INSPECTION

As soon as a unit is received, it should be inspected for possible dam-
age during transit. If damage is evident, the extent of the damage
should be noted on the carrier’s delivery receipt. A separate request for
inspection by the carrier’s agent should be made in writing. See Local
Distributor for more information.

Requirements For Installing/Servicing R-410A Equipment

Gauge sets, hoses, refrigerant containers, and recovery system
must be designed to handle the POE type oils, and the higher
pressures of R-410A.

Manifold sets should be 800 psig high side and 250 psig low side
with 550 psig low side restart.

All hoses must have a 700 psig service pressure rating.

Leak detectors should be designed to detect HFC refrigerant.

Recovery equipment (including refrigerant recovery containers)
must be specifically designed to handle R-410A.

Do not use an R-22 TXV.

A liquid-line filter drier is required on every unit.

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 assure a system that will give maximum performance
with minimum service.

4.

This unit is not designed to operate with a low ambient kit. Do not
modify the control system to operate with any kind of low ambient
kit.

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, for air discharge and for service access. See Figure 1.

NOTE: 

For multiple unit installations, units must be spaced a minimum

of 18 inches apart. (Coil face to coil face.)

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-22 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.
