(DANGER) This Identifies serious hazards which will result in severe personal injury and/or death.
(CAUTION) This Identifies unsafe practices which would result in minor personal injury and/or product and property damage.
(NOTE) This is used to highlight suggestions which will result in enhanced installation, reliability, or operation.
IMPORTANT: This is used to designate points of interest to be considered before, during, and after installation.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
(CAUTION) Improper adjustment, alteration, installation, service, maintenance, and/or use can cause explosion, fire, electrical
shock, and/or other conditions which may cause death, personal injury, and/or property damage.
Consult a qualified installer, service agency, or your distributor for more information, or assistance. The qualified installer or
agency must use factory-authorized kits or accessories when modifying this product. Refer to the individual instructions
packaged with the kits or accessories when installing.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses, protective clothing, and work gloves.
Use a quenching cloth for brazing operations to protect system components, i.e. service valves, etc.
Have a fire extinguisher available.
Read these instructions thoroughly and follow all cautions or warnings included in the provided literature and attached to the
Acadia outdoor unit. Consult local building codes and National Electrical Code (NEC) and/or local codes for special
requirements.
INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Position the Acadia outdoor unit AWAY from decks, patios, windows, etc. where the operational sounds may disturb the
customer. Ensure the Acadia outdoor unit is not placed under or near eaves, roof drains, or under roof pitches where ice, rain,
or snow may drop, where icicles may form, or any other debris may fall on top of and/or damage the unit.
Ensure the liquid and vapor tube diameters are appropriate for the capacity of the system and both the liquid line and the vapor
line are insulated separate. The Acadia system utili
liquid line at lower ambient temperatures, so the tubing must be insulated properly. Additional insulation may be required. A
Run the refrigerant tubes as directly as possible by avoiding unnecessary turns and bends, keeping the tubes the shortest length
possible to reduce the refrigerant charge amount and increase efficiency.
When passing refrigerant tubes through a wall, seal the opening with a sealing material such as RTV or other pliable silicon-
based caulk around the refrigerant lines where they penetrate to reduce vibration and to retain flexibility.
Install the filter drier inside at the indoor air handler and it should be insulated. This minimizes thermal losses on the liquid line
and increases system efficiency.
Install an oil trap on the bottom of the vapor line, and one for every 10-ft. (3.04-m.) of vertical rise. Consult Hallowell
International Technical Support for more information.
