Features & Benefits
UA17 Series
The outdoor fan motor has sleeve bearings and is inherently
protected. The motor is totally enclosed for maximum protection
from weather, dust and corrosion. ( ) Access to the outdoor fan
is made by removing four fasteners from the fan grille. The out-
door fan can be removed from the fan grille by removing 4 fas-
teners in the rare case outdoor fan motor fails.
Each cabinet has optimized composite ( ) fan orifice assuring
efficient and quiet airflow.
The entire cabinet has post powder paint ( ) achieving 1000
hour salt spray rating, allowing the cabinet to retain its aesthetics
throughout its life.
Two Stage Copeland Scroll
™
UltraTech
™
compressors with
standard internal pressure relief and internal thermal overload are
used on all capacities assuring longevity of high efficient and quiet
operation for the life of the product.
All models come standard with high and low pressure controls.
Each unit is shipped with filter drier for field installation and will
trap any moisture or dirt that could contaminate the refrigerant
system.
All cabinets have industry leading structural strength due to the
composite base pan
()
, interlocking corner post ( )
, formed
curved louver panels ( ) and drawn top cover ( ) making it
the most durable cabinet on the market today.
Each UA17 capacity has undergone rigorous psychometric test-
ing to assure performance ratings of capacity, SEER
and EER per AHRI Standard 210/240 rating condi-
tions. Also each unit bears the UL mark and each unit
is certified to UL 1995 safety standards.
Each unit has undergone specific strain and modal testing to
assure tubing
()
is outside the units natural frequency and that
the suction and discharge lines connected to the compressor
withstand any starting, steady state operation, or shut down
forces imposed by the compressor.
All units have been sound tested in sound chamber to AHRI 270
rating conditions, and A-weighted Sound Power Level tables
produced, assuring units have acceptable noise qualities (see
page 10). Each unit has been ran in cooling operation at 95°F
and 82°F and sound ratings for the UA17 range from as low as
72.3 dBA to 76.7 dBA.
All units have been ship tested to assure units meet stringent
“over the road” shipping conditions.
As manufactured, all units in the UA17 family have cooling capa-
bility to 55 °F. Addition of low ambient control will allow the unit
to operate down to 0°F. Factory testing is performed on each
unit. All component parts meet well defined specification and
continually go through receiving inspections. Each component
installed on a unit is scanned, assuring correct component uti-
lization for a given unit capacity and voltage. All condenser coils
are leak tested with pressurization test to 550#’s and once
installed and assembled, each units’ complete refrigerant
system is helium leak tested. All units are fully charged from the
factory for up to 15 feet of piping. All units are factory run tested.
The UA17 has a 10-year conditional unit replacement warranty
(registration required) and a 10 year limited parts warranty.
Optional Accessories
(Refer to accessory chart for model #)
Compressor Crankcase Heater
Protects against refrigerant migration that can occur during low
ambient operation
Compressor Sound Cover
• Reinforced vinyl compressor cover containing a 1½ inch thick
batt of fiberglass insulation
• Open edges are sealed with a one-inch wide hook and loop
fastening tape
Compressor Hard Start Kit
• Single-phase units are equipped with a PSC compressor
motor, this type of motor normally does not need a potential
relay and start capacitor
• Kit may be required to increase the compressor starting
torque, in conditions such as low voltage
Low Ambient Kit
• Air conditioners operate satisfactorily in the cooling mode
down to 55°F outdoor air temperature without any additional
controls
• This Kit can be added in the field enabling unit to operate
properly down to 0° in the cooling mode
• Crankcase heater and freezestat should be installed on com-
pressors equipped with a low ambient kit
3"/6"/12"
• Gray high density polyethylene feet are available to raise unit
off of mounting surface away from moisture
Decorative Top
• Can be installed on fan grille
