activate the outdoor unit from an inactive mode is to cycle the 24VAC power to the outdoor unit's air conditioner

TOP GRILLE OR FAN MOTOR MOUNT ADJUSTMENT FOR FAN CLEARANCE
Sometimes during shipping, either the fan motor mounting or top grille may become out of alignment. This may cause the fan
motor blade to not clear the orifice ring. If this situation occurs, simply adjust either or both the fan motor mount or top grille
positions to allow proper clearance. The top grille four fastener insertion points to the plastic top and motor mount locations
are larger than the fasteners used to secure the grille and fan motor mounts. Use the procedures provided in figure 21 to
adjust for fan clearance.

This system uses HFC-410A refrigerant which operates at much higher pressures than HCFC-22. The pre-installed liquid
line filter drier is approved for use with HFC-410A only. Do not replace it with components designed for use with HCFC-22.
This unit is NOT approved for use with coils which use capillary tubes or fixed orifices as a refrigerant metering device.

Use the following procedure to adjust for optimal air flow across the indoor coil:
1. Determine the desired DT — Measure entering air temperature using dry bulb (A) and wet bulb (B). DT
is the intersecting value of A and B in the table (see triangle).
2. Find temperature drop across coil — Measure the coil's dry bulb entering and leaving air temperatures
(A and C). Temperature Drop Formula: (TDrop) = A minus C.
3. Determine if fan needs adjustment — If the difference between the measured TDrop and the desired
DT (TDrop–DT) is within +3º, no adjustment is needed. See example below:
Assume DT = 15 and A temp. = 72º, these C temperatures would necessitate stated actions:
Cº TDrop – DT = ºF ACTION

4. Adjust the fan speed — See indoor unit instructions to increase/decrease fan speed.
