Safety 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 connec- tion 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 sys- tem. 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 or APP-APG012-EN. 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 APPROVED 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. LIVE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS! During installation, testing, servicing, and trouble- shooting 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. 11-BC38D1-5C-EN Section 2.

Properly selected isolation is recommended to alleviate sound or vibration transmission to the building structure. 2.2 Refrigerant Piping Limits 1. The maximum TOTAL length of refrigerant lines from outdoor to indoor unit should NOT exceed 150 feet (including lift). 2. The maximum vertical change should not exceed 50 feet. 3. Service valve connection diameters are shown in Table 5.1. Note: For other line lengths, Refer to Refriger- ant Piping Application Guide, SS-APGO06-EN or Refrigerant Piping Software Program, 32- 3312-03 (or latest revision). Standard Line Set 150' Max TOTAL Line Length 11-BC38D1-5C-EN 3 2.3 Suggested Locations for Best Reliability Ensure the top discharge area is unrestricted for at least five (5) feet above the unit. Three (3) feet clearance must be provided in front of the control box (access panels) and any other side requiring service. It is not recommended to install in a location where noise may distract the building occu- pants. Some examples of these types of loca- tions are sleeping quarters and by windows of a living area. Please discuss location with the building owner prior to installation. Avoid locations such as near windows where condensation and freezing defrost vapor can annoy a customer. Position the outdoor unit a minimum of 12" from any wall or surrounding shrubbery to ensure adequate airflow. Outdoor unit location must be far enough away from any structure to prevent excess roof runoff water or icicles from falling directly on the unit. 2.4 Cold Climate Considerations NOTE: It is recommended that these precau- tions 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 rooftop, 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.

Always verify proper system charge via subcooling (TXWEEV) or superheat (fixed orifice) per the unit nameplate. 5.3 Required Refrigerant Line Length Determine required line length and lift. You will need this later in STEP 2 of Section 14. Total Line Length = Ft. Total Vertical Change (lift) = Ft. 5.4 Refrigerant Line Insulation Important: The Vapor Line must always be insulated. DO NOT allow the Liquid Line and Vapor Line to come in direct (metal to metal) contact. Liquid Line Vapor Line Insulation 11-BC38D1-5C-EN 5.5 Reuse Existing Refrigerant Lines If using existing refrigerant lines make certain that all joints are brazed, not soldered. 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 publica- tion number SS-APG006-EN. Section 6. Refrigerant Line Routing 6.1 Precautions Important: Take precautions to prevent noise Comply with National, State, and Local Codes when within the building structure due to vibration isolating line sets from joists, rafters, walls, or other transmission from the refrigerant lines. structural elements. 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 902 turns. 8 Feet Maximum / Joist/Rafter 0 0 0 0 Isolator 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 O=01 0 Side View I 8 Feet Maximum Line Set Secure Vapor line from joists using isolators every 8 ft.

Refrigerant Line Brazing 7.1 Braze The Refrigerant Lines STEP 1 - Remove caps or plugs. Use a debur- ing tool to debur the pipe ends. Clean both internal and external surfaces of the tubing using an emery cloth. DO NOT hang line sets from ductwork 8 11-BC38D1-5C-EN STEP 2 - Remove the pressure tap cap and valve cores from both service valves. STEP 3 - Purge the refrigerant lines and indoor coil with dry nitrogen. STEP 4 - Wrap a wet rag around the valve body to avoid heat damage and continue the dry nitro- gen purge. Braze the refrigerant lines to the service valves. For units shipped with a field -installed external drier, check liquid line filter drier's directional flow arrow to confirm correct direction of refrigeration flow (away from outdoor unit and toward evapo- rator coil) as illustrated. Braze the filter drier to the Liquid Line. Continue the dry nitrogen purge. Do not remove the wet rag until all brazing is completed. Important: Remove the wet rag before stopping the dry nitrogen purge. Note: Install drier in Liquid Line. NOTE: Precautions should be taken to avoid heat damage to basepan during brazing. It is recommended to keep the flame directly off of the basepan. o 3-4"from valve e �e e e, 11-BC38D1-5C-EN 9 STEP 5 - Replace the pressure tap valve cores after the service valves have cooled. Section 8. Refrigerant Line Leak Check 8.1 Check For Leaks STEP 1 - Pressurize the refrigerant lines and evaporator coil to 150 PSIG using dry nitrogen. STEP 2 - Check for leaks by using a soapy solu- tion or bubbles at each brazed location. Remove nitrogren pressure and repair any leaks before continuing. 150 PSIG 10 11-13C38D1-K-EN Section 9. Evacuation 9.1 Evacuate the Refrigerant Lines and Indoor Coil Important: Do not open the service valves until the refrigerant lines and indoor coil leak check and evacuation are complete. STEP 1 - Evacuate until the micron gauge reads no higher than 350 microns, then close off the valve to the vacuum pump. STEP 2 - Observe the micron gauge. Evacuation is complete if the micron gauge does not rise above 500 microns in one (1) minute. Once evacuation is complete blank off the vacuum pump and micron gauge, and close the valves on the manifold gauge set. Section 10.

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 Pres- sure is higher than the chart value. STEP 7 - Stabilize the system. 1. Wait 20 minutes for the system condi- tion 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.

(In Heating Only) The Subcooling Charging method in cooling is not recommended below 552 F outdoor tem- perature. The only recommended method of charging at outdoor temperatures below 552 F is weighing in the charge in heating mode. STEP 1 - Determine additional charge. Note: The nameplate charge value represents the amount of refrigerant shipped in the outdoor unit and is compatible with 10 feet of AHRI rated refrigerant lines and the smallest AHRI rated coil. Using the method below, find the charge associ- ated with the additional length of tubing above 10 ft. and record it below. Calculating Charge Using the Weigh -In Method STEP 1 - Measure in feet the distance between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit. (Include the entire length of the line from the service valve to the IDU.) Subtract 10 ft from this entire length and record on line 1. STEP 2- Enter the charge multiplier (0.6 oz/ft). Each linear foot of interconnecting tubing requires the addi- tion of 0.6 oz 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. °F PSIG PSIG 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. 1.

At startup, or whenever charge is removed or added, the system must be operated for a mini- mum of 20 minutes to stabilize before accurate measurements can be made. STEP 3 - Check the liquid line temperature and liquid gage pressure to obtain a minimum of 102 subcooling in heating mode. Measured Liquid Line Temp = ° F Liquid Gage Pressure = PSIG STEP 4 - Add charge if a minimum of 10° sub - cooling is not obtained with the namplate charge plus additional charge previously added. STEP 5 - Return to site for adjustment. Important: Return in the spring or summer to accurately charge the system in the cooling mode with outdoor ambient above 550 F. 11-BC38D1-5C-EN 23 Section 15. Checkout Procedures and Troubleshooting 15.1 Operational And Checkout Procedures Final phases of this installation are the unit Operational and Checkout Procedures. To obtain proper performance, all units must be operated and charge adjustments made. Important: Perform a final unit inspection to be sure that factory tubing has not shifted during shipment. Adjust tubing if nec- essary so tubes do not rub against each other when the unit runs. Also be sure that wiring connections are tight and properly secured.
