GENERAL
The equipment covered in this manual is to be installed
by trained, experienced service and installation
technicians.
The I-TEC must be installed with the Bard
manufactured IWS wall sleeve and ILG louver
grille accessories. These are sold as separate
accessories. Any substitutions will void the
manufacturer’s warranty.
The unit is designed for use with or without ductwork.
For use without ductwork, Plenum Box IPBDFZ18color (18" height) or IPBDFZ12-color (12" height) is
recommended.
These instructions explain the recommended method
to install the air cooled self-contained unit and the
electrical connections to it.
These instructions and any instructions packaged
with any separate equipment required to make up the
entire heating and air conditioning system should be
carefully read before beginning the installation. Note
particularly “Start 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 or 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 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,

SHIPPING DAMAGE
Upon receipt of equipment, the unit should be checked
for external signs of shipping damage. The skid must
remain attached until the unit is ready for installation.
If damage is found, the receiving party must contact
the last carrier immediately, preferably in writing,
requesting inspection by the carrier’s agent.
UNIT REMOVAL FROM SKID
WARNING
This unit is heavy and requires more than one person
to handle during installation and removal from the
skid. Extreme caution must be taken to prevent injury
to personnel and damage to the unit. Use appropriate
safety equipment, including gloves when handling.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
A forklift or a lift rated for the load (Figure 2A) is
required to lift the unit off from the skid. This unit is
top heavy and should never be tipped while moving it.
The I-TEC is designed to be lifted off the skid from the
front or rear of the unit without having to remove any
doors or side panels. See Figure 1 for fork openings.
The shipping brackets on front and rear of the unit must
be removed and discarded. The unit can now be lifted
straight up and the skid can be slid out from underneath.
Tip unit from left side only.
Failure to do so may result in injury due to unit
top-heaviness or compressor damage!
HANDLING UNIT AFTER REMOVAL FROM SKID
If a wide and tall opening exists, the I-TEC can be moved as a
complete assembled unit. If not, use the following directions for
dis-assembly to allow it to pass through a 36" wide door.
1. Depress and release both top & bottom door latches and
open doors.
2. Remove doors by lifting straight up & off from the hinge pins.
3. Remove cabinet sides by rst removing the four (4) sheet metal
screws from the front (leading edge) of the side panel. The panel
will not fall off. Swing the panel away from the chassis 20-30
degrees & then pull forward from the two (2) tabs supporting
the rear edge. At this point, the unit can be tipped on its left
side enough to get dolly carts under it. Use dolly carts to
move unit into installation area. Use care not to damage
vent wire harness. This method is not suggested due to unit
weight and if a forklift or unit lift is available, continue with
the following steps for separation of top section & bottom base.
4. On each side of the unit is a tie plate that secures the top &
bottom sections with four (4) cap bolts. Using a ½" wrench
or socket, remove these screws from both plates & set aside.
5. If the unit is equipped with a CRV, you must unplug the
wire harness on the left-hand side of the control box.
6. A forklift or a lift rated for the load is required to lift the
top section off from the bottom base. Do not attempt to
do this manually! Failure to do so could result in the
unit tipping over & causing bodily injury &/or damage to
the unit.
7. The top section can be forked from either the RH or LH
side. See Figure 1 for fork openings.
8. Carefully lift the top section straight up avoiding tipping.
9. Move the top section through the doorway & place on at
surface free of debris.
10. The bottom base can now be moved through the doorway
the same way.
11. Reassemble the unit by reversing this procedure.

The compressor is secured to the base with two (2) bolts
for shipping. Although the unit will perform as designed
with the shipping bolts in place, there may be noticeable
additional noise and vibration noted. To obtain the lowest
noise and vibration levels, remove the shipping bolts after
the unit is in its nal operating location. To gain access
to the compressor, the compressor access panel must be
removed (Figure 7). Once this panel is removed, the CRV
air duct must be removed. See Figure 4.
The air duct is removed by pulling it straight toward you;
there are no screws securing it in place. Both the top and
bottom slide toward you at the same time (pull hard).
Once removed, the compressor is visible as well as the
tags on the shipping bolts (Figure 3).
After the compressor shipping bolts have been removed,
the CRV air duct can be slid back in place and the
compressor access panel attached.
MINIMUM INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
The minimum installation height to the bottom of the
roof or xed ceiling for ducted applications is 9 ft. 7 in.
This provides enough clearance to install the duct work.
See Figure 5A.
The IWS Series wall sleeve has a built-in vertical
adjustment to t window sill heights from 31-34 inches.
If additional height is required, two riser platform
accessories are available. The IRZ3 increases the
unit height by 3 inches (Figure 5B) and the IRZ6 by 6
inches (Figure 5C).
Several construction options are available for unit
installation of the IZ Series. Serviceability and lter
access must be considered before installing. See Figure
5D for required clearances and recommended service
access dimensions.
SECURING UNIT TO STRUCTURE
Shipped with the I-TEC unit is a wall mounting bracket
(screwed to shipping skid on backside of unit). This bracket
can be utilized to secure the top portion of the unit to the
wall using the appropriate eld supplied hardware based
upon the material you are fastening to. (There are several
offset holes, sized to accept up to a 1/4" diameter fastener
that will easily allow you to hit studs on a framed wall.) See
BRACKET SECTION VIEW (Page 10) for locating this top
wall bracket which will need to be applied after the unit is
located in the nal position.
Additional/optional mounting holes for up to a 3/8"
diameter fastener are also available in the backside and
base of the unit. These can be accessed by:
• removing the air lters (uppermost set)
• removing the compressor section service door (lower set)
• removing vent door and vent partitions (base set)
Refer to WOOD FRAMED INSTALLATION (Page 10) for
additional framing required to secure unit to wall.
The additional/optional mounting holes will require a
long extension to drive the fasteners.
SEISMIC CONSIDERATIONS
The I-TEC product features several locations for product
securement but all site conditions are different. Consult
with a licensed Seismic Engineer to advise of particular
needs when attaching the I-TEC unit to the structure.

BEND THE PROVIDED

UP FOR DUCT INSTALLATION
Any heat pump is more critical of proper operating
charge and an adequate duct system than a straight air
conditioning unit. All duct work 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. 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.
The I-TEC series heat pump has provision to attach a
supply air duct to the top of the unit. Duct connection
size is 20 inches x 24 inches. The anges are shipped
at and must be bent upward using sheet metal anging
pliers. The duct work is eld supplied. See Figure 6 for
suggested attachment method.
Make sure to seal the slots in the bend-up ange at the
time of securing your ductwork to the ange. This can
be accomplished with either foil tape or caulk. Failing
to do so may cause air leakage/whistling of air.
FIGURE 6
SUPPLY DUCT CONNECTIONS
The unit is equipped with a variable speed indoor
blower motor which increases in speed with an increase
in duct static pressure. The unit will therefore deliver
proper rated airow up to the maximum ESP shown
in Table 1A. However, for quiet operation of the
air system, the duct static should be kept as low as
practical, within the guidelines of good duct design.
FILTERS
Two 2-inch throw away lters (24 x 30) and two 1-inch
throw away lters (16 x 25) are supplied with each
unit. The 2-inch lters slide into brackets on both sides
for the return air openings. If a CRV vent option is
used, there are two (2) additional 1" throw away lters
included with that option. See Figure 7 for specic
locations. The lters are serviced from the inside of
the building by opening the cabinet doors, and do not
require any tools to access.

free return (non-ducted) and either duct free with the use
of IPBDFZ Series Plenum Box (18" or 12") or a duct
supply air system.
The IPBDZ Plenum Box mounts on top of the unit and
has both vertically and horizontally adjustable louvers on
the front discharge grille.
When used with a ducted supply, a Cabinet Extension
may be used to conceal the ductwork above the unit to
the ceiling. The ICX28 extends 28" above the unit for a
total height of 10'-2" or can be trimmed to any height.

CONDENSATE DRAIN
There are two condensate drain connections from the
condenser drain pan (compressor area). These are
visible from the rear of the unit. Factory installed tubing
connects the two drains at a tee connection and then a
single drain hose with a barbed hose connector carries
the condensate to the draining option of your choice.
Enough tubing is provided to reach all drain options and
can be cut down in length.
The unit is shipped from the factory with the drain line
on the left-hand side as you look at the rear of the unit.
The tubing can be removed from the drain connections
and ipped for a right-hand drain. See Figure 8.
The drain can be routed directly through the oor or
through the wall. There are also two optional drain
locations in the lower rear back panel. See Figure 8.
The I-TEC design does not require a trap in the
condensate disposal tubing. Check your local codes to
see if a “P” trap is required.
For a stand pipe oor drain or through the wall, there is
adequate hose length to reach needed location behind the
unit. The lower rear portion of the cabinet is recessed
approximately 4 inches allowing room for a “P” trap (if
required) to be installed with the cabinet ush with the wall.
Keep in mind, the drain line must be able to be removed
from the unit if necessary to remove the unit from the wall.
Access plates are located on the rear of the unit for
servicing the drain trap. See Figure 8. If the drain line
is to be routed through an unconditioned space, it must
be protected from freezing.
The condensate drain line can also be routed back into
the unit through either the right-hand or left-hand
optional drain locations on the rear of the unit. The
hole is covered by insulation on the inside of the unit
and will have to be cut away. Located inside the unit,
about 12 inches in from the front on both the left and
right side are drain holes in the bottom of the base.
These holes are covered with insulation and are not
visible from inside vent option area. They are located
very close to the side panels and can be found by
pressing down on the insulation or looking at back of
vent option area (See Figure 8). Cut insulation away
to expose the hole. A drain trap can now be installed
inside of the cabinet, and the drain hose routed directly
through the oor.
Once the I-TEC is installed, the rear drains exiting the
condenser section can be easily serviced with removal
of the pre-painted metal sides (lift-off doors, remove
four [4] screws to remove side).
If side access is not available, the drain lines and trap
can be serviced by removing either one of the drain
access panels on the rear of the unit (in the ventialtion
package area.) See Figure 8.
After drain installation is complete, drain area must
be insulated for sound purposes with 45" x 24
piece of insulation. See Figure 8.

or any substance not affected by moisture.
4.
Attach the sleeve to the unit using the ten (10) ¾"
long self-tapping screws supplied with the sleeve.
5.
The exhaust sleeve has three (3) ¾" long screw slots
in each side ange. Line these up with the screw
engagement holes in the fan panel. Attach using six
(6) ¾" long pointed sheet metal screws supplied
with the sleeve. Extend the sleeve out until it is
ush with the louver grill attachment angles.
6.
Lock the sleeve in place using two (2) ½" long
pointed sheet metal screws on each side by shooting through the slot into a pre-punched hole.
7. A bottom trim piece is shipped loose for installation beneath the doors. Attach the trim
piece to the unit with screws provided.
8. The compressor is secured to the base with two
(2) bolts for shipping. Both bolts are identied
with a tag. Remove shipping bolts (Figure 3).
WIRING – MAIN POWER
Refer to the unit rating plate and/or Table 2 for wire sizing
information and maximum fuse or “HACR Type” circuit
breaker size. Each 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 suitable for at least
75°C”. 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.
See “START UP” section for information on three
phase scroll compressor start-ups.
The eld wiring conduit connections are located on the top
right-hand corner of the unit with a wire raceway to feed
the wires down to the circuit breaker(s). See Figure 10.

START UP
THESE UNITS REQUIRE R-410A
REFRIGERANT AND POLYOL
ESTER OIL.
GENERAL:
1. Use separate service 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.
12. If compressor removal is necessary, always plug
compressor immediately after removal. Purge with
small amount of nitrogen when inserting plugs.
TOPPING OFF SYSTEM CHARGE
If a leak has occurred in the system, Bard
Manufacturing recommends reclaiming, evacuating (see
criteria above), and charging to the nameplate charge.
However, if done correctly, topping off the system
charge can be done without problems.
With R-410A, there are no signicant changes in the
refrigerant composition during multiple leaks and
recharges. R-410A refrigerant is close to being an
azeotropic blend (it behaves like a pure compound
or single component refrigerant). The remaining
refrigerant charge, in the system, may be used after
leaks have occurred and then “top-off” the charge by
utilizing the charging charts on the inner control panel
cover as a guideline.
REMEMBER: When adding R-410A refrigerant,
it must come out of the charging cylinder/tank as a
liquid to avoid any fractionation, and to insure optimal
system performance. Refer to instructions for the
cylinder that is being utilized for proper method of
liquid extraction.
WARNING
Failure to conform to these practices
could lead to injury or death.
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.

DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD
EQUIPMENT
Solid State Electronic Heat Pump Control
Provides efcient 30, 60 or 90-minute defrost cycle.
A thermistor sensor and speed up terminal for service
along with a 8-minute defrost override are standard on
the electronic heat pump control. By default, the I-TEC
are factory shipped on the 90-minute defrost cycle.
High / Low Pressure Switch
Provides refrigerant circuit high pressure and loss
of charge protection. Includes lockout circuit built
into heat pump control that is resettable from room
thermostat.
Five Minute Compressor Time Delay
Provides short cycle protection for the compressor
which extends compressor life. Built into the electronic
heat pump control as standard.
Condensate Overow
Senses and provides system shut down if draining issue
causes water level to rise in the lower drain pan.
Low Ambient Control
The low ambient control permits cooling operation
down to 0°F outdoor ambient.
IMPORTANT INSTALLER NOTE
For improved start-up performance, wash the indoor
coil with a dishwasher detergent.
PHASE MONITOR
All units with three phase scroll 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 and the
compressor contactor is allowed to energize.
If phases are reversed, the red fault LED will be lit and
compressor operation is inhibited.
If a fault condition occurs, reverse two of the supply
leads to the unit. Do not reverse any of the unit factory
wires as damage may occur.
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.
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 rotation, as well as substantially
reduced current draw compared to tabulated values.
Verication of proper rotation must be made at the time
the equipment is put into service. If improper rotation
is corrected at this time there will be no negative impact
on the durability of the compressor. However, reverse
operation for even one hour may have a negative
impact on the bearing due to oil pump out.
All three phase scroll compressors used in the I-TEC
series 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. The direction of rotation of the motor may be
changed by reversing any two line connections to the unit.
SERVICE HINTS
1.
Caution user to maintain clean air lters at all
times. Also, not to needlessly close off supply air
registers. This may reduce airow through the
system, which shortens equipment service life as
well as increasing operating costs and noise levels.
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 coils to permit
full and unrestricted airow circulation is essential.
6. Annual maintenance is required to make sure
that all of the systems are functioning properly.
a. Check to make sure that the drains are not
obstructed in any way.
b. Remove any debris in the condenser section
of the unit.
c. Inspect and wash outdoor coils as necessary.
7. All motors are sealed and require no oiling.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
PRESSURE SERVICE PORTS
COOLING PART LOAD – Circuit R-Y1 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 FULL LOAD – Circuit R-Y1 & Y2
makes at the thermostat energizing the 2nd stage
solenoid in the compressor. The default position of
the compressor staging solenoid is non-energized. The
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-Y1 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-Y1 circuit, pulling in
compressor contactor starting compressor and outdoor
motor. R-G also make starting indoor blower motor.
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. It is imperative to match
the correct pressure table to the unit by model number.
Upper and lower service doors must be attached to
obtain proper reading.
HEATING STAGE 2 – Circuit R-Y1 & Y2 makes at
the thermostat energizing the 2nd stage solenoid in the
compressor.
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. See Figure 14.
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. Factory default setting is 90
minutes.
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. All models are shipped
from the factory on the 90-minute pin. If special
circumstances require a change to another time, remove
the wire from the 90-minute terminal and reconnect to
the desired terminal.
The manufacturer’s recommendation is for 90-minute
defrost cycles. Refer to Figure 14.
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 15 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.
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 condition
created by operating in the cooling mode with outdoor
fan off. Pressure will rise rapidly 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 Heat Pump Control to protect the compressor
from short cycling conditions. The board’s LED will have a
fast blink rate when in the compressor time delay function.
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.

VENTILATOR SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The I-TEC Commercial Room Ventilator (CRV) is
designed to be used with all Bard I-TEC models. The
only intent of this device is to provide the required
ventilation by delivering fresh air to meet I.A.Q. (Indoor
Air Quality) requirements. In the installed application,
this system also includes exhaust provisions which
are balanced with the intake air to maintain building
pressurization requirements of ASHRAE 62.1 Standard.
Ventilation is accomplished with (2) blower/
motor assemblies for maximum ventilation at low
sound levels. The intake and exhaust blowers are
programmed independently and are balanced to
maintain a slight positive pressurization in accordance
to ASHRAE 62.1 Standard.
The I-TEC CRV is also provided with lters to reduce
the required service needed and to further improve the
I.A.Q. The exhaust air blowers and intake air blowers
are protected by two (2) throw away lters. Both are
accessible without the need for tools.
CONTROL WIRING
The I-TEC CRV comes wired from the factory set to
450 CFM of ventilation. Care must be taken when
deciding how to control the operation of the ventilator.
When designing the control circuit for the ventilator, the
following requirements must be met.
1.
The indoor blower must be run whenever the I-TEC
CRV is run.
2.
Select and congure the correct CFM ventilation
level that the I-TEC CRV needs to operate and
congure the system to this level following later
instructions within this section. Over ventilating
serves no useful purpose and signicantly affects
the overall efciency of the heat pump system.
System operating costs would also increase.
3. Run the I-TEC CRV only during periods when the
conditioned space is occupied. Running the
ventilation during unoccupied periods wastes
energy, decreases the expected life of the CRV,
and can result in large moisture buildup in the
structure. Running the CRV when the structure is
unoccupied allows moisture to build up in the
structure because there is little or no cooling load.
Thus, the air conditioner is not running enough to
remove the excess moisture being brought in. Use
a control system that in some way can control the
system based upon occupancy.
Operating the I-TEC CRV during unoccupied periods can
result in a build up of excess moisture in the structure.
RECOMMENDED CONTROL SEQUENCES
Several possible scenarios are listed below:
1. Use a programmable electronic thermostat with
auxiliary terminal to control the CRV based on
daily programmed occupance periods. Bard
markets and recommends Bard Part #8403-060
programmable electronic thermostat.
2.
temperature, humidity and occupancy control with
learning capability into a single device. No programming required.
3.
upon a room occupancy schedule to control the CRV.
4.
lights in a room are usually on only when occupied.
5. Use a manual timer that the occupants turn to
energize the CRV for a specic number of hours.
6. Use a programmable mechanical timer to energize
the CRV and indoor blower during occupied
periods of the day.
NOTE: The ventilation package comes with a blower
interlock function, but is disabled when it is shipped from
the factory in case you do not utilize a thermostat with an
occupancy output, or a occupancy sensor and must tie “A”
terminal to “G” terminal to drive the ventilation package. If
you do have a thermostat or control that does drive occupancy
output, you will need to remove the tape from the orange wire
located in the low voltage terminal box, and connect it to the
“G” terminal to activate this function. (See Figures 11-13.)
SETTING THE VENTILATION CFM LEVELS
The I-TEC CRV has four pre-set levels of ventilation
CFM available. These are 300, 375, 450 and 525 CFM
of ventilation air. The I-TEC CRV is shipped from the
factory set on the 450 CFM ventilation level. To change
between these four different levels of provided ventilation
CFM, rst refer to Figure 15 to look up the corresponding
CFM needed for the intake and exhaust blowers to meet
the design criteria and determine which “speed/wire
color” is needed. Then, perform the following steps.
1.
front door latches).
2. Throw main power disconnect to the “OFF”
position to eliminate risk of injury or death due to
electrical shock.
3. Remove six (6) screws holding front CRV door in
place (See Figure 16).
4. Locate “Brown Wire with White Trace” that has
a black terminal on the end where it connects to
the terminal strip (See Figure 15).
5. Move “Brown Wire with White Trace” to the
corresponding CFM level needed in accordance
with Figure 15.

1. Inspect and conduct the same procedures as
outlined under Quarterly Maintenance.
2. To maintain peak latent (moisture) removal
capacity, it is recommended that the energy
recovery wheels be sprayed with a diluted nonacid
based evaporator coil cleaner or alkaline detergent
solution such as 409.
NOTE: Do not use acid based cleaners, aromatic
solvents, temperatures in excess of 170° F or
steam. Damage to the wheel may result.
Do not disassemble and immerse the entire
heat wheel in a soaking solution, as bearing
and other damage may result.
3. Rinse wheel thoroughly after application of the
cleaning solution, and allow to drain before
reinstalling.
4. No re-lubrication is required to heat wheel bearings
of the drive motor, or to the intake and exhaust
blower motors.
5. If any belt chirping or squealing noise is present,
apply a small amount of LPS-1 or equivalent dry
lm lubricant to the belt.

TROUBLESHOOTING
SOLID STATE HEAT PUMP CONTROL
TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE
1. NOTE: A thorough understanding of the defrost
cycle sequence is essential. Review that section
earlier in this manual prior to troubleshooting the
control. Turn on AC power supply to unit.
2. Turn thermostat blower switch to “fan on” – the
indoor blower should start. (If it doesn’t,
troubleshoot indoor unit and correct problem.)
3. Turn thermostat blower to “auto” position. Indoor
blower should stop.
4. Set system switch to “heat” or “cool”. Adjust
thermostat to call for heat or cool. The indoor
blower, compressor and outdoor fan should start.
NOTE: If there was no power to 24 volt transformer,
the compressor and outdoor fan motor will
not start for 5 minutes. This is because of
the compressor short cycle protection.

UNEXPECTED RESULTS.
1. In normal operation, this motor may rock back and
forth on start up. Do not replace if this is the only
symptom identied.
2. If the system is operating properly, but the motor
appears to run slower than it should, the motor is
good. High efciency systems with optimized fan
blades are engineered to run slow to decrease
noise. The Bard I-TEC Series models also adjust
fan speed based upon varied outdoor ambient
conditions to optimize sound and unit efciency.
3. If the system is noisy, freezing up, running a high
head pressure, tripping the high pressure switch or
compressor overload, check the following:
a. Ensure cleanliness of condenser coil(s) and
fan blade/shroud.
b. Conrm the fan blade is not bent or deformed,
isn’t rubbing on the shroud, and that it is tight
on the motor shaft. Also ensure the motor is
secure in its mounting system, and the
mounting system is secure to the unit.
c. The Bard I-TEC is equipped with a low
ambient control pressure switch. This pressure
switch completes the 24VAC Common feed to
the outdoor fan motor control in cooling mode.
If this switch is defective, or if the outdoor air
temperature is too cold to raise the head pressure
to the 325# switch closing set-point, or the
system charge is too low, this could be the cause

d. If motor is not running, go to next section.
4. If the motor does not appear to be running at the

section for voltage checks to determine if the motor
is getting the proper input signals.
If the motor IS NOT receiving any communication,
troubleshoot the communication issue using the

If the board is reading a fan temperature thermistor
value of 3375Ω or less (equivalent to 125°F or an "open"
sensor), the fan will operate at the highest speed setting
(energizes "W" and "Y" outputs on the board).
If the board is reading a fan temperature value of
118,110Ω or greater (equivalent to -10°F or a "shorted"
sensor), the fan will operate at the highest speed setting
(energizes "W" and "Y" outputs on the board).
If the low ambient switch is open, the red light will not
be illuminated and the "BR" terminal will show open.
The "BR" terminal is the "24 volt common" switching

factory programmed for specic operating modes. Even though they look
alike, different modules may have completely different functionality.
USING THE WRONG CONTROL MODULE VOIDS ALL PRODUCT
WARRANTIES AND MAY PRODUCE UNEXPECTED RESULTS.
2. Begin by removing AC power from the unit being serviced. DO NOT
WORK ON THE MOTOR WITH AC POWER APPLIED. To avoid
electric shock from the motor’s capacitors, disconnect power and wait at
least 5 minutes before opening motor.
3. It is not necessary to remove the motor from the blower assembly, nor
the blower assembly from the unit. Unplug the two cable connectors to the
motor control assembly. There are latches on each connector. DO NOT PULL ON THE WIRES. The plugs remove easily when properly released.
4. Locate the screws that retain to t
metal of the unit and remove them. Remove two (2) nuts that retain
the control to the bracket and then remove two (2) nuts that retain sheet
metal motor control end plate. Refer to Figure 18.
5. Disconnect the three (3) wires interior of the motor control by using
your thumb and forenger squeezing the latch tab and the opposite side
of the connector plug, gently pulling the connector. DO NOT PULL ON
THE WIRES, GRIP THE PLUG ONLY. Refer to Figure 18.
6. The control module is now completely detached from the motor.
Verify with a standard ohmmeter that the resistance from each motor
lead (in the motor plug just removed) to the motor shell is >100K ohms.
Refer to Figure 19. (Measure to unpainted motor end plate.) If any
motor lead fails this test, do not proceed to install the control module.
THE MOTOR IS DEFECTIVE AND MUST BE REPLACED.
Installing the new control module will cause it to fail also.

7. Verify that the replacement control is correct for your application.
Refer to the manufacturer’s authorized replacement list. USING THE
WRONG CONTROL WILL RESULT IN IMPROPER OR NO
BLOWER OPERATION. Orient the control module so that the 3-wire
motor plug can be inserted into the socket in the control. Carefully insert
the plug and press it into the socket until it latches. A SLIGHT CLICK
WILL BE HEARD WHEN PROPERLY INSERTED.
8. Reverse the steps #5, 4, 3 to reconnect the motor control to the
motor wires, securing the motor control cover plate, mounting the
control to the bracket, and mounting the motor control bracket back
into the unit. MAKE SURE THE ORIENTATION YOU SELECT
FOR REPLACING THE CONTROL ASSURES THE CONTROL’S
CABLE CONNECTORS WILL BE LOCATED DOWNWARD
IN THE APPLICATION SO THAT WATER CANNOT RUN
DOWN THE CABLES AND INTO THE CONTROL. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN THE BOLTS.
9. Plug the 16-pin control plug into the motor. The plug is keyed.
Make sure the connector is properly seated and latched.
10. Plug the 5-pin power connector into the motor. Even though the
plug is keyed, OBSERVE THE PROPER ORIENTATION. DO NOT FORCE THE CONNECTOR. It plugs in very easily when properly
oriented. REVERSING THIS PLUG WILL CAUSE IMMEDIATE
FAILURE OF THE CONTROL MODULE.
Final installation check. Make sure the motor is installed as follows:
11.
a. Motor connectors should be oriented between the 4 o’clock
and 8 o’clock positions when the control is positioned in its
nal location and orientation.
b. Add a drip loop to the cables so that water cannot enter the
motor by draining down the cables. Refer to Figure 20.
The installation is now complete. Reapply the AC power to the HVAC
equipment and verify that the new motor control module is working
properly. Follow the manufacturer’s procedures for disposition of the
old control module.
The position of the fan blade should be ush with the
leaving face of the orice plate. Check to make sure
the blades do not extend beyond the rear casing of the
unit. Spin the blade by hand to make sure it does not
hit the ring.

REFRIGERANT CHARGE
This unit was charged at the factory with the quantity
of refrigerant listed on the serial plate. AHRI capacity
and efciency ratings were determined by testing with
this refrigerant charge quantity. The following pressure tables (Tables 10A & 10B and 11A & 11B) show
nominal pressures and temperatures for the units. Since
many installation specic situations can affect the pressure readings, this information should only be used by
certied technicians as a guide for evaluating proper
system performance. They shall not be used to adjust
charge. If charge is in doubt, reclaim, evacuate and
recharge the unit to the serial plate charge.
