Note On Adding Refrigerant
Air Evacuation
CAUTION
• Refrigerant charging must be performed after wiring, leak testing and vacuuming.
• DO NOT exceed the maximum allowable quantity of refrigerant or overcharge the system.
Doing so can damage the unit or impact it’s functioning.
• Charging with unsuitable substances may cause explosions or accidents. Ensure that the
appropriate refrigerant is used.
• Refrigerant containers must be opened slowly. Always use protective gear when charging
the system.
• DO NOT mix refrigerants types.

Table 9.1 Refrigerant Chart
Directions:
1. Find your condenser model below.
2. Enter lineset length for each connected zone - calculate total.
3. Subtract your unit's pre-charge from the total.
4. If the result is negative, system is fully charged, do nothing.
5. If result is positive. multiply by 0.16.
6 This is how much to add.
