Installation Requirements

Unit must be installed by a qualified HVAC technician following all local codes.

  1. Location: Install on level concrete pad or mounting brackets, with minimum clearances (24" sides, 48" front, 12" top).
  2. Electrical: Connect to dedicated circuit with proper disconnect and overcurrent protection.
  3. Refrigerant Lines: Connect pre-charged linesets, ensure proper evacuation and charging.
  4. Condensate Drain: Install per local code to proper drainage.
  5. Thermostat: Install compatible thermostat following wiring diagram.

WARNING! Installation by unqualified personnel may void warranty and create safety hazards. Disconnect all power before servicing.

First-Time Setup

After installation, perform initial system commissioning.

  1. Power up: Turn on disconnect switch; unit will enter standby mode.
  2. Thermostat configuration: Set to COOL mode, desired temperature.
  3. System check: Verify proper airflow, refrigerant charge, electrical readings.
  4. Test modes: Test COOL and FAN modes for proper operation.
  5. Customer orientation: Explain basic operation and maintenance requirements.

CAUTION! Do not operate without proper refrigerant charge. System damage may occur.

Technical Specifications

Controls and Operation

Primary control through compatible thermostat. Unit has service switch and diagnostic LED.

Thermostat Operation: Set mode (COOL, FAN, OFF), adjust temperature, set fan speed (AUTO, ON).

Diagnostic LED: Green = normal operation, Yellow = warning, Red = fault, Flashing = specific error code.

Service Switch: Located near unit for emergency shutoff.

Advanced features: Adaptive capacity control, dehumidification mode, smart recovery, filter reminder.

System Configuration

Configure via thermostat or service tool for optimal performance.

  1. Fan speed settings: Adjust for proper airflow (350-450 CFM per ton).
  2. Temperature differential: Set appropriate differential (typically 1.5-2°F).
  3. Dehumidification: Enable enhanced dehumidification in humid climates.
  4. Filter reminder: Set reminder interval (30-90 days based on usage).
  5. Communication setup: Pair with compatible thermostat if using communicating features.

Tip: Refer to thermostat manual for specific configuration steps.

Maintenance Procedures

Regular maintenance ensures efficiency and longevity.

  1. Monthly: Check and replace air filter as needed.
  2. Seasonal: Clean outdoor coil with gentle water spray (power off).
  3. Annual (by technician): Check refrigerant charge, electrical connections, capacitor, contactor.
  4. Biannual: Clean condensate drain line with approved solution.
  5. As needed: Clear debris from around unit, maintain proper clearances.

WARNING! Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance. High voltage present.
