ALL phases of this installation must comply with NATIONAL, STATE AND LOCAL CODES.
IMPORTANT — This Document is customer property and is to remain with this unit. Please return to service informa-
tion pack upon completion of work.
Condensing Units
These instructions do not cover all variations in systems or provide for every possible contingency to be met in connection with
the installation. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the
purchaser’s purposes, the matter should be referred to your installing dealer or local distributor.
Note: The manufacturer recommends installing only approved matched indoor and outdoor systems. All of the manufacture’s split
systems are AHRI rated with Piston/TXV/EEV indoor systems. Some of the benefits of installing approved matched indoor and
outdoor split systems are maximum efficiency, optimum performance and the best overall system reliability.

Only qualified personnel should install and service the equipment. The installation, starting up, and servicing of
heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning equipment can be hazardous and requires specific knowledge and train-
ing. Improperly installed, adjusted or altered equipment by an unqualified person could result in death or serious in-
jury. When working on the equipment, observe all precautions in the literature and on the tags, stickers, and labels
that are attached to the equipment.

Section 1. Safety
WARNING
!
This information is intended for use by individuals
possessing adequate backgrounds of electrical and
mechanical experience. Any attempt to repair a central
air conditioning product may result in personal injury
and/or property damage. The manufacture or seller
cannot be responsible for the interpretation of this
information, nor can it assume any liability in connec-
tion with its use.
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 sys-
tem. All R-410A systems use a POE 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. For specific handling
concerns with R-410A and POE oil reference Retrofit
Bulletins SS-APG006-EN and APP-APG011-EN or
APP-APG012-EN.
Extreme caution should be exercised when opening
the Liquid Line Service Valve. Turn counterclockwise
until the valve stem just touches the rolled edge. No
torque is required. Failure to follow this warning will
result in abrupt release of system charge and may
result in personal injury and /or property damage.
UNIT CONTAINS R-410A REFRIGERANT!
R-410A operating pressures exceed the limit of R-22.
Proper service equipment is required. Failure to use
proper service tools may result in equipment damage
or personal injury.
SERVICE
USE ONLY R-410A REFRIGERANT AND AP-
PROVED POE COMPRESSOR OIL.

LIVE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS!
During installation, testing, servicing, and trouble-
shooting of this product, it may be necessary to work
with live electrical components. Failure to follow all
electrical safety precautions when exposed to live
electrical components could result in death or serious
injury.
WARNING
!
If using existing refrigerant lines make certain that all
joints are brazed, not soldered.
CAUTION
!
Scroll compressor dome temperatures may be hot. Do
not touch the top of compressor; it may cause minor to
severe burning.

Section 2. Unit Location Considerations
2.1 Unit Dimensions and Weight
2.2 Refrigerant Piping Limits
1. The maximum length of refrigerant lines
from outdoor to indoor unit should NOT
exceed sixty (60) feet.
2. The maximum vertical change should not
exceed sixty (60) feet.
3. Service valve connection diameters are
shown in Table 5.1.
Note: For line lengths greater than sixty (60)
feet, Refer to Refrigerant Piping Application
Guide, SS-APG006-EN or Refrigerant Piping
Software Program, 32-3312-03 (or latest revi-
sion).
When mounting the outdoor unit on a roof, be
sure the roof will support the unit’s weight.
Properly selected isolation is recommended to
alleviate sound or vibration transmission to the
building structure.

2.3 Suggested Locations for Best Reliability
Ensure the top discharge area is unrestricted for
at least five (5) feet above the unit.
Three (3) feet clearance must be provided in
front of the control box (access panels) and any
other side requiring service.
Do not locate close to bedrooms as operational
sounds may be objectionable.
Position the outdoor unit a minimum of 12” from
any wall or surrounding shrubbery to ensure
adequate airflow.
Outdoor unit location must be far enough away
from any structure to prevent excess roof runoff
water from pouring directly on the unit.

Section 4. Setting the Unit
4.1 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.

5.2 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) or
superheat (fixed orifice) per the unit nameplate.

5.4 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.

Insulation
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 publica-
tion number SS-APG006-EN.

Section 6. Refrigerant Line Routing
6.1 Precautions
Important: Take precautions to prevent noise
within the building structure due to vibration
transmission from the refrigerant lines.
For Example:
• When the refrigerant lines have to be fastened to floor joists or other 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 or sill, they should be insulated and isolated.
• Isolate the lines from all ductwork. • Minimize the number of 90º turns.
Comply with National, State, and Local Codes when
isolating line sets from joists, rafters, walls, or other
structural elements.

Section 7. Refrigerant Line Brazing
7.1 Braze The Refrigerant Lines
STEP 1 - Remove caps or plugs. Use a debur-
ing tool to debur the pipe ends. Clean both
internal and external surfaces of the tubing
using an emery cloth.
STEP 2 - Remove the pressure tap cap and
valve cores from both service valves.
10 88-A4AC4001-1B-EN
STEP 3 - Purge the refrigerant lines and indoor
coil with dry nitrogen.
STEP 4 - Wrap a wet rag around the valve body
to avoid heat damage and continue the dry nitro-
gen purge.
Braze the refrigerant lines to the service valves.
Continue the dry nitrogen purge. Do not remove
the wet rag until all brazing is completed.
Important: Remove the wet rag before stopping
the dry nitrogen purge.
Note: Install drier in Liquid Line.
NOTE: Precautions should be taken to avoid
heat damage to basepan during brazing. It is
recommended to keep the flame directly off of
the basepan.
STEP 5 - Replace the pressure tap valve cores
after the service valves have cooled.
