SHIPPING DAMAGE
Upon receipt of equipment, the carton should be checked for external signs of shipping damage. The skid must remain attached to the unit 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 and remove from the skid. Check unit wheels to ensure that wheels are locked before removing from skid. Extreme caution must be taken to prevent injury to personnel and damage to the unit.
FIGURE 2
AIR SEAL UNDER Q-TEC UNIT
Air Seal
It is recommended that the unit not be removed from the skid with a forklift since the air seal under the unit could be damaged. See Figure 2.
The shipping brackets on each side of the unit must be removed and discarded. See Figure 3-A. The return air grille panel can be removed to provide a place to hold the unit. The unit can be slid forward on the skid until the front wheels hang over the edge of the skid.
FIGURE 3
REMOVAL OF UNIT FROM SKID
See Figure 3-B. The unit can be tipped forward and slid down the edge of the skid until the front wheels touch the ground. See Figure 3-C. The wheels will not roll. They are shipped from the factory locked so they will not roll. The back of the skid will have to be held down to keep it from tipping up. The skid can be slid out from under the unit. The unit can then be set upright.

HANDLING UNIT AFTER REMOVAL FROM SKID
WARNING
Exercise extreme caution when pushing the unit on the rollers. Handle and push from the lower 1/3 of the unit. Insure that debris is not
on the oor where the unit is to be moved on
the rollers. Failure to do so could result in the unit tipping over and causing bodily injury and/ or damage to the unit.
See Figure 4. The blade of the appliance cart should be slid under the wheels of the unit. The strap of the appliance cart should be placed around the unit and strapped tightly. Help will be required to tip the unit back onto the cart. The unit can be leaned far enough back to be rolled through the door. Be careful when setting the unit back up to keep from damaging the unit.
GENERAL
The equipment covered in this manual is to be installed by trained, experienced service and installation technicians.
The unit will have to be turned sideways and removed from the skid to fit through a 36" doorway. If the door height allows, the unit can be slid sideways through the door.
If the unit can not be slid through the door, then the unit will have to be put on a cart and tipped down to roll through the door. It is recommended that an appliance cart by used with a strap to hold the unit on the cart. The wheels of the unit must be locked. If the wheels were allowed to roll, the unit could roll off the cart. The unit should always be carted from the left side. This is the side where the compressor is located.
FIGURE 4
UNIT ON APPLIANCE CART
Q-TEC UNIT
(Right Side)
STRAP
The unit is designed for use with or without duct work. For use without duct work, Plenum Box QPB42 is recommended.
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 “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 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, installer should adhere to local codes.

MINIMUM INSTALLATION HEIGHT
The minimum installation height of the unit with a Free Blow Plenum is 8 ft. 6 in. This provides enough clearance for the plenum to be removed. See Figure 5.
The minimum installation height for ducted applications is 8 ft. 4½ in. This provides enough clearance to install the duct work. See Figure 6.

DUCTED APPLICATION
Manual 2100-603B Page 9 of 44
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 must be properly sized for the design airflow 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 Q-TEC series heat pump has provision to attach a supply air duct to the top of the unit. Duct connection size is 12 inches x 20 inches. The duct work is field supplied and must be attached in a manner to allow for ease of removal when it becomes necessary to slide the unit out from the wall for service. See Figure 7 for suggested attachment method.
FIGURE 7
SUPPLY DUCT CONNECTIONS
For hot water coil option a QPBHWxx-F for free blow or QPBHWxx-D for ducted airflow is used.
When used with a ducted supply, a QCX Cabinet Extension can be used to conceal the duct work above the unit to the ceiling. This extends 20" above the unit for a total height above the floor of 10'-7/8". 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 airflow up to the maximum ESP shown in Table 9. 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 1-inch throw away filters [(1) 16x16 and (1) 16x20] are supplied with each unit. The filters slide into filter brackets. Refer to Figure 8.
The filters are serviced from the inside of the building by opening the hinged door. This door is attached by one torx screw and one locking latch.
The internal filter brackets are adjustable to accommodate 2-inch filters. The tabs for the 1-inch filters must be bent down to allow the 2-inch filters to slide in place.

The Q-TEC series heat pumps are designed for use with free return (non-ducted) and either free blow with the use of QPB Plenum Box or a duct supply air system.
The QPB and QPBHW Plenum Box mounts on top of the unit and has both vertically and horizontally adjustable louvers on the front discharge grille.

FRESH AIR INTAKE
This unit is equipped with a fresh air damper assembly. The damper blade is locked in the closed position when the unit is shipped from the factory. To allow the damper to operate remove the two plastic locking pins, one on each end of the blade. This will allow for maximum fresh airflow. The damper blade will now open when the indoor blower is operating. If less than maximum fresh airflow is required, reinsert the plastic pins to limit damper blade opening to desired level. Two extra pins are provided (taped to the inside of the assembly) which may be used to hold the blade in some position other than minimum or maximum position. This fresh air assembly is located in the rear of the unit and to gain access to make these adjustments remove the air filter service door.
All capacity, efficiency and cost of operation information as required for Department of Energy “Energyguide” Fact Sheets are based upon the fresh air blank-off plate in place and is recommended for maximum energy efficiency.
The blank-off plate is available upon request from the factory and is installed in place of the fresh air damper shipped with each unit.
The rear drain can be used with wall thickness of up to 10 inches where a water trap can be installed between the unit and the interior wall. See Figure 10. The trap cannot extend beyond the edge of the unit or it will interfere with the wall mounting bracket. The drain can be routed through the floor or through the wall. If the drain is routed through the wall, the drain line must be positioned such that it will not interfere with the sleeve flange or the grille. See Figure 11. If the drain
is to be routed through an unconditioned space, it must be protected from freezing.
OPTIONAL REAR DRAIN KITS
Optional Rear Drain Kit, Bard Model QCDS48A, is also available for these products. The optional rear drain kit offers multiple benefits that include the following:
Allows unit to be rolled away from the sleeve without having to disconnect any hard plumbing connections.
Allows indoor coil condensate to be easily connected to Rear Drain Box while bypassing the outdoor coil drain pan. This aids in minimizing the potential for biological growth to occur by minimizing the standing water and exposing it to warm temperatures.
For details on energy recovery ventilation see separate section.

The unit is equipped with a service light, which signals the user that service is required. The light is located in the upper control panel and is visible only when the hinged service/filter access door is open.
The Service Unit light indicates that the unit has been shut off by a high or low pressure device. This indicates that the unit needs to be serviced.
CONDENSATE DRAIN
There are two drain connections on the unit. The rear drain is the primary drain, and is located on the right lower rear panel of the unit. The optional side drain is located on the bottom right side of the unit. The side drain is shipped with a plug installed.
The side drain requires a water trap for proper drainage. See Figure 9. The drain can be routed through the floor or through the wall. If the drain is to
be routed through an unconditioned space, it must be protected from freezing. The drain line must be able
to be removed from the unit if it is necessary to remove the unit from the wall. When the side drain is used, the plug must be removed and installed in the rear drain outlet.
See Figures 12A, 12B, 12C and 12D.
The drain box permanently mounts onto the wall sleeve and is then either piped directly outdoors, or can be piped vertically. The Q-TEC unit is then equipped with fittings on the rear of the unit that slide into the drain box as it is wheeled towards the wall sleeve.
NOTE: On models equipped with a refrigerant subcooler in the lower drain pan may experience a 2-3% decrease in cooling performance and efficiency when the indoor condensate is routed around the outdoor coil drain pan/subcooler assembly. Unit rated performance and efficiency are with the indoor condensate routed to the outdoor coil pan.
There is also a heated version of the rear drain box available (Model #QCDS48H) for installation in northern climates where freezing may occur. NOTE: Additional circuit needed for drain heater.

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE UNIT
When installing a Q-TEC unit near an interior wall on the left side, a minimum of 8 inches is required; 12 inches is preferred.
When installing a Q-TEC unit near an interior wall on the right side, a minimum of 18 inches is required as additional space is required to connect the side drain. If the rear condensate drain kit QCDS48 is used the minimum can be reduced to 8 inches.
This clearance is required to allow for the attachment of the unit to the sleeve and side trim pieces to the wall.
This unit is to be secured to the wall sleeve with mounting brackets provided. The unit itself, the supply duct and the free blow plenum are suitable of “0” clearance to combustible material.
Following are the steps for mounting the Q-TEC. For reference see Figure 13A for external mounting bracket or 13B for internal bolt secured bracket (recommended).
1. Attach mounting brackets to the wall sleeve with screws provided. Either use external mounting bracket (Fig. 13A) or internal bolt bracket (Fig. 13B).
2. Position the unit in front of the sleeve with the condenser section toward the sleeve.
3. Remove the locking screws from the wheels. Refer to Figure 14.
4. Roll the unit into the sleeve. Make sure to check both sides of the unit as it is being rolled to keep it
centered in the sleeve. Also check the alignment to the mounting brackets. This unit must be level from side to side. If adjustments are necessary, shim up under the rollers with sheets of steel or any substance that is not affected by moisture.
5. Make sure the gasket on the rear of the unit is touching the sleeve across the top and down both sides. This is a rain water seal.
6. Secure the mounting brackets to the unit with screws provided, #10 hex head sheet metal screws (Figure 13A) or use nut and washer to secure sleeve (Figure 13B).
7. Bottom trim extensions are provided for use when wall is less than 14 inches but greater than 10.5 inches. Secure to wall with screws (not provided).
8. Attach the bottom trim piece to the unit with the screws provided (dark colored).
9. Position side trim pieces to wall and attach with field supplied screws. There are two long pieces and two short pieces supplied. The long pieces are to enclose the gap behind the unit. The short pieces are to fill the gap behind the cabinet extension or the free blow plenum box. They may be cut to suit your ceiling height or overlap the unit side trim. There is sufficient length to trim up to a 10'2" ceiling.
NOTE: If the exterior wall thickness is between 5
inches to 10.5 inches, a side trim extension piece kit, model QSTX42, is available.

WIRING – MAIN POWER
Refer to the unit rating plate and/or Table 2 for wire sizing information and maximum fuse or circuit breaker size. Each unit is marked with a “Minimum Circuit Ampacity”. This means that the field wiring used must be sized to carry that amount of current. Depending on the installed KW of electric heat, there may be two field 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 field power circuits required for the various models with heaters.
The unit rating plate lists a “Maximum Time Delay Relay Fuse” or 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.
See “Start Up” section for information on three phase scroll compressor start-ups.

OPTIONAL CLIMATE CONTROLS SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
The standard Climate Control Option X is a remote thermostat connection terminal block. See Figure 17 or Figure 18 for wiring diagram. Compatible thermostats are listed in Table 4.
The Climate Control Option E is an electronic, programmable thermostat with humidistat. The subbase of the thermostat is factory wired to the front panel of the unit. See Figure 19 for wiring diagram. Compatible for use with Energy Recovery Ventilator. This unit has a refrigerant reheat circuit that is controlled by a 3 way valve.
When the humidity is above the setpoint of the humidistat, the compressor circuit and the 3 way valve are energized and the evaporator airflow is reduced. The 3 way valve directs hot discharge gas into a separate desuperheating condenser circuit that reheats the conditioned air before it is delivered to the room. When the humidistat is satisfied, the system switches back to normal air conditioning mode.
If the thermostat calls for cooling during dehumidification mode, the call for cooling takes precedence over the dehumidification and the unit will cool until the thermostat is satisfied. Once the call for cooling is satisfied, the unit may continue to dehumidify.
LOWER CONTROL PANEL
If the thermostat calls for heat when the unit is in the dehumidification mode, the electric heaters will energize and the evaporator airflow will return to the heating airflow. When the thermostat is satisfied, the electric heaters will turn off and the airflow will be reduced and the system will continue to dehumidify until humidistat is satisfied.
Manual 2100-603B Page 19 of 44
If the unit is running in heat pump mode and the humidistat calls for dehumidification, the dehumidification mode takes precedence over the heat pump heating mode. The unit will not return to the heating mode until 2nd stage heating is called for.
The Climate Control Option I is an electronic, programmable thermostat with humidistat and a CO controller. The subbase of the thermostat and CO

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. If done correctly, topping off the system charge can be done without problems.
With R-410A, there are no significant 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 pressure 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 damage, 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 flammable.
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 fill 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 significantly at warmer temperatures. Once a cylinder or line is full of liquid, any further rise in temperature will cause it to burst.

OPTIONAL CFM (Q36H2D, Q42H2D, Q48H2D AND Q60H2D ONLY)
These units are shipped from the factory set to operate at the optional CFM level shown in Table 9. This provides lower operating sound levels for non-ducted, free discharge applications. This CFM level will reduce the system capacity performance by approximately 2% at the same energy efficiency.
Rated CFM is required for ducted applications for maximum performance rating. To obtain full CFM on these models, connect jumper wire as follows:
1. Disconnect all power to the unit. Failure to do so may result in damage to the motor.
2. Open return air service panel
3. Open inner control panel cover
4. Locate low voltage terminal strip. There is a pink jumper wire with both ends attached to terminal marked “G2”. Move one end of this jumper to terminal “Y”.
5. Reverse steps to reassemble.
IMPORTANT INSTALLER NOTE
For improved start-up performance, wash the indoor coil with a dishwasher detergent.

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, 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 even one hour may have a negative impact on the bearing due to oil pump out.
All three phase scroll compressors used in the Q-TEC series 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 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 filters at all times. Also, not to needlessly close off supply air registers. This may reduce airflow 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 coil to permit full and unrestricted airflow circulation is essential.
6. Some service requires the need to remove the unit from the wall including replacement of the indoor coil and/or the outdoor coil. Also servicing the outdoor fan motor or fan blade will require removing the unit from the wall if the unit is installed at a height that is not easily accessible from the outside of the building.
In order to remove the unit from the wall the
following procedure must be used:
a. Turn off power to the unit at the remote
location. Some units may have more than one power supply.
b. Disconnect field wiring at unit terminal block
and remove from unit.
c. Disconnect condensate drain.
d. Remove the lower skirting around the unit.
7. Annual maintenance is required to ensure 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 clean mist eliminator as described
below.
d. Inspect and wash outdoor coil as necessary.
MIST ELIMINATOR SERVICE
A mist eliminator is supplied with the wall sleeve. The mist eliminator is constructed of an aluminum frame and mesh. The mist eliminator is located in the top section of the wall sleeve and can be removed from the inside of the building without removing the unit from the wall. This requires that the ventilation package must be removed.
It is recommended that the mist eliminator be inspected annually and serviced as required. The mist eliminator can be inspected from the outside of the building by looking through the outdoor grille. The mist eliminator can be serviced from the outside by using a vacuum cleaner. The outdoor grille must be removed. Use the vacuum to remove dirt and debris from the surface of the mist eliminator. If additional cleaning is required, the mist eliminator will have to be removed from the sleeve.
The ventilation package will have to be removed to gain access to the mist eliminator. If the blank off plate option is used, it is not necessary to service the mist eliminator. The steps necessary to remove each of the vent options are listed below.
The mist eliminator can be cleaned by washing with soap and water. The excess water should be shaken off the mist eliminator before it is reinstalled.
e. Remove wall mounting brackets from wall on
each side of the unit.
f. If unit is attached to duct work, remove upper
cabinet extension by removing the top center screw only from the cabinet side panel.
g. Remove screws that attach the duct work to
the unit flanges.
This unit is equipped with four rollers mounted
to the base. For ease of pulling unit out from the wall, you may want to remove the bottom service door which requires removal of the return air panel, and grip the front flange of the base pan then pull straight out.

Cooling – Circuit R-Y makes the thermostat pull in the 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 – A 24V solenoid coil on the reversing valve controls heating cycle operation. Two thermostat options, one allowing “Auto” change over 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 for 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 makes starting indoor blower motor. Heat pump heating cycle now in operation.
The second option has no “Auto” change over 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 heat completes R-Y circuit, pulling in compressor contactor starting compressor and outdoor motor. R-G also make starting indoor blower motor.
Reheat Circuit – There is a small capillary tube inserted between the reheat coil return line and suction line that will prevent liquid from accumulating in the reheat coil when it is inactive. This drain does not affect the normal operation of the system.
There is a check valve located in the reheat coil return line. It has a soft spring to hold the ball on the seat. This will make the method of checking the ball freedom with a magnet difficult. Refer to Figures 25 and 26 for the location of the check valve and drain back capillary.
When the system is operating in the dehumidification mode, the suction pressure will be reduced by 4 to 8 psig and the discharge pressure will be reduced by 19 to 22 psig.
Return Air Thermostat – In dehumidification mode if the return air temperature is lower than 65°, the return air thermostat closes and brings on stage one electric heat to maintain 65°.
High/Low Pressure Control provides protection for the compressor. In the event system pressures go above 600 PSI or below 15 PSI in either cooling or heating mode the compressor will be stopped. This will activate the red light located in the control panel. The lockout circuit will hold compressor off line. When the system problem is corrected, the unit operation can be restored by turning of the main power supply off and then back on, or reset the room thermostat. The low pressure control has a bypass to eliminate nuisance lockout on cold start up.
The bypass timer should be set to 120 seconds. This is to assure there is no nuisance tripping of the low­pressure control during startup in heating mode under cold weather conditions.

PRESSURE SERVICE PORTS
High and low pressure service ports are installed on all units so that the system operating pressures can be observed. Pressure curves can be found later in the manual covering all models on both cooling and heating cycles. It is imperative to match the correct pressure curve to the unit by model number. Upper and lower service doors must be attached to obtain proper reading.
This unit employs high-flow Coremax valves instead of the typical Shrader type valves.
WARNING! Do NOT use a Schrader valve core removal tool with these valves. Use of such a tool could result in eye injuries or refrigerant burns!
To change a Coremax valve without first removing the refrigerant, a special tool is required which can be obtained at www.fastestinc.com/en/SCCA07H. See the replacement parts manual for replacement core part numbers.
Manual 2100-603B Page 35 of 44
DEFROST CYCLE
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 30 minute pin. If circumstances require a change to another time, remove the wire from the 30-minute terminal and reconnect to the desired terminal. Refer to Figure 27.
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.
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 artificial 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 first (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.
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.

Perform Moisture Check
Do Don’t
• Check out motor, controls, • Automatically assume the motor is bad. wiring and connections thoroughly before replacing motor
• Orient connectors down so • Locate connectors above 7 and 4 o’clock water can’t get in positions
- Install “drip loops”
• Use authorized motor and • Replace one motor or control model # with model #’s for replacement another (unless an authorized replacement)
• Keep static pressure to a • Use high pressure drop filters; some have minimum: H20 drop!
- Recommend high • Use restricted returns efficiency, low static filters
- Recommend keeping filters clean.
- Design ductwork for min. static, max. comfort
- Look for and recommend ductwork improvement, where necessary
• Size the equipment wisely • Oversize system, then compensate with low airflow
• Check orientation before • Plug in power connector backwards inserting motor connectors • Force plugs
Moisture Check
• Connectors are oriented “down” (or as recommended by equipment manufacturer)
• Arrange harness with “drip loop” under motor
• Is condensate drain plugged?
• Check for low airflow (too much latent capacity)
• Check for undercharged condition
• Check and plug leaks in return ducts, cabinet
Comfort Check
• Check proper airflow settings
• Low static pressure for lowest noise
• Set low continuous-fan CFM
• Use humidistat and 2-speed cooling units
• Use zoning controls designed for ECM that regulate CFM
• Thermostat in bad location?

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. DO NOT 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 26.
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.
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 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 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 to Figure 28. 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 29. (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. DO NOT 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 30.
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.
