IMPORTANT
1. Rotate fan to check for frozen bearings or binding.
2, Inspect all factory- and field-installed wiring for loose
connections.
3, After evacuation is complete, open the liquid line and
vapor line service valves to release the refrigerant
charge (contained in outdoor unit) into the system,
4, Replace the stem caps and tighten as specified in
Operating Service Valves on page 3.
5, Check voltage supply at the disconnect switch. The
voltage must be within the range listed on the unit's
nameplate. If not, do not start the equipment until you
have consulted with the power company and the
voltage condition has been corrected,
6, Set the thermostat for a cooling demand. Turn on
power to the indoor indoor unit and close the outdoor
unit disconnect switch to start the unit.
7, Recheck voltage while the unit is running. Power must
be within range shown on the nameplate,
8, Check system for sufficient refrigerant by using the
procedures listed under Testing and Charging
System,
TESTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM
This system uses HFC-410A refrigerant which operates at
much higher pressures than HCFC-22. The pre-installed
liquid line filter drier is approved for use with HFC-410A
only, Do not replace liquid line filter drier with components
designed for use with HCFC-22,
NOTE - This unit is NOT approved for use with coils which
use capillary tubes as a refrigerant metering device,
SETTING UP TO CHECK CHARGE
1. Close manifold gauge set valves. Connect the center
manifold hose to an upright cylinder of HFC-410A.
2. Connect the manifold gauge set to the unit's service
ports as illustrated in figure 25,
•low pressure gauge to vapor service port
• high pressure gauge to liquid service port
COOLING MODE INDOOR AIRFLOW CHECK
Check airflow using the Delta-T (DT) process as illustrated
in figure 26 on page 16.
HEATING MODE INDOOR AIRFLOW CHECK
Blower airflow (CFM) may be calculated by energizing
electric heat and measuring:
• temperature rise between the return air and supply air
temperatures at the indoor coil blower unit,
• voltage supplied to the unit,
• amperage being drawn by the heat unit(s),
Then, apply the measurements taken in following formula
to determine CFM:
CFM = Amps x Volts x 3.41
1.08 x Temperature rise (F)
CALCULATING CHARGE
If the system is void of refrigerant, first, locate and repair
any leaks and then weigh in the refrigerant charge into the
unit, To calculate the total refrigerant charge:
