Read Your Warranty
Please read the separate warranty document completely. It contains valuable information about your system.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Read the following instructions completely before performing the installation.
Outdoor Unit Section — Each outdoor unit is shipped with a refrigerant holding charge.
NOTE: DO NOT USE ANY PORTION OF THE CHARGE FOR PURGING OR LEAK TESTING.
Matching indoor coils and air handlers may be shipped with a small holding charge to pressurize them to keep out contaminants. To release the pressure, read the indoor section installation instructions carefully.
Liquid and Suction Lines — Fully annealed, refrigerant grade copper tubing should be used when installing the system. Refrigerant suction line tubing should be fully insulated.
Field Connections for Electrical Power Supply — All wiring must comply with current provisions of the “National Electrical Code” (ANSI/NFPA 70) and with applicable local codes having jurisdiction. The minimum size of electrical conductors and circuit protection must be in compliance with information listed on the outdoor unit data label.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Pressures within the System — Split system heat pump equipment contains liquid and gaseous refrigerant under pressure. Installation and servicing of this equipment should be accomplished by qualified, trained personnel thoroughly familiar with this type of equipment. Under no circumstances should the Homeowner attempt to install and/or service the equipment.
Labels, Tags, Precautions — When working with this equipment, follow all precautions in the literature, on tags, and on labels provided with the equipment.Read and thoroughly understand
the instructions provided with the equipment prior to performing the installation and operational checkout of the equipment.
Brazing Operations — Installation of equipment may require brazing operations. Safety codes must be complied with. Safety equipment (e.g.; safety glasses, work gloves, fire extinguisher, etc.) must be used when performing brazing operations.
WARNING:
Ensure all electrical power to the unit is off prior to installing or servicing the equipment. Failure to do so may cause personal injury or death.
SITE PREPARATION
Unpacking Equipment — Remove the cardboard carton and User’s Manual from the equipment. Take care to not damage tubing connections when removing from the carton.
Inspect for Damage — Inspect the equipment for damage prior to installing the equipment at the job site. Ensure coil fins are straight and, if necessary, comb fins to remove flattened and bent fins.
Preferred Location of the Outdoor Unit at the Job Site — Conduct a survey of the job site to determine the optimum location for mounting the outdoor unit. Overhead obstructions, poorly ventilated areas, and areas subject to accumulation of debris should be avoided. The outdoor unit should be installed no closer than 18 inches from the outside walls of the facility and in an area free from overhead obstructions to ensure unrestricted airflow through the outdoor unit.
Facility Prerequisites — Electrical power supplied must be adequate for proper operation of the equipment.The system must be wired and provided with circuit protection in accordance with local building codes and the National Electrical Code.
