    Complete Tubing and Wiring Connections
    as follows:
    Air-Cooled Tubing Connection
    One piece Air Cooled units are shipped with refrigerant
    throughout the entire tubing assemblies.
    Two and three piece Air-Cooled low side and condenser sections are shipped with a Nitrogen holding charge. All
    service valves are shipped in an open position. Additional
    interconnecting tubes (approx. 15-20” in length) will be
    supplied with the unit.
    Note: Field charging of 2 and 3 piece air-cooled units is
    REQUIRED.
    To prepare the two or three piece sections for joining install pressure gauges to the appropriate access valve(s)
    to verify nitrogen charge is present.
    1. Relieve the pressure before attempting to unsweat the “seal” caps.
    2. Remove the brackets which support the suction tubes (retain for possible use later for unit reassembly) after
    the tubing connections are complete.
    3. Place wet rags on the flow/ ball valve on the high side when
     suction tubes are being brazed. Note:
    Additional
     care should be taken when brazing near
    the wire bundle.
    4. Sweat the copper caps off both the high and low side of
     the suction and liquid lines of both circuits. If present
    also sweat off the copper caps from hot gas bypass or
    hot gas reheat lines.
    5. Clean the joints of weld puddles to avoid insertion problems.
    6. Cut the appropriate interconnecting tube to a length appro
     ximately 0.75- 1 more than the distance
    between the two tubes.
    7. Insert the appropriate tube to the complete depth of the bell
     on one side of the joint and align the other
    side(prying the high side may be needed). Make sure
    the insertion depth is met.
    8. Complete the connections by brazing the tubes in place.
    Note: R
    efrigeration ball valves are intended for general
    service and are not a positive shutoff device.
    9. Once all connections have been brazed, evacuate the entire
     system. The recommended method for
    evacuation and dehydration is to evacuate the system
    to 500 microns or less.To establish that the unit is leak-
    free, use a standing vacuum test. The maximum
    allowable rise over a 15 minute period is 200 microns.
    Figure 37. Charge evacuation diagram - evaporative condensers 
    						
    							Installation
    62RT-SVX24K-EN
    If the rise exceeds this, there is either still moisture in
    the system or a leak is present.
    10. Charge the system per the unit nameplate field c
     harge.Do not add refrigerant in the suction line at this
    time to prevent excessive refrigerant in the low side
    prior to compressor startup.
    11. At the liquid line angle valve add as much R-410A LIQ
     UID as possible. Depending on conditions, it could
    not be possible to add more than 60% of the field
    charge. This will be adequate for compressor
    startup.More charge will be added after compressors
    are started. Use an accurate scale to measure and
    record the preliminary amount of R-410A added to
    each circuit.
    12. With all the circuit compressors operating, SLOWLY meter
     R410-A into the suction line from the LIQUID
    charging connection.
    Evaporative Condenser Tubing Connection
    Important: For units with electric heat, complete tubing
    connections AFTER completing wiring
    connections. See “Electric Heat Wiring
    Connection” on page 63 section.
    Important: Complete tubing connections BEFORE
    Power and Control wiring connections. See
    “Power and Control Wiring Connections”
    on page 63section.
    There will be a N
    2nitrogen charge in the air handler
    section. This holding charge should be relieved prior to
    removing the caps.
    The condenser section will ship with R-410A throughout the entire tubing assemblies. The service valves will be
    shipped in an open position. Additional interconnecting
    tubes (approx. 15-20 in length) will be supplied with the
    unit.
    1. To prepare the condensing section for the joining of the two sections, the discharge and liquid line service
    valves should be shut and the refrigerant remaining
    between the valves and the end caps should be
    transferred/recovered.
    2. If the unit has been purchased with hot gas bypass or hot
     gas reheat options, those valves should be shut as
    well and the refrigerant transferred/recovered from the
    sections between the valves and the end caps.
    3. Remove the brackets which support the suction tubes (retain
     for possible use later for unit reassembly) after
    the tubing connections are complete.
    4. Relieve the pressure (charge) for the section of the tubing
     being worked on.
    5. Place wet rags on the flow/ ball valve on the high side when
     suction tubes are being brazed.
    Note: Additional
     care should be taken when brazing near
    the wire bundle. 6. Sweat the copper caps off both the high and low side
    of
     the suction and liquid lines of both circuits.
    7. Clean the joints of weld puddles to avoid insertion problems.
    8. Cut the appropriate interconnecting tube to a length appro
     ximately 0.75- 1 more than the distance
    between the two tubes.
    9. Insert the appropriate tube to the complete depth of the bell
     on one side of the joint and align the other side
    (prying the high side may be needed). Make sure the
    insertion depth is met.
    10. Complete the connections by brazing the tubes in place.
    Note: R
    efrigeration ball valves are intended for general
    service and are not a positive shutoff device.
    11. Once all connections have been brazed, evacuate the low
     side. The low side may be evacuated by the
    schrader ports on the discharge line just past the
    compressor and the liquid line below the sight glass.
    See Figure 37, p.61.
    The recommended method for evacuation and
    dehydration is to evacuate the low side to 500 microns
    or less. To establish that the unit is leak-free, use a
    standing vacuum test. The maximum allowable rise
    over a 15 minute period is 200 microns. If the rise
    exceeds this, there is either still moisture in the system
    or a leak is present.
    Note: Only after evacuation should the tagged valves be
    opened.
    WARNING
    Hazard of Explosion and Deadly Gases!
    Never solder, braze or weld on refrigerant lines or any
    unit components that are above atmospheric pressure
    or where refrigerant may be present. Always remove
    refrigerant by following the guidelines established by
    the EPA Federal Clean Air Act or other state or local
    codes as appropriate. After refrigerant removal, use dry
    nitrogen to bring system back to atmospheric pressure
    before opening system for repairs. Mixtures of
    refrigerants and air under pressure may become
    combustible in the presence of an ignition source
    leading to an explosion. Excessive heat from soldering,
    brazing or welding with refrigerant vapors present can
    form highly toxic gases and extremely corrosive acids.
    Failure to follow all proper safe refrigerant handling
    practices could result in death or serious injury.

     Field supplied pneumatic tubing connected to the proper
     fitting on the space pressure transducer located
    in the filter section, and the other end routed to a
    suitable sensing location within the controlled space.
    Condensate Drain Connections
    Each unit provides two 1-1/4 evaporator drain
    connections on each side of the unit.
    Due to the size of these units, all condensate drain
    connections must be connected to the evaporator drain 
    						
    							Installation
    66RT-SVX24K-EN
    connections. Refer to Detail A inFigure 12, p. 25for the
    location of these drain connections.
    A condensate trap must be installed due to the drain connection being on the “negative pressure” side of the
    fan. Install the P-Traps at the unit using the guidelines in
    Figure 41.
    Pitch the drain lines at least 1/2 inch for every 10 feet of
    horizontal run to assure proper condensate flow. Do not
    allow the horizontal run to sag causing a possible double-
    trap condition which could result in condensate backup
    due to “air lock”.
    Units with Gas Furnace
    Units equipped with a gas furnace have a 3/4 CPVC drain
    connection stubbed out through the vertical support in the
    gas heat section. It is extremely important that the
    condensate be piped to a proper drain. Refer to the
    appropriate illustration in Figure 49, p. 73for the location
    of the drain connection.
    Note: Units equipped with an optional modulating gas
    furnace will likely operate in a condensing mode
    part of the time.
    Ensure that all condensate drain line installations comply
    with applicable building and waste disposal codes.
    Note: Installation on gas heat units will require addition
    of heat tape to the condensate drain.
    Removing Compressor Assembly
    Shipping Hardware
    Each manifolded compressor assembly is rigidly bolted to
    a mounting rail assembly. The rail assembly is set on six
    (6) rubber isolators.The assembly is held in place by six (6)
    shipping “Tiedown” bolts. To remove the shipping
    hardware, follow the procedures below:
    1. Remove the bolt in each rubber isolator and the slotted
    shipping spacer located between the compressor rails
    and the unit base rail illustrated in Figure 43, p. 67.
    Reinstall the bolts at the same location by screwing
    them into the base rail two to three turns only.
    2. Ensure that the compressor rail assembly is free to move on the rubber isolator.
    Removing Supply and Exhaust Fan
    Shipping Channels
    Each supply fan assembly and exhaust fan assembly is
    equipped with spring isolators. Shipping channels are
    installed beneath each fan assembly and must be
    removed. To locate and remove these channels, refer to
    Figure 42, p. 67 and use the following procedures.
    Spring Isolators
    Spring isolators for the supply and/or exhaust fan are
    shipped with the isolator adjusting bolt backed out. Field
    adjustment is required for proper operation. Figure 42,
    p. 67 shows isolator locations. To adjust the spring
    isolators use the following procedure.
    1. Remove and discard the shipping tie down bolts but leave the shipping channels in place during the
    adjustment procedure. See Figure 42, p. 67.
    2. Tighten the leveling bolt on each isolator until the fan assembly
     is approximately 1/4 above each shipping
    channel.
    3. Secure the lock nut on each isolator.
    4. Remove the shipping channels and discard.
    Remove Evaporative Condenser Fan

    O/A Sensor and Tubing Installation
    An Outside Air Pressure Sensor is shipped with all units
    designed to operate on variable air volume applications or
    constant volume units with 100% modulating exhaust w/
    Statitrac.
    On VAV systems, a duct pressure transducer and the
    outside air sensor is used to control the discharge duct
    static pressure to within a customer-specified parameter.
    On CV & VAV units equipped with 100% modulating
    exhaust w/Statitrac, a space pressure transducer and the
    outside air sensor is used to control the exhaust fan and
    dampers to relieve static pressure, to within a customer-
    specified parameter, within the controlled space. Refer to
    Figure 44, p. 68 and the following steps to install the
    sensor and the pneumatic tubing.
    1. Remove the O/A pressure sensor kit located inside the “ship with” item container. The kit contains thefollowing items:
    a. O/A static pressure sensor with slotted mounting bracket
    b. 50 ft. 0.188 in tubing
    c. Mounting hardware
    2. Remove the two roof cap screws and install the provided L mounting bracket as shown in the figure. 3. Place the sensor mounting slotted bracket to the L
    mounting
     bracket with the slot located to the top.
    4. Install the sensor vertically to the slotted bracket and secure
     it with provided bolt and nut.
    5. Connect one end of factory provided tubing to the top por
     t of sensor and pass it through the two slots in the
    mount and the other end to the port in the base.
    6. Secure the tubing with the mounting hardware located in
     the ship with item container.

    Evaporative-Cooled Condenser Make-up
    Water and Drain Line Installation
    Make-up Water and Drain Lines
    Water Supply Source
    The supply line should be designed to provide a minimum supply
     of water within customary domestic supply
    pressures, 35 to 60 psig; dynamic pressure (measured
    with the valve open) which will allow approximately 30
    GPM to enter the sump through the makeup water valve,
    when the sump is empty. The unit uses about 2-4 GPM.
    Attach a hand valve at the inlet for use during inspection and maintenance; an inlet strainer is recommended as
    well. Make-up water inlet connection is a ¾ PVC slip
    connector. Care must be taken to ensure the water line
    upstream of the water solenoid valve will not freeze.
    Insulating the line and utilizing heat tape is recommended
    if ambient temperatures below 32° F are expected.
    Water Quality Overall performance of any water-cooled device can be
    af
     fected by suspended particulates, mineral
    concentration, trash and debris resulting in clogging and
    heat transfer loss. The evaporative-cooled condenser is
    designed to greatly minimize problems with these
    impurities.
    However, float valves and solenoid valves are used to
    control the incoming water. If the incoming water contains
    contaminants, sand or other objects, an incoming line
    strainer with a 80 to 100 mesh screen is required.The inlet line should be flushed prior to connection to the unit,
    whether or not there is a strainer.
    Note:
    Backflow preventer is field installed and should
    only be installed by qualified personnel .
    Water Drain Schedule 80 PVC pipe of 1¼ is normally adequate for sump water drain. Periodically, the sump is
    emptied and flushed to eliminate accumulated dirt, debris,
    and minerals. Concentration of these foreign substances
    will increase as the system operates.
    The evaporative process releases essentially pure water vapor into the atmosphere, leaving the impurities behind
    that accumulate in the sump. Although these impurities
    are present in the original make-up water, their
    concentration will be higher in the sump discharge. Care
    and judgment should be exercised when selecting a
    discharge site.
    Local Site Discharge
    Rooftop or simple storm sewer discharge is generally
    acceptable.
     Do not routinely direct the sump discharge
    onto an area where these higher concentrations will
    adversely affect that area, i.e. continued sump discharge
    into a flower bed for example, where the input water
    contains CaCO3 (lime) will eventually decrease the pH of
    the soil.
    Sewer Discharge
    The quantities of mineral and debris flushed are actually very small, and do not cause problems when diluted in
    normal sewer flow. However, local, state or federal
    standards and restrictions must be followed in any given
    locality.

    							Installation
    70RT-SVX24K-EN
    Make Up Water Solenoid Valve
    This valve is controlled by the UCM based on water level in
     the sump, as well as whether a call for mechanical
    cooling exists. During low ambient temperatures, the
    solenoid valve will be de-energized preventing water from
    further filling sump.The sump drain valve opens to empty
    sump of water. Operation can be extended to 10 deg by
    providing an optional sump heater.
    Drain Valve
    The drain valve is shipped to “drain during power loss conditions”.
     If “hold during power loss conditions” is
    desired, refer to “Evaporative Condenser Drain Valve
    Setup” on page 100
    Gas Heat Units
    All internal gas piping is factory-installed and pressure leak-tested before shipment. Once the unit is set into
    place, the gas supply line must be field-connected to the
    elbow located inside the gas heat control compartments.
    Access holes are provided on the unit as illustrated in Figure 49, p. 73 to accommodate a side or bottom pipe
    entry. Following the guidelines listed below will enhance
    both the installation and operation of the furnace.
    Note: In the absence of local codes, the installation must
    conform with the American National Standard
    Z223-1a of the National Fuel Gas Code, (latest
    edition).
    3. To assure sufficient gas pressure at the unit, use Table 16, p.71as a guide to determine the appropriate
    gas pipe size for the unit heating capacity listed on the
    unit
     nameplate.
    4. If a gas line already exists, verify that it is sized large enough
     to handle the additional furnace capacity
    before connecting to it. 5. Take all branch piping from any main gas line from the
    top
     at 90 degrees or at 45 degrees to prevent moisture
    from being drawn in with the gas.
    6. Ensure that all piping connections are adequately coated
     with joint sealant and properly tightened. Use a
    piping compound that is resistant to liquid petroleum
    gases.
    7. Provide a drip leg near the unit.
    8. Install a pressure regulator at the unit that is adequate to
     maintain 7 w.c. for natural gas while the furnace is
    operating at full capacity.
    Note: Gas
     pressure in excess of 14 w.c. or 0.5 psig will
    damage the gas train.
    Failure to use a pressure regulating device will result in
    incorrect gas pressure. This can cause erratic operation
    due to gas pressure fluctuations as well as damage the gas
    valve. Over sizing the regulator will cause irregular
    pulsating flame patterns, burner rumble, potential flame
    outages, and possible gas valve damage.
    If a single pressure regulator serves more than one rooftop
    unit, it must be sized to ensure that the inlet gas pressure
    does not fall below 7 w.c. with all the furnaces operating
    at full capacity.The gas pressure must not exceed 14 w.c.
    when the furnaces are off.
    9. Provide adequate support for all field installed gas piping
     to avoid stressing the gas train and controls.
    10. Leak test the gas supply line using a soap-and-water solution
     or equivalent before connecting it to the gas
    train.
    11. Check the supply pressure before connecting it to the unit
     to prevent possible gas valve damage and the
    unsafe operating conditions that will result.
    Note: Do
    not rely on the gas train shutoff valves to isolate
    the unit while conducting gas pressure/leak test.
    These valves are not designed to withstand pressures in excess of 14 w.c. or 0.5 psig.
    Connecting the Gas Supply Line to the
    Furnace Gas Train
    Follow the steps below to complete the installation
    between the supply gas line and the furnace. Refer to
    Figure 46, p. 71 ,Figure 47, p. 72 for the appropriate gas
    train configuration.
    1. Connect the supply gas piping using a “ground-joint” type union to the furnace gas train and check for leaks.
    2. Adjust the inlet supply pressure to the recommended 7
     to 14 w.c. parameter for natural gas
    3. Ensure that the piping is adequately supported to av
     oid gas train stress.
    4. If the through the base gas opening is used, seal off around
     the pipe and the 3 water dam. If the through
    the base gas opening is not used, the 3 opening
    should be sealed shut to prevent indoor air leakage.
    WARNING
    Hazardous Gases and Flammable Vapors!
    Exposure to hazardous gases from fuel substances
    have been shown to cause cancer, birth defects or other
    reproductive harm. Improper installation, adjustment,
    alteration, service or use of this product could cause
    flammable mixtures and result in a fire. To avoid
    hazardous gases and flammable vapors follow proper
    installation and set up of this product and all warnings
    as provided in this manual. Failure to follow all
    instructions could result in death or serious injury.
    When using dry nitrogen cylinders for pressurizing units for leak testing, always provide a pressure
    regulator on the cylinder to prevent excessively high
    unit pressures. Never pressurize unit above the
    maximum recommended unit test pressure as specified
    in applicable unit literature. Failure to properly regulate
    pressure could result in a violent explosion, which
    could result in death or serious injury or equipment or
    property-only-damage.
