I
NST ALLATION CLEARANCES
Special consideration must be given to location of the condensing
unit(s) in regard to structures, obstructions, other units, and any/
all other factors that may interfere with air circulation. Where
possible, the top of the unit should be completely unobstructed;
however, if vertical conditions require placement beneath an obstruction there should be a minimum of 60 inches betweenthe top of the unit and the obstruction(s). The specified dimensions meet requirements for air circulation only. Consult all
appropriate regulatory codes prior to determining final clearances.
Another important consideration in selecting a location for the
unit(s) is the angle to obstructions. Either side adjacent the valves
can be placed toward the structure provided the side away from
the structure maintains minimum service clearance. Corner installations are strongly discouraged.
This unit can be located at ground floor level or on flat roofs. At
ground floor level, the unit must be on a solid, level foundation
that will not shift or settle. To reduce the possibility of sound
transmission, the foundation slab should not be in contact with or
be an integral part of the building foundation. Ensure the foundation is sufficient to support the unit. A concrete slab raised above
ground level provides a suitable base.

OOFTOP INST ALLATIONS
If it is necessary to install this unit on a roof structure, ensure the roof structure can support the weight and that proper
consideration is given to the weather-tight integrity of the roof. Since the unit can vibrate during operation, sound vibration
transmission should be considered when installing the unit. Vibration absorbing pads or springs can be installed between the
condensing unit legs or frame and the roof mounting assembly to reduce noise vibration.
NOTE: These units require special location consideration in areas of heavy snow accumulation and/or areas with prolonged
continuous subfreezing temperatures. Heat pump unit bases have cutouts under the outdoor coil that permit drainage of frost
accumulation. Situate the unit to permit free unobstructed drainage of the defrost water and ice. A minimum 3” clearance under
the outdoor coil is required in the milder climates.
In more severe weather locations, it is recommended that the
unit be elevated to allow unobstructed drainage and air flow. The
elevation minimums at right are recommended:

EFRIGERANT LINES
Use only refrigerant grade (dehydrated and sealed) copper tubing to connect the condensing unit with the indoor evaporator.
After cutting the tubing, install plugs to keep refrigerant tubing
clean and dry prior to and during installation. Tubing should
always be cut square keeping ends round and free from burrs.
Clean the tubing to prevent contamination.
Do NOT let refrigerant lines come in direct contact with plumbing, ductwork, floor joists, wall studs, floors, and walls. When
running refrigerant lines through a foundation or wall, openings
should allow for sound and vibration absorbing material to be
placed or installed between tubing and foundation. Any gap
between foundation or wall and refrigerant lines should be filled
with a pliable silicon-based caulk, RTV or a vibration damping
material. A void suspending refrigerant tubing from joist s and
studs with rigid wire or straps that would come in contact with
the tubing. Use an insulated or suspension type hanger. Keep
both lines separate and always insulate the suction line.
These sizes are suitable for line lengths of 79 feet or less. If a
run of more than eighty feet is required, refer to Remote Cooling Service Manual, or TP-106 Long Line Set Application R-22,
or TP-107 Long Line Set Application R-410A or contact your

Insulation is necessary to prevent condensation from forming and dropping from the suction line. Armaflex (or satisfactory
equivalent) with 3/8” min. wall thickness is recommended. In severe conditions (hot, high humidity areas) 1/2” insulation may be
required. Insulation must be installed in a manner which protects tubing from damage and contamination.
Where possible, drain as much residual compressor oil from existing systems, lines, and traps; pay close attention to low areas
where oil may collect. NOTE: If changing refrigerant types, ensure the indoor coil and metering device is compatible with the
type of refrigerant being used; otherwise, the indoor coil must be replaced.

B
URYING REFRIGERANT LINES
If burying refrigerant lines can not be avoided, use the following
checklist.
1. Insulate liquid and suction lines separately .
2. Enclose all underground portions of the refrigerant lines in
waterproof material (conduit or pipe) sealing the ends where
tubing enters/exits the enclosure.
3. If the lines must pass under or through a concrete slab, ensure
lines are adequately protected and sealed.
R
EFRIGERANT LINE CONNECTIONS
IMPORTANT
T o avoid overheating the service valve, TXV valve, or filter
drier while brazing, wrap the component with a wet rag,
or use a thermal heat trap compound. Be sure to follow
the manufacturer’s instruction when using the heat trap
compound. Note: Remove Schrader valves from service
valves before brazing tubes to the valves. Use a brazing
alloy of 2% minimum silver content. Do not use flux.
Torch heat required to braze tubes of various sizes is
proportional to the size of the tube. T ubes of smaller size
require less heat to bring the tube to brazing temperature before adding brazing alloy . Applying too much heat
to any tube can melt the tube. Service personnel must use the appropriate heat level for the size of the tube
being brazed. NOTE: The use of a heat shield when brazing is recommended to avoid burning the serial plate
or the finish on the unit.
1. The ends of the refrigerant lines must be cut square, deburred, cleaned, and be round and free from nicks or dents. Any
other condition increases the chance of a refrigerant leak.
2. “Sweep” the refrigerant line with nitrogen or inert gas during brazing to prevent the formation of copper-oxide inside the
refrigerant lines. The POE oils used in R-410A applications will clean any copper-oxide present from the inside of the
refrigerant lines and spread it throughout the system. This may cause a blockage or failure of the metering device.
3. After brazing, quench the joints with water or a wet cloth to prevent overheating of the service valve.
4. Ensure the filter drier paint finish is intact after brazing. If the paint of the steel filter drier has been burned or chipped,
repaint or treat with a rust preventative. This is especially important on suction line filter driers which are continually wet
when the unit is operating.
NOTE: Be careful not to kink or dent refrigerant lines. Kinked or dented lines will cause poor performance or compressor
damage.
Do NOT make final refrigerant line connection until plugs are removed from refrigerant tubing.
NOTE: Before brazing, verify indoor TXV is correct for R410A and proper size.

EAK TESTING
(N
ITROGEN OR NITROGEN-TRACED

WARNING
Pressure test the system using dry nitrogen and soapy water
to locate leaks. If you wish to use a leak detector, charge the
system to 10 psi using the appropriate refrigerant then use
nitrogen to finish charging the system to working pressure then
apply the detector to suspect areas. If leaks are found, repair
them. After repair, repeat the pressure test. If no leaks exist,
proceed to system evacuation.

.
NOTE: Scroll compressors should never be used to evacuate or
pump down a heat pump or air conditioning system.
1. Connect the vacuum pump with 250 micron capability to
the service valves.
2. Evacuate the system to 250 microns or less using suction
and liquid service valves. Using both valves is necessary
as some compressors create a mechanical seal separating
the sides of the system.
3. Close pump valve and hold vacuum for 10 minutes. Typically
pressure will rise during this period.
•If the pressure rises to 1000 microns or less and remains
steady the system is considered leak-free; proceed to
startup.
•If pressure rises above 1000 microns but holds steady
below 2000 microns, moisture and/or noncondensibles
may be present or the system may have a small leak.
Return to step 2: If the same result is encountered check
for leaks as previously indicated and repair as necessary
then repeat evacuation.
•If pressure rises above 2000 microns, a leak is present.
Check for leaks as previously indicated and repair as
necessary then repeat evacuation.
E
LECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The condensing unit rating plate lists pertinent electrical data
necessary for proper electrical service and overcurrent protection. Wires should be sized to limit voltage drop to 2% (max.)
from the main breaker or fuse panel to the condensing unit.
Consult the NEC, CEC, and all local codes to determine the
correct wire gauge and length.
Local codes often require a disconnect switch located near the
unit; do not install the switch on the unit. Refer to the installation instructions supplied with the indoor furnace/air handler for
specific wiring connections and indoor unit configuration. Likewise, consult the instructions packaged with the thermostat for
mounting and location information.

OL TAGE CONNECTIONS
Condensing unit control wiring requires a nominal 24 V AC (+/- 6
V AC), 60 Hz, minimum 25 V A service from either the indoor or an
optional outdoor transformer. Low volt age wiring for the condensing units depends on the thermostat used. The unit is designed to
work as part of a fully communicating HV AC system utilizing the
ComfortNet™ CTK0* thermostat, ComfortNet™ compatible indoor
unit, and up to four wires.
The unit also has legacy 24 V AC inputs to support non-communicating systems. Route control wires through the low voltage port
and terminate in accordance with the wiring diagram provided inside the control panel cover.
NOTE: For two-stage units, refer to the Installation Instructions
supplied with the variable speed indoor units for field wiring connections.
NOTE: If the heat pump unit is wired in the communicating modetogether
with a compatible communicating indoor unit and CTK0* communicating
thermostat, then the communicating thermostat is able to search andidentify
the condensing unit when power is applied to the system. Refer to the
Installation Manual of the optional communicating thermostat for more
information.

NOTE: Power must be supplied to the 18 SEER outdoor units
containing ECM motors before the power is applied to the indoor
unit. Sending a low voltage signal without high voltage power
present at the outdoor unit can cause malfunction of the control
module on the ECM motor.
Adequate refrigerant charge for the matching evaporator coil or
air handler and 15 feet of lineset is supplied with the condensing unit. If using evaporator coils or air handlers other than
HSVTC coil it maybe necessary to add or remove refrigerant to attain proper charge. If line set exceeds 15 feet in length,
refrigerant should be added at .6 ounces per foot of liquid line.
NOTE: Charge should always be checked using superheat when using a piston and subcooling when using TXV equipped
indoor coil to verify proper charge.
Open the suction service valve first! If the liquid service valve is opened first, oil from the compressor may be drawn into the indoor
coil TXV , restricting refrigerant flow and affecting operation of the system.
When opening valves with retainers, open each valve only until the top of the stem is 1/8” from the retainer . To avoid loss of
refrigerant, DO NOT apply pressure to the retainer . When opening valves without a retainer remove service valve cap and insert
a hex wrench into the valve stem and back out the stem by turning the hex wrench counterclockwise. Open the valve until it
contacts the rolled lip of the valve body .
NOTE: These are not back-seating valves. It is not necessary to force the stem tightly against the rolled lip.
After the refrigerant charge has bled into the system, open the liquid service valve. The service valve cap is the secondary seal
for the valve and must be properly tightened to prevent leaks. Make sure cap is clean and apply refrigerant oil to threads and
sealing surface on inside of cap. Tighten cap finger-tight and then tighten additional 1/6 of a turn (1 wrench flat) to properly seat
the sealing surfaces.
