Johnson Controls Unitary Products
LIMITATIONS
The unit should be installed in accordance with all National, State and
Local Safety Codes and the limitations listed below:
1.
Limitations for the indoor unit, coil, and appropriate accessories
must also be observed.
2.
The outdoor unit must not be installed with any duct work in the air
stream. The outdoor fan is the propeller type and is not designed
to operate against any additional external static pressure.
3.
The maximum and minimum conditions for operation must be
observed to ensure a system that will give maximum performance
with minimum service.
4.
The unit should not be operated at outdoor temperatures below
50°F without an approved low ambient operation accessory kit
installed.
5.
The maximum allowable line length for this product is 75 feet.
SECTION III: UNIT INSTALLATION
LOCATION
Before starting the installation, select and check the suitability of the
location for both the indoor and outdoor unit. Observe all limitations and
clearance requirements.
The outdoor unit must have sufficient clearance for air entrance to the
condenser coil, air discharge, and service access. See Figure 1.
If the unit is to be installed on a hot sun exposed roof or a black-topped
ground area, the unit should be raised sufficiently above the roof or
ground to avoid taking the accumulated layer of hot air into the outdoor
unit.
Provide an adequate structural support.
ADD-ON REPLACEMENT/RETROFIT
When this unit is being used as a replacement for an R-410A unit, it is
required that the outdoor unit, indoor coil, and metering device all be
replaced. The following steps should be performed in order to insure
proper system operation and performance. Line-set change out is also
recommended.
1.
Change-out of the indoor coil to an approved R-410A coil/ con-
densing unit combination with the appropriate metering device.
2.
Change-out of the line-set when replacing an R-22 unit with an
R410-A unit is highly recommended to reduce cross-contamina-
tion of oils and refrigerants.
3.
If change-out of the line set is not practical, then the following pre-
cautions should be taken.
•
Inspect the line set for kinks, sharp bends, or other restrictions,
and for corrosion.
•
Determine if there are any low spots which might be serving as oil
traps.
•
Flush the line set with a commercially available flush kit to
remove as much of the existing oil and contaminants as possible.
•
Install a suction line filter-drier to trap any remaining contami-
nants, and remove after 50 hours of operation.
4.
If the outdoor unit is being replaced due to a compressor burnout,
then installation of a 100% activated alumina suction-line filter
drier in the suction-line is required, in addition to the factory
installed liquid-line drier. Operate the system for 10 hours. Monitor
the suction drier pressure drop. If the pressure drop exceeds 3
psig, replace both the suction-line and liquid-line driers. After a
total of 10 hours run time where the suction-line pressure drop has
not exceeded 3 psig, replace the liquid line drier, and remove the
suction-line drier. Never leave a suction-line drier in the system
longer than 50 hours of run time.
