COMPLETE REFRIGERANT PIPING CONNECTIONS
Outdoor units may be connected to indoor units using
field−supplied tubing of refrigerant grade and condition. See
Product Data for correct line sizes. Do not use less than 10 ft (3.05
m) of interconnecting tubing.
!
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
If any section of pipe is buried, there must be a 6 in. (152.4
mm) vertical rise to the valve connections on the outdoor
unit. If more than the recommended length is buried,
refrigerant may migrate to cooler, buried section during
extended periods of system shutdown. This causes refrigerant
slugging and could possibly damage the compressor at
start−up.
When more than 80 ft (24.4 m) of interconnecting tubing and more
than 20 ft (6.1 m) of vertical lift is used, consult the residential
Long Line Application Guide for required accessories. If either
refrigerant tubing or indoor coil is exposed to the atmosphere, the
system must be evacuated following good refrigeration practices.
Run refrigerant tubes as directly as possible, avoiding unnecessary
turns and bends. Suspend refrigerant tubes so they do not damage
insulation on vapor tube and do not transmit vibration to structure.
Also, when passing refrigerant tubes through a wall, seal the
opening so that vibration is not transmitted to structure. Leave
some slack in refrigerant tubes between structure and outdoor unit
to absorb vibration. Refer to separate indoor unit installation
instructions for additional information.
Filter Drier
Refer to Fig. 3 and install filter drier as follows:
1. Braze 5 in. (127 mm) liquid tube to the indoor coil.
2. Wrap filter drier with damp cloth.
3. Braze filter drier to 5 in. (127 mm) long liquid tube from
step 1.
4. Connect and braze liquid refrigerant tube to the filter drier.

or death.
Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, main
electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF position.
There may be more than 1 disconnect switch. Lock out and
tag switch with a suitable warning label.
High−Pressure Relief Valve
The high−pressure relief valve is located in the compressor. The
relief valve opens at a pressure differential of approximately 550 to
625 ± 50 psig between suction (low side) and discharge (high side)
to allow pressure equalization.
Internal Current and Temperature Sensitive Overload
The control resets automatically when internal compressor motor
temperature drops to a safe level (overloads may require up to 45
minutes to reset). When an internal overload is suspected of being
open, check by using an ohmmeter or continuity tester.
Pumpdown Procedure
The system may be pumped down in order to make repairs on the
low side without losing complete refrigerant charge.
!
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
Never open system to atmosphere while it is under a vacuum.
When system must be opened for service, recover refrigerant, break
vacuum with dry nitrogen before opening system.

!
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
The unit coils hold only the factorydesignated amount of
refrigerant. Additional refrigerant may cause units to relieve
pressure through the compressor internal pressure relief
valve (indicated by a sudden rise of suction pressure) before
suction pressure reaches 20 psig. If this occurs, shut off unit
immediately then front−seat the suction valve and remove
and recover excess refrigerant following accepted practices
3. Start unit and run until suction pressure reaches 20 psig.
4. Shut unit off and front−seat suction valve.
5. De−pressurize low side of unit and recover refrigerant following accepted practices.
Crankcase Heater
The crankcase heater prevents refrigerant migration and
compressor oil dilution during shutdown when compressor is not
operating. If the crankcase heater is de−energized for more than 6
hours, both compressor service valves must be closed.
NOTE: Addition of an accessory crankcase heater is required for
long line and low ambient colling applications. Refer to the
Residential Long Line Guideline.
The crankcase heater is powered by the high−voltage power of the
unit. It is connected across the line side of the contactor and is
thermostatically controlled.
!
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.
Use extreme caution when troubleshooting this device as
line voltage is continually present.
To troubleshoot:
1. Apply voltmeter across crankcase heater leads to see if heater voltage is on. Do not touch heater. Carefully feel area
around crankcase heater; if warm, crankcase heater is functioning.
2. With power off and heater leads disconnected, check across
leads with ohmmeter. Do not look for a specific resistance
reading. Check for resistance or an open circuit, and change
heater if an open circuit is detected.
Service Valves
The service valves in the outdoor unit come from the factory
front−seated. This means the refrigerant charge is isolated from the
line−set connection ports. To prevent damage to the valve, use a
wet cloth or other accepted heat sink material on the valve before
brazing.
The service valve cannot be field repaired, therefore, only a
complete valve or valve stem seal and service port caps are
available for replacement.

CHECK CHARGE
Charging method is shown on information plate inside unit. To
properly check or adjust charge, conditions must be favorable for
subcooling charging. Favorable conditions exist when the outdoor
temperature is between 70°F and 100°F (21.11°C and 37.78°C),
and the indoor temperature is between 70°F and 80°F (21.11°C
and 26.67°C). Follow the procedure below:
Unit is factory charged for 15ft (4.57 m) of lineset. Adjust charge
by adding or removing 0.6 oz/ft (.018 kg/m) of 3/8 liquid line
above or below 15ft (4.57 m) respectively.
For standard refrigerant line lengths (80 ft/24.38 m or less), allow
system to operate in cooling mode at least 15 minutes. If conditions
are favorable, check system charge by subcooling method. If any
adjustment is necessary, adjust charge slowly and allow system to
operate for 15 minutes to stabilize before declaring a properly
charged system.
If the indoor temperature is above 80°F (26.67°C), and the outdoor
temperature is in the favorable range, adjust system charge by
weight based on line length and allow the indoor temperature to
drop to 80°F (26.67°C) before attempting to check system charge
by subcooling method as described above.
If the indoor temperature is below 70°F (21.11°C), or the outdoor
temperature is not in the favorable range, adjust charge for line set
length above or below 15ft (4.57 m) only. Charge level should then
be appropriate for the system to achieve rated capacity. The charge
level could then be checked at another time when the both indoor
and outdoor temperatures are in a more favorable range.
NOTE: If line length is beyond 80 ft (24.38 m) or greater than 20
ft (6.10 m) vertical separation, See Residential Piping and Long
Line Guideline for special charging requirements.

LUBRICATION
Compressor
Compressor contains factory oil charge; replace oil when lost. Use
Mobile 3MA−POE oil.
CLEANING COILS
Coil should be washed out with water or blown out with
compressor air. Note that the blow−thru design causes dirt and
debris to build up on the inside of the coils. Clean coil annually or
as required by location and outdoor air conditions. Inspect coil
monthly and clean as required. Fins are not continuous through
coil sections. Dirt and debris may pass through first section,
become trapped between the row of fins and restrict condenser
airflow. Use a flashlight to determine if dirt or debris has collected
between coil sections. Clean coil as follows:
1. Turn off unit power.
2. Using a garden hose or other suitable equipment, flush coil
from the outside to remove dirt. Be sure to flush all dirt and
debris from drain holes in base of unit. Fan motors are waterproof.
