INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Additional Refrigerant Charging
• Charge the additional refrigerant as liquid using a digital refrigerant scale and manifold gauges.
• Charge the system in trail mode. Compressor failure can occur if the system runs for a prolonged period of time while
undercharged.
• Charging must be complete within a 30 minute period.
• The unit is only partially charged from the factory and will need additional refrigerant. Refer to the report generated by
the system design software. W1: Refrigerant charging volume to outdoor unit at factory.
• W2: Refrigerant charging volume to liquid pipe base on different piping length calculation. W2=actual length of liquid
pipe×additional amount per ft liquid pipe=
• (L1×3.76)+(L2×2.69)+(L3×1.83)+(L4×1.18)+(L5×0.58)+(L6×0.24) L1:Total length of 7/8 (22.22) liquid pipe; L2:Total length
of 3/4(19.05) liquid pipe; L3:Total length of 5/8(15.88) liquid pipe; L4:Total length of 1/2(12.7) liquid pipe; L5:Total length
of 3/8(9.52) liquid pipe; L6:Total length of 1/4(6.35) liquid pipe

NOTE:
• Do not use manifold gages and hoses that were used on equipment with oil other than PVE. Cross contamination can
occur.
• Refrigerant R410A is identified by a pink tank color or label.
• Charging cylinders cannot be used because R410A refrigerant will fractionate.
• Always charge R410A refrigerant using liquid.
• Write the final charge weight on the unit near the name plate for future reference.
This product contains fluorinated greenhouse gasses and its functioning relies upon such gasses.
