5 FT. ABOVE UNIT-UNRESTRICTED
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 alwayA 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.

shown in Figure 2 (see page 2).

large as the unit base pan, such as a concrete slab. If this
is not the application used please refer to application
bulletin "XL16i-APG**-EN"
(* latest revision number).
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

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 3) No torque is required.
BRASS GAS LiNE SERVICE VALVE
The Brass Gas Line Service Valve is shipped in the closed
position to hold the factory 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 4.
BRAZING REFRIGERANT LINES
1. Remove lower access cover to access service valves.

The gas line must always be insulated.

2. Before brazing, remove plugs from external eopper stub
tubes. Clean internal and external surfaces of stub
tubes prior to brazing.

in scroll compressor applications, dome temperatures may
be hot. Do not touch top of compressor, may cause minor
to severe burning.

3. Cut and fit tubing,
90 ° bends.

The units are factory charged with the system charge

NOTICE:
Precautions should be taken to avoid heat damage to

7. Use a Dry Nitrogen Purge and Brazing Alloy without flux
when brazing the field line to the copper factory connection. Flow dry nitrogen into either valve pressure tap
port, thru the tubing and out the other port while brazing.

methods to see that all field joints are leakfree! If not, release
pressure;
then repair!

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

START UP

After all electrical wiring is complete, SET THE THERMOSTAT 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.

I. START CONTROL

Wiring

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
