5 Pre-Installation Considerations
5.1 Preparation
Keep this document with the unit. Carefully read all
instructions for the installation prior to installing product. Make sure each step or procedure is understood
and any special considerations are taken into account
before starting installation. Assemble all tools, hardware and supplies needed to complete the installation.
Some items may need to be purchased locally. Make
sure everything needed to install the product is on hand
before starting.
5.2 System Matches
The entire system (combination of indoor and outdoor
sections) must be manufacturer approved and Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI)
listed. NOTE: Installation of unmatched systems is not
permitted.
5.3 Interconnecting Tubing
Give special consideration to minimize the length of
refrigerant tubing when installing air handlers. Refer
to Remote Cooling/Heat Pump Service Manual
RS6200006, and TP-107 Long Line Set Application R410A for tubing guidelines. If possible, allow adequate
length of tubing such that the coil may be removed (for
inspection or cleaning services) from the cabinet without disconnecting the tubing.
5.4 Clearances
The unit clearance from a combustible surface may be
0". However, service clearance must take precedence.
A minimum of 24" in front of the unit for service clearance is required. Additional clearance on one side or
top will be required for electrical wiring connections.
Consult all appropriate regulatory codes prior to determining final clearances. When installing this unit in
an area that may become wet (such as crawl spaces),
elevate the unit with a sturdy, non-porous material. In
installations that may lead to physical damage (i.e. a
garage) it is advised to install a protective barrier to
prevent such damage. Always install units such that a
positive slope in condensate line (1/4" per foot) is allowed.
5.5 Horizontal Applications
If installed above a finished living space, a secondary
drain pan (as required by many building codes), must
be installed under the entire unit and its condensate
drain line must be routed to a location such that the
user will see the condensate discharge.

7Refrigerant Lines
This product i s factory-shipped with R410A and dry
nitrogen mixture gas under pressu re. Use appr opria te
service tools and follow these instructions to prevent
injury .
NOTE: Refrigerant tubing must be routed to allow adequate
access for servicing and maintenance of the unit.
7.1 Tubing Size
For the correct tubing size, follow the specification for
the condenser/heat pump.
7.2 Tubing Preparation
All cut ends are to be round, burr free, and clean. Failure to follow this practice increases the chances for
refrigerant leaks. The suction line is spun closed and
requires tubing cutters to remove the closed end.
NOTE: To prevent possible damage to the tubing joints,
do not handle coil assembly with manifold or flowrator
tubes. Always use clean gloves when handling coil assemblies.
7.3 Special Instructions
Units without a factory installed TXV come equipped
with a flowrator piston for refrigerant expansion. For
most installations with matching applications, no
change to the flowrator piston is required. However,
in mix-matched applications, a flowrator piston
change may be required. See the piston kit chart (provided in the literature packet) or consult your local
distributor for details regarding mix-matched
flowrator piston sizing. If the mix-match application
requires a different flowrator piston size, change the
flowrator piston in the flowrator body on the indoor
coil before installing the coil and use the procedure
in section 7.4.
NOTE: The use of a heat shield is strongly recommended
when brazing to avoid burning the serial plate or the
finish of the unit. Heat trap or wet rags must be used
to protect heat sensitive components such as service
valves and TXV valves sensing bulb.
Do not install the air handler in a location that violates the
instructions provided with the condenser. If the unit is
located in an unconditioned area with high ambient
temperature and/or high humidity, the air handler may be
subject to nuisance sweating of the air handler cabinet.
On these installations, a wrap of 2" fiberglass insulation
with a vapor barrier is recommended.
A quenching cloth is strongly recommended to prevent
scorching or marring of the equipment finish when
brazing close to the painted surfaces. Use brazing
alloy of 5% minimum silver content.
CAUTION
Applying too much heat to any tube can melt the tube. Torch
heat required to braze tubes of various sizes must be
proportional to th e s ize of th e tube. S er vice p er sonn el mu st
use the appropriate heat level for the size of the tube being
brazed.

7.7 Thermal Expansion Valve System Adjustment
Run the system at Cooling for 10 minutes until refrigerant
pressures stabilize. Use the following guidelines and methods to check unit operation and ensure that the refrigerant
charge is within limits. Charge the unit on low stage.
1. Purge gauge lines. Connect service gauge manifold to
base-valve service ports.
2. Temporarily install a thermometer on the liquid line
at the liquid line service valve and 4-6" from the compressor on the suction line. Ensure the thermometer
makes adequate contact and is insulated for best possible readings. Use liquid line temperature to determine subcooling and vapor temperature to determine
superheat.
3. Check subcooling and superheat. Systems with TXV application should have a subcooling of 7 to 9ºF and superheat of 7 to 9 ºF.
a. If subcooling and superheat are low, adjust TXV to
7 to 9 ºF superheat, then check subcooling.
NOTE: To adjust superheat, turn the valve stem clockwise
to increase and counter clockwise to decrease.
b. If subcooling is low and superheat is high, add charge
to raise subcooling to 7 to 9ºF then check superheat.
c. If subcooling and superheat are high, adjust TXV
valve to 7 to 9 ºF superheat, then check subcooling.
d. If subcooling is high and superheat is low, adjust
TXV valve to 7 to 9 ºF superheat and remove charge to
lower the subcooling to 7 to 9ºF.
NOTE: Do NOT adjust the charge based on suction pressure
unless there is a gross undercharge.
4. Disconnect manifold set, installation is complete.
NOTE: Check the Schrader ports for leaks and tighten valve
cores if necessary. Install caps finger-tight.
SUBCOOL FORMULA =
SAT. LIQUID LINE TEMP. - LIQUID LINE TEMP.
SUPERHEAT FORMULA =
SUCT. LINE TEMP. - SAT. SUCT. TEMP.
NOTE: Expansion valve system in ASPT models are already
tuned for 16 SEER single stage Heat Pump, adjustment of
Expansion valve system is required in case subcool, superheat
does not match to Section 7.6.3 above or when these models
are installed with any other outdoor models.
