Remote Thermostat

Location

 

All Friedrich Vert-I-Pak units are factory configured to be controlled by using a 24V single stage remote wall mounted thermostat. The thermostat may be auto or manual changeover as long as the control configuration matches that of the Vert-I-Pak unit.

Manual Changeover Thermostat

For Heat Pump equipped units: a single stage, heat/cool thermostat with a terminal for a reversing valve operation is required. Terminal “B” should be continuously energized in the heat mode and terminal “G” should be energized whenever there is a call for heating or cooling. (Typically, a single stage, heat/cool thermostat designed for use with electric heat systems will meet the above requirements).

NOTICE

DO NOT use a two (2) stage Heat Pump Thermostat. Use of this type of thermostat may result in equipment and/or property damage

To control the unit with a wall-mounted thermostat:

1)Pull the disconnect switch.

2)Unscrew and remove the control box panel.

3)After selecting which side you want to run your thermostat wire through, run the wires through the side hole in the box to reach the connection terminal for the wiring.

4)Make the wire connections, appropriately matching the wires as shown in the wiring diagram.

5)Once each wire is matched and connected, the unit is now controlled by the thermostat.

6)Reattach the control box cover.

The thermostat should not be mounted where it may be affected by drafts, discharge air from registers (hot or cold), or heat radiated from the sun or appliances.

The thermostat should be located about 5 Ft. above the floor in an area of average temperature, with good air

circulation. Close proximity to the return air grille is the best choice.

Mercury bulb type thermostats MUST be level to control temperature accurately to the desired set-point. Electronic digital type thermostats SHOULD be level for aesthetics.

Thermostat Location

NOTE: An improperly operating, or poorly located room thermostat can be the source of perceived equipment problems. A careful check of the thermostat and wiring must be made then to insure that it is not the source of problems.

NOTE: It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that all control wiring connections are made in accordance with the Freidrich installation instructions. Questions concerning proper connections to the unit should be directed to the factory: 210-357-4400.

Desk Control Terminals

The Friedrich VERT-I-PAK has built-in provisions for connection to an external switch to control power to the unit. The switch can be a central desk control system or even a normally open door switch.

For desk control operation, connect one side of the switch to the D1 terminal and the other to the D2 terminal. Whenever the switch closes, the unit operation will stop.

field supplied.

Auxiliary Fan Control

The Smart Center also has the ability to control a 24VAC relay to activate an auxiliary, or transfer, fan. The outputs are listed as F1 and F2 on the control board.

To connect the relay, simply wire one side of the relay to F1 and the other side to F2. Anytime that the fan runs, the terminals will send a 24VAC signal to the relay. The relay must be 24 VAC, 50mA or less.

Note: The relay and auxiliary fans must be field supplied.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL BOARD FEATURES

The new Friedrich Vert-I-Pak has state of the art features to improve guest comfort and conserve energy. Through the use of specifically designed control software, Friedrich has accomplished what other Manufacturer’s have only attempted – a quiet, dependable, affordable and easy to use Vert-I-Pak.

Below is a list of standard features on every Friedrich VPAK and their benefit to the owner.

Quiet Start/Stop

The fan start and stop delays prevent abrupt changes in room acoustics due to the compressor energizing

or stopping immediately. Upon call for cooling or heating the unit fan will run for five seconds prior to en-

Fan Delay

ergizing the compressor. Also, the fan off delay allows for “free cooling” by utilizing the already cool indoor

 

coil to its maximum capacity by running for 30 seconds after the compressor.

 

 

Remote Thermostat

VPAK units are thermostat controlled.

Operation

 

 

 

Internal Diagnostic

The new Friedrich digital VPAK features a self diagnostic program that can alert maintenance to compo-

Program

nent failures or operating problems. The internal diagnostic program saves properties valuable time when

diagnosing running problems.

 

 

Service Error Code

The self diagnosis program will also store error codes in memory if certain conditions occur and correct

themselves such as extreme high or low operating conditions or activation of the room freeze protection

Storage

feature. Storing error codes can help properties determine if the unit faced obscure conditions or if an error

 

occurred and corrected itself.

 

 

 

When the VPAK senses that the indoor room temperature has fallen to 40°F the unit will cycle on high fan

Room Freeze

and the electric strip heat to raise the room temperature to 46°F then cycle off again. This feature works

Protection

regardless of the mode selected and can be turned off. The control will also store the Room Freeze cycle

in the service code memory for retrieval at a later date. This feature ensures that unoccupied rooms do not

 

reach freezing levels where damage can occur to plumbing and fixtures.

 

 

Random

Multiple compressors starting at once can often cause electrical overloads and premature unit failure.

Compressor Restart

The random restart delay eliminates multiple units from starting at once following a power outage or initial

power up. The compressor delay will range from 180 to 240 seconds.

 

 

Digital Defrost

The new Friedrich VPAK uses a digital thermostat to accurately monitor the outdoor coil conditions to allow

Thermostat

the heat pump to run whenever conditions are correct. Running the VPAK in heat pump mode save energy

and reduces operating costs. The digital thermostat allows maximization of heat pump run time.

 

 

Instant Heat

Heat pump models will automatically run the electric heater during compressor lock-out to quickly provide

Heat Pump Mode

heat when initially energized, then return to heat pump mode. This ensures that the room is heated quickly

without the usual delay associated with heat pump units.

 

 

Emergency Heat

In the event of a compressor failure in heat pump mode the compressor may be locked out to provide heat

Override

through the resistance heater. This feature ensures that even in the unlikely event of a compressor failure

the room temperature can be maintained until the compressor can be serviced.

 

 

Desk Control Ready

All electronic VPAK units have low voltage terminals ready to connect a desk control energy management

system. Controlling the unit from a remote location like the front desk can reduce energy usage and

 

requires no additional accessories at the VPAK.

 

 

Indoor Coil Frost

The frost sensor protects the compressor from damage in the event that airfl ow is reduced or low outdoor

temperatures cause the indoor coil to freeze. When the indoor coil reaches 30°F the compressor is

Sensor

diabled and the fan continues to operate based on demand. Once the coil temperature returns to 45°F the

 

compressor returns to operation.

 

 

Ultra-Quiet Air

The VPAK series units feature a indoor fan system design that reduces sound levels without

System

lowering airflow and preventing proper air circulation.

 

 

High Efficiency

The VPAK benefits quality components and extensive development to ensure a quiet, efficient and

dependable unit.

 

 

 

Rotary Compressor

High efficiency rotary compressors are used on all Friedrich VPAKs to maximize durability and efficiency.

 

 

Auxiliary Fan Ready

The VPAK features a 24V AC terminal for connection to an auxiliary fan that may be used to transfer air to

adjoining rooms. Auxiliary fans can provide conditioning to multiple rooms.

Dip Switch Setting

Switches 1-4 ON

Switch 5-7 OFF Switch 8 ON

Room Freeze Protection – Switch 6

Units are shipped from the factory with the room freeze protection disabled. Room Freeze Protection can be switched on at the owner’s preference by moving Dip Switch 6 to ‘ON’. This feature will monitor the indoor room conditions and in the event that the room falls below 40°F the unit will cycle on high fan with the electric heater. This occurs regardless of mode.

Emergency Heat Override – Switch 7

Units are shipped from the factory with the room emergency heat override disabled. In the unlikely event of a compressor failure a heat pump unit may be switched to operate in only the electric heat mode until repairs can be made, by moving Dip Switch 7 to ‘ON’.

Discharge Air Sensor Override – Switch 8

This switch MUST remain in the “ON” position for Vert-I-Pak models, since they do not use a discharge air sensor. If the switch is positioned in the “OFF” position on these models it will result in the erroneous display Error Code 14 indicating that the Discharge air temperature sensor is open or shorted.

Note: In order for the control to recognize “Dip” switch setting changes, the unit must be disconnected from power supply when making any configuration changes.

Electronic Control Error Code

Diagnostics and Test Mode

Error Code Diagnostics

The VPAK electronic control continuously monitors the Vert-I-Pak unit operation and will store error codes if certain conditions are witnessed. In some cases the unit may take action and shut the unit off until conditions are corrected.

To access the error code menu press the ‘HEAT’ and ‘HIGH

FAN’ buttons simultaneously for three seconds. If error codes are present they will be displayed. If multiple codes exist you can toggle between error codes using the temp up ▲button.
