INTRODUCTION
The 601A and 602A heat pumps are fully self-contained and
designed for outdoor installation (See Fig. 1). Standard units are
shipped in a horizontal-discharge configuration for installation on
a ground-level slab. Units can be converted to downflow (vertical)
discharge configurations for rooftop applications. See Fig. 2 and 3
for unit dimensions.
RECEIVING AND INSTALLATION
I. CHECK EQUIPMENT
A. IDENTIFY UNIT
The unit model number and serial number are stamped on the unit
identification plate. Check this information against shipping papers.
B. INSPECT SHIPMENT
Inspect for shipping damage while unit is still on shipping pallet.
If unit appears to be damaged or is torn loose from its anchorage,
have it examined by transportation inspectors before removal.
Forward claim papers directly to transportation company. Manufacturer is not responsible for any damage incurred in transit.
Check all items against shipping list. Immediately notify the
nearest Bryant Air Conditioning office if any item is missing. To
prevent loss or damage, leave all parts in original packages until
installation.
II. PROVIDE UNIT SUPPORT
A. ROOF CURB
Install accessory roof curb in accordance with instructions shipped
with curb (See Fig. 5). Install insulation, cant strips, roofing, and
flashing. Ductwork must be attached to curb.
IMPORTANT: The gasketing of the unit to the roof curb is
critical for a watertight seal. Install gasketing material supplied
with the roof curb. Improperly applied gasketing also can result in
air leaks and poor unit performance.
Curb should be level to within 1/4 in. (See Fig. 6). This is
necessary for unit drain to function properly. Refer to accessory
roof curb installation instructions for additional information as
required.
B. SLAB MOUNT
Place the unit on a solid, level concrete pad that is a minimum of
4 in. thick with 2 in. above grade (See Fig. 7). The slab should
extend approximately 2 in. beyond the casing on all 4 sides of the
unit. Do not secure the unit to the slab except when required by
local codes.
C. GROUND MOUNT
The unit may be installed either on a slab or placed directly on the
ground if local codes permit. Place the unit on level ground
prepared with gravel for condensate discharge.
III. PROVIDE CLEARANCES
The required minimum service clearances are shown in Figs. 2 and
3. Adequate ventilation and outdoor air must be provided. The
outdoor fan draws air through the outdoor coil and discharges it
through the top fan grille. Be sure that the fan discharge does not
recirculate to the outdoor coil. Do not locate the unit in either a
corner or under an overhead obstruction. The minimum clearance
under a partial overhang (such as a normal house overhang) is 36
in. above the unit top. The maximum horizontal extension of a
partial overhang must not exceed 48 in. For extended overhangs,
provide a minimum clearance of 48 in.
IMPORTANT: Do not restrict outdoor airflow. An air restriction
at either the outdoor-air inlet or the fan discharge may be
detrimental to compressor life.
Do not place the unit where water, ice, or snow from an overhang
or roof will damage or flood the unit. Do not install the unit on
carpeting or other combustible materials. Slab-mounted units
should be at least 4 in. above the highest expected water and runoff
levels. Do not use unit if it has been under water.
IV. RIG AND PLACE UNIT
Rigging and handling of this equipment can be hazardous for many
reasons due to the installation location (roofs, elevated structures,
etc.)
Only trained, qualified crane operators and ground support staff
should handle and install this equipment.
When working with this equipment, observe precautions in the
literature, on tags, stickers, and labels attached to the equipment,
and any other safety precautions that might apply.
Follow all applicable safety codes. Wear safety shoes and work
gloves.
A. INSPECTION
Prior to initial use, and at monthly intervals, all rigging brackets
and straps should be visually inspected for any damage, evidence
of wear, structural deformation, or cracks. Particular attention
should be paid to excessive wear at hoist hooking points and load
support areas. Brackets or straps showing any kind of wear in these
areas must not be used and should be discarded.
B. INSTALLATION
1. Remove unit from shipping carton. Leave top shipping skid
on the unit as a spreader bar to prevent the rigging straps

Select and size ductwork, supply-air registers, and return air grilles
according to ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers) recommendations.
The unit has duct flanges on the supply- and return-air openings on
the side of the unit.
When designing and installing ductwork, consider the following:
WARNING: For vertical supply and return units, tools
or parts could drop into ductwork and cause serious injury
or death. Install a 90 degree turn in the return ductwork
between the unit and the conditioned space. If a 90 degree
elbow cannot be installed, then a grille of sufficient
strength and density should be installed to prevent objects
from falling into the conditioned space. Units with
electric heaters require 90 degree elbow in supply duct.
1. All units should have field-supplied filters or accessory
filter rack installed in the return-air side of the unit.
Recommended sizes for filters are shown in Tables 1 and 2.
2. Avoid abrupt duct size increases and reductions. Abrupt
change in duct size adversely affects air performance.
IMPORTANT: Use flexible connectors between ductwork and
unit to prevent transmission of vibration. Use suitable gaskets to
ensure weather tight and airtight seal. When electric heat is
installed, use fireproof canvas (or similar heat resistant material)
connector between ductwork and unit discharge connection. If
flexible duct is used, insert a sheet metal sleeve inside duct. Heat
resistant duct connector (or sheet metal sleeve) must extend 24-in.

VI. PROVIDE FOR CONDENSATE DISPOSAL
NOTE: Ensure that condensate-water disposal methods comply
with local codes, restrictions, and practices.
The units dispose of condensate through a 3/4 in. NPT female
fitting that exits on the compressor end of the unit. Condensate
water can be drained directly onto the roof in rooftop installations
(where permitted) or onto a gravel apron in ground level installations. Install a field-supplied condensate trap at end of condensate
connection to ensure proper drainage. Make sure that the outlet of
the trap is at least 1 in. lower than the drain-pan condensate
connection to prevent the pan from overflowing. Prime the trap
with water. When using a gravel apron, make sure it slopes away
from the unit.
If the installation requires draining the condensate water away
from the unit, install a field-supplied 2-in. trap at the condensate
connection to ensure proper drainage. Condensate trap is available
as an accessory or is field-supplied. Make sure that the outlet of the
trap is at least 1 in. lower than the unit drain-pan condensate
connection to prevent the pan from overflowing. Connect a drain
trough using a minimum of field-supplied 3/4 -in. PVC or
field-supplied 3/4 -in. copper pipe at outlet end of the 2 -in. trap
(See Fig. 11). Do not undersize the tube. Pitch the drain trough
downward at a slope of at least 1 in. every 10 ft. of horizontal run.
Be sure to check the drain trough for leaks. Prime the trap at the
beginning of the cooling season start-up.

IMPORTANT: Three-phase, scroll compressors are direction
oriented. Unit must be checked to ensure proper compressor
3-phase power lead orientation. If not corrected within 5 minute,
the internal protector will shut off the compressor. The 3-phase
power leads to the unit must be reversed to correct rotation. When
turning backwards, scroll compressors emit elevated noise levels,
and the difference between compressor suction and discharge
pressures may be dramatically lower than normal.
B. CHECKINGANDADJUSTINGREFRIGERANT
CHARGE
The refrigerant system is fully charged with R-22 refrigerant and
is tested and factory sealed. Allow system to operate a minimum
of 15 minutes before checking or adjusting charge.
NOTE: Adjustment of the refrigerant charge is not required
unless the unit is suspected of not having the proper R-22 charge.
The charging label and the tables shown refer to system temperatures and pressures in cooling mode only. A refrigerant charging
label is attached to the outside of the service access door. If charge

level is suspect in Heating mode, reclaim all refrigerant and charge
to nameplate amount. (This information may be obtained from the
physical data table also.)
IMPORTANT: When evaluating the refrigerant charge, an indicated adjustment to the specified factory charge must always be
very minimal. If a substantial adjustment is indicated, an abnormal
condition exists somewhere in the cooling system, such as insufficient airflow across either coil or both coils.
C. REFRIGERANT CHARGE
The amount of refrigerant charge is listed on the unit nameplate
and/or the physical data table. Refer to the Refrigeration Service
Techniques Manual, Refrigerants Section.
D. NO CHARGE
Check for leak. Use standard evacuating techniques. After evacuating system to 500 microns, weigh in the specified amount of
refrigerant (refer to system data plate).

E. LOW CHARGE COOLING
Use Cooling Charging Charts (Fig. 24-33). Vary refrigerant until
the conditions of the chart are met. Note that charging charts are
different from type normally used. Charts are based on charging
the units to correct superheat for the various operating conditions.
Accurate pressure gauge and temperature sensing devices are
required. Connect the pressure gauge to the service port on the
suction line. Mount the temperature sensing device on the suction
line and insulate it so that the outdoor ambient does not affect the
reading. Indoor air CFM must be within the normal operating
range of the unit.
F. TO USE COOLING CHARGING CHARTS
Take the outdoor ambient temperature and read the suction
pressure gauge. Refer to the chart to determine what the suction
temperature should be.
NOTE: If the problem causing the inaccurate readings is a
refrigerant leak, refer to Check for Refrigerant Leaks section.
G. INDOOR AIRFLOW AND AIRFLOW ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION: For heating and cooling operation, the rec-
ommended airflow is 350 to 450 cfm for each 12,000
Btuh of rated cooling capacity. For units with optional
electric heat, the airflow must not be reduced below the
levels stated in Tables 3 and 4. Failure to maintain these
airflows could result in damage to the unit.
Tables 7 and 8 shows both heating and cooling airflows at various
external static pressures. Refer to these tables to determine the
airflow for the system being installed.
NOTE: Be sure that all supply-and return-air grilles are open, free
from obstructions, and adjusted properly.

To change the speed of the indoor fan motor (IFM), remove the fan
motor speed leg lead from the Time Delay Relay (TDR). This wire
is attached to TDR-3 for 3-phase units. To change the speed,
remove and replace with lead for desired blower motor speed.
Insulate the removed lead to avoid contact with chassis parts.
For 460-v GE Motors—The motor leads are color coded as
follows:
3-SPEED
Black = high
Violet = jumper
Orange = medium
Red = low
To change the speed of the indoor fan motor (IFM), remove fan
motor speed lead from the Time Delay Relay (TDR) and replace
with the lead for the desired blower motor speed. The motor speed
lead is attached to terminal TDR-3. For low and medium speeds,
black must be connected to the jumper wire. Insulate removed lead
end to avoid contact with chassis parts. To select high speed on
460-v GE motors, separate the black female quick connect (QC)
from the jumper lead male quick connect (QC) and connect the
black lead to the BR. Insulate the jumper to avoid contact with any
chassis parts.

EXTERNAL STATIC PRESSURE (IN. WG)
For longer life, operating economy, and continuing efficiency,
clean accumulated dirt and grease from the blower wheel and
motor annually.
WARNING: Disconnect and tag electrical power to the
unit before cleaning and lubricating the blower motor and
wheel. Failure to adhere to this warning could cause
serious injury or death.
III. OUTDOOR COIL, INDOOR COIL, AND
CONDENSATE DRAIN PAN
Inspect the condenser coil, evaporator coil, and condensate drain
pan at least once each heating and cooling season or sooner if
conditions require.
The coils are easily cleaned when dry; therefore, inspect and clean
the coils either before or after each cooling season. Remove all
obstructions, including weeds and shrubs, that interfere with the
airflow through the condenser coil.
Straighten bent fins with a fin comb. If coated with dirt or lint,
clean the coils with a vacuum cleaner, using the soft brush
attachment. Be careful not to bend the fins. If coated with oil or
grease, clean the coils with a mild detergent-and-water solution.
Rinse coils with clear water, using a garden hose. Be careful not to
splash water on motors, insulation, wiring, or air filter(s). For best
results, spray condenser coil fins from inside to outside the unit.
On units with an outer and inner condenser coil, be sure to clean
between the coils. Be sure to flush all dirt and debris from the unit
base.
Inspect the drain pan and condensate drain line when inspecting
the coils. Clean the drain pan and condensate drain by removing all
foreign matter from the pan. Flush the pan and drain trough with
clear water. Do not splash water on the insulation, motor, wiring,
or air filter(s). If the drain trough is restricted, clear it with a
“plumbers snake” or similar probe device. Ensure that the auxiliary
drain port above the drain trough is also clear.
IV. OUTDOOR FAN
CAUTION: Keep the condenser fan free from all ob-
structions to ensure proper cooling operation. Never place
articles on top of the unit. Damage to unit may result.
1. Inspect the fan blades for cracks or bends.

V. ELECTRICAL CONTROLS AND WIRING
Inspect and check the electrical controls and wiring annually. Be
WARNING: System under pressure. Relieve pressure
and recover all refrigerant before system repair or final
unit disposal to avoid serious injury or death. Use all
service ports and open all flow-control devices, including
solenoid valves.
sure to turn off the electrical power to the unit and install lockout
tag.
Remove access panel to locate all the electrical controls and
wiring. Check all electrical connections for tightness. Tighten all
screw connections. If any smoky or burned connections are
noticed, disassemble the connection, clean all the parts, restrip the
wire end and reassemble the connection properly and securely.
After inspecting the electrical controls and wiring, replace all the
panels. Start the unit, and observe at least one complete cooling
cycle to ensure proper operation. If discrepancies are observed in
operating cycle, or if a suspected malfunction has occurred, check
each electrical component with the proper electrical instrumentation. Refer to the unit wiring label when making these checkouts.
NOTE: Refer to the Sequence of Operation section as an aid in
determining proper control operation.
VI. REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT
Inspect all refrigerant tubing connections and the unit base for oil
accumulation annually. Detecting oil generally indicates a refrigerant leak.
If oil is detected or if low performance is suspected, leak-test all
refrigerant tubing using an electronic leak detector, or liquid-soap
solution. If a refrigerant leak is detected, refer to Check for
Refrigerant Leaks section.
If no refrigerant leaks are found and low performance is suspected,
refer to Checking and Adjusting Refrigerant Charge section.
VII. INDOOR AIRFLOW
The indoor airflow does not require checking unless improper
performance is suspected. If a problem exists, be sure that all
supply- and return-air grilles are open and free from obstructions,
and that the air filter is clean. When necessary, refer to Indoor
Airflow and Airflow Adjustments section to check the system
airflow.
VIII. METERING DEVICE
Refrigerant metering devices are fixed orifices and are located in
the inlet header to the indoor and outdoor coils.

IX. LIQUID LINE STRAINERS
The liquid line strainers (to protect metering devices) are made of
wire mesh and are located in the liquid lines on the inlet side of the
metering devices.
X. HIGH FLOW VALVES
High flow valves are located on the compressor hot gas and
suction tubes. Large black plastic caps distinguish these valves
with O-rings located inside the caps. These valves can not be
accessed for service in the field. Ensure the plastic caps are in
place and tight or the possibility of refrigerant leakage could occur.
XI. TIME-DELAY RELAY
The Time-Delay Relay (TDR) is a solid-state control, recycle
delay timer which keeps indoor blower operating for 60 sec. after
thermostat is satisfied. This delay enables blower to remove
residual cooling in coil after compression shutdown, thereby
improving efficiency of system. The sequence of operation is that
on closure of wall thermostat and at end of a fixed on delay of 1
sec., fan relay is energized. When thermostat is satisfied, an off
delay is initiated. When fixed delay of 60± 5 sec. is completed, fan
relay is de-energized and fan motor stops. If wall thermostat closes
during this delay, TDR is reset and fan relay remains energized.
TDR is a 24-v device that operates within a range of 15-v to 30-v
and draws about 0.5 amps. If the blower runs continuously instead
of cycling off when the fan switch is set on AUTO, the TDR is
probably defective and must be replaced.
XII. LOSS OF CHARGE SWITCH
The loss of charge switch is located on the outdoor liquid line. This
switch contains a Schrader core depressor. This switch opens at 7
psig and closes at 22 psig. No adjustment is necessary.
NOTE: Because these switches are attached to refrigeration
system under pressure, it is not advisable to remove this device for
troubleshooting unless you are reasonably certain that a problem
exists. If switch must be removed, remove and recover all system
charge so that pressure gauges read 0 psi. Never open system
without breaking vacuum with dry nitrogen.
XIII. CHECK DEFROST THERMOSTAT
There is a liquid header with a brass distributor and feeder tube
going into outdoor coil. At the end of 1 of the feeder tubes, there
is a 3/8-in. OD stub tube approximately 3 in. long (See Fig. 36).
The defrost thermostat should be located on this stub tube. Note
that there is only 1 stub tube used with liquid header, and on most
units it is the bottom circuit.
XIV. DEFROST THERMOSTAT
Defrost thermostat signals heat pump that conditions are right for
defrost or that conditions have changed to terminate defrost. It is
a thermally actuated switch clamped to outdoor coil to sense its
temperature. Normal temperature range is closed at 30° +/- 3°F
and open at 80° +/- 5°F.
