A07588
Fig. 1 – Connecting Tubing Installation
The outdoor unit contains the correct amount of refrigerant charge for
operation with AHRI rated and factory-approved smallest indoor unit
when connected by 15 ft (4.57 m) of field-supplied or factory accessory
tubing.
Adjust refrigerant charge by adding or removing the charge to/from the
unit depending on lineset length and indoor unit as calculated and
displayed on the UI. The user interface (UI) calculates required charge
adjustment and total system charge required. For proper unit operation,
check refrigerant charge using charging information in the Check Charge
section of this instruction.
IMPORTANT: Liquid-line size is 3/8-in. OD for all 186CNV
applications including long line applications.
IMPORTANT: Always install the factory-supplied liquid-line filter
drier. Obtain replacement filter driers from your distributor or branch.
Installation
IMPORTANT: Effective January 1, 2015, all split system and packaged
air conditioners must be installed pursuant to applicable regional
efficiency standards issued by the Department of Energy.
Specifications for this unit in residential new construction market require
the outdoor unit, indoor unit (including metering device), refrigerant
tubing sets, and filter drier, and muffler listed in pre-sale literature. There
can be no deviation. Consult the Service Manual – Air Conditioners and
Heat Pumps Using Puron Refrigerant to obtain required unit changes for
specific applications and for R-22 retrofit.
Step 1 – Check Equipment and Job Site
Unpack Unit
Move to final location. Remove carton taking care not to damage unit.
Inspect Equipment
File claim with shipping company prior to installation if shipment is
damaged or incomplete. Locate unit rating plate on unit corner panel. It
contains information needed to properly install unit. Check rating plate
to be sure unit matches job specifications.
Step 2 – Install on a Solid, Level Mounting Pad
If conditions or local codes require the unit be attached to pad, tie down
bolts should be used and fastened through knockouts provided in unit
base pan. Refer to unit mounting pattern in Fig. 2 to determine base pan
size and knockout hole location.
Fig. 2 – Tiedown Knockout Locations
For hurricane tie downs, contact distributor for details and PE
(Professional Engineer) Certification, if required.
On rooftop applications, mount on level platform or frame. Place unit
above a load-bearing wall and isolate unit and tubing set from structure.
Arrange supporting members to adequately support unit and minimize
transmission of vibration to building. Consult local codes governing
rooftop applications.
Roof mounted units exposed to winds above 5 mph may require wind
baffles. Consult the Service Manual - Residential Split System Air
Conditioners and Heat Pumps Using Puron® Refrigerant for wind baffle
construction.
NOTE: Unit must be level to within ±2° (±3/8 in./ft,±9.5 mm/m.) per
compressor manufacturer specifications.
Step 3 – Clearance Requirements
When installing, allow sufficient space for airflow clearance, wiring,
refrigerant piping, and service. Allow 24 in. (609.6 mm) clearance to
service end of unit and 48 in. (1219.2 mm) (above unit. For proper
airflow, a 6-in. (152.4 mm) clearance on 1 side of unit and 12-in. (304.8
mm) on all remaining sides must be maintained. Maintain a distance of
24 in. (609.6 mm) between units. Position so water, snow, or ice from
roof or eaves cannot fall directly on unit.
On rooftop applications, locate unit at least 6 in. (152.4 mm) above roof
surface.
Step 4 – Operating Ambient
The minimum outdoor operating ambient in cooling mode is 55°F
(12.78°C) without low ambient cooling enabled, and the maximum
outdoor operating ambient in cooling mode is 125°F (51.67°C).
CAUTION
!
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage.
If proper lineset routing techniques are not followed, variable speed
systems can be susceptible to lineset transmitted noise inside the
dwelling and, in extreme cases, tubing breakage.
