Model: Affinity™ YXV air conditioner

Footprint (in inches): 3-ton unit: 36 (length) by 32 (width) by 40 (height)

Serviceability features: Built-in Charge Assurance™ monitoring provides a direct readout of high- and low-system pressures and suction and liquid line temperatures while also calculating system superheat and system subcooling. This information is available without ever adding a manifold gauge set or temperature gauge — simply remove two screws to expose the capacitive touchscreen display. Charge Assurance helps ensure the system is properly optimized for faster installation and service and helps maximize the system’s service life.

Technical support: Support is available through the distributor where the product was purchased. Technical information is available on UPGnet, including product-specific, self-directed training. Technical support can also be obtained by a certified contractor 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central time, Monday to Friday, at 877-874-7378.

Technical support materials: Wiring diagrams; installation, operation, and maintenance manuals; a parts list; a troubleshooting guide; specification sheets; an owner’s manual; and submittal data sheets are available. Self-directed online training is also available.

Noise-reduction features: This unit features an innovative QuietDrive™ sound-reduction system that includes a swept-wing fan, composite base pan, flat-wire grille guard, and sound-containment cloak that reduces sound levels to no more than a typical residential dishwasher.

IAQ equipment supported: The Wi-Fi-enabled Affinity Hx touch-screen thermostat and variable-capacity system are designed to seamlessly interface with the various optional field-installed and system-matched humidifiers, dehumidifiers, germ-killing UVC lighting, and high-efficiency MERV-16 air filtration to provide multiple system options to address specific IAQ challenges. The variable-capacity nature of the product allows it to be fine-tuned using the ClimateSet™ feature to address specific humidity challenges that can adversely impact IAQ.

Thermostat compatibility: The unit requires the Wi-Fi-enabled Affinity Hx touch-screen communicating thermostat.

Replacement parts compatibility: The system is compatible with some shared replacement parts and some unique parts.

Additional features: The system features variable capacity for more consistent comfort, exclusive Charge Assurance charge monitoring, ClimateSet preconfigured operating profiles, QuietDrive sound-reduction technology, and the Wi-Fi-enabled Affinity Hx touch-screen thermostat.

Warranty information: Limited one-year labor, lifetime compressor, and 10-year parts warranties are available on registered products.

Special installation requirements: The outdoor unit must be installed as a complete system, which includes the YXV outdoor unit. If using an Affinity gas furnace, a CM coil with a factory-mounted electronic expansion valve (EEV) is required. If using an air handler, it must be matched with the AVV Affinity variable-speed communicating air handler with factory-mounted EEV. Either system combination must be controlled by the Wi-Fi-enabled Affinity Hx touch-screen thermostat.
