Page 16 506636−01 Installing Indoor Metering Device This outdoor unit is designed for use in systems that use either fixed orifice or exp ansion valve metering devices at the indoor coil. If using a fixed orifice metering device, use the the one provided with the out door unit.
Page 17 XC14 SERIES IMPORT ANT The Environmental Protection Agency (EP A) prohibit s the intentional venting of HFC refrigerants during maintenance, service, repair and disposal of appliance. Approved methods of recovery , recycling or reclaiming must be followed.
Page 18 506636−01 Evacuating Line Set and Indoor Coil A Open both manifold valv es and star t the vac uum pump. B Evacuate the line set and indoor unit to an absolute pressure of 23,000 microns (29.01 inches of mercury). NOTE During the early stages of evacuation, it is desirable to close the manifold gauge valve at least once.
Page 19 XC14 SERIES IMPORT ANT Use a thermocouple or thermistor electronic vacuum gauge that is calibrated in microns. Use an instrument capable of accurately measuring down to 50 microns. W ARNING Danger of Equipm ent Damage. A void deep vacuum operation.
