FIELD WORK INSTRUCTIONS
Johnson Controls’ air conditioners are designed and manufactured based on using specied
refrigerants. The applicable refrigerants are specied for each unit’s models.
Using any refrigerants besides the specied refrigerants may cause mechanical problems,
malfunction, and failure, and in the worst case, it endangers safety seriously and may cause a
re or an explosion.
Therefore, Do not charge non-specied refrigerants or any of the following in the refrigerant
system of a unit.
* Hydrocarbon Refrigerants such as Propane
* Oxygen, or Flammable Gases such as Acetylene
* Poisonous Gases
The types of refrigerants are indicated in the Installation and Maintenance Manuals, Engineering
Manuals, Service Manuals, and the specication label for each unit. Be aware that Johnson
Controls does not take any responsibility for unit failure, malfunction, or any accidents
caused by charging non-specied refrigerants or others as noted above.
