These instructions do not cover all variations in systems or provide for every possible contingency to be met in connection with the installation. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser’s purposes, the matter should be referred to your installing dealer or local distributor.

Note: The manufacturer recommends installing only approved matched indoor and outdoor systems. All of the manufacture’s split systems are AHRI rated only with TXV/EEV indoor systems. Some of the benefits of installing approved matched indoor and outdoor split systems are maximum efficiency, optimum performance and the best overall system reliability.

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 R-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.

WARNING

UNIT CONTAINS R-410A REFRIGERANT! R-410A operating pressures exceed the limit of R-22. Proper service equipment is required. Failure to use proper service tools may result in equipment damage or personal injury.

SERVICE
USE ONLY R-410A REFRIGERANT AND APPROVED POE COMPRESSOR OIL.

**WARNING**

Extreme caution should be exercised when opening the Liquid Line Service Valve. Turn counterclockwise until the valve stem just touches the rolled edge. No torque is required. Failure to follow this warning will result in abrupt release of system charge and may result in personal injury and /or property damage.

WARNING

LIVE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS!
During installation, testing, servicing, and troubleshooting of this product, it may be necessary to work with live electrical components. Failure to follow all electrical safety precautions when exposed to live electrical components could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

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 rooftop, 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.
    Cold Climate Considerations
Coastal Considerations

If installed within one mile of salt water, including seacoasts and inland waterways, models without factory supplied 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.

Precautions

Important: Take precautions to prevent noise within the building structure due to vibration transmission from the refrigerant lines.
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.

Comply with National, State, and Local Codes when isolating line sets from joists, rafters, walls, or other structural elements.

Subcooling Charging Below 55º F Outdoor Temp. (In Heating Only)

The Subcooling Charging method in cooling is not recommended below 55º F outdoor temperature.

The only recommended method of charging at outdoor temperatures below 55º F is weighing in the charge in heating mode and referencing the refrigerant pressure curves for typical performance.

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.
14.3 Subcooling Charging Below 55º F Outdoor Temp. (In Heating Only)
Measured Suction Line Temp = __ º F
Liquid Gage Pressure = __ PSIG
Suction Gage Pressure = __ PSIG

Calculating Charge Using the Weigh-In Method

  1. 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.
  2. Enter the charge multiplier (0.6 oz/ft). Each linear foot of interconnecting tubing requires the addition of 0.6 oz of refrigerant.
  3. Multiply the total length of refrigerant tubing (Line 1) times the value on Step 2. Record the result on Line 3 of the Worksheet.
  4. This is the amount of refrigerant to weigh-in prior to opening the service valves.

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.

  1. Total Line length (ft) –10 ft __
  2. Charge multiplier x _0.6 oz___
  3. Step 1 x Step 2 = _____
  4. 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 minimum of 20 minutes to stabilize before accurate measurements can be made.
