ALL phases of this installation must comply with NATIONAL, STATE AND LOCAL CODES

IMPORTANT -- This Document is customer property and is to remain with this unit. Please return to service information

pack upon completion of work.

These instructions do not cover all variations in

systems nor provide for every possible contingency to

be met in connection with installation. All phases of

this installation must comply with NATIONAL, STATE

AND LOCAL CODES. Should further information be

desired or should particular problems arise which are not

covered sufficiently for the purchaser's purposes, the matter

should be referred to your installing dealer or local distributor.

A. GENERAL

The following instructions cover 4TTX3; 4TTX4 Condensing

Units.

NOTICE:

These outdoor units may be used with indoor units

equipped with Thermostatic Expansion Valve or

Accutron TM Flow Control Check Valve (F.C.C.V.) assembly

for refrigerant flow control only.

These units use R-410A refrigerant which operates at 50

to 70% higher pressures than R-22. Use only R-410A

approved service equipment. Refrigerant cylinders are

painted a "Rose" color to indicate the type of refrigerant

and may contain a"dip" tube to allow for charging of liquid

refrigerant into the system. All R-410A systems use a POE

oil that readily absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. To

limit this "hygroscopic" action, the system should remain

sealed whenever possible. Never break a vacuum with air

and always change the driers when opening the system for

component replacement.

Check for transportation damage after unit is uncrated.

Report promptly, to the carrier, any damage found to the unit.

To determine the electrical power requirements of the unit,

refer to the nameplate of the unit. The electrical power

available must agree with that listed on the nameplate.

B. LOCATION &PREPARATION

OF THE UNiT

1. When removing unit from the pallet, notice the tabs on

the basepan. Remove tabs by cutting with a sharp tool as

shown in Figure 2 (see page 2).

UNiT CONTAINS R-410A REFRIGERANT!

R-410A OPERATING PRESSURE EXCEEDS THE

LiMiT OF R-22. PROPER SERVICE EQUIPMENT IS

REQUIRED. FAILURE TO USE PROPER SERVICE

TOOLS MAY RESULT IN EQUIPMENT DAMAGE OR

PERSONAL INJURY.

SERVICE

USE ONLY R-410A REFRIGERANT AND

APPROVED POE COMPRESSOR OiL.

5 FT. ABOVE UNIT=UNRESTRICTED

2. The unit should be set on a level support pad at least as

large as the unit base pan, such as a concrete slab. If this

is not the application used please refer to application

bulletin "XLi-APG**-EN" (* latest revision number).

|nsta||er's Guide

3. The support pad must NOT be in direct contact with any

structure. Unit must be positioned a minimum of 12"

from any wall or surrounding shrubbery to insure

adequate airflow. Clearance must be provided in front of

control box (access panels) & any other side requiring

service access to meet National Electrical Code. Also,

the unit location must be far enough away from any

structure to prevent excess roof run-offwater from

pouring directly on the unit. Do not locate unit(s) close

to bedroom(s).

4. The top discharge area must be unrestricted for at least

five (5) feet above the unit.

5. When the outdoor unit is mounted on a roof', be sure the

roof will support the unit's weight. Properly selected

isolation is recommended to prevent sound or vibration

transmission to the building structure.

6. The maximum length of refrigerant lines from outdoor to

indoor unit should NOT exceed sixty (60) feet.

7. If outdoor unit is mounted above the air handler,

maximum lift should not exceed sixty (60) feet (suction

line). If air handler is mounted above condensing unit,

maximum lift should not exceed sixty (60) feet (liquid

line).

NOTE:

Refer to "Refrigerant Piping Software" Pub. No. 32-3312-0",

and "Refrigerant Piping Manual Pub. No. 32-3009=0* (the

position of the * denotes the latest revision no.)

8. Locate and install indoor coil or air handler in accor-

dance with instruction included with that unit.

C. ACCUTRON TM FLOW CONTROL VALVE

If the indoor unit System Refrigerant Flow control is an

Accutron TM orifice and check valve assembly, an orifice size

change may be necessary.

The outdoor model determines the required orifice size.

Check the listed orifice size on nameplate of the selected

outdoor model. If the indoor unit is factory shipped with a

diffhrent orifice size, the orifice must be changed to obtain

system rated performance.

NOTE:

Attach R-410A CAUTION Label (located in documentation

package) to access panel of indoor section.

IMPORTANT:

The outdoor unit is shipped withthe proper size orifice and a

stick-on orifice size label in an envelope attached to the outdoor

unit. Outdoor unit nameplate will have correct orifice size

specified as BA YFCCV---A for rated performance.

D. iNSTALLiNG REFRIGERANT LINES

If using existing refrigerant lines make certain that all joints

are brazed, not soldered.

Condensing units have provisions for braze connections.

Pressure taps are provided on the service valves of outdoor

unit for compressor suction and liquid pressures.

The indoor end of the recommended refrigerant line sets may

be straight or with a 90 degree bend, depending upon situa-

tion requirements. This should be thoroughly checked out

before ordering refrigerant line sets.

The gas line must always be insulated.

In scroll compressor applications, dome temperatures may

be hot. Do not touch top of compressor, may cause minor

to severe burning.

The units are factory charged with the system charge

required when using fifteen (15) feet of connecting line. Unit

nameplate charge is the same.

Final refrigerant charge adjustment is necessary. Use

the Charging Charts in the outdoor unit Service Facts.

1. Determine the most practical way to run the lines.

2. Consider types of bends to be made and space limitations.

NOTE:

Large diameter tubing will be very difficult to rebend once it

has been shaped.

3. Determine the best starting point for routing the

refrigerant tubing -- INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE

STRUCTURE.

Provide a pull-thru hole of sufficient size to allow both

liquid and gas lines.

Be sure the tubing is of sufficient length.

Uncoil the tubing -- do not ldnk or dent.

Route the tubing making all required bends and properly

secure the tubing before maMng connections.

To prevent a noise within the building structure due to

vibration transmission from the refrigerant lines, the

following precautions should be taken:

a. When the refrigerant lines have to be fastened to floor

joists or other framing in a structure, use isolation

type hangers.

b. Isolation hangers should also be used when refrigerant

lines are run in stud spaces or enclosed ceilings.

c. Where the refrigerant lines run through a wall or sill,

they should be insulated and isolated.

d. Isolate the lines from all ductwork.

E. SERVICE VALVE OPERATION

BRASS LIQUID LiNE SERVICE VALVE

The Brass Liquid Line Service Valve is factory shipped in the

seated position to hold factory charge. The pressure tap

service port (when depressed) opens only to the field brazing

side of the valve when the valve is in the seated position.

The liquid line valve is not a back seating valve (see

WARNING below).

Extreme caution should be exercised when opening the

Liquid Line Service Valve. Turn valve stem counterclock-

wise only until the stem contacts the rolled edge. (See

Figure 4) No torque is required.

BRASS GAS LINE SERVICE VALVE

The Brass Gas Line Service Valve is shipped in the closed

position to hold the fhctory refrigerant charge. The pressure

tap service port (when depressed) opens only to the field

brazing side when the valve is in the closed position. The Gas

Line Service Valve is full open with a 1/4 turn. See Figure 5.

BRAZING REFRIGERANT LINES

1. Remove lower access cover to access service valves.

2. Before brazing, remove plugs from external eopper stub

tubes. Clean internal and external surfaces of stub

tubes prior to brazing.

3. Cut and fit tubing, minimizing the use of sharp 90° bends.

4. Insulate the entire gas line and its fittings.

5. Do NOT allow uninsulated liquid line to come in direct

contact with bare gas line.

6. Precautions should be taken to avoid heat damage

to the pressure tap valve core during brazing. It is

recommended that the pressure tap port valve

core be removed and a wet rag wrapped around

the valve body.

NOTICE:

Use care to make sure that no moisture enters pressure tap

port, while wet rag is being used.

NOTICE:

Precautions should be taken to avoid heat damage to

basepan during brazing. It is recommended to keep the

flame directly off of the baeepan.

18-AC50D1-3

7. Use a Dry Nitrogen Purge and Brazing Alloy without flux

when brazing the field line to the copper factory connec-

tion. Flow dry nitrogen into either valve pressure tap

port, thru the tubing and out the other port while brazing.

8. Braze using accepted good brazing techniques.

LEAK CHECK

IMPORTANT:

Replace pressure tap port valve core before attaching hoses for

evacuation.

After the brazing operation of refrigerant lines to both the

outdoor and indoor unit is completed, the field brazed

connections must be checked for leaks. Pressurize through

the service valve ports, the indoor unit and field refrigerant

lines with dry nitrogen to 350-400 psi. Use soap bubbles or

other leak-checking methods to see that all field joints are

leak-free! If not, release pressure; then repair!

SYSTEM EVACUATION

NOTE:

Since the outdoor unit has a refrigerant charge, the gas and

liquid line valves must remain closed.

1. Upon completion of leak check, evacuate the refrigerant

lines and indoor coil before opening the gas and liquid

line valves.

2. Attach appropriate hoses from manifold gauge to gas

and liquid line pressure taps.

NOTE:

Unnecessary switching of hoses can be avoided and

complete evacuation of all lines leading to sealed system

can be accomplished with manifold center hose and

connecting branch hose to a cylinder of R-410A and

vacuum pump.

Attach center hose of manifold gauges to vacuum pump.

Evacuate until the micron gauge reads no higher than

350 microns.

5. Close offvalve to vacuum pump and observe the micron

gauge. If gauge pressure rises above 500 microns in one (1)

minute., then evacuation is incomplete, or system has a leak.

6. If vacuum gauge does not rise above 500 microns in

one (1) minute, the evacuation should be complete.

7. With vacuum pump and micron gauge blanked off; open

valve on R-410A cylinder and charge refrigerant lines and

indoor coil with vapor to tank pressure of R-410A supply.

8. Close valve on R-410A supply cylinder. Close valves on

manifold gauge set and remove refrigerant charging

hoses from liquid and gas pressure tap ports.

NOTE:

A 3/16" Allen wrench is required to open liquid line service

valve. A I/4" Open End or Adjustable wrench is required

to open gas line valve. A 3/4" Open End wrench is required

to take off the valve stem cap.

9. The liquid line shut-offvalve can now be opened. Remove

shut-off valve cap. Fully insert hex wrench into the stem

and backout counte.rclockwise until valve stem just touches

rolled edge (approximately five [5] turns) observing

WARNING statement on page 3. See Figure 4.

10. Replace liquid service pressure tap port cap and valve

stem cap. These caps MUST BE REPLACED to

prevent leaks. Replace valve stem cap and pressure tap

cap finger tight, then tighten an additional 1/6 turn.

11. The gas valve can now be opened. Open the gas valve

by removing the shut-off valve cap and turning the valve

stein 1/4 turn counterclockwise, using 1/4" Open End or

Adjustable wrench. See Figure 5.

12. The gas valve is now open for refrigerant flow. Replace

valve stem cap to prevent leaks. Again, these caps

MUST BE REPLACED to prevent leaks. Replace valve

stem cap and pressure tap cap finger tight, then tighten

an additional 1/6 turn. See Figure 5.

If refrigerant lines are longer than 15 feet and/or a

difihrent size than recommended, it will be necessary to

adjust system refrigerant charge upon completion of

installation. See unit Service Facts.

F. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

When installing or servicing this equipment, ALWAYS

exercise basic safety precautions to avoid the possibility

of electric shock.

1. Power -wiring and grounding of equipment must comply

with local codes.

2. Power supply must agree with equipment nameplate.

3. Install a separate disconnect switch at the outdoor unit.

4. Ground the outdoor unit per local code requirements.

5. Provide flexible electrical conduit whenever vibration

transmission may create a noise problem within the

structure.

6. The use of color coded low voltage wire is recommended

to simplify connections between the outdoor unit, the

thermostat and the indoor unit.

Table 1-- NEC Class II Control Wiring

24 VOLTS

WIRE SIZE MAX. WIRE LENGTH

18 AWG 150 FT

16 AWG 225 FT.

14 AWG 300 FT.

7. Table i defines maximum total length of low voltage

wiring from outdoor unit, to indoor unit, and to thermostat.

8. Mount the indoor thermostat in accordance with instruc-

tion included with the thermostat. Wire per appropriate

hook-up diagram (included in these instructions).

G. COMPRESSOR START UP

After all electrical wiring is complete, SET THE THERMO-

STAT SYSTEM SWITCH IN THE OFF POSITION SO

COMPRESSOR WILL NOT RUN, and apply power by

closing the system main disconnect switch. This will activate

the compressor sump heat (where used). Do not change the

Thermostat System Switch until power has been applied for

one (1) hour. Following this procedure -will prevent potential

compressor overload trip at the initial start-up.

H. OPERATIONAL AND

CHECKOUT PROCEDURES

Final phases of this installation are the unit Operational and

Checkout Procedures which are found in this instruction (see

page 8). To obtain proper performance, all units must be

operated and charge adjustments made in accordance with

procedures found in the Service Facts.

I. ELECTRIC HEATERS

Electric heaters, if used, are to be installed in the air han-

dling device according to the instructions accompanying the

air handler and the heaters.

J. START CONTROL

Some models have quick start components which are factory

installed. For models that do not have factory installed start

components, provisions are made for a field installed start kit

accessory. When adding an accessory, follow the instructions

provided with the kit.

K. OUTDOOR THERMOSTAT

An outdoor thermostat TAYSTAT250A may be field installed.

For data, see wiring diagram attached to unit and instruction

sheet packaged with outdoor thermostat.

L. XL SEACOAST SHIELD

All units are shipped with a black Seacoast Shield attached

to the access panel. Removal of the shield will potentially

shorten the life of the joints in the outdoor coil.
