power to system and install lockout tag. There may be
more than one disconnect switch. Turn off accessory heater
power switch if applicable.
INTRODUCTION
The PA3Z packaged air conditioner is fully self--contained and
designed for outdoor installation (See Fig. 1). Standard units are
shipped in a horizontal-- discharge configuration for installation on
a ground--level slab or directly on the ground if local codes permit.
Standard units can be converted to downflow (vertical) discharge
configurations for rooftop applications with a field supplied
plenum.
RECEIVING AND INSTALLATION
Step 1 — Check Equipment
IDENTIFY UNIT
The unit model number and serial number are printed on the unit
informative plate. Check this information against shipping papers.
INSPECT SHIPMENT
Inspect for shipping damage while unit is still on shipping pallet. If
unit appears to be damaged or is torn loose from its anchorage,
have it examined by transportation inspectors before removal.
Forward claim papers directly to transportation company.
Manufacturer is not responsible for any damage incurred in transit.
Check all items against shipping list. Immediately notify the
nearest equipment distribution office if any item is missing. To
prevent loss or damage, leave all parts in original packages until
installation.
Step 2 — Provide Unit Support
For hurricane tie downs, contact distributor for details and PE
(Professional Engineering) Certificate, if required.
SLAB MOUNT
Place the unit on a solid, level concrete pad that is a minimum of 4
in. (101.6 mm) thick with 2 in. (50.8 mm) above grade. The slab
should extend approximately 2 in. (50.8 mm) beyond the casing on
all 4 sides of the unit. Do not secure the unit to the slab except
when required by local codes.
A 6-- in. (152.4 mm) wide gravel apron should be used around the
flat surface to prevent airflow blockage by grass or shrubs. The
unit should be level within 1/4 in. (6.4 mm). This is necessary for
the unit drain to function properly.
GROUND MOUNT
The unit may be installed either on a slab or placed directly on the
ground if local codes permit. Place the unit on level ground
prepared with gravel for condensate discharge.
Step 3 — Provide Clearances
The required minimum service clearances are shown in Fig. 5.
.
Adequate ventilation and outdoor air must be provided.
The outdoor fan draws air through the outdoor coil and discharges
it through the top fan grille. Be sure that the fan discharge does not
recirculate to the outdoor coil. Do not locate the unit in either a
corner or under an overhead obstruction. The minimum clearance
under a partial overhang (such as a normal house overhang) is 48
in. (1219 mm) above the unit top. The maximum horizontal
extension of a partial overhang must not exceed 48 in. (1219 mm).
IMPORTANT: Do not restrict outdoor airflow. An air restriction
at either the outdoor--air inlet or the fan discharge may be
detrimental to compressor life.
Do not place the unit where water, ice, or snow from an overhang
or roof will damage or flood the unit. Do not install the unit on
carpeting or other combustible materials. Slab--mounted units
should be at least 4 in. (101.6 mm) above the highest expected
water and runoff levels. Do not use unit if it has been under water.
Step 4 — Place Unit
Unit can be moved with the rigging holds provided in the unit
base. Refer to Table 1 for shipping weights. Use extreme caution to
prevent damage when moving the unit. Unit must remain in an
upright position during all moving operations. The unit must be
level with in 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) for proper condensate drainage; the
ground-- level pad must be level before setting the unit in place.
When a field--fabricated support is used, be sure that the support is
level and that it properly supports the unit.
Step 5 — Select and Install Ductwork
The design and installation of the duct system must be in
accordance with the standards of the NFPA for installation of
non--residence type air conditioning and ventilating systems,
NFPA 90A or residence type, NFPA 90B and/or local codes and
ordinances.
Select and size ductwork, supply--air registers, and return air grilles
according to ASHRAE (American Society of Heating,
Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers) recommendations.
Use the duct flanges provided on the supply-- and return--air
openings on the side of the unit. See Fig. 5 for connection sizes
and locations. The 14--in. (355.6 mm) round duct collars are
shipped inside the unit attached to the base pan in the indoor
blower compartment. They are field--installed and must be
removed from the indoor blower compartment prior to start--up,
even if they are not used for installation.

When designing and installing ductwork, consider the following:
!
CAUTION
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to unit
components.
When connecting ductwork to units, do not drill deeper
than 3/4 in. (19.1 mm) in shaded area shown in Fig. 2 or
coil may be damaged.
CONFIGURING UNITS FOR DOWNFLOW (VERTICAL)
DISCHARGE
!
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Before performing service or maintenance operations on the
system, turn off main power to unit and install lockout tag.
1. All units should have field-- supplied filters or accessory
filter rack installed in the return--air side of the unit.
Recommended sizes for filters are shown in Table 1.
2. Avoid abrupt duct size increases and reductions. Abrupt
change in duct size adversely affects air performance.
IMPORTANT: Use flexible connectors between ductwork and
unit to prevent transmission of vibration. Use suitable gaskets to
ensure weather tight and airtight seal. When electric heat is
installed, use fireproof canvas (or similar heat resistant material)
connector between ductwork and unit discharge connection. If
flexible duct is used, insert a sheet metal sleeve inside duct. Heat
resistant duct connector (or sheet metal sleeve) must extend 24--in.
(609.9 mm) from electric heater element.
3. Size ductwork for cooling air quantity (cfm). The minimum
air quantity for proper electric heater operation is listed in
Table 2. Heater limit switches may trip at air quantities
below those recommended.
4. Seal, insulate, and weatherproof all external ductwork. Seal,
insulate and cover with a vapor barrier all ductwork passing
through conditioned spaces. Follow latest Sheet Metal and
Air Conditioning Contractors National Association
(SMACNA) and Air Conditioning Contractors Association
(ACCA) minimum installation standards for residential
heating and air conditioning systems.
5. Secure all ducts to building structure. Flash, weatherproof,
and vibration--isolate duct openings in wall or roof
according to good construction practices.
Fig. 6 shows a typical duct system with PA3Z unit installed.
19.17 in. (487 mm)
3.92 in.
(100 mm)
Units are dedicated side supply products. They are not convertible
to vertical air supply. A field--supplied plenum must be used to
convert to vertical air discharge.
Step 6 — Connect Condensate Drain
NOTE: When installing condensate drain connection be sure to
comply with local codes and restrictions.
Unit removes condensate through a 1--3/64--in. (26.6 mm) ID hole
(using 3/4--in. (19.1 mm) OD piping or tubing) which is located at
the end of the unit. See Fig. 5 for location of condensate
connection.
Condensate water can be drained directly onto the roof in rooftop
installations (where permitted) or onto a gravel apron in ground
level installations. Install a field--supplied condensate trap at end of
condensate connection to ensure proper drainage. Make sure that
the outlet of the trap is at least 1 in. (25.4 mm) lower than the drain
pan condensate connection to prevent the pan from overflowing
(See Fig. 3 and 4). When using a gravel apron, make sure it slopes
away from the unit.
If the installation requires draining the condensate water away from
the unit, install a 2--in. (50.8 mm) trap using a 3/4--in. (19.1 mm)
OD tubing or pipe. (See Fig. 3 and 4.) Make sure that the outlet of
the trap is at least 1 in. (25.4 mm) lower than the unit drain--pan
condensate connection to prevent the pan from overflowing. Prime
the trap with water. Connect a drain tube using a minimum of
3/4-- in. PVC, 3/4--in. CPVC, or 3/4--in. copper pipe (all field
supplied). Do not undersize the tube. Pitch the drain tube
downward at a slope of at least 1 in. (25.4 mm) for every 10 ft (3
m) of horizontal run. Be sure to check the drain tube for leaks.
Prime trap at the beginning of the cooling season start--up.
Allowable glues for condensate trap connection are: Standard
ABS, CPVC, or PVC cement..

Step 3 — Refrigerant Charge
Refrigerant Charge — Amount of refrigerant charge is listed on
unit nameplate and in Table 1. Refer to Refrigerant Service
Techniques Manual, Refrigerants section. Unit panels must be in
place when unit is operating during charging procedure. Unit must
operate a minimum of 15 minutes before checking charge.
NO CHARGE
Refer to Bryant Refrigerant Service Techniques. Use standard
evacuating techniques. After evacuating system, weigh in the
specified amount of refrigerant (refer to Table 1).
LOW CHARGE COOLING
024--042 units:
1. Measure suction line pressure by attaching a gauge to the
service port.
2. Measure the suction line temperature by attaching a
temperature sensing device to it.
3. Insulate the temperature sensing device so that the outdoor
ambient doesn’t affect the reading.
4. Locate the measured suction line pressure in the top row of
Table 6 and the measured outdoor ambient temperature in
the left column of the table. Based on the two values,
determine the required suction line temperature.
5. If the measured suction line temperature is greater than the
tabulated temperature, add charge in the system.
048, 049 and 060 units:
1. Measure discharge line pressure by attaching a gauge to the
service port.
2. Measure the liquid line temperature by attaching a
temperature sensing device to it.
3. Insulate the temperature sensing device so that the outdoor
ambient doesn’t affect the reading.
4. Refer to the required subcooling in Tables 3 and 4 to find
the required subcooling based on the model size and the
outdoor ambient temperature.
5. Interpolate if the outdoor temperature lies in between the
table values. Extrapolate if the temperature lies beyond the
table range.
6. Find the pressure value corresponding to the measured
pressure on the compressor discharge line.
7. Read across from the pressure reading to obtain the Liquid
line temperature for a required subcooling.
8. Add charge if the measured temperature is higher than the
liquid line temperature value in the table.

9. Add charge using the service connection on the suction line
of the compressor.
Step 4 — Indoor Airflow and Airflow Adjustments
NOTE: For cooling operation, the recommended airflow is 350
to 450 cfm for each 12,000 Btuh of rated cooling capacity.
Table 5 shows dry coil air delivery for horizontal discharge units.
Tables 7 --9 show pressure drops.
NOTE: Be sure that all supply-- and return-- air grilles are open,
free from obstructions, and adjusted properly.

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Disconnect electrical power to the unit and install lockout
tag before changing blower speed.
PA3Z
Airflow can be changed by changing the lead connections at the
blower motor. To change motor speeds, reposition wire at fan
motor speed terminals labeled 1--2--3--4 (refer to Fig. 12).
Remove the speed tap connector labeled 1 through 5 and the
motor. While looking at the connector end that is inserted into the
motor, gently pry the locking tab outward and remove the wire
from the connector. Insert the wire into the desired tap until it locks
into place. Be sure new airflow meets the range noted above and
minimum electic heat CFM, if equipped. Refer to Table 2 and 5.

Step 5 — Unit Controls
All compressors have the following internal--protection controls.
HIGH--PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
This valve opens when the pressure differential between the low
and high side becomes excessive.
COMPRESSOR OVERLOAD
This overload interrupts power to the compressor when either the
current or internal temperature become excessive, and
automatically resets when the internal temperature drops to a safe
level.
This overload may require up to 60 minutes (or longer) to reset;
therefore, if the internal overload is suspected of being open,
disconnect the electrical power to the unit and check the circuit
through the overload with an ohmmeter or continuity tester.
COMPRESSOR ROTATION
On 3--Phase units it is important to be certain compressor is
rotating in the proper direction. To determine whether or not
compressor is rotating in the proper direction:
1. Connect service gages to suction and discharge pressure
fittings.
2. Energize the compressor.
3. The suction pressure should drop and the discharge pressure
should rise, as is normal on any start--up.
If the suction pressure does not drop and the discharge pressure
does not rise to normal levels:
1. Turn off power to the unit and tag disconnect.
2. Reverse any two of the unit power leads.
3. Turn on power to the unit.
The suction and discharge pressure levels should now move to
their normal start--up levels.
NOTE: When the compressor is rotation in the wrong direction,
the unit makes an elevated level of noise and does not provide
cooling.
Step 6 — Sequence of Operation
FAN O PER ATION
The FAN switch on the thermostat controls indoor fan operation.
When the FAN switch is placed in the ON position, the IFR
(indoor--fan relay) is energized through the G terminal on the
thermostat. The normally--open contacts close, which then provide
power to the indoor (evaporator) fan motor (IFM). The IFM will
run continuously when the FAN switch is set to ON.
When the FAN switch is set to AUTO, the thermostat deenergizes
the IFR (provided there is not a call for cooling). The contacts open
and the IFM is deenergized. The IFM will be energized only when
there is a call for cooling or if the unit is equipped with accessory
electric heat.
NOTE: Some units are equipped with a time--delay relay. On
these units, the indoor fan remains on for 30 seconds after G or Y
is deenergized.
COOLING OPERATION (SIZES 024--042 and 049)
With a call for cooling (Y/Y2), the indoor fan energizes
immediately whereas the contactor energizes after a 5 minute time
delay (in case of initial start--up) starting the compressor and the
outdoor fan motor. When the cooling demand is met, Y/Y2
de--energizes, shutting the compressor, indoor fan and the outdoor
fan.

COOLING OPERATION (SIZES 048 AND 060)
These units utilize a 2 stage indoor thermostat. With a first stage
call for cooling (Y1), the indoor fan (low stage) energizes
immediately whereas the contactor energizes after a 5 minute time
delay (in case of an initial start--up) starting the compressor (low
stage) and the outdoor fan motor. If the low stage operation cannot
satisfy the cooling demand, the second stage cooling (Y2)
energizes switching the compressor into high stage cooling through
energizing an internal solenoid valve inside the scroll compressor
and switching the indoor fan into high stage. When second stage
cooling is satisfied, Y2 de--energizes switching the compressor and
the indoor fan into low stage cooling. When the low stage cooling
demand is met, Y1 de--energizes shutting the compressor, indoor
fan and the outdoor fan.
CONTINUOUS FAN
With the continuous Indoor fan option selected on the thermostat,
G is continuously energized. In case of 024--042 and 049 units, the
selected airflow setting is provided. In case of 048 and 060 units,
the system runs low stage (Y1) airflow for continuous fan
operation.
ELECTRIC RESISTANCE HEATING
If accessory electric heaters are installed, the thermostat energizes
W which energizes the heater relay and in turn energizes the
electric heaters. The IFR is energized which starts the indoor--fan
motor. If the heaters are staged, W2 is energized when the second
stage of heating is required. When the need for heating is satisfied,
the heater and IFM are de--energized.

the duct panel and install the mounting bracket back in
its position.
g. Install the screws on the external side of the duct panel
to fasten duct panel with the housing.
h. Replace the side access panel.
Step 4 — Outdoor Coil, Indoor Coil, and
Condensate Drain Pan
Inspect the condenser coil, evaporator coil, and condensate drain
pan at least once each year.
The coils are easily cleaned when dry; therefore, inspect and clean
the coils either before or after each cooling season. Remove all
obstructions, including weeds and shrubs, that interfere with the
airflow through the condenser coil.
Straighten bent fins with a fin comb. If coated with dirt or lint,
clean the coils with a vacuum cleaner, using the soft brush
attachment. Be careful not to bend the fins. If coated with oil or
grease, clean the coils with a mild detergent and water solution.
Rinse coils with clear water, using a garden hose. Be careful not to
splash water on motors, insulation, wiring, or air filter(s). For best
results, spray condenser coil fins from inside to outside the unit. On
units with an outer and inner condenser coil, be sure to clean
between the coils. Be sure to flush all dirt and debris from the unit
base.
Inspect the drain pan and condensate drain line when inspecting
the coils. Clean the drain pan and condensate drain by removing all
foreign matter from the pan. Flush the pan and drain trough with
clear water. Do not splash water on the insulation, motor, wiring, or
air filter(s). If the drain trough is restricted, clear it with a
“plumbers snake” or similar probe device.
Step 5 — Outdoor Fan
!
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to unit
components.
Keep the condenser fan free from all obstructions to ensure
proper cooling operation. Never place articles on top of
unit.
1. Shut off unit power supply and install lockout tag.
2. Remove outdoor--fan assembly (grille, motor, motor cover,
and fan) by removing screws and flipping assembly onto
unit top cover.
3. Loosen fan hub setscrews.
4. Adjust fan height as shown in Fig. 19.
5. Tighten setscrews.
6. Replace outdoor--fan assembly.

Step 6 — Electrical Controls and Wiring
Inspect and check the electrical controls and wiring annually. Be
sure to turn off the electrical power to the unit.
Remove access panel to locate all the electrical controls and wiring.
Check all electrical connections for tightness. Tighten all screw
connections. If any smoky or burned connections are noticed,
disassemble the connection, clean all the parts, re-- strip the wire
end and reassemble the connection properly and securely.
19
Check to ensure no wires are touching refrigerant tubing or sharp
sheet metal edges. Move and secure wires to isolate from tubing
and sheet metal edges.
After inspecting the electrical controls and wiring, replace all the
panels. Start the unit, and observe at least one complete cooling
cycle to ensure proper operation. If discrepancies are observed in
operating cycle, or if a suspected malfunction has occurred, check
each electrical component with the proper electrical
instrumentation. Refer to the unit wiring label when making these
checks.
Step 7 — Refrigerant Circuit
Inspect all refrigerant tubing connections and the unit base for oil
accumulation annually. Detecting oil generally indicates a
refrigerant leak.
If oil is detected or if low performance is suspected, leak test all
refrigerant tubing using an electronic leak detector, or liquid--soap
solution. If a refrigerant leak is detected, refer to Check for
Refrigerant Leaks section.
If no refrigerant leaks are found and low performance is suspected,
refer to Checking and Adjusting Refrigerant Charge section.
Step 8 — Indoor Airflow
PA3Z
The airflow does not require checking unless improper
performance is suspected. If a problem exists, be sure that all
supply-- and return--air grilles are open and free from obstructions,
and that the air filter is clean.
Step 9 — Metering Devices
Refrigerant cooling metering device is an AccuRater (024--042) or
TXV (048--060) located upstream of the indoor coil distributor
assembly.
Step 10 — High Flow Valves
High flow valves are located on the compressor hot gas and suction
tubes. Large black plastic caps distinguish these valves with
O--rings located inside the caps. These valves can not be accessed
for service in the field. Ensure the plastic caps are in place and tight
or the possibility of refrigerant leakage could occur.
