Maximum size of the time delay fuse or HACR type circuit breaker for protection of field wiring conductors.
Q
Based on 75°C copper wire. All wiring must conform to NEC and all local codes.
R
Maximum KW that can operate with heat pump on.

T
These Minimum Circuit Ampacity" values are to be used for sizing the field power conductors. Refer to the
National Electrical Code (latest version), article 310 for power conductor sizing. CAUTION: When more than one
field power conductor circuit is run through one conduit, the conductors must be derated. Pay special
attention to note 8 of table 310 regarding Ampacity Adjustment Factors when more than 3 conductors are
in a raceway.

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 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.
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. 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
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,
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.
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 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.
A 1/4 inch clearance to combustible material for the first
three feet (3') of duct attached to the outlet air frame is
required. See Wall Mounting Instructions and Figures 4
and 4 for further details.
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 thru RG-5 or RFG-2 thru 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.
NOTE:If no return air duct is used, applicable
installation codes may limit this cabinet to
installation only in a single story structure.
FILTERS
A 1 inch throwaway filter is supplied 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 2 inch
pleated filter are also available as optional accessories.
The internal filter brackets are adjustable to
accommodate the 2 inch filter by bending down the tabs
to allow spacing for the 2 inch filters.
