6 − Set the thermostat for a cooling demand, turn on power
to indoor blower unit and close the outdoor unit discon-
nect to start the unit.
7 − Recheck voltage while the unit is running. Power must
be within range shown on the nameplate.
Charging
This system is charged with R410A refrigerant which oper-
ates at much higher pressures than R22. The recom-
mended check expansion valve is approved for use with
R410A. Do not replace it with a valve that is designed to be
used with R22. This unit is NOT approved for use with coils
that include metering orifices or capillary tubes.
Processing Procedure
The unit is factory−charged with the amount of R410A re-
frigerant indicated on the unit rating plate. This charge is
based on a matching indoor coil and outdoor coil with a 15
foot (4.6 m) line set. For varying lengths of line set, refer to
table 2 for refrigerant charge adjustment. A blank space is
provided on the unit rating plate to list the actual field
charge.

*If line length is greater than 15 ft. (4.6 m), add this amount.
If line length is less than 15 ft. (4.6 m), subtract this amount.
IMPORTANT
Mineral oils are not compatible with R410A. If oil
must be added, it must be a polyol ester oil.
