• The indoor section (air handler, furnace, etc) should be installed before routing the refrigerant tubing. Refer to the indoor unit's installation instructions for installation details.
• All units are securely packed at the time of shipment and upon arrival should be carefully inspected for damage prior to installing the equipment at the job site. Verify coil fins are straight. If necessary, comb fins to remove flattened or bent fins. Claims for damage (apparent or concealed) should be filed immediately with the carrier.
• Please consult your dealer for maintenance information and availability of maintenance contracts. Please read all instructions before installing the unit.

Packaging Removal

NOTE: To prevent damage to the tubing connections, carefully remove the carton and user's manual from the equipment. Discard the shipping carton.

Locating the Air Conditioner

• Survey the job site to determine the best location for mounting the outdoor unit.
• Sufficient clearance for unobstructed airflow through the outdoor coil must be maintained in order to achieve rated performance. See Figure 1 for minimum clearances to obstructions.
• Overhead obstructions (Figure 1), poorly ventilated areas, and areas subject to accumulation of debris should be avoided.
• The unit should not be placed under roofing or other overhangs which are not guttered; that would allow water or ice to fall into the unit's discharge opening.
• Consideration should be given to availability of electric power, service access, noise, and shade.

Clearance Requirements

• The general recommendation is for the units to be installed with 18 inches of clearance on 3 sides and with 24 inches of clearance for the service access side to the unit's service panel.
• For installations that are space constrained, one side of the unit, adjacent to the service panel, may have its air side clearance reduced to a minimum of 6 inches. The other side adjacent to the service panel requires 24 inches for service access. The remaining two sides, at a minimum shall require 12 inches of clearance.
• A minimum of 18 inches between two units must be maintained for proper performance.

Ground Installations

The unit should be installed on a solid base that is level and located at least 2 inches above grade*. Note: It is recommended that poured concrete mounting bases are not be attached or adjacent to the building structure or foundation.

Roof Installation

The unit may only be installed on a structure that is capable of supporting the total weight of the unit and its anchorage. The support for the base of the unit may not slope more than 1/8 inch per foot. The minimum clearance for the base of the unit to the roof-line is 2 inches* for residential applications.

Note on ground and roof clearances: Heat pump and other applications should account for the accumulation of snow and raise the base of the unit accordingly. (At a minimum, a 6 inch clearance is required.)

Accessory Mounting Kits

Kits for other mounting methods and accessories can be found in the technical sales literature for the unit. Or the literature library on NortekHVAC.com.

Connecting Refrigerant Tubing Between the Indoor & Outdoor Unit

CAUTION: When servicing, cover or seal openings to minimize the exposure of the refrigerant system to air to prevent accumulation of moisture and other contaminants.

After outdoor and indoor unit placement has been determined, route refrigerant tubing between the equipment in accordance with sound installation practices.

• Refrigerant tubing should be routed in a manner that minimizes the length of tubing and the number of bends in the tubing. If precise forming of refrigerant lines is required, a copper tubing bender is recommended. Avoid sharp bends and contact of the refrigerant lines with metal surfaces.
• Refrigerant tubing should be supported in a manner that the tubing will not vibrate or abrade during system operation.
• Tubing and quick connect couplings should be kept clean of foreign debris during installation.
• Every effort should be made by the installer to ensure that the field installed refrigerant containing components of the system have been installed in accordance with these instructions and sound installation practices to insure reliable system operation and longevity.
• The maximum recommended interconnecting refrigerant line lengths is 75 ft. and the vertical elevation difference between the indoor and outdoor sections should not exceed 20 ft.
• Optional equipment such as liquid line solenoid valves, low ambient, etc., should be installed in strict accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions.
• These units are equipped with a factory installed, liquid line filter-drier within the outdoor unit. Installers should ensure that only one filter-drier is installed in the liquid line of the system.
• These units are equipped with single shot quick connect couplings. Together with the indoor section and line set, only four coupling connections are required to provide a 100% sealed system.

Coupling the Line-Set to the Unit

Nortek approved line-sets are factory sealed assemblies, vacuumed properly and pre-charged with a refrigerant holding charge. Always verify that the refrigerant within the line-set matches the refrigerant called out on the unit nameplate. It is recommended to only work on and complete one quick-connection coupling at a time.

After the line-set has been properly routed between the units, prepare the couplers and connect them in accordance with the following.

1. Inspect the outside of the couplings and ensure that they are free of any dirt or debris. Clean, if necessary.
2. Remove the protective caps and plugs from the couplings to be joined. Inspect the interior of the coupling. If necessary, clean the interior of the coupling with a clean, soft, lint-free rag or cloth. Ensure that o-ring is in place and that the threads are clean and undamaged.
3. Apply clean refrigerant oil to the entire surface of the diaphragm, o-ring and threaded area of the male coupling assembly. The amount of lubricant used must cover all designated surfaces sufficiently. Ideal application is a small brush with lubricant applied liberally. As an alternate, another acceptable lubricant would be a refrigerant compatible silicone grease product similar to Dow Corning DC200/60,000 cst. Nortek approved line-set kits include a packet of silicone grease for use.
4. Ensure that the couplers to be joined are properly aligned with each other. The end faces of the couplers should be parallel with each other and visually in-line down the center axis of the couplers. By hand, start threading the nut on the female coupler onto the male for 2-3 full thread rotations of the union nut. This should bring the diaphragm of both couplers into contact with each other. A sharp increase in torque will be felt when they come into contact. If the nut will not start by hand, or if it is difficult to rotate the union nut by hand, adjust the position of the line-set coupler to improve the alignment between the couplers. There should be no side-load on the coupling during assembly.

DO NOT Proceed to the next step until any misalignment is corrected and the union nut can easily be threaded by hand.

5) Refer to Table 1 for the appropriate wrench sizes and torque values for the coupling being connected.

Once this operation is begun, the coupling seals will be pierced, and the units' refrigerant will be released into the line. During the tightening operation, the o-ring seal will prevent any refrigerant from escaping. However, if for any reason it is decided to disassemble the coupling after beginning this operation, the refrigerant charge will need to be recovered from the unit and the line prior to doing so.

Using both a back-up wrench on the female body of the coupling and primary wrench on the female union nut, tighten the union nut. Ensure that the female coupler body does not rotate with respect to the male coupler during the tightening operation. The nut should be tightened until a definite increase in resistance is felt. This will be the metal to metal contact of the permanent sealing surfaces. At this point, the union nut will have covered all, or mostly all threads on the male coupler body. (Some larger coupler sizes may show approximately 1/2 of the last thread when properly assembled.) Refer to the Figure 2 below for additional detail.

6) Using a marker or scribe, mark out a line lengthwise from the female coupling union nut to the female coupling body, or the bulkhead. After, tighten the union nut an additional 60 degrees. (1 wrench flat.) Reference the markings made to confirm that an additional 60 degrees of rotation has occurred. This final rotation is necessary to ensure the formation of the leak-proof seal.

NOTE: Do not allow the body of the female coupling to rotate while performing this final tightening. Always use the backup wrench to prevent rotation of the coupling body.

7) Leak check the coupling assembly.

8) Repeat steps 1-7 for the remaining quick-connect coupling connections.

Note: if repairs to the refrigerant piping or system become necessary during or after the installation process, then the unit and piping will require evacuation and recovery of the refrigerant charge from the system. Always use safe practices when handling refrigerant or performing brazing processes.

ELECTRICAL WIRING

CAUTION: If repairs are necessary to the refrigerant line-set or indoor setup after the initial installation, then when servicing, cover or seal openings to minimize the exposure of the refrigerant system to air to prevent accumulation of moisture and other contaminants.

REFRIGERANT CHARGING

WARNING: *SA3QD Split System Air Conditioners are shipped charged with R410A refrigerant and ready for installation. If repairs make it necessary for evacuation and charging, it should only be attempted by qualified trained personnel thoroughly familiar with this equipment. Under no circumstances should the owner attempt to install and/or service this equipment. Failure to comply with this warning could result in property damage, personal injury, or death.

After refrigerant line connections are completed, it is required that you leak check and evacuate the indoor section and all line connections (using proper methods) before finalizing the full system refrigerant charge.

• Refer to the Quick Reference Data sheet for additional charging information for this unit with the approved Nortek indoor units. For reference, these units are listed in the AHRI Directory with all approved combinations of indoor coils and units. Installing these outdoor units on systems that combine it with an indoor coil or unit not listed there, is not recommended. When approved combinations of indoor and outdoor units are installed, they should be set up to operate within the airflow and other operational parameters prescribed in all of the units provided instructions and technical specifications.
• Installation of this outdoor unit with other, non-listed indoor unit combinations may require different airflows, expansion devices, charge values and system setup from the instructions provided here and with this unit. Nortek does not recommend the use of this product in unlisted combinations, and the system performance and efficiency values of unlisted unit combinations may be different than the listed product combinations.
• The refrigerant charge can be checked and adjusted through the service ports provided external to the outdoor unit. Use only gage line sets which have a “Schrader” depression device present to actuate the valve.
• An automatic high-pressure switch is factory-installed installed in these units and is located on the discharge line after the unit's compressor. This switch is designed to protect the system when very high pressures occur during abnormal conditions. Under normal conditions, the switch is closed. If the system pressure rises to 650 psig, then the switch will open and de-energize the contactor coil in the outdoor unit. The switch will close again once the liquid pressure decreases to 460 psig and allow the unit to restart.

Charging the Unit

NOTE: Quick connect air conditioners are shipped fully charged with R410A refrigerant and ready for installation and in normal circumstances no refrigerant charging is required. The instructions below are for use if refrigerant charging is necessary during later service calls.

If the outdoor temperature is 65 degrees F or higher:

After completing the refrigerant line connections, leak checking the system, and evacuating the indoor section and all line connections (using proper methods), perform the following steps:

1. Determine the recommended charge addition (if applicable) for the system being installed. This information is in the unit's QRD (Quick Reference Data sheet).
2. Calculate the amount of additional refrigerant needed for the line set length of the actual installation. This information is on the first page of the unit's QRD (Quick Reference Data sheet).
3. Weigh in the additional charge amounts determined by step 1 and 2 above.
4. Adjust the charge to match the superheat (for fixed orifice systems) or subcooling (for TXV systems). There are three different resources for doing this:

a.) The chargecalculator.com website. This will walk you through the charging process step by step.

b.) The charging tables on the inside of the outdoor unit's electrical box cover panel. These tables provide superheat targets for fixed orifice systems and subcooling targets for TXV systems. The system should be charged so that the measured superheat/subcooling are within 1 degree F of the target listed in the table.

For fixed orifice systems:

• If your measured superheat at the suction valve is LESS THAN the recommended superheat value in the table then REMOVE refrigerant.
• If your measured superheat at the suction valve is GREATER THAN the recommended superheat value in the table then ADD refrigerant.

For TXV systems:

• If your measured subcooling at the liquid valve is LESS THAN the recommended subcooling value in the table then ADD refrigerant.
• If your measured subcooling at the liquid valve is GREATER THAN the recommended subcooling value in the table then REMOVE refrigerant.

c.) The charging tables in the Supplemental Charging Information, can be found online in the literature library. The tables can also be accessed by scanning the QR code on the unit's electrical panel. The pressures listed in these tables are for reference only and are to be used in troubleshooting a system. The system should be charged to match the superheat or subcooling targets as previously noted and not to match the system pressures. Follow the same procedure described in 4b above.

If the outdoor temperature is below 65 degrees F:

After completing the refrigerant line connections, leak checking the system, and evacuating the indoor section and all line connections (using proper methods), perform the following steps:

1. Determine the recommended charge addition (if applicable) for the system being installed. This information is in the unit's QRD (Quick Reference Data sheet).
2. Calculate the amount of additional refrigerant needed for the line set length of the actual installation. This information is on the first page of the unit's QRD (Quick Reference Data sheet).
3. Weigh in the additional charge amounts determined by steps 1 and 2 above.
4. Return to the system when the outdoor temperature is 65 degrees F or higher and follow the steps defined in step 4 of the "If the outdoor temperature is 65 degrees F or higher" section above.
