Bryant ELECTRIC AIR CONDITIONER 561C User Manual

Form No. PDS 561C.18.6
ELECTRIC
AIR CONDITIONER
561C (60 Hz)
Sizes 018 thru 060
Model 561C Energy-Efficient Air Conditioners incorporate inno-
vative technology to provide reliable summer cooling perfor-
mance. Built into these units are the features most desired by
homeowners today including SEER ratings of up to 11.5 when
used with components designated by manufacturer. All models
are listed with UL, c-UL, ARI, CEC, and CSA-EEV.
AVAILABLE OPTIONS
UNIT DESIGN —Copper tube, enhanced sine wave aluminum
fin coil is designed for optimum heat transfer. Vertical air dis-
charge carries sound and hot condenser air up and away from
adjacent patio areas and foliage. Heat pump-style base pan for
easy removal of water, dirt, and leaves.
ELECTRICAL RANGE —All units are offered in 208–230v sin-
gle phase. Three-phase units are available from 030 through
060 sizes in 208/230v and from 036 through 060 sizes in 460v.
WIDE RANGE OF SIZES —The 561C is available in 7 nominal
sizes from 018 through 060 to meet the needs of residential and
light commercial applications.
WEATHER-PROTECTIVE CABINET —The steel panels are
protected with a galvanized coating then covered with a layer of
zinc phosphate. A modified polyester powder coating is then
applied and baked on, providing each unit with a hard, smooth
finish that will last for many years.
All screws on cabinet exterior are coated for a long-lasting, rust-
resistant, quality appearance.
TOTALLY ENCLOSED FAN MOTOR —Means greater reliability
under rain conditions and dependable performance for many
years. The permanent-split-capacitor-type motor was designed
for optimum efficiency. Then, under extreme conditions, the
motor was tested and qualified to help ensure the greatest reli-
ability.
APPLICATION VERSATILITY —The unit can be combined with
a wide variety of evaporator coils and blower packages to pro-
vide quiet, dependable comfort. Unit can be installed on a roof
or at ground level on a slab.
EXTERNAL SERVICE VALVES —The service valves are brass,
front seating type. The 561C has sweat field connections.
Valves are externally located so refrigerant tube connections
can be made quickly and easily. Each valve has a service port
for ease of checking operating refrigerant pressures.
EASY SERVICEABILITY —One access panel provides access
to electrical controls and compressor. Removal of wire dome
gives access to fan motor and removal of the top gives access
to the coil.
COMPRESSOR PROTECTION —Each compressor is pro-
tected with internal temperature- and current-sensitive over-
loads. An internal pressure relief valve provides high-pressure
protection to the refrigerant system.
LIMITED WARRANTY —Standard 1-year warranty on parts,
with an additional 4-year warranty on compressor.
