1. Compressor damage may occur if system is overcharged.
2. This unit is factory charged with R410A in accordance with the amount shown on the rating plate. The charge is adequate for most
systems using matched coils and tubing not over 15 feet long. The best performance will be achieved when the unit operates with
a suction gas superheat at the compressor inlet of 5 ºF at normal rating conditions of the air conditioning and refrigeration institute
(ARI). This chart may be used to approximate the charge if ARI rating conditions cannot be obtained. ARI rating conditions are
equivalent to DOE test “A” conditions. See product data literature for required indoor air flow rates and for use of line lengths over
15 Ft.
3. Relieve pressure and recover all refrigerant before system repair or final unit disposal. Use all service ports and open all flow-control
devices, including solenoid valves.

4. N.E.C. class 2, 24 V circuit, min. 40 VA required, 60 VA on units installed with
LLS.
5. Use copper conductors only. Use conductors suitable for at least 75ºC (167ºF).
6. If indoor section has a transformer with a grounded secondary, connect the
grounded side to the BRN lead.
7. When start relay and start capacitor are installed, start thermistor is not used.
8. If any of the original wire, as supplied must be replaced, use the same or
equivalent wire.
9. Check all electrical connections inside control box for tightness.
10. Do not attempt to operate unit until service valves have been opened.
11. Do not rapid cycle compressor. Compressor must be off 3 minutes to allow
pressures to equalize between high and low side before starting.
1. Operate unit a minimum of 10 minutes before checking charge.
2. Measure suction pressure by attaching a gage to suction valve service port.
3. Measure suction temperature by attaching an accurate thermistor type or
electronic thermometer to the suction line at service valve.
4. Measure outdoor air dry-bulb temperature with a thermometer.
5. Measure indoor air (entering indoor coil) wet bulb temperature with a sling
psychrometer.
6. Refer to table I. Find outdoor temperature and evaporator entering air wet-bulb
temperature, at this intersection note the superheat.
7. Refer to table II. Find superheat temperature located in step 6 and suction
pressure, at this intersection note suction line temperature.
8. If unit has a higher suction line temperature than charted temperature, add
refrigerant until charted temperature is reached.
9. If unit has a lower suction line temperature than charted temperature, remove
and recover refrigerant until charted temperature is reached.
10. If outdoor air temperature or pressure at suction valve changes, charge to new
suction line temperature indicated on chart.
11. This procedure is valid when indoor air flow is within +/- 21% of its rated cfm.
