION” throughout this manual.
“WARNING” alerts you to situations that could cause or
result in serious injury or death. “CAUTION” alerts you to
situations that could cause or result in minor or moderate
injury or property damage. For a safe and reliable
installation be sure to read and follow all warnings and
cautions.
We also use the words “must” and “should” in this manual.
“Must” is mandatory. “Should” is advisory.
WARNING: These instructions
are intended as an aid to licensed service
personnel. Improper installation may
damage equipment, void the warranty,
and can create a hazard, resulting in
injury or death.
WARNING: The manufacturer is not
responsible for the performance of a mismatched
system. The outdoor unit must be installed with
a compatible indoor unit as designated in the
specication data or in the Directory of Certied
Unitary Air Conditioners published by the Air
Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute. Using
unmatched components may not only affect the
performance of the system but may also void the
warranty of the equipment.

SECTION 2. MEETING CODES
Before installing this equipment, make sure you know
all applicable codes. Installation shall be made in
accordance with the applicable National Electric Code,
local codes and recommendations made by the National
Board of Fire Underwriters, or authorities having
jurisdiction.
Electrical wiring must conform with local building codes
or in the absence of local codes, with the current National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and/or current Canadian
Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
WARNING: The United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) has issued various regulations
regarding the introduction and disposal of refrigerants in this unit.
Failure to follow these regulations may harm the environment
and can lead to the imposition of substantial nes. Because
regulations may vary due to passage of new laws, we suggest a
certied technician perform any work done on this unit. Should
you have any questions please contact the local ofce of the
EPA.
SECTION 3. DETERMINING CONDENSER
LOCATION
Several important factors must be considered before
selecting the site for the outdoor unit:
• Distance to indoor coil
• Ability to service
• Proximity to the structure
• Proximity to vents and exhaust systems
• Air circulation
• Sound transmission
• Wind direction
• Relationship between structure, sun, and unit
• Distance from power source
• Water drainage
• Local codes
Locating the condenser as close as possible to the evaporator
will avoid lengthy refrigeration line runs and will increase
the system capacities. Do not locate the outdoor unit so it
discharges air under eaves or gutters. Rain or snow melt-off
should not be able to run off a roof and down upon the unit.
Be sure vents are not located upwind from the outdoor unit.
Installer’s Information Manual
Page 3
A minimum clearance of 18” is required for service at
the control panel access. A 12” clearance is required
for the air inlet to the outdoor coil around the perimeter
of the unit. The air discharge of the unit requires a 60”
clearance between the top of the unit and any obstruction.
See Pictorial below.
The length of the refrigerant tubing, between the outdoor
unit and indoor coil, should be as short as possible to
avoid capacity and efciency loss. Excessive spacing of
the outdoor unit from the home can lead to the refrigerant
lines being restricted by trampling or by being punctured
by lawn mowers. Locate the outdoor unit away from
bedroom windows or other rooms where sound might
not be desirable.
Provide sufcient clearance from shrubs to allow adequate
air to pass across the outdoor coil without leaves or branches
being pulled into the coil.
Consideration should be given to the distance and routing of
electrical service that would have to be run to connect the
outdoor unit.
The outdoor unit may be installed at ground level on a solid
base that will not shift or settle, causing strain on the refrigerant
lines and possible leaks. Isolate the base from the structure
to avoid noise or vibration transmission. When installing
units on a roof, a structure should be used to minimize the
transmission of sound or vibration into the conditioned space.
Thought should be give to water drainage away from the
outdoor unit. Drain holes in the base pan must be kept clear.
SECTION 4. REFRIGERANT PIPING
CONNECTIONS
Undersized line sets will increase the refrigerant pressure
drop between the indoor evaporator and outdoor unit,
resulting in a decrease in system capacity. Over sizing
the line sets may result in excessive refrigerant charge,
thereby making the system more susceptible to liquid
migration. Slope horizontal vapor lines at least 1” every
20 feet toward the outdoor unit to facilitate proper oil
return.
Use only refrigerant grade (dehydrated and sealed)
copper tubing of the size indicated in Table 1 to
interconnect the condensing unit with the indoor
evaporator. Take extreme care to keep refrigerant
tubing clean and dry prior to and during installation.
All outdoor unit and evaporator coil connections are copper to
copper and should be brazed with a copper alloy material such
as Silfos-5 or equivalent instead of soft solder. The outdoor
units have re-usable service valves on both the liquid and
vapor connections. Precautions should be taken to prevent
heat damage to the valve by wrapping a wet rag around it
when brazing. Do not remove plugs from ends of tubing
until connection is ready to be made. Suction line insulation
is necessary to prevent condensation from forming on and
dropping from suction line. Apply suction line insulation by
sliding it on the sealed tubing before cutting and making
connections. See Table 1 for correct vapor line size.
