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.

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 floor 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.
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 cannot 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 be 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. Theunit should always be carted from the left side. This is
the side where the compressor is located. See Figure 4.

A QWS-Series wall sleeve supplied as a separate
accessory must be ordered and installed with Q-Tec unit.
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.

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.

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 air
flow 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
T-25 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.

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.
For details on energy recovery ventilation see Page 30.
SERVICE LIGHT
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. See Page 33 for details.
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 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.
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 23% 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.
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.
