WARNING

UNIT OPERATION AND SAFETY HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal

injury or equipment damage.
R

410A refrigerant systems operate at higher

pressures than standard R

22 systems.  Do not use

R

22 service equipment or components on R

410A

refrigerant equipment.

PERSONAL INJURY AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution  may result in personal

injury and / or equipment damage.

DO NOT

 operate the unit without a filter or with grille

removed.

CAUTION

!

Step 1

 —

Complete Pre

Installation Checks

Unpack Unit

Move the unit to final location. Remove unit from carton,

being careful not to damage service valves and grilles.

Inspect Shipment

File a claim with the shipping company if shipment is

damaged or incomplete. Check the unit nameplates to

ensure units match job requirements.

Consider System Requirements

Consult local building codes and NEC for special installation

requirements.
Allow sufficient space for airflow clearance, wiring,

refrigerant piping, and servicing unit. See Figure 3.
Locate unit so that condenser airflow is unrestricted on both

sides. Refer to Figure 3.
Unit may be mounted on a level pad directly on base legs or

mounted on raised pads at support points. See Figure 3 for

center of gravity.

Matching the Heat Pump to an Indoor Unit

The HC4H3 ducted heat pump units can be matched to

corresponding indoor units. The HC4H3 unit can be

matched with underceiling and residential fan coils and

evaporator coils. Refer to separate indoor unit literature for

more information.

Expansion Device 

 Cooling Mode

A hard shutoff, thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) is

required at the indoor section of the system for proper

operation of these products.  If the indoor section of the

system is not equipped with a hard shutoff TXV, refer to

Spec Sheet for the correct TXV kit to be installed.  Follow

the instructions in the kit for proper installation.

Check AccuRater Metering Device 

 Heating Mode

The correct AccuRater (bypass type) refrigerant control is

required for system capacity optimization. An AccuRater

device with field

replaceable piston  is supplied with the

outdoor unit (see Figure 2).

Do not

 interchange components between the AccuRater

device types. Matching of outdoor unit with indoor unit may

require field replacement of piston. Replace piston, if

required, before connecting refrigerant lines. See Figure 2.

Piston replacement instructions are included in the indoor

unit installation instructions. After system installation is

complete, see the Refrigerant Charging section in this

document  to check and/or adjust refrigerant charge.
