Specifications subject to change without notice.
Step 1 — Check Equipment and Job Site
Unpack Unit
Move to final location. Remove carton taking care not to damage
unit.
Inspect Equipment
File claim with shipping company prior to installation if shipment
is damaged or incomplete. Locate unit rating plate on unit corner
panel. It contains information needed to properly install unit.
Check rating plate to be sure unit matches job specifications.
Step 2 — Install on a Solid, Level Mounting Pad
If conditions or local codes require the unit be attached to pad, tie
down bolts should be used and fastened through knockouts
provided in unit base pan. Refer to unit mounting pattern in Fig. 2
to determine base pan size and knockout hole location.
For hurricane tie downs, contact distributor for details and PE
(Professional Engineer) Certification, if required.
On rooftop applications, mount on level platform or frame. Place
unit above a load- bearing wall and isolate unit and tubing set from
structure. Arrange supporting members to adequately support unit
and minimize transmission of vibration to building. Consult local
codes governing rooftop applications.
Roof mounted units exposed to winds above 5 mph may require
wind baffles. Consult the Service Manual - Residential Split
System Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps Using R- 410A
Refrigerant for wind baffle construction.
NOTE: Unit must be level to within 2 (3/8 in./ft,9.5 mm/m.)
per compressor manufacturer specifications.
Step 3 — Clearance Requirements
When installing, allow sufficient space for airflow clearance,
wiring, refrigerant piping, and service. Allow 24 in. (609.6 mm)
clearance to service end of unit and 48 in. (1219.2 mm) (above
unit. For proper airflow, a 6- in. (152.4 mm) clearance on 1 side of
unit and 12- in. (304.8 mm) on all remaining sides must be
maintained. Maintain a distance of 24 in. (609.6 mm) between
units. Position so water, snow, or ice from roof or eaves cannot fall
directly on unit.
On rooftop applications, locate unit at least 6 in. (152.4 mm) above
roof surface.

Step 4 — Operating Ambient
The minimum outdoor operating ambient in cooling mode is 40_F
(4.4_C) with Observer
®
Wall Control, 55_F (12.8_C) with
non- communicating systems. The maximum outdoor operating
ambient in cooling mode is 115_F (46.1_C). Compressor
protections will prevent cooling mode operation below minimum
ambient temperature range. The system may operate in cooling up
to 125_F(52_C) (52C) with significant reduced capacity cutback
above 115_F (46.1_C). Refer to Product Data “Detailed Cooling
Capacity” table. Low ambient cooling operation is not currently
available. The maximum heating operation ambient is 66_F
(18.9_C). Compressor protections will prevent starting below 10_F
(- 12.2_C) and operation below 2 _F (- 16.7_C).
Step 5 — Elevate Unit
Elevate unit per local climate and code requirements to provide
clearance above estimated snowfall level and ensure adequate
drainage of unit.
CAUTION
!
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
Do not allow water and/or ice to build up in base pan.
CAUTION
!
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
Locate the unit in such a way that it is stable in all
circumstances including adverse weather conditions.
Step 6 — Make Piping Connections

WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY AND UNIT DAMAGE
HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or
death.
Relieve pressure and recover all refrigerant before system
repair or final unit disposal. Use all service ports and open all
flow- control devices, including solenoid valves.
CAUTION
!
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
Do not leave system open to atmosphere any longer than
minimum required for installation. POE oil in compressor is
extremely susceptible to moisture absorption. Always keep
ends of tubing sealed during installation.
CAUTION
!
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
If ANY refrigerant tubing is buried, provide a 6 in. (152.4
mm) vertical rise at service valve. Refrigerant tubing lengths
up to 36 in. (914.4 mm) may be buried without further
special consideration. Do not bury lines longer than 36 in.
(914.4 mm).
