2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The (-)ASL-series of condensing units are designed to operate using the Comfort
Contro 2System™ or traditional 24VAC controls. These units are equipped with the
Comfort Contro 2. Your installation must have these components to use Comfort
Contro 2System™ :
• (-)ASL condensing unit equipped with the Comfort Contro 2System™
• An air handler or furnace equipped with the Comfort Contro 2System™
•AComfort Contro 2thermostat
If your installation does not meet the above requirements, you must use traditional
24VAC controls.
This installation instruction manual contains complete instructions for installation
and setup using Comfort Contro 2or conventional 24VAC controls. Please refer to
the ngineering Specification Sheets for complete performance data, thermostat,
and accessory listings.
The information contained in this manual has been prepared to assist in the proper
installation, operation and maintenance of the air conditioning system. Improper
installation, or installation not made in accordance with these instructions, can result
in unsatisfactory operation and/or dangerous conditions (noise and component fail-
ure), and can cause the related warranty not to apply.
Read this manual and any instructions packaged with separate equipment required
to make up the system prior to installation. Retain this manual for future reference.
To achieve optimum efficiency and capacity, the indoor cooling coils listed in the
condensing unit specification sheet should be used.
2.1 CHECKING PRODUCT RECEIVED
Upon receiving unit, inspect it for any shipping damage. Claims for damage, either
apparent or concealed, should be filed immediately with the shipping company.
Check condensing unit model number, electrical characteristics and accessories to
determine if they are correct. Check system components (evaporator coil, condens-
ing unit, evaporator blower, etc.) to make sure they are properly matched.
2.2 APPLICATION
Before specifying any air conditioning equipment, a survey of the structure and a
heat gain calculation must be made. A heat gain calculation begins by measuring
all external surfaces and openings that gain heat from the surrounding air and
quantifying that heat gain. A heat gain calculation also calculates the extra heat
load caused by sunlight and by humidity removal.
Air conditioning systems are sized on the cooling load calculation. There are two
capacities that enable the equipment to provide comfort. The first is sensible capacity.
Sensible heat is the heat energy measured on the dry bulb thermometer as it is
added or removed.
The second form of heat is called latent or hidden heat. This is heat held in the
humidity in the air.
A properly-sized unit removes both forms of heat, producing a comfortable living
space. An oversized system cycles on and off too quickly and does not properly
remove humidity, producing an uncomfortable living space. Select the indoor and
outdoor equipment combination based on the manufacturer’s engineering data.
After the equipment combination has been selected, satisfying both sensible and
latent conditioning requirements, the system must be properly installed. Only then
can the unit provide the comfort the manufacturer intends.
There are several factors that the installers must consider:
• Outdoor unit location • Proper equipment evacuation
• System refrigerant charge • Indoor unit airflow
• Indoor unit blower speed • Supply and return air duct design and sizing
• System air balancing • Diffuser and return air grille location and sizing

2.5 PROPER INSTALLATION
Proper sizing and installation of this equipment is critical to achieve optimal perfor-
mance. Use the information in this Installation Instruction Manual and reference the
applicable ngineering Specification Sheet when installing this product.
MPORTANT: This product has been designed and manufactured to meet N R-
GY STAR®criteria for energy efficiency when matched with appropriate coil compo-
nents. However, proper refrigerant charge and proper airflow are critical to achieve
rated capacity and efficiency. Installation of this product should follow the manufac-
turer’s refrigerant charging and airflow instructions. Failure to confirm proper
charge and airflow may reduce energy efficiency and shorten equipment life.
3.0 LOCATING UNIT
3.1 Corrosive Environment
The metal parts of this unit may be subject to rust or deterioration if exposed to a
corrosive environment. This oxidation could shorten the equipment’s useful life.
Corrosive elements include, but are not limited to, salt spray, fog or mist in seacoast
areas, sulphur or chlorine from lawn watering systems, and various chemical conta-
minants from industries such as paper mills and petroleum refineries.
If the unit is to be installed in an area where contaminants are likely to be a prob-
lem, special attention should be given to the equipment location and exposure.
• Avoid having lawn sprinkler heads spray directly on the unit cabinet.
• In coastal areas, locate the unit on the side of the building away from the water-
front.
• Shielding provided by a fence or shrubs may give some protection, but cannot
violate minimum airflow and service access clearances.
• levating the unit off its slab or base enough to allow air circulation will help
avoid holding water against the basepan.
Regular maintenance will reduce the build-up of contaminants and help to protect
the unit’s finish.
• Frequent washing of the cabinet, fan blade and coil with fresh water will remove
most of the salt or other contaminants that build up on the unit.
• Regular cleaning and waxing of the cabinet with a good automobile polish will
provide some protection.
• A good liquid cleaner may be used several times a year to remove matter that
will not wash off with water.
Several different types of protective coatings are offered in some areas. These
coatings may provide some benefit, but the effectiveness of such coating materials
cannot be verified by the equipment manufacturer.
3.2 CONDENSER LOCATION
Consult local and national building codes and ordinances for special installation
requirements. Following location information will provide longer life and simplified
servicing of the outdoor condenser.
NOTE: These units must be installed outdoors. No ductwork can be attached, or
other modifications made, to the discharge grille. Modifications will affect perfor-
mance or operation.
!WARNING
D SCONNECT ALL POWER TO UN T BEFORE START NG

3.3 Operational Issues
•MPORTANT: Locate the unit in a manner that will not prevent, impair or com-
promise the performance of other equipment horizontally installed in proximity
to the unit. Maintain all required minimum distances to gas and electric meters,
dryer vents, exhaust and inlet openings. In the absence of National Codes, or
manufacturers’ recommendations, local code recommendations and require-
ments will take precedence.
• Refrigerant piping and wiring should be properly sized and kept as short as
possible to avoid capacity losses and increased operating costs.
• Locate the unit where water run off will not create a problem with the equip-
ment. Position the unit away from the drip edge of the roof whenever possible.
Units are weatherized, but can be affected by the following:
o Water pouring into the unit from the junction of rooflines, without protective
guttering. Large volumes of water entering the heat pump while in operation
can impact fan blade or motor life, and coil damage may occur to a heat
pump if moisture cannot drain from the unit under freezing conditions.
o Freezing moisture, or sleeting conditions, can cause the cabinet to ice-over
prematurely and prevent heat pump operation, requiring backup heat, which
generally results in less economical operation.
• Closely follow clearance recommendations on Page 6.
o 24” to the service panel access
o 60” above heat pump fan discharge (unit top) to prevent recirculation
o 6” to heat pump coil grille air inlets
3.4 For Units With Space Limitations
FOR CONDENSERS WITH SPACE LIMITATIONS
In the event that a space limitation exists, we will permit the following clearances:
Single Unit Applications: Clearances below 6 inches will reduce unit capacity and
efficiency. Do not reduce the 60-inch discharge, or the 24-inch service clearances.
Multiple Unit Applications: When multiple condenser grille sides are aligned, a 6-
inch per unit clearance is recommended, for a total of 12” between two units. Two
combined clearances below 12 inches will reduce capacity and efficiency. Do not
reduce the 60-inch discharge, or 24-inch service, clearances.
3.5 Customer Satisfaction Issues
• The condensing unit should be located away from the living, sleeping and
recreational spaces of the owner and those spaces on adjoining property.
• To prevent noise transmission, the mounting pad for the outdoor unit should not
be connected to the structure, and should be located sufficient distance above
grade to prevent ground water from entering the unit.
3.6 Unit Mounting
If elevating the condensing unit, either on a flat roof or on a slab, observe the
following guidelines.
• The base pan provided elevates the heat pump 3/4” above the base pad.
• If elevating a unit on a flat roof, use 4” x 4” (or equivalent) stringers positioned
to distribute unit weight evenly and prevent noise and vibration (see Figure 2).
NOTE: Do not block drain openings shown in Figure 1.
3.7 Factory-Preferred Tie-Down Method for Outdoor Units
MPORTANT: The Manufacturer approved/recommended method is a guide to secur-
ing equipment for wind and seismic loads. Other methods might provide the same
result, but the Manufacturer method is the only one endorsed by Manufacturer for
securing equipment where wind or earthquake damage can occur. Additional informa-
tion is available in the PTS (Product Technical Support) section of the Manufacturer
website Rheemote.net and can be found as a listing under each outdoor model. If you
do not have access to this site, your Distributor can offer assistance.

CAUTION
R-410A systems operate at higher pressures than R-22 systems. Do not use
R-22 service equipment or components on R-410A equipment.
F GURE 2
RECOMMENDED ELEVATED NSTALLAT ON

MPORTANT: The Rheem approved/recommended method is a guide to securing
equipment for wind and seismic loads. Other methods might provide the same result,
but the Rheem method is the only one endorsed by Rheem for securing equipment
where wind or earthquake damage can occur. Additional information is available in
the PTS (Product Technical Support) section of the Rheem website Rheemote.net
and can be found as a listing under each outdoor model. If you do not have access
to this site, your Distributor can offer assistance.
4.2 Specifications of R-410A
Application: R-410A is not a drop-in replacement for R-22; equipment designs
must accommodate its higher pressures. It cannot be retrofitted into R-22 heat
pumps.
Physical Properties: R-410A has an atmospheric boiling point of -62.9°F and its
saturation pressure at 77°F is 224.5 psig.
Composition: R-410A is an azeotropic mixture of 50% by weight difluoromethane
(HFC-32) and 50% by weight pentafluoroethane (HFC-125).
Pressure: The pressure of R-410A is approximately 60% (1.6 times) greater
than R-22. Recovery and recycle equipment, pumps, hoses and the like need to
have design pressure ratings appropriate for R-410A. Manifo d sets need to range
up to 800 psig high-side and 250 psig ow-side with a 550 psig ow-side retard.
Hoses need to have a service pressure rating of 800 psig. Recovery cy inders need
to have a 400 psig service pressure rating. DOT 4BA400 or DOT BW400.
Combustibility: At pressures above 1 atmosphere, mixture of R-410A and air can
become combustible. R-410A and air should never be mixed in tanks or supply
lines, or be allowed to accumulate in storage tanks. Leak checking should
never be done with a mixture of R-410A and air. Leak checking can be per-
formed safely with nitrogen or a mixture of R-410A and nitrogen.
4.3 Quick Reference Guide For R-410A
• R-410A refrigerant operates at approximately 60% higher pressure (1.6 times)
than R-22. nsure that servicing equipment is designed to operate with R-410A.
• R-410A refrigerant cylinders are pink in color.
• R-410A, as with other HFC’s is only compatible with PO oils.
• Vacuum pumps will not remove moisture from oil.
• R-410A systems are to be charged with liquid refrigerants. Prior to March 1999,
R-410A refrigerant cylinders had a dip tube. These cylinders should be kept
upright for equipment charging. Post March 1999 cylinders do not have a dip tube
and should be inverted to ensure liquid charging of the equipment.
• Do not install a suction line filter drier in the liquid line.
• A liquid line filter drier is standard on every unit. Only manufacturer approved liq-
uid line filter driers can be used. These are Sporlan (CW083S) and Alco
(80K083S) driers. These filter driers are rated for minimum working pressure of
600 psig.
• Desiccant (drying agent) must be compatible for PO oils and R-410A.

5.0 REPLACEMENT UNITS
To prevent failure of a new condensing unit, the existing evaporator tubing system
must be correctly sized and cleaned or replaced. Care must be exercised that the
expansion device is not plugged. For new and replacement units, a liquid line filter
drier should be installed and refrigerant tubing should be properly sized. Test the oil
for acid. If positive, a suction line filter drier is mandatory.
MPORTANT: WH N R PLACING AN R-22 UNIT WITH AN R-410A UNIT,
ITH R R PLAC TH LIN S T OR NSUR THAT TH XISTING LIN S T
IS THOROUGHLY CL AN D OF ANY OLD OIL OR D BRIS.
6.0 INDOOR COIL
REFER TO NDOOR CO L MANUFACTURER’S NSTALLAT ON NSTRUC-
T ONS.
MPORTANT: The manufacturer is not responsible for the performance and opera-
tion of a mismatched system, or for a match listed with another manufacturer’s coil.
NOTE: All (-)ASL units must be installed with a TXV Evaporator.
The thermostatic expansion valve is specifically designed to operate with R-410A.
DO NOT use an R-22 TXV or evaporator. The existing evaporator must be
replaced with the factory specified TXV evaporator specifically designed for
R-410A.
6.1 Location
Do not install the indoor coil in the return duct system of a gas or oil furnace.
Provide a service inlet to the coil for inspection and cleaning. Keep the coil pitched
toward the drain connection.
7.0 INTERCONNECTING TUBING
7.1 Vapor and Liquid Lines
Keep all lines sealed until connection is made.
Make connections at the indoor coil first.
Refer to Line Size Information in Tables 3, 4, 5 and 6 for correct size and multipliers
to be used to determine capacity for various vapor line diameters and lengths of run.
The losses due to the lines being exposed to outdoor conditions are not included.
The factory refrigeration charge in the outdoor unit is sufficient for 15 feet of inter-
connecting lines. The factory refrigeration charge in the outdoor unit is sufficient for
the unit and 15 feet of standard size interconnecting liquid and vapor lines. For dif-
ferent lengths, adjust the charge as indicated below.
1/4” ± .3 oz. per foot
5/16” ± .4 oz. per foot
3/8” ± .6 oz. per foot
1/2” ± 1.2 oz. per foot
11
!CAUTION
Only use evaporators approved for use on R-410A systems. Use of existing R-22
evaporators can introduce mineral oil to the R-410A refrigerant forming two differ-
ent liquids and decreasing oil return to the compressor. This can result in com-
pressor failure.
!CAUTION
When coil is installed over a finished ceiling and/or living area, it is
recommended that a secondary sheet metal condensate pan be
constructed and installed under entire unit. Failure to do so can result
in property damage.

12
7.2 Maximum Length of Lines
The maximum length of interconnecting line is 150 feet. Always use the shortest
length possible with a minimum number of bends. Additional compressor oil is not
required for any length up to 150 feet.
NOTE: xcessively long refrigerant lines cause loss of equipment capacity.
7.3 Outdoor Unit Installed Above or Below Indoor Coil
Use the following guidelines when installing the unit:
1. xpansion Valve Coil:
a. The vertical separation cannot exceed the value in Tables 4, 5, and 6.
b. No changes are required for expansion valve coils.
2. It is recommended to use the smallest liquid line size permitted to minimize the
system charge.
3. Tables 4, 5, and 6 may be used for sizing horizontal runs.
7.4 Tubing Installation
Observe the following when installing correctly sized type “L” refrigerant tubing
between the condensing unit and evaporator coil:
• If a portion of the liquid line passes through a hot area where liquid refrigerant
can be heated to form vapor, insulating the liquid line is required.
• Use clean, dehydrated, sealed refrigeration grade tubing.
• Always keep tubing sealed until tubing is in place and connections are to be
made.
• Blow out the liquid and vapor lines with dry nitrogen before connecting to the
outdoor unit and indoor coil. Any debris in the line set will end up plugging the
expansion device.
• As an added precaution, a high quality filter drier is standard on R-410A units.
• Do not allow the vapor line and liquid line to be in contact with each other. This
causes an undesirable heat transfer resulting in capacity loss and increased
power consumption. The vapor line must be insulated.
• If tubing has been cut, make sure ends are deburred while holding in a position
to prevent chips from falling into tubing. Burrs such as those caused by tubing
cutters can affect performance dramatically, particularly on small liquid line
sizes.

• For best operation, keep tubing run as short as possible with a minimum num-
ber of elbows or bends.
• Locations where the tubing will be exposed to mechanical damage should be
avoided. If it is necessary to use such locations, the copper tubing should be
housed to prevent damage.
• If tubing is to be run underground, it must be run in a sealed watertight chase.
• Use care in routing tubing and do not kink or twist. Use a good tubing bender
on the vapor line to prevent kinking.
• Route the tubing using temporary hangers, then straighten the tubing and
install permanent hangers. Line must be adequately supported.
•The vapor line must be insulated to prevent dripping (sweating) and prevent
performance losses. Armaflex and Rubatex are satisfactory insulations for this
purpose. Use 1/2” minimum insulation thickness, additional insulation may be
required for long runs.
• Check Table 3 for the correct vapor line size. Check Table 4 for the correct liq-
uid line size.
7.5 Tubing Connections
Indoor coils have only a holding charge of dry nitrogen. Keep all tube ends sealed
until connections are to be made.
• Use type “L” copper refrigeration tubing. Braze the connections with the follow-
ing alloys:
– copper to copper - 5%
– Silver alloy (no flux)
– copper to steel or brass - 35%
– silver alloy (with flux)
• Be certain both refrigerant shutoff valves at the outdoor unit are closed.
• Clean the inside of the fittings and outside of the tubing with steel wool or sand
cloth before soldering. Always keep chips, steel wool, dirt, etc., out of the inside
when cleaning.
• Assemble tubing part way into fitting. Apply flux all around the outside of the
tubing and push tubing into stop. This procedure will keep the flux from getting
inside the system.
• Remove the cap and schrader core from service port to protect seals from heat
damage.
• Use an appropriate heatsink material around the copper stub and the service
valves before applying heat.
•MPORTANT: Do not braze any fitting with the T V sensing bulb attached.
• Braze the tubing between the outdoor unit and indoor coil. Flow dry nitrogen
into a service port and through the tubing while brazing.
• After brazing – use an appropriate heatsink material to cool the joint and
remove any flux residue.
• The service valves are not backseating valves. To open the valves, remove the
valve cap with an adjustable wrench. Insert a 3/16” or 5/16” hex wrench into the
stem. Back out counterclockwise.
• Replace the valve cap finger tight then tighten an additional 1/2 hex flat for a
metal-to-metal seal.
7.6 Leak Testing
• Pressurize line set and coil through service fittings with dry nitrogen to 150
PSIG maximum. Leak test all joints using liquid detergent. If a leak is found,
recover pressure and repair.
!WARNING
DO NOT USE OXYGEN TO PURGE L NES OR PRESSUR ZE SYSTEM FOR
LEAK TEST. OXYGEN REACTS V OLENTLY W TH O L, WH CH CAN
CAUSE AN EXPLOS ON RESULT NG N SEVERE PERSONAL NJURY OR
DEATH.

8.0 DUAL DRIVE COMPRESSORS
The -039, -048, & -060 condensing units contain two compressors to deliver maxi-
mum efficiency and comfort. The Dual Drive Compressors are sized to increase run
times at first stage operation (partial capacity). When additional capacity is needed,
a two stage thermostat energizes both compressors to deliver full rated capacity.
8.1 Compressor Identification
The individual compressors are identified as Compressor A and Compressor B.
When facing the access panel, Compressor A is on the left and Compressor B is on
the right. (See Figure 4.)
8.2 Comfort Control2System™ Control Identification
The Dual Drive condensing units use one (1) serial communicating control per com-
pressor. There is a label in the control box that identifies each control/compressor
combination. When facing the access panel, Compressor A is controlled by the left-
hand board and Compressor B is controlled by the right-hand board.
16
F GURE 5
F GURE 4
DUAL DR VE COMPRESSORS
COMPRESSOR A COMPRESSOR B

8.3 Comfort Control2System™ Control Operation
A Dual Drive unit has two controls instead of a single control. The controls are the
same as any residential communicating control except the secondary control dip-
switches (SW5) should be in the off position. Therefore, the features such as fault
recall and the operation of the test button are the same as any J C control.
The two controls are identical and interchangeable, but the memory cards that
attach to the controls are not interchangeable. This allows the controls to be
swapped for troubleshooting if one of the controls is suspected of being defective. If
the controls are swapped, it is important to keep the memory cards in the proper
locations. Do not cut the tethers on the memory cards!
8.4 Lead/Lag
Tandem compressor ASL units now have a Lead/Lag functionality built into the con-
trol software. The purpose of Lead/Lag is to average the runtime of the compres-
sors to give the homeowner the greatest compressor life possible. Upon receiving a
first stage call, the primary compressor control (the control on the left as you face
the control box) will alternate which compressor services the call. An example of
Lead/Lag is: if compressor A is energized on one first stage call, compressor B
would normally service the next first stage call.
9.0 COMPRESSOR CRANKCASE HEAT (CCH)
CCH is standard on these models due to refrigerant migration during the off cycle
that can result in a noisy start up.
Crankcase Heater Operation:
Supplemental Crankcase heat is required to prevent refrigerant migration in sys-
tems with relatively high system refrigerant charges. ach Dual Drive compressor
has its own crankcase heater.
The crankcase heater control is integrated into the Comfort Contro 2System™ and
is designed for maximum energy savings.
Summary of operation:
• The crankcase heater is off whenever the compressor is running.
• Once the compressor turns off, the crankcase heater control (CCH) begins the
two-hour timer countdown.
• If the compressor stays off for two hours, the CCH turns on the crankcase heater.
All heaters are located on the lower half of the compressor shell. Its purpose is to
drive refrigerant from the compressor shell during long off cycles, thus preventing
damage to the compressor during start-up.
At initial start-up or after extended shutdown periods, make sure the heater is ener-
gized for at least 12 hours before the compressor is started. (Disconnect switch on
and wall thermostat off.)
10.0 HARD START COMPONENTS
Factory-installed start components are standard on all models.
11.0 HIGH AND LOW PRESSURE CONTROLS
10.0 (HPC AND LPC)
These controls keep the compressor from operating in pressure ranges which can
cause damage to the compressor. Both controls are in the low voltage control cir-
cuit.
High pressure control (HPC) is an automatic-reset which opens near 610 PSIG and
closes near 420 PSIG.
The low pressure control (LPC) is an automatic-reset which opens near 50 PSIG
and closes near 95 PSIG.
NOTE: HPC and LPC are monitored by the Comfort Contro 2System™. See
Section 12.0.
17

11.1 Evacuation Procedure
vacuation is the most important part of the entire service procedure. The life and
efficiency of the equipment is dependent upon the thoroughness exercised by the
serviceman when evacuating air and moisture from the system.
Air in the system causes high condensing temperatures and pressure, resulting in
increased power input and non-verifiable performance.
Moisture chemically reacts with the refrigerant and oil to form corrosive hydrofluoric
and hydrochloric acids. These attack motor windings and parts, causing breakdown.
After the system has been leak checked and proven sealed, connect the vacuum
pump and evacuate system to 500 microns. The vacuum pump must be connected
to both the high and low sides of the system through adequate connections. Use
the largest size connections available since restrictive service connections may lead
to false readings because of pressure drop through the fittings.
MPORTANT: Compressors (especially scroll type) should never be used to evacu-
ate the air conditioning system because internal electrical arcing may result in a
damaged or failed compressor.
With thermostat in the “Off” position, turn the power on to the furnace and the heat
pump. Start the heat pump and the furnace with the thermostat. Make sure the
blower is operating.

NNoottee::Comfort Contro 2System™ requires 18 AWG thermostat wire.
NNoottee::T RM dipswitches should be in ON position.
If the low voltage control wiring is run in conduit with the power supply, Class I insu-
lation is required. Class II insulation is required if run separate. Low voltage wiring
may be run through the insulated bushing provided in the 7/8 hole in the base
panel, up to and attached to the pigtails from the bottom of the control box. Conduit
can be run to the base panel if desired by removing the insulated bushing.
The serial communicating air handler or serial communicating furnace transformer
is equipped with a 24 volt, 50 VA transformer for proper system operation. See the
wiring diagram in Figure 5 for reference.
