INTRODUCTION
The 701A and 702A units (see Fig. 1) are fully self-contained, and
designed for outdoor installation. See Figs. 2 and 3 for unit
dimensions. All unit sizes have discharge openings for both
horizontal and downflow configurations, and are factory shipped
with all downflow duct openings covered . Units may be installed
either on a rooftop, ground-level cement slab, or directly on the
ground if local codes permit. (See Fig. 4 for roof curb dimensions.)
RECEIVING AND INSTALLATION
I. CHECK EQUIPMENT
A. IDENTIFY UNIT
The unit model number and serial number are stamped on the unit
identification plate. Check this information against shipping papers.
B. INSPECT SHIPMENT
Inspect for shipping damage while unit is still on shipping pallet.
If unit appears to be damaged or is torn loose from its anchorage,
have it examined by transportation inspectors before removal.
Forward claim papers directly to transportation company. Manufacturer is not responsible for any damage incurred in transit.
Check all items against shipping list. Immediately notify the
nearest Bryant Air Conditioning office if any item is missing. To
prevent loss or damage, leave all parts in original packages until
installation.
II. PROVIDE UNIT SUPPORT
A. ROOF CURB
Install accessory roof curb in accordance with instructions shipped
with curb (See Fig. 4). Install insulation, cant strips, roofing, and
flashing. Ductwork must be attached to curb.
IMPORTANT: The gasketing of the unit to the roof curb is
critical for a watertight seal. Install gasketing material supplied
with the roof curb. Improperly applied gasketing also can result in
air leaks and poor unit performance.
Curb should be level to within 1/4 in. (see Fig. 5A). This is
necessary for unit drain to function properly. Refer to accessory
roof curb installation instructions for additional information as
required.
B. SLAB MOUNT
Place the unit on a solid, level concrete pad that is a minimum of
4 in. thick with 2 in. above grade (see Fig. 5B). The slab should
extend approximately 2 in. beyond the casing on all 4 sides of the
unit. Do not secure the unit to the slab except when required by
local codes.
C. GROUND MOUNT
The unit may be installed either on a slab or placed directly on the
ground if local codes permit. Place the unit on level ground
prepared with gravel for condensate discharge.
III. PROVIDE CLEARANCES
The required minimum service clearances are shown in Fig. 2 & 3.
Adequate ventilation and outdoor air must be provided. The
outdoor fan draws air through the outdoor coil and discharges it
through the top fan grille. Be sure that the fan discharge does not
recirculate to the outdoor coil. Do not locate the unit in either a
corner or under an overhead obstruction. The minimum clearance
under a partial overhang (such as a normal house overhang) is 36
in. above the unit top. The maximum horizontal extension of a
partial overhang must not exceed 48 in. For extended overhangs,
provide a minimum clearance of 48 in.
IMPORTANT: Do not restrict outdoor airflow. An air restriction
at either the outdoor-air inlet or the fan discharge may be
detrimental to compressor life.
Do not place the unit where water, ice, or snow from an overhang
or roof will damage or flood the unit. Do not install the unit on
carpeting or other combustible materials. Slab-mounted units
should be at least 4 in. above the highest expected water and runoff
levels. Do not use unit if it has been under water.
IV. FIELD FABRICATE DUCTWORK
Secure all ducts to roof curb and building structure on vertical
discharge units. Do not connect ductwork to unit. For horizontal
applications, unit is provided with flanges on the horizontal
openings. All ductwork should be secured to the flanges. Insulate
and weatherproof all external ductwork, joints, and roof openings
with counter flashing and mastic in accordance with applicable
codes.
Ducts passing through an unconditioned space must be insulated
and covered with a vapor barrier. If a plenum return is used on a
vertical unit, the return should be ducted through the roof deck to
comply with applicable fire codes. A minimum clearance is not
required around ductwork. Cabinet return-air static shall not
exceed -.25 in. wg.
V. RIG AND PLACE UNIT
Rigging and handling of this equipment can be hazardous for many
reasons due to the installation location (roofs, elevated structures,
etc.)
Only trained, qualified crane operators and ground support staff
should handle and install this equipment.
When working with this equipment, observe precautions in the
literature, on tags, stickers, and labels attached to the equipment,
and any other safety precautions that might apply.

Observe that blower motor starts when FAN switch is
placed in ON position and shuts down after 30 second fan
time delay expires when FAN switch is placed in AUTO
position.
2. Place SYSTEM switch in COOL position and FAN switch
in AUTO position. Set cooling control below room temperature. Observe that compressor, condenser fan, and
evaporator blower motors start. Observe that compressor
and outdoor fan shut down when control setting is satisfied
and that indoor blower shuts down after 30 second fan time
delay expires.
3. When using an auto-changeover room thermostat, place
both SYSTEM and FAN switches in AUTO positions.
Observe that unit operates in heating mode when temperature control is set to “call for heating” (above room
temperature) and operates in cooling mode when temperature control is set to “call for cooling” (below room
temperature).
IMPORTANT: Three-phase, scroll compressor units (701A048,
702A030-060) are direction-oriented. These units must be checked
to ensure proper compressor 3-phase power lead orientation. If not
corrected within 5 minutes, the internal protector will shut off the
compressor. The 3-phase power leads to the unit must be reversed
to correct rotation. When turning backwards, scroll compressors
emit elevated noise levels, and the difference between compressor
suction and discharge pressures may be dramatically lower than
normal.
D. CHECKINGANDADJUSTINGREFRIGERANT
CHARGE
The refrigerant system is fully charged with R-22 refrigerant,
tested, and factory-sealed.
NOTE: Adjustment of the refrigerant charge is not required
unless the unit is suspected of not having the proper R-22 charge.
A superheat charging chart is attached to the outside of the service
access panel. The chart includes the required suction line temperature at given suction line pressures and outdoor ambient temperatures (See Fig. 14–23).
An accurate superheat, thermocouple- or thermistor-type thermometer, a sling psychrometer, and a gauge manifold are required
when using the superheat charging method for evaluating the unit
charge. Do not use mercury or small dial-type thermometers
because they are not adequate for this type of measurement.
NOTE: Allow system to operate in the cooling mode for a
minimum of 10 minutes before checking or adjusting refrigerant
charge.
CAUTION: When evaluating the refrigerant charge, an
indicated adjustment to the specified factory charge must
always be very minimal. If a substantial adjustment is
indicated, an abnormal condition exists somewhere in the
cooling system, such as insufficient airflow across either
coil or both coils.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove caps from low- and high-pressure service fittings.
2. Using hoses with valve core depressors, attach low- and
high-pressure gauge hoses to low- and high-pressure service
fittings, respectively.
3. Start unit in Cooling mode and let unit run until system
pressures stabilize.
4. Measure and record the following:
a. Outdoor ambient-air temperature (°F db).
b. Evaporator inlet-air temperature (°F wb).
c. Suction-tube temperature (°F) at low-side service fitting.
d. Suction (low-side) pressure (psig).
5. Using “Cooling Charging Charts” compare outdoor-air
temperature (°F db) with the suction line pressure (psig) to
determine desired system operating suction line temperature. See Fig. 14-23.
6. Compare actual suction-tube temperature with desired
suction-tube temperature. Using a tolerance of ±3°F, add
refrigerant if actual temperature is more than 3°F higher
than proper suction-tube temperature, or remove refrigerant
if actual temperature is more than 3°F lower than required
suction-tube temperature.
NOTE: If the problem causing the inaccurate readings is a
refrigerant leak, refer to Check for Refrigerant Leaks section.
E. INDOOR AIRFLOW AND AIRFLOW ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION: For cooling operation, the recommended
airflow is 350 to 450 cfm for each 12,000 Btuh of rated
cooling capacity.
Tables 8 and 9 show cooling airflows at various external static
pressures. Refer to these tables to determine the airflow for the
system being installed.
NOTE: Be sure that all supply- and return-air grilles are open,
free from obstructions, and adjusted properly.
WARNING: Disconnect electrical power to the unit and
install lockout tag before changing blower speed. Electrical shock can cause serious injury or death.
Airflow can be changed by changing the lead connections of the
blower motor.
Unit 701A two- or three-speed motors (except size 030) are factory
wired for low speed operation. Unit 701A030 is factory wired for
medium speed.
All 702A units are factory wired for low speed and may need to be
wired for medium or high speed in the field.
F. For 208/230V
For color coding on the 208/230V motor leads, see Table 6.
To change the speed of the indoor fan motor (IFM), remove the fan
motor speed leg lead from the time delay relay (TDR). This wire
is attached to terminal–3 of TDR for single-phase and 3-phase
units. To change the speed, remove and replace with lead for
desired blower motor speed. Insulate the removed lead to avoid
contact with chassis parts.

To change the speed of the indoor fan motor (IFM), remove fan
motor speed lead from the time delay relay (TDR) and replace with
the lead for the desired blower motor speed. The motor speed lead
is attached to terminal–3 of TDR. For low and medium speeds
black must be connected to the jumper wire. Insulate removed leadend to avoid contact with chassis parts. To select high speed on
460-v GE motors, separate the black female quick connect (QC)
from the jumper lead male quick connect (QC) and connect the
black lead to the BR. Insulate the jumper to avoid contact with any
chassis parts.
H. COOLING SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
With the room thermostat SYSTEM switch in the COOL position
and the FAN switch in the AUTO position, the cooling sequence
of operation is as follows:
When the room temperature rises to a point that is slightly above
the cooling control setting of the thermostat, the thermostat
completes the circuit between thermostat terminal R to terminals Y
and G. These completed circuits through the thermostat connect
contactor coil (C) (through unit wire Y) and time delay relay
(TDR) (through unit wire G) across the 24-v secondary of
transformer (TRAN).
The normally open contacts of energized contactor (C) close and
complete the circuit through compressor motor (COMP) to condenser (outdoor) fan motor (OFM). Both motors start instantly.
The set of normally open contacts of energized relay TDR close
and complete the circuit through evaporator blower (indoor) fan
motor (IFM).
NOTE: Once the compressor has started and then has stopped, it
should not be started again until 5 minutes have elapsed.
The cooling cycle remains “on” until the room temperature drops
to a point that is slightly below the cooling control setting of the
room thermostat. At this point, the thermostat “breaks” the circuit
between thermostat terminal R to terminals Y and G. These open
circuits deenergize contactor coil C and relay coil TDR. The
condenser and compressor motors stop. After a 30-second delay,
the blower motor stops. The unit is in a “standby” condition,
waiting for the next “call for cooling” from the room thermostat.

The coils are easily cleaned when dry; therefore, inspect and clean
the coils either before or after each cooling season. Remove all
obstructions, including weeds and shrubs, that interfere with the
airflow through the condenser coil.
Straighten bent fins with a fin comb. If coated with dirt or lint,
clean the coils with a vacuum cleaner, using the soft brush
attachment. Be careful not to bend the fins. If coated with oil or
grease, clean the coils with a mild detergent-and-water solution.
Rinse coils with clear water, using a garden hose. Be careful not to
splash water on motors, insulation, wiring, or air filter(s). For best
results, spray condenser coil fins from inside to outside the unit.
On units with an outer and inner condenser coil, be sure to clean
between the coils. Be sure to flush all dirt and debris from the unit
base.
Inspect the drain pan and condensate drain line when inspecting
the coils. Clean the drain pan and condensate drain by removing all
foreign matter from the pan. Flush the pan and drain tube with
clear water. Do not splash water on the insulation, motor, wiring,
or air filter(s). If the drain tube is restricted, clear it with a
“plumbers snake” or similar probe device. Ensure that the auxiliary
drain port above the drain tube is also clear
D. CONDENSER FAN
CAUTION: Keep the condenser fan free from all ob-
structions to ensure proper cooling operation. Never place
articles on top of the unit. Damage to unit may result.
1. Remove 6 screws holding condenser grille and motor to top
cover.
2. Turn motor/grille assembly upside down on top cover to
expose the fan blade.
3. Inspect the fan blades for cracks or bends.
4. If fan needs to be removed, loosen the setscrew and slide
the fan off the motor shaft.
5. When replacing fan blade, position blade so that the hub is
1/8 in. away from the motor end (1/8 in. of motor shaft will
be visible).
6. Ensure that setscrew engages the flat area on the motor shaft
when tightening
Inspect and check the electrical controls and wiring annually. Be
sure to turn off the electrical power to the unit and install lockout
tag.
Remove access panel to locate all the electrical controls and
wiring. Check all electrical connections for tightness. Tighten all
screw connections. If any smoky or burned connections are
noticed, disassemble the connection, clean all the parts, restrip the
wire end and reassemble the connection properly and securely.
After inspecting the electrical controls and wiring, replace the
access panel. Start the unit, and observe at least one complete
heating cycle and one complete cooling cycle to ensure proper
operation. If discrepancies are observed in either or both operating
cycles, or if a suspected malfunction has occurred, check each
electrical component with the proper electrical instrumentation.
Refer to the unit wiring label when making these checkouts.
NOTE: Refer to the heating and/or cooling sequence of operation
in this publication as an aid in determining proper control
operation
F. REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT
Inspect all refrigerant tubing connections and the unit base for oil
accumulations annually. Detecting oil generally indicates a refrigerant leak.
WARNING: System under pressure. Relieve pressure
and recover all refrigerant before system repair or final
unit disposal to avoid personal injury or death. Use all
service ports and open all flow-control devices, including
solenoid valves.
If oil is detected or if low cooling performance is suspected,
leak-test all refrigerant tubing using an electronic leak-detector,
halide torch, or liquid-soap solution. If a refrigerant leak is
detected, refer to Check for Refrigerant Leaks section.
If no refrigerant leaks are found and low cooling performance is
suspected, refer to Checking and Adjusting Refrigerant Charge
section.
G. EVAPORATOR AIRFLOW
The heating and/or cooling air-flow does not require checking
unless improper performance is suspected. If a problem exists, be
sure that all supply- and return-air grilles are open and free from
obstructions, and that the air filter is clean. When necessary, refer
to Indoor Airflow and Airflow Adjustments section to check the
system airflow.
