Service Literature

10ACC SERIES UNITS

The 10ACC is a residential split-system condensing
unit available in sizes ranging from 1-1/2 to 5 tons. Con-
densing coil size, circuiting and air volume result in a
minimum SEER rating of 10.0. The series is designed
for use with an expansion valve or RFCIV system in the
indoor unit.

10ACC 1-1/2 to 3 ton units are equipped with reciprocating

compressors. All compressors are hermetically sealed for
long service life. The compressor is installed in the unit on re-
silient rubber mounts to assure quiet, vibration-free operation.
A built-in protection device assures protection from excessive
current and temperatures.

10ACC 3-1/2 to 5 ton units are equipped with scroll com-
pressors. The scroll operates like a standard compressor but
it is unique in the way it compresses refrigerant.

WARNING

Refrigerant can be harmful if it is inhaled. Refriger-

ant must be used and recovered responsibly.
Failure to follow this warning may result in person-

al injury or death.

WARNING

Electric shock hazard. Can cause injury

or death. Before attempting to perform

any service or maintenance, turn the

electrical power to unit OFF at discon-

nect switch(es). Unit may have multiple

power supplies.

This manual is divided into sections which discuss the
major components, refrigerant system, charging proce-
dure, maintenance and operation sequence.

All specifications in this manual are subject to change.

IMPORTANT

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, ser-

vice or maintenance can cause property damage,

personal injury or loss of life. Installation and ser-

vice must be performed by a qualified installer or

service agency
