GENERAL INFORMATION
Models 2 to 8 tons can be ordered as packaged,
factory-charged unitized packages or as factory split.
The 10 ton model comes factory-split. See ‘Cabinet
Configuration Options’ for more information.
Units can be turned on their side for short periods of
time, which allows passage through standard door
sizes. All unit components are securely mounted
inside the heavy gauge galvanized steel cabinet. All
units are lined with 1/2" thick - 2 lb density acoustical
insulation to ensure the quietest operation. All models
are provided with medium-efficiency 2" thick
throwaway filters rated MERV 7.
All units 2 to 5 tons utilize a single scroll compressor.
The 8 and 10 ton model is a dual scroll compressor
unit with two independent refrigerant circuits. All units
come standard with a microprocessor control board
(refer to ‘Microprocessor’ section).
Units will operate reliably at outdoor ambient down to
50°F. In applications requiring operation below this
temperature, a low ambient damper accessory is
available. The damper installs on the condenser air
intake, and allows operation to 0°F ambient.
ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL SHOULD
PERFORM INSTALLATION AND SERVICE
OF THIS EQUIPMENT.
PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION OF EQUIPMENT
All units are factory tested to ensure safe operation
and quality assembly. Units are packaged and sealed
on shipping skids and shipped in first class condition.
Torn and broken packaging, scratched or dented
panels should be reported to carrier immediately.
Internal inspection of all units should be performed
prior to installation. Remove all access doors and
check for visual defects that can occur during
transport. Any problems found internally should be
reported to carrier and manufacturer immediately.
Refrigerant circuit should be checked to ensure no
leaks have occurred during shipment. Install gauge set
to high and low pressure ports to confirm pressure has
been maintained and no leaks have occurred during
shipment. Repair any damage prior to installation to
ensure safe operation.
RECORD ANY UNIT DAMAGE ON THE
BILL OF LADING AND REPORT TO
CARRIER AND FACTORY IMMEDIATELY.

Location - To ensure unit operates at maximum
efficiencies, choose a dry indoor area where the
temperature is controlled between 50°F and 115°F.
Consideration of surrounding areas should be taken
when choosing a location to install the unit. Common
vibration and sound levels associated with commercial
equipment may be objectionable to people or
equipment.
FAILURE TO ALLOW ADEQUATE SPACE
BETWEEN UNITS MAY RESULT IN POOR
UNIT PERFORMANCE AND POSSIBLE
UNIT FAILURE.
Install thermostats, air supplies and returns so that
each unit will operate only on individual unit control. To
assure fast drainage of condensate run-off, unit can be
slightly pitched in the same direction as drain pan
outlet.

CABINET CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
Horizontal unit consists of an evaporator and
condenser module. It is recommended to order the
units in the appropriate configuration minimize
installation costs and delays on site. Units 2 to 8 tons
can be ordered from the factory as either packaged or
split. The 10 ton unit only comes factory split. The
following cabinet configurations are possible (see
‘Nomenclature Table’ for other available options):
P– (2 to 8 ton models only) Unit comes assembled as
a packaged unit and factory-charged with R-410A.
Ideal for installations where unit will be installed as a
packaged system – no separation is required while
moving equipment into position or during installation.
S– Unit is factory-split and factory-charged with R-
410A. Unit comes with refrigerant shut-off/coupling
valves that hold charge in both condenser and
evaporator sections. Ideal for installations where unit
will be installed as a packaged system and separation
of evaporator and condenser is required during
installation to move equipment through tight spaces
(hallways, elevators, etc.). Both evaporator and
condenser sections contain R-410A refrigerant.
N– Unit is factory-split with a Nitrogen holding charge
only. No refrigerant shut-off/coupling valves are
included. For installations where unit will be installed
as a split system. Separate condenser and evaporator
sections facilitate moving equipment into position.
UNIT MOUNTING
Flanges for all duct connections, corner securing
brackets, and refrigerant tubing couplings (‘S’ cabinet
configurations only) are shipped in the condensing
section of the unit for field installation. Duct flanges for
evaporator return are incorporated into the filter rack.
Remove shipping securing straps and brackets from
refrigerant piping and couplings before assembling
and piping the units, see pictures below (8 & 10 ton
model shown).
Units may be either hung, or floor mounted. If unit is to
be hung, use all mounting points indicated –
regardless if unit is installed as a package or split
system (refer to typical installation diagram on Page 4-
5). Use of minimum ½ in. dia. hanger rods is strongly
recommended. Ensure the attachment point of the
rods to the building structure is sufficient to support the
unit weight. In order to ensure efficient condensate
drainage, the unit may be pitched towards the
evaporator end of the unit.
A minimum of 4-in. clearance is required under the unit
to allow for trapping of the evaporator condensate
drain. See ‘Typical Service Clearances’ section for
more unit clearance information.

SEPARATION OF UNITS
All models can be ordered with refrigerant shut-off
valves/couplings to allow the evaporator and
condenser sections to be shipped factory-split for
assembly on site without the necessity of reclaiming
the entire unit refrigerant charge. The 2 to 5 ton
models are available with shut-off valves. The 8 and
10 ton models are available with self-sealing brass
refrigerant couplings. A Field Split Coupling Kit is
available for field split applications of the 8 and 10 ton
models ordered with couplings.
Self-Sealing Refrigerant Couplings
The male coupling is fastened to the condenser wall
via a mounting bracket. The 8 ton unit when ordered
as a single packaged unit can be field split. To
separate the couplings, you must use a back up
wrench on the female coupling to avoid stressing the
refrigerant piping (see picture below showing a
packaged unit with couplings).

FORM 145.32-IOM3 (1213)
JOHNSON CONTROLS 9
Once the couplings are unscrewed the female
coupling can be pulled away and allowed to rest in the
opening. No loss of refrigerant will occur due to the
spring-seal mechanism in the couplings.
The evaporator and condenser sections may be
separated by performing the following procedures.
These procedures are for the 2 to 8 ton capacities
only. On the 8 ton model unscrew all four couplings
(pictured above) with the aid of a back-up wrench to
separate the unit:
1) (2 – 5 ton models) Close all refrigerant
isolation valves, on both suction and liquid and
hot gas bypass (if applicable) line. Valves are
not a back-seating design. Caps are wrench
tight. Remove caps and turn stem clockwise to
seat in the closed position.
2) (2 to 5 ton models) Use the valve access ports
to reclaim the refrigerant trapped in the lines
between the pairs of shut-off valves.
Use a TUBING CUTTER ONLY - do not
use hacksaws to cut refrigerant tubing
otherwise serious damage can occur to
refrigeration system!
3) (2 – 5 ton models) Cut the refrigerant line
sections between the pairs of shut-off valves.
It is recommended to make this out where
accessibility is greatest - in the condensing
section of the unit. This will allow best access
for reconnection, or attachment of an
extended line set in the case of a split system.
4) Remove the interconnecting wiring between
the evaporator and condenser electrical panel.
Disconnect the wire terminations in the
condenser electrical panel, and pull the
excess wire into the evaporator panel.
5) Remove the threaded wire bushing connecting
the two electrical panels
6) Remove the unit top-joining strip; Take care to
remove only those screws which attach the
joining strip to the evaporator and condenser
cabinets.
7) Remove the two side cross-member angles.
8) Carefully pull the evaporator section away
from the condenser section. Take care not to
damage the short lengths of refrigerant tubing
extending into the condenser section.
The separated evaporator and condenser modules
may now be individually moved to the desired location
for re-assembly, or separately located for split
applications. Splitting units with couplings will require
a mating coupling kit. See table below. For split
installations, the cross member angles will need to be
field cut for each section length and re-attached.

The couplings must be protected for any
foreign material, dust or debris if they
are left uncapped for any extended
period of time.
When brazing couplings ensure the following is
adhered to:
1) When applying paste flux to copper tube,
avoid applying excessive amounts to avoid
flux running inside coupling where it can cause
corrosion and damage.
2) The coupling should be immersed in cold
water bath, ensuring the diaphragm (threaded)
is fully immersed
3) Double tipped torches are recommended to
reduce brazing time. After brazing quench the
couplings to reduce the temperature.
When assembling the couplings ensure the following:

FORM 145.32-IOM3 (1213)
10 JOHNSON CONTROLS
1) R-410A refrigerant oil is applied to entire
diaphragm surface, o-ring, and threaded male
coupling end.
2) Coupling halves must be held in proper
alignment with each other prior to starting the
threads of the female coupling nut onto the
male half. Thread by hand the first 3 rotations
of the union nut. If nut does not start by hand,
adjust position of the line set or if necessary
position of unit module.
3) Using a back-up wrench tighten the female
union nut until a definite increase in resistance
is felt. At this point most of threads will have
been covered by the nut. Ensure that the
female and male bodies during any portion of
the wrench installation do not rotate.
4) Make note of the location of the female nut to
the bulkhead. Using a marker or scribe to
mark a line lengthwise. Then finally tighten an
additional one wrench flat or 60o. This final
tightening is necessary to ensure a proper
leak proof seal between the couplings.

INTERCONNECTING REFRIGERANT TUBING
After the evaporator and condenser sections have
been mounted, the interconnecting refrigerant tubing
can be fabricated. For cooling systems where the
indoor and outdoor sections are installed at the same
elevation, refrigerant line sizes can be usually
matched with the factory supplied fittings, shown in
the accompanying table below. There are exceptions
for total line lengths exceeding 75 feet where pressure
drop limitations are exceeded. For further information
refer to JCI Application Data Sheet 247077-UAD-H-
0209: “General Piping Recommendations and
Refrigerant Line Length for Split-System Air
Conditioners and Heat Pumps”.
The following guidelines apply to field fabricated
piping:
•Use hard drawn refrigeration type copper tubing
where no appreciable amount of bending around
pipes or obstructions is necessary. If soft copper
must be used, care should be taken to avoid
sharp bends which may cause a restriction.
Route refrigerant tubing for minimum linear length,
and minimum number of bends and fittings. Use
of long radius elbows for all 90-degree bends is
recommended.
•Braze all copper to copper joints with Silfos-5 or
equivalent brazing material. DO NOT USE SOFT
SOLDER.
•During brazing operations, flow an inert gas such
as nitrogen through the system to prevent internal
scaling and contamination.
Traps are not required if the piping is properly sized
as they will only increase the pressure drop across the
system, further reducing capacity.
Once the brazing operation of refrigeration lines is
completed, the field-brazed connections must be
checked for leaks. Pressurize the system to a
minimum of 200 psig. Use soap bubbles or alternate
methods of leak-checking all field brazed joints. After
completion of the leak check, evacuate the
interconnecting lines to hold a 350-micron vacuum. If
gauge pressure rises above 500 microns in one
minute, then evacuation is incomplete or the system
has a leak.

DUCTWORK
When installing ductwork, adhere to local Codes and
sensible practice. Minimize duct runs and avoid abrupt
changes in direction where possible. Allow ample
access space for servicing of the coils and changing
of filters. Perform regular maintenance on ducts to
increase unit life, maintain efficient operation, and
reduce accumulation of explosive dust. Refer to
blower performance charts, and engineer duct runs
and accessory pressure drop so as not to exceed
maximum external static values.
Louver sizing guidelines
One of the key issues in obtaining optimum
performance from indoor air-conditioners is the proper
selection of the condenser intake and discharge
louvers. Unlike outdoor air cooled units, which intake
and discharge their cooling virtually unrestricted,
indoor units must overcome the resistance of grilles or
louvers at the outside wall - plus the restriction of any
interconnecting ductwork.
Our indoor air cooled air-conditioners are designed to
accommodate the external static pressure loss
associated with properly sized louvers of the "storm
proof” type. This type of louver typically has a free
area approximately 40-45% of the actual louver size.
To determine the free area required for any given unit,
adhere to the following guidelines:
-Size condenser air intakes for 500-750
feet/minute nominal velocity (Maximum
recommended 800 feet/minute)
-Size condenser air discharge for 1,200-1,500 feet
/minute nominal velocity (Maximum recommended
1,700 feet/minute)

The use of louvers with higher velocities than above
may be employed, at the discretion of the
engineer/installer, provided that the total air pressure
drop does not exceed the capability of the condenser
fan and motor. The use of low restriction louvers with
shallow blade angles can allow higher face velocities
without excessive static pressure loss.
Exceeding the static pressure capability of the
condenser fan will result in insufficient condenser air
volume. This will cause a loss in system capacity, and
may cause compressor shut-down during high
ambient periods. (Installation of an oversize
condenser motor/drive, where applicable, may be
considered in such cases.)
(As a general rule, these velocities will require an
intake louver sized approximately 1.25 to 1.5 times
the dimensions of the duct connection on the unit, and
a discharge louver sized approximately 1.5 to 2 times
the duct connection dimensions.)
Use only louver sections that provide different
deflection angles for air discharge and air intake, to
ensure the unit does not short circuit. Protect the unit
from weather conditions (rain, snow) entering through
the condenser air intake. All outdoor air ducts should
pitch away from the unit, toward the outside wall.
Connect all ducts to unit with canvas section duct
connectors or choose another suitable noise and
vibration absorbing device.
The Manufacturer will not accept any
liability resulting from incorrect instal-
lation of this equipment. Follow instal-
lation instructions carefully.
ELECTRICAL WIRING
Follow local electrical codes when making electrical
connections. Units are completely factory wired for
normal supply voltages (i.e. 208-230, 460,
575V/3Ph/60Hz) Confirm unit specifications by
checking unit data plate. The factory wiring terminates
in two boxes, one in each section of the unit. The
electrical control boxes are located behind outer
access panels. Each electrical compartment has its
own control cover.
Provide individual power disconnects for each unit, or
each section in the case of split applications. Install a
secure ground to both evaporator and condenser. If
canvas flexible joints are used on ductwork, install a
ground wire to the ductwork as well. Unit requires
installer to provide a 24volt thermostat with
appropriate heating and cooling stages as needed.
The condenser section electrical cover is installed with
wiring diagrams on the inner access door, which must
be opened to read the diagrams
DISCONNECT AND LOCK OUT POWER
WHEN SERVICING UNIT. UNIT MAY
START AUTOMATICALLY IF POWER IS
NOT DISCONNECTED. FAILURE TO DO
SO MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL IN-
JURY OR DEATH DUE TO ELECTRICAL
SHOCK.
PACKAGED UNIT
If unit is to be installed as a packaged unit, the
thermostat (low voltage) wiring and power wiring will
be brought through the evaporator section. Check the
unit nameplate for minimum circuit ampacity and fuse
sizing.
SPLIT SYSTEM
If the unit is a split system application (condenser
section remote from evaporator section), refer to the
wiring diagram below.
IMPORTANT: All wiring must comply
with applicable local and national codes
(NEC). Type and location of disconnect
switches must comply with all applicable
codes.
For low voltage thermostat wiring, 18 Ga. wires may
be used for up to 50 feet lengths. Low voltage runs up
to 125 feet require 16 Ga. wires.
