4.0 INSTALLATION

4.11 Grounding

Wiring

Start Up

WARNING:

 

The unit must be

permanently grounded. Failure to do so can cause 

electrical shock resulting in severe personal injury or 

death. 

A grounding lug is provided near the line-voltage pow

-

er entrance for a ground wire. 

5.0 SYSTEM START-UP AND REFRIGERANT CHARGING

5.1 System Start-Up

Overview

Once the system hardware and wiring has been

properly installed, the next step is to start the system 

up, verify indoor air-flow, and adjust the refrigerant 

charge.  To assure optimum comfort, efficiency, and 

reliability, it is extremely important to follow the proce

-

dures in this section to assure the indoor air-flow and 

refrigerant charge are correct.  

5.2 Initial Power-Up 

and EcoNet

Communication 

Verification

After all installation steps have been completed, apply 

electrical power to the indoor and outdoor units. The 

EcoNet

TM

 Control Center should be switched to the 

off position initially. Within 45 seconds of power being 

applied, the EcoNet

TM

 Control Center should detect the 

indoor and outdoor units.  A “0” for Standby Mode will 

be displayed on the Variable Speed Outdoor Control 

(VSODC).  

5.3 EcoNet

 Control

Center Set-Up

Follow the set-up instructions included with the

EcoNet

TM

 Control Center prior to starting system.  

Cooling dehumidification must be disabled for indoor 

air-flow verification and refrigerant charging.  The 

indoor air-flow trim adjustment should be set to 0% for 

indoor air-flow verification, but should be adjusted prior 

to refrigerant charging should the application require 

an adjustment to the indoor air-flow.  

IMPORTANT:

  It is recommended to 

wait at least 12 hours after electrical power is applied 

to the outdoor unit before starting the compressor to 

assure any liquid refrigerant inside the compressor 

has been driven out by the compressor stator heat.
