tems, use only service equipment and replace‐
ment components specifically rated or approved
for R-410A service.
WARNING
CAUTION
LOCATION
Check local codes for regulations concerning zoning,
noise, platforms, and other issues.
Locate unit away from fresh air intakes, vents, or
bedroom windows. Noise may carry into the openings
and disturb people inside.
Locate unit in a well drained area, or support unit high
enough so that water runoff will not enter the unit.
Locate unit away from areas where heat, lint, or exhaust
fumes will be discharged onto unit (as from dryer vents).
CLEARANCES
Nominal minimum clearances are 48 inches above unit
for discharge air and 18 inches on each side of the coil for
intake air. Clearance on any one side of the coil (normally
between unit and structure) may be reduced to 6 inches.
Nominal minimum clearances are based on a solid
parallel object such as a wall or roof overhang.
The clearance may be reduced for a single object with
small surface area, such as the end of a wall, outside
corner of a wall, fence section, post, etc. As a general
rule, the minimum clearance from the unit should equal
the width of the object. For example, a 6 inch fence post
should be a minimum of 6 inches from the unit.
Do not install unit under roof overhangs unless gutters are
present. A minimum vertical clearance of 48 inches is
required to the overhang.
Locate unit away from recessed or confined areas where
recirculation of discharge air may occur (refer to
CLEARANCES section of this document).
Roof-top installation is acceptable providing the roof will
support the unit and provisions are made for water
drainage and noise/vibration dampening.
NOTE: Roof mounted units exposed to wind may require
wind baffles. Consult the manufacturer for additional
information.
Inside corner locations on single story structures require
evaluation. Large overhanging soffits may cause air
recirculation in a corner area even though recommended
minimum clearances are maintained. As a guide, locate
the unit far enough out so that half of the discharge grille is
out from under the soffit.
When placing two or more units side-by-side, provide a
minimum of 18 inches between units.
Provide minimum service clearance of 24 inches from
control box corner and side service panel.
Refer to Figure 1.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 3-phase R-410A Split System Heat Pump
UNIT SUPPORT
NOTE: Unit must be level 2 degrees ( inch rise or fall
per foot of run) or compressor may not function properly.
A. GROUND LEVEL INSTALLATION
The unit must be level and supported above grade by
beams, platform, or a pad. Platform or pad can be of open or
solid construction but should be of permanent materials
such as concrete, bricks, blocks, steel, or pressure- treated
timbers approved for ground contact. Soil conditions must
be considered so that the platform or pad does not shift or
settle and leave the unit partially supported. Minimum pad
dimensions are shown in Figure 2.
If beams or an open platform are used for support, it is
recommended that the soil be treated or area be graveled
to reduce the growth of grasses and weeds.
To minimize vibration or noise transmission, it is
recommended that supports not be in contact with the
building structure. However, slabs on grade constructions
with an extended pad are normally acceptable.
!
PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in proper‐
ty damage.
Top surface of platform must be above estimated
snowfall level to prevent snow blocking coil and to
allow water melt to drain from unit.
B. ROOF TOP INSTALLATION
This type of installation is not recommended on wood
frame structures where low noise levels are required.
Supporting structure or platform for the unit must be level.
If installation is on a flat roof, locate unit minimum 6 inches
above roof level.
Place the unit over one or more load bearing walls. If there
are several units, mount them on platforms that are
self-supporting and span several load bearing walls. These
suggestions are to minimize noise and vibration
transmission through the structure. If the structure is a home
or apartment, avoid locating the unit over bedrooms or study.
NOTE: When unit is to be installed on a bonded
guaranteed roof, a release must be obtained from the
building owner to free the installer from all liabilities.
C. FASTENING UNIT DOWN
If conditions or local codes require the unit be attached in
place, remove the knockouts in the base pan and install
tie down bolts through the holes (refer to Figure 2).
Contact local distributor for hurricane hold-down details and the
P.E. (Professional Engineer) certification, when required.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
A. COMPONENT MATCHES
Check to see that the proper system components are in
place, especially the indoor coil.
R-410A outdoor units can only be used with R-410A
specific indoor coils. If there is a refrigerant mis-match,
consult the indoor coil manufacturer to determine if a
refrigerant conversion kit is available for the indoor coil.
This outdoor unit is designed for use only with indoor coils
that utilize a TXV refrigerant metering device. If any other
type of metering device is installed on the indoor coil,
consult the indoor coil manufacturer to determine if a TXV
conversion kit is available.
When installing a TXV on an indoor coil, follow the
instructions provided with the new TXV.
A typical TXV installation is shown in Figure 3.
!
PRODUCT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in product
damage.
Indoor coil and outdoor unit must be listed as a
certified combination (match) in the ARI Unitary
Directory of Certified Products.
Indoor coil must have R-410A specific, TXV refrig‐
erant metering device.

B. REFRIGERANT LINE SETS
The refrigerant line set must be properly sized to assure
maximum efficiency and proper oil circulation.
Refer to Product Specifications and Long Line
Applications Guideline for line set sizing.
NOTE: If the line set actual length is to exceed 80 feet, or
if there is more than 20 feet vertical separation between
outdoor and indoor units, refer to the Long Line
Application Guideline document for additional
instructions.
NOTE: Line set actual length must not exceed 200 feet.
NOTE: A crankcase heater must be used when the
refrigerant line length exceeds 80 feet.
If it is necessary to add refrigerant line in the field, use
dehydrated or dry, sealed, deoxidized, copper
refrigeration tubing. Do not use copper water pipe.
Do not remove rubber plugs or caps from copper tubing
until connections are ready to be made.
Be extra careful when bending refrigeration tubing.
Tubing can “kink” easily, and if this occurs, the entire
length of tubing must be replaced.
!
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in per‐
sonal injury and/or death.
Relieve pressure and recover all refrigerant before
servicing existing equipment, and before final unit
disposal. Use all service ports and open all flowcontrol devices, including solenoid valves.

UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in improp‐
er product operation.
Do not leave system open to atmosphere any lon‐
ger than absolutely required for installation. Inter‐
nal system components - especially refrigerant
oils - are extremely susceptible to moisture con‐
tamination. Keep ends of tubing sealed during
installation until the last possible moment.
C. ROUTING AND SUSPENDING REFRIGERANT
LINES
Run refrigerant lines as straight and direct as possible,
avoiding unnecessary bends and turns. Always insulate
the entire suction line. Both lines should be insulated
when routed through an attic or when routed through an
underground raceway.
When routing refrigerant lines through a foundation or
wall, do not allow refrigerant lines to come in direct
contact with the building structure. Make openings large
enough so that lines can be wrapped with extra insulation.
Fill all gaps with RTV caulk. This will prevent noise
