Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service,
maintenance, or use can cause explosion, fire, electrical shock,
or other conditions; which may cause death, personal injury or
property damage. The qualified installer or agency must use
factory-authorized kits or accessories when modifying this
product.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses, protective
clothing, and work gloves. Use quenching cloth for brazing
operations. Have fire extinguisher available. Read these
instructions thoroughly and follow all warnings or cautions
included in literature and attached to the unit. Consult local
building codes and the current editions of the National
Electrical Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA (American National
Standards Institute/National Fire Protection Association) 70. In
Canada, refer to the current editions of the Canadian Electrical
Code CSA (Canadian Standards Association) C22.1.
Understand the signal words — DANGER, WARNING,
and CAUTION. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards,
which will result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING signifies hazards that could result in personal
injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices,
which would result in minor personal injury or product and
property damage.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert
symbol (). When this symbol is displayed on the unit and in
instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal
injury. Installing, starting up, and servicing equipment can be
hazardous due to system pressure, electrical components, and
equipment location.
WARNING
Electrical shock can cause personal injury and death. Shut
off all power to this equipment during installation. There
may be more than one disconnect switch. Tag all
disconnect locations to alert others not to restore power
until work is completed.
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or desi gns without notice and wit hout incurring obligations.

When installing the equipment in a small space, provide
adequate measures to avoid refrigerant concentration
exceeding safety limits due to refrigerant leak. In case of
refrigerant leak during installation, ventilate the space
immediately. Failure to follow this procedure may lead to
personal injury.
WARNING
DO NOT USE TORCH to remove any component. System
contains oil and refrigerant under pressure.
To remove a component, wear protective gloves and
goggles and proceed as follows:
a. Shut off electrical power to unit.
b. Recover refrigerant to relieve all pressure from
system using both high-pressure and low pressure
ports.
c. Traces of vapor should be displaced with nitrogen
and the work area should be well ventilated.
Refrigerant in contact with an open flame produces
toxic gases.
d. Cut component connection tubing with tubing cutter
and remove component from unit. Use a pan to catch
any oil that may come out of the lines and as a gage
for how much oil to add to the system.
e. Carefully unsweat remaining tubing stubs when
necessary. Oil can ignite when exposed to torch
flame.
Failure to follow these procedures may result in personal
injury or death.
DO NOT re-use compressor oil or any oil that has been
exposed to the atmosphere. Dispose of oil per local codes
and regulations. DO NOT leave refrigerant system open to
air any longer than the actual time required to service the
equipment. Seal circuits being serviced and charge with
dry nitrogen to prevent oil contamination when timely
repairs cannot be completed. Failure to follow these
procedures may result in damage to equipment.
GENERAL
The VRF (variable refrigerant flow) Heat Pump system
offers a variety of indoor unit types and sizes, ranging from 0.5
to 8 tons. The 38VMA Heat Pump outdoor units are available
in four capacities, 6, 8, 10, and 12 tons. Units can be combined
to accommodate larger capacity requirements. The system has
capability to operate between 50% and 135% connected
capacity, allowing the system to be tailored to the needs of the
customer and the application.
The equipment is initially protected under the
manufacturer’s standard warranty; however, the warranty is
provided under the condition that the steps outlined in this
manual for initial inspection, proper installation, regular
periodic maintenance, and everyday operation of the unit be
followed in detail. This manual should be fully reviewed in
advance before initial installation, start-up, and maintenance.
Contact your local sales representative or the factory with any
questions BEFORE proceeding.
See Fig. 1 for model number nomenclature. Table 1 shows
components that may or may not be used for a particular
installation. T able 2 lists physical data for each unit size. Tables
3-6 list physical data for combination units. Figure 2 shows
unit dimensions.
