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 installa-
tion must comply with NATIONAL, STATE AND LOCAL
CODES. Should further information be desired or should par-
ticular 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
WARNING:
This information is intended
for use by individuals possessing adequate backgrounds
of electrical and mechanical experience. Any attempt to
repair a central air conditioning product may result in
personal injury and or property damage. The manufac-
turer or seller cannot be responsible for the interpreta-
tion of this information, nor can it assume any liability in
connection with its use.
NOTE: AMERICAN STANDARD HAS ALWAYS RECOM-
MENDED INSTALLING AMERICAN STANDARD AP-
PROVED MATCHED INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SYSTEMS.
THE BENEFITS OF INSTALLING APPROVED MATCHED
SYSTEMS ARE MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY, OPTIMUM PER-
FORMANCE AND BEST OVERALL SYSTEM RELIABILITY.
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 AND 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).
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 reference ALG-APG0*-EN (*latest revi-
sion 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 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-off
water from pouring directly on the unit. When choosing the
location of the unit(s), sound transmission through air and
refrigerant lineset should be taken into consideration. It is
recommended to locate unit(s) away from areas (bedrooms, etc.)
where such sound could be objectionable.
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 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 twenty-five (25) feet (suction line). If air
handler is mounted above condensing unit, maximum lift should
not exceed twenty-five (25) feet (liquid line).
8. Locate and install indoor coil or air handler in accordance
with instruction included with that unit.
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 latest
revision number).
C. INSTALLING REFRIGERANT LINES
CAUTION:
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 situation
