STEP 6 - Adjust refrigerant level to attain
proper gage pressure.

Add refrigerant if the Liquid Gage Pressure

is lower than the chart value.

1. Connect gages to refrigerant bottle

and unit as illustrated.
2. Purge all hoses.
3. Open bottle.
4. Stop adding refrigerant when liquid
line temperature and Liquid Gage
Pressure matches the charging chart
Final Subcooling value.

Recover refrigerant if the Liquid Gage Pres-

sure is higher than the chart value.

STEP 7 - Stabilize the system.

1. Wait 20 minutes for the system condi-

tion to stabilize between adjustments.
Note: When the Liquid Line Temperature and
Gage Pressure approximately match the chart,
20 MIN.
the system is properly charged.

2. Remove gages.
3. Replace service port caps to prevent
leaks. Tighten finger tight plus an ad-
ditional 1/6 turn.

STEP 8 - Verify typical performance. (Example PRESSURE

Section 15. Checkout Procedures and Troubleshooting

15.1 Operational And Checkout Procedures

Final phases of this installation are the unit Operational and Checkout Procedures. To obtain proper performance, all units
must be operated and charge adjustments made.

Important: Perform a final unit inspection to be sure that factory tubing has not shifted during shipment. Adjust tubing if nec-
essary so tubes do not rub against each other when the unit runs. Also be sure that wiring connections are tight and properly
secured.

CHECKOUT PROCEDURE
After installation has been completed, it is recommended that the entire system be checked against the following list:

1. Leak check refrigerant lines. ......................................... [ ] 7. Be sure that indoor coil drain line drains freely. Pour water
2. Properly insulate suction lines and fittings..................... [ ] into drain pan................................................................. [ ]

3. Properly secure and isolate all refrigerant lines............. [ ] 8. Be sure that supply registers and return grilles are open
and unobstructed........................................................... [ ]
4. Seal passages through masonry.
If mortar is used, prevent mortar from coming 9. Be sure that a return air filter is installed....................... [ ]
into direct contact with copper tubing............................ [ ] 10. Be sure that the correct airflow setting is used.
5. Verify that all electrical connections are tight................. [ ] (Indoor blower motor).................................................... [ ]

6. Observe outdoor fan during on cycle for clearance 11. Operate complete system in each mode to
and smooth operation.................................................... [ ] ensure safe operation.................................................... [ ]
