Procedure

1 - The ends of refrigerant lines must be cut square, free
from nicks or dents and deburred. The pipe must remain round, Do not pinch the end of the line.
2 - Wrap a wet cloth around the liquid line valve body and
copper tube stub to protect them from heat damage
during brazing, Wrap another wet cloth underneath
the liquid valve to protect the base paint,
3 - Quench the joints with a wet cloth to prevent possible
heat damage to the valve core and opening port,

HP40 units are applicable to thermal expansion valve
systems only. An expansion valve appropriate for use
with R407C refrigerant is shipped with the outdoor unit,

Flushing

Procedure

1 - Remove existing R22 refrigerant using the appropriate procedure below.
If the existing outdoor unit is not equipped with shutoff 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 existing outdoor unit. Connect the existing unit, a clean recovery
cylinder and the recovery machine according to the
instructions provided with the recovery machine. 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 vapor lines from the existing
outdoor unit.
If the existing outdoor unit is equipped with manual
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 bypass

-&WARNING

-&WARNING
Evacuating the system of non-condensables is critical for
the unit to operate properly. Non-condensables are defined as any gas that will not condense under temperatures
and pressures present during operation d an air conditioning system. Non-condensables and water vapor combine
with refrigerant to produce substances that corrode copper
piping and compressor parts.
1- Connect 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 - Use a temperature vacuum gauge, mercury
vacuum, or thermocouple gauge. The usual Bourdon
tube gauges are inaccurate in the vacuum range.
2 -The nitrogen holding charge in the unit must be released. Open both manifold valves to release the nitrogen from the unit. See the liquid and suction line
service valves section for how to operate the service
valves.

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

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, condensing unit, and indoor
unit to an absolute pressure of 23 mm (23,000 microns) 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, the leak testing
procedure must be repeated.
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 the vacuum
pump. Attach the manifold center port hose to a nitro-

Cooling

Start-Up

1 - Check the unit disconnect switch to make sure power
is off.
2 - Rotate the fan to check for frozen bearings or binding.
3 - Inspect all factory and field-installed wiring for loose
connections.
4-

Replace the stem caps. Tighten finger tight, then
tighten an additional 1/6 turn.

5 - Check the voltage supply at the disconnect switch.
The voltage must be within the range listed on the unit
nameplate. If not, do not start the equipment until the
you have consulted the power company, and the voltage condition has been corrected.
6 - Set the thermostat for cooling demand, turn on the
power to the indoor blower coil, and close the heat
pump unit disconnect switch to start the unit.

3 - If the pressure is too low, block the airflow through
the outdoor coil until the liquid line pressure stabilizes in a range from 1379 to 1724 kPa, At that time,
record the liquid line temperature and the liquid line
pressure reading.

5 - Subtract the liquid line temperature from the saturation temperature (according to the chart) to determine
subcooling. (Saturation temperature - Liquid line
temperature = Subcooling.) Subcooling should
be between 4.4-5.5°C. If subcooling is greater than
4.4 - 5.5°C, recover some refrigerant. Ifsubcooling is
less than 4,4 - 5,5°C, add some refrigerant,

Control

Timing

Pins

Each timing pin selection provides a different accumulated compressor run time period during one thermostat run cycle, This time period must occur before a defrost cycle is initiated, The defrost interval can be adjusted to 30 (T1), 60 (T2), or 90 (T3) minutes, See figure
10. The defrost timing jumper is factory-installed to provide a 60-minute defrost interval, If the timing selector
jumper is not in place, the control defaults to a 90-minute defrost interval. The maximum defrost period is 14
minutes and cannot be adjusted.
A TEST option is provided for troubleshooting, The TEST
mode may be started any time the unit is in the heating mode and the defrost thermostat is closed or
jumpered. If the jumper is in the TEST position at powerup, the control will ignore the test pins. When the jumper is
placed across the TEST pins for two seconds, the control
will enter the defrost mode. If the jumper is removed before an additional 5-second period has elapsed (7 seconds total), the unit will remain in defrost mode until the
defrost thermostat opens or 14 minutes have passed, If
the jumper is not removed until after the additional 5-second period has elapsed, the defrost will terminate and the
test option will not function again until the jumper is removed and re-applied,
Pressure

Switch

Circuit

The defrost control incorporates a pressure switch circuit
that allows the application of an optional high pressure
switch, See figure 10, During a demand cycle, the defrost
control will lock out the unit if the optional high pressure
switch opens. The diagnostic LEDs will display a pattern
for an open high pressure switch, See table 3, The unit will
remain locked out until the switch resets or is reset.
Remove the factory-installed jumper before connecting
the optional high pressure switch to the control board,
NOTE - If not using a pressure switch, the factoryinstalled jumper wire must be connected,
Diagnostic

LEDs

The defrost board uses two LEDs for diagnostics. The
LEDs flash a specific sequence according to the condition.
TABLE 3
DEFROST CONTROL

At the beginning of each heating or cooling season, check
the system as follows:
Heat Pump Unit
1 - Clean and inspect the outdoor coil, You may flush the
coil with a water hose, Make sure the power is off before you clean the coil.
2-

The outdoor unit fan motor is pre-lubricated and
sealed, The fan motor requires no more lubrication,

3 - Inspect all connecting lines, joints, and coils for evidence of oil leaks,
4 - Check all wiring for loose connections,
5 - Check for correct voltage at the unit while the unit is
operating.
6 - Check amp draw on the heat pump fan motor.
