1 Check the airflow as illustrated in figure20 to be sure the indoor airflow is as required.
(Make any air flow adjustments before continuing with the following procedure.)
2 Measure outdoor ambient temperature; determine whether to use cooling mode or
heating mode to check charge.
3 Connect gauge set.
4 Check Liquid and Vapor line pressures. Compare pressures with Normal Operating
Pressures table 5, (Table 5 is a general guide. Expect minor pressure variations.
Significant differences may mean improper charge or other system problem.)
5 Set thermostat for heat/cool demand, depending on mode being used:
Using cooling modeWhen the outdoor ambient temperature is 60°F (15°C) and above.
Target subcooling values in table below are based on 70 to 80°F (21−27°C) indoor return
air temperature; if necessary, operate heating to reach that temperature range; then set
thermostat to cooling mode setpoint to 68ºF (20ºC). When pressures have stabilized,
continue with step 6.
Using heating modeWhen the outdoor ambient temperature is below 60°F (15°C).
Target subcooling values in table below are based on 65−75°F (18−24°C) indoor return air
temperature; if necessary, operate cooling to reach that temperature range; then set
thermostat to heating mode setpoint to 77ºF (25ºC). When pressures have stabilized,
continue with step 6.
6 Read the liquid line temperature; record in the LIQº space.
7 Read the liquid line pressure; then find its corresponding temperature in the temperature/
pressure chart listed on page 20 and record it in the SATº space.
8 Subtract LIQº temp. from SATº temp. to determine subcooling; record it in SCº space.
9 Compare SCº results with table below, being sure to note any additional charge for line
set and/or match−up.
10 If subcooling value is greater than shown in table, remove refrigerant; if less than shown,
add refrigerant.
11 If refrigerant is added or removed, repeat steps 5 through 10 to verify charge.
