Measurement Method
If a calibrated charging cylinder or accurate weighing device is avail-
able, add refrigerant accordingly.
Check flare caps on service ports to be sure they are leak tight. DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN (between 40 and 60 inch - lbs. maximum).
Subcooling Charging Method
This condensing unit must only be used with the matching thermostatic
expansion valve kit listed in the Tabular Data Sheet. This unit
must
be
charged during
second-stage (Y1 & Y2)
operation only
.
See Table 2
for unit specific subcooling charts.
For mix matched systems, the recommended subcooling is 10°F
1.
Set the system running in the
Second-Stage (Y1 + Y2)
cooling
mode by setting the thermostat at least 6°F below the room tem-
perature.
2.
Operate the system for a minimum of 15-20 minutes.
3.
Refer to the tabular data sheet for the recommended airflow and
verify this indoor airflow (it should be about 400 SCFM per ton).
4.
Measure the liquid refrigerant pressure P and temperature T at the
service valve.
5.
Calculate the saturated liquid temperature ST from Table 1.
6.
Subcooling temperature TC = Saturated Temperature (ST) - Liquid
Temp (T).
Add charge if the calculated subcooling temperature TC in Step 6 is
lower than the recommended level. Remove and recover the refrigerant
if the subcooling TC is higher than the recommended level. See Table 1
for R-410A saturation temperatures.
SECTION VIII: SYSTEM START-UP
INDICATIONS OF PROPER OPERATION
Cooling
1.
The outdoor fan should be running, with warm air being dis-
charged from the top of the unit.
2.
The indoor blower (furnace or air handler) will be operating, dis-
charging cool air from the ducts. Coils or other parts in the air cir-
cuit should be cleaned as often as necessary to keep the unit
clean. Use a brush, vacuum cleaner attachment, or other suitable
means.
3.
The vapor line at the outdoor unit will feel cool to the touch.
4.
The liquid line at the outdoor unit will feel warm to the touch.
Instructing the Owner
Assist owner with processing warranty cards and/or online registration.
Review Owners Manual, provide a copy to the owner, and provide guid-
ance on proper operation and maintenance. Instruct the owner or the
operator how to start, stop, and adjust temperature setting.
The installer should also instruct the owner on proper operation and
maintenance of all other system components.
Maintenance
1.
Dirt should not be allowed to accumulate on the outdoor coils or
other parts in the air circuit. Clean as often as necessary to keep
the unit clean. Use a brush, vacuum cleaner attachment, or other
suitable means.
2.
The outdoor fan motor is permanently lubricated and does not
require periodic oiling.
NOTE:
The outdoor fan motor is a permanent magnet DC brushless
type. The motor requires a separate Electronic Control to oper-
ate. Do not attempt to replace this motor with a typical PSC
type. Damage to Electronic Control may result.
3.
If the coil needs to be cleaned, it should be washed with Calgon
Coilclean (mix one part Coilclean to seven parts water). Allow
solution to remain on coil for 30 minutes before rinsing with clean
water. Solution should not be permitted to come in contact with
painted surfaces.
4.
Refer to the furnace or air handler instructions for filter and blower
motor maintenance.
5.
The indoor coil and drain pan should be inspected and cleaned
regularly to prevent odors and assure proper drainage.
Refrigerant charging should only be carried out by a qualified air
conditioning contractor.
Compressor damage will occur if system is improperly charged. On
new system installations, charge system per tabular data sheet for
the matched coil and follow guidelines in this instruction.
Example: The pressure P and temperature T measured at the liquid
service port is 360 Psig and 93°F. From Table 1, the saturated tem-
perature for 360 Psig is 109°. The subcooling temperature TC =
109°-93°=16°F
IT IS UNLAWFUL TO KNOWINGLY VENT, RELEASE OR DIS-
CHARGE REFRIGERANT INTO THE OPEN AIR DURING
REPAIR, SERVICE, MAINTENANCE OR THE FINAL DIS-
POSAL OF THIS UNIT.
WHEN THE SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND
THE OWNER HAS BEEN FULLY INSTRUCTED, SECURE
THE OWNER’S APPROVAL.
