Clearances

A - Slab Mounting
When installing the unit at grade level, install it on a level
slab that is high enough above the grade to allow water to
drain adequately. The top of slab should be located so runoff water from higher ground will not collect around the unit,
B - Roof Mounting
Install the unit at a minimum of 101 mm above the roof's surface. Ensure that the weight of the unit is properly distributed
over roof joists and rafters. Either redwood or steel supports
are recommended.

The wiring must conform with current local codes and the
current Canadian Electrical Code (CEC). Refer and comply
with local electrical codes for field wiring rules and regulations.
Refer to the furnace or blower coil installation instructions for
additional wiring application diagrams and refer to unit rating
plate for minimum circuit ampacity and maximum overcurrent protection size.

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 oxidation and the introduction d moisture 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 (approved 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 possible to the expansion device. Do not leave the drier
uncapped for more than 10 to 15 minutes prior to
brazing, evacuation and leak testing.

FIGURE 6

After the line set has been connected to the indoor and outdoor units, the line set connections and indoor unit must be
checked for leaks.

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 piping and compressor parts.

,WARNING

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 service 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 vacuum 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 pressure in a vacuum is equal to atmospheric pressure minus 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.

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 according to the charging instructions. The R407C refrigerant
cylinder should be chocolate brown.

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.

The compressor is charged with sufficient polyol ester
oil for line set lengths up to 15 m. If line set lengths longer than 15 m will be required, add I ounce (28 gm) of oil
for every additional 3 m of line set. Do not add any more
than 207 ml of oil. Copeland has approved Mobil EAL '"

1 - After the pressures have stabilized, attach the manifold gauge hose to the liquid service port, and record
the liquid pressure. At the same time, use a digital thermometer to record the liquid line temperature,

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,

2 - Use table 3 to determine the saturation temperature
that corresponds with the liquid line pressure reading.

_WARNING

3 - To determine subcooling, subtract the liquid line temperature from the saturation temperature (table 3):
Saturation
-Liquid

Temperature

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.

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 before 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.

The condensing unit and the indoor blower cycle on demand from room thermostat. When the thermostat blower
switch is switched to the ON position, the indoor blower operates continuously,
Timed-Off

Evaporator

Control

Units include a timed-off control which helps equalize system 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 prevents 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

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,

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 reset 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).

Coil

1 - If necessary, clean coil.
2 - Check connecting lines and coils for evidence of oil
leaks,
3 - Check condensate line and clean, if necessary.
Indoor

Unit

1 - Clean or change filters,
2 - Adjust blower speed for cooling. The pressure drop
over the coil should be measured to determine the correct blower CFM, Refer to the unit information service
manual for pressure drop tables and procedure,
3 - Belt Drive Blowers -- Check belt for wear and proper
tension,
4 - Check all wiring for loose connections
5 - Check for correct voltage at unit (blower operating).
6 - Check amp-draw on blower motor
