INTRODUCTION

This booklet contains the installation and operating instructions for your self-con-tained air conditioner. There are a few precautions that should be taken to derive maximum satisfaction from it. Improper installation can result in unsatisfactory oper-ation or dangerous conditions. Read this booklet and any instructions packaged with separate equipment required to make up the system prior to installation. Give this booklet to the owner and explain its provisions. The owner should retain this booklet for future reference.

CHECKING PRODUCT RECEIVED
Upon receiving the unit, inspect it for any damage from shipment. Claims for damage, either shipping or concealed, should be filed immediately with the shipping company. Check the unit model number, electrical characteristics, and accessories to determine if they are correct.

EQUIPMENT PROTECTION FROM THE ENVIRONMENT
The metal parts of this unit may be subject to rust or deterioration in adverse environ­men tal conditions. This oxidation could shorten the equipment’s useful life. Salt spray, fog or mist in seacoast areas, sulphur or chlorine from lawn watering systems, and various chemical contaminants from industries such as paper mills and petroleum refin­eries are especially corrosive.

If the unit is to be installed in an area where contaminants are likely to be a problem, special attention should be given to the equipment location and exposure.

1. Avoid having lawn sprinkler heads spray directly on the unit cabinet.
2. In coastal areas, locate the unit on the side of the building away from the water­front.
3. Shielding provided by a fence or shrubs may give some protection.
4. Elevating the unit off its slab or base enough to allow air circulation will help avoid holding water against the basepan.

WARNING
DISCONNECT ALL POWER TO THE UNIT BEFORE STARTING MAINTENANCE. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR DEATH.

Regular maintenance will reduce the buildup of contaminants and help to protect the unit’s finish.

1. Frequent washing of the cabinet, fan blade and coil with fresh water will remove most of the salt or other contaminants that build up on the unit.
2. Regular cleaning and waxing of the cabinet with an automobile polish will provide some protection.
3. A liquid cleaner may be used several times a year to remove matter that will not wash off with water.

Several different types of protective coatings are offered in some areas. These coatings may provide some benefit, but the effectiveness of such coating materials cannot be verified by the equipment manufacturer. The best protection is frequent cleaning, maintenance and minimal exposure to con­taminants.

INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO OWNER
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for equipment installed in violation of any code or regulation. The operation portion of this manual gives instructions as to the service and care of the unit. It is recommended that the installer go over the operational portion of this manual with the owner so that there is a full understanding of the equip­ment and how it is intended to function. These instructions should be read and kept for future reference. It is suggested that this booklet be affixed to or adjacent to the indoor equipment. It is addressed to your dealer and serviceman, but we highly recommend that you read it—paying particular attention to the section titled “MAINTENANCE.”

INSPECTION AND HANDLING
Inspect exterior of unit for evidence of rough handling in shipment. If damage is found, enter claim at once. Unpack carefully after moving unit to approximate location. Any damage should be reported immediately to the transportation company. Material in this shipment was inspected at the factory and released to the common car­rier with no known damage.

ORDER PARTS
When reporting shortages or damaged parts, or when ordering repair parts, give the complete unit model and serial numbers which are stamped on the Unit Rating Plate.

STANDARD ITEMS
The condensing unit consists of a completely assembled package which includes a compressor, a condenser coil, fan, fan motors, outdoor control box, factory wiring, fac­tory tubing and fittings.

INSTALLATION GENERAL
The condensing unit should be installed outdoors. It should be located as near as pos­sible to the evaporator section to keep connecting refrigerant tubing lengths to a mini­mum. The unit must be installed to allow a free air flow to the condenser coils. If several units are installed adjacent to each other, care must be taken to avoid recircu­lation of air from one condenser to another. In all installations, adequate space must be provided for installation and servicing.

The unit must not be connected to any duct work. Do not locate unit under a roof drip; if necessary, install gutters, etc., to prevent water run­off from hitting the unit. To pre­vent air recirculation, it is recommended that the unit not be installed under an over­hang, but if necessary allow a minimum of 60 inches above the unit for air discharge.

NOTE:
To prevent the possibility of freeze damage, you can install an air proving switch in the air handler supply duct wired in series with the compressor contactor coil (24V) which would lock out the compressor in the event of air flow failure.

ROOFTOP INSTALLATION (REFER TO TABLE 1)
If rooftop installation is required, make certain that the building construction is ade­quate for the weight of the unit. (Refer to physical data chart.) Before placing the unit on the roof, make certain that the nylon rigging slings are of sufficient length to maintain equilibrium of the unit when lifting. Under no circumstances should the unit be lifted by only one corner for rooftop installation.

SLAB INSTALLATION
Condensing units should be set on a solid level foundation. When installed at ground level, the unit should be placed on a 6 inch cement slab. If the pad is formed at the installation site, do not pour the pad tight against the structure, otherwise vibration will be transmitted from the unit through the pad.

REFRIGERANT PIPING DATA

CONDENSING UNITS ARE SHIPPED WITH A NITROGEN-HOLDING CHARGE. EVACUATE CONDENSING UNIT BEFORE CHARGING WITH REFRIGERANT.

WARNING
DO NOT USE OXYGEN TO PURGE LINES OR PRESSURE SYSTEM FOR LEAK TEST. OXYGEN REACTS VIOLENTLY WITH OIL, WHICH CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION RESULTING IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

LIQUID LINE PRESSURE DROP PER 100 FEET EQUIVALENT LENGTH (TYPE L COPPER TUBING)

NOTES:

1. 1. When evaporator coil is above condenser, the pressure drop due to vertical lift (.5 PSIG per foot of lift) must be added to the pressure drop derived from this curve.
   2. Size liquid line for no more than 10°F loss (approximately 50 PSIG total pressure drop).
   3. Do not oversize liquid line. Oversized liquid lines add significantly to the amount of refrigerant required to charge the system.
   4. The maximum recommended velocity with solenoid valves or other quick closing devices in the liquid line is 300 FPM.

INSTALLATION OF PIPING
Once located, the condensing unit is ready to be interconnected with the evaporator using ONLY refrigeration grade dehydrated tubing. The following should be considered when connecting the tubing.

1. Pitch the suction line toward the compressor approximately 1⁄2 inch every 10 feet to facilitate oil return.
2. It is recommended that the sight glass, filter drier and liquid line solenoid valve be installed in the liquid line just prior to the evaporator.
3. Silver solder (such as silfos, Easy Flow, etc.) should be used for all refrigerant joints.
4. Thoroughly clean all joints before fluxing. DO NOT USE ACID FLUX.
5. When fluxing, limit the application of paste to the minimum and always apply flux to the male portion of the connection.
6. Suction lines should be insulated to prevent condensate drip. Use insulation of at least 3⁄8 inch wall thickness. The insulation should be installed on the tubing prior to making the sweat connections.
7. Insulate the liquid line whenever the heat pick­up or transfer can affect the sub­cool­ing.
8. Care should be taken to avoid transmission of noise or vibration to building struc­ture.

SUCTION LINE SYSTEM CAPACITY LOSS IN PERCENT PER 100 FEET EQUIVALENT LENGTH (TYPE L COPPER TUBING)

NOTES:

1. The minimum velocity line (700 fpm) is recommended for cooling only units with ver­tical or horizontal run refrigerant lines.
2. For suction pressure drop (PSIG), multiply percent (%) loss by 1.18.

TYPICAL PIPING RECOMMENDATIONS

REFRIGERANT PIPING:
The following will be of help in accomplishing a successful installation.

1. Size liquid line for no more than 10°F loss which corresponds to approximately 50 PSIG pressure drop.
2. Size suction lines for no more than 2°F loss which corresponds to approximately 5 PSIG pressure drop.
3. Install sight glass, filter drier and solenoid valve in liquid line adjacent to evaporator. Filter drier should be between the condensing unit and sight glass.
4. Pitch all horizontal suction lines downward in the direction of flow. (1/2” to 10 ft. run)
5. When making up refrigerant piping, take every precaution to prevent dirt and mois­ture from entering the piping.
6. Locate the condensing unit and evaporator(s) as close together as possible to mini­mize piping runs.
7. Liquid or suction lifts not to exceed 60 ft.

WIRING

NOTE:
Field wiring must comply with the National Electric Code (CEC in Canada) and any local ordinance that may apply.

ELECTRICAL POWER
It is important that proper electrical power is available at the unit. Voltage must not vary more than 10% of that stamped on the rating plate. (See Electrical Data Table for mini­mum and maximum voltage.) Interphase voltage variation on three­phase units must not be more than 3%. Contact local power company for correction of improper voltage or phase unbalance.

IMPORTANT:
Models equipped with scroll compressors must be phased correctly for proper compressor rotation. If the compressor is noisy or if suction and discharge pres­sures do not appear normal, reverse any two power leads to the unit. Extended run time in reverse rotation will damage the compressor and lead to premature failure.

POWER WIRING
Power wiring must be run in grounded rain­tight conduit. Power wiring must comply with the National Electric Code (C.E.C. in Canada) and any applicable local code.

WIRE ROUTING
POWER WIRING MUST BE RUN IN CONDUIT. Conduit must be run through the con­nector panel below the service cover and attached to the bottom of the control box.
If low (extra­low in Canada) voltage control wire is run in conduit with power supply, Class I insulation is required. If run separate, Class II is required. Low voltage wiring may be run through the insulated bushing provided in the 7/8 “ hole in the connector panel then routed to the control box.

WARNING
AFTER COMPLETION OF WIRING CHECK ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, INCLUDING FACTORY WIRING WITHIN THE UNIT, AND MAKE SURE ALL CONNECTIONS ARE TIGHT, REPLACE AND SECURE ALL ELECTRICAL BOX COVERS AND ACCESS DOORS BEFORE LEAVING UNIT OR TURNING ON POWER TO CIRCUIT SUPPLY UNIT. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

GROUNDING
A grounding lug is provided in control box for a ground wire. Grounding may be accomplished by grounding the power line conduit to the unit.

THERMOSTAT — 61⁄2 AND 71⁄2 TON [23 kW AND 26 kW]
A two­stage cooling, two­stage heating (if heating is used) thermostat should be mounted on an inside wall about four to five feet above the floor in a location where it will not be affected by the sun or drafts, from open doors or other sources. Install, level, and after installation check the thermostat calibration and recalibrate if necessary.

LEAK TESTING
Pressure line set and coil through service fittings with dry nitrogen to 150 psig maxi­mum. Leak test all joints using liquid detergent. If a leak is found, recover pressure and repair.

REFRIGERANT

R-410A REFRIGERANT
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLING & SERVICING R-410A MODELS

CAUTION

• R-410A systems operate at higher pressures than R-22 systems. Do not use
• R-22 service equipment or components on R-410A equipment.

Manifold Sets:

• Up to 800 PSIG High Side
• Up to 250 PSIG Low Side
• 550 PSIG Low Side Retard

Manifold Hoses:

• Service Pressure Rating of 800 PSIG

Recovery Cylinders:

• 400 PSIG Pressure Rating
• Dept. of Transportation 4BA400 or BW400

SPECIFICATION OF R­410A

• Application: R­410A is not a drop­in replacement for R­22; equipment designs must accommodate its higher pressures It cannot be retrofitted into R­22 condensing units.
• Physical Properties: R­410A has an atmospheric boiling point of ­62.9°F and its satura­tion pressure at 77°F is 224.5 psig.
• Composition: R­410A is an azeotropic mixture of 50% by weight difluoromethane (HFC­32) and 50% by weight pentafluoroethane (HFC­125).
• Pressure: The pressure of R­410A is approximately 60% (1.6 times) greater than R­22. Recovery and recycle equipment, pumps, hoses and the like need to have design pressure ratings appropriate for R­410A. Manifold sets need to range up to 800 psig high­side and 250 psig low­side with a 550 psig low­side retard. Hoses need to have a service pressure rating of 800 psig. Recovery cylinders need to have a 400 psig service pressure rating. DOT 4BA400 or DOT BW400.
• Combustibility: At pressures above 1 atmosphere, mixture of R­410A and air can become combustible. R­410A and air should never be mixed in tanks or supply lines, or be allowed to accumulate in storage tanks. Leak checking should never be done with a mixture of R­410A and air. Leak checking can be performed safely with nitrogen or a mixture of R­410A and nitrogen.

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE FOR R-410A

• R­410A refrigerant operates at approximately 60% higher pressure (1.6 times) than R­ 22. Ensure that servicing equipment is designed to operate with R­410A.
• R­410A refrigerant cylinders are pink in color.
• R­410A, as with other HFC’s, is only compatible with POE oils.
• Vacuum pumps will not remove moisture from oil.
• R­410A systems are to be charged with liquid refrigerants. Prior to March 1999, R­ 410A refrigerant cylinders had a dip tube. These cylinders should be kept upright for equipment charging. Post-March 1999 cylinders do not have a dip tube and should be inverted to ensure liquid charging of the equipment.
• Do not install a suction line filter drier in the liquid line.
• A liquid line filter drier is standard on every unit. Only manufacturer-approved liquid line filter driers can be used. These filter driers are rated for a minimum working pres­sure of 600 psig.
• Desiccant (drying agent) must be compatible for POE oils and R­410A.

REPLACEMENT UNITS
To prevent failure of a new condensing unit, the existing evaporator tubing system must be correctly sized and cleaned or replaced. Care must be exercised that the expansion device is not plugged. For new and replacement units, a liquid line filter drier should be installed and refrigerant tubing should be properly sized. Test the oil for acid. If positive, a suction line filter drier is mandatory.

IMPORTANT:
WHEN REPLACING AN R­22 UNIT WITH AN R­410A UNIT, EITHER REPLACE THE LINE SET OR ENSURE THAT THE EXISTING LINE SET IS THOROUGH­LY CLEANED OF ANY OLD OIL OR DEBRIS.

CAUTION
Only use evaporators approved for use on R-410A systems. Use of existing R-22 evaporators can introduce mineral oil to the R-410A refrigerant form-ing two different liquids and decreasing oil return to the compressor. This can result in compressor failure.

EVACUATION AND CHARGING

The evacuation of any system component that has been exposed to the atmosphere or lost its charge is essential before charging. Never attempt to operate a system while it is under a vacuum.

NOTE:
The condensing unit is shipped with a holding charge of dry nitrogen which must be purged from the unit before evacuation.

1. Since the condensing unit itself must be evacuated, open the suction, discharge and liquid shut­off valves.
2. Use a refrigeration-type vacuum pump capable of evacuation in the 500-micron range.
3. Connect the vacuum pump to the service manifold assembly with a pressure gauge that will read 30 inches vacuum. Connect the service manifold to the suction line schrader valve port.

18. Note the weight of the refrigerant tank.
19. When the system has stabilized, check superheat at the suction line service valve. The actual line temperature should be 8° to 20°F higher than the saturation temperature corresponding to the suction pressure. If superheat is measured at the evaporator, the actual line temperature should be 6° to 10° higher than the saturation temperature corresponding to the suction pressure.
20. Close service ports on suction and liquid valves. Remove service gauges.
21. Replace service port caps and valve stem caps. These caps must be replaced to prevent leaks.
22. Record total charge quantity on the rating plate.

Quantities based on 110°F liquid and 45°F vapor.

BASIC SYSTEM CHARGE

NOTE: System with 0 feet of tubing

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

61⁄2 XVIII. AND 71⁄2 TON [23 kW AND 26 kW]

1. When the room temperature is higher than the thermostat setting, the thermostat contacts close and energize the compressor contactor (CC) through the high pres­sure, and low-pressure controls. If the unit has “short cycled” and the optional time delay (TDC) has been supplied, the contactor coil (CC) will remain de­energized for up to five (5) minutes.
2. The system will continue cooling operation, as long as the contacts of all safety devices are closed and until the thermostat is satisfied.
3. When the thermostat is satisfied, the compressor or contactor (CC) is de­energized.

MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION

1. All access panels must be in place when unit is in operation.
2. For maximum efficiency, the condenser coil must be kept clean. Periodic inspections, depending on local conditions are recommended. If it is necessary to clean the con-denser coil, use a common garden hose.
3. Never operate the unit without filters installed in the air handler.
4. If a compressor crankcase heater is used, it must be turned on 12 hours prior to starting the compressor.

CONTACTOR
The contactor is an electrical switch that operates the compressor and condenser fans. Its 24-volt coil is activated either directly or indirectly by the room thermostat.

HIGH-PRESSURE SWITCH (HPC)
Opens the contactor (24 volt) circuit on high refrigerant pressure—Manual Reset—check for cause of tripping before putting unit back in service.

LOW-PRESSURE SWITCH (LPC)
Acts as safety against loss of refrigerant and low evaporator temperatures.
