This information is intended for use by individuals
possessing adequate backgrounds of electrical and
mechanical experience. Any attempt to repair a central
air conditioning product may result in personal injury
and/or property damage. The manufacture or seller
cannot be responsible for the interpretation of this
information, nor can it assume any liability in connection with its use.
These units use R-410A refrigerant which operates
at 50 to 70% higher pressures than R-22. Use only
R-410A approved service equipment. Refrigerant cylinders are painted a “Rose” color to indicate the type
of refrigerant and may contain a “dip” tube to allow
for charging of liquid refrigerant into the system. All
R-410A systems use a POE oil that readily absorbs
moisture from the atmosphere. To limit this “hygroscopic” action, the system should remain sealed
whenever possible. If a system has been open to the
atmosphere for more than 4 hours, the compressor oil
must be replaced. Never break a vacuum with air and
always change the driers when opening the system
for component replacement. For specific handling
concerns with R-410A and POE oil reference Retrofit
Bulletins SS-APG006-EN and APP-APG011-EN.

STEP 6 - Adjust refrigerant level to attain
proper gage pressure.
Add refrigerant if the Liquid Gage Pressure
is lower than the chart value.
1. Connect gages to refrigerant bottle
and unit as illustrated.
2. Purge all hoses.
3. Open bottle.
4. Stop adding refrigerant when liquid
line temperature and Liquid Gage
Pressure matches the charging chart
Final Subcooling value.
Recover refrigerant if the Liquid Gage Pressure is higher than the chart value.
STEP 7 - Stabilize the system.
1. Wait 20 minutes for the system condition to stabilize between adjustments.
Note: When the Liquid Line Temperature and
Gage Pressure approximately match the chart,
the system is properly charged.
2. Remove gages.
3. Replace service port caps to prevent
leaks. Tighten finger tight plus an additional 1/6 turn.
20 MIN.

14.3 Weigh-In Method for Charging
Weigh-In Method can be used for the initial
installation, or anytime a system charge is being
replaced. Weigh-In Method can also be used
when power is not available to the equipment
site or operating conditions (indoor/outdoor
temperatures) are not in range to verify with the
subcooling charging method.
Calculating Charge Using the Weigh-In Method
STEP 1 - Measure in feet the distance between the
outdoor unit and the indoor unit and record on Line 1.
Include the entire length of the line from the service
valve to the IDU.
STEP 2 - Enter the charge multiplier (0.6 lb/ft). Each
linear foot of interconnecting tubing requires the addition of 0.6 lb of refrigerant.
STEP 3 - Multiply the total length of refrigerant tubing
(Line 1) times the value on Step 2. Record the result
on Line 3 of the Worksheet.
STEP 4 - This is the amount of refrigerant to weigh-in
prior to opening the service valves.
1. Line length (ft) ______________
2. Charge multiplier x ____ 0.6 ______
3. Step 1 x Step 2 = _____________
4. Refrigerant = _____________
