NOTE TO INSTALLER-- Before the installation, READ THESE
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY. Also,
make sure the User's Manual and Replacement Guide are left with
the unit after installation. The furnace is NOT to be used for
temporary beating of buildings or structures under construction.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installation and servicing of air-conditioning equipment can be
hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components. Only
trained and qualified personnel should install repair, or service
air-conditioning equipment.
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring otiligations.
PC 101 Printed ir_U.S.A. Catalog NO. 48GS,GX-TSI Pg 1 2-06 Replaces: New
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions of
cleaning coils and filters. All other operations should be performed
by trained service personnel. When working on air-conditioning
equipment, observe precautions in the literature, tags, and labels
attached to the unit, and other safety precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety gla.gses and work gloves. Use
quenching cloth for unbrazing operations. Have fire extinguisher
available for all brazing operations.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, mainte-
nance, or u_ can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, fire, or
an explosion which can result in personal injury or unit
damage. Consult a qualified installer, service agency, or gas
supplier for information or assistance. The qualified installer
or agency must use only factory-authorized kits or accessories
when modifying this product.
Before performing service or maintenance operations on unit,
turn off gas supply to unit. Then turn off unit main power
switch and install lockout tag. Electrical shock or explosion
could cause serious injury or death.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert symbolzf x .
When you see this symbol in instructions or manuals, be alert to
the potential for personal injury.
Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION,
and NOTE. These words are used with the safety-alert symbol.
DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in
serious injury or death. WARNING signifies a hazard which could
result in serious injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify
unsafe practices which would result in minor personal injury or
product and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight sugges-
tions which will result in enhanced installation, reliability, or
operation.
These instructions cover minimum requirements and conform to
existing national standards and safety codes. In some instances,
these instructions exceed certain local codes and ordinances,
especially those that may not have kept up with changing residen-
tial construction practices. We require these instructions as a
minimum for a safe installation.
INTRODUCTION
The 48GS and 48GX units (See Fig. 1) are fully self-contained,
combination Category I gas heating/electric cooling units designec[
for outdoor installation (See Fig. 2 and 3 for unit dimensions). All
unit sizes have return and discharge openings for both horizontal
and downffuw configurations, and are factory shipped with all
downflow duct openings covered. Units may be installed either on
a rooftop, a cement slab, or directly on the ground if local codes
permit (See Fig. 4 for roof curb dimensions).
Models with an N in the fifth position of the model number are
dedicated Low NO x units designed for California installation.
These models meet the California maximum oxides of nitrogen
(NO,) emissions requirements of 40 nanograms/joule or less as
shipped from the factory and must be installed in California Air
Quality Management Districts where a Low NO_ rule exists.
RECEIVING AND INSTALLATION
Step I_HECK EQUIPMENT
IDENTIFY UN1T
The unit model number and serial number are stamped on unit
identification plate. Check this information against shipping papers
and job data. Verify unit voltage and amperage requirements listed
on unit rating plate agree with power supply provided to unit.
INSPECT SIUPMENT
Inspect for shipping damage while unit is still on shipping pallet.
If unit appears to be damaged or is torn loose from its anchorage,
have it examined by transportation inspectors before removal.
Forward claim papers directly to transportation company. Manu-
facturer is not responsible for any damage incurred in transit.
Check all items against shipping list. Immediately notify the
nearest distributor if any item is missing.
To prevent loss or damage, leave all parts in original packages
until installation.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove unit from shipping carton. Leave top shipping skid on
the unit as a spreader bar to prevent the rigging straps from
damaging the unit. If the wood skid is not available, use a
spreader bar of sufficient length to protect unit from damage.
2. Position the lifting bracket assembly around the base of the
unit. Be sure the strap does not twist.
3. Place each of the 4 metal lifting brackets into the rigging holds
in the composite pan.
4. Thread lifting bracket strapping around bottom perimeter of
unit as follows:
a. Open lever of tension buckle (ratchet type).
b. Feed strapping through tension buckle as shown in Fig. 7.
c. Pull strapping through tension buckle unit taut.
d. Snap lever down to lock strap in tension buckle. To relea._e
strapping, squeeze safety latch, lift lever, and pull webbing
outward.
5. Tighten the tension buckle until it is taut. Lifting brackets
must be secure in the rigging holds.
6. Attach field-supplied clevis or hook of sufficient strength to
hole in the lifting bracket (See Fig. 7).
7. Attach the 2 safety straps directly to the clevis or hook at the
4 rigging brackets. DO NOT attach the safety straps to the
lifting brackets (See Fig. 7).
8. Position lifting point directly over the unit's center of gravity.
9. Lift unit. When unit is directly over the roof curb, remove the
2 safety straps. Lower the equipment onto the roof curb.
Step 2--PROVIDE UNIT SUPPORT
ROOF CURB
Install accessory roof curb in accordance with instructions shipped
with curb (See Fig. 4 for roof curb dimensions). Install insulation,
cant strips, roofing, and flashing. Ductwork must be attached to
curb.
IMPORTANT: The ga,sketing of the unit to the roof curb is critical
for a watertight seal. Install ga.sheting material supplied with the
roof curb. Improperly applied gasketing can also result in air leaks
and poor unit performance.
Curb should be level to within I/4 in. This is necessary for unit
drain to function properly. Refer to accessory roof curb installation
instructions for additional information as required.
SLAB MOUNT
Place the unit on a solid, level concrete pad that is aminimum of
4 in. thick with 2 in. above grade. The slab should be flush on the
compressor end of the unit (to allow condensate drain installation)
and .should extend 2 in. on the three remaining sides of the unit
(See Fig. 6). Do not secure the unit to the slab except when
required by local codes.

air must be provided in accordance with section 5.3, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation, of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
(American National Standards Institute) Z223.1 or applicable
provisions of local building code. In Canada, follow sections 7.2,
7.3, or 7.4 or Can/CGA. (Canadian Gas Association) B149
Installation Codes or applicable provisions of local building code.
compressor life.
The condenser fan pulls air through the condenser coil and
discharges it through the top cover. Be sure that the fan discharge
does not recirculate to the condenser coll. Do not locate the unit in
either a corner or under an overhead obstruction. The minimum
clearance under a partial overhang (such as a normal house
overhang) is 48-in. above the unit top. The maximum horizontal
extension of a partial overhang must not exceed 48-in..
Do not place the unit where water, ice, or snow from an overhang
or roof will damage or flood the unit. Do not install die unit on
carpeting, tile, or other combustible materialS. The unit may be
installed on wood flooring or on Class A, B, or C roof covering
materials.
Step 5--RIG AND PLACE UNIT
support the additional weight.
Use spreader bars or crate top when rigging the unit. The units
must be rigged for lifting (See Fig. 6). Refer to Table 1 and 2 for
operating weight. Use extreme caution to prevent damage when
moving the unit. Unit must remain in an upright position during all
rigging and moving operatiottv.The unit must be level within 1/4"'
for proper condensate drainage; therefore, the ground-level pad or
accessory roof curb must be level before setting die unit in place.
When a field-fabricated support is used, be sure that the support is
level and properly supports die unit. Lifting point should be
directly over the center of gravity for the unit.
Step 6--CONNECT CONDENSATE DRAIN
NOTE: When installing condensate drain connection be sure to
comply with local codes and restrictions.
Models 48GS and 48GX dispose of condensate water through a
3/4 in. NPT fitting which exits through the compressor access
panel (See Fig. 2 and 3 for location).
Condensate water can be drained directly onto the roof in rooftop
installations (where permitted) or onto a gravel apron in ground-
level installations. Install a field-supplied condensate trap at end of
condensate connection to ensure proper drainage. Make sure that

fRequired filter sizes shown are based on the larger of the ARI (Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute) rated cooling airflow orthe heating airflow velocityof 300
if]minute for high-capacity type. Air riser pressure drop for non-standard filters must not exceed 0.08 in. wg.
Install a gas supply line that runs to the heating section. Refer to
Table 3 and the NFGC for gas pipe sizing. Do not use cast-iron
pipe. It is recommended that a black iron pipe is used. Check the
local utility for recommendations concerning existing tines. Size
gas supply piping for 0.5 in. wg maximum pressure drop. Never
use pipe smaller than the 1/2-in. FPT gas ial_'t on the unit gas
valve.
For natural gas applications, the gas pressure at unit gas connection
must not be less than 4.0 in. wg or greater than 13 in. wg while the
unit is operating. For propane applications, the gas pressure must
not be less than 7.0 in. wg or greater than 13 in. wg at the unit
connection.
An l/8-in. NPT plugged tapping, accessible for test gage connec-
tion, must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the gas valve.
When installing the gas supply fine, observe local codes pertaining
to gas pipe installations. Refer to the NFGC ANSI Z223.1-1988
NFPA latest edition (in Canada, CAN/CGA B149.1, (2)-M86). In
the absence of local building codes, adhere to the following
pertinent recommendations:
1. Avoid low spots in long runs of pipe. Grade all pipe 1/4 in. in
every 15 ft to prevent traps. Grade all horizontal runs
downward to risers. Use risers to connect to heating section
and to meter.
2. Protect all segments of piping system against physical and
thermal damage. Support all piping with appropriate straps,
bangers, etc. Use a minimum of one hanger every 6 ft. For
pipe sizes larger than l/2 in., follow recommendations of
national codes.
3. Apply joint compound (pipe dope) sparingly and only to male
threads of jc;mt when making pipe connections. Use only pipe
dope that is resistant to action of liquefied petroleum gases as
4.
specified by local and/or national codes. Never use Teflon
tape.
Install sediment trap in riser leading to heating _ction (See
Fig. 9). This drip leg functions a.s a trap for dirt and
condensate.
5. Install an accessible, external, manual main shutoff valve in
gas supply pipe within 6 ft of heating section.
6. Install ground-joint union close to heating section between
unit manual shutoff and external manual main shut-off valve.
7. Pressure-test all gas piping in accordance with local and
national plumbing and gas codes before connecting piping to
unit.
NOTE: Pressure test the gas supply system after the gas supply
piping is connected to the gas valve. The supply piping must be
disconnected from the gas valve during the testing of the piping
systero_s when test pressure is in excess of 0.5 palg. Pressure test
the gas supply piping system at pressures equal to or less than 0.5
psig. The unit heating section must be isolated from the gas piping
system by closing the external main manual shutoff valve and
slightly opening the ground-joint union.
Wl E_
Unstable operation may occur when the gas valve and
manifold assembly are forced out of position while connect-
ing improperly-routed rigid ga_s piping to the gas valve. Use
a backup wrench when making connection to avoid strain on,
or distortion of, the ga._ control piping.

Step 10--INSTALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
r._l LI"/_-'1,'I I",[_
The unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted, unbroken
electrical ground to minimize the possibility of serious injury
if an electrical fault should occur. This ground may consist of
an electrical rare connected to the unit ground lug in the
control compartment, or conduit approved for electrical
ground when installed in accordance with NEC (National
Electrical Code) ANSI/NFPA (latest edition) and local elec-
trical codes. In Canada, follow Canadian Electrical Code
CSA (Canadian Standards Association) C22.1 and local
electrical codes. Failure to adhere to this warning could re.cull
in serious injury or death.
Failure to follow these precautions could result in damage to
the unit being installed:
1. Make all electrical connections in accordance with NEC
ANSI/NFPA (latest edition) and local electrical codes
governing such wiring. In Canada, all electrical connec-
tions must be in accordance with CSA standard C22.1
Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and applicable local
codes. Refer to unit wiring diagram.
2. Use only copper conductor for connections between
field-supplied electrical disconnect switch and unit. DO
NOT USE ALUMINUM WIRE.
3. Be sure that high-voltage power to unit is within operating
voltage range indicated on unit rating plate.
4. Do not damage internal components when drilling through
any panel to mount electrical hardware, conduit, etc. On
3-phase units, ensure phases are balanced within 2 percent.
Consult local power company for correction of improper
voltage and/or phase imbalance.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR 208-V OPERATION
Before making any wiring changes, make sure the gas supply
is switched off first. Then switch off the power supply to the
unit and install lockout tag. Electrical shock can cause serious
Injury or death.
CONTROL VOLTAGE CONNECTIONS
Do not use any type of power-stealing thermostat. Unit control
problems may result.
Use no. 18 American Wire Gage (AWG) color-coded, insulated
(35 C minimum) wires to make the control voltage connections
between the thermostat and the unit. If the thermostat is located
more than 100 ft from the unit (as measured along the control
voltage wires), use no. 16 AWG color-coded, insulated (35 C
minimum) wires.
Standard Connection
Remove knockout hole located in the flue panel adjacent to the
control access panel (See Fig. 2 and 3). Remove the rubber
grommet from the installer's packet (included with unit) and install
grommet in the knockout opening. Provide a drip loop before
running wire through panel.
Run the low-voltage leads from the thermostat, through the inlet
hole, and into unit low-voltage splice box.
Locate five 18-gage wires leaving control box. These low-voltage
connection leads can be identified by the colors red, green, yellow,
brown, and white (See Fig. 11). Ensure the leads are long enough
to be routed into the low-voltage splice box (located below fight
side of control box). Route leads through hole in bottom of control
box and make low-voltage connections (See Fig. 11). Secure all
cut wires, so that they do not interfere with operation of unit.
HEAT ANTICIPATOR SETTING
The room thermostat heat anticipator must be properly adjusted to
ensure proper heating performance. Set the heat anticipator, using
an ammeter between the W and R terminals to determine the exact
required _tdng.
NOTE: For thermostat selection purposes, use 0.18 amp for the
approximate required setting. Failure to make a proper heat
anticipator adjustment will result in improper operation, discom-
fort to the occupants of the conditioned space, and inefficient
energy utilization; however, the required setting may be changed
slightly to provide a greater degree of comfort for a particular
installation.

TRANSFORMER PROTECTION
The transformer is of the energy-limiting type. It is set to
withstand a 30°sec. overload or shorted secondary condition.
PPdE-START-UP
Failure to observe the following warnings could result in
serious injury:
1. Follow recognized safety practices and wear protective
goggles when checking or servicing refrigerant system.
2. Do not operate compressor or provide any electric power to
unit unless compressor terminal cover is in place and
secured.
3. Do not remove compressor terminal cover until all electri-
cal sources are disconnected.
4. Relieve and recover all refrigerant from system before
touching or disturbing anything inside terminal box ff
refrigerant leak is suspected around compressor terminals.
5. Never attempt to repair soldered connection while refrig-
erant system is under pressure.
6. Do not use torch to remove any componenL System
contains oil and refrigerant under pressure. To remove a
component, wear protective goggles and proceed as fol-
lows:
a. Shut off gas supply and then electrical power to unit.
b. Relieve and recover all refrigerant from system using
both high- and low-pressure ports.
c. Cut component connecting tubing with tubing cutter and
remove component from unit.
d. Carefully unsweat remaining tubing stubs when neces-
sary. Oil can ignite when exposed to torch flame.
Proceed as follows to inspect and prepare the unit for initial
startup:
1. Remove access panel.
2. Read and follow instructions on all WARNING, CAUTION,
and INFORMATION labels attached to, or shipped with, unit.
3. Make the following inspections:
a. Inspect for shipping and handling damages such as broken
lines, loose parle, disconnected wires, etc.
b. Inspect for oil at all refrigerant tubing connections and on
unit base. Detecting oil generally indicates a refrigerant
leak.
c. Leak test all refrigerant tubing connections using electronic
leak detector, halide torch, or liquid-soap solution. If a
refrigerant leak is detected, see the Check for Refrigerant
Leaks section.
d. Inspect all field- and factery-wirlng connections. Be sure
that connections are completed and tight.
e. Ensure wires do not contact refrigerant tubing or sharp
sheet metal edges.
f. Inspect coil f'ms. If damaged during shipping and handling,
carefully straighten fins with a i'm comb.
4. Verify the following conditions:
a. Make sure gas line is free of air. Before lighting the unit for
the first time, perform the following with the gas valve in
the "OFF" position:
If the gas supply pipe was not purged before connecting
the unit, it will be full of air. It is recommended that the
ground joint union be loosened, and the supply line be
allowed to purge until the odor of gas is detected. Never
purge gas lines into a combustion chamber. Immediately
upon detection of gas odor, retighten the union. Allow 5
minutes to elapse, then light unit.
b. Make sure that condenser-fan blade is correctly positioned
in fan orifice. Leading edge of condenser-fan blade should
be 1/2 in. maximum from fan orifice ventari.
c. Ensure fan hub is 1/8 in. maximum from motor housing
(See Fig. 12).

NOTE: Install a f-alterdrier whenever the system has been opened
for repair.
3. Add a small charge of R-22 refrigerant vapor to system and
leak-test unit.
4. Recover refrigerant from refrigerant system and evacuate to
500 microns if additional leaks are not found.
5. Charge unit with R-22 refrigerant, using a volumetric-
charging cylinder or accurate scale. Refer to unit rating plate
for required charge. Be sure to add extra refrigerant to
compensate for internal volume of falter drier.
Step 2--START-UP HEATING AND MAKE ADJUST-
MENTS
Do not jumper any safety devices when operating the unit.
Make sure that burner OFLfices are properly aligned. Unstable
operation may occur when the burner orifices in the manifold are
misaligned.
Follow the fighting instructions on the heating section operation
label (located inside the burner or blower access door) to start the
heating section.
NOTE: Make sum that gas supply has been purged, and that all
gas piping has been checked for leaks.
CHECK HEATING CONTROL
Start and check the unit for proper heating control operation as
follows (see furnace fighting instructions located inside burner or
blower access panel):
1. Place room thermostat SYSTEM switch in the HEAT position
and the fan switch is placed in ALrrO. position.
2. Set the heating temperature control of the thermostat above
room temperature.
3. The induced-draft motor will start.
4. After a call for heating, the main burner should light within 5
see. If the burners do not fight, there is a 22-see. delay before
another 5-sec. try. If the burners still do not light, this
sequence is repeated. If the burners do not light within 15
minutes from the initial call for heat, there is a lockout. To
reset the control, break the 24-v power to W.
5. The evaporator fan will turn on 45 sec. after the flame has
been established. The evaporator fan will turn off 45 sec. after
the thermostat has been satisfied.
CHECK GAS INPUT
Check gas input and manifold pressure after unit start-up (See
Table 6). If adjustment is required proceed as follows:
•The rated gas inputs shown in Table 6 are for altitudes from sea
level to 2000 fit above sea level. These inputs are based on
natural gas with a heating value of 1050 Btu/ft 3 at 0.65 specific
gravity, or propane gas with a heating value of 2500 Btu/ft 3 at
1.5 specific gravity.
• For elevations above 2000 ft, reduce input 4 percent for each
1000 ft above sea level
• When the ga.s supply being used has a different heating value or
specific gravity, refer to national and local codes, or contact
your distributor to determine the required orifice size.
16
ADJUST GAS INPUT
The gas input to the unit is determined by measuring the gas flow
at the meter or by measuring the manifold pressure. Measuring the
gas flow at the meter is recommended for natural gas units. The
manifold pressure must be measured to determine the input of
propane ga_s units.
Measure Gas Flow (Natural Gas Units)
Minor adjustment to the gas flow can be made by changing the
manifold pressure. The manifold pressure must be maintained
between 3.4 and 3.6 in. wg.
If larger adjustments are required,
change main burner orifices following
the recommendations of national
and local codes.
NOTE: All other appliances that use the same meter must be
turned off when gas flow is measured at the meter.
Proceed as follows:
1. Turn off gas supply to unit.
2. Remove pipe plug on manifold (See Fig. 13) and connect
manometer. Turn on gas supply to unit.
3. Record number of seconds for gas meter test dial to make one
revolution.
4. Divide number of seconds in Step 3 into 3600 (number of
seconds in one hour).
5. Multiply result of Step 4 by the number of cu fitshown for one
revolution of test dial to obtain cuft of gas flow per hour.
6. Multiply result of Step 5 by Btu heating value of gas to obtain
total measured input in Btuh. Compare this value with heating
input shown in Table 6 (Consult the local gas supplier if the
heating value of gas is not known).
EXAMPLE: Assume that the size of test dial ks I cuft. one
revolution takes 32 sec., and the heating value of the gas is 1050
Btu/ft 3. Proceed as follows:
1. 32 sec. to complete one revolution.
2. 3600+ 32= 112.5.
3. 112.5 x 1 =112.5 ft3 of gas flow/hr.
4. 112.5 x 1050 = 118,125 Btuh input.
If the desired gas input is 115,000 Btuh, only a minor change in the
manifold pressure is required.
Observe manifold pressure and proceed as follows to adjust gas
input:

check for leaks.
Measure Manifold Pressure (Propane Units)
The main burner orifices on a propane gas unit are sized for the
unit rated input when the manifold pressure reading matches the
level specified in Table 6.
Proceed as follows to adjust gas input on a propane gas unit:
1. Turn off gas to unit.
2. Remove pipe plug on manifold and connect manometer (See
Fig. 13).
3. Turn on gas to unit.
4. Remove cover screw over regulator adjustment screw on gas
Valve.
5. Adjust regulator adjustment screw to the correct manifold
pressure, as specified in Table 6. Turn adjusting screw
clockwise to increase manifold pressure, or turn adjusting
screw counterclockwise to decrease manifold pressure.
6. Replace cover screw.
7. Turn off gas to unit. Remove manometer from pressure tap.
Replace pipe plug on gas valve, then turn on gas to unit. Check
for leaks.
CHECK BURNER FLAME
With burner access panel removed, observe the unit heating
operation. Watch the burner flames to see if they are light blue and
soR in appearance, and that the flames are approximately the same
for each burner. Propane will have blue flame with yellow tips
(See Fig. 14). Refer to the Maintenance section for information on
burner removal.

AIRFLOW AND TEMPERATURE RISE
The heating section for each size unit is designed and approved for
hearing operation within the temperature-rise range stamped on the
unit rating plate.
Table 7 shows the approved temperature rise range for each
heating input, and the air delivery cfm at various temperature rises.
The heating operation airflow must produce a temperature rise that
fails within the approved range.
Refer to Indoor Airflow and Airflow Adjustrnents section to adjust
heating airflow when required.
HEATING SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
(See Fig. 15-16 and unit wiring label).
On a call for hearing, terminal "W" of the thermostat is energized,
starting the induced-draft motor. When die hall-effect sensor on
the induced-draft motor senses that it has reached the required
speed, the burner sequence begins. This function is performed by
the integrated gas control (IGC). The evaporator-fan motor is
energized 45 sec. afar flame is established. When the thermostat
is satisfied and "W" is deenergized, the burners stop f-wing and the
evaporator-fan motor shuts off after a 45-sec. time-off delay.
An LED (light-emitting diode) indicator is provided on the control
board to monitor operation. The control board is located by
removing the burner access panel. During normal operation, the
LED is continuously on (See Table 8 for error codes).
LIMIT SWITCHES
Normally closed limit switch (LS) completes the control circuit
through the thermostat R circuit. Should the leaving-air tempera-
ture rise above the maximum allowable temperature, the limit
switch opens and the R control circuit "breaks." Any interruption
in the R control circuit instantly closes the gas valve and stops gas
flow to the burners and pilot. The blower motor continues to run
until LS resets.
When die air temperature at the limit switch drops to the
low-temperature setting of the limit switch, the switch closes and
completes the R control circuit. The electric-spark ignition system
cycles and the unit returns to normal beating operation.
AUXILIARY LIMIT SWITCH (ROLLOUT)
The function of the switch is to close the main gas valve in the
event of flame rollout. The switch is loca_d above die main
burners. When the temperature at the auxiliary switch reaches the
maximum allowable temperature, the R control circuit trips,
closing the gas valve and stopping gas flow to the burners. The
indoor (evaporator) fan motor (IFM) and induced draft motor
continue to man until switch is reset. The IGC LED will display
FAULT CODE 7.

CHECKING COOLING CONTROL OPERATION
Start and check the unit for proper cooling control operation as
follows:
I. Place room thermostat SYSTEM switch in OFF position.
Observe that blower motor starts when FAN switch is placed
in ON position and shuts down when FAN switch is placed in
AUTO. position.
2. Place SYSTEM switch in COOL position and FAN switch in
AUTO. position. Set cooling control below room temperature.
Observe that compressor, condenser fan, and evaporator
blower motors start. Observe that cooling cycle shuts down
when control setting is satisfied. The evaporator fan will
continue to run for 30 see.
3. When using an auto-changeover room thermostat, place both
SYSTEM and FAN switches in AUTO. positions. Observe
that unit operates in Heating mode when temperature control
is set to "call for heating" (above room temperature) and
operates in Cooling mode when temperature control is set to
"call for cooling" (below room temperature).
IMPORTANT: Three-phase, scroll compressor units
(48GS048 and 48GX030-060) are direction-oriented.
These units must be checked to ensure proper compressor
3-phase power lead orientation. If not corrected within 5
minutes, the internal protector shuts off the compressor.
The 3-phase power leads to the unit must be reversed to
correct rotation. When turning backwards, _roll compres-
sors emit elevated noise levels, and the difference between
compressor suction and discharge pressures may be dra-
matically lower than normal.
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING REFRIGERANT CHARGE
The refrigerant system is fully charged with R-22 refrigerant,
tested, and factory-sealed.
NOTE: Adjustment of the refrigerant charge is not required
unless the unit is suspected of not having the proper R-22 charge.
A superheat charging chart is attached to the outside of the service
access panel. The chart includes the required suction line tempera-
ture at given suction line pressures and outdoor ambient tempera-
tures.
An accurate superheat, thermocouple- or thermistor-type ther-
mometer, a sling psychrometer, and a gauge manifold are required
when using the superheat charging method for evaluating the unit
charge. Do not use mercury or small dial-type thermometers
beca_ve they are not adequate for this _pe of measurernent.
20
When evaluating the refrigerant charge, an indicated adjust-
ment to the specified factory charge must always be very
minimal. If a substantial adjustment is indicated, an abnormal
condition exists somewhere in the cooling system, such as
insufficient airflow across either coil or both coiLs.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove caps from low- and high-pressure service fittings.
2. Using hoses with valve core depressors, attach low- and
high-pressure gauge hoses to low- and high-pressure service
fittings, respectively.
3. Start unit in Cooling mode and let unit ran until system
pressures stabilize.
4. Measure and record the following:
a. Outdoor ambient-air temperature (°F db).
b. Evaporator iniet-air temperature (°F wb).
c. Suction-tube temperature (°F) at low-side service fitting.
d. Suction (low-side) pressure (psig).
5. Using "Conling Charging Charts," compare outdoor-air tem-
perature (°F db) with the suction line pressure (psig) to
determinedesiredsystemoperatingsuctionlinetemperature
(SeeFig.17-26).
6.Compareactualsuction-tubetemperaturewithdesired
suction-tubetemperature.Usingatoleranceof -+3°F,add
refrigerantif actualtemperatureismorethan 3°F higher than
proper suction-tube temperature, or remove refrigerant if
actual temperature is more than 3°F lower than required
suction-tabe temperature.
NOTE: If the problem causing the inaccurate readings is a
refrigerant leak, refer to the Check for Refrigerant Leaks section.

chassis parts. To select high speed on 460-v GE motors, separate
the black (female quick connect - QC - from the jumper lead
(male quick connect - QC) and connect the black lead to the BR.
lr_*ulate the jumper to avoid contact with any chassis parts.
Table 7 shows the temperature rise at various airflow rates. Tables
11 and 13 show both heating and cooling airflows at various
external static pressures. Refer to these tables to determine the
airflow for the system being installed (See Tables 14 and 15 for
wet coil pressure drop).
NOTE: Be sure that all supply- and return-air grilles are open,
free from obstructions, and adjusted properly.
Before changing blower speed, shut off gas supply. Then
disconnect electrical power to the unit and install lockout tag.
Electrical shock or explosion can cause serious injury or
death.
Airflow can be changed by changing the lead connections of the
blower motor.
Unit 48GS two- or three-speed motors (except size 030) are
factory wired for low speed operation. Unit 48GS030 is factory
wired for medium speed.
All 48GX units are factory wired for low speed and may need to
be wired for medium or high speed in the field.
For 208/230V
For color coding on the 208/230V motor leads, see Table 9.

To change the speed of the blower motor (BM), remove the fan
motor speed leg lead from the blower relay (BR). This wire is
attached to terminal BM of the integrated gas control (IGC) beard
for 3-phase units. To change the speed, remove and replace with
lead for desired blower motor speed. Insulate the removed lead to
avoid contact with chassis parts.
For 460-V GE Motors
For color coding on the 460-v GE motor leads, see Table 10.
To change the speed of the blower motor (BM), remove fan motor
speed lead from the blower relay (BR) and replace with the lead
for the desired blower motor speed. The motor speed lead is
attached to terminal BM of the integrated gas control (IGC) board.
For low and medium speeds, black must be connected to the
jumper wire. Insulate removed lead end to avoid contact with
COOLING SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
With the room thermostat SYSTEM switch in the COOL position
and the FAN switch in the AUTO position, the cooling sequence
of operation is as follows:
l. When the room temperature rkses to a point that is slightly
above the cooling control setting of the thermostat, the
thermostat completes the circuit between thermostat terminal
R to terminals Y and G. These completed circuits through the
thermostat:
2. The normally open contacts of energized contactor (C) close
and complete the circuit through compressor motor (COMP)
to condenser (outdoor) fan motor (OFM). Both motors start
instantly.
3. The set of normally open contacts of energized relay BM close
and complete the circuit through evaporator blower (indoor)
fan motor (IFM).
NOTE: Once the compressor has started and then stopped, it
should not be started again until 5 minutes have elapsed. The
cooling cycle remains "on" until the room temperature drops to a
point that is sfightly below the cooling control setting of the room
thermostat. At this point, the thermostat "breaks" the circuit
between thermostat terminal R to terminals Y and G. These open
circuits deenergize contactor coil C. The condenser and compres-
sor motors stop. After a 30-sec. delay, the blower motor stops. The
uhit is in a "standby" condition, waiting for the next "call for
cooling" from the room thermostat.

CONDENSER COIL, EVAPORATOR COIL, AND
CONDENSATE DRAIN PAN
Inspect the condenser coil, evaporator coil, and condensate drain
pan at least once each year or more often if necessary.
The coils are easily cleaned when dry; therefore, inspect and clean
the coils either before or after each cooling season. Remove all
obstructions, including weeds and shrubs, that interfere with die
airflow through the condenser coil.
Straighten bent fins with a fin comb. If coated with dirt or lint,
clean the coils with a vacuum cleaner, using die so_ brush
attachment. Be careful not to bend die fins. If coated with oil or
grease, clean the coils with a mild detergent-and-water solution.
Rinse coils with clear water, using a garden bose. Re careful not to
splash water on motors, insulation, wiring, or air l-alter(s). For best
results, spray condenser coil fins from inside to outside die unit.
On units with an outer and inner condenser coil, be sure to clean
between the coils. Be sure to flush ail dirt and debris from the unit
base.

Remove access panel to locate all the electrical controls and
wiring. Check all electrical connections for tightness. Tighten all
screw connections. If any smoky or burned connections are
noticed, disassemble the connection, clean all the parts, restrip the
wire end and reassemble the connection properly and securely.
After inspecting the electrical controls and wiring, replace the
access panel. Start the unit, and observe at least one complete
heating cycle and one complete cooling cycle to ensure proper
operation. If discrepancies are observed in either or both operating
cycles, or if a suspected malfunction has occurred, check each
electrical component with the proper electrical instrumentation.
Refer to the unit wiring label when making these checkouts.
If oil is detected or if low cooling performance is suspected,
leak-test all refrigerant tubing using an electronic leak-detector,
halide torch, or liquid-soap solution. If a refrigerant leak is
detected, refer to the Check for Refrigerant Leaks section.
If no refrigerant leaks are found and low cooling performance is
suspected, refer to the Checking and Adjusting Refrigerant Charge
section.
GAS INPUT
The gas input does not require checking unless improper heating
performance is suspected. If a problem exists, refer to the Start-Up
section.
EVAPORATOR AIRFLOW
The heating and/or cooling airflow does not require checking
unless improper performance is suspected- lfa problem exists, be
sure that all supply- and return-air grilles are open and free from
obstructiomr, and that the air filter is clearL When necessary, refer
to the Indoor Airflow andAirflow Adjustments section to check the
