AWARNING

These outdoor condensing units are designed to be connected to a
matching UPG indoor coil. They are equipped with a filter-drier located
in the liquid line.
Units with quick-connect coupling connections
refrigerant to be matched with the appropriate
UPG indoor soil.

Improper installation may create a condition where the operation of
the product could cause personal injury or property damage.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer to this manual
for assistance or for additional information, consult a qualified contractor, instafler or service agency.

are factory charged with
precharged line set, and

The outdoor unit is designed to be placed near the perimeter of the
home, typically alongside or at the back of the home, remote from the
indoor coil. The outdoor unit has been factory run-tested and all components of the system are ready for easy, immediate installation.

and national codes including, but not limited to building, electrical,
and mechanical codes.

INSPECTION
As soon as a unit is received, it should be inspected for possible damage during transit. If damage is evident, the extent of the damage
should be noted on the carrieCs delivery receipt. A separate request for
inspection by the carrier's agent should be made in writing. See Local
Distributor for more information.
LIMITATIONS
The unit should be installed in accordance

with all National, State and

Local Safety Codes and the limitations listed below:
1.

Limitations for the indoor unit, coil, and appropriate
must also be observed.

2.

The outdoor unit must not be installed with any duct work in the air
stream. The outdoor fan is the propeller type and is not designed
to operate against any additional external static pressure.

The maximum and minimum conditions for operation must be
observed to assure a system that will give maximum performance
with minimum service.

UNIT

If the unit is to be installed on a hot sun exposed roof or a black-topped
ground area, the unit should be raised sufficiently above the roof or
ground to avoid taking the accumulated layer of hot air into the outdoor
unit.
Provide an adequate structural support.

Min. DB

SECTION

NOTE: For multiple unit installations, units must be spaced a minimum
of !8 inches apart (coil face to coil face).

INSTALLATION

The following steps should be performed
tem operation and performance.

Change-out the indoor coil, if required, to an approved R-22 coil/
condensing unit combination with the appropriate metering device.

2.

If the outdoor unit is being replaced due to a compressor burnout,
then installation of a 100% activated alumina suction-line filter
drier in the suction-line
is required, in addition to the factory
installed liquid-Iine drier. Operate the system for 10 hours. Monitor
the suction drier pressure drop. If the pressure drop exceeds 3
psig, replace both the suction-Iine and liquid-line driers. After a
total of 10 hours run time where the suction-line pressure drop has
not exceeded 3 psig, replace the liquid line drier, and remove the
suction-line drier. Never leave a suction-Iine drier in the system
longer than 50 hours of run time.

Before starting the installation: select and check the suitability of the
location for both the indoor and outdoor unit. Observe all limitations and
clearance requirements.
The outdoor unit must have sufficient clearance for air entrance to the
coil, air discharge, and service access. See Figure !.

GROUND

INSTALLATION

The unit should be installed on a solid base that is 2" above grade and
will not shift or settle, causing strain on the refrigerant lines and possible
leaks. Maintain the clearances shown in Figure 1 and install the unit in a
level position. The base pad should not come in contact with the foundation or side of the structure because sound may be transmitted
residence.

to the

The length of the refrigerant tubing between the outdoor unit and indoor
coil should be as short as possible to avoid capacity and efficiency
losses. Excessive spacing of the outdoor unit from the home can result
in the refrigerant lines being restricted by trampling or being punctured
by lawn mowers. Locate the outdoor unit away from bedroom windows
or other rooms where sound might be objectionable.

Adverse effects of snow or sleet accumulating on the outdoor coiI can
be eliminated by placing the outdoor unit where the prevailing wind
does not blow across the unit. Trees, shrubs, corners of buildings, and
fences standing off from the coil can reduce capacity Ioss due to wind
chill effect.
Provide ample clearance from shrubs to allow adequate air to pass
across the outdoor coil without leaves or branches being pulled into the
coil.
ROOF

INSTALLATION

When installing units on a roof, the structure must be capable of supporting the total weight of the unit, including a pad, lintels, rails, etc.:
which should be used to minimize the transmission of sound or vibration into the conditioned

CONNECTIONS

The outdoor condensing unit must be connected to the indoor evaporator coil using field supplied refrigerant grade (ACR) copper tubing that is
internally clean and dry. Units should be installed only with the tubing
sizes for approved system combinations as specified in tabular data
sheet. The charge given is applicable for total tubing lengths up to 15
feet. See Application Data Part Number 036-61920-000
for installing
tubing of longer lengths and elevation differences.

NOTE: Using a larger than specified line size could result in oil return
problems. Using too small a line will result in loss of capacity and other
problems caused by insufficient refrigerant flow. SloPe horizontal vauor
lines at least !" every 20 feet toward the outdoor unit to facilitate proper
oil return.
OIL

Center

How to dispose of excess tubing.
a.

Tubing may be longer than required. Coil excess
nearer the indoor coil rather than the outdoor unit.

b.

Excess tubing must be coiled horizontally so the flow of
refrigerant is from top to bottom of the coil and toward the
outdoor unit. Another method is to form a horizontal "U" large
enough to take care d excess. See Figure 4.

TRAPPING

When the outdoor unit is above the indoor coil oil trapping is necessary.
An oil trap should be provided for every 20 ft. of rise. See Figure 2.

Check the size of the precharged refrigerant lines to insure
that they are correct for the model being installed.
Check the final routing of the tubing, and insure tubing will be
of adequate length, with allowance for connection at the coil
and outdoor unit.

a.

The precharged tubing should be handled carefully.

b.

Do not bend or work the tubing any more than necessary.
(The larger size tubing 3/4" for example, will work-harden
rapidly as it is formed. As the tubing becomes harder, it is
more susceptible to kinking and damage).

a.

When the coil is above the outdoor unit, the suction line
should be sloped with a fall of a least 1/4" per feet toward the
outdoor unit.

b.

When the outdoor unit is above the coil, the tubing should be
sloped downward along lateral distance to the bottom, or
from the vertical riser.
