All installations and services must be performed by qualified personnel. A gradual loop in the tubing can be constructed to take up the excess tubing if you find that too much tubing has been brought onto a job. Such a loop MUST be kept in a horizontal (flat) plane to avoid trapping the oil. Refrigerant lines should be inserted into a suitable conduit or raceway when the lines are to be buried between the building and the outdoor condensing unit. The lines must be provided with sufficient

All installations and services must be performed by qualified personnel. Read the temperature at header assembly to calculate the superheat. Then read the suction pressure and then add the line loss of 2 lbs. for 25’ of tubing. Then convert pressure into temperature. Next, subtract the converted suction temperature from the measured coil header temperature and the end result is the superheat. EXAMPLE: o Measured Temp = 50 F (Off header assembly at 10:00 or 2:00 position) See Figur

All installations and services must be performed by qualified personnel. The following points must be checked by the installer and/or electrician before the air conditioning system is started: 1. Check every electrical connection of "PUSH-ON" or "SCREW-ON" terminals to ensure it is on tightly on its proper post. 2. Review wiring diagram for proper routing. A loose terminal will cause poor flow of electrical power and result in very high current draw. This can lead to blown fuses or b
