This system cannot be appropriately charged by subcooling. This new charging procedure helps prevent 
over charging. It is important to follow these instructions. You will need to measure the Outdoor Ambient 
temperature, the Suction Line Pressure (PSIG), The Liquid Temperature and the Liquid Pressure. You will charge to 
the MINIMUM Liquid Temperature or Maximum Liquid Line Pressure, whichever is reached first.

This example demonstrates how to obtain your Target (MINIMUM) Liquid Temperature or Maximum Liquid Pressure 
using the instructions and tables provided on the following pages.

Example 

 1.  Identify the chart that applies to your out-

door unit model number.

  2.  Find the Measured Outdoor Ambient 

Temperature along the top of the chart. 
For this example the Measured Outdoor 
Ambient Temperature is 97 ºF.

  3.  Locate the Measured Suction Pressure 

along the left side of the chart. For this 
example the Measured Suction Pressure is 
130 PSIG. 

  4.  Determine the Target (MINIMUM) Liquid 

Temperature at the intersection of the Mea-
sured Suction Pressure and the Measured 
Outdoor Ambient Temperature.

    If intersection falls between two listed 

temperatures on the table you will need to 
estimate.

  5.  Find the Maximum Allowable Liquid Pres-
