WARNING
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!
Failure to follow this warning could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power cannot be inadvertently energized.

WARNING
REFRIGERANT OIL!
Any attempt to repair a central air conditioning product may result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death. 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 with variable-speed compressors use a PVE 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.

CAUTION

Table 6. Cold Climate Considerations (Heat Pump Only)

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 the defrost cycle prior to its refreezing. Ensure that drain holes in the unit base pan are not obstructed, preventing drainage 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 ofthe unit.

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.

Setting Up the Unit

Table 7. 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.

Refrigerant Line Considerations

Table 8. Factory Charge
The outdoor condensing units are factory charged with the system charge required for the outdoor condensing unit, ten (10) feet of tested connecting line, and the smallest rated indoor evaporative coil match. Always verify proper system charge via subcooling (TXV/EEV).

Table 9. Required Refrigerant Line Length

  • Determine the required line length and lift. You will need this to determine the subcooling charging corrections later in the installation process.
  • Total Line Length = ___Ft.
  • Total Vertical Change (lift) = ____Ft.

Table 10. Refrigerant Line Insulation

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.
Note: The gas line must always be insulated. Insulating the liquid line through attic spaces may benefit system performance by minimizing heat gain in the liquid line.

Table 11. Reuse Existing Refrigerant Lines

CAUTION
REFRIGERANT!
Failure to inspect or use proper service toolsmay result in equipment damage or personal injury. 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. Important: For more information, see publication number SSAPG006– EN

Table 12. Refrigerant Line Routing Precautions

Important: Comply with National, State, and Local Codes when isolating line sets from joists, rafters, walls, or other structural elements.
Important: For buried line sets, see publication number SS-APG006–EN.
Important: Take precautions to prevent noise within the building structure due to vibration transmission from the refrigerant lines.

For Example:

  • When the refrigerant lines must be fastened to floor joists or another 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, sill or enclosed ceiling- they should be insulated, isolated, and serviceable if any connections are present.
  • Isolate the lines from all ductwork.
  • Minimize the number of 90° turns.

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

Table 33. 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 the 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.

The Weigh-In Method can be used for the initial installation or any time a system charge is being replaced. The 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

  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.

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 a charge is removed or added, the system must be operated for a minimum of 20 minutes to stabilize before accurate measurements can be made.

STEP 3 – Check the liquid line temperature and liquid gauge 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 subcooling is not obtained with the nameplate 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.

Defrost Control (Heat Pump only)

Demand Defrost
The demand defrost control measures the heat pump’s outdoor ambient temperature with a sensor located outside the outdoor coil. A second sensor located on the outdoor coil is used to measure the coil temperature. The difference between the ambient and the colder coil temperature is the difference or delta-T measurement. This delta-T measurement is representative of the operating state and relative capacity of the heat pump system. By measuring the change in delta-T, we can determine the need for defrost. The coil sensor also serves to sense outdoor coil temperature for the termination of the defrost cycle.

Fault Identification
A fault condition is indicated by the CDA connected to the control board inside the heat pump control box.

Defrost Enabled Demand Defrost is enabled with the following inputs to the Integrated Variable Speed Control (IVSC):

  • The outdoor ambient temperature sensor (ODS-B) reports an outdoor temperature at or below 52° F.
  • The coil temperature sensor (CBS) reports a coil temperature at or below 35° F.
  • Heat/Cool Demand (HCD) from the communicating comfort control for at least two minutes or more.
