Section 1. Safety

WARNING

This information is intended for use by individuals

possessing adequate backgrounds of electrical and

mechanical experience. Any attempt to repair a central

air conditioning product may result in personal injury

and/or property damage. The manufacture or seller

cannot be responsible for the interpretation of this

information, nor can it assume any liability in connec-

tion with its use.

These units use R-410A refrigerant which operates

at 50 to 70% higher pressures than R-22. Use only

R-410A approved service equipment. Refrigerant

cylinders are painted a “Rose” color to indicate the

type of refrigerant and may contain a “dip” tube to

allow for charging of liquid refrigerant into the sys-

tem. All R-410A systems use a POE oil that readily

absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. To limit this

“hygroscopic” action, the system should remain sealed

whenever possible. If a system has been open to the

atmosphere for more than 4 hours, the compressor oil

must be replaced. Never break a vacuum with air and

always change the driers when opening the system

for component replacement. For specific handling

concerns with R-410A and POE oil reference Retrofit

Bulletins SS-APG006-EN and APP-APG011-EN or

APP-APG012-EN.

Extreme caution should be exercised when opening

the Liquid Line Service Valve. Turn counterclockwise

until the valve stem just touches the rolled edge. No

torque is required. Failure to follow this warning will

result in abrupt release of system charge and may

result in personal injury and /or property damage.

UNIT CONTAINS R-410A REFRIGERANT!

R-410A operating pressures exceed the limit of R-22.

Proper service equipment is required. Failure to use

proper service tools may result in equipment damage

or personal injury.

SERVICE

USE ONLY R-410A REFRIGERANT AND AP-

PROVED POE COMPRESSOR OIL.

2.3 Suggested Locations for Best Reliability

Ensure the top discharge area is unrestricted for at least

five (5) feet above the unit.

Three (3) feet clearance must be provided in front of the

control box (access panels) and any other side requiring

service.

It is not recommended to install in a location where noise

may distract the building occupants. Some examples of

these types of locations are sleeping quarters and by

windows of a living area. Please discuss location with the

building owner prior to installation.

Avoid locations such as near windows where condensa-

tion and freezing defrost vapor can annoy a customer.

Position the outdoor unit a minimum of 12” from any wall

or surrounding shrubbery to ensure adequate airflow.

Outdoor unit location must be far enough away from any

structure to prevent excess roof runoff water or icicles

from falling directly on the unit.

4 18-AC79D1-10E-EN

2.4 Cold Climate Considerations

NOTE: It is recommended that these precautions be taken for units being installed in areas where snow accumula-

tion and prolonged below freezing temperatures occur.

• Units should be elevated 3-12 inches above the pad or rooftop, depending on local weather. This additional

height will allow drainage of snow and ice melted during defrost cycle prior to its refreezing. Ensure that drain

holes in unit base pan are not obstructed preventing draining of defrost water.

• If possible, avoid locations that are likely to accumulate snow drifts. If not possible, a snow drift barrier should be

installed around the unit to prevent a build-up of snow on the sides of the unit.

2.5 Coastal Considerations

If installed within one mile of salt water, including seacoasts and inland waterways, models without factory sup-

plied Seacoast Salt Shields require the addition of BAYSEAC001 (Seacoast Kit) at installation time.

STEP 2 - To remove the unit from the pallet, remove tabs by cutting with a sharp tool.

Section 3. Unit Preparation

3.1 Prepare The Unit For Installation

STEP 1 - Check for damage and report promptly to the carrier any damage found to the unit.

Section 4. Setting the Unit

4.1 Pad Installation

When installing the unit on a support pad, such as a concrete slab, consider the following:

• The pad should be at least 1” larger than the unit on all sides.

• The pad must be separate from any structure.

• The pad must be level.

• The pad should be high enough above grade to allow for drainage.

• The pad location must comply with National, State, and Local codes.

For other applications refer to application guide.

5.5 Reuse Existing Refrigerant Lines

For retrofit applications, where the existing indoor evaporator coil and/or refrigerant lines will be used, the following

precautions should be taken:

• Ensure that the indoor evaporator coil and refrigerant lines are the correct size.

• Ensure that the refrigerant lines are free of leaks, acid, and oil.

CAUTION

If using existing refrigerant lines make certain that all joints are brazed, not soldered.

Section 6. Refrigerant Line Routing

6.1 Precautions

Important: Take precautions to prevent noise

within the building structure due to vibration

transmission from the refrigerant lines.

For Example:

• When the refrigerant lines have to be fastened to floor joists or other framing in a structure, use isolation type

hangers.

• Isolation hangers should also be used when refrigerant lines are run in stud spaces or enclosed ceilings.

• Where the refrigerant lines run through a wall or sill, they should be insulated and isolated.

• Isolate the lines from all ductwork.

• Minimize the number of 90º turns.

Comply with National, State, and Local Codes when

isolating line sets from joists, rafters, walls, or other

structural elements.
