FEATURES / BENEFITS
A PERFECT BALANCE BETWEEN
BUDGET LIMITS, ENERGY SAVINGS AND
COMFORT.
The 38MA*R series 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 ductless system permits creative solutions to design problems
such as:
SAdd−ons to current space (an office or family room
addition)
SSpecial space requirements
SWhen changes in the load cannot be handled by the
existing system
SWhen adding air conditioning to spaces that are heated
by hydronic or electric heat and have no ductwork
SHistorical renovations or any application where
preserving the look of the original structure is essential.
The ideal compliment to your ducted system when it is impractical
or prohibitively expensive to use ductwork.
The 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.

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 38MA*R unit is the right choice. The advanced,
horizontal airflow design distributes air more evenly over the coil.
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. In addition, since 38MA*R units can be
installed close to an outside wall, coils are protected from vandals
and severe weather.
FAST INSTALLATION
This compact ductless split system is simple to install. A mounting
bracket is standard with the indoor units and only wire and piping
need to be run between the indoor and outdoor units (High Walls).
These units are fast and easy to install ensuring minimal disruption
to customers in the home or workplace. This makes the 38MA*R
ductless split systems the equipment of choice, especially in retrofit
situations.
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 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.
The indoor units include protection against freeze−up and high
evaporator temperatures on heat pumps.
The condensing units on heat pumps are protected by a three
minute time delay before the compressor starts the over−current
protection and the high temperature protection.
INDIVIDUAL ROOM COMFORT
Maximum comfort is provided because each space can be
controlled individually based on usage pattern. The air sweep (in
some indoor models) feature provided permits optimal room air
mixing to eliminate hot and cold spots for occupant comfort. In
addition, year−round comfort can be provided with heat pumps.
ECONOMICAL OPERATION
The ductless split system design allows individual room heating or
cooling when required. There is no need to run large supply−air
fans or chilled water pumps to handle a few spaces with unique
load patterns. In addition, because air is moved only in the space
required, no energy is wasted while air moves through the ducts.
EASY−TO−USE CONTROLS
The indoor units 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.
ACCESSORIES
Customizing these ductless split systems to your application is
easily accomplished.
Adding a condensate pump accessory to the indoor fan coil
provides installation flexibility.

Select equipment that either matches or supports slightly more than
the anticipated peak load. This provides better humidity control,
fewer unit cycles, and less part−load operation.
For units used in spaces with high sensible loads, base equipment
selection on unit sensible load, not on total anticipated load. Adjust
for anticipated room wet bulb temperature to avoid undersizing the
equipment.
UNIT MOUNTING (OUTDOOR)
Refer to the unit’s installation instructions for further details.
Unit leveling− For reliable operation, units should be level in all
planes.
Clearance − Minimum clearance (see Fig. 5) must be provided
for airflow. The condensing units are designed for free−flow
application. Air inlets and outlets should not be restricted.
Unit location− A location which is convenient to installation and
not exposed to strong winds. A location that can bear the weight of
the outdoor unit and where the outdoor unit can be mounted in a
level position.
Do not install the indoor or outdoor units in a location with special
environmental conditions. For those applications, contact your
sales representative.

DRAIN CONNECTIONS
Install drains to meet the local sanitation codes.
See the physical dimension tables for the drain sizes.
REFRIGERANT LINES
General refrigerant line sizing:
1. The outdoor units are shipped with a full charge of R410A
refrigerant. All charges, line sizing, and capacities are based on
runs of 25 ft. (7.6 m). For runs over 25 ft. (7.6 m), review the
Long Line Applications section for the proper charge
adjustments.
2. Refrigerant lines should not be buried in the ground. If it is
necessary to bury the lines, do not bury more than 36−in (914
mm). Provide a minimum 6−in (152 mm) vertical rise to the
service valves to prevent refrigerant migration.
3. Both lines must be insulated. Use a minimum of 1/2−in.
(12.7 mm) thick insulation. Closed−cell insulation is
recommended in all long−line applications.
4. Special consideration should be given to isolating the
interconnecting tubing from the building structure. Isolate the
tubing so vibration or noise is not transmitted into the
structure.
Long Line Applications:
1. No change in line sizing is required.
2. Add refrigerant per the following table.

WIRING
All wires must be sized per NEC (National Electrical Code) or
CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) and local codes. Use Electrical
Data table MCA (minimum circuit amps) and MOCP (maximum
over current protection) to correctly size the wires and the
disconnect fuse or breakers respectively. Per the caution note, only
stranded copper conductors with a 600 volt rating and double
insulated copper wire must be used.
The use of BX cable is not recommended.
Recommended Connection Method for Power and
Communication Wiring
Power and Communication Wiring:
The main power is supplied to the outdoor unit. The field supplied
14/3 power/communication wiring from the outdoor unit to indoor
unit consists of four (4) wires and provides the power for the
indoor unit. Two wires are high voltage AC power, one is
communication wiring and the other is a ground wire.
Recommended Connection Method for Power and
Communication Wiring (To minimize
communication wiring interference)
PowerWiring:
The main power is supplied to the outdoor unit. The field supplied
power wiring from the outdoor unit to indoor unit consists of three
(3) wires and provides the power for the indoor unit. Two wires are
high voltage AC power and one is a ground wire.
To minimize voltage drop, the factory recommended wire size is
14/2 stranded with a ground.
Communication Wiring:
A separate shielded Stranded copper conductor only, with a 600
volt rating and double insulated copper wire, must be used as the
communication wire from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit.
Please use a separate shielded 16GA stranded control wire.
