*Proper sizing and installation of equipment is critical to achieve optimal performance. Split system air conditioners and heat pumps must be matched with appropriate coil components to meet Energy Star. Ask your Contractor for details or visit www.energystar.gov.

Features and Benefits

• Lighter Footprint & Less Environmental Impact from New 7mm Condenser Coil: Provided by a decrease in refrigerant requirements and an overall weight reduction
• Efficient Cooling: Up to 16 SEER2/13 EER2
• Expanded Value Space: 3 in. – 4 in. – 5 in. service valve space – provides a minimum working area of 27-square inches for easier access
• Triple Service Access: 15 in. wide, industry leading corner service access – makes repairs easier and faster. The two fastener, removable corner allows optimal access to internal unit components. Individual louver panels come out once fastener is removed, for faster coil cleaning and easier cabinet reassembly
• System Matching Simplicity: Matches to all tiers of gas furnaces
• Modern Cabinet Aesthetics: High curb appeal with visually appealing design
• Curved Louver Panels: Provide ultimate coil protection, enhance cabinet strength, and increased cabinet rigidity
• Diagnostic Service Window: With two-fastener opening – provides access to the high and low pressure
• External Gauge Port Access: Allows easy connection of “low-loss” gauge ports
• QR Code: Provides technical information on demand for faster service calls
• Fan Motor Harness: With extra-long wires allows unit top to be removed without disconnecting fan wire

CLEARANCES

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

FIGURE 2

BR –BROWN WIRE
YL –YELLOW WIRE
X–WIRE CONNECTION*IF MAXIMUM OUTLET TEMPERATURE RISE IS DESIRED, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT W1 (W/BK) AND W2 (W/BL) BE JUMPERED TOGETHER.
Application Guidelines

1. Intended for outdoor installation with free air inlet and outlet. Outdoor fan external static pressure available is less than 0.01 -in. wc.
2. Minimum outdoor operation air temperature for cooling mode without low-ambient operation accessory is 55°F (12.8°C).
3. Maximum outdoor operating air temperature is 125°F (51.7°C).
4. For reliable operation, unit should be level in all horizontal planes.
5. Use only copper wire for electric connections at unit. Aluminum and clad aluminum are not acceptable for the type of connector provided.
6. Do not apply capillary tube indoor coils to these units.
7. Factory-supplied filter drier must be installed.

Refrigerant Line Size Information

NOTES:

1. Do not exceed 200 ft linear line length.
2. *Do not exceed 100 ft vertical separation if outdoor unit is above indoor unit.
3. **3/4″ suction line should only be used for 1.5 ton systems if outdoor unit is below or at same level as indoor to assure proper oil return.
4. Always use the smallest liquid line allowable to minimize refrigerant charge.
5. Applications shaded in light gray indicate capacity multipliers between 0.90 and 0.96 which are not recommended, but are allowed.
6. Applications shaded in dark gray are not recommended due to excessive liquid or suction pressure drop.

Refrigerant Line Size Information NOTES:

1. Do not exceed 61m linear line length.
2. *Do not exceed 30m vertical separation if outdoor unit is above indoor unit.
3. **19.05mm suction line should only be used for 1.5 ton systems if outdoor unit is below or at same level as indoor to assure proper oil return.
4. Always use the smallest liquid line allowable to minimize refrigerant charge.
5. Applications shaded in light gray indicate capacity multipliers between 0.90 and 0.96 which are not recommended, but are allowed.
6. Applications shaded in dark gray are not recommended due to excessive liquid or suction pressure drop.
