WARNING
Heavy Objects!
Do not use cables (chains or
slings) except as shown. Each of
the cables (chains or slings) used
to lift the unit must be capable of
supporting the entire weight of
the unit. Lifting cables (chains or
slings) may not be of the same
length. Adjust as necessary for
even unit lift. Other lifting
arrangements may cause equipment or property-only damage.
Failure to properly lift unit could
result in death or serious injury.
See details below.
The crated unit can be moved using a
forklift of suitable capacity. For lifting
the unit, attach lifting straps or slings
securely to the lifting holes at each
corner. Use spreader bars to protect
the unit casing from damage. Test lift
the unit to determine proper balance
and stability.

CAUTION
Equipment Damage!
Use spreader bars to prevent lifting straps from damaging the
unit. Install bars between lifting
straps. Failure to properly lift unit
may result in crushing unit cabinet or damaging unit finish.

Installation
Clearances
Provide enough space around the unit
to allow unrestricted access to all service points. Refer to Figure 1 through
Figure 4 for unit dimensions and minimum required service and free air
clearances. Observe the following
points to insure proper unit operation.

Figure 5 Roof Mounted Unit

A. Do not install the unit under a low
overhang. Condenser discharge must
not be restricted. See Notes in Figure
1 through Figure 4.
NOTICE: Do not obstruct condenser
discharge air. This can result in warm
air recirculation through the coil.
B. Do not locate the unit in a position
where runoff water can fall into the
fan discharge openings.

WARNING
C. Condenser intake air is supplied
from three or four sides of the unit.
Adhere to the minimum required
clearances given in Figure 1 through
Figure 4.
Unit Mounting
Rooftop Mounting: If the unit will be
roof mounted, determine for certain
that the structure is strong enough to
support the unit and any required
accessories. Unit weights are given in
Table 2. The unit should be elevated
on a level, field fabricated four-inch
steel or wood 4" x 4" mounting frame.
Complete the frame and secure it into
position before lifting the unit to the
roof. The mounting frame must support a minimum of three of the unit’s
four sides and should span roof supports to distribute the load on the
roof.

Structural Failure!
Ensure that the roof structure
supports are strong enough to
support the weight of the unit
and any accessories. Failure to do
this could result in death or serious injury due to structural failure and could seriously damage
the unit and the building.
Ground Level Mounting
“For ground level installation, the unit
base should be adequately supported
and hold the unit near level. The
installation must meet the guidelines
set forth in local codes.” The support
should extend two inches beyond the
unit base channels at all points. The
unit and support must be isolated
from any adjacent structure to prevent
possible noise or vibration problems.
Any ground level location must comply with required clearances given in
Figure 1 through Figure 4.

Holes must be made in the structure
to run refrigerant lines. For the majority of ground-level installations, the
holes can be made in the header that
rests on top of the foundation. Alternatively, these holes may also be
made in the foundation itself. On roofmounted units, refrigerant lines
should enter the building as close to
the unit as possible; preferably within
three to four inches of the refrigerant
connection on the unit, plus a six-inch
(long radius) 90 degree "L" entering
the building (See Figure 5).

Installation
Note: Insulate all refrigerant piping
and connections.
Refrigerant Piping Procedures
(Outdoor Units)
Each CTA unit ships with a holding
charge of dry nitrogen. The nitrogen
should be removed and the entire system evacuated (at the proper time) to
avoid possible contamination.
1. Remove the service access panel.
2. Locate the liquid and discharge
lines. Check that the piping connection stubs on the valves (Figure 6)
line up properly with the holes in
the unit cabinet.
Figure 6

4. Unbraze the tube seal caps to reveal
the line braze connections.

WARNING:
Hazardous Pressures!
Coil has a nitrogen holding
charge. Do not remove seal caps
by heating the caps while coil is
under pressure. Depress the
gauge port valve cores to gradually relieve nitrogen holding
charge. Remove valve cores
before removing the tubing seal
caps. Failure to properly relieve
pressure could result in death or
serious injury.

CAUTION:
Equipment Damage!
Do not remove the seal caps from
refrigerant connections until prepared to braze refrigerant lines to
the connections. Excessive exposure to atmosphere may allow
moisture or dirt to contaminate
the system, damaging valve seals
and causing ice formation in system components.

above the maximum recommended unit test pressure as
specified in applicable unit literature. Failure to properly regulate
pressure could result in a violent
explosion, which could result in
death or serious injury or equipment or property-only-damage.

CAUTION:
Equipment Damage!
Wet-wrap all valves and protect
painted surfaces from excessive
heat. Heat can damage system
components and the unit finish.
6. Shut off nitrogen supply.
7. Shut off the manifold valve for the
line that is connected to the discharge line gauge port.
Figure 7

5. Cut, fit and braze tubing, starting at
the outdoor unit and work toward
the indoor unit.
Note: Use long radius bells for all 90
degree bends.

3. Locate the gauge ports on the discharge and liquid lines. Depress the
valve core to release the nitrogen
from the unit.
Note: If nitrogen is not released from
the unit, there is a leak in the system.
Locate the leak and repair before proceeding with the installation.

PKG-SVX17A-EN

All brazing should be done using a 2
to 3 psig dry nitrogen purge flowing
through the pipe being brazed (Figure
6).

WARNING:
Hazardous Pressures!
When using dry nitrogen cylinders for pressurizing units for
leak testing, always provide a
pressure regulator on the cylinder
to prevent excessively high unit
pressures. Never pressurize unit

Refrigerant Piping Procedure
(Indoor Unit)
Once liquid and discharge lines are
complete to the refrigerant connections on the indoor unit, depress the
gauge port valve cores on the suction
and discharge lines to gradually
relieve nitrogen holding charge.

Installation

WARNING:
Hazard of Explosion and Deadly
Gases!
Never solder, braze or weld on
refrigerant lines or any unit components that are above atmospheric pressure or where
refrigerant may be present.
Always remove refrigerant by following the guidelines established by the EPA Federal Clean
Air Act or other state or local
codes as appropriate. After refrigerant removal, use dry nitrogen to
bring system back to atmospheric
pressure before opening system
12

for repairs. Mixtures of refrigerants and air under pressure may
become combustible in the presence of an ignition source leading
to an explosion. Excessive heat
from soldering, brazing or welding with refrigerant vapors
present can form highly toxic
gases and extremely corrosive
acids. Failure to follow all proper
safe refrigerant handling practices could result in death or serious injury.

4. Evacuate the system to hold a 350
micron vacuum.

3. Braze the liquid line connections.

7. With vacuum pump and micron
gauge blanked off, open the valve
on R-410A cylinder and allow refrigerant pressure to build up to 100
psig.

4. Open the gauge port on the discharge line and then braze the discharge line to the connection stub.
Nitrogen will bleed out the open
gauge port on the discharge line.
5. Shut off nitrogen supply.
Leak Check
After the brazing operation of the outdoor and indoor refrigerant lines is
complete, check the field brazed connections for leaks. Pressurize the system through the gauge port with dry
nitrogen to 200 psi. Use soap bubbles
or other leak-checking methods to
ensure that all field joints are leak
free. If not, release pressure, repair
and repeat the leak test.
System Evacuation
1. After completion of leak check,
replace suction, liquid and discharge valve cores, and evacuate
the system.
2. Attach appropriate hoses from the
manifold gauge to suction and discharge line gauge ports.
Note: Unnecessary switching of hoses
can be avoided and complete evacuation of lines leading to a sealed system can be accomplished with
manifold center hose and connecting
branch hose to cylinder of R-410A and
vacuum pump.
3. Attach center hose of manifold
gauges to the vacuum pump.

5. Close off the valve to the vacuum
pump and observe the micron
gauge. If gauge pressure rises
above 500 microns in one (1)
minute, evacuation is incomplete or
the system has a leak.
6. If vacuum gauge does not rise
above 500 microns in one (1)
minute, the evacuation should be
complete.

8. Close valve on the R-410A supply
cylinder. Close valves on the manifold gauge. Set and remove the
refrigerant charging hoses from the
discharge and suction gauge ports.
9. Leak test the entire system. Using
proper procedures and caution,
repair any leaks found and repeat
the leak test.
Refrigerant Charging Procedure
If charging by weight, refer to refrigerant charges that are provided in Table
3. If additional refrigerant is needed
because of length of line, calculate the
requirements using Table 4. Charge
by weight through the gauge port on
the suction line in the indoor unit.
When charging is complete, replace
the cap on the gauge port.
Insulating and Isolating
Refrigerant Lines
Insulate the entire discharge line with
refrigerant piping insulation. Also
insulate any portion of the liquid line
exposed to temperature extremes.
Insulate and isolate liquid and discharge lines from each other. Isolate
refrigerant lines from the structure
and any ductwork.
Note: To prevent possible noise or
vibration, be certain to isolate refrigerant lines from the building.

System
Pre-Start Procedure
Unit Start-Up
Once the unit is properly installed and
pre-start procedures
are complete, start the unit by turning
the System Switch on the indoor thermostat to either HEAT, COOL or AUTO.
The system should operate normally.

Sequence of Operation
General
Operation of the system cooling (and
optional heating) cycles is controlled
by the position of the system switch
on the room thermostat. Once the
system switch is placed in either the
HEAT or COOL position, unit operation is automatic. The optional automatic changeover thermostat, when
in the AUTO position, automatically
changes to heat or cool with sufficient
room temperature change.

Cooling Mode
When the room thermostat system
switch is positioned at COOL and the
fan switch is at AUTO, the condenser
fan relay energizes on a call for cooling. When the contacts of the condenser fan relay close, operation of
the condenser fan begins. The evaporator fan contactor also energizes on a
call for cooling and initiates evaporator fan operation.
On units with dual circuits, the second
stage of cooling is initiated as a result
of the 2-stage thermostat calling for
additional cooling.

Evaporator Fan (Indoor Supply
Air)
The evaporator fan is controlled by an
ON/AUTO switch on the room thermostat. With the switch positioned at
AUTO and the system operating in
the cooling mode, fan operation coincides with the cooling run cycles. If
the system is equipped with heat and
