Maximum size of the time delay fuse or HACR type circuit breaker for protection of eld wiring conductors.
Based on 75°C copper wire. All wiring must conform to NEC and all local codes.
These “Minimum Circuit Ampacity” values are to be used for sizing the eld power conductors. Refer to the National Electric Code
(latest revision), Article 310 for power conductor sizing.
Upon receipt of equipment, the carton should be
checked for external signs of shipping damage. If
damage is found, the receiving party must contact
the last carrier immediately, preferably in writing,
requesting inspection by the carrier’s agent.
General
The equipment covered in this manual is to be installed
by trained, experienced service and installation
technicians.
The refrigerant system is completely assembled and
charged. All internal wiring is complete.
The unit is designed for use with or without duct work.
Flanges are provided for attaching the supply and return
ducts.
These instructions explain the recommended method
to install the air cooled self-contained unit and the
electrical wiring connections to the unit.
These instructions and any instructions packaged with
any separate equipment, required to make up the entire
air conditioning system should be carefully read before
beginning the installation. Note particularly “Starting
Procedure” and any tags and/or labels attached to the
equipment.
While these instructions are intended as a general
recommended guide, they do not supersede any
national and/or local codes in any way. Authorities
having jurisdiction should be consulted before the
installation is made. See Page 3 for information on
codes and standards.
Size of unit for a proposed installation should be based
on heat loss/heat gain calculation made according
to methods of Air Conditioning Contractors of
America (ACCA). The air duct should be installed
in accordance with the Standards of the National
Fire Protection Association for the Installation of Air
Conditioning and Ventilating Systems of Other Than
Residence Type, NFPA No. 90A, and Residence Type
Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Systems,
NFPA No. 90B. Where local regulations are at a
variance with instructions, installer should adhere to
local codes.
Design the duct work according to methods given by
the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA).
When duct runs through unheated spaces, it should be
insulated with a minimum of one inch of insulation.
Use insulation with a vapor barrier on the outside of the
insulation. Flexible joints should be used to connect
the duct work to the equipment in order to keep the
noise transmission to a minimum.
These units are suitable for 0 inch clearance to
combustible material. See Wall Mounting Instructions
and Figures 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 for further details.
Ducts through the walls must be insulated and all joints
taped or sealed to prevent air or moisture entering the
wall cavity.
Some installations may not require any return air duct.
A metallic return air grille is required with installations
not requiring a return air duct. The spacing between
louvers on the grille shall not be larger than 5/8 inch.
NOTE: If no return air duct is used, applicable
installation codes may limit this cabinet to
installation only in a single story structure.
Any grille that meets with 5/8 inch louver criteria
may be used. It is recommended that Bard Return Air
Grille Kit RG3 through RG5 or RFG3 through RFG5
be installed when no return duct is used. Contact
distributor or factory for ordering information. If using
a return air lter grille, lters must be of sufcient size
to allow a maximum velocity of 400 fpm.
FIlters
A 2-inch pleated lter is supplied with each unit. The
lter slides into position making it easy to service. This
lter can be serviced from the outside by removing the
lter access door.
cOnDensate DraIn – eVaPOratOr
A plastic drain hose extends from the drain pan at
the top of the unit down to the unit base. There are
openings in the unit base for the drain hose to pass
through. In the event the drain hose is connected to a
drain system of some type, it must be an open or vented
type system to assure proper drainage.
Wall mOuntInG InFOrmatIOn
Duct WOrK
Any heat pump is more critical of proper operating
charge and an adequate duct system than a straight
air conditioning unit. All duct work, supply and
return, must be properly sized for the design airow
requirement of the equipment. Air Conditioning
Contractors of America (ACCA) is an excellent guide
to proper sizing. All duct work or portions thereof not
in the conditioned space should be properly insulated in
order to both conserve energy and prevent condensation
or moisture damage.

1. Two holes for the supply and return air openings
must be cut through the wall as shown in Figure 4.
2. On wood frame walls, the wall construction must be
strong and rigid enough to carry the weight of the
unit without transmitting any unit vibration.
3. Concrete block walls must be thoroughly inspected
to insure that they are capable of carrying the

Refer to the unit rating plate for wire sizing information
and maximum fuse or “HACR” type circuit breaker
size. Each outdoor unit is marked with a “Minimum
Circuit Ampacity”. This means that the eld wiring
used must be sized to carry that amount of current.
Depending on the installed KW of electric heat, there
may be two eld power circuits required. If this is the
case, the unit serial plate will so indicate. All models
are suitable only for connection with copper wire. Each
unit and/or wiring diagram will be marked “Use Copper
Conductors Only”. These instructions must be adhered
to. Refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC) for
complete current carrying capacity data on the various
insulation grades of wiring material. All wiring must
conform to NEC and all local codes.
The electrical data lists fuse and wire sizes (75°C
copper) for all models including the most commonly
used heater sizes. Also shown are the number of eld
power circuits required for the various models with
heaters.
The unit rating plate lists a “Maximum Time Delay
Relay Fuse” or “HACR” type circuit breaker that is to
be used with the equipment. The correct size must be
used for proper circuit protection and also to assure that
there will be no nuisance tripping due to the momentary
high starting current of the compressor motor.
The disconnect access door on this unit may be locked
to prevent unauthorized access to the disconnect. To
convert for the locking capability, bend the tab located
in the bottom left hand corner of the disconnect
opening under the disconnect access panel straight
out. This tab will now line up with the slot in the door.
When shut, a padlock may be placed through the hole
in the tab preventing entry.
See “Start Up” section for important information on
three phase scroll compressor start ups.
Only needed if dehumidication is used.
Eleven (11) wires should be run from thermostat
subbase to the 24V terminal board in the unit. An
eleven conductor, 18 gauge copper color-coded
thermostat cable is recommended. The connection
points are shown in Figure 11. An additional wire is
needed if dehumidication is used.
ImPOrtant
Only the thermostat combinations as shown
above will work with this equipment.
These units use a grounded 24 volt AC low voltage
circuit and require at least a 2 stage heating and a 2
stage cooling thermostat.
“G” terminal is the fan input.
“Y” terminal is the compressor Stage 1 input.
“Y1” terminal is the compressor Stage 2 input.
“B” terminal is the reversing valve input. The
reversing valve must be energized for heating mode.
“R” terminal is 24 VAC hot.
“C” terminal is 24 VAC grounded.
“L” terminal is compressor lockout output. This
terminal is activated on a high or low pressure trip by
the electronic heat pump control. This is a 24 VAC
output.
“W2” terminal is second stage heat (if equipped).
“O1” terminal is the ventilation input. This terminal
energizes any factory or eld installed ventilation
option.
“DH” terminal is the dehumidierinput. This terminal
energizes the factory or eld installed dehumidier
option.
“E” terminal is the emergency heat input. This
terminal energizes the emergency heat relay if
equipped.
NOTE: For total and proper control using DDC, a
minimum of 8 controlled outputs are required
(6ifnoventilationordehumidieroption
is installed). For proper system operation
underEmergencyHeatconditionswhere
the compressor needs to be deactivated,
the B-W2-E outputs need to be energized.
Removing the Y (compressor) signal alone
turns the compressor off, but does not activate
the additional circuitry embedded in the heat
pump for proper and complete operation.

These units require R-410A refrigerant & Polyol Ester oil.
aPPlIcatIOn:
1. Use separate service and manufacturing equipment
to avoid cross contamination of oil and refrigerants.
2. Use recovery equipment rated for R-410A
refrigerant.
3. Use manifold gauges rated for R-410A (800 psi/250
psi low).
4. R-410A is a binary blend of HFC-32 and HFC-125.
5. R-410A is nearly azeotropic - similar to R-22 and
R-12. Although nearly azeotropic, charge with
liquid refrigerant.
6. R-410A operates at 40-70% higher pressure than
R-22, and systems designed for R-22 cannot
withstand this higher pressure.
7. R-410A has an ozone depletion potential of zero,
but must be reclaimed due to its global warming
potential.
8. R-410A compressors use Polyol Ester oil.
9. Polyol Ester oil is hygroscopic; it will rapidly
absorb moisture and strongly hold this moisture in
the oil.
10. A liquid line dryer must be used - even a deep
vacuum will not separate moisture from the oil.
11. Limit atmospheric exposure to 15 minutes - MAxIMuM.
12. If compressor removal is necessary, always plug
compressor immediately after removal. Purge
with small amount of nitrogen when inserting plugs.

saFetY PractIces:
1. Never mix R-410A with other refrigerants.
2. Use gloves and safety glasses, Polyol Ester oils can
be irritating to the skin, and liquid refrigerant will
freeze the skin.
3. Never use air and R-410A to leak check; the
mixture may become ammable.
4. Do not inhale R-410A – the vapor attacks the
nervous system, creating dizziness, loss of coordination and slurred speech. Cardiac irregularities, unconsciousness and ultimate death
can result from breathing this concentration.
5. Do not burn R-410A. This decomposition produces
hazardous vapors. Evacuate the area if exposed.
6. Use only cylinders rated DOT4BA/4BW 400.
7. Never ll cylinders over 80% of total capacity.
8. Store cylinders in a cool area, out of direct sunlight.
9. Never heat cylinders above 125°F.
10. Never trap liquid R-410A in manifold sets, gauge
lines or cylinders. R-410A expands signicantly at
warmer temperatures. Once a cylinder or line is full
of liquid, any further rise in temperature will cause
it to burst.
ImPOrtant Installer nOte
For improved start-up performance, wash the indoor coil
with a dish washing detergent.
Pressure serVIce POrts
R-410A requires high pressure hose connections
and gauges. High and Low pressure service ports
are installed on all units so that the system operating
pressures can be observed. Pressure tables can be found
later in the manual covering all models on both cooling
and heating cycles. It is imperative to match the correct
pressure table to the unit by model number.
hIGh & lOW Pressure sWItch
All models are supplied with a remote reset high and low
pressure switch. If tripped, this pressure switch may be
reset by turning the thermostat off then back on again.
High/Low Pressure control provides protection for the
compressor. In the event system pressures go above 575
PSI or below 32 PSI, in either cooling or heating mode,
the compressor will be stopped. This high pressure switch
is located on the discharge line and is matched with Bard
Part #8406-113. This will activate the “L” terminal of
the low voltage terminal strip. This terminal can be used
for remote indication of a pressure lockout. The lockout
circuit will hold compressor off line. When the system
problem is corrected, the unit operation can be restored
by turning the main power supply off and then back on, or
reset the room thermostat. The low pressure control has a
bypass circuit built into the Defrost Control Board.
three Phase scrOll cOmPressOr
start uP InFOrmatIOn
Scroll compressors, like several other types of
compressors, will only compress in one rotational
direction. Direction of rotation is not an issue with
single phase compressors since they will always start
and run in the proper direction.
However, three phase compressors will rotate in either
direction depending upon phasing of the power. Since
there is a 50-50 chance of connecting power in such
a way as to cause rotation in the reverse direction,
verication of proper rotation must be made. All three
phase units incorporate a phase monitor to ensure proper
eld wiring. See the “Phase Monitor” section later in
this manual.
Verication of proper rotation must be made any time a
compressor is changed or rewired. If improper rotation
is corrected at this time there will be no negative impact
on the durability of the compressor. However, reverse
operation for over one hour may have a negative impact
on the bearing due to oil pump out.
All three phase ZR3 compressors are wired identically
internally. As a result, once the correct phasing
is determined for a specic system or installation,
connecting properly phased power leads to the same
Fusite terminal should maintain proper rotation direction.
Verication of proper rotation direction is made by
observing that suction pressure drops and discharge
pressure rises when the compressor is energized. Reverse
rotation also results in an elevated sound level over that
with correct rotations, as well as substantially reduced
current draw compared to tabulate values.
The direction of rotation of the compressor may be
changed by reversing any two line connections to the unit.
Manual 2100-455M

Phase mOnItOr
All units with three phase compressors are equipped with
a 3 phase line monitor to prevent compressor damage
due to phase reversal.
The phase monitor in this unit is equipped with two
LEDs. If the Y signal is present at the phase monitor
and phases are correct, the green LED will light. If
phases are reversed, the red fault LED will be lit and
compressor operation is inhibited.
If a fault condition occurs, shut off main power and
reverse two of the supply leads to the unit. Do not reverse
any of the unit factory wires as damage may occur.
serVIce hInts
1. Caution owner/operator to maintain clean air lters
at all times. Also, not to needlessly close off supply
and return air registers. This reduces airow through
the system, which shortens equipment service life as
well as increasing operating costs.
2. Switching to heating cycle at 75°F or higher outside
temperature may cause a nuisance trip of the remote
reset high pressure switch. Turn thermostat off then
on to reset the high pressure switch.
3. The heat pump wall thermostats perform multiple
functions. Be sure that all function switches are
correctly set for the desired operating mode before
trying to diagnose any reported service problems.
4. Check all power fuses or circuit breakers to be sure
they are the correct rating.
5. Periodic cleaning of the outdoor coil to permit full
and unrestricted airow circulation is essential.
seQuence OF OPeratIOn
COOLING STAGE 1 – Circuit R-Y makes at
thermostat pulling in compressor contactor, starting the
compressor and outdoor motor. The G (indoor motor)
circuit is automatically completed on any call for cooling
operation or can be energized by manual fan switch on
subbase for constant air circulation.
COOLING STAGE 2 – Circuit R-Y1 makes at
the thermostat energizing the 2nd stage solenoid in
the compressor. Default position is not energized.
Compressor will run at low capacity until this solenoid is
energized.
HEATING STAGE 1 – A 24V solenoid coil on reversing
valve controls heating cycle operation. Two thermostat
options, one allowing “Auto” changeover from cycle to
cycle and the other constantly energizing solenoid coil
during heating season and thus eliminating pressure
equalization noise except during defrost, are to be used.
On “Auto” option a circuit is completed from R-B and
R-Y on each heating “on” cycle, energizing reversing
valve solenoid and pulling in compressor contactor
starting compressor and outdoor motor. R-G also make
starting indoor blower motor. Heat pump heating cycle
now in operation. The second option has no “Auto”
changeover position, but instead energizes the reversing
valve solenoid constantly whenever the system switch
on subbase is placed in “Heat” position, the “B” terminal
being constantly energized from R. A thermostat
demand for Stage 1 heat completes R-Y circuit, pulling
in compressor contactor starting compressor and outdoor
motor. R-G also make starting indoor blower motor.
HEATING STAGE 2 – Circuit R-Y2 makes at the
thermostat energizing the 2nd stage solenoid in the
compressor.
cOmPressOr current & Pressure
cOntrOl mODule
The compressor control module monitors compressor
current and pressure and prevents internal overload
trips due to low voltage or extremely high ambient
temperatures by de-energizing the full capacity
compressor solenoid. The control monitors current
to the compressor and discharge pressure. If current
is sensed that is in excess of 93% of the compressor
maximum continuous current rating or pressure is
sensed greater than 540 PSI (located on liquid line and
is marked with Bard Part #8406-111), the compressor
control module de-energizes the second stage solenoid
in the compressor for a time as determined by the time
potentiometer on the compressor control module. This
will drop the current draw and pressure and allow the
compressor to run at 75 percent of capacity rather than
not at all. Once the time period has elapsed the full
capacity compressor solenoid will re-energize and try
again to run at full capacity. If the pressure or current
is exceeded again, the coil will again de-energize. This
sequence will repeat until the ambient temperature drops
or the line voltage increases enough that the trip values
are not exceeded.
The relay on the compressor control module is a single
pole double throw relay. The full capacity compressor
solenoid connects to the common terminal of the relay.
Once current is sensed by the compressor control
module, the relay closes and the second stage cooling
call (if present) is sent to the full capacity compressor
solenoid. This sequence prevents damage to the full
capacity compressor solenoid by ensuring that the
solenoid is not energized when the compressor is
not running. A brief time delay in this sequence also
prevents locked rotor amperage during start-up from
tripping the device and engaging the time delay period.
ACCUMULATED DEFROST TIME TIMER
(FACTORY SETTING 60 MIN.)
ON
The defrost cycle is controlled by temperature and time on the
solid state heat pump control.
When the outdoor temperature is in the lower 40°F
temperature range or colder, the outdoor coil temperature is
32°F or below. This coil temperature is sensed by the coil
temperature sensor mounted near the bottom of the outdoor
coil. Once coil temperature reaches 30°F or below, the
coil temperature sensor sends a signal to the control logic
of the heat pump control and the defrost timer will start
accumulating run time.
After 30, 60 or 90 minutes of heat pump operation at 30°F
or below, the heat pump control will place the system in the
defrost mode.
During the defrost mode, the refrigerant cycle switches back
to the cooling cycle, the outdoor motor stops, electric heaters
are energized, and hot gas passing through the outdoor coil
melts any accumulated frost. When the temperature rises to
approximately 57°F, the coil temperature sensor will send a
signal to the heat pump control which will return the system
to heating operations automatically.
If some abnormal or temporary condition such as a high wind
causes the heat pump to have a prolonged defrost cycle, the
heat pump control will restore the system to heating operation
automatically after 8 minutes.
The heat pump defrost control board has an option of 30, 60
or 90-minute setting. By default, this unit is shipped from
the factory with the defrost time on the 60 minute pin. If
circumstances require a change to another time, remove
the wire from the 60-minute terminal and reconnect to the
desired terminal. Refer to Figure 12.
There is a cycle speed up jumper on the control. This can be
used for testing purposes to reduce the time between defrost
cycle operation without waiting for time to elapse.
Use a small screwdriver or other metallic object, or another
¼ inch QC, to short between the SPEEDUP terminals to
accelerate the HPC timer and initiate defrost.
Be careful not to touch any other terminals with the instrument
used to short the SPEEDUP terminals. It may take up to
10 seconds with the SPEEDUP terminals shorted for the
speedup to be completed and the defrost cycle to start.
As soon as the defrost cycle kicks in remove the shorting
instrument from the SPEEDUP terminals. Otherwise the
timing will remain accelerated and run through the 1-minute
minimum defrost length sequence in a matter of seconds and
will automatically terminate the defrost sequence.

Manual 2100-455M
Page 19 of 28
There is an initiate defrost jumper (sen jump) on the
control that can be used at any outdoor ambient during
the heating cycle to simulate a 0° coil temperature.
This can be used to check defrost operation of the unit
without waiting for the outdoor ambient to fall into the
defrost region.
By placing a jumper across the SEN JMP terminals (a
¼ inch QC terminal works best) the defrost sensor
mounted on the outdoor coil is shunted out & will
activate the timing circuit. This permits the defrost cycle
to be checked out in warmer weather conditions without
the outdoor temperature having to fall into the defrost
region.
In order to terminate the defrost test the SEN JMP jumper
must be removed. If left in place too long, the compressor
could stop due to the high pressure control opening
because of high pressure condition created by operating in
the cooling mode with outdoor fan off. Pressure will rise
fairly fast as there is likely no actual frost on the outdoor
coil in this articial test condition.
There is also a 5-minute compressor time delay function built
into the HPC. This is to protect the compressor from short
cycling conditions. The board’s LED will have a fast blink
rate when in the compressor time delay. In some instances,
it is helpful to the service technician to override or speed up
this timing period, and shorting out the SPEEDUP terminals
for a few seconds can do this.
Low Pressure Switch Bypass Operation - The control has
a selectable (SW1) low pressure switch bypass set up to
ignore the low pressure switch input during the rst (30,
60, 120 or 180 seconds) of “Y” operation.
After this period expires, the control will then monitor the
low pressure switch input normally to make sure that the
switch is closed during “Y” operation.
High Pressure Switch Operation - The control has a
built-in lockout system that allows the unit to have the
high pressure switch trip up to two times in one hour and
only encounter a “soft” lockout. A “soft” lockout shuts
the compressor off and waits for the pressure switch to
reset, which at that point then allows the compressor to
be restarted as long as the 5-minute short cycle timer
has run out. If the high pressure switch trips a third time
within one hour, the unit is in “hard” lockout indicating
something is certainly wrong and it will not restart itself.

cOmPressOr sOlenOID
A nominal 24-volt direct current coil activates the
internal compressor solenoid. The input control
circuit voltage must be 18 to 28 volt ac. The coil
power requirement is 20 VA. The external electrical
connection is made with a molded plug assembly (PN
029-0311-00). This plug contains a full wave rectier
to supply direct current to the unloader coil.
Compressor Solenoid test Procedure – If it is
suspected that the unloader is not working, the
following methods may be used to verify operation.
1. Operate the system and measure compressor
amperage. Cycle the compressor solenoid on
and off at ten-second intervals. The compressor
amperage should go up or down at least 25 percent.
2. If step one does not give the expected results, shut
unit off. Apply 18 to 28 volt ac to the solenoid
molded plug leads and listen for a click as the
solenoid pulls in. Remove power and listen for
another click as the solenoid returns to its original
position.
3. If clicks can’t be heard, shut off power and remove
the control circuit molded plug from the compressor
and measure the solenoid coil resistance. The
resistance should be 32 to 60 ohms depending on
compressor temperature.
4. Next, check the molded plug.
Voltage check: Apply control voltage to the plug wires
(18 to 28 volt ac). The measured dc voltage at the
female connectors in the plug should be around 15 to
27 vdc.
Resistance check: Measure the resistance from the end
of one molded plug lead to either of the two female
connectors in the plug. One of the connectors should
read close to zero ohms, while the other should read
innity. Repeat with other wire. The same female
connector as before should read zero, while the other
connector again reads innity. Reverse polarity on the
ohmmeter leads and repeat. The female connector that
read innity previously should now read close to zero
ohms.
Replace plug if either of these test methods does not
show the desired results.
