Q Measured across the evaporator coil assembly, including drain pan.
R External static pressure available for the duct system -- supply and return. All blower coils have multispeed
motors, and value shown is at the recommended rated speed. Consult specification air flow charts with the
blower coil units for complete information at other speeds.
*IMPORT ANT INFORMA TION
Proper sized orifice is not factory installed in indoor section. Proper orifice size is shipped with outdoor unit
packaged with its installation instructions for indoor sections listed on this page. The orifice must be replaced
with the proper system orifice shown above in T able 2.
For other evaporator coil models not listed, see indoor coil installation instructions for proper orifice information.
These instructions explain the recommended method to
install the air cooled remote type condensing unit, the
interconnecting refrigerant tubing and the electrical wiring
connections to the unit.
The condensing units are to be used in conjunction with the
matching evaporator coils or evaporator blower units for
comfort cooling applications as shown in the specification
sheet.
These instructions and any instructions packaged with any
separate equipment required to make up the entire air
conditioning system should be carefully read before
beginning the installation. Note particularly “Starting
Procedure” and any tags and/or labels attached to the
equipment.
SHIPPING DAMAGE
Upon receipt of equipment, the carton should be checked for
external signs of shipping damage. If damage is found, the
receiving part must contact the last carrier immediately,
preferably in writing, requesting inspection by the carrier’s
agent.
APPLICATION
LOCATION
The condensing unit is designed to be located outside with
free and unobstructed condenser air inlet and discharge. It
must also permit access for service and installation.
Condenser air enters the coil from the rear of the unit as
shown in Figure 2 with electrical service access.
MOUNTING UNIT OUTSIDE ON SLAB
A solid level base or platform, capable to support the unit’s
weight, must be set at the outdoor unit predetermined
location. The base should be at least two inches larger than
the base dimensions of the unit and at least two inches
higher than surrounding grade level. The required unit
minimum installed clearances must be maintained as called
out in Figure 2 when locating and setting the base.
Remove the unit from its shipping carton and position the
unit on the prepared base or platform.
NOTE: These units employ internally sprung
compressors; therefore, it is not necessary to
remove or loosen the base mounting bolts on the
compressor prior to operation.
Consideration should be given to the electrical and tubing
connections when placing the unit to avoid unnecessary
bends or length of material.
Size of unit for a proposed installation should be based on
heat loss calculation and air duct sizing made according to
methods of Air Conditioning Contractors of America. The
air duct should be installed in accordance with the Standards
of the National Fire Protection Association for the
Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems of
Other Than Residence Type, NFPA 90A, and Residence
Type Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Systems,
NFPA 90B. Where local regulations are at a variance with
instructions, installer should adhere to local codes.

IMPORTANT INSTALLER NOTE
For improved start up performance, wash the indoor coil

INSTALLATION REFRIGERANT TUBING
The information that follows on installing refrigerant tubing
and for changing the system orifice (if required) covers
applications listed in the front of this installation instruction
only. Although other indoor units may be of similar
construction, the installation instructions for these units
should be consulted for proper installation of those units
prior to installation.
This information is provided for the field service personnel
to install refrigerant tubing in compliance with Section 608
of Title VI National Recycling and Emission Reduction
Program for the U.S. Clean Air Act effective July 1, 1992.
Consult manual 2100-002 on procedure for leak test –
evacuation – charging before installation refrigerant tubing
that requires any refrigerant recovery or system evacuation.
Manual 2100-002 is included with the unit installation
instruction package when shipped from the factory.

SWEAT STYLE TUBING CONNECTIONS: SWEAT
INDOOR UNIT and SWEAT OUTDOOR UNIT
Use only refrigeration grade (dehydrated and sealed) copper
tubing. Care must be taken to insure that the tubing is kept
clean and dry before and during installation. Do not remove
the plugs from the tubing ends, coil connections or base
valves until the connection is ready to be brazed.
The suction line must be insulated with a minimum of 3/8”
Armaflex or equivalent before cutting and making
connections.
1. Being careful not to kink, route both the suction line
and liquid line between the indoor unit and outdoor
unit. Use a tubing bender to make any necessary bends
in tubing. When necessary to bend the insulated tube
suction line, cut the insulation around its circumference
at a distance far enough beyond the point of the bend so
as to clear the tubing bender. Slip the insulation back
together and vapor seal the joint with tape. Coil any
excess tubing in a horizontal place with the slope of the
tubing toward the condensing unit. See Figure 3.
CAUTION
1. Be careful not to tear the insulation when
pushing it through hole in masonry or frame
walls. 2. When sealing the tube opening in
house wall, use a soft material to prevent tube
damage and vibration transmission. 3. Avoid
excessive bending in any one place to avoid
kinking.
2. The tubing ends should be cut square. Make sure it is
round and free of burrs at the connecting ends. Clean
the tubing to prevent contaminants from entering the
system.
CAUTION
Be sure there is no dirt introduced into the flow
control - orifice assembly . Be sure to install the
orifice with the bullet nose pointing in the proper
direction as shown in Figure 4. Failure to do so
will result in improper operation.

6. Thread assembly halves together by hand to insure
proper mating of threads and tighten until bodies
“bottom” or a definite resistance is felt.
7. Using a marker pen or ink pen, mark a line lengthwise
from the union nut to the bulkhead. Then tighten an
additional 1/6 turn (or 1 hex flat). The misalignment of
the line will show the amount the assembly has been
tightened. This final 1/6 turn is necessary to insure the
formation of the leakproof joint.
8. Wrap a wet rag around the copper stub before brazing.
9. Flux the copper tube and insert into the stub. Braze the
joint using an alloy of silver or copper and phosphorus
with a melting temperature above 1,100° F for copper
to copper joints. The phosphorus will act as a flux,
therefore, no flux will be required.
Manual 2100-346
Page 5
A copper-silver alloy with a high silver content should
be used when iron or steel material is involved in the
joint. These alloys require the use of silver solder flux.
Alloys containing phosphorus should not be used with
iron or steel. Phosphorus reacts with the iron forming
iron phosphate which is extremely brittle.
FIELD FABRICATED TUBING CONNECTIONS:
QUICK CONNECT INDOOR UNIT and SWEAT
OUTDOOR UNIT USING CTO KIT
Use only refrigeration grade (dehydrated and sealed) copper
tubing. Care must be taken to insure that the tubing is kept
clean and dry before and during installation. Do not remove
the plugs from the tubing ends, coil connections or base
valves until the connection is ready to be brazed.
CAUTION
1. Brazing alloys with a melting temperature
below 700° F should not be used. 2. Leadtin or tin-antimony solders should not be used
due to their low melting point and necessity for
corrosive fluxes.
To further prevent the formation of copper oxide inside
the tubing, dry nitrogen may be purged through the
refrigerant system during brazing.
WARNING
Never purge or pressurize a system with
oxygen. An explosion and fire will result.
10. After brazing, quench with wet rag to cool the joint and
remove any flux residue.
11. Leak test all connections using an electronic leak
detector or a halide torch.
The suction line must be insulated with a minimum of 3/8”
Armaflex or equivalent before cutting and making

13. Open both the suction and liquid base valves to the
fully open position. Refer to section later in installation
instructions for details on setting proper system charge.
