HMCG2 ACC STD ECM High-Efficiency Horizontal Discharge Modulating Air
Conditioner
Interfacing the indoor unit with the outdoor unit
Note: A contractor supplied filter/drier must be field-installed at the
indoor coil.
Low-voltage wiring

CAUTION
This equipment uses an inverter drive that stores hazardous energy up to 5
min after power is removed. Wait for more than 5 min before performing
electrical work after power is removed.
Clearance
During installation, maintain the required clearance from walls and adjacent
equipment. See Figure 3. When installing multiple units, be careful to avoid
intake of discharged air from adjacent units. 
Figure 3: Minimum clearance
NOTICE
It is imperative to fasten this equipment to a sturdy base for protection
against vibration, strong breeze, or earthquake. Use anchors and a base
adequate to protect the unit against tipping or dislocation.
Connection and access points

Connection and access points
Note: Refer to the Tabular Data Sheet provided with the unit for detailed
unit dimensions.
CAUTION
The indoor coil is under inert gas pressure. Relieve pressure from the coil by
depressing the Schrader core at the end of the suction manifold stub out.
Dry nitrogen must always be supplied through the tubing while it is being
brazed, because the temperature required is high enough to cause oxidation of
the copper unless an inert atmosphere is provided. The flow of dry nitrogen
must continue until the joint has cooled. Always use a pressure regulator and
safety valve to ensure that only low pressure dry nitrogen is introduced into
the tubing. Only a small flow is necessary to displace air and prevent
oxidation.
If a refrigerant leak is discovered after the system is charged, the system
must be evacuated to repair the leak. Attempting to braze a line under
refrigerant pressure can cause the line to rupture. A rupture can propel hot
solder and oil causing injury to the technician attempting to braze the line.
CAUTION
Avoid personal injury and/or equipment damage. Carefully follow the brazing,
charging, and other instructions in the Installation Manual provided with the
unit.
Operating limit conditions

Standard refrigeration piping
The maximum allowable equivalent line length for this product is 131 ft for 2
ton and 3 ton and 164 ft for 4 ton and 5 ton. The maximum allowable vertical
lineset varies depending on the vertical separation between the indoor and
outdoor section. See Table 2 for allowable lineset lengths and sizing.

Unit charging and startup
It is important to be aware of the following:
- Correct charging of the equipment is essential for correct operation.
- The unit is pre-charged with refrigerant. Add refrigerant as appropriate for the length of the lineset. Refer to the Tabular Data Sheet for more information.
- You cannot use subcool or superheat methods to charge the unit. Recover and weigh in if you have any concerns about the unit charge.
- Perform start-up and verify operation in cooling mode. Refer to the Installation Manual and the Service Data Application Guide for instructions on manual operation.
