NOTE : NUMBERS IN () = mm
IMPORTANT : When installing multiple units in an alcove, roof well or
partially enclosed area, ensure there is adequate ventillation to prevent re-
circulation of discharge air.
Control Wiring
Application Guidelines
- Intended for outdoor installation with free air inlet and outlet. Outdoor fan external static pressure available is less than 0.01 -in. wc.
- Minimum outdoor operation air temperature for cooling mode without low-ambient operation accessory is 55°F (12.8°C).
- Maximum outdoor operating air temperature is 125°F (51.7°C).
- For reliable operation, unit should be level in all horizontal planes.
- Use only copper wire for electric connections at unit. Aluminum and clad aluminum are not acceptable for the type of connector provided.
- Do not apply capillary tube indoor coils to these units.
- Factory-supplied filter drier must be installed.

NOTES:
- Do not exceed 150 ft. linear line length.
- Do not exceed 50 ft.vertical separation between indoor and outdoor units.
- 3/4” suction line should only be used for 2 ton systems if the outdoor unit is below or at the same level as the indoor unit to ensure proper oil return.
- Always use the smallest liquid line allowable to minimize refrigerant charge.
- Applications shaded in light gray indicate capacity multipliers between 0.90 and 0.96 which are not recommended but are allowed.
- Applications shaded in dark gray are not recommended due to excessive liquid or suction pressure drop.
