Pre-Installation 

 

 

 

This Hybrid Cooling Module (HCM) is pre-programed using A-419 temperature controllers. A 
sensor connector is pre-installed in the HCM cabinet and the sensor is to be placed on the liquid 
line. This allows for temperature-based fan control: the HCM cycles on when the liquid line 
temperature reaches 110

F and cycle off once when the liquid line temperature drops to 105

F. 

This temperature range is high enough to keep the Cooling Assist Valve closed and low enough 
to keep the head pressure down when needed.

 

If the HCM is installed as a retrofit, the refrigerant charge in the existing system must be 
recovered before HCM installation. Use new refrigerant to recharge the system. 

Application of the Hybrid Cooling Module (HCM) to EarthLinked

®

 systems will require the 

use of two (2) field supplied Type ACR copper couplings to match the HCM with the line 
set vapor tube size.  

See the table below to determine the required coupling sizes.

IMPORTANT! 

This EarthLinked® Hybrid Cooling Module (HCM) is for use with EarthLinked® 
space heating and cooling systems that provide cooling. The HCM is a required 
component of the EarthLinked® systems where indicated in the EarthLinked® 
Performance Tables for R-410A systems. 

WARNING! 

Before installing this Hybrid Cooling Module (HCM), be sure that all 
electrical power to the EarthLinked® system is “OFF”. Wear adequate 
protective clothing and practice all applicable safety precautions 
when installing this equipment. Failure to do so may result in 
equipment and/or property damage, personal injury or death.
