CAUTION: When more than one field power conductor circuit
Upon receipt of equipment, the carton should be
checked for external signs of shipping damage. If
damage is found, the receiving party must contact the
last carrier immediately, preferably in writing,
requesting inspection by the carrier’s agent.
GENERAL
The equipment covered in this manual is to be installed
by trained, experienced service and installation
technicians.
The refrigerant system is completely assembled and
charged. All internal wiring is complete.
Refer to Table 10 for maximum static pressure available
for duct design.
Design the duct work according to methods given by the
Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA).
When duct runs through unheated spaces, it should be
insulated with a minimum of 1 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.
A 1/4 inch clearance to combustible material for the
first 3 feet of duct attached to the outlet air frame is
required. See Wall Mounting Instructions and Figures 3
and 4 for further details.
The unit is designed for use with or without duct work.
Flanges are provided for attaching the supply and return
ducts.
These instructions explain the recommended method to
install the air cooled self-contained unit and the
electrical wiring connections to the unit.
These instructions and any instructions packaged with
any separate equipment required to make up the entire
air conditioning system should be carefully read before
beginning the installation. Note particularly “Starting
Procedure” and any tags and/or labels attached to the
equipment.
While these instructions are intended as a general
recommended guide, they do not supersede any national
and/or local codes in any way. Authorities having
jurisdiction should be consulted before the installation is
made. See Page 1 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 Association
for the Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating
Systems of Other Than Residence Type, NFPA No.
90A, and Residence Type Warm Air Heating and Air
Conditioning Systems, NFPA No. 90B. Where local
regulations are at a variance with instructions, installer
should adhere to local codes.
DUCT WORK
Ducts through the walls must be insulated and all joints
taped or sealed to prevent air or moisture entering the
wall cavity.
CAUTION
Some installations may not require any return
air duct. A metallic return air grille is required
with installations not requiring a return air
duct. The spacing between louvers on the
grille shall not be larger than 5/8 inches.
Any grille that meets the 5/8 inch louver criteria may be
used. It is recommended that Bard Return Air Grille Kit
RG-2 through RG-5 or RFG-2 through RFG-5 be
installed when no return duct is used. Contact
distributor or factory for ordering information. If using
a return air filter grille, filters must be of sufficient size
to allow a maximum velocity of 400 fpm.
FILTERS
A 1 inch throw away filter is suppled with each unit.
The filter slides into position making it easy to service.
This filter can be serviced from the outside by removing
the service door. A 1 inch washable filter and a 2 inch
pleated filter are also available as optional accessories.
The internal filter brackets are adjustable to
accommodate the 2 inch filter by loosening 2 screws in
each bracket assembly and sliding the brackets apart to
the required width and retightening the 4 screws.
All duct work, supply and return, must be properly sized
for the design air flow 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.
Manual 2100-192

FRESH AIR INTAKE
All units are built with fresh air inlet slots punched in
the service panel.
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.
If the unit is equipped with the fresh air damper
assembly, the assembly is shipped already attached to
the unit. The damper blade is locked in the closed
position. To allow the damper to operate, the maximum
and minimum blade position stops must be installed.
See Figure 2.
All capacity, efficiency and cost of operation
information as required for Department of Energy
“Energyguide” Fact Sheets is based upon the fresh air
blank-off plate in place and is recommended for
maximum energy efficiency.

CONDENSATE DRAIN
A plastic drain hose extends from the drain pan at the
top of the unit down to the unit base. There are openings
in the unit base for the drain hose to pass through. In the
event the drain hose is connected to a drain system of
some type, it must be an open or vented type system to
assure proper drainage.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WALL MOUNTING INFORMATION
1. Two holes, for the supply and return air openings,
must be cut through the wall as shown in Figure 3.
2. On wood-frame walls, the wall construction must be
strong and rigid enough to carry the weight of the unit
without transmitting any unit vibration.
WARNING
Fire hazard can result if 1/4 inch clearance to
combustible materials for supply air duct is not
maintained. See Figure 3.
3. Concrete block walls must be thoroughly inspected to
insure that they are capable of carrying the weight of
the installing unit.
MOUNTING THE UNIT
1. These units are secured by wall mounting brackets
which secure the unit to the outside wall surface at
both sides. A bottom mounting bracket is provided for
ease of installation, but is not required.
2. The unit itself is suitable for “0” inch clearance, but
the supply air duct flange and the first 3 feet of supply
air duct require a minimum of 1/4 inch clearance to
combustible material. If a combustible wall, use a
minimum of 28-1/2" x 8-1/2" dimensions for sizing.
However, it is generally recommended that a 1 inch
clearance is used for ease of installation and
maintaining the required clearance to combustible
material. The supply air opening would then be 30" x
10". See Figures 3 and 4 for details.
WARNING
Failure to provide the 1/4 inch clearance
between the supply duct and a combustible
surface for the first 3 feet of duct can result in
fire.
3. Locate and mark lag bolt locations and bottom
mounting bracket location. See Figure 3.
4. Mount bottom mounting bracket, if used.
5. Hook top rain flashing under back bend of top. Top
rain flashing is shipped secured to the right side of the
back.
6. Position unit in opening and secure with 5/16 lag
bolts; use 7/8 inch diameter flat washers on the lag
bolts.
7. Secure rain flashing to wall and caulk across entire
length of top. See Figure 3.
8. For additional mounting rigidity, the return air and
supply air frames or collars can be drilled and
screwed or welded to the structural wall itself
(depending upon wall construction). Be sure to
observe required clearance if combustible wall.
9. On side by side installations, maintain a minimum of
20 inches clearance on right side to allow access to
heat strips and control panel and to allow proper
airflow to the outdoor coil. Additional clearance may
be required to meet local or national codes.
TOP OUTLET ONLY
1. Remove airframe angles from the back of the unit.
2. Coat angles with two 1/8" beads of silicone as shown.
Silicone is shipped in the control panel. See Figure 6.
3. Secure angles to the top of the unit with 14 screws
provided. Use of prepunched holes provided. Do not
relocate. See Figure 6.
4. After installation duct work, seal around airframe and
duct work to provide a rain tight seal.
5. It is strongly recommended, but not required, that this
unit be installed under a soffit area large enough to
shield the top of the unit. See Figure 7.
WIRING — MAIN POWER
Refer to the unit rating plate for wire sizing information
and maximum fuse or “HACR Type” circuit breaker
size. Each outdoor unit is marked with a “Minimum
Circuit Ampacity”. This means that the 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.
Manual 2100-192
Page 7
Page 10
The electrical data lists fuse and wire sizes (75ºC
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 “HACR Type” circuit breaker that is to
be used with the equipment. The correct size must be
used for proper circuit protection and also to assure that
there will be no nuisance tripping due to the momentary
high starting current of the compressor motor.
The disconnect access door on this unit may be locked to
prevent unauthorized access to the disconnect. To
convert for the locking capability, bend the tab located in
the bottom left hand corner of the disconnect opening
under the disconnect access panel straight out. This tab
will now line up with the slot in the door. When shut, a
padlock may be placed through the hole in the tab
preventing entry.
WIRING — LOW VOLTAGE WIRING
230/208V, 1 phase and 3 phase equipment 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:
TABLE 4
OPERATING VOLTAGE RANGE
PATEGNAR
V042612-352
V802781-022
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.)
Five (5) wires should be run from thermostat subbase to
the 24V terminal board in the unit. A five conductor, 18
gauge copper, color-coded thermostat cable is
recommended. The connection points are shown in
Figure 10.

START UP
IMPORTANT INSTALLER NOTE
For improved start-up performance, wash the indoor
coil with a dishwasher detergent.
CRANKCASE HEATERS
All units are provided with some form of compressor
crankcase heat.
All single and three phase models have an insertion
well-type heater located in the lower section of the
compressor housing. This is a self-regulating type
heater that draws only enough power to maintain the
compressor at a safe temperature.
Some form of crankcase heat is essential to prevent
liquid refrigerant from migrating to the compressor,
causing oil pump out on compressor start up and
possible valve failure due to compressing a liquid.
The decal in Figure 9 is affixed to all outdoor units
detailing start up procedure. This is very important.
Please read carefully.
SERVICE HINTS
1. Caution homeowner to maintain clean air filters at all
times. Also, not to needlessly close off supply and
return air registers. This reduces air flow through the
system, which shortens equipment service life as well
as increasing operating costs.
2. Check all power fuses or circuit breakers to be sure
they are the correct rating.
3. Periodic cleaning of the outdoor coil to permit full
and unrestricted airflow circulation is essential.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Cooling—Circuit R-Y makes at thermostat pulling in
compressor contactor, starting the compressor and
outdoor motor. The G (indoor motor) circuit is
automatically completed on any call for cooling
operation or can be energized by manual fan switch on
subbase for constant air circulation. On all 230 volt
units there is a one minute off delay on the blower
motor. 460 volt models do not have an off delay. On a
call for heating, circuit R-W1 make at the thermostat
pulling in heat contact for the strip heat and blower
operation. On a call for second stage heat, R-W2 makes
bringing on second heat contactor, if so equipped.
COMPRESSOR CONTROL MODULE
The compressor control module is optional on the
models covered by this manual. The compressor control
is an anti-short cycle/lockout timer with high and low
pressure switch monitoring and alarm relay output.
Adjustable Delay On Make And Break Timer
On initial power up or any time power is interrupted to
the unit the delay on make period begins which will be
2 minutes plus 10% of the delay on break setting. When
the delay on make is complete and the high pressure
switch (and low pressure switch if employed) is closed,
the compressor contactor is energized. Upon shutdown
the delay or break timer starts and prevents restart until
the delay on break and delay on make periods have
expired.
During routine operation of the unit with no power
interruptions the compressor will operate on demand
with no delay.
FIGURE 9
START UP LABEL
IMPORTANT
These procedures must be followed
at initial start up and at any time
power has been removed for 12
hours or longer.
To prevent compressor damage which may
result from the presence of liquid refrigerant in
the compressor crankcase:
1. Make certain the room thermostat is in the
"off" position (the compressor is not to operate).
2. Apply power by closing the system
disconnect switch. This energizes the
compressor heater which evaporates the liquid
refrigerant in the crankcase.
3. Allow 4 hours or 60 minutes per poind of
refrigerant in the system as noted on the unit
rating plate, whichever is greater.
4. After properly elapsed time, the thermostat
may be set to operate the compressor.
5. Except as required for safety while servicing,
do not open system disconnect switch
.

Manual 2100-192
Page 13
Page 16
High Pressure Switch and Lockout Sequence
ADJUSTMENTS
If the high pressure switch opens, the compressor
contactor will de-energize immediately. The lockout
timer will go into a soft lockout and stay in soft lockout
until the high pressure switch closes and the delay on
break time has expired. If the high pressure switch
opens again in this same operating cycle the unit will go
into manual lockout condition and the alarm relay circuit
will energize. Recycling the wall thermostat resets the
manual lockout.
Low Pressure Switch, Bypass, and Lockout
Sequence
If the low pressure switch opens for more than 120
seconds, the compressor contactor will de-energize and
go into a soft lockout. Regardless the state of the low
pressure switch, the contactor will reenergize after the
delay on make time delay has expired. If the low
pressure switch remains open, or opens again for longer
than 120 seconds the unit will go into manual lockout
condition and the alarm relay circuit will energize.
Recycling the wall thermostat resets the manual lockout.
Alarm Relay Output
Alarm terminal is output connection for applications
where alarm relay is employed. This terminal is
powered whenever compressor is locked out due to HPC
or LPC sequences as described.
NOTE: Both high and low pressure switch controls are
inherently automatic reset devices. The high
pressure switch and low pressure switch cut
out and cut in settings are fixed by specific air
conditioner or heat pump unit model. The
lockout features, both soft and manual, are a
function of the Compressor Control Module.
Adjustable Delay on Make and Delay on Break
Timer
The potentiometer is used to select Delay on Break time
from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. Delay on Make (DOM)
timing on power-up and after power interruptions is
equal to 2 minutes plus 10% of Delay on Break (DOB)
setting:
0.5 minute (30 seconds) DOB = 123 second DOM
1.0 minute (60 seconds) DOB = 126 second DOM
2.0 minute (120 seconds) DOB = 132 second DOM
3.0 minute (180 seconds) DOB = 138 second DOM
4.0 minute (240 seconds) DOB = 144 second DOM
5.0 minute (300 seconds) DOB = 150 second DOM
During routine operation of the unit with no power
interruptions the compressor will operate on demand
with no delay.
Typical Settings for Dual Unit Installation:
Unit 1: DOB set at 2 minutes, and DOM is 132 seconds
Unit 2: DOB set at 4 minutes, and DOM is 144 seconds
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 later in the
manual covering all models. It is imperative to match
the correct pressure table to the unit by model number.
