SETUP FOR CHARGING
Connect the manifold gauge set to the unit's service ports
(see figure 17):
low pressure gauge to vapor service port
high pressure gauge to liquid service port
Close manifold gauge set valves. Connect the center man-
ifold hose to an upright cylinder of HFC-410A,
CALCULATING CHARGE
If the system is void of refrigerant, first, locate and repair
any leaks and then weigh in the refrigerant charge into the
unit, To calculate the total refrigerant charge:

Step 1. Determine the desired DT--Measure entering air tempera-
ture using dry bulb (A) and wet bulb (B) DT is the intersecting value of
A and B in the table (see triangle).
Step 2. Find temperature drop across coil--Measure the coil's dry
bulb entering and leaving air temperatures (A and C). Temperature
Drop Formula: (TDrop) = A minus C.
Step 3. Determine if fan needs adjustment--If the difference be-
tween the measured TDrop and the desired ])T (TDropiDT) is within
+3°, no adjustment is needed, See examples: Assume ])T = 15 and A
temp. = 72 °, these C temperatures would necessitate stated actions:
C° TDrop- DT = °F ACTION
53° 19 - 15 = 4 Increase the airflow
58° 14 - 15 = -1 (within +3 ° range) no change
62° 10 - 15 = -5 Decrease the airflow
Step 4. Adjust the fan speed--See indoor unit instructions to in-
crease/decrease fan speed
Changing air flow affects all temperatures; recheck temperatures to
confirm that the temperature drop and DT are within +3o
