If refrigerant lines are routed through a wall, seal and iso-

late the opening so vibration is not transmitted to the build-

ing.

NOTE - Line length should be no greater than 15.2 m. Se-

lect line set diameters from table 1 to ensure oil return to the

compressor.

Brazing Connection Procedure

1 - The end of the refrigerant line must be cut square and its

internal shape must remain round. The line must be free

of nicks or dents and must be deburred (I.D. and O.D.)

2 - Before making line set connections, use dry nitrogen to

purge the refrigerant piping. This will help to prevent ox-

idation and the introduction dmoisture into the system.

3 - Use silver alloy brazing rods (5 or 6 percent silver alloy

for copper-to-copper brazing or 45 percent silver alloy

for copper-to-brass or copper-to-steel brazing) which

are rated for use with R407C refrigerant. Wrap a wet

cloth around the valve body and the copper tube stub.

4 - Quench the joint with water or a wet cloth to prevent

heat damage to the valve core and opening port.

IMPORTANT -The tube end must stay bottomed in the

fitting during final assembly to ensure proper seating,

sealing and rigidity.

5-Install the provided thermal expansion valve (ap-

proved for use with R407C refrigerant) in the liquid line

at the indoor coil.

6 - Install the provided filter drier (approved for use with

R407C refrigerant) in the liquid line as close as pos-

sible to the expansion device. Do not leave the drier

uncapped for more than 10 to 15 minutes prior to

brazing, evacuation and leak testing.

7 - Install the sight glass on the liquid line at the outdoor

unit. Wrap the sight glass with a wet rag to protect it

during installation.

&WARNING

Plumbing Connections

HS40 Matched with New Indoor Coil and Line Set

If an existing indoor coil which was equipped with an

RFCI metering device is being replaced, the liquid line

must also be replaced prior to the installation of the

HS40 unit.

&IMPORTANT

Page 4

,CAUTION

Required Equipment

You will need the following equipment in order to flush the

existing line set and indoor coil: two clean R22 recovery

bottles, an oilless recovery machine with a pump down fea-

ture, and two sets of gauges (one for use with R22 and one

for use with the R407C).

Flushing Procedure

1 - Remove existing R22 refrigerant using the appropri-

ate procedure below.

If the existing outdoor unit is not equipped with

shut-off valves, or if the unit is not operational

AND you plan to use the existing R22 refrigerant to

flush the system -- Disconnect all power to the exist-

ing outdoor unit. Connect the existing unit, a clean re-

covery cylinder and the recovery machine according

to the instructions provided with the recovery ma-

chine. Remove all R22 refrigerant from the existing

system. Refer to gauges after shutdown to confirm

that the entire system is completely void of refrigerant.

Disconnect the liquid and suction lines from the exist-

ing outdoor unit.

If the existing outdoor unit is equipped with manu-

al shut-off valves AND you plan to use NEW R22

refrigerant to flush the system -- Start the existing

R22 system in the cooling mode and close the liquid

line valve. Pump all of the existing R22 refrigerant

back into the outdoor unit. (It may be necessary to by-

pass the low pressure switches to ensure complete re-

frigerant evacuation.) When the low side system pres-

sures reach 0 psig, close the suction line valve. Dis-

connect all power to the existing outdoor unit. Refer to

gauges after shutdown to confirm that the valves are

not allowing refrigerant to flow back into the low side d

the system. Disconnect the liquid and vapor lines from

the existing outdoor unit.

2 - Remove the existing outdoor unit. Set the new R407C

unit and follow the brazing connection procedure

which begins on the previous page to make line set

connections, DO NOT install provided R407C ex-

pansion valve at this time.

Make low voltage and line voltage connections to the

new outdoor unit. DO NOT turn on power to the unit

or open the outdoor unit service valves at this

time.

3 - Remove the existing refrigerant flow control orifice or

thermal expansion valve before continuing with flush-

ing procedures. The existing devices are not approved

for use with R407C refrigerant and may prevent prop-

er flushing. Use a field-provided fitting to reconnect the

lines.

,IMPORTANT

4 - Remove the pressure tap valve cores from the HS40

unit's service valves. Connect an R22 cylinder with

clean refrigerant to the suction service valve. Con-

nect the R22 gauge set to the liquid line valve and

connect a recovery machine with an empty recovery

tank to the gauge set.

5 - Set the recovery machine for liquid recovery and start

the recovery machine. Open the gauge set valves to

allow the recovery machine to pull a vacuum on the ex-

isting system line set and indoor coil.

6 - Invert the cylinder of clean R22 and open its valve to

allow liquid refrigerant to flow into the system through

the suction line valve. Allow the refrigerant to pass

from the cylinder and through the line set and the in-

door coil before it enters the recovery machine.

7 - After all of the liquid refrigerant has been recovered,

switch the recovery machine to vapor recovery so that

all of the R22 vapor is recovered. All the recovery ma-

chine to pull a vacuum on the system.

NOTE -A single system flush should remove all of the

mineral oil from the existing refrigerant lines and in-

door coil. A second flushing may be done (using clean

refrigerant) if insufficient amounts of mineral oil were

removed during the first flush. Each time the system

is flushed, you must allow the recovery machine

to pull a vacuum on the system at the end of the

procedure.

8- Close the valve on the inverted R22 drum and the

gauge set valves. Pump the remaining refrigerant out

of the recovery machine and turn the machine off.

9 - Use nitrogen to break the vacuum on the refrigerant

lines and indoor coil before removing the recovery ma-

chine, gauges and R22 refrigerant drum. Reinstall

pressure tap valve cores into HS40 service valves.

10 -Install the provided expansion valve (approved for use

with R407C refrigerant) in the liquid line at the indoor

coil.

,WARNING

Using an Electronic Leak Detector

&IMPORTANT

1 - Connect the high pressure hose of the manifold gauge

set to the suction valve service port. (Normally, the high

pressure hose is connected to the liquid line port, how-

ever, connecting it to the suction port helps to protect

the manifold gauge set from damage caused by high

pressure.)

2 - With both manifold valves closed, connect the cylinder

of R407C refrigerant, Open the valve on the R407C

cylinder (vapor only).

3 - Open the high pressure side of the manifold to allow

R407C into the line set and indoor unit, Weigh in a trace

amount of R407C, [A trace amount is a maximum of 2

ounces (57 g) refrigerant or 3 pounds (31 kPa) pres-

sure]. Close the valve on the R407C cylinder and the

valve on the high pressure side of the manifold gauge

set. Disconnect R407C cylinder.

4 - Connect a cylinder of nitrogen with a pressure regulat-

ing valve to the center port of the manifold gauge set,

5 - Adjust nitrogen pressure to 150 psig (1034 kPa), Open

the valve on the high side of the manifold gauge set in

order to pressurize the line set and the indoor coil,

6 - After a short period of time, open a refrigerant port to

make sure that an adequate amount of refrigerant has

been added for detection (refrigerant requirements

will vary with line lengths). Check all joints for leaks,

Purge nitrogen and R407C mixture, Correct any leaks

and recheck,

Evacuating the system of non-condensables is critical for

proper operation of the unit. Non-condensables are defined

as any gas that will not condense under temperatures and

pressures present during operation of an air conditioning

system. Non-condensables and water vapor combine with

refrigerant to produce substances that corrode copper pip-

ing and compressor parts.

1 -Connect the manifold gauge set to the service valve

ports as follows: low pressure gauge to suction line

service valve; high pressure gauge to liquid line ser-

vice valve.

IMPORTANT- Compliant scroll compressors (as with

any refrigerant compressor) should never be used to

evacuate a refrigeration or air conditioning system.

NOTE -A temperature vacuum gauge, mercury vacu-

um or thermocouple gauge should be used. The usual

Bourdon tube gauges are inaccurate in the vacuum

range.

NOTE -The term absolute pressure means the total

actual pressure within a given volume or system,

above the absolute zero of pressure. Absolute pres-

sure in a vacuum is equal to atmospheric pressure mi-

nus vacuum pressure.

6 -When the absolute pressure reaches 23 mm (23,000

microns) 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 system. Close the manifold

gauge valves.

&WARNING

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 system.

8-Reconnect the manifold gauge to the vacuum pump,

turn the pump on and continue to evacuate the system

until the absolute pressure does not rise above .5 mm

(500 microns) 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 from step 9

has been met, disconnect the manifold gauge hose

from the vacuum pump. Then, weigh in a LIQUID

charge of R407C through the liquid and suction service

valves.

Refer to the unit nameplate for the correct liquid charge.

If you can not measure in the total amount, refer to the

start-up section and set the final system charge accord-

ing to the charging instructions. The R407C refrigerant

cylinder should be chocolate brown.

1 - Rotate the fan to check for frozen bearings or binding.

2 - Inspect all factory and field-installed wiring for loose

connections.

3 - Check voltage supply at the disconnect switch. The

voltage must be within range listed on unit nameplate.

If not, do not start equipment until the power company

has been consulted and the voltage condition cor-

rected.

4 - Set thermostat for a cooling demand, turn on power to

blower and close condensing unit disconnect switch to

start.

5 - Recheck unit voltage with unit running. Power must be

within range shown on unit nameplate. Check amper-

age draw of unit. Refer to unit nameplate for correct

running amps.

Charge the unit with the amount of liquid R407C refrigerant

that is indicated on the unit namplate. This charge is based

on a matching indoor coil and outdoor coil with 4.6 m line

set. For varying lengths dline set, refer to table 2 for refrig-

erant charge adjustment.

&IMPORTANT

The compressor is charged with sufficient polyol ester

oil for line set lengths up to 15 m. If line set lengths lon-

ger than 15 mwill be required, add I ounce (28 gm) of oil

for every additional 3 mof line set. Do not add any more

than 207 ml of oil. Copeland has approved Mobil EAL '"

Arctic 22CC and ICI EMKARATE'" RL32CF for use with

these compressors when oil must be added in the field.

The following procedure is intended as a general guide and

is for use on expansion valve systems only. For best results,

the indoor temperature must range from 21°C to 26°C. Be

sure to monitor system pressures while charging.

Checking Unit Charge Using Subcooling when

Outdoor Temperature is >_16°C

1 - After the pressures have stabilized, attach the man-

ifold gauge hose to the liquid service port, and record

the liquid pressure. At the same time, use a digital ther-

mometer to record the liquid line temperature,

2 - Use table 3 to determine the saturation temperature

that corresponds with the liquid line pressure reading.

3 - To determine subcooling, subtract the liquid line tem-

perature from the saturation temperature (table 3):

Saturation Temperature

-Liquid Line Temperature

=Subcooling

4 - If the system is operating at subcooling values higher

than 4,4 - 5,5°C, recover refrigerant,

5 - If the system is operating at subcooling values lower

than 4,4 - 5,5°C, add refrigerant through the suction

valve in the liquid state. Some R407C cylinders are

equipped with a dip tube which allows you to draw

liquid refrigerant from the bottom of the cylinder

without turning the cylinder upside-down. The

cylinder will be marked if it is equipped with a dip

tube.

The condensing unit and the indoor blower cycle on de-

mand from room thermostat. When the thermostat blower

switch is switched to the ON position, the indoor blower op-

erates continuously,

Timed-Off Control

Units include a timed-off control which helps equalize sys-

tem pressures. The timed-off control delays compressor

start-up for five minutes on thermostat demand, This allows

the compressor to start in an unloaded condition and pre-

vents compressor short-cycling, The control is located in

the control box and is wired between thermostat terminal

"Y" and the compressor contactor,

High Pressure and Low Pressure Switches

Units include a high pressure switch and a low pressure

switch. The pressure switches are located on valve cores

in the liquid line to allow for easy access, The manually re-

set high pressure switch protects the system from high

pressure conditions which result from a fan failure or a

blocked or dirty coil. The low pressure switch (SPST, NO)

protects the system compressor from damage due to a

loss of charge. The loss of charge switch trips at 25 + 5

psig (172+ 34 kPa) and automatically resets at 55+ 5 psig

(379 + 34 kPa).

Refrigerant Sight Glass

A refrigerant sight glass is provided (in the bag assembly)

with the unit, The sight glass should be field-installed in the

liquid line to monitor the system refrigerant,

_WARNING

At the beginning of each cooling season, the system

should be checked as follows:

1- Clean and inspect condenser coil, Coil may be

flushed with a water hose. Make sure power is off be-

fore cleaning,

2 - Visually inspect connecting lines and coils for evidence

of oil leaks,

3 - Check wiring for loose connections.

4 - Check for correct voltage at unit (unit operating),

5 - Check condenser fan motor amp-draw.

Unit nameplate Actual

NOTE _If owner complains of insufficient cooling, the unit

should be gauged and refrigerant charge checked, Refer to

section on refrigerant charging in this instruction,
