GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
The equipment covered in this manual is to be installed by
trained, experienced service and installation technicians.
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 ducts, must be
properly sized for the design air flow requirement of the
equipment. 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.
SHIPPING DAMAGE
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 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 and any instructions packaged with any
separate equipment required to make up the entire heat
pump 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.
FIELD INSTALLED HEATER PACKAGES
(OPTIONAL)
These packaged heat pumps are manufactured without
supplementary electric heaters. Supplementary heaters are
available for simple, fast field installation.
A separate power circuit is required for the supplementary
heaters.
IMPORTANT: Refer to Table 1 when designing duct work
for maximum available static pressure with heater installed.
Refer to electrical data shown in Tables 3 and 4 for proper
application information on all available heater
combinations and what units they can be used with. It also
shows the applicable circuit ampacities, fuse size, and wire
size for each heater combination.
These instructions explain the recommended method to
install the air cooled self-contained unit and the electrical
wiring connections to the unit.
S=Standard application – heater voltage and phase same as basic unit.
A=Alternate application – heater voltage and phase different from basic unit.
NA=Not approved.

INSTALLATION
LOCATION
GENERAL
The unit must be located outside, or in a well ventilated
area. It must not be in the space being heated or cooled. A
sound absorbing material should be considered if the unit is
to be installed in such a position or location that might
cause transmission of sound or vibration to the living area
or adjacent buildings.
SLAB MOUNTING
In areas where winter temperatures DO NOT go below
32°F for periods over twelve hours, the unit may be slab
mounted at grade level. When installing unit at grade level,
install on a concrete slab at least four inches above finished
grade level. Slab should have a slope tolerance away from
the building structure of at lease ¼ inch per foot, while
being level from side to side. This will prevent ice buildup
under the unit during defrost cycles. Place slab in a
location where runoff water from higher ground will not
collect around unit. See Figure 2.
A minimum of 18 inches should be provided between the
coil inlet and any building surfaces. Provide at least four
feet between coil outlet and any building wall, fences or
other vertical structures. Provide a minimum of three feet
clearance on the service access side of the unit. See
Figure 3.
ROOF MOUNTING
When a unit is installed in areas where low ambient
temperatures or strong winter winds exist, it should be
placed so prevailing winter winds are not in direct line with
the heat pump coil. If this is not possible, a wind barrier
should be constructed. Place barrier 24 inches from the
coil inlet side of the unit and in the direction of prevailing
winds. Size barrier at least the same height and width as
the unit. This may be necessary on ground level
installations, also. See Figure 4.
TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS
1.
ROOF MOUNTED
base on the roof of the building. Return air to the unit
is brought through a single return grille (grilles with
built-in filters are best since they enable easy access for
filter changing). Return air ducts are attached to the
lower section of the front panel. Supply air is brought
from the unit to attic duct work or to a furred down
hall. Supply air duct is attached to the top of the front
panel.
CAUTION: All outdoor duct work must be thoroughly
insulated and weatherproofed. All attic duct work
must be thoroughly insulated. 2-inch thick
insulation with suitable vapor barrier is
recommended for both outdoor and attic runs.
In roof top installation, as in all installations, the heat
pump must be level from side-to-side. However, the
unit should have a pitch along the length to assure
complete external drainage of precipitation and of
defrost condensate. See Figures 6 and 7, and Tables 6
and 7.
CRAWL SPACE
2.
space must be well insulated and provided with a vapor
barrier. In addition, the crawl space must be
thoroughly ventilated and provided with a good vapor
barrier as a ground cover. It is most desirable to install
the unit outdoors rather than inside the crawl space, so
that it will be readily accessible for service. In
addition, it is necessary to dispose of the condensate
from the outdoor coil on the heating cycle, and this is
virtually impossible with the unit installed inside the
crawl space.
SLAB MOUNTED AT GROUND LEVEL

type installation is ideal for homes with a slab floor
construction where a roof mounted unit is not desired.
The supply and return duct work can be run through a
furred closet space.

WINTER INSTALLATION BELOW 32°F
In areas where winter conditions go below 32°F for
extended periods, the unit must be elevated above the
mounting surface to prevent snowfall or defrost ice
accumulation from interfering with the operation of the
unit. A minimum of twelve inches elevation is
recommended, while greater elevation may be required for
areas of high snow accumulation. Poured concrete, steel
framework, brick, cement block, etc., can be utilized to
construct a suitable raised mounting platform. See
Figure 5.

requires a suitable framework to be fabricated capable
of withstanding the unit weight. Normally the unit will
be insulated so as to minimize supply and return duct
work.

– Many other
installations are possible with the packaged heat
pump. No matter what the installation, always
consider the following facts:
A. Insure that the discharge air is not obstructed in
any way so as to cause operation difficulties.
B. The indoor coil drain pan is equipped with a
coupling that must be piped through a condensate
drain trap to a suitable drain.
C. Always mount the unit in such a position that it
may be easily reached for servicing and
maintenance.
D. Insure that the unit is clear so that proper airflow
over the outdoor coil will be maintained.
If this unit is operated in cooling below a 65° outdoor
ambient temperature, the installation of low ambient
controls (CMA-6) to unit is required.
CONDENSATE DRAIN TRAP
It is very important to provide a trap in the condensate
drain line to allow a positive liquid seal in the line and
assure correct drainage from the coil condensate pan.
Install condensate drain trap shown in Figure 8. Use drain
connection size or larger. Do not operate unit without
trap. Unit must be level or slightly inclined toward drain.
With a trap installed on a unit located in an unconditioned
area, water in the trap may freeze. It is recommended that
the trap material be of a type that will allow for expansion
of water when it freezes.
AIR FILTERS
Air filters for the return air side of the system are not
provided as part of the various types of applications for
these models, and must be field supplied and installed as
part of the final installation.
Prior thought should be given to return air location and
placement of the air filter(s). The air filter(s) must be of
adequate size and readily accessible to the operator of the
equipment. Filters must be adequate in size and properly
maintained for proper operation. If this is not done,
excessive energy use, poor performance, and multiple
service problems will result. It is impossible to oversize airfilters. Generous sizing will result in cleaner air and coils
as well as lower operating costs and extend the time
between required changes. Table 8 shows minimum filter
areas and recommended filter sizes. Actual filter sizes can
vary with the installation due to single or multiple returns
utilizing a filter/grille arrangement or being placed
immediately ahead of the indoor coil face in the return air
duct.

WIRING – MAIN POWER
Refer to the unit rating plate for wire sizing information
and maximum fuse size. Each outdoor unit is marked with
a “Minimum Circuit Ampacity”. This means that the field
wiring used must be sized to carry that amount of current.
If field installed heaters are added to the basic unit, a
second separate power supply circuit will be required. The
heater rating plate located adjacent to the basic unit rating
plate will show the appropriate circuit ampacity fuse size,
etc. (Also see “Electrical Data” on pages 3, 4 and 5.) All
models are suitable for connection with copper wire only.
These instructions must be adhered to. Refer to the
National Electrical Code for complete current carrying
capacity data on the various insulation grades of wiring
material.
LOW VOLTAGE WIRING
The unit rating plate lists a “Maximum Time Delay 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.
WIRING – 24V LOW VOLTAGE
CONTROL CIRCUIT
Nine (9) wires should be run from thermostat subbase to
the 24V terminal board in the unit. A nine conductor,
18 gauge copper, color-coded thermostat cable is
recommended. The connection points are shown in
Figure 9.

THERMOSTAT INDICATOR LAMPS
The red lamp marked “EM. HT.” comes on and stays on
whenever the system switch is placed in Em. Ht. position.
The green lamp marked “Check” will come on if there is
any problem that prevents the compressor from running
when it is supposed to be.
EMERGENCY HEAT POSITION
The operator of the equipment must manually place the
system switch in this position. This is done when there is a
known problem with the outdoor section, or when the green
“Check” lamp comes on indicating a problem.
TRANSFORMER TAPS
230/208V, 1 phase and 3 phase equipment employ dual
primary voltage transformers. All equipment leaves the
factory wired on 240V tap. For 208V operation, reconnect
from 240V to 208V tap. The acceptable operating voltage
range for the 240 and 208V taps are:
TAPRANGE
240253 – 216
208220 – 187
NOTE: The voltage should be measured at the field power
connection point in the unit and while the unit is
operating at full load (maximum amperage
operating condition).
COMPRESSOR CUTOFF THERMOSTAT
and OUTDOOR THERMOSTAT WIRING
Heat pump compressor operation at outdoor temperatures
below 0°F are neither desirable not advantageous in terms
of efficiency. Since most equipment at time of
manufacture is not designated for any specific destination
of the country and most of the equipment is installed in
areas not approaching the lower outdoor temperature range,
the compressor cutoffs are not factory installed.
Outdoor thermostats are available to hold off various banks
of electric heat until needed as determined by outdoor
temperature. The set point of either type of thermostat is
variable with geographic region and sizing of the heating
equipment to the structure. Utilization of the Heating
Application Data and the heat loss calculation of the
building are useful in determining the correct set points.
Refer to Installation Instructions of CMH-14 Outdoor
Thermostat Kit for more information.

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, verification of
proper rotation must be made. Verification 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.
Verification 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 over one hour may have a negative impact on
the bearing due to oil pump out.
NOTE: If compressor is allowed to run in reverse rotation
for several minutes the compressor’s internal
protector will trip.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
COOLING
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.
HEATING
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-W1 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
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 heat completes R-Y circuit, pulling
in compressor contactor starting compressor and outdoor
motor. R-G also make starting indoor blower motor.
– Circuit R-Y makes at thermostat pulling in
– A 24V solenoid coil on reversing valve
All three phase ZR*3 compressors are wired identically
internally. As a result, once the correct phasing is
determined for a specific system or installation, connecting
properly phased power leads to the same Fusite terminals
should maintain proper rotation direction.
The direction of rotation of the motor may be changed by
reversing any two line connections to the unit.

DEFROST CYCLE
The defrost cycle is controlled by temperature and time on
the solid state heat pump control. See Figure 12.
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
sensor mounted near the bottom of the outdoor coil. Once
coil temperature reaches 30°F or below, the coil sends a
signal to the control logic of the heat pump control and the
defrost timer will start.
There is a cycle speed up jumper on the control. This can
be used to reduce the time between defrost cycle operation
without waiting for time to elapse.
Use a small screwdriver or other metallic object, or another
1/4 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 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.
After 30 minutes 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 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 10 minutes.
There are three settings on the heat pump control – 30, 60
and 90 minutes. Models are shipped wired on the 60-minute
setting for greatest operating economy. If special
circumstances require a change to another time, remove wire
connected to terminal 60 and reconnect to desired terminal.
Refer to Figure 12. The manufacturer’s recommendation is
for 60-minute defrost cycles.
FIGURE 12
HEAT PUMP CONTROL BOARD
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
maximum 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 1/4
inch QC terminal works best) the defrost sensor mounted
on the outdoor coils is shunted out and 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 in 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 the 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 artificial test condition.
There is also a 5-minute compressor time delay function
built into the HPC. This is to
protect the compressor from
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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
SOLID STATE HEAT PUMP CONTROL
TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE
1. 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 switch to Auto position.
Indoor blower should stop.
1. Caution homeowner to maintain clean air filters at all
times. Also, not to needlessly close off supply and
return air registers. This reduces airflow 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 manual
reset 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 that
they are the correct rating.
SERVICE
TABLE 13
REFRIGERANT CHARGE
5. Periodic cleaning of the outdoor coil to permit full and
unrestricted airflow circulation is essential.
PRESSURE SERVICE PORTS
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 in Tables 16
through 23 in this 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.
REFRIGERANT CHARGE
The correct system R-22 charge is shown on the unit rating
plate. Optimum unit performance will occur with a
refrigerant charge resulting in a suction line temperature
(6" from compressor) as shown in Table 13.
The above suction line temperatures are based upon
80°F dry bulb/67°F wet bulb (50% RH) temperature and
rated airflow across the evaporator during cooling cycle.
FAN BLADE SETTINGS
Shown in Figure 13 are the correct fan blade setting
dimensions for proper air delivery across the outdoor coil.
Any service work requiring removal or adjustment in the
fan and/or motor area will require that the dimensions in
Table 14 be checked and blade adjusted in or out on the
motor shaft accordingly.

SUCTION AND DISCHARGE TUBE
BRAZING
Compliant Scroll compressors have copper plated steel
suction and discharge tubes. These tubes are far more
rugged and less prone to leaks than copper tubes used on
other compressors. Due to different thermal properties of
steel and copper, brazing procedures may have to be
changed from those commonly used.
•
To disconnect: heat joint Areas 2 and 3 slowly and
uniformly until braze material softens and the tube can
be pulled out of suction fitting. (See Figure 14.)
•
To connect:
– Recommended brazing materials: silfos with
minimum 5% silver or silver braze material with
flux.
BRAZING DIAGRAM
– Reinsert tube into fitting.
– Heat tube uniformly in Area 1 moving slowly to
Area 2. When joint reaches brazing temperature,
apply brazing material. (See Figure 14.)
– Heat joint uniformly around the circumference to

TROUBLESHOOTING GE ECM
™
MOTORS CONT’D.
Replacing ECM Control Module
To replace the control module for the GE variable-speed indoor blower
motor you need to take the following steps:
1. You MUST have the correct replacement module. The controls are
factory programmed for specific 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 furnace or air handler being
serviced. DO NOT WORK ON THE MOTOR WITH AC POWERAPPLIED. To avoid electric shock from the motor’s capacitors, disconnect
power and wait at least 5 minutes before opening motor.
3. It is usually not necessary to remove the motor from the blower
assembly. However, it is recommended that the whole blower assembly,
with the motor, be removed from the furnace/air handler. (Follow the
manufacturer’s procedures). Unplug the two cable connectors to the motor.
There are latches on each connector. DO NOT PULL ON THE WIRES.
The plugs remove easily when properly released.
4. Locate the two standard ¼" hex head bolts at the rear of the control
housing (at the back end of the control opposite the shaft end). Refer toFigure 15. Remove these two bolts from the motor and control assembly
while holding the motor in a way that will prevent the motor or control
from falling when the bolts are removed. If an ECM2.0 control is being
replaced (recognized by an aluminum casting rather that a deep-drawn
black steel can housing the electronics), remove only the hex-head bolts.
DO NOT REMOVE THE TORX-HEAD SCREWS.
5. The control module is now free of mechanical attachment to the
motor endshield but is still connected by a plug and three wires inside
the control. Carefully rotate the control to gain access to the plug at
the control end of the wires. With thumb and forefinger, reach the
latch holding the plug to the control and release it by squeezing the
latch tab and the opposite side of the connector plug and gently pulling
the plug out of the connector socket in the control. DO NOT PULL
ON THE WIRES. GRIP THE PLUG ONLY.
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 16. (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. Finish installing the replacement control per one of the
three following paragraphs, 8a, 8b or 8c.
8a. IF REPLACING AN ECM 2.0 CONTROL (control in cast
aluminum can with air vents on the back of the can) WITH AN ECM
2.3 CONTROL (control containing black potting for water protection in
black deep-drawn steel case with no vents in the bottom of the can),
locate the two through-bolts and plastic tab that are packed with the
replacement control. Insert the plastic tab into the slot at the perimeter
of the open end of the can so that the pin is located on the inside of the
perimeter of the can. Rotate the can so that the tab inserts into the tab
locater hole in the endshield of the motor. Using the two through-bolts
provided with the replacement control, reattach the can to the motor.
THE TWO THROUGH-BOLTS PROVIDED WITH THE
REPLACEMENT ECM 2.3 CONTROL ARE SHORTER THAN
THE BOLTS ORIGINALLY REMOVED FROM THE ECM 2.0
CONTROL AND MUST BE USED IF SECURE ATTACHMENT
OF THE CONTROL TO THE MOTOR IS TO BE ACHIEVED.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BOLTS.
8b. IF REPLACING AN ECM 2.3 CONTROL WITH AN ECM
2.3 CONTROL, the plastic tab and shorter through-bolts are not needed.The control can be oriented in two positions 180° apart. 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. Simply orient the new control to the motor's
endshield, insert bolts, and tighten. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE
BOLTS.
8c. IF REPLACING AN ECM 2.0 CONTROL WITH AN ECM
2.0 CONTROL (It is recommended that ECM 2.3 controls be used for
all replacements), the new control must be attached to the motor using
through bolts identical to those removed with the original control. DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BOLTS.
9. Reinstall the blower/motor assembly into the HVAC equipment.
Follow the manufacturer's suggested procedures.
10. Plug the 16-pin control plug into the motor. The plug is keyed.
Make sure the connector is properly seated and latched.
11. Plug the 5-pin power connector into the motor. Even though the
plug is keyed, OBSERVE THE PROPER ORIENTATION. DONOT FORCE THE CONNECTOR. It plugs in very easily when
properly oriented. REVERSING THIS PLUG WILL CAUSE
IMMEDIATE FAILURE OF THE CONTROL MODULE.
12. Final installation check. Make sure the motor is installed as follows:
a. Unit is as far INTO the blower housing as possible.
b. Belly bands are not on the control module or covering vent holes.
c. Motor connectors should be oriented between the 4 o’clock and
8 o’clock positions when the blower is positioned in its final
location and orientation.
d.Add a drip loop to the cables so that water cannot enter the
motor by draining down the cables. Refer to Figure 17.
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.
