GROUND INSTALLATION
The unit may be installed at ground level on a solid base that will not
shift or settle, causing strain on the refrigerant lines and possible leaks.
Maintain the clearances shown in Figure 1 and install the unit in a level
position.
Normal operating sound levels may be objectionable if the unit is placed
directly under windows of certain rooms (bedrooms, study, etc.).
Condensate will drain from beneath the coil of the outdoor unit during
the defrost cycle. Normally this condensate may be allowed to drain
directly on the ground.
Elevate the unit sufficiently to prevent any blockage of the air entrances
by snow in areas where there will be snow accumulation. Check the
local weather bureau for the expected snow accumulation in your area.
Isolate the unit from rain gutters to avoid any possible wash out of the
foundation.
ROOF INSTALLATION
When installing units on a roof, the structure must be capable of sup-
porting the total weight of the unit, including a pad, lintels, rails, etc.,
which should be used to minimize the transmission of sound or vibra-
tion into the conditioned space.
UNIT PLACEMENT
1.
Provide a base in the pre-determined location.
2.
Remove the shipping carton and inspect for possible damage.
3.
Compressor tie-down bolts should remain tightened.
4.
Position the unit on the base provided.
NOTE:
Heat pumps will defrost periodically resulting in water drainage.
The unit should not be located where water drainage may freeze and
create a hazardous condition - such as sidewalks and steps.
LIQUID LINE FILTER-DRIER
The heat pumps have a solid core bi-flow filter/dryer located on the liq-
uid line.
NOTE: Replacements for the liquid line drier must be exactly the same
as marked on the original factory drier. See
Source 1 for O.E.M.
replacement driers.
PIPING CONNECTIONS
The outdoor unit must be connected to the indoor coil using field sup-
plied refrigerant grade copper tubing that is internally clean and dry.
Units should be installed only with the tubing sizes for approved system
combinations as specified in Tabular Data Sheet. The charge given is
applicable for total tubing lengths up to 15 feet. See Application Data
Part Number 347077 for installing tubing of longer lengths and elevation
differences.
NOTE:
Using a larger than specified line size could result in oil return
problems. Using too small a line will result in loss of capacity and other
problems caused by insufficient refrigerant flow. Slope horizontal vapor
lines at least 1" every 20 feet toward the outdoor unit to facilitate proper
oil return.

The outdoor unit should not be installed in an area where mud or
ice could cause personal injury. Remember that condensate will
drip from the unit coil during heat and defrost cycles and that this
condensate will freeze when the temperature of the outdoor air is
below 32°F.
Failure to do so or using a substitute drier or a granular type may
result in damage to the equipment.

All Sizes
This system uses R-410A refrigerant which operates at higher pres-
sures than R-22. No other refrigerant may be used in this system.
Gauge sets, hoses, refrigerant containers, and recovery system
must be designed to handle R-410A. If you are unsure, consult the
equipment manufacturer.
Never install a suction-line filter drier in the liquid line of an R-410A
system. Failure to follow this warning can cause a fire, injury or
death.
