Safety

WARNING
This information is intended for use by individuals possessing adequate backgrounds of electrical and mechanical experience. Any attempt to repair a central air conditioning product may result in personal injury and/or property damage. The manufacture or seller cannot be responsible for the interpretation of this information, nor can it assume any liability in connection with its use.
WARNING
These units use R-410A refrigerant which operates at 50 to 70% higher pressures than R-22. Use only 410A approved service equipment. Refrigerant cylinders are painted a “Rose” color to indicate the type of refrigerant and may contain a “dip” tube to allow for charging of liquid refrigerant into the system. All R-410A systems use a POE oil that readily absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. To limit this “hygroscopic” action, the system should remain sealed whenever possible. If a system has been open to the atmosphere for more than 4 hours, the compressor oil must be replaced. Never break a vacuum with air and always change the driers when opening the system for component replacement. For specific handling concerns with R-410A and POE oil reference Retrofit Bulletins SS-APG006-EN and APP-APG011-EN or APP-APG012-EN.

• Weight values are estimated.

Refrigerant Piping Limits

1. The maximum TOTAL length of refrigerant lines from outdoor to indoor unit should NOT exceed 150 feet* (including lift).
2. The maximum vertical change should not exceed 50 feet*.
3. Standard and alternate line sizes and service valve connection sizes.

Note: For other line lengths, Refer to Refrigerant Piping Application Guide, SS-APG006-EN or Refrigerant Piping Software Program, 32-3312-xx (latest revision).

Suggested Locations for Best Reliability

• Ensure the top discharge area is unrestricted for at least five (5) feet above the unit.
• Three (3) feet clearance must be provided in front of the control box (access panels) and any other side requiring service.
• It is not recommended to install in a location where noise may distract the building occu-pants. Some examples of these types of loca-tions are sleeping quarters and by windows of a living area. Please discuss location with the building owner prior to installation.
• Avoid locations such as near windows where condensation and freezing defrost vapor can annoy a customer.
• Position the outdoor unit a minimum of 12” from any wall or surrounding shrubbery to ensure adequate airflow.
• Outdoor unit location must be far enough away from any structure to prevent excess roof runoff water or icicles from falling directly on the unit.

Cold Climate Considerations

NOTE: It is recommended that these precautions be taken for units being installed in areas where snow accumulation and prolonged below freezing temperatures occur.

• Units should be elevated 3-12 inches above the pad or roof top, depending on local weather. This additional height will allow drainage of snow and ice melted during defrost cycle prior to its refreezing. Ensure that drain holes in unit base pan are not
  obstructed preventing draining of defrost water.

• If possible, avoid locations that are likely to accumulate snow drifts. If not possible, a snow drift barrier should be installed around the unit to prevent a build-up of snow on the sides of the unit.

Coastal Considerations
If installed within one mile of salt water, including seacoasts and inland waterways, models without factory sup-plied Seacoast Salt Shields require the addition of BAYSEAC001 (Seacoast Kit) at installation time.

Unit Preparation

Prepare The Unit For Installation

• STEP 1
  Check for damage and report promptly to the carrier any damage found to the unit.

• STEP 2
  To remove the unit from the pallet, remove tabs by cutting with a sharp tool.

Setting the Unit

Pad Installation

When installing the unit on a support pad, such as a concrete slab, consider the following:

• The pad should be at least 1” larger than the unit on all sides.
• The pad must be separate from any structure.
• The pad must be level.
• The pad should be high enough above grade to allow for drainage.
• The pad location must comply with National, State, and Local codes.

For other applications refer to application guide.

Important: The Vapor Line must always be insulated. DO NOT allow the Liquid Line and Vapor Line to come in direct (metal to metal) contact.

Reuse Existing Refrigerant Lines\

CAUTION
If using existing refrigerant lines make certain that all joints are brazed, not soldered.
For retrofit applications, where the existing indoor evaporator coil and/or refrigerant lines will be used, the following precautions should be taken:

• Ensure that the indoor evaporator coil and refrigerant lines are the correct size.
• Ensure that the refrigerant lines are free of leaks, acid, and oil.

Refrigerant Line Routing

Precautions
Important: Take precautions to prevent noise within the building structure due to vibration transmission from the refrigerant lines.
Comply with National, State, and Local Codes when isolating line sets from joists, rafters, walls, or other structural elements.
For Example:

•  When the refrigerant lines have to be fastened to floor joists or other framing in a structure, use isolation type hangers.
•  Isolation hangers should also be used when refrigerant lines are run in stud spaces or enclosed ceilings.
•  Where the refrigerant lines run through a wall or sill, they should be insulated and isolated.
•  Isolate the lines from all ductwork.
•  Minimize the number of 90º turns.
  

Secure Vapor line from joists using isolators every 8 ft. Secure Liquid Line directly to Vapor line using tape, wire, or other appropriate method every 8 ft.
Secure Vapor Line using isolators every 8 ft. Secure Liquid Line directly to Vapor Line using tape, wire, or other appropriate method every 8 ft.

• STEP 2 :
  Remove the pressure tap cap and valve cores from both service valves.

• STEP 3 :
  Purge the refrigerant lines and indoor coil with dry nitrogen.

• STEP 4:
  Wrap a wet rag around the valve body to avoid heat damage and continue the dry nitro-gen purge.
  Braze the refrigerant lines to the service valves. For units shipped with a field-installed external drier, check liquid line filter drier’s directional flow arrow to confirm correct direction of refrigeration flow (away from outdoor unit and toward evaporator coil) as illustrated. Braze the filter drier to the Liquid Line. Continue the dry nitrogen purge. Do not remove the wet rag until all brazing is completed.
  Important: Remove the wet rag before stopping the dry nitrogen purge.
  Note: Install drier in Liquid Line.
  Precautions should be taken to avoid heat damage to basepan during brazing. It is recommended to keep the flame directly off of the base pan.

• STEP 5: Replace the pressure tap valve cores after the service valves have cooled.

Refrigerant Line Leak Check

Check For Leaks

• STEP 1:
  Pressurize the refrigerant lines and evaporator coil to 150 PSIG using dry nitrogen.

• STEP 2:
  Check for leaks by using a soapy solution or bubbles at each brazed location.

Remove nitrogren pressure and repair any leaks before continuing.

Evacuation

Evacuate the Refrigerant Lines and Indoor Coil

Important: Do not open the service valves until the refrigerant lines and indoor coil leak check and evacuation are complete.

• STEP 1:
  Evacuate until the micron gauge reads no higher than 350 microns, then close off the valve to the vacuum pump.

• STEP 2:
  Observe the micron gauge. Evacuation is complete if the micron gauge does not rise above 500 microns in one (1) minute.
  Once evacuation is complete blank off the vacuum pump and micron gauge, and close the valves on the manifold gauge set.

Use these temperatures to locate the target superheat on the charging table. Do not attempt to charge the system if these conditions fall outside of this charging table.
ADD refrigerant to DECREASE total superheat. REMOVE refrigerant to INCREASE total superheat. Always allow 10 to 15 minutes of operature after any refrigerant or air flow change prior to determining the final superheat.

• STEP 9 – Record System Information for refer-ence.
  Record system pressures and temperatures after charging is complete.
  Outdoor model number = _____
  Measured Outdoor Ambient = __ º F
  Measured Indoor Ambient = __ º F
  Measured Liquid Line Temp = __ º F
  Measured Suction Line Temp = __ º F
  Liquid Gage Pressure = __ PSIG
  Suction Gage Pressure = __ PSIG

Sub cooling Charging Below 55º F Outdoor Temp.
The Sub cooling Charging method in cooling is not recommended below 55º F outdoor temperature.
The recommended method of charging at outdoor temperatures below 55º F is weighing in the charge. Return when weather conditions permit charge verification through sub cooling.

• STEP 1 – Determine additional charge.
  Note: The nameplate charge value represents the amount of refrigerant shipped in the outdoor unit and is compatible with 10 feet of AHRI rated refrigerant lines and the smallest AHRI rated coil.
  Using the method below, find the charge associated with the additional length of tubing above 10 ft. and record it below.
  Weigh-In Method can be used for the initial installation, or anytime a system charge is being replaced. Weigh-In Method can also be used when power is not available to the equipment site or operating conditions (indoor/outdoor temperatures) are not in range to verify with the subcooling charging method.
  Calculating Charge Using the Weigh-In Method

  • Measure in feet the distance between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit. (Include the entire length of the line from the service valve to the IDU.) Subtract 10 ft from this entire length and record on line 1.
  • Enter the charge multiplier (0.6 oz/ft). Each linear foot of interconnecting tubing requires the addition of 0.6 oz of refrigerant.
  • Multiply the total length of refrigerant tubing (Line 1) times the value on Step 2. Record the result on Line 3 of the Worksheet.
  • This is the amount of refrigerant to weigh-in prior to opening the service valves.
  • Total Line length (ft.) – 10 ft. __
  • Charge multiplier  x _0.6 oz. ___
  • Step 1 x Step 2  = _____
  • Refrigerant (oz.)  = _____

• STEP 2 – Stabilize the system by operating for a minimum of 20 minutes.
  At startup, or whenever charge is removed or added, the system must be operated for a mini-mum of 20 minutes to stabilize before accurate measurements can be made.

• STEP 3 – Check the liquid line temperature and liquid gage pressure to obtain a minimum of 10º subcooling in heating mode.
  Measured Liquid Line Temp = __ º F
  Liquid Gage Pressure = __ PSIG

• STEP 4 – Add charge if a minimum of 10º sub-cooling is not obtained with the namplate charge plus additional charge previously added.

• STEP 5 – Return to site for adjustment.
  Important: Return in the spring or summer to accurately charge the system in the cooling mode with outdoor ambient above 55º F.
