WARNING
FREEZE HAZARD
Proper safety procedures must be followed,
and proper protective clothing must be worn
when working with liquid refrigerant.
Failure to follow these procedures could
result in minor to moderate injury.
CAUTION
The refrigerant cycle is critically charged. The only acceptable method for charging the sealed system is the Weighed in Charge
Method.
The weighed in method should always be used whenever a charge is removed from a unit such as for a leak repair, compressor
replacement, or when there is no refrigerant charge left in the unit. To charge by this method, requires the following steps:
1. Install a piercing valve to remove refrigerant from the sealed system. (Piercing valve must be removed from the system
before recharging.)
2. Recover Refrigerant in accordance with EPA regulations.
3. Install a process tube to sealed system.
4. Make necessary repairs to system.
5. Evacuate the system to 1500 microns
6. Repressurize to 500 PSI with nitrogen
7. Evacuate the system to 1000 microns
8. Repressurize to 500 PSI with nitrogen
9. Evacuate the system to below 500 microns
10. Weigh in the refrigerant charge with the property quantity of R-410A refrigerant per model nameplate.
11. Start unit, and verify performance.
12. Crimp the process tube and solder the end shut.
