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
Page 7
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
Page 9
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 plastic 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.

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 HEAT BUMP ONLY)
Refrigerant migration during the off cycle can result in a noisy start up. Add a crank­case heater to minimize refrigeration migration, 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 Line Size Information in Tables 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.
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 MAXIMUM LENGTH OF LINES
The maximum length of interconnecting line is 150 feet. Always use the shortest length possible with a minimum 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 VERTICAL 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 ­tem charge which will maximize compressor reliability.
3. Table 3
may be used for sizing horizontal runs.
The factory refrigerant charge in the outdoor unit is sufficient for the unit and 25 feet of standard size interconnecting liquid and vapor lines. For different lengths,adjust the charge as indicated below.

7.3 PROTECTION FUNCTION INTRODUCTION (Heat pump only)
Sensor T3 (condenser pipe temperature) and T4 (outdoor ambient temperature)
When open-circuit, compressor, outdoor fan motor and reverse valve will be OFF.
Discharge temperature protection
When discharge temp. is > 275 °F, the compressor will stop. When discharge temp. is < 194 °F, the compressor will restart.
High perssure protection
When high pressure is > 638 PSIG, the compressor and the outdoor fan motor will stop. When high pressure is < 464 PSIG, the compressor and the
outdoor fan motor will restart
(3 minutes delay necessary).
Low pressure protection
Low pressure is < 21 PSIG, the compressor and the outdoor fan motor will stop. Low pressure is > 44 PSIG, the compressor and the 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.
When T4 is < 5 °F, the compressor will stop. If the electrical heater kit is installed in
the indoor unit, the outdoor unit would provide a signal to drive up the heater.

For a new installation, evacuation of interconnecting tubing and indoor coil is adequate; otherwise, evacuate the entire system. Note that charge value includes charge required for 25 ft. of standard size interconnecting liquid line. Calculate actual
With an accurate scale (+/-1 oz.) or volumetric charging device, adjust charge difference between that shown on the unit data plate and that calculated for the new system Installation. if the entire system has been evacuated, add the total calculated charge.
8.3 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 interconnecting 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.
If refrigerant lines are sized using the nameplate 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.
