CAUTION

UNIT MAY START SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING
Solid red light indicates a thermostat call for unit operation is present at
the ICC control. ICC control will attempt to start unit after short cycle timer
expires or when in Active Protection mode will attempt to restart unit prior
to Lockout mode.

CAUTION

UNIT MAY START SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING
Solid red light indicates a thermostat call for unit operation is present at the
ICC. ICC will attempt to start unit after short cycle timer expires or when in
Active Protection mode will attempt to restart unit prior to Lockout mode.

!

CAUTION

THE TOP OF THE SCROLL COMPRESSOR SHELL IS HOT. TOUCHING THE
COMPRESSOR TOP MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

!

CAUTION

R-410A PRESSURES ARE APPROXIMATELY 60% HIGHER THAN R-22
PRESSURES. USE APPROPRIATE CARE WHEN USING THIS REFRIGER-
ANT. FAILURE TO EXERCISE CARE MAY RESULT IN EQUIPMENT DAM-
AGE, OR PERSONAL INJURY.

!

CAUTION

THE COMPRESSOR HAS AN INTERNAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR. UNDER
SOME CONDITIONS, IT CAN TAKE UP TO 2 HOURS FOR THIS OVERLOAD
TO RESET. MAKE SURE OVERLOAD HAS HAD TIME TO RESET BEFORE
CONDEMNING THE COMPRESSOR.

!

CAUTION

Only use evaporators approved for use on R-410A systems. Use of existing
R-22 evaporators can introduce mineral oil to the R-410A refrigerant form-
ing two different liquids and decreasing oil return to the compressor. This
can result in compressor failure.

!

CAUTION

When coil is installed over a finished ceiling and/or living area, it is
recommended that a secondary sheet metal condensate pan be
constructed and installed under entire unit. Failure to do so can result
in property damage.

!

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.
