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 connection with its use.
! WARNING
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 system. 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.
! WARNING
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.
! WARNING
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.

! WARNING
LIVE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS! During installation, testing, servicing, and troubleshooting of this product, it may be necessary to work with live electrical components. Failure to follow all electrical safety precautions when exposed to live electrical components could result in death or serious injury.

STEP 6 - Adjust refrigerant level to attain proper gage pressure.
Add refrigerant if the Liquid Gage Pressure is lower than the chart value.
1. Connect gages to refrigerant bottle and unit as illustrated.
2. Purge all hoses. 3. Open bottle. 4. Stop adding refrigerant when liquid
line temperature and Liquid Gage Pressure matches the charging chart Final Subcooling value.
Recover refrigerant if the Liquid Gage Pressure is higher than the chart value.
STEP 7 - Stabilize the system.
1. Wait 20 minutes for the system condition to stabilize between adjustments.
Note: When the Liquid Line Temperature and Gage Pressure approximately match the chart, the system is properly charged.
2. Remove gages. 3. Replace service port caps to prevent
leaks. Tighten finger tight plus an additional 1/6 turn.
STEP 8 - Verify typical performance.

14.3 Subcooling Charging Below 55º F Outdoor Temp. (In Heating Only)
The Subcooling Charging method in cooling is not recommended below 55º F outdoor temperature.
The only recommended method of charging at outdoor temperatures below 55º F is weighing in the charge in heating mode.

STEP 1 - Determine additional charge.
Note: The nameplate charge value represents the amount of refrigerant shipped in the outdoor unit and is compatible with 10 feet of AHRI rated refrigerant lines and the smallest AHRI rated coil.
Using the method below, find the charge associated with the additional length of tubing above 10 ft. and record it below.
Calculating Charge Using the Weigh-In Method
STEP 1 - Measure in feet the distance between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit. (Include the entire length of the line from the service valve to the IDU.) Subtract 10 ft from this entire length and record on line 1.
STEP 2 - Enter the charge multiplier (0.6 oz/ft). Each linear foot of interconnecting tubing requires the addition of 0.6 oz of refrigerant.
STEP 3 - Multiply the total length of refrigerant tubing (Line 1) times the value on Step 2. Record the result on Line 3 of the Worksheet.
STEP 4 - This is the amount of refrigerant to weighin prior to opening the service valves.
22

Weigh-In Method can be used for the initial installation, or anytime a system charge is being replaced. Weigh-In Method can also be used when power is not available to the equipment site or operating conditions (indoor/outdoor temperatures) are not in range to verify with the subcooling charging method.

STEP 2 - Stabilize the system by operating for a minimum of 20 minutes.
At startup, or whenever charge is removed or added, the system must be operated for a minimum of 20 minutes to stabilize before accurate measurements can be made.

20 MIN.

STEP 3 - Check the liquid line temperature and liquid gage pressure to obtain a minimum of 10º subcooling in heating mode.
Measured Liquid Line Temp = __________ º F
Liquid Gage Pressure = __________ PSIG

STEP 4 - Add charge if a minimum of 10º subcooling is not obtained with the namplate charge plus additional charge previously added.

STEP 5 - Return to site for adjustment.
Important: Return in the spring or summer to accurately charge the system in the cooling mode with outdoor ambient above 55º F.
