SAFETY CONSIDERATIONSGENERAL DESCRIPTION
WARNING: Installation and servicing of this
equipment can be hazardous due to system
pressure and electrical components. Only
trained and qualified personnel should
install, repair, or service the equipment.
DANGER: Before performing service or
maintenance operations on the system, turn
off main power to the unit. Electrical shock
could cause personal injury or death.
WARNING: When working on equipment,
always observe precautions described in
the literature, tags, and labels attached to
the unit. Follow all safety codes. Wear
safety glasses and work gloves. Use a
quenching cloth for brazing, and place a fire
extinguisher close to the work area.
NOTE: To avoid the release of refrigerant
into the atmosphere, the refrigerant circuit
of this unit must be serviced only by
technicians who meet local, state, and
federal proficiency requirements.
NOTE: All refrigerant discharged from this
unit must be recovered WITHOUT
EXCEPTION. Technicians must follow
industry accepted guidelines and all local,
state, and federal statutes for the recovery
and disposal of refrigerants. If a compressor
is removed from this unit, refrigerant circuit
oil will remain in the compressor. To avoid
leakage of compressor oil, refrigerant lines
of the compressor must be sealed after it is
removed.
NOTE: To avoid equipment damage, DO
NOT use these units as a source of heating
or cooling during the construction process.
Doing so may affect the unit’s warranty. The
mechanical components and filters will
quickly become clogged with construction
dirt and debris, which may cause system
damage.
The LV series water-to-air heat pump provides an
unmatched combination of performance, features
and flexibility for both high performance new
construction applications and replacement of
existing water-to-air heat pumps. All units are
certified by the Air conditioning, Heating and
Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) to AHRI/ANSI/
ASHRAE/ISO standard 13256-1 for water-to-air
and brine-to-air heat pumps at both Water Loop
Heat Pump and Ground Loop Heat Pump
application points.
All Water-to-Air Heat Pumps conform to UL 1995
standard and are certified to CAN/CSA C22.2 No
236 by Intertek-ETL.
These units meet all current applicable
requirements of ASHRAE 90.1.
LV series units are designed to operate with
entering fluid temperatures between 50°F and
100°F in cooling and 50°F and 80°F in heating with
the base configuration. With the extended range
option, LV series models can operate with entering
fluid temperatures between 50°F and 110°F in
cooling and between 20°F and 80°F in heating. LV
units can accommodate a wide range of air
temperatures, however, standard LV models
should not be used for 100% outside air without
consulting the factory applications group. 100%
outside air routinely requires higher levels of
dehumidification than is available from equipment
designed for return air applications.
LV series units are available in three basic
configurations: vertical top supply air (VT),
horizontal end supply air or straight through
supply air (HZ) and counterflow down supply air
(CF). Each of these configurations are available
with either left or right hand return air. HZ models
can have the supply air field converted from end
discharge air to straight through with no extra
parts required.
LV units are designed and rated for indoor
installation only. LV units should not be installed in
environments that fall below freezing or exceed
100°F ambient. LV cabinets are constructed of
heavy gauge G-90 galvanized steel and will resist
most common types of corrosion for the life of the
equipment.

Moving and Storage | 5LV Heat Pump Series
LV series units are offered with a wide range of
factory installed options including: PSC, constant
torque ECM or constant air flow ECM fan motors;
hot gas reheat; hot gas bypass; internal 2 way
valves; tin plated air coils; 2“ 4-sided filter racks;
MERV 13 filters (with constant airflow ECM
motors); on board DDC controls; copper or cupro
nickel water coils; water-side economizers and
more.
Note that some options are offered in limited
sizes and/or voltages.
On board safety features will protect the major
unit components from damage under most
foreseeable installation and operation problems.
MOVING AND STORAGE
If the equipment is not needed for immediate
installation upon arrival at the job site, it should be
left in its packaging and stored in a clean, dry area.
Units must be moved and stored in the normal
upright position at all times.
Use caution to avoid damage to filter racks and
duct flanges when storing or handling units.
NOTE: Never lift or move units by filter
racks, external piping or attached options/
accessories.
INITIAL INSPECTION
Be certain to inspect all cartons or crates on each
unit as received at the job site before signing the
freight bill. Verify that all items have been received
and that there is no visible damage. Note any
damage or shortage on all copies of the freight bill.
In the event of damage or a shortage it is the
responsibility of the purchaser to file the
necessary claims with the carrier. Concealed
damage not discovered until after removing the
units from packaging must be reported to the
carrier within 24 hours of receipt.
LOCATION
Locate the unit in an indoor area that allows easy
access to the filter, front access panel and blower
access panel, and has enough room for service
personnel to perform maintenance and repair
work. Provide sufficient room to make fluid,
electrical and ductwork connections.
Locate the unit in conditioned space and avoid
installation in corrosive environments.
If the unit is installed in a confined space, such as
a closet, provisions must be made for return air to
freely enter the face of the unit’s air coil.
Unit condensate drains are not internally trapped.
Allow room below the unit base for horizontal and
counterflow models for an adequate condensate
trap.
NOTE: Never stack units when
transporting them.
NOTE: When storing units:
Do not stack units larger than 6 tons
capacity!
Do not stack vertical or counterflow units
under 6 tons capacity more than 2 high
Do not stack horizontal units 6 tons capacity
more than 3 high
NOTE: Do not locate the unit above supply
piping.
Do not locate the unit in areas subject to
freezing or in areas subject to temperature
or humidity extremes.
NOTE: LV series packaged units are not
approved for outdoor installation. Units
must be installed in conditioned space that
is not subject to extremes of temperature or
humidity to avoid cabinet sweating and/or
equipment damage.
NOTE: Do not use LV series units for
temporary heating, air conditioning or
ventilation during construction, especially
when plastering, sanding or painting. Care
should be taken to avoid introduction of
dust, paint or debris into the air coil.

6 | Water QualityLV Heat PumpSeries
WATER QUALITY
NOTE: Failure to insure proper water quality
and flow rates can shorten the life of the
heat pump and potentially void the unit
warranty.
Maintaining proper water quality is important for
insuring a long and trouble free service life for an
LV series heat pump.
For closed loop and boiler/tower systems water
chemistry can be checked and easily maintained to
insure that corrosive elements, dissolved oxygen
and pH levels are kept in check. It is important to
insure that any additive, antifreeze or corrosion
inhibitor that is added to the water loop is
compliant with all applicable laws and regulations
and is compatible with copper, brass and bronze
alloys. Insure that all recommended safety
precautions are followed when handling or adding
chemicals to the water loop.
For open loop systems, water quality is very
important. Refer to Quality Table on page# 6
shows acceptable ranges for a variety of water
quality factors. The three main concerns in open
loop installations are scaling, corrosion and
fouling.
In installations with hard water, scaling due to a
buildup of carbonates on the heat exchanger wall
can gradually degrade the heat pump performance
over time. Heat pumps that are affected by scaling
may exhibit low suction pressures in heating and
high head pressures in cooling with a gradual loss
of capacity and efficiency. Scaled heat exchangers
can be cleaned by a qualified technician but care
should be taken to avoid scaling in the first place.
To limit scaling, water flow rates should be kept at
3 gallons/minute per nominal cooling ton (a 10°F
temperature rise in cooling) and care should be
taken to avoid air in the water lines from suction
side leaks. Cupro-nickel coils are generally
recommended.
In installations with high hydrogen sulfide, chlorine
or ammonia, corrosion is a potential problem. In
these installations a cupro-nickel heat exchanger is
recommended along with maintaining proper flow
and keeping air out of the system. If water quality
is outside of the values in water quality table, then
a closed loop is recommended.
Fouling due to iron bacteria can also pose
problems in some open loop installations. Iron
bacteria fouling can quickly degrade system
performance and plug heat exchangers.
Air in the water system will greatly accellerate the
fouling or corrosion process.

Duct Flanges
LV heat pumps feature fold-out return and supply
air duct flanges. These fold-out flanges allow the
heat pumps to more easily fit through doorways
and other tight spaces, and also prevent damage in
shipping and handling.

It is recommended that all fold-out flanges be
folded-out once the heat pump is installed to
insure that return and supply air flow is not
obstructed. These flanges can be easily folded
using standard or duckbill pliers. Once folded out
these flanges can be used to support light
ductwork loads.

Vibration
Mounting
Pad
Mounting Vertical Units
LV Series vertical and counter flow units should be
mounted level on a vibration absorbing pad slightly
larger than the unit base in order to minimize
vibration transmission from the unit to the building
structure. See Figure #2 It is generally not
necessary to anchor the unit unless required by
local code.
All major service access for the LV Series vertical
and counterflow models is from the front side of
the unit. When installing the unit in a confined
space such as a closet, insure that the service
panel screws are accessible, that the filter can be
replaced without damage and that water and
electrical connections are accessible. For models
with a unit mounted disconnect switch, make sure
the switch can be easily seen and operated.
To reduce sound transmission, units should be
installed using flexible electrical conduit and hose
kits. Care should be taken to insure that no part of
the unit cabinet is touching part of the building
structure. For ducted return applications, a
flexible duct connection should be used. Refer to
Figure’s #15, #16 and #17.
Horizontal units installed above the ceiling must
conform to all local codes. An auxiliary drain pan if
required by code, should be at least four inches
larger than the bottom of the heat pump.
Plumbing connected to the heat pump must not
come in direct contact with joists, trusses, walls,
etc. Some applications require an attic floor
installation of the horizontal unit. In this case the
unit should be set in a full size secondary drain pan
on top of a vibration absorbing mesh.
The secondary drain pan prevents possible
condensate overflow or water leakage damage to
the ceiling. The secondary drain pan is usually
placed on a plywood base isolated from the ceiling
joists by additional layers of vibration absorbing
mesh. In both cases, a 3/4” drain connected to this
secondary pan should be run to an eaves at a
location that will be noticeable.
NOTE: Horizontal (HZ) units must be
installed pitched toward the condensate
drain connection 1/8” per foot.
Units larger than six tons include an integral
angle iron frame with mounting holes present.
(See unit horizontal detail drawing).
Figure # 2 Mounting Vertical Units
Mounting Horizontal Units
While horizontal units may be installed on any level
surface strong enough to hold their weight, they
are typically suspended above a ceiling by
threaded rods. The rods are usually attached to the
unit corners by hanger bracket kits (P/N 930-008).
NOTE: If the unit is located in a crawl space,
the bottom of the unit must be at least 4"
above grade to prevent flooding of the
electrical parts due to heavy rains.

The supply air location on LV Series Horizontal
units can be quickly field converted from end blow
to straight through or vice-versa. To convert the
supply air direction, follow the steps below:
8 733 905 683 (2014/11)LV Heat Pump Series
10 | Converting Horizontal Supply Air ConfigurationLV Heat PumpSeries
1. If connected to power, shut off the unit and
disconnect switch or circuit breaker.
2. Unscrew and remove the blower access panel.
3. Disconnect the wires from the unit electrical
box to the blower motor. Note which speed
taps are wired for units with PSC or constant
torque motors.
4. Unscrew and carefully remove the blower
panel with the blower and motor attached. Be
careful not to damage the refrigerant coils or
any other internal unit components.
5. Remove the blower support brackets from the
bottom of the blower housing and relocate
them to the top of the blower housing.
6. Turn the blower panel 180° so that the blower
support brackets are now at the bottom of the
blower.
7. Insert the blower panel with the blower and
motor into the desired location. Be careful not
to damage the refrigerant coils or any other
internal unit components. Screw the panel into
place.
8. Replace the wires between the blower motor
and electrical box. Make sure to connect wires
to the proper speed taps.
9. Replace the blower access panel.
10. Reconnect power to the unit.
Condensate Connections
A drain line must be connected to the heat pump
and pitched away from the unit a minimum of 1/8”
per foot to allow the condensate to flow away from
the unit.
This connection must be in conformance with local
plumbing codes. A trap must be installed in the
condensate line to insure free condensate flow.
(Heat Pumps are not internally trapped).
A vertical air vent is sometimes required to avoid
air pockets.(See Figure #7).
The depth of the trap depends on the amount of
positive or negative pressure on the drain pan. A
second trap must not be included.
The horizontal unit should be pitched
approximately 1/4” towards the drain in both
directions, to facilitate condensate removal. (See
Figure #8)
Figure # 8 Pitched Unit
Duct System
All LV Series models are provided with a return air
duct flange and supply air duct connections.
Refer to unit Dimensional Drawings for physical
dimensions of the collar and flange. (Pg#50)
A flexible connector is recommended for supply
and return air duct connections on metal duct
systems. All metal ducting should be insulated
with a minimum of 1” (one inch) duct insulation to
avoid heat loss or gain and prevent condensate
from forming during the cooling operation.
Application of the unit to no insulated duct work is
not recommended as the unit’s performance will
be adversely affected.
Do not connect discharge ducts directly to
the blower outlet.
The factory filter rack should be left in place
on a free return system.
if the unit will be installed in a new installation with
new duct work, the installation should be designed
using current ASHRAE procedures for duct sizing.
If the unit will be connected to an existing duct
system, a check should be made to assure that the
duct system has the capacity to handle the air
required for the unit application. If the duct system
is too small, larger duct work must be installed. Be
certain to check for existing leaks and repair.
Figure # 7 Condensate Drain
LV Heat Pump Series8 733 905 683 (2014/11)Subject to change without prior notice
Piping | 11LV Heat Pump Series
The duct system and all diffusers should be sized
to handle the designed air flow quietly. To
maximize sound attenuation of the unit blower, the
supply and return air plenums should be insulated.
There should be no direct straight air path through
the air grill into the heat pump. The return air inlet
to the heat pump must have at least one 90° turn
away from the space return air grill. If air noise or
excessive air flow are a problem, the blower speed
can be changed to a lower speed to reduce air
flow.
PIPING
Supply and return piping must be as large as the
unit connections on the heat pump (larger on long
runs). Never use flexible hoses of a smaller inside
diameter than that of the water connections on the
unit. LV Units are supplied with either a copper or
optional cupro-nickel condenser. Copper is
adequate for ground water that is not high in
mineral content. Refer to Table #1.
Should your well driller express concern
regarding the quality of the well water available
or should any known hazards exist in your area,
we recommend proper testing to assure the well
water quality is suitable for use with water
source equipment. (Refer to Table #1)
In conditions anticipating moderate scale
formation or in brackish water a cupro-nickel heat
exchanger is recommended. Both the supply and
discharge water lines will sweat if subjected to low
water temperature. These lines should be
insulated to prevent damage from condensation.
All manual flow valves used in the system must be
ball valves. Globe and gate valves must not be used
due to high pressure drop and poor throttling
characteristics. Always check carefully for water
leaks and repair appropriately. Units are equipped
with female pipe thread fittings. Consult the
specification sheets for sizes.
Teflon tape sealer should be used when
connecting water piping connections to the units
to insure against leaks and possible heat
exchanger fouling. Do not overtighten the
connections. Flexible hoses should be used
between the unit and the rigid system to avoid
possible vibration. Ball valves should be installed
in the supply and return lines for unit isolation and
unit water flow balancing.
Pressure/temperature ports are recommended in
both the supply and return lines for system flow
balancing. The water flow can be accurately set by
measuring the water-to- refrigerant heat
exchangers water side pressure drop. See the unit
specification sheets for the water flow and
pressure drop information.
NOTE: Water piping exposed to extreme,
low ambient temperatures is subject to
freezing
NOTE: Never exceed the recommended
water flow rates. Serious damage or erosion
of the water to refrigerant heat exchanger
could occur.
Electrical - High Voltage
All field installed wiring must comply with the
National Electric Code as well as all applicable
local codes. Refer to the unit electrical data on the
unit name plate for wire and branch circuit
protection sizing. Supply power voltage and
phasing should match the required voltage and
phasing shown on the unit name plate. Operating
the unit below the minimum voltage, above the
maximum voltage or with incorrect phasing can
result in poor system performance or damage to
the heat pump. All field wiring should be installed
by qualified and trained personnel. Refer to the
unit wiring diagram for field connection
requirements.
NOTE: All power connections must be
properly torque to avoid the risk of
overheating.
Power wiring to the heat pump should be enclosed
in flexible conduit to minimize the transmission of
vibration from the unit cabinet to the building.
For heat pumps with unit mounted disconnect
switches, field power should be connected to the
marked terminals on the disconnect switch. For
heat pumps without unit mounted disconnect
switches (except for 460 volt units noted below
and units with dual power supply), power is
connected to the line (L) side of the compressor
contactor and the ground lug in the unit electrical
box.
8 733 905 683 (2014/11)LV Heat Pump Series
12 | Electrical - Low VoltageLV Heat PumpSeries
Models with Dual Power Supplies
For models with dual power supplies, one power
supply feeds the compressor and a second power
supply feeds the unit fan motor and control circuit.
The compressor power supply should be
connected to the line (L) side of the compressor
contactor. The fan motor and control circuit power
supply should be connected to a provided terminal
block. Care should be taken to insure that each
power supply meets the voltage, amperage and
phase requirements of its load. Refer to the unit
nameplates for requirements.
460 V Models with Constant Air Flow Motors
(LV015-LV070)
460 volt LV heat pumps with the constant airflow
motor option require a properly sized neutral wire
with the power supply wiring in addition to the
three high voltage wires and the ground wire.
These units employ a 265 V motor that requires
power from one phase of the 460 V supply and the
neutral wire.
WARNING: The power supply ground wire
should never be used as a neutral wire.
ELECTRICAL - LOW VOLTAGE
For heat pumps with PSC or constant torque fan
motors, all thermostat wiring is connected to a
terminal block located in the unit electrical box.
For heat pumps with a constant air flow fan motor,
thermostat wiring is connected to a removable
terminal strip located on the ECM motor control
board located in the electrical box. Refer to the
unit wiring diagram for connection details.
NOTE: Never route control wiring through
the same conduit as power supply wiring.
Unless provided with DDC controls, the LV heat
pump can be controlled by most commonly
available single stage heat pump thermostats.
Note that the reversing valve on the LV series is
energized when the unit is in the cooling mode.
Thermostats should be located on an interior wall
away from supply ducts. Avoid locations subject to
direct sunlight or drafts, or external walls.
Thermostat wiring should be 18 AWG. Refer to the
installation instructions for the thermostat for
further details.
For 460 V models with constant air flow motors
and a unit mounted disconnect switch, the power
wires and neutral wire should be connected to the
appropriate terminals on the disconnect switch
and its enclosure. For units without a disconnect
switch, power and neutral wires should be
connected to a provided 4 pole terminal block in
the unit electrical box
Transformer Settings for 208/230 V Units
As factory built, all 208/230 V units are wired for
230 V operation unless the wire for 208 V option is
ordered. For jobsites with a 208 V power supply,
the primary leads on the unit transformer will need
to be changed from 240 V to 208 V. Refer to the
unit wiring diagram for details.
Exceptionally long runs of thermostat wire
should be avoided to prevent voltage drops in
the control circuit.
LV heat pumps are supplied with a 50 VA control
transformer as standard. Models with DDC, hot
gas reheat or an economizer are supplied with a 75
VA transformer. 75 VA and 100 VA transformers are
available as optional components for most models
(size 018 and larger for 100 VA). The VA capacity of
the transformer should be considered when
connecting low voltage accessories to the heat
pump such as thermostats or solenoid valves.
Table #2 shows the VA draw of factory mounted
components in the LV heat pump. The total VA
draw of the heat pump internal components plus
any attached accessories must be lower than the
VA capacity of the unit control transformer.
NOTE: Exceeding the transformer capacity
can result in low control voltage, erratic unit
operation or damage to the heat pump.

conventional Test and Balance equipment for
accurate airflow measurement.
When the HGRH DIP switch (Figure# 10) is set to
“YES” the heat pump is configured for hot gas
reheat. With hot gas reheat, when there is a call
for dehumidification (the “H” terminal on the
thermostat is energized) the reheat digital outputs
(Item 8 on Figure 6) will energize the hot gas
reheat valve in the hot gas reheat circuit and the
heat pump will start in dehumidification mode.
When the HGRH DIP switch is set to “NO” the heat
pump is set for passive dehumidification. When
“H” is energized and there is a call for cooling, the
heat pump fan will operate at a lower speed to
increase dehumidification while cooling. Note that
in this mode, the heat pump will only dehumidify
the space when it is running in cooling mode..
NOTE: Do not set the ADJ DIP switch to the
(-) setting when electric heaters are
installed. Doing so may cause the heaters to
cycle on their thermal overload switches,
potentially shortening the life of the
switches.
The other DIP switch bank is used to select the
proper program in the ECM motor for the unit.
CAUTION: Always disconnect power before
changing jumper positions on the interface
board and reset the unit afterward.
To the right of the thermostat connection block is
a green LED labeled dehumidify. Just above and to
the right of the thermostat connection block are
two banks of DIP switches labeled ADJ and CFM.
The ADJ bank DIP switches are labeled NORM, (+),
(-), Test and HGHR position from the factory,
however, airflow can be increased (+) or
decreased (-) by 15% from the pre-programmed
setting by relocating the DIP switch in this section.
The TEST position is used to verify proper motor
operation. If a motor problem is suspected, move
the ADJ DIP switch to the TEST position and
energize G on the thermostat connection block. If
the motor ramps up to 100% power, then the
motor itself is functioning normally. Always
remember to replace the DIP switch to NORM, (+)
or (-) after testing and reset the unit thermostat to
restore normal operation.
HGRH switch is used to select operating mode
between units equipped with:
1. Re-heat coils
2. Cool to dehumidify
To the left of the red and green status LED’s is a
row of 1/4” male quick connects. These are used
to pass thermostat inputs on to the rest of the
control circuit. Remember to always turn off unit
power at the circuit breaker before attaching or
disconnecting any wiring from these connections
to avoid accidental short circuits that can damage
unit control components.

General
LV series heat pumps are designed to be
controlled by a standard 1 heat / 1 cool heat pump
thermostat. The heat pump control circuit
operates on 24 VAC control voltage regardless of
the unit supply voltage. If direct digital control is
required then the heat pump needs to be supplied
with a DDC control option.
Fan operation is controlled by the “G” terminal on
the heat pump thermostat terminal block. When
“G” is energized the unit fan motor will start
operating. For heat pumps with PSC motors, the
fan will immediately ramp up to 100% air flow. For
heat pumps with constant torque ECM motors, the
fan will ramp up to 100% air flow over a 30 second
period. For heat pumps with constant air flow
ECM motors the fan will ramp up to 70% air flow
over a 30 second period if there is no call for
compressor operation (“Y”). If there is a call for
compressor operation along with a call for fan
operation, then the fan will ramp to 100% air flow.
Compressor operation is controlled by the “Y”
terminal on the heat pump thermostat terminal
block. When “Y” is energized, a signal to start the
compressor is sent to the Unit Protection Module
(UPM). The UPM checks a number of safety
features before then starting the compressor. If
any of the safety features connected to the UPM is
in a fault condition, the UPM will not start the
compressor and will flash a fault code on the red
status LED indicating the nature of the fault.
Additionally the UPM will delay compressor
operation randomly on initial start up (random
start delay) and will prevent the compressor from
restarting with less than 5 minutes of off time (anti
short cycle delay). Once all faults are cleared and
the time delays are satisfied, the UPM will energize
the compressor. The compressor will operate as
long as the thermostat calls for “Y” and there are
no faults. Refer to the troubleshooting chart for
fault diagnostics.
Cooling and Heating Modes
LV series heat pumps operate in cooling with the
reversing valve energized. When the “O” terminal
is energized, the heat pump will be in the cooling
mode, however, will not be actively cooling until
the “Y” and “G” terminals are also energized. If the
“Y” and “G” terminals are energized without the
“O” terminal, then the heat pump will operate in
the heating mode.

If the unit is being connected to a thermostat
with a malfunction light, this connection is made
at the unit malfunction output or relay.
If the thermostat is provided with a malfunction
light powered off of the common (C) side of the
transformer, a jumper between “R” and “COM”
terminal of “ALR” contacts must be made.

Units Controls - UPM | 17LV Heat Pump Series
If the thermostat is provided with a malfunction
light powered off of the hot (R) side of the
transformer, then the thermostat malfunction
light connection should be connected directly to
the (ALR) contact on the unit’s UPM board.
Each unit is factory provided with a Unit Protection
Module (UPM) that controls the compressor
operation and monitors the safety controls that
protect the unit.
Safety controls include the following:
•High pressure switch located in the refrigerant
discharge line and wired across the HPC
terminals on the UPM
•Low pressure switch located in the unit
refrigerant suction line and wired across
terminals LPC1 and LPC2 on the UPM.
UPM Board Dry Contacts are Normally Open
(NO)
•Water side freeze protection sensor, mounted
close to condensing water coil, monitors
refrigerant temperature between condensing
water coil and expansion valve or capillary
tube. If temperature drops below or remains at
freeze limit trip for 30 seconds, the controller
will shut down the compressor and enter into
a soft lockout condition. The default freeze
limit trip is 26°F, however this can be changed
to 15°F by cutting the R30 or Freeze1 resistor
located on top of DIP switch SW1.
•Evaporator freeze protection sensor, mounted
after the thermal expansion device and the
evaporator, monitors refrigerant temperature
between the evaporator coil and thermal
expansion valve. If temperature drops below or
remains at freeze limit trip for 30 seconds, the
controller will shut down the compressor and
enter into a soft lockout condition. The default
freeze limit trip is 26°F (Figures #12 and #13)
Figure # 13
•The condensate overflow protection sensor is
located in the drain pan of the unit and
connected to the ‘COND’ terminal on the UPM
board. (Figure #14)
NOTE: If unit is employing a fresh water
system (no anti-freeze protection), it is
extremely important to have the Freeze1
R30 resistor set to 26° F in order to shut
down the unit at the appropriate leaving
water temperature and protect your heat
pump from freezing if a freeze sensor is
included.

•RANDOM START: Each controller has an unique
random start delay ranging from 270 to 300 seconds
on initial power up to reduce the chance of multiple
unit simultaneously starting at the same time after
power up or after a power interruption, thus
avoiding creating large electrical spike.
•LOW PRESSURE BYPASS TIMER:If the
compressor is running and the low pressure switch
opens, the controller will keep the compressor ON
for 120 seconds. After 2 minutes if the low pressure
switch remains open, the controllers will shut down
the compressor and enter a soft lockout. The
compressor will not be energized until the low
pressure switch closes and the anti-short cycle time
delay expires. If the low pressure switch opens 2-4
times in 1 hour, the unit will enter a hard lockout. In
order to exit hard lockout power to the unit would
need to be reset.
•BROWNOUT/SURGE/POWER INTERRUPTION PROTECTION:
protection in the UPM board will shut does the
compressor if the incoming power falls below 18
VAC. The compressor will remain OFF until the
voltage is above 18 VAC and ANTI-SHORT CYCLE
TIMER (300 seconds) times out. The unit will not go
into a hard lockout.

•MALFUNCTION OUTPUT: Alarm output is
Normally Open (NO) dry contact.
If pulse is
selected the alarm output will be pulsed. The
fault output will depend on the dip switch
setting for "ALARM". If it is set to "CONST", a
constant signal will be produced to indicate a
fault has occurred and the unit requires
inspection to determine the type of fault. If it is
set to "PULSE", a pulse signal is produced and
a fault code is detected by a remote device
indicating the fault. See L.E.D Fault Indication
below for blink code explanation. The remote
device must have a malfunction detection
capability when the UPM board is set to
"PULSE".
If 24 VAC output is needed R must be wired to
ALR-COM terminal; 24 VAC will be available o
the ALR-OUT terminal when the unit is in the
alarm condition.
The UPM Board includes the following features:
•ANTI-SHORT CYCLE TIMER:
break timer to prevent compressor short cycling.
5 minute delay on
•DISPLAY OUTPUT:
The Display output is a pulse
output connected to the Unit Diagnostic Display
(UDD) and it pulses 24VAC when the unit is in an
lockout alarm condition.

•TEST DIP SWITCH:A test dip switch is provided
to reduce all time delays settings to 10 seconds
during troubleshooting or verification of unit
operation.
Operation of unit in test mode can lead to
accelerated wear and premature failure of
components. The “TEST” switch must be
set back to “NO” after troubleshooting/
servicing.
•FREEZE SENSOR: The default setting for the
freeze limit trip is 26°F (sensor number 1); however
this can be changed to 15°F by cutting the R30
resistor located on top of the DIP switch SW1.
The
default setting for the freeze limit trip is
26°F(sensor number 1); however this can be
changed to 15°F by cutting the R24 resistor
located on top of the DIP switch SW1. Since
freeze sensor 2 is dedicated to monitor the
evaporator coil it is recommended to leave the
factory default setting on the board. The UPM
controller will constantly monitor the
refrigerant temperature with the sensor
mounted close to the condensing water coil
between the thermal expansion valve and
water coil. If temperature drops below or
remains at the freeze limit trip for 30 seconds,
the controller will shut the compressor down
and enter into a soft lockout condition. Both
the status LED and the Alarm contact will be
active. The LED will flash (three (3) times) the
code associated with this alarm condition. If
this alarm occurs 2 times (or 4 if Dip switch is
set to 4) within an hour the UPM controller will
enter into a hard lockout condition. It will
constantly monitor the refrigerant temperature
with the sensor mounted close to the
evaporator between the thermal expansion
valve and evaporator coil as shown in Figure
#13. If temperature drops below or remains at
the freeze limit trip for 30 seconds, the
controller will shut the compressor down and
enter into a soft lockout condition. Both the
status LED and the Alarm contact will be
active. The LED will flash (three (6) times) the
code associated with this alarm condition. If
this alarm occurs 2 times (or 4 if Dip switch is
set to 4) within an hour the controller will enter
into a hard lockout condition.
It is recommended to have a flow switch to
prevent the unit from running if water flow is lost.
•INTELLIGENT RESET: If a fault condition is
initiated, the 5 minute delay on break time
period is initiated and the unit will restart after
these delays expire. During this period the
fault LED will indicate the cause of the fault. If
the fault condition still exists or occurs 2 or 4
times (depending on 2 or 4 setting for Lockout
dip switch) before 60 minutes, the unit will go
into a hard lockout and requires a manual
lockout reset. A single condensate overflow
fault will cause the unit to go into a hard
lockout immediately, and will require a manual
lockout reset.
•LOCKOUT RESET: A hard lockout can be reset
by turning the unit thermostat off and then
back on when the “RESET” dip switch is set to
“Y” or by shutting off unit power at the circuit
breaker when the “RESET” dip switch is set to
“R”.
The blower motor will remain active during a
lockout condition. ECM Interface Board

OPTIONS
Extended Range Option
LV heat pumps are supplied standard with
capillary style expansion device tuned to typical
boiler/tower system operating conditions. For
applications that will experience more extreme
fluid flow rates or temperatures (heating fluid
temperatures below 50°F and/or cooling fluid
temperatures below 60°F or above 100°F), an
extended range option is required.
The extended range option on the LV consists of a
bi-flow, balanced port thermal expansion valve and
an insulated water-to-refrigerant heat exchanger.
With the extended range option installed LV units
can provide heating with fluid temperatures as low
as 20°F and as high as 80°F and cooling with fluid
temperatures as low as 50°F and as high as 110°F.
Unit Mounted Non-Fused Disconnect
Switch
LV heat pumps can be supplied with an optional
unit mounted disconnect switch mounted to the
electrical corner post of the unit.
Field electrical wiring is connected to the switch
and the switch then routes power to the heat
pump electrical box. When the switch is in the
“OFF” position, the heat pump electrical box is
completely de-energized.

Hot Gas Reheat
(Available on size 015 and larger)
LV series heat pumps size 015 and larger can be
provided with hot gas reheat for active
dehumidification. In operation hot gas reheat
dehumidifies space by cooling the air and
removing moisture and then reheating the air back
to a neutral temperature using waste heat from the
compressor. The net effect is to decrease the
relative humidity of the space without changing
the sensible temperature.
The major components of the hot gas reheat
option are the hot gas reheat coil, the reheat
solenoid valve and the control circuit. When the
control circuit energizes the heat pump in reheat
mode, the heat pump will operate in the cooling
mode. The hot gas solenoid valve diverts the
compressor discharge gas to the reheat coil which
is mounted downstream of the unit
evaporator.This hot gas re-heats the cooled air
coming off of the evaporator.
To function, heat pumps with hot gas reheat must
be controlled by both a thermostat and a
humidistat (or a combination thermostat/
humidistat). The humidistat must provide a dry
contact closure on a rise in humidity above set
point.
Note that the ability of the reheat coil to reheat
cooled air back to a neutral temperature is
affected by the water temperature of the system.
At water temperatures of 85° F, the reheat coil can
recover 95% to 100% of the sensible capacity of
the evaporator. At water temperatures below 60°F,
the reheat coil can only recover 5% to 25% of the
sensible capacity of the evaporator.
Refer to the unit wiring diagram for control circuit
details.
Hot Gas Bypass
(Available on size 024 and larger)
The hot gas bypass option can be used to reduce
cooling capacity in low air temperature
applications such as applications with a large
percentage of outside air.
As the air temperature entering the unit drops, the
suction pressure and evaporating temperature
start to drop as well.
At an evaporating temperature of 40°F the hot gas
bypass valve will start to divert a portion of the hot
compressor discharge gas to the low temperature
liquid entering the evaporator coil. This hot gas
serves to warm the evaporator coil and reduces
the cooling capacity of the heat pump.
Note that the hot gas bypass valve is inoperative
in the heating mode.
Internal 2-Way Water Valve
In many applications, including variable pumping
and well water installations, a motorized water
valve is required on the heat pump water circuit.
On the LV series this water valve can be factory
mounted and wired internally to the unit.
The LV series internal water valve option features
a 24VAC motorized water valve rated to 450 psig
working pressure. This valve is wired to open on a
thermostat call for compressor operation (heating
or cooling) and will remain open as long as the
thermostat calls. The valve can remain seated with
up to 20 psi of back pressure on all sizes.
The valve consists of two main parts: the valve
body and the actuator. The valve body is brazed
into the leaving water line of the heat pump and is
a permanent part of the unit. The valve actuator
can be easily removed from the valve body for
service.
Refer to the water side pressure drop table in the
troubleshooting section of this manual to
determine the appropriate pressure drop across
the heat pump with and without the water valve
option.
Note that the 2-Way Water Valve option will add
additional pressure drop between the water in
and water out connections of the heat pump.
Note that this water valve cannot be used as an
isolation valve.
