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
- The maximum TOTAL length of refrigerant lines from outdoor to indoor unit should NOT exceed 150 feet* (including lift).
- The maximum vertical change should not exceed 50 feet*.
- 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.

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.

COOLING PERFORMANCE CAN BE CHECKED
WHEN THE OUTDOOR TEMP IS ABOVE 65 DEG F.
TO CHECK COOLING PERFORMANCE, SELECT THE PROPER INDOOR CFM, ALLOW PRESSURES TO
STABILIZE. MEASURE INDOOR WET BULB TEMPERATURE, OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE, LIQUID
AND SUCTION PRESSURES.
ON THE PLOTS LOCATE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE (1); LOCATE INDOOR WET BULB (2); FIND
INTERSECTION OF OD TEMP. & ID W.B. (3); READ LIQUID (4) OR SUCTION (5)
PRESSURE IN LEFT COLUMN .
EXAMPLE:
- OUTDOOR TEMP. 82 F.
- INDOOR WET BULB 67 F.
- AT INTERSECTION
- LIQUID PRESSURE @ 600 CFM IS 304 PSIG
- SUCTION PRESSURE @ 600 CFM IS 145 PSIG
ACTUAL:
LIQUID PRESSURE SHOULD BE +/- 10 PSI OF CHART
SUCTION PRESSURE SHOULD BE +/- 3 PSIG OF CHART
