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.

LIVE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS!
During installation, testing, servicing, and trouble­shooting of this product, it may be necessary to work
with live electrical components. Failure to follow all
electrical safety precautions when exposed to live
electrical components could result in death or serious
injury.

If using existing refrigerant lines make certain that all
joints are brazed, not soldered.

Scroll compressor dome temperatures may be hot. Do
not touch the top of compressor; it may cause minor to
severe burning.

UNIT CONTAINS R-410A REFRIGERANT!
R-410A operating pressures exceed the limit of R-22.
Proper service equipment is required. Failure to use
proper service tools may result in equipment damage
or personal injury.

SERVICE

USE ONLY R-410A REFRIGERANT AND AP-

PROVED POE COMPRESSOR OIL.

Extreme caution should be exercised when opening
the Liquid Line Service Valve. Turn counterclockwise
until the valve stem just touches the rolled edge. No
torque is required. Failure to follow this warning will
result in abrupt release of system charge and may
result in personal injury and /or property damage.

2.4 Cold Climate Considerations

NOTE: It is recommended that these precau­tions be taken for units being installed in areas
where snow accumulation and prolonged below
freezing temperatures occur.

• Units should be elevated 3-12 inches above

the pad or roof top, depending on local
weather. This additional height will allow
drainage of snow and ice melted during
defrost cycle prior to its refreezing. Ensure
that drain holes in unit base pan are not
obstructed preventing draining of defrost
water.

• If possible, avoid locations that are likely to

accumulate snow drifts. If not possible, a
snow drift barrier should be installed around
the unit to prevent a build-up of snow on the
sides of the unit.

For retrofit applications, where the existing
indoor evaporator coil and/or refrigerant lines
will be used, the following precautions should
be taken:

• Ensure that the indoor evaporator coil and

refrigerant lines are the correct size.

• Ensure that the refrigerant lines are free of

leaks, acid, and oil.

Important: For more information see publi­cation numbers SS-APG006-EN and APP­APG011-EN.

Section 6. Refrigerant Line Routing

6.1 Precautions

Important: Take precautions to prevent noise
within the building structure due to vibration
transmission from the refrigerant lines.

For Example:

• When the refrigerant lines have to be fastened to floor joists or other framing in a structure, use isolation type

hangers.

• Isolation hangers should also be used when refrigerant lines are run in stud spaces or enclosed ceilings.

• Where the refrigerant lines run through a wall or sill, they should be insulated and isolated.

• Isolate the lines from all ductwork.

• Minimize the number of 90º turns.

14.3 Subcooling Charging Below 55º F Outdoor Temp. (In Heating Only)

The Subcooling Charging method in cooling is
not recommended below 55º F outdoor tem-

perature.

The only recommended method of charging at
outdoor temperatures below 55º F is weighing

in the charge in heating mode.

STEP 1 - Determine additional charge.

From the nameplate label (shown in Section

12.1), record namplate charge below.

Note: The nameplate charge value represents
the amount of refrigerant shipped in the outdoor
unit and is compatible with 15 feet of AHRI rated
refrigerant lines and the smallest AHRI rated
coil.
