C. Refrigerant Tubing and Filter Drier
CAUTION: Installation of filter drier in liquid line is
required.
Connect vapor tubing to fittings on outdoor unit vapor service
valve. Connect liquid tubing to filter drier (See Table 1 and Fig. 9.)
Use refrigerant grade tubing. Connect other end of filter drier to
adapter tube on liquid service valve.
D. Sweat Connection
CAUTION: To avoid valve damage while brazing, ser-
vice valves must be wrapped in a heat-sinking material
such as a wet cloth.
Wrap service valves and filter drier with a wet cloth or heat-
sinking material. Braze connections using either silver bearing or
non-silver bearing brazing material. Do not use soft solder
(materials which melt below 800°F). Consult local code require-
ments.
E. Leak Checking
Leak test all joints in indoor, outdoor, and refrigerant tubing.
F. Evacuate Refrigerant Tubing and Indoor Coil
CAUTION: To avoid compressor damage never use the
system compressor as a vacuum pump.
Refrigerant tubes and indoor coil must be evacuated using the
recommended deep vacuum method of 500 microns. The alternate
triple evacuation method may be used if the procedure outlined
below is followed.
IMPORTANT: Never open system under vacuum to atmosphere
without first breaking it open with nitrogen.
DEEP VACUUM METHOD
The deep vacuum method requires a vacuum pump capable of
pulling a vacuum of 500 microns and a vacuum gage capable of
accurately measuring this vacuum depth. The deep vacuum
method is the most positive way of assuring a system is free of air
and liquid water. (See Fig. 10.)
TRIPLE EVACUATION METHOD
The triple evacuation method should only be used when vacuum
pump is only capable of pumping down to 28 in. of mercury
vacuum and system does not contain any liquid water. Refer to
Fig. 11 and proceed is as follows:
1. Pump system down to 28 in. of mercury and allow pump to
continue operating for an additional 15 minutes.
2. Close service valves and shut off vacuum pump.
3. Connect a nitrogen cylinder and regulator to system and
open until system pressure is 2 psig.
4. Close service valve and allow system to stand for 1 hr.
During this time, dry nitrogen will be able to diffuse
throughout the system absorbing moisture.
5. Repeat this procedure as indicated in Fig. 11. System will
then contain minimal amounts of contaminants and water
vapor.
G. Final Tubing Check
IMPORTANT: Check to be certain factory tubing on both indoor
and outdoor unit has not shifted during shipment. Ensure tubes are
not rubbing against each other or any sheet metal. Pay close
attention to feeder tubes, making sure wire ties on feeder tubes are
secure and tight.

CAUTION: To prevent personal injury wear safety
glasses, protective clothing, and gloves when handling
refrigerant.
CAUTION: Back seating service valves are not
equipped with Schrader valves. Fully back seat (counter
clockwise) valve stem before removing gage port cap.
CAUTION: Federal regulations require that you do not
vent refrigerant to atmosphere. Recover during system
repair or final unit disposal.
Follow these steps to properly start up the system:
1. Fully back seat (open) liquid and vapor service valves.
2. Unit is shipped with valve stem(s) front seated (closed) and
caps installed. Replace stem caps after system is opened to
refrigerant flow (back seated). Replace caps finger-tight and
tighten with wrench an additional 1/12 turn. Use a backup
wrench on valve body flats to prevent distortion of sheet
metal.
3. Close electrical disconnects to energize system.
4. Set room thermostat at desired temperature. Be sure set
point is below indoor ambient temperature.
5. Set room thermostat to HEAT or COOL and fan control to
ON or AUTO mode, as desired. Operate unit for 15
minutes. Check system refrigerant charge.
A. Sequence of Operation
NOTE: Defrost control board is equipped with a 5-minute lock-
out timer which may be initiated upon an interruption of power.
With power supplied to indoor and outdoor units, transformer is
energized.
COOLING
On a call for cooling, thermostat makes circuits R-O, R-Y, and
R-G. Circuit R-O energizes reversing valve, switching it to cooling
position. Circuit R-Y energizes contactor, starting outdoor fan
motor and compressor circuit. R-G energizes indoor unit blower
relay, starting indoor blower motor on high speed.
When thermostat is satisfied, contacts R-Y open, de-energizing the
contactor and blower relay. Compressor and motors should stop.
NOTE: If indoor unit is equipped with a time-delay relay circuit,
the blower runs an additional 90 sec to increase system efficiency.
HEATING
On a call for heating, thermostat makes circuits R-Y and R-G.
Circuit R-Y energizes contactor, starting outdoor fan motor and
compressor. Circuit R-G energizes indoor blower relay, starting
blower motor on high speed.
Should temperature in the dwelling continue to fall, R-W2 is made
through second-stage room thermostat. Circuit R-W2 energizes
supplemental electric heat. If outdoor temperature falls below
setting of outdoor thermostat (field-installed option), contacts
close to bring on an additional bank of supplemental electric heat.
When thermostat is satisfied, its contacts open, de-energizing
contactor and sequencer. All heaters and motors should stop after
all fan off delays.
QUIET SHIFT
Quiet Shift is a field-selectable defrost mode (factory set to OFF
position), which will eliminate occasional noise that could be
heard at the start of defrost cycle and restarting of heating cycle. It
is selected by placing DIP switch 3 (on defrost board) in ON
position.
When Quiet Shift switch is placed in ON position, and a defrost is
initiated, the following sequence of operation will occur. Revers-
ing valve will energize, compressor will turn off for 30 seconds,
then turn back on to complete defrost. At the start of heating cycle
after conclusion of defrost mode, reversing valve will de-energize,
the compressor will turn off for another 30 seconds, and the fan
will turn off for 40 seconds, before starting in the heating mode.
DEFROST
The defrost control is a time/temperature control which includes a
field-selectable time period (DIP switch 1 and 2 on the board)
between defrost cycles of 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes (factory set at
90 minutes).
To initiate a forced defrost, two options are available depending on
the status of the defrost thermostat.
If defrost thermostat is closed, speedup pins (J1) must be shorted
by placing a flat head screw driver in between for 5 seconds and
releasing, to observe a complete defrost cycle. When the Quiet
Shift switch is selected, compressor will be turned off for two 30
second intervals during this complete defrost cycle, as explained
previously. When Quiet Shift switch is in factory default OFF
position, a normal and complete defrost cycle will be observed.
If defrost thermostat is in open position, and speedup pins are
shorted (with a flat head screw driver) for 5 seconds and released,
a short defrost cycle will be observed (actual length is dependent
upon the selected Quiet Shift position). When Quiet Shift switch is
in ON position, the length of defrost is 1 minute (30 seconds
compressor off period followed by 30 seconds of defrost with
compressor operation). On return to heating operation, compressor
will again turn off for an additional 30 seconds and the fan for 40
seconds. When the Quiet Shift is in OFF position, only a brief 30
second cycle will be observed.
If it is desirable to observe a complete defrost in warmer weather,
the thermostat must be closed as follows.
1. Turn off power to outdoor unit.
2. Disconnect outdoor fan motor lead from OF2 on control
board (See Fig. 19). Tape to prevent grounding.
3. Restart unit in heating mode, allowing frost to accumulate
on outdoor coil.
4. After a few minutes in heating mode, liquid line tempera-
ture should drop below closing point of defrost thermostat
(approximately 30°F).
NOTE: Unit will remain in defrost until defrost thermostat
reopens at approximately 80°F coil temperature at liquid line or
remainder of defrost cycle time.
5. Turn off power to outdoor and reconnect fan motor lead to
OF2 on control board after above forced defrost cycle.
XIV. CHECK CHARGE
A. Unit Charge
Factory charge is shown on unit rating plate. To check charge in
cooling mode, refer to Cooling Only Procedure. To check charge
in heating mode, refer to Heating Check Chart Procedure.
With unit operating, charge Puron units with liquid using a
commercial-type metering device in manifold hose. Charge refrig-
erant into suction line. Some refrigerant cylinders may contain a
dip tube that allows liquid refrigerant to flow from cylinder in
upright position. Check cylinder label for correct position to allow
liquid flow.
B. Cooling Only Procedure
NOTE: If subcooling charging conditions are not favorable,
charge must be weighed in accordance with unit rating plate ±0.6
oz/ft of 3/8-in. liquid line above or below 15 ft respectively.
—7—

EXAMPLE:
To calculate additional charge required for a 25-ft line set:
25 ft - 15 ft = 10 ft X 0.6 oz/ft=6ozofadditional charge
Units installed with cooling mode TXV require charging with the
subcooling method.
1. Operate unit a minimum of 10 minutes before checking
charge.
2. Measure liquid service valve pressure by attaching an
accurate gage to service port.
3. Measure liquid line temperature by attaching an accurate
thermistor type or electronic thermometer to liquid line near
outdoor coil.
4. Refer to Heat Pump Charging Instructions label on outdoor
unit for required subcooling temperature.
5. Refer to Table 3. Find the point where required subcooling
temperature intersects measured liquid service valve pres-
sure.
6. To obtain required subcooling temperature at a specific
liquid line pressure, add refrigerant if liquid line tempera-
ture is higher than indicated or reclaim refrigerant if
temperature is lower. Allow a tolerance of ±3°F.
C. Heating Check Charge Procedure
To check system operation during heating cycle, refer to the Heat
Pump Charging Instructions label on outdoor unit. This chart
indicates whether a correct relationship exists between system
operating pressure and air temperature entering indoor and outdoor
units. If pressure and temperature do not match on chart, system
refrigerant charge may not be correct. Do not use chart to adjust
refrigerant charge.
NOTE: In heating mode, check refrigerant charge only when
pressures are stable. If in doubt, remove charge and weigh in
correct refrigerant charge.
NOTE: When charging is necessary during heating season,
charge must be weighed in accordance with unit rating plate ±0.6
oz/ft of 3/8-in. liquid line above or below 15 ft respectively.
EXAMPLE:
To calculate additional charge required for a 25-ft line set:

PURON®—QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
•Puron refrigerant operates at 50-70 percent higher pressures than R-22. Be sure that servicing equipment and replacement
components are designed to operate with Puron.
•Puron refrigerant cylinders are rose colored.
•Recovery cylinder service pressure rating must be 400 psig, DOT 4BA400 or DOT BW400.
•Puron systems should be charged with liquid refrigerant. Use a commercial type metering device in the manifold hose.
•Manifold sets should be 750 psig high side and 200 psig low side with 520 psig low-side retard.
•Use hoses with 750 psig service pressure rating.
•Leak detectors should be designed to detect HFC refrigerant.
•Puron, as with other HFCs, is only compatible with POE oils.
•Vacuum pumps will not remove moisture from oil.
•Do not use liquid-line filter driers with rated working pressures less than 600 psig.
•Do not install a suction-line filter drier in liquid line.
•POE oils absorb moisture rapidly. Do not expose oil to atmosphere.
•POE oils may cause damage to certain plastics and roofing materials.
•Wrap all filter driers and service valves with wet cloth when brazing.
•A liquid-line filter drier is required on every unit.
•Do not use an R-22 TXV.
•If indoor unit is equipped with an R-22 TXV, it must be changed to an Puron TXV.
•Never open system to atmosphere while it is under a vacuum.
•When system must be opened for service, break vacuum with dry nitrogen prior to opening to atmosphere.
•Always replace filter drier after opening system for service.
•Do not vent Puron into the atmosphere.
•Do not use capillary tube coils.
•Observe all warnings,cautions, and bold text.
