Unpack and inspect unit for shipping damage. Select a suitable outdoor location.
WARNING! Installation must be performed by a qualified HVAC technician in accordance with all local codes and national standards (e.g., NEC, ACCA). Handle refrigerant properly. Unit is heavy; use proper lifting techniques.
After installation, perform system startup and checkout.
CAUTION! Do not operate without proper refrigerant charge. Do not adjust service valves while unit is running.
Primary control is via the indoor thermostat. Unit has internal protection controls.
Thermostat Operation: Set to COOL, select desired temperature. Fan setting (AUTO/ON). System will cycle compressor and fan to maintain setpoint.
Internal Safeties: Includes high-pressure switch, low-pressure switch, compressor overload, and time-delay relay to protect components.
Diagnostic LED: Some models feature an LED on the control board that flashes a code to indicate status or fault conditions (refer to service manual for code chart).
This condenser must be matched with an approved American Standard indoor coil or air handler.
Tip: Mismatched systems can result in poor performance, reduced efficiency, and premature failure.
Regular maintenance ensures efficiency and longevity. Turn off power at disconnect before servicing.
WARNING! Do not use a pressure washer or harsh chemicals on the coil. Do not attempt to repair electrical or refrigerant components unless qualified.
High and Low Pressure Switches: Protect compressor from abnormal system pressures. Compressor Overload: Internal thermal protection. Crankcase Heater (if equipped): Prevents refrigerant migration and oil slugging. Time Delay Relay: Prevents short cycling of the compressor.
Disconnect power before any cleaning. Keep coil surface clean. Wash with mild detergent and water if very dirty, rinse thoroughly. Keep top grille free of debris.
CAUTION! Do not use sharp objects to clean fins. Do not operate unit without the fan grille in place.

| Symptom | Possible Cause | Corrective Action |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not start | Power off, tripped breaker, blown fuse, thermostat setting, time delay | Check disconnect and breakers. Verify thermostat is set below room temp. Wait 5 minutes for time delay. |
| Unit runs but does not cool | Dirty filter/coils, low refrigerant, faulty compressor | Check/change indoor air filter. Clean outdoor coil. Call technician to check charge. |
| Unit cycles on/off frequently (short cycles) | Dirty coil, overcharge/undercharge, restricted airflow | Clean coils, check filter and ductwork. Technician must check refrigerant charge. |
| Loud or unusual noise | Loose parts, debris in fan, failing motor or compressor | Turn off power. Check for loose panels or debris. Contact technician. |
| Ice on refrigerant lines or indoor coil | Low airflow (dirty filter/coil), low refrigerant charge | Turn system off. Let ice melt. Check/replace air filter. Call technician. |
Reset: If internal fault lockout occurs, turning power off at disconnect for 5 minutes may reset controls.
