Safety Considerations

WARNING: Before performing service or

maintenance operations on a system, turn off main

power switches to the indoor unit. If applicable,

turn off the accessory heater power switch.

Electrical shock could cause personal injury.

Installing and servicing heating and air conditioning

equipment can be hazardous due to system pressure and

electrical components. Only trained and qualified service

personnel should install, repair or service heating and air

conditioning equipment. Untrained personnel can perform

the basic maintenance functions of cleaning coils and

cleaning and replacing filters. All other operations should

be performed by trained service personnel. When working

on heating and air conditioning equipment, observe

precautions in the literature, tags and labels attached to the

unit and other safety precautions that may apply.

Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work

gloves. Use a quenching cloth for brazing operations and

have a fire extinguisher available.

Moving and Storage

Move units in the normal “up” orientation. Do not stack

units. When the equipment is received, all items should be

carefully checked against the bill of lading to be sure all

crates and cartons have been received. Examine units for

shipping damage, removing the units from the packaging

if necessary. Units in question should also be internally

inspected. If any damage is noted, the carrier should make

the proper notation on the delivery receipt, acknowledging

the damage.

Water Piping

The proper water flow must be provided to each unit

whenever the unit operates. To assure proper flow, use

pressure/temperature ports to determine the flow rate.

These ports should be located at the supply and return

water connections on the unit. The proper flow rate cannot

be accurately set without measuring the water pressure

drop through the refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger.

All source water connections on commercial units are

fittings that accept a male pipe thread (MPT). Insert the

connectors by hand, then tighten the fitting with a wrench

to provide a leakproof joint. When connecting to an open

loop (groundwater) system, thread any copper MPT fitting

into the connector and tighten in the same manner as

described above.

Refrigerant Systems

To maintain sealed circuit integrity, do not install service

gauges unless unit opertion appears abnormal. Compare

the change in temperature on the air side as well as the

water side to the Unit Operating Parameters tables. If the

unit’s performance is not within the ranges listed, and the

airflow and water flow are known to be correct, gauges

should then be installed and superheat and subcooling

numbers calculated. If superheat and subcooling are outside

recommended ranges, an adjustment to therefrigerant

charge may be necessary.
