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.
Manual 2100-399

FRESH AIR INTAKE
All units are built with fresh air inlet slots punched in
the service panel.
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 minium 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.
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.
BLOWER DAMPER ASSEMBLY
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. See
Figures 4 and 5.
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.
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. See Figure 4.
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 it 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 30-1/2" x 10-1/2"
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 32" x 12". See
Figures 3, 4 and 7 for details.
3. Locate and mark lag bolt locations and bottom
mounting bracket location. See Figure 4.
4. Mount bottom mounting bracket.
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.

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.
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.
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).
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 7.

THERMOSTAT WIRING
COMPRESSOR CUTOFF THERMOSTAT AND
OUTDOOR THERMOSTATS
Heat pump compressor operation at outdoor
temperatures below 0° F are neither desirable nor
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.
HEAT ANTICIPATION
Both of the thermostats in Groups A and B below have
a fixed heat anticipator for stage 1 with no adjustment
required. Stage 2 has an adjustable anticipator for the
W2 connection and fixed for the W3 connection. Both
the W2 and W3 circuits are controlled by the stage 2
bulb. The only heat anticipator that needs to be
checked is stage 2 and it should be set to match the load
carried by the W2 circuit. The normal factory wiring
provides for only on electric heat contactor to be
controlled by W2, and the anticipator should be set at
.40A. If special field wiring is done, it is best to
actually measure the load but a good role is .40A for
each heat contactor controlled by W2.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Both thermostat and subbase combinations shown above in Groups A and B
incorporate the following features: Man-Auto fan switch, Off-Heat-Cool-Em.
Heat switch, and two (2) indicator lamps – one for emergency heat and one for
compressor malfunction.
THERMOSTAT INDICATOR LAMPS
The red lamp marked "Em. Ht." comes on and stays on
whenever the system switch is placed in the emergency
heat 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 know problem with the unit, or when the green
"Check" lamp comes on indicating a problem.
COMPRESSOR MALFUNCTION LIGHT
Actuation of the green "Check" lamp is accomplished
by a relay output from the heat pump control board
which is factory installed. Any condition such as loss
of charge, high head pressure, etc., that will prevent
compressor for operating will cause green lamp to
activate. This is a signal to the operator of the
equipment to place system in emergency heat position.

START UP
IMPORTANT INSTALLER NOTE
For improved start-up performance, wash the indoor
coil with a dishwashing detergent.
CRANKCASE HEATERS
WA421 units are provided with compressor crankcase
heat. WH602 and WH483 units are not provided with
crankcase heat. These units utilize scroll compressors
which do not require crankcase heat in this application.
The WH421 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 on these units.
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 WA421 units
detailing start-up procedure. This is very important.
Please read carefully.
HIGH PRESSURE SWITCH
The WH483 and WH602 models are supplied with a
remote reset high pressure switch. If tripped, this
pressure switch may be reset by turning the thermostat
off then back on again.
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. All three
phase units incorporate a phase monitor to ensure proper
field wiring. See the Phase Monitor" on page 15 of this
manual.
Verification of proper rotation must be made any time
a compressor is change or rewired. 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.
All three phase ZR3 compressors are wired identical
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.
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 rotations, as well as, substantially
reduced current draw compared to tabulated values.
The direction of rotation of the compressor may be
changed by reversing any two line connections to the
unit.
Manual 2100-399
Page 14
PHASE MONITOR
All units with three phase 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. If
phases are reversed, the red fault LED will be lit and
compressor operation is inhibited.
now in operation. The second option has no "Auto"
changeover 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.
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.
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. 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.
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
Circuit R-Y makes at thermostat pulling in
A 24V solenoid coil on reversing valve
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 on both cooling and heating
cycles. It is imperative to match the correct pressure
curve to the unit by model number.
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 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.
After 60 (90 or 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 conditions such as a
high wind caused the heat pump to have a prolonged
defrost cycle, the heat pump control will restore the
system to heating operating automatically after 10
minutes.
There is a cycle SPEEDUP 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 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.
Manual 2100-399
Page 15
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 10-minute maximum defrost length
sequence in a matter of seconds and will automatically
terminate the defrost sequence.
There is an initial defrost (SEN JMP) jumper 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.
The jumper connection (SEN JMP) on the heat Pump
Control (HPC) that can be used during the heating cycle
to simulate a 0 degree coil condition and initiate the
defrost sequence. By placing a jumper across the
SEN JMP terminals (1/4 inch QC terminal works best)
the defrost sensor mounted on the outdoor coil 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.
There are three time settings on the HPC — 30, 60 or
on minutes. These are elapsed run-time values, and the
outdoor coil temperature sensor must be below the 30
degree equivalent resistance value for the timer to
accumulate time towards the actual defrost cycle event.
Using the SEN JMP terminals will force the timer to
run continuously.
The next event is the actual defrost cycle when the
reversing valve shifts the refrigerant system back to the
cooling mode, and the outdoor fan motor is turned off
to speed the heating of the outdoor coil and melting of
any accumulated frost. The SPEEDUP terminals can be
used to reduce the 30,60 or 90 minute real-time periods
to a matter of seconds. Electric heat is typically turned
on to temper the supply air temperature being delivered
into the building during the defrost cycle.
There is also a 5-minute compressor time delay
function built into the HPC. This is to protect the
compressor from short cycling conditions. In some
instances it is helpful to the service technician to
override or speedup this timing period, and shorting out
the SPEEDUP terminals for a few seconds can do this.

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 inches from compressor) as shown in the
Table 7.
