INTRODUCTION
The 48VL--A unit (see Fig. 1) is a fully self--contained,
combination Category I gas heating/electric cooling unit designed
for outdoor installation (See Fig. 3 and 4 for unit dimensions). All
unit sizes have return and 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 or on a cement slab. (See Fig. 5 for roof curb
dimensions).
In gas heating mode, this unit is designed for a minimum
continuous return--air temperature of 55_F(13_C) db and a
maximum continuous return--air temperature of 80_F(27_C) db.
Failure to follow these return--air temperature limits may affect
reliability of heat exchangers, motors, and other components.
Models with an N in the fifth position of the model number are
dedicated Low NOx units designed for California installations.
These models meet the California maximum oxides of nitrogen
(NOx) emissions requirements of 40 nanograms/joule or less as
shipped from the factory and must be installed in California Air
Quality Management Districts or any other regions in North
America where a Low NOx rule exists.
NOTE:Low NOx requirements apply only to natural gas
installations.
RECEIVING AND INSTALLATION
Step 1 — Check Equipment
Identify Unit
The unit model number and serial number are stamped on the unit
information plate. Check this information against shipping papers.
Inspect Shipment
Inspect for shipping damage before removing packaging materials.
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 equipment distribution office if any item is missing. To
prevent loss or damage, leave all parts in original packages until
installation.
If the unit is to be mounted on a curb in a downflow application,
review Step 9 to determine which method is to be used to remove
the downflow panels before rigging and lifting into place. The
panel removal process may require the unit to be on the ground.
Step 2 — Provide Unit Support
For hurricane tie downs, contact distributor for details and PE
(Professional Engineering) Certificate if required.
Roof Curb
Install accessory roof curb in accordance with instructions shipped
with curb (See Fig. 5). 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 water tight 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. (6 mm). This is necessary
for unit drain to function properly. Refer to accessory roof curb
installation instructions for additional information as required.
Installation on older “G” series roof curbs.
Two accessory kits are available to aid in installing a new “G”
series unit on an old “G” roof curb.
1. Accessory kit number CPADCURB001A00, (small chassis)
and accessory kit number CPADCURB002A00, (large
chassis) includes roof curb adapter and gaskets for the
perimeter seal and duct openings. No additional
modifications to the curb are required when using this kit.
2. An alternative to the adapter curb is to modify the existing
curb by removing the outer horizontal flange and use
accessory kit number CPGSKTKIT001A00 which includes
spacer blocks (for easy alignment to existing curb) and
gaskets for the perimeter seal and duct openings. This kit is
used when existing curb is modified by removing outer
horizontal flange.
!
WARNING
UNITS/STRUCTURAL DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in property
damage.

Step 3 — 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.
Read unit rating plate for any required clearances around ductwork.
Cabinet return--air static shall not exceed --.25 IN. W.C.
Step 4 — Provide Clearances
IMPORTANT: The unit must be secured to the curb by installing
screws through the bottom of the curb flange and into the unit base
rails. When installing large base units onto the common curb, the
screws must be installed before allowing the full weight of the unit
to rest on the curb. A minimum of six screws are required for large
base units. Failure to secure unit properly could result in an
unstable unit. See Warning near Rigging/Lifting information and
accessory curb instructions for more details.
The required minimum operating and service clearances are shown
in Fig. 3 and 4. Adequate combustion, ventilation and condenser
air must be provided.
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.
The condenser fan pulls air through the condenser coil and
discharges it through the top grille. Be sure that the fan discharge
does not recirculate to the condenser 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 48--in. (1219 mm) above the unit top. The maximum
horizontal extension of a partial overhang must not exceed 48--in.
(1219 mm).
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 2 in. (51 mm) above the highest expected water
and runoff levels. Do not use unit if it has been under water.
Step 5 — 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.
Training for operators of the lifting equipment should include, but
not be limited to, the following:
1. Application of the lifter to the load, and adjustment of the
lifts to adapt to various sizes or kinds of loads.
2. Instruction in any special operation or precaution.
3. Condition of the load as it relates to operation of the lifting
kit, such as balance, temperature, etc.
Follow all applicable safety codes. Wear safety shoes and work
gloves.
Inspection
Prior to initial use, and at monthly intervals, all rigging shackles,
clevis pins, and straps should be visually inspected for any
damage, evidence of wear, structural deformation, or cracks.
Particular attention should be paid to excessive wear at hoist
hooking points and load support areas. Materials showing any kind
of wear in these areas must not be used and should be discarded.

2. Use only copper conductor for connections between
field--supplied electrical disconnect switch and unit. DO
NOT USE ALUMINUM WIRE.
3. Be sure that high--voltage power to unit is within
operating voltage range indicated on unit rating plate. On
3--phase units, ensure phases are balanced within 2
percent. Consult local power company for correction of
improper voltage and/or phase imbalance.
4. Insulate low--voltage wires for highest voltage contained
within conduit when low--voltage control wires are in
same conduit as high--voltage wires.
5. Do not damage internal components when drilling
through any panel to mount electrical hardware, conduit,
etc.
High--Voltage Connections
When routing power leads into unit, use only copper wire between
disconnect and unit. The high voltage leads should be in a conduit
until they enter the duct panel; conduit termination at the duct
panel must be watertight.
The unit must have a separate electrical service with a
field--supplied, waterproof disconnect switch mounted at, or within
sight from, the unit. Refer to the unit rating plate, NEC and local
codes for maximum fuse/circuit breaker size and minimum circuit
amps (ampacity) for wire sizing.
The field--supplied disconnect switch box may be mounted on the
unit over the high--voltage inlet hole when the standard power and
low--voltage entry points are used (See Fig. 3 and 4 for acceptable
location).
NOTE:Field supplied disconnect switch box should be
positioned so that it does not cover up any of the unit gas
combustion supply air louvers.
See unit wiring label (Fig. 14, 15 and 16) and Fig. 10 for reference
when making high voltage connections. Proceed as follows to
complete the high--voltage connections to the unit.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death and property damage.
Before making any wiring changes, make sure the gas
supply is switched off first. Then switch off the power
supply to the unit and install lockout tag.
Control Voltage Connections
Do not use any type of power--stealing thermostat. Unit control
problems may result.
Use no. 18 American Wire Gage (AWG) color--coded, insulated
(35_C minimum) wires to make the control voltage connections
between the thermostat and the unit. If the thermostat is located
more than 100 ft (30.5 m) from the unit (as measured along the
control voltage wires), use no. 16 AWG color--coded, insulated
(35_C minimum) wires.
The room thermostat heat anticipator must be properly adjusted to
ensure proper heating performance. Set the heat anticipator, using
an ammeter between the W and R terminals to determine the exact
required setting.
NOTE: For thermostat selection purposes, use 0.18 amp for the
approximate required setting. Failure to make a proper heat
anticipator adjustment will result in improper operation, discomfort
to the occupants of the conditioned space, and inefficient energy
utilization; however, the required setting may be changed slightly
to provide a greater degree of comfort for a particular installation.

Normal Operation
An LED (light--emitting diode) indicator is provided on the
integrated gas unit controller (IGC) to monitor operation. The IGC
is located by removing the control access panel (see Fig. 19).
During normal operation, the LED is continuously on (See Table 5
for error codes).
Airflow and Temperature Rise
The heating section for each size unit is designed and approved for
heating operation within the temperature--rise range stamped on the
unit rating plate.
Table 8 shows the approved temperature rise range for each heating
input, and the air delivery cfm at various temperature rises for a
given external static pressure. The heating operation airflow must
produce a temperature rise that falls within the approved range.
Refer to Indoor Airflow and Airflow Adjustments section to adjust
heating airflow when required.
Heating Sequence of Operation
(See Fig. 14, 15, 16 and unit wiring label.)
On a call for heating, terminal W of the thermostat is energized,
starting the induced--draft motor. When the pressure switch senses
that the induced--draft motor is moving sufficient combustion air,
48VL--A
the burner sequence begins. This function is performed by the
integrated gas unit controller (IGC). The indoor (evaporator)--fan
motor is energized 45 sec after flame is established. When the
thermostat is satisfied and W is de--energized, the burners stop
firing and the indoor (evaporator) fan motor shuts off after a
45--sec time--off delay. Please note that the IGC has the capability
to automatically reduce the indoor fan motor on delay and increase
the indoor fan motor off delay in the event of high duct static
and/or partially--clogged filter.
Limit Switches
Normally closed limit switch (LS) completes the control circuit.
Should the leaving--air temperature rise above the maximum
allowable temperature, the limit switch opens and the control
circuit “breaks.” Any interruption in the control circuit instantly
closes the gas valve and stops gas flow to the burners. The blower
motor continues to run until LS resets.
When the air temperature at the limit switch drops to the
low--temperature setting of the limit switch, the switch closes and
completes the control circuit. The direct--spark ignition system
cycles and the unit returns to normal heating operation.

3. When W is energized the burners will remain on for a minimum of 60 sec.
The function of the rollout switch is to close the main gas valve in
the event of flame rollout. The switch is located above the main
burners. When the temperature at the rollout switch reaches the
maximum allowable temperature, the control circuit trips, closing
the gas valve and stopping gas flow to the burners. The indoor
(evaporator) fan motor (IFM) and induced draft motor continue to
run until switch is reset. The IGC LED will display FAULT CODE

Step 3 — Start--up Cooling and Make Adjustments
Complete the required procedures given in the Pre--Start--Up
section before starting the unit. Do not jumper any safety devices
when operating the unit. Do not operate the compressor when the
outdoor temperature is below 40°F(4.4°C) (unless accessory
low--ambient kit is installed). Do not rapid--cycle the compressor.
Allow 5 minutes between on cycles to prevent compressor damage.
Checking Cooling Control Operation
Start and check the unit for proper cooling control operation as
follows:
1. Place room thermostat SYSTEM switch in OFF position.
Observe that blower motor starts when FAN switch is
placed in ON position and shuts down 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 cooling cycle
shuts down when control setting is satisfied. The evaporator
fan will continue to run for 90 sec.
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 compressors are direction
oriented. Unit 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, the difference between compressor suction and
discharge pressures will be minimal.
Checking and Adjusting Refrigerant Charge
The refrigerant system is fully charged with PuronR (R--410A)
refrigerant and is tested and factory sealed. Allow system to operate
a minimum of 15 minutes before checking or adjusting charge.
NOTE: Adjustment of the refrigerant charge is not required unless
the unit is suspected of not having the proper PuronR (R--410A)
charge.
The charging label and the tables shown refer to system
temperatures and pressures in cooling mode only. A refrigerant
charging label is attached to the inside of the compressor access
panel. (See Fig. 19.) The chart includes the required liquid line
temperature at given discharge line pressures and outdoor ambient
temperatures.
An accurate thermocouple-- or thermistor--type thermometer, and a
gauge manifold are required when using the subcooling 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.

!
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit damage.
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[°C] db).
b. Liquid line temperature (°F[°C]).
c. Discharge (high--side) pressure (psig).
d. Suction (low--side) pressure (psig) (for reference only).
5. Using “Cooling Charging Charts,” compare outdoor--air
temperature(°F[°C] db) with the discharge line pressure
(psig) to determine desired system operating liquid line
temperature (See Table 7).
6. Compare actual liquid line temperature with desired liquid
line temperature. Using a tolerance of ± 2°F(±1.1°C), add
refrigerant if actual temperature is more than 2°F(1.1°C)
higher than proper liquid line temperature, or remove
refrigerant if actual temperature is more than 2°F(1.1°C)
lower than required liquid line temperature.
NOTE:If the problem causing the inaccurate readings is a
refrigerant leak, refer to the Check for Refrigerant Leaks section.
CAUTION

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Disconnect electrical power to the unit and install lockout
tag before changing blower speed.
This unit has independent fan speeds for gas heating and cooling.
In addition, this unit has the field-selectable capability to run two
different cooling fan speeds: A normal cooling fan speed (350~450
CFM/Ton) and an enhanced dehumidification fan speed (As low as
320 CFM/Ton) for use with either a dehumidistat or a thermostat
that supports dehumidification.
This unit is factory-set up for use with a single cooling fan speed.
The cooling speed is marked “LOW” on the interface fan board
(IFB)(See Fig. 17) . The factory-shipped settings are noted in
Table 8. There are 3 additional speed tap wires available for use in
either gas heating or cooling (For color coding on the indoor fan
motor leads, see Table 6). The additional 3 speed tap wires are
shipped loose with vinyl caps and are located in the control box,
near the interface fan board (IFB) (See Fig. 17).
Gas Heating Fan Speed Set-up
To change the gas heating speed:
1. Remove the vinyl cap off of the desired speed tap wire
(Refer to Table 6 for color coding). Table 8 shows the
temperature rise associated with each fan speed for a given
static pressure. Make sure that the speed chosen delivers a
temperature rise within the rise range listed on the unit
rating plate.
2. Remove the current speed tap wire from the “GAS HEAT”
terminal on the interface fan board (IFB) (Fig.18) and place
vinyl cap over the connector on the wire.
3. Connect the desired speed tap wire to the “GAS HEAT”
terminal on the interface fan board (IFB).

3. Remove the vinyl cap off of the desired speed tap wire
(Refer to Table 6 for color coding) for the normal cooling
fan speed and place desired speed tap wire on “HIGH” on
the interface board.
4. Refer to airflow tables (Table 8) to determine allowable
speeds for the dehumidification cooling fan speed. In Table
8, speeds that are not allowed for dehumidification cooling
are shaded.
5. Remove the vinyl cap off of the desired speed tap wire
(Refer to Table 6 for color coding) for the dehumidification
cooling fan speed and place desired speed tap wire on the
“LOW” connection on the interface board (IFB). Verify

that static pressure is in the acceptable range for the speed
tap to be used for dehumidification cooling.
6. Use any spare vinyl plugs to cap any unused speed tap
wires.
NOTE: For cooling operation, the recommended airflow is 350 to
450 CFM for each 12,000 Btuh of rated cooling capacity.
Continuous Fan Operation
When the DEHUM feature is not used, the continuous fan speed
will be the same as cooling fan speed. When the DEHUM feature
is used, the continuous fan will operate on IFB “LOW” speed
when the DH control lead is not energized, or IFB “HIGH” speed
when the DH lead is energized (see Fig. 17).
Table 6 – Color Coding for Indoor Fan Motor Leads
Black = High Speed
Orange = Med---High Speed
Red=MedSpeed
Pink = Med --- Low Speed
Blue = Low Speed
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
48VL--A
of operation is as follows:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. The set of normally open contacts on the interface fan board
(IFB) are closed which energizes a circuit to the indoor fan
motor (IFM).
NOTE: Once the compressor has started and then 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. The condenser and compressor motors
stop. After a 90--sec. delay, the blower motor stops. The unit is in a
standby condition, waiting for the next call for cooling from the
room thermostat.

Pressure Switches
Pressure switches are protective devices wired into control circuit
(low voltage). They shut off compressor if abnormally high or low
pressures are present in the refrigeration circuit. These pressure
switches are specifically designed to operate with Puron (R--410A)
systems. R--22 pressure switches must not be used as replacements
for the Puron (R--410A) system.
Loss of Charge Switch
This switch is located on the liquid line and protects against low
suction pressures caused by such events as loss of charge, low
airflow across indoor coil, dirty filters, etc. It opens on a pressure
drop at about 20 psig. If system pressure is above this, switch
should be closed. To check switch:
1. Turn off all power to unit.
2. Disconnect leads on switch.
3. Apply ohm meter leads across switch. You should have
continuity on a good switch.
NOTE:Because these switches are attached to refrigeration
system under pressure, it is not advisable to remove this device for
troubleshooting unless you are reasonably certain that a problem
exists. If switch must be removed, remove and recover all system
charge so that pressure gauges read 0 psig. Never open system
without breaking vacuum with dry nitrogen.
High--Pressure Switch
The high--pressure switch is located in the discharge line and
protects against excessive condenser coil pressure. It opens at 650
psig.
High pressure may be caused by a dirty outdoor coil, failed fan
motor, or outdoor air recirculation. To check switch:
1. Turn off all power to unit.
2. Disconnect leads on switch.
3. Apply ohm meter leads across switch. You should have
continuity on a good switch.

WARNING
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death and/or property damage.
Wear safety glasses and gloves when handling refrigerants.
Keep torches and other ignition sources away from
refrigerants and oils.
The scroll compressor pumps refrigerant throughout the system by
the interaction of a stationary and an orbiting scroll. The scroll
compressor has no dynamic suction or discharge valves, and it is
48VL--A
more tolerant of stresses caused by debris, liquid slugging, and
flooded starts. The compressor is equipped with a noise reducing
shutdown device and an internal pressure relief port. The pressure
relief port is a safety device, designed to protect against extreme
high pressure. The relief port has an operating range between 550
(26.34 kPa) and 625 psig (29.93 kPa) differential pressure.
!
WARNING
EXPLOSION,ENVIRONMENTALSAFETY
HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death or equipment damage.
This system uses Puron (R--410A) refrigerant which has
higher operating pressures than R--22 and otherrefrigerants.
No other refrigerant may be used in this system. Gauge set,
hoses, and recovery system must be designed to handle
Puron. If you are unsure, consult the equipment
manufacturer.
Refrigerant System
This information covers the refrigerant system of the 48VL--A,
including the compressor oil needed, servicing systems on roofs
containing synthetic materials, the filter drier and refrigerant
charging.
Compressor
The Copeland scroll compressor uses 3MAF POE oil. If additional
oil is needed, use Uniqema RL32--3MAF. If this oil is not
available, use Copeland Ultra 32 CC or Mobil Arctic EAL22 CC.
This oil is extremely hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs water
readily. POE oils can absorb 15 times as much water as other oils
designed for HCFC and CFC refrigerants. Take all necessary
precautions to avoid exposure of the oil to the atmosphere.
Oil
Servicing Systems on Roofs with Synthetic Materials
POE (polyolester) compressor lubricants are known to cause long
term damage to some synthetic roofing materials.
Exposure, even if immediately cleaned up, may cause
embrittlement (leading to cracking) to occur in one year or more.
When performing any service that may risk exposure of
compressor oil to the roof, take appropriate precautions to protect
roofing. Procedures which risk oil leakage include, but are not
limited to, compressor replacement, repairing refrigerant leaks,
replacing refrigerant components such as filter drier, pressure
switch, metering device, coil, accumulator, or reversing valve.
Synthetic Roof Precautionary Procedure
1. Cover extended roof working area with an impermeable
polyethylene (plastic) drip cloth or tarp. Cover an
approximate 10 X 10 ft. (3.1 m X 3.1 m) area.
2. Cover area in front of the unit service panel with a terry
cloth shop towel to absorb lubricant spills and prevent
run--offs, and protect drop cloth from tears caused by tools
or components.
3. Place terry cloth shop towel inside unit immediately under
component(s) to be serviced and prevent lubricant run--offs
through the louvered openings in the unit base.
4. Perform required service.
5. Remove and dispose of any oil contaminated material per

This filter drier is specifically designed to operate with Puron. Use
only factory--authorized components. Filter drier must be replaced
whenever the refrigerant system is opened. When removing a filter
drier, use a tubing cutter to cut the drier from the system. Do not
unsweat a filter drier from the system. Heat from unsweating will
release moisture and contaminants from drier into system.
Puron (R--410A) Refrigerant Charging
Refer to unit information plate and charging chart. Some R--410A
refrigerant cylinders contain a dip tube to allow liquid refrigerant to
flow from cylinder in upright position. For cylinders equipped
with a dip tube, charge Puron units with cylinder in upright
position and a commercial metering device in manifold hose.
Charge refrigerant into suction--line.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Use the Troubleshooting Guides (See Tables 13--15) if problems
occur with these units.
START--UP CHECKLIST
Use Start--Up checklist to ensure proper start--up procedures are
followed.

PURONR (R--410A) QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
S Puron refrigerant operates at 50--70 percent higher pressures than R--22. Be sure that servicing equipment and replacement
components are designed to operate with Puron
S Puron refrigerant cylinders are rose colored.
S Recovery cylinder service pressure rating must be 400 psig, DOT 4BA400 or DOT BW400.
S Puron systems should be charged with liquid refrigerant. Use a commercial type metering device in the manifold hose when
charging into suction line with compressor operating
S Manifold sets should be minimum 700 psig high side and 180 psig low side with 550 psig low--side retard.
S Use hoses with minimum 700 psig service pressure rating.
S Leak detectors should be designed to detect HFC refrigerant.
S Puron, as with other HFCs, is only compatible with POE oils.
S Vacuum pumps will not remove moisture from oil.
S Do not use liquid--line filter driers with rated working pressures less than 600 psig.
S Do not leave Puron suction line filter driers in line longer than 72 hrs.
S Do not install a suction--line filter drier in liquid line.
S POE oils absorb moisture rapidly. Do not expose oil to atmosphere.
S POE oils may cause damage to certain plastics and roofing materials.
S Wrap all filter driers and service valves with wet cloth when brazing.
S A factory approved liquid--line filter drier is required on every unit.
S Do NOT use an R--22 TXV.
S Never open system to atmosphere while it is under a vacuum.
S When system must be opened for service, recover refrigerant, evacuate then break vacuum with dry nitrogen and replace filter
driers. Evacuate to 500 microns prior to recharging.
S Do not vent Puron into the atmosphere.
S Observe all warnings, cautions,andbold text.
S All indoor coils must be installed with a hard shutoff Puron TXV metering device.
