5.0 SYSTEM START-UP & REFRIGERANT CHARGING
Start-UpAirow
5.1 System Start-Up
Overview
Once the system hardware and wiring has been
properly installed, the next step is to start the
system up, verify indoor air-flow, and adjust the
refrigerant charge. To assure optimum comfort,
efficiency, and reliability, it is extremely important
to follow the procedures in this section to assure
the indoor air-flow and refrigerant charge are
correct.
WARNING: Single-pole contactors
are used on all standard single-phase units

5.2 Initial System
Power-Up
After all installation steps have been completed,
apply electrical power to the indoor and outdoor
unit only until the indoor air-flow is verified (See
Section 5.3).
After the indoor air-flow has been verified and the
preliminary refrigerant charge has been weighed
in (see section 5.4.2), electrical power may be
applied to the outdoor unit. If the unit is equipped
with a crankcase heater, it is recommended to wait
at least 12 hours after electrical power is applied
to the outdoor unit before starting the compressor
to assure any liquid refrigerant inside the
compressor has been driven out by the crankcase
heater.

Air-Flow
The air distribution system has the greatest effect
