• R-410A systems are to be charged with liquid refrigerants. Prior to March 1999, R-
410A refrigerant cylinders had a dip tube. These cylinders should be kept upright for
equipment charging. Post March 1999 cylinders do not have a dip tube and should
be inverted to ensure liquid charging of the equipment.
• Do not install a suction line filter drier in the liquid line.
• A liquid line filter drier is standard on every unit.
• Desiccant (drying agent) must be compatible for POE oils and R-410A.
3. Evaporator Coil / TXV
The thermostatic expansion valve is specifically designed to operate with R-410A.
DO
NOT use an R-22 TXV. The existing evaporator must be replaced with the factory
specified TXV evaporator specifically designed for R-410A.

V. EQUIPMENT PROTECTION FROM THE
ENVIRONMENT
The metal parts of this unit may be subject to rust or deterioration in adverse environ-
mental conditions. This oxidation could shorten the equipment’s useful life. Salt spray,
fog or mist in seacoast areas, sulphur or chlorine from lawn watering systems, and vari-
ous chemical contaminants from industries such as paper mills and petroleum refineries
are especially corrosive.
If the unit is to be installed in an area where contaminants are likely to be a prob-
lem, special attention should be given to the equipment location and exposure.
1. Avoid having lawn sprinkler heads spray direction on the unit cabinet.
2. In coastal areas, locate the unit on the side of the building away from the waterfront.
3. Shielding provided by a fence or shrubs may give some protection.
Regular maintenance will reduce the buildup of contaminents and help to protect
the unit’s finish.
1. Frequent washing of the cabinet, fan blade and coil with fresh water will remove
most of the salt or other contaminants that build up on the unit.
2. Regular cleaning and waxing of the cabinet with a good automobile polish will pro-
vide some protection.
3. A good liquid cleaner may be used several times a year to remove matter that will
not wash off with water.
Several different types of protective coatings are offered in some areas. These coatings
may provide some benefit, but the effectiveness of such coating materials cannot be ver-
ified by the equipment manufacturer.
The best protection is frequent cleaning, maintenance and minimal exposure to
contaminants.
!
CAUTION
R-410A systems operate at higher pressures than R-22 systems. Do not use
R-22 service equipment or components on R-410A equipment.

WARNING
DISCONNECT ALL POWER TO THE UNIT BEFORE STARTING MAINTE-
NANCE. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SEVERE ELECTRICAL
SHOCK OR DEATH.
