USER INFORMATION  
ABOUT THE HEAT PUMP  
minutes following a previous operation or the  
interruption of the main electrical power.  
Your heat pump is a unique, all weather comfort-  
control appliance that will heat and cool your  
home year round and provide energy saving  
comfort. It’s an unknown fact that heat is always  
in the air, even when the outside temperature is  
below freezing. The heat pump uses this basic  
law of physics to provide energy saving heat  
during the winter months. For example, If the  
outdoor temperature is 47° F (8° C), your heat  
pump can deliver approximately 3.5 units of  
heat energy per each unit of electrical energy  
used, as compared to a maximum of only 1  
unit of heat energy produced with conventional  
heating systems.  
Emergency Heat  
Some thermostats may include a system mode  
called EM HT or AUX HT, etc. This is a back-  
up heating mode that should only be used if a  
problem is suspected.With the mode set to EM  
HT, etc., the compressor and outdoor fan will  
be locked off and supplemental heat (electric  
resistance heating) will be used as a source of  
heat.Sustaineduseofelectricresistanceheatin  
place of the heat pump will result in an increase  
in electric utility costs.  
Defrost  
During cold weather heating operation, the  
outdoor unit will develop a coating of snow  
and ice on the heat transfer coil. This is normal  
and the unit will defrost itself. This unit features  
Demand Defrost that monitors ambient and coil  
temperatures to regulate the defrost function  
accordingly.  
In colder temperatures, the heat pump performs  
like an air conditioner run in reverse. Available  
heat energy outside the home is absorbed by  
the refrigerant and exhausted inside the home.  
This efficient process means you only pay for  
“movingtheheatfromtheoutdoorstotheindoor  
area.You do not pay to generate the heat, as is  
the case with more traditional furnace designs.  
At the beginning of the defrost cycle, both the  
outdoor condenser fan and compressor will  
turn off. After approximately 30 seconds, the  
compressor will turn on and begin to heat the  
outdoor coil causing the ice and snow to melt.  
NOTE: While the ice and snow is melting, some  
steammayrisefromtheoutdoorunitasthewarm  
coil causes the melting frost to evaporate.When  
defrost is completed, the outdoor fan motor will  
start, and the compressor will turn off again. In  
Duringsummer, theheatpumpreversestheow  
of the heat-absorbing refrigerant to become an  
energy-efficient, central air conditioner. Excess  
heat energy inside the home is absorbed by the  
refrigerant and exhausted outside the home.  
Operating Instructions

It is recommended that the unit be unpacked  
at the installation site to minimize damage due  
to handling.  
CAUTION:  
Do not tip the unit on its side. Oil  
may enter the compressor cylinders  
and cause starting trouble. If unit has  
been set on its side,restore to upright  
position and do not run for several  
hours.Thenrununitforafewseconds.  
Do this three or four times with five  
minutes between runs.  
Unconditioned Spaces  
1. Remove the bands from around the unit.  
2. Unfold the top and bottom cap flanges.  
3. Carefully remove the top cap and tube.  
All duct work passing through unconditioned  
spacemustbeproperlyinsulatedtominimizeduct  
lossesandpreventcondensation.Useinsulation  
with an outer vapor barrier. Refer to local codes  
for insulation material requirements.  
Minimum Clearances  
Minimum clearances MUST be maintained from  
adjacent structures to provide room for proper  
servicing and air circulation.DO NOT install unit  
in a confined or recessed area that will allow  
discharge air from the unit to re-circulate into  
the condenser air inlet, through the coil. See  
Figure 3 (page 6).  
The heat pump system will not cool or heat  
the home if air is lost to the outside through  
leaks in the duct system. Ducts that are  
collapsed or restricted by foreign objects  
will also prevent adequate air flow.  
Condensate Drainage  
Service Access Clearance:  
A 3/4” condensate fitting extends out of the side  
of the unit (Figure 2). The drain trap, shipped in  
the electrical compartment, must be installed  
to prevent water from collecting inside the unit.

NOTE: The return air box with grille and filter  
(Figure 6) should not be located in heavy traffic  
areas like hallways or center of rooms. A good  
spot is in a corner or under a table, if a minimum  
two inch clearance is available.  
Locating & Installing the Supply Damper(s)  
When locating the supply damper(s), carefully  
check floor joists and frame members that could  
interfere with the installation of the damper or  
flexibleduct.Ideally,thedamper(Figure7)should  
belocatedinthebottomofthemainduct,forward  
of center of the home, at least three feet from  
the nearest register. The round supply opening  
in the slanted side of the damper should face the  
sideofthehomewheretheheatpumpislocated.  
1. Start the installation from under the home by  
cutting a small hole in the subfloor.Determine  
how the floor joist location will affect cutting  
the opening needed for the return air box.  
NOTE: Floor joists are generally located on  
16” centers, leaving 14-3/8” between joists.  
2. After measuring the return air box  
(approximately 12-1/4” x 20-1/4”), cut the  
hole through the floor so that the box will fit  
between the floor joists.Care should be taken  
whencuttingthroughcarpetingtoavoidsnags.  
NOTE:Inmostinstallationsitwillbenecessary  
to cut a similar hole in the fiberboard directly  
undertheholeintheoor.However, iftheoor  
is more than ten inches deep, it will only be  
necessary to cut a hole for the collar on the  
return air box or for the insulated duct.  
1. Locate the center of the heat duct by cutting  
a small hole in the fiberboard below the duct  
at the desired location.  
2. Cut a hole approximately 3/4” larger than the  
damper opening in the fiberboard.  
3. Cuta9-1/8x13-1/8holeintheductandbend  
over all tabs flat on the inside of the heat duct.  
4. Insert the damper into the duct and bend over  
all tabs flat on the inside of the heat duct.

Is the unit installed with the proper clearances  
as listed in Figure 3 (page 6)?  
Short Cycle Protection  
The control circuit is equipped with a time-delay  
feature for protection against short cycling.  
With the system operating in the cooling mode,  
gradually raise the thermostat temperature  
setting until the whole system de-energizes.  
Immediately lower the thermostat temperature  
to the original setting and verify that the indoor  
blower is energized. After approximately 5  
minutes the compressor and the outdoor fan  
will energize.  
Is the wiring correct according to the wiring  
diagram and electrical codes?  
Are all the wiring connections tight? Check  
the condenser fan to make sure it turns freely.  
Is the overcurrent protection properly sized?

in a proper location?  
Emergency Heat  
Start-Up Procedure  
1. Set the thermostat’s system mode to EM  
HT and the fan mode to either AUTO  
(intermittent air) or to ON (continuous air).  
2. Set the thermostat’s temperature  
selector above the existing room  
temperature and check the following:  
• The thermostat auxiliary heat light (RED) is  
on.  
The control circuit consists of an anti-short cycle  
timer that will not let the compressor re-start  
before 5 minutes have elapsed.  
1. Set the system mode to OFF and the  
temperature mode to its highest setting.  
2. Turn power on at the disconnect switch.  
3. Set the system mode to ON or COOL.  
4. Set the temperature mode below room  
temperature. Verify that the indoor blower,  
outdoor fan, and compressor energize and  
the cooling function starts.  
• The AC compressor and the fan should not  
run; low voltage circuit remains energized.  
• Theblowerrunsaccordingtothethermostat’s  
fan mode setting.  
5. Verify the discharge air grilles are adjusted  
and the system air is balanced.  
Forced Defrost Mode (Field Test)  
6. Verify the duct work has no air leaks.  
7. Verify the condensate drain is installed  
correctly and functions properly.  
8. Set the temperature mode above room  
temperature. The unit should stop.  
• When the TEST terminals are shorted with  
the Y input active and pressure switches  
closed, the ACSD will be eliminated and the  
compressorcontactoroutputenergizeswithin  
2 seconds. When the TEST terminals are  
shorted for more than 9 seconds with the Y  
input active, the control will be placed into a  
forced defrost mode.  
9. Instructthehomeowneronunitandthermostat  
operation and filter servicing.  
Air Circulation  
Leave the thermostat system mode on OFF,  
and set the fan mode to ON. Blower should  
run continuously. Check the air delivery at the  
supply registers and adjust register openings for  
balanced air distribution. Examine ductwork for  
leaks or obstruction if insufficient air is detected.  
NOTE: The coil temperature sensor does not  
need to be cold when the unit is forced into  
defrost.  
• After the TEST input is removed, the defrost  
mode will terminate in 13.7 minutes or less  
or when the coil temperature is above the  
terminate set point or when the thermostat Y  
input is removed, whichever occurs first.  
SetthethermostatfanmodetoAUTO.Theblower  
should stop running.  
System Heating  
Anti Short Cycle Timer Test  
Set the thermostat system mode to HEAT and  
the fan mode to AUTO. Change the thermostat  
temperature selector above the existing room  
temperatureandcheckforthedischargeofwarm  
air at the supply registers.

UNIT MAINTENANCE  
WARNING:  
To prevent electrical shock,  
personal injury, or death,  
disconnect all electrical power  
to the unit before performing any  
maintenance or service. The unit  
mayhavemorethanoneelectrical  
supply.  
Proper maintenance is important to achieve  
optimum performance from the heat pump.The  
ability to properly perform maintenance on this  
equipmentrequirescertainmechanicalskillsand  
tools. If you do not possess these skills, contact  
your dealer for maintenance. Consult your local  
dealer about the availability of maintenance  
contracts. Routine maintenance should include  
the following:  
• The unit must be charged while both first and  
second stages are operating.  
To achieve rated capacity and efficiency the  
compressor must be exposed to refrigerant  
for at least 24 hours prior to running and then  
must be run for a minimum of 12 hours. See  
Refrigerant Charging Charts (Figures 11 - 14,  
pages 14 & 15) for Charging in Cooling Mode.  
• Inspect and clean or replace air filters at the  
beginningofeachheatingandcoolingseason,  
or more frequently if required.  
Charging an R-410A Unit in AC Mode with  
Outdoor Temperatures Above 65F  
• Inspect the condensate drain and outdoor  
coil at the beginning of each cooling season.  
Removeanydebris.Cleantheoutdoorcoiland  
louvers as necessary using a mild detergent  
and water. Rinse thoroughly with water.  
• Inspecttheelectricalconnectionsfortightness  
at the beginning of each heating and cooling  
season. Service as necessary.  
1. With the system operating at steady-  
state, measure the liquid refrigerant  
pressure in psig at the service valve.  
2. Measure the liquid refr igerant  
temperature (° F) at the service valve.  
3. For the temperature measured, determine  
the required liquid refrigerant pressure  
from the appropriate charging charts.  
• If the pressure measured in step 1 is greater  
than the required liquid refrigerant pressure  
determined in step 4, then there is too much  
chargeinthesystem.Removerefrigerantand  
repeat steps 1 through 3 until the system is  
correctly charged.  
• If the pressure measured in step 1 is less  
than the required liquid refrigerant pressure  
determined in step 4, then there is too little  
charge in the system. Add refrigerant and  
repeat steps 1 through 3 until the system is  
correctly charged.  
CAUTION:  
The unit should never be operated  
without a filter in the return air  
system.Replacedisposablelters  
with the same type and size.  
• Do not attempt to add additional oil to motors  
unequipped with oil tubes.The compressor is  
hermetically sealed at the factory and does  
not require lubrication.

COMPONENT FUNCTIONS  
Low Pressure Switch  
The low pressure switch is factory installed and  
located in the suction line internal to the unit.The  
switch is designed to protect the compressor if a  
loss of charge occurs.Under normal conditions,  
the switch is closed.  
High Pressure Switch  
The high pressure switch is factory installed  
and located in the compressor discharge line  
internal to the unit.The switch is designed to de-  
energize the system when very high pressures  
occurduringabnormalconditions.Undernormal  
conditions, the switch is closed.  
If the discharge pressure rises above 650 psig,  
the switch will open and de-energize the unit.  
The switch will close again once the discharge  
pressure decreases to 460 psig. The high  
pressure switch interrupts the thermostat inputs  
to the unit. NOTE: When the switch opens and  
thencloses,therewillbea5minuteshortcycling  
delay before the unit can energize.  
If the suction pressure falls below 5 psig, then
