IMPORTANT INFORMATION
SAFE REFRIGERANT HANDLING
While these items will not cover every conceivable situation, they should serve as a useful guide.
WARNING
Refrige rants are heavier than air. They can "push out"
the oxygen in your lungs or in any enclosed space.To
avoid possible difficulty in breathing or death:
•
Never purge refrigerant into an enclosed room or
space. By law, all refrigerants must be reclaimed.
•
If an in door leak is suspec ted, th oro ughl y vent ilat e
th e ar ea b ef ore b egi nn i ng w or k.
• Liqui d ref ri ge ra nt can be ver y co l d. To av oi d pos si ble
frostbit e or blind ness , avoi d co ntac t wi th re fri geran t
and wear gloves and goggles. If li quid refrigerant
does cont act your skin or eyes , s eek medi ca l hel p
immediate ly.
• Always follow EPA regulations. Never burn refrig erant, as poisonous gas will be produced.
WARNING
To avoid possible explosion, use only returnable (not
disposable) service cylinders when removing refrigerant f rom a system.
• Ensure the cylinder is free of damage which could
lead to a leak or explosion.
• Ensure the hydrostatic test date does not exceed
5 years.
WARNING
To avoid possible injury, explosion or death, practice
safe handling of refrigerants.
• Ensure the pressure rating meets or exceeds 400
lbs.
When in doubt, do not use cylinder.
WARNING
System contam inants, improper se rvice procedure
and/or physical abuse affecting hermetic com pressor
electrical terminals may cause dangerous s ystem
venting.
The successful development of hermetically sealed refrigeration compressors has completely sealed the compressor's
moving parts and electric motor inside a common housing,
minimizing refrigerant leaks and the hazards sometimes
associated with moving belts, pulleys or couplings.
Fundamental to the design of hermetic compressors is a
method whereby electrical current is transmitted to the
compressor motor through terminal conductors which pass
through the compressor housing wall. These terminals are
sealed in a dielectric material which insulates them from the
housing and maintains the pressure tight integrity of the
hermetic compressor. The terminals and their dielectric
embedment are strongly constructed, but are vulnerable to
careless compressor installation or maintenance procedures and equally vulnerable to internal electrical short
circuits caused by excessive system contaminants.
In either of these instances, an electrical short between the
terminal and the compressor housing may result in the loss
of integrity between the terminal and its dielectric embedment. This loss may cause the terminals to be expelled,
thereby venting the vaporous and liquid contents of the
compressor housing and system.
A venting compressor terminal normally presents no danger
to anyone, providing the terminal protective cover is properly
in place.
If, however, the terminal protective cover is not properly in
place, a venting terminal may discharge a combination of
(a ) hot lubricating oil and refrigerant
(b ) flammable mixture (if system is contaminated
with air)
in a stream of spray which may be dangerous to anyone in the
vicinity. Death or serious bodily injury could occur.
Under no circumstances is a hermetic compressor to be
electrically energized and/or operated without having the
terminal protective cover properly in place.

Cooling Mode Operation
For heat pump models, the reversing valve is de-energized in
the cooling mode.
Upon a call for cooling (indoor room temperature rises about
1.8ºF (1.0°C) more than set point):
-the compressor, outdoor fan and low speed indoor
fan will turn on
-if the indoor temperature is about 7.2ºF (4.0°C) more
than set point, medium speed indoor fan will turn on.
-if the indoor temperature is about 9.0ºF (5.0°C) more
than set point, high speed indoor fan will turn on.
If the indoor coil temperature drops too low, the compressor
and outdoor fan will turn off and the indoor fan will continue to
run until the indoor coil temperature rises to a predetermined
temperature (5 minutes minimum).
For heat pump models, if the outdoor coil temperature gets
too high, the compressor and outdoor fan will turn off until the
outdoor coil temperature drops to a predetermined temperature (5 minutes minimum).
Dehumidifying Mode Operation
For extra dehumidification, the indoor fan will run on low
speed. Indoor coil temperature protection is provided the
same as in the cooling mode.
Heating Mode Operation
For heat pump models, the reversing valve is energized in the
heating mode (except when defrosting).
Upon a call for heating (indoor room temperature drops about
1.8ºF (1.0°C) more than set point):
-the compressor and outdoor fan will turn on
-the indoor fan will delay on for short period, then will
ramp up to the selected fan speed to reduce “coldblow”.
-When in the heating mode, the compressor will run
for a minimum of 7 minutes.
If the indoor coil temperature rises too much, the compressor and fans will turn off.
Defrost Mode Operation
Defrost will be initiated when:
1. outdoor coil temperature stays less than 30ºF (-1°C)
for more than 3 minutes, or
2. outdoor coil temperature is less than 32ºF (0°C) for
90 minutes of heating operation
Defrost will be terminated when:
1. outdoor coil temperature rises to 68ºF (20°C) or
more
2. defrost time reaches 10 minutes
During defrost, the compressor and outdoor fan initially turn
off, then after 10 seconds the indoor fan turns off, the
reversing valve will shift, then 5 seconds later the compressor will turn back on. Near the end of the defrost cycle, the
compressor will shut off for 25 seconds (when the compressor shuts off the outdoor fan will turn on), then just before the
compressor turns back on, the reversing valve will shift back
into the heating mode, and the compressor will turn back on.
The indoor fan will turn back on when the indoor coil reaches
a predetermined temperature.
