Specifications subject to change without notice.
NOTE: Control circuit is 24V on all units and requires external power source. Copper wire must be used from
service disconnect to unit. ALL motors/compressors contain internal overload protection.
1. Wire size should be determined in accordance with National Electrical Codes. Extensive wire runs will
require larger wire sizes.
2. Time delay fuses may be used in place of HACR circuit breaker.
*Unit uses R-410A refrigerant.

Recommended liquid & suction tube line size is for standard installations. The unit charge is correct for the outdoor unit, matched indoor coil and
15feet of refrigerant tubing. For tubing length other than 15 feet, add or subtract the amount of refrigerant, using the difference in length multiplied
by the per foot value. These recommendations do not apply to Long Line Length Installations that exceed 75 feet or where there is more than 40 feet
vertical separation between indoor and outdoor units. (Lengths in excess of 75 feet or more than 40 feet vertical separation are not recommended.)
Note: See unit installation instructions for proper installation.
