5. Connect the manifold gauge set high pressure hose to
the vapor valve service port. (Normally, the high pressure hose is connected to the liquid line port; however,
connecting it to the vapor port better protects the manifold gauge set from high pressure damage,)
6. Adjust the nitrogen pressure to 150 psig (1034 kPa).
Open the valve on the high side of the manifold gauge
set which will pressurize line set and indoor unit.
7. After a few minutes, open a refrigerant port to ensure
the refrigerant you added is adequate to be detected.
(Amounts of refrigerant will vary with line lengths.)
Check all joints for leaks. Purge nitrogen and
HCFC-22 mixture. Correct any leaks and recheck.

After the line set has been connected to the indoor and outdoor units, check the line set connections and indoor unit
for leaks,

WARNING

Evacuating the system of noncondensables is critical for
proper operation of the unit. Noncondensables are defined
as any gas that will not condense under temperatures and
pressures present during operation of an air conditioning
system. Noncondensables and water vapor combine with
refrigerant to produce substances that corrode copper piping and compressor parts.

1, Connect a cylinder of HCFC-22 to the center port of
the manifold gauge set.
2, With both manifold valves closed, open the valve on
the HCFC-22 cylinder (vapor only).
3, Open the high pressure side of the manifold to allow
the HCFC-22 into the line set and indoor unit. Weigh
in a trace amount of HCFC-22, [A trace amount is a
maximum of 2 ounces (57 g) or 3 pounds (31 kPa)

1. Connect manifold gauge set to the service valve ports
as follows:
• low pressure gauge to vapor line service valve
• high pressure gauge to liquid line service valve
2. Connect micron gauge,
3. Connect the vacuum pump (with vacuum gauge) to
the center port of the manifold gauge set,
4. Open both manifold valves and start the vacuum
pump.
5. Evacuate the line set and indoor unit to an absolute
pressure of 23,000 microns (29.01 inches of mercury). During the early stages of evacuation, it is desirable to close the manifold gauge valve at least once to
determine if there is a rapid rise in absolute pressure.
A rapid rise in pressure indicates a relatively large
leak, If this occurs, repeat the leak testing procedure.
NOTE - The term absolute pressure is defined as the
total actual pressure within a given volume or system,
above the absolute zero of pressure, Absolute pressure in a vacuum is equal to atmospheric pressure minus vacuum pressure,
6. When the absolute pressure reaches 23,000 microns
(29.01 inches of mercury), close the manifold gauge
valves, turn off the vacuum pump and disconnect the
manifold gauge center port hose from vacuum pump.
Attach the manifold center port hose to a nitrogen cylinder with pressure regulator set to 150 psig (1034
kPa) and purge the hose. Open the manifold gauge
valves to break the vacuum in the line set and indoor
unit, Close the manifold gauge valves.

,A CAUTION
A IMPORTANT

7. Shut off the nitrogen cylinder and remove the manifold
gauge hose from the cylinder. Open the manifold
gauge valves to release the nitrogen from the line set
and indoor unit.
8. Reconnect the manifold gauge to the vacuum pump,
turn the pump on, and continue to evacuate the line set
and indoor unit until the absolute pressure does not
rise above 500 microns (29.9 inches of mercury) within
a 20-minute period after shutting off the vacuum pump
and closing the manifold gauge valves.
9. When the absolute pressure requirement above has
been met, disconnect the manifold hose from the vacuum pump and connect it to an upright cylinder of
HCFC-22 refrigerant. Open the manifold gauge valves
to break the vacuum from 1 to 2 psig positive pressure
in the line set and indoor unit. Close manifold gauge
valves and shut off the HCFC-22 cylinder and remove
the manifold gauge set.

1. Rotate the fan to check for frozen bearings or binding.
2. Inspect all factory- and field-installed wiring for loose
connections.
3. After evacuation is complete, open the liquid line and
vapor line service valves to release refrigerant charge
(contained in outdoor unit) into the system.
4. Replace the stem caps and secure finger tight, then
tighten an additional one-sixth (1/6) of a turn.
5. Check voltage supply at the disconnect switch. The
voltage must be within the range listed on the unit's
nameplate. If not, do not start the equipment until you
have consulted the power company and the voltage
condition has been corrected.
6. Set the thermostat for a cooling demand. Turn on power to the indoor blower and close the outdoor unit disconnect switch to start the unit.
7. Recheck voltage while the unit is running. Power must
be within range shown on the nameplate.

2. Conduct a leak check, then evacuate as previously
outlined.
Units are factory charged with the amount of HCFC-22 refrigerant indicated on the unit nameplate. This charge is
based on a matching indoor coil and outdoor coil with a 15

3. Weigh in the charge according to the total amount
shown on the unit nameplate,

If you charge a fixed orifice system when the outdoor ambient is 65 _F (18 _C) or above, use the subcooling method to
charge the unit.
1. With the manifold gauge hose still on the liquid service
port and the unit operating stably, use a digital
thermometer to record the liquid line temperature.
2. At the same time, record the liquid line pressure reading.

NOTE - *If line length is greater than !5 ft. (4.6 m), add this amount. If
line length is less than 15 ft. (4.6 m), subtract this amount.

The outdoor unit should be charged during warm weather.
However, applications arise in which charging must occur
in the colder months. The method of charging is determined by the unit's refrigerant metering device and the
outdoor ambient temperature.
Measure the liquid line temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature as outlined below:
1. Connect the manifold gauge set to the service valves:
• low pressure gauge to vapor valve service port
• high pressure gauge to liquid valve service port
2. Connect the center manifold hose to an upright cylinder of HCFC-22. Close manifold gauge set valves.
3. Set the room thermostat to call for heat. This will
create the necessary load for properly charging the
system in the cooling cycle.
4. Use a digital thermometer to record the outdoor ambient temperature.
5. When the heating demand has been satisfied, switch
the thermostat to cooling mode with a set point of 68 _F
(20_%). When pressures have stabilized, use a digital
thermometer to record the liquid line temperature.
6. The outdoor temperature will determine which charging method to use. Proceed with the appropriate
charging procedure.

Temp. <65°F (18°C)

If the system is void of refrigerant, or if the outdoor ambient
temperature is cool, use the weigh-in method to charge the
unit. Do this after any leaks have been repaired.
1. Recover the refrigerant from the unit.

3. Use a temperature/pressure
chart for R-22 to
determine the saturation temperature for the liquid line

4. Subtract the liquid line temperature from the saturation
temperature (according to the chart) to determine
subcooling.

4, Check the liquid line temperature. The difference between the ambient and liquid temperatures should
match values given in table 6, Loss of charge results
in low capacity and efficiency.

5, If the values do not agree with the those in table 6, add
refrigerant to lower the approach temperature, or recover refrigerant from the system to increase the approach temperature,

*

NOTE - For best results, use the same digital thermometer to check both outdoor ambient and fiquid
temperatures.

Values shown are typical pressures (in. psig +2psig); indoor unit
match up, indoor air quality equipment, and indoor load will cause
the pressures to vary.

** Temperature of the air entering the outside coil.

If debris has collected between the mesh screen and
the coil and cannot be dislodged by spraying unpressurized water from the inside coil surface to the outside, the mesh may be removed by first removing the
top of the unit which will allow for removal of the wire
cage.

The outdoor unit and indoor blower cycle on demand from
the room thermostat. When the thermostat blower switch
is in the ON position, the indoor blower operates continuously.

Then, using pliers to grip the head of the push pins, pull
straight out to extract the push pins along one side of
the coil, If necessary, remove the push pins along the
back of the unit; it is usually unnecessary to fully remove the inner mesh screen,

NOTE - Whfe residue may surface on guards and grilles
of outdoor units. This is caused by mild acids present in
minute quantities in the plasticizer applied to make the
coating flexible. The residue is comprised of non-toxic,
common fatty acids found in natural animal and vegetable
otis, and can be removed by wiping the parts with a cloth.
Once outside, and over time, the rain will wash off any remaining residue.
Maintenance and service must be performed by a qualified
installer or service agency. At the beginning of each cooling season, the system should be checked as follows:

Drape the mesh screen back and wash the coil. When
all the debris has been removed from the coil, reinstall
the mesh screen by positioning it in its original position
and reinserting the push pin. No tool is required to
push the pin back into the same slot in the fins,
If the push pin is loose and tends not to stay in place,
brush the fins with a 22 fpi fin brush (except model
-024, 18 fpi), Line up the push pin a couple fins to the
right or left of the original hole and re-insert the pin,
