3.0 UNIT INSTALLATION

3.1 LOCATION

Before starting the installation, select and check the suitability of the location for both
the indoor and outdoor unit. Observe all limitations and clearance requirements. The
outdoor unit must have sufficient clearance for air entrance to the condenser coil, for air
discharge and for service access. See Fig.2

NOTE

For multiple unit installations, units must be spaced a minimum of 18 inches
apart. (Coil face to coil face.)

If the unit is to be installed on a hot sun exposed roof or a black-topped ground area, the
unit should be raised sufficiently above the roof or ground to avoid taking the accumu­lated layer of hot air into the outdoor unit.

Provide an adequate structural support.

WARNING

The outdoor unit should not be installed in an area where mud or ice could cause
personal injury.

Elevate the unit sufficiently to prevent any blockage of the air entrances by snow in
areas where there will be snow accumulation. Check the local weather bureau for the
expected snow accumulation in your area. Isolate the unit from rain gutters to avoid any
possible wash out of the foundation.

When installing units on a roof, the structure must be capable of supporting the total
weight of the unit, including a padded frame unit, rails, etc., which should be used to
minimize the transmission of sound or vibration into the conditioned space.

3.3 ROOF INSTALLATION

3.4 UNIT PLACEMENT

1. Provide a base in the pre-determined location.

2. Remove the shipping carton and inspect for possible damage.

3. Compressor tie-down bolts should remain tightened.

4. Position the unit on the base provided.

The unit may be installed at ground level on a solid base that will not shift or settle, caus­ing strain on the refrigerant lines and possible leaks. Maintain the clearances shown in
Fig.2 and install the unit in a level position.

3.2 GROUND INSTALLATION

Normal operating sound levels may be objectionable if the unit is placed directly under
windows of certain rooms (bedrooms, study, etc.).
Top of unit discharge area must be unrestricted for at least 60 inches above the unit.

6

1. Install the lines with as few bends as possible. Care must be taken not to damage
the couplings or kink the tubing. Use clean hard drawn Copper tubing where no
appreciable amount of bending around obstruction is necessary, if soft copper must
be used, care must be taken to avoid sharp bends which may cause a restriction.

2. The lines should be installed so that they will not obstruct service access to the coil,
air handling system or filter.

3.5 PRECAUTIONS DURING LINE INSTALLATION

CAUTION

This system uses R410A refrigerant which operates at higher pressure than
R-22. No other refrigerant may be used in this system. Gauge sets, hoses,
refrigerant containers, and recovery system must be designed to handle
R410A. If you are unsure, consult the equipment manufacturer.

The outdoor unit must be connected to the indoor coil using field supplied refrigerant
grade copper tubing that is internally clean and dry. Units should be installed only with
the tubing sizes for approved system combinations. The charge given is applicable for
total tubing lengths up to 25 feet.

NOTE

Using a larger than specified line size could result in oil return problems. Using
too small a line will result in loss of capacity and other problems caused by insuf­ficient refrigerant flow. Slope horizontal vapor lines at least 1" every 20 feet
toward the outdoor unit to facilitate proper oil return.

3. Care must also be taken to isolate the refrigerant lines to minimize noise transmis­ sion from the equipment to the structure.

4. The vapor line and liquid line must be insulated with a minimum of 1/2" foam rubber
insulation (Armafiex or equivalent). Tape and suspend the refrigerant lines as shown.
DO NOT allow tube metal-to-metal contact. See Fig. 3.

5. Use PVC piping as a conduit for all underground installations as shown in Fig. 4.
Buried lines should be kept as short as possible to minimize the build up of liquid
refrigerant in the vapor line during long periods of shutdown.

6. Pack fiberglass insulation and a sealing material such as perma gum around refrig­ erant lines where they penetrate a wall to reduce vibration and to retain some flexi­ bility.

All outdoor unit and evaporator coil connections are copper-to-copper and should be
brazed with a phosphorous-copper alloy material such as Silfos-5 or equivalent. DO
NOT use soft solder. The outdoor units have reusable service valves on both the liquid
and vapor connections. The total system refrigerant charge is retained within the
outdoor unit during shipping and installation. The reusable service valves are provided
to evacuate and charge per this instruction.
Serious service problems can be avoided by taking adequate precautions to assure an
internally clean and dry system.

NOTE:All outdoor wiring must be weather proof

CAUTION

Dry nitrogen should always be supplied through the tubing while it is being
brazed, because the temperature required is high enough to cause oxidation
of the copper unless an inert atmosphere is provide. The flow of dry nitrogen
should continue until the joint has cooled. Always use a pressure regulator
and safety valve to insure that only low pressure dry nitrogen is introduced into
the tubing.Only a small flow is necessary to displace air and prevent oxidation.

Precautions should be taken to prevent heat damage to service valve by wrapping a wet
rag around it as shown in Fig. 6. Also, protect all painted surfaces, insulation, during
brazing. After brazing cool joint with wet rag.

3.7 PRECAUTIONS DURING BRAZING SERVICE VALVE

Valve can be opened by removing the plunger cap and fully inserting a hex wrench into
the stem and backing out counter-clockwise until valve stem just touches the cham­fered retaining wall.

1. Remove the cap and Schrader core from both the liquid and vapor service valve
service ports at the outdoor unit. Connect Iow pressure nitrogen to the liquid line
service port.

Connect the refrigerant lines using the following procedure:

2. Braze the liquid line to the liquid valve at the outdoor unit. Be sure to wrap the valve
body with a wet rag. Allow the nitrogen to continue flowing. Refer to the Tabular Data
Sheet for proper liquid line sizing.

3. Carefully remove the rubber plugs from the evaporator liquid and vapor connections
at the indoor coil.

4. Braze the liquid line to the evaporator liquid connection. Nitrogen should be flowing
through the evaporator coil.

5. Slide the plastie cap away from the vapor connection at the indoor coil. Braze the
vapor line to the evaporator vapor connection. Refer to the Table 1 for proper vapor
line sizing.

6. Protect the vapor valve with a wet rag and braze the vapor line connection to the
outdoor unit. The nitrogen flow should be exiting the system from the vapor service
port connection. After this connection has cooled, remove the nitrogen source from
the liquid fitting service port.

7. Replace the Schrader core in the liquid and vapor valves.

8. Leak test all refrigerant piping connections including the service port flare caps to be
sure they are leak tight. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN (between 40 and 60 inch -lbs.

maximum).

9. Evacuate the vapor line, evaporator and the liquid line, to 500 microns or less.

10. Replace cap on service ports. Do not remove the flare caps from the service ports
except when necessary for servicing the system.

CAUTION

Do not connect manifold gauges unless trouble is suspected. Approximately 3/4
ounce of refrigerant will be lost each time a standard manifold gauge is
connected.

11. Release the refrigerant charge into the system. Open both the liquid and vapor
valves by removing the plunger cap and with an hex wrench back out counter

-clockwise until valve stem just touches the chamfered retaining wall.

12. Replace plunger cap finger tight, then tighten an additional 1/12 turn (1/2 hex flat).
Cap must be replaced to prevent leaks.

Fig.10 Typical Field Wiring

It will be necessary to evacuate the system to 500 microns or less. If a leak is
suspected, leak test with dry nitrogen to locate the leak. Repair the leak and test again.
To verify that the system has no leaks, simply close the valve to the vacuum pump
suction to isolate the pump and hold the system under vacuum. Watch the micron
gauge for a few minutes. If the micron gauge indicates a steady and continuous rise,
it's an indication of a leak. If the gauge shows a rise, then levels off after a few minutes
and remains fairly constant, its an indication that the system is leak free but still
contains moisture and may require further evacuation if the reading is above 500
microns.

5.0 EVACUATION

7.0 SYSTEM OPERATION

7.1 COMPRESSOR CRANKCASE HEATER(CCH)

Refrigerant migration during the off cycle can result in a noisy start up. Add a crank­case heater to minimize refrigeration mirgration, and to help eliminate any start up
noise or bearing “wash out”.
All heaters are located on the lower half of the compressor shell. Its purpose is to drive
refrigerant from the compressor shell during long off cycles, thus preventing damage
to the compressor during start-up.
At initial start-up or after extended shutdown periods, make sure the heater is ener­gized for at least 12 hours before the compressor is started. (Disconnect switch on and
wall thermostat off.)

6 .0 INTERCONNECTING TUBING

6 .1 VAPOR AND LIQUID LINES

Keep all lines sealed until connection is made.
Make connections at the indoor coil first.
Refer to Li ne Size Information in Ta bles 2 and 3 for correct size and multipliers to be
used to determine capacity for various vapor line diameters and lengths of run. The
losses due to the lines being exposed to outdoor conditions are not included.
The factory refrigerant charge in the o

utdoor unit is s ufficient for 25 feet of
interc onnecting lines. The factory refrigerant charge in the outdoor unit is sufficient
for the unit and 25 feet of standard size interconnecting l iquid and vapor lines. For
diff erent lengths, adjust the charge as indicated below.
1/4” ± .3 oz. per foot
5/16” ± .4 oz. per foot
3/8” ± .6 oz . per foot
1/2” ± 1.2 oz . per foot

6 .2 M AXIMUM LENGTH OF LINES

T h e maximum length of interconnecting line is 150 feet.
Always use the shortest length possible with a minimu m number of bends. Additional
compressor oil is not required for any length up to 150 feet.
NOTE: Excessively long refrigerant lines cause loss of equipment capacity.

6 .3 V ERTICAL SEPARATION

Keep the vertical separation to a minimum. Use the following g

uidelines when

installing the unit:

1. DO NOT exceed the vertical separations as indicated on Table 3.

2. It is recommended to use the smallest liquid line size permitted to minimize sys -

t

em charge which will maximize compressor reliability.

3. Table 3

may be used for sizing horizontal runs.

When discharge temp. > 275 °

F, compressor will stop.

When discharge temp. < 194 °F, compressor will restart.

High perssure protection (Heat pump only)

When high pressure > 638 PSIG, compressor and outdoor fan motor will stop.
When high pressure < 464 PSIG, compressor and outdoor fan motor will restart
(3 minutes delay necessary).

Low pressure protection (Heat pump only)

Low pressure < 21 PSIG, compressor and outdoor fan motor will stop.
Low pressure > 44 PSIG, compressor and outdoor fan motor will restart
(3 minutes delay necessary).

In stand-by status, the compressor will not start in low pressure protection.
Within 30 mins, if 4 protection cycles occurs, system will restore after power cut-down.

Charge for all systems should be checked against the Charging Chart inside the
access panel cover.
IMPORTANT:Do not operate the compressor without charge in system. Additio n of
R - 410A will raise pressures (vapor, liquid and discharge).
If adding R - 410A raises both vapor pressure and temperature, the unit is over -
c harged.
IMPORTANT: Use industry - approved charging methods to ensure proper syst

em

charge.

When T4 < 5 °F, compressor will stop.
When T4 > 10.4 °F, compressor will restart.

9.CHECKING REFRIGERANT CHARGE

Three phase scrolls are power phase dependent and can compress in more than
one direction.
Verify proper rotation for three phase compressors by ensuring the suction pressure
drops and discharge pressure rises when the compressor is energized.

NOTE: When operated in reverse, a three phase scroll compressors is noisier and
its current draw is substantially reduced compared to marked rated values, please
check the compressor wiring; when connected to the power but the compressor does
not work, the LED indicator on the PCB board of the condensing unit will flash rapidly.
To correct, exchange any two of the power input terminals among the L1, L2 or L3
and this should correct problem.

When the power code connection is error, the LED indicator flashes rapidly.

When the system is in stand -by mode, the LED indicator flashes slowly.

When the system is working in normal mode, the LED indicator will stay lite.

CAUTION

Use care when handling scroll compressors. Dome temperatures can be hot.

10.0 INSTRUCTING THE OWNER

10.1 MAINTENANCE

. Dirt should not be allowed to accumulate on the outdoor coils or other parts in the air
circuit. Clean as often as necessary to keep the unit clean. Use a brush, vacuum
cleaner attachment, or other suitable means.

2.

The outdoor fan motor is permanently lubricated and does not require periodic oiling.

3.

If the coil needs to be cleaned, it should be washed with Calgon Coilclean (mix one

part Coilclean to seven parts water). Allow solution to remain on coil for 30 minutes
before rinsing with clean water. Solution should not be permitted to come in contact
with painted surfaces.

4. Refer to the furnace or air handler instructions for filter and blower motor maintenance.

5. The indoor coil and drain pan should be inspected and cleaned regularly to assure

proper drainage.

CAUTION

It is unlawful to knowingly vent, release or discharge refrigerant into the open air
during repair, service, maintenance or the final disposal of this unit. When the
system is functioning properly and the owner has been fully instructed, secure the
owner’s approval.

Assist owner with processing Warranty cards and/or online registration. Review Owners
Guide and provide a copy to the ower and guidance on proper operation and main­teance. Instruct the owner or the operator how to start, stop and adjust temperature
setting. The installer should instruct the owner on proper operation and maintenance of
all other system components.

9 .2 CHARGING BY WEIGHT

For a new installation, evacuation of interconnecting tubing and indoor coil is
adeq uate; otherwise, evacuate the entire system.

Note that charge value includes
charge required for 15 ft. of standard size interconnecti ng liquid line. Calculate actua l
charge required with installed liquid line size and length using:
1/4” O.D. = . 3 oz./ft.
5/16” O.D. = .4 oz./ft
3/8” O.

D. = .6 oz./ft
1/2” O.D. = 1.2 oz./ft
With an accurate scale (+/ - 1 oz.) or volumetric char ging device, adjust charge
diff erence between that shown on the unit data plate and that calculated for the new

system Installation. if the entire system has been evacua ted, add the total calculated
charge.

9 .3 FINAL LEAK TESTING

After the unit has been properly evacuated and charged, a halogen leak detector
should be used to detect leaks in the system. All piping within the condensing unit,
evaporator, and interconnec ting tubing should be checked for leaks. If a leak is

detected, the refrigerant should be recovered before repairing the leak. The Clean Air
Act prohibits releasing refrigerant into the atmosphere .

9 .1 CHARGING BY LI Q UID PRESSURE

The liquid pressure method is used for charging systems in the cooling and heating
mode. The service port on the liquid (small valve) and suction (large valve) is used
for this purpose.

Verify that the outdoor unit is running and the indoor air mover is delivering the
maximum airflow for this system size. Read and record the outdoor ambient tem ­p

erature. Read and record the liquid and suction pressures at the ports on the liquid

and suction valves

.

If refrigerant lines are sized using the n ameplate charge, the correct liquid pressure is
found at the intersection of the suction pressure and the outdoor ambient.

1. Remove refrigerant charge if the liquid pressure is above the chart value.

2. Add refrigerant charge if the liquid pressure is below the chart value.
