FEATURES / BENEFITS
AN INEXPENSIVE AND CREATIVE
SOLUTION TO DESIGN PROBLEMS.
The 38GVC(Q)/40GVC(Q) inverter driven ductless split systems
are a matched combination of an outdoor condensing unit and an
indoor fan coil unit connected only by refrigerant tubing and wires.
The fan coil is mounted on the wall, near the ceiling. This selection
of fan coils permits inexpensive and creative solutions to design
problems such as:
S Add--on to current space (sun room)
The ideal compliment to your ducted system when it is impractical
or prohibitively expensive to use ductwork.
S Special space requirements
S When adding air conditioning to spaces that are heated
by hydronic or electric heat and have no ductwork.
S Historical renovations or any application where
preserving the look of the original structure is essential.
These compact indoor fan coil units take up very little space in the
room and do not obstruct windows. The fan coils are attractively
styled to blend with most room decors. Advanced system
components incorporate innovative technology to provide reliable
cooling performance at low sound levels.

INVERTER TECHNOLOGY -- COMFORT
The inverter driven compressor is designed to run at various input
power frequencies (Hz) which controls the motor speed of the
compressor.
Even Temperature – The control package, including the inverter,
monitors outdoor and indoor temperatures as they relate to the
selected indoor set point and adjusts the speed of the compressor to
match the load and keep the system operating continuously rather
than cycling and creating temperature swings. This translates to
higher comfort levels for the occupants.
Rapid Pull Down/Warm--Up – Comfort is increased by the
ability to the inverter system to ramp up the compressor speed
enabling the system to reach the user selected room temperature set
point quicker.
Humidity Control – Running the system for longer periods and
continuously varying the compressor speed will enhance the
humidity control.
INDIVIDUAL ROOM COMFORT
Maximum comfort is provided because each space can be
controlled individually based on the usage pattern. The air sweep
feature provided permits optimal room mixing to eliminate hot and
cold spots for the occupant comfort.
38/40GVC(Q)
LOW SOUND LEVELS
When noise is a concern, the ductless split systems are the answer.
The indoor units are whisper quiet. There are no compressors
indoors, either in the conditioned space or directly over it, and
there is none of the noise usually generated by air being forced
through ductwork.
When sound ordinances and proximity to neighbors demand quiet
operation, the 38GVC(Q) unit is the right choice. With the inverter
technology, these units run at lower speeds most of the time
resulting in reduced sound levels.
INVERTER TECHNOLOGY – ENHANCED
ECONOMICAL OPERATION
Ductless systems are inherently economical to operate. Individual
rooms are heated or cooled only when required, and since the air is
delivered directly to the space, there is no need to use additional
energy to move the air in the ductwork. This economical operation
is enhanced further when the inverter system output matches the
load resulting in a more efficient system.
EASY--TO--USE CONTROLS
The high--wall systems have microprocessor--based controls to
provide the ultimate in comfort and efficiency. The user friendly
wireless remote control provides the interface between the user and
the unit.
FAST INSTALLATION
This compact ductless split system is simple to install. A mounting
bracket is standard with the indoor units and only wires and piping
need to be run between the indoor and outdoor units. These units
are fast and easy to install ensuring minimal disruption to
customers in homes or workplace. This makes the 38/40GVC(Q)
systems the equipment of choice for retrofit applications.
SIMPLE SERVICING AND
MAINTENANCE
Removing the top panel on outdoor units provides immediate
access to the control compartment, providing a service technician
access to check unit operation. In addition, the draw--thru design of
the outdoor section means that dirt accumulates on the outside
surface of the coil. Coils can be cleaned quickly from the inside
using a pressure hose and detergent.
On all indoor units, service and maintenance expense is reduced
due to easy--to--use cleanable filters. In addition, these high wall
systems have extensive self--diagnostics to assist in
troubleshooting.
BUILT--IN RELIABILITY
ductless split system indoor and outdoor units are designed to
provide years of trouble--free operation.
Both the indoor and outdoor units are well protected. Whenever
the microprocessor detects abnormal conditions, the unit will stop
and an error code is displayed. For a complete list of abnormal
conditions that are detected refer to the Safety and Reliability
section in the Standard Features and Accessories on page 4.
Inverter systems provide additional reliability due to soft start. This
refers to the ability of the inverter to start the compressor motor
using reduced voltage and reduced current. This feature is
beneficial from an electrical standpoint (eliminates current spikes)
as well as an overall reliability standpoint due to reduced stress on
all associated system components.
ACCESSORIES
A condensate pump accessory is available to provide installation
flexibility for those applications where gravity cannot be used to
dispose of the condensate.
A wired controller is available on sizes 30k and 36k units.
AGENCY LISTINGS
All systems are listed with AHRI (Air conditioning, Heating, and
Refrigeration Institute) and are ETL certified per UL 1995
standard.
SECURE OPERATION
If security is an issue, outdoor and indoor units are connected only
by refrigerant piping and wiring to prevent intruders from crawling
through ductwork or wall openings. In addition since the
38GVC(Q) can be installed close to an outside wall, coils are
protected from vandals and severe weather.

Fig. 8 – Refrigerant Line Routing
General Guidelines:
1. The 38GVC(Q) units are shipped with full charge of
R--410A refrigerant. All charges, line sizing, and capacities
are based on runs of 25ft (7.6 m). For runs over 25ft (7.6
m), consult long line section for charge adjustments.
2. Refrigerant lines should not be buried in the ground. If it is
necessary to bury the lines, not more than 36 inches (914
mm) should be buried. Provide a minimum of 6 inch (152
mm) vertical rise to service valves to prevent refrigerant
migration.
3. Both lines must be insulated. Use a minimum of 1/2 inch
(12.7 mm) thick insulation. Closed--cell insulation is
recommended in all long--line applications.
4. Special consideration should be given to isolating
interconnecting tubing from the building structure. Isolate
the tubing so that vibration or noise is not transmitted into
the structure.
Long Line Applications:
1. No change in line sizing is required.
2. Add refrigerant per table below.

CONTROL SYSTEM
The 40GVC(Q)/38GVC(Q) unit is equipped with a microprocessor
controls to operate the system and give optimum levels of comfort
and operating efficiency.
There are microprocessor boards and thermistors located in both
the indoor and outdoor units. The thermistors monitor the system
operation and control the operating mode. The change in the
settings or the modes of operation, use the factory supplied
wireless remote control.
The 40GVC(Q)/38GVC(Q) unit has the following operating
modes:
S Fan Only
S Auto
S Heating (on Heat Pumps only)
S Cooling
S Dehumidification (Dry)
FAN ON LY -- In Fan Only mode, the system filters and circulates
the room air without changing the room air temperature.
AUTO -- In Auto mode, the system will automatically select one of
the following operating modes: cooling, heating or fan only based
on the difference between the room temperature and the set point
temperature.
HEATING -- In the Heating mode, the system heats and filters
room air.
COOLING -- When in Cooling mode, the fan runs all the time and
the system cools, dries and filters room air.
A09112
DEHUMIDIFICATION (DRY) -- in Dehumidification (Dry)
mode, the system dries, filters and slightly cools room temperature.
This mode does not take place of a dehumidifier.
In addition to the above modes that are selected by using the
remote control, the unit can run in emergency mode by using a
manual button. This mode is used when the remote is misplaced or
the batteries in the remote died. In this mode the unit will run in
AUTO mode with a predetermined set point (76_F/24.4_C)
For more details on the sequence of operation please refer to the
service manual for those units.
WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL
1. A wireless remote control is supplied for system operation.
2. Each battery--operated wireless remote control may be used
to control more than one unit.
3. The wireless remote control has a range of 25 ft. (7.6 m).
START--UP SEQUENCE
In both cooling and heating mode, the compressor does a soft start
from 0 Hz run speed approximately 52 Hz run speed. The event
takes about 55 seconds. This eliminates high in rush currents
associated with fixed speed compressors and also reduces the stress
on internal compressor parts typically seen with a full speed
startup.
COOLING MODE
In Cooling mode, the first step in compressor speed after the soft
start is a run speed of approximately 52 Hz for 150 seconds. The
next step is a ramp up to approximately 78 Hz.
If, within 20 minutes, the load is satisfied at 78 Hz, the compressor
will start to ramp back down in speed in an effort to track the load.
If the load is not satisfied within 20 minutes, the compressor speed
will ramp up to approximately 85 Hz. The compressor will operate
at this speed until the load is satisfied or a maximum of 20 minutes
after which the compressor will shut off for 3 minutes.
After 3 minutes the cycle repeats itself until the load is satisfied.
HEATING MODE
In Heating mode, the first step in compressor speed after the soft
start is a run speed of approximately 52 Hz for 150 seconds. The
next step is a ramp up to approximately 72 Hz.
If, within 25 minutes, the load is satisfied at 72 Hz, the compressor
will start to ramp back down in speed in an effort to track the load.
If the load is not satisfied within 25 minutes, the compressor speed
will ramp up to approximately 82 Hz.
The compressor will operate at this speed until the load is satisfied
or a maximum of 18 minutes after which the compressor will shut
off for 3 minutes.
After 3 minutes the cycle repeats itself until the load is satisfied.
