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.
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.
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
The following steps should be performed in order to insure proper sys-
tem operation and performance.
1.
Change-out the indoor coil, if required, to an approved R-22 coil/
condensing unit combination with the appropriate metering device.
2.
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.
GROUND INSTALLATION
The unit should be installed on a solid base that is 2” above grade and
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. The base pad should not come in contact with the foun-
dation or side of the structure because sound may be transmitted to the
residence.
The length of the refrigerant tubing between the outdoor unit and indoor
coil should be as short as possible to avoid capacity and efficiency
losses. Excessive spacing of the outdoor unit from the home can result
in the refrigerant lines being restricted by trampling or being punctured
by lawn mowers. Locate the outdoor unit away from bedroom windows
or other rooms where sound might be objectionable.
Adverse effects of snow or sleet accumulating on the outdoor coil can
be eliminated by placing the outdoor unit where the prevailing wind
does not blow across the unit. Trees, shrubs, corners of buildings, and
fences standing off from the coil can reduce capacity loss due to wind
chill effect.
Provide ample clearance from shrubs to allow adequate air to pass
across the outdoor coil without leaves or branches being pulled into the
coil.
