The outdoor units are completely piped and wired at the fac-
tory and are shipped ready for immediate installation. Only
the interconnecting liquid and suction lines, sight glasses,
control wiring, and the main power wiring are required to
complete the installation. Every unit is dehydrated, evacu
ated, leak tested and pressure tested at 450 psig before be
ing pressurized with a holding charge of refrigerant-22 for
shipment and/or storage.
To eliminate the costly cabinet deterioration problems usually
associated with outdoor equipment, all sheet metal parts are
constructed of commercial grade (G90) galvanized steel. Af
ter fabrication, each part is thoroughly cleaned to remove
any grease or dirt from its surfaces. The parts that will be
exposed to the weather are then coated with a “desert sand”
powder paint to assure a quality finish for many years. This
coating system has passed the 750-hour, salt spray test per
ASTM Standard B117.
Every unit includes 2 heavy-duty scroll compressors, 2 suc
tion line accumulators, 2 4-way reversing valves with a 24
volt solenoid, 2 outdoor fan motors with inherent protection,
and a copper tube/aluminum fin coil that is positioned verti
cally for better drainage of the water that will condense on it
during the heating cycle.
They also include 2 filter driers, 2 expansion valves and dis
tributors that are only used during the heating cycle plus a
check valve to provide the proper flow of refrigerant through
the unit during both the cooling and heating cycles.
All controls are located in the front of the unit and are readily
accessible for maintenance, adjustment and service. All wir-
ing (Power and Control) can be made through the front of
the unit.

LOCATION
Use the following guidelines to select a suitable location for
GROUND LEVEL LOCATIONS
The units must be installed on a substantial base that will not
settle. Any strain on the refrigerant lines may cause a refriger
antleak. Aone-piececoncrete slabwith footersthat extendbe
low the frost line is recommended. The slab should not be tied
tothe buildingfoundation becausenoise and vibrationwill tele
graph.
A unit can also be supported by concrete piers. These piers
should:(1) extend below the frostline, (2) be located underthe
unit's four corners and (3) be sized to carry the entire unit
weight. Refer to Figure 1 and Table 2 for the center of gravity
and unit weight.
Agravel bed or some other means of handling the condensate
thatwill drop fromthe underside ofthe unit coil duringthe heat
ing and defrost cycles may have to be provided.

2. The outdoor and indoor units should be installed as close
together as possible and with a minimum number of bends
in the refrigerant piping. Refer to REFRIGERANT PIPING
for additional information.
3. The outdoor unit should not be installed beneath windows
orbetween structureswhere normal operating sounds may
be objectionable.
WARNING: The outdoor unit should not be installed in an area
wheremud and/or ice could causepersonal injury.
Remember that condensate will drip from the un
dersideof the unit coilsduring heat and defrost cy
cles and that this condensate will freeze when the
temperature of the outdoor air is below 32°F.

POWER AND CONTROL WIRING
Install electrical wiring in accordance with the latest National
Electrical Code (NFPAStandard No. 70) and/or local regulations. The unit should be grounded in accordance with these
codes.
POWER WIRING
Check the voltage of the power supply against the data on
the unit nameplate. Check the size of the power wire, the
disconnect switch and the fuses against the data in Table 3.
NOTE: Copper conductors must be installed between the dis
connect switch and the unit.
Refer to Figure 4 for the location of the power wire access
opening through the front of the unit. This opening will re
quire a field-supplied conduit fitting.
The field-supplied disconnect switch must be suitable for an
outdoor location. Although it should be installed near the unit,
do NOT
secure it to the unit cabinet.
Refer to Figure 3 for typical field wiring.
CONTROL WIRING
Refer to Figure 4 for the location of the control wire access
opening through the front of the unit.
Route the necessary low voltage control wires from terminal
block TB2 of the unit control box through this access open
ing to the indoor unit and to the room thermostat. Refer to
Figure 3 for typical field wiring.
The room thermostat should be mounted about 5 feet above
the floor and located where it will be exposed to normal room
air circulation. Do not locate it on an outside wall, near a
supply air grille, or where it may be affected by sunlight
