ASX18 models are available in 3 4 and 5 ton sizes and use
R-410Arefrigerant.Theyaredesignedfor 208/230voltsingle
phaseapplications.
The condenser air is pulled through the condenser coil by a
direct drive propeller fan. This condenser air is then dis-
charged out of the top of the cabinet.
These units are designed for free air discharge, so no addi-
tional resistance like duct work shall be attached.
The suction and liquid line connections on present models
areofthe sweat type for field piping withrefrigeranttypecop-
per. Front seating valves are factory installed to accept the
fieldruncopper. The total refrigerantcharge for a normal in-
stallationisfactory installed in the condensing unit.ASX units
are charged for the matching evaporator coil and a 15 foot
refrigerantlineset.
Systems should be properly sized by heat gain and loss
calculations made according to methods of the Air Condi-
tioning Contractors Association (ACCA) or equivalent. It is
the contractors responsibility to ensure the system has ad-
equate capacity to heat or cool the conditioned space.
ASX16 models use the Copeland Scroll "Ultratech" Series
compressorswhichare specifically designed for R-410Are-
frigerant. Thereare anumberofdesign characteristicswhich
are different from the traditional reciprocating and/or scroll
compressors.
"Ultratech" Series scroll compressors with Copeland®
ComfortAlert diagnostics will not have a discharge thermo-
stat, some of the early model scroll compressors required

NOTE: Eventhough the compressorsectionofa Scroll com-
pressor is more tolerant of liquid refrigerant, continued
floodback or flooded start conditions may wash oil from the
bearingsurfacescausing premature bearing failure.
"Ultratech" Series scroll compressors use "POE" or
polyolesteroil whichisNOT compatiblewithmineraloilbased
lubricants like 3GS. "POE" oil must be used if additional oil
isrequired.
WARNING
To avoid possible injury, explosion or death, practice
safe handling of refrigerants.
Operating pressures and amp draws may differ from stan-
dardreciprocatingand/orscroll compressors. This informa-
tion may be found in the "Cooling Performance Data" sec-
tion.
This unit is for outdoor installation only. Refer to minimum
figure for clearances from the sides of the unit to full walls
andother objects.
NOTE: This unit cannot be completely enclosed. At least
one side must be unrestricted.
Theseclearanceswillhelpavoidairrecirculation.Ifinstalling
two or more units at the same location, allow at least 24
inches between units. If only one side is restricted (for ex-
ample, against the outside wall of a house), the unit may be
placed as close as 8" to that one wall.
DO NOT locate the unit:
* Directlyundera vent termination fora gas appliance.
* Within 3 feet of a clothes drier vent
* Wheretherefreezingofdefrostwaterwould create
