adequate space around the unit for servicing. See Fig. 1-3 for
overall unit dimensions. Refer to Fig. 4 for an illustration of a
typical horizontal installation.
VERTICAL AND DOWNFLOW UNITS (50RVC,RVR,
RVS,RDS) — Vertical units are designed for indoor installations. While vertical units are typically installed in a floor-level
closet or a small mechanical room, the unit access guidelines
for these units are very similar to those described for horizontal
units. See Fig. 5-8 for overall dimensions. Refer to Fig. 9 for an
example of a typical vertical installation. Refer to Fig. 10 for a
sample downflow installation.
To avoid equipment damage, do not use these units as a
source of heating or cooling during the construction
process. The mechanical components and filters used in
these units quickly become clogged with construction
dirt and debris which may cause system damage.
Electrical shock can cause personal injury or death. Before
installing or servicing system, always turn off main power
to system. There may be more than one disconnect switch.
Turn off accessory heater power if applicable.
GENERAL
This Installation and Start-Up Instructions literature is for
Aquazone™ water source heat pump systems.
Water source heat pumps (WSHPs) are single-package horizontally and vertically mounted units with electronic controls
designed for year-round cooling and heating. Aquazone
WSHPs are available in the following unit configurations:
• RHC standard efficiency with horizontal airflow and
right, left or back discharge
• RHR high efficiency with horizontal airflow and right,
left or back discharge
• RHS premium efficiency with horizontal airflow and
right, left or back discharge
• RVC standard efficiency with vertical airflow and top
discharge
• RVR high efficiency with vertical airflow and top
discharge
• RVS premium efficiency with vertical airflow and top
discharge
• RDS premium efficiency with vertical airflow and bot-
tom discharge (downflow)
IMPORTANT: The installation of water source heat pump
units and all associated components, parts, and accessories
which make up the installation shall be in accordance with
the regulations of ALL authorities having jurisdiction and
MUST conform to all applicable codes. It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to determine and comply
with ALL applicable codes and regulations.
INSTALLATION
Step 1 — Check Jobsite —
maintenance instructions are provided with each unit. Before
unit start-up, read all manuals and become familiar with the
unit and its operation. Thoroughly check out the system before
operation. Complete the inspections and instructions listed
below to prepare a unit for installation. See Tables 1-3 for unit
physical data.
HORIZONTAL UNITS (50RHC,RHR,RHS) — Horizontal
units are designed for indoor installation only. Be sure to allow
Installation, operation and
Step 2 — Check Unit — Upon receipt of shipment at
the jobsite, carefully check the shipment against the bill of
lading. Make sure all units have been received. Inspect the carton or crating of each unit, and inspect each unit for damage.
Ensure the shipping company makes proper notation of any
shortages or damage on all copies of the freight bill. Concealed
damage not discovered during unloading must be reported to
the shipping company within 15 days of receipt of shipment.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the purchaser to file all
necessary claims with the shipping company.
1. Verify unit is correct model for entering water temperature of job.
2. Be sure that the location chosen for unit installation provides ambient temperatures maintained above freezing.
Well water applications are especially susceptible to
freezing.
3. Be sure the installation location is isolated from sleeping
areas, private offices and other acoustically sensitive
spaces.
NOTE: A sound control accessory package may be used
to help eliminate sound in sensitive spaces.
4. Check local codes to be sure a secondary drain pan is not
required under the unit.
5. Be sure unit is mounted at a height sufficient to provide
an adequate slope of the condensate lines. If an appropriate slope cannot be achieved, a field-supplied condensate
pump may be required.
6. Provide sufficient space for duct connection.
7. Provide adequate clearance for filter replacement and
drain pan cleaning. Do not allow piping, conduit, etc. to
block filter access.
8. Provide sufficient access to allow maintenance and
servicing of the fan and fan motor, compressor and coils.
Removal of the entire unit from the closet should not be
necessary.
9. Provide an unobstructed path to the unit within the closet
or mechanical room. Space should be sufficient to allow
removal of unit if necessary.
10. Provide ready access to water valves and fittings, and
screwdriver access to unit side panels, discharge collar,
and all electrical connections.
11. Where access to side panels is limited, pre-removal of the
control box side mounting screws may be necessary for
future servicing.

STORAGE — If the equipment is not needed immediately at
the jobsite, it should be left in its shipping carton and stored in a
clean, dry area of the building or in a warehouse. Units must be
stored in an upright position at all times. If carton stacking is
necessary, stack units a maximum of 3 high. Do not remove
any equipment from its shipping package until it is needed for
installation.
PROTECTION — Once the units are properly positioned on
the jobsite, cover them with either a shipping carton, vinyl film,
or an equivalent protective covering. Cap open ends of pipes
stored on the jobsite. This precaution is especially important in
areas where painting, plastering, or spraying of fireproof material, etc. is not yet complete. Foreign material that accumulates
within the units can prevent proper start-up and necessitate
costly clean-up operations.
Before installing any of the system components, be sure to
examine each pipe, fitting, and valve, and remove any dirt or
foreign material found in or on these components.
DO NOT store or install units in corrosive environments or
in locations subject to temperature or humidity extremes
(e.g., attics, garages, rooftops, etc.). Corrosive conditions
and high temperature or humidity can significantly reduce
performance, reliability, and service life. Always move
units in an upright position. Tilting units on their sides may
cause equipment damage.
INSPECT UNIT — To prepare the unit for installation, complete the procedures listed below:
1. Compare the electrical data on the unit nameplate with
ordering and shipping information to verify that the
correct unit has been shipped.
2. Verify that the unit is the correct model for the entering
water temperature of the job.
3. Do not remove the packaging until the unit is ready for
installation.
4. Verify that the refrigerant tubing is free of kinks or dents,
and that it does not touch other unit components.
5. Inspect all electrical connections. Be sure connections are
clean and tight at the terminals.
6. Loosen compressor bolts until the compressor rides freely
on springs. Remove shipping restraints.
7. Remove the four
1
/4 in. shipping bolts from compressor
support plate (two bolts on each side) to maximize vibration and sound alternation.
Failure to remove shipping brackets from spring-mounted
compressors will cause excessive noise and could cause
component failure due to added vibration.
8. Remove any blower support cardboard from inlet of the
blower.
9. Locate and verify any accessory kit located in compressor
section.
10. Remove any access panel screws that may be difficult to
remove once unit is installed.

conversion process is the same for right and left return configurations. See Fig. 11 and 12.
NOTE: It is not possible to convert return air between left or
right return models in the field due to refrigerant piping
changes.
Preparation
— The unit should be on the ground in a well lit
area for conversion. Hung units should be taken down to
ground level before converting.
Side to Back Discharge Conversion
1. Remove screws to free the top and discharge panels. See
Fig. 11.
2. Remove the access panel and set aside.
3. Lift the discharge panel from side of unit and rotate it to
back using care not to damage blower wiring.
4. Check blower wire routing and connections for undo
tension or contact with sheet metal edges. Re-route if
necessary.
5. Check refrigerant tubing for contact with other components. Adjust if necessary.
6. Reinstall top panel using screws set aside in Step 1.
NOTE: Location for some screws at bottom of discharge panel
may have to be changed.
7. Manually spin fan wheel to check for obstructions.
Adjust for any obstruction found.
8. Replace access panel.
Back to Side Discharge Conversion
— Follow instructions
above for Side to Back Discharge Conversion, noting the
panels would be reversed.

Step 3 — Unit Location — The following guidelines
should be considered when choosing a location for a WSHP:
• Units are for indoor use only.
• Locate in areas where ambient temperatures are between
40 F and 100 F and relative humidity is no greater than
75%.
• Provide sufficient space for water, electrical and duct
connections.
• Locate unit in an area that allows easy access and
removal of filter and access panels.
• Allow enough space for service personnel to perform
maintenance.
• Return air must be able to freely enter the space if unit
needs to be installed in a confined area such as a closet.
NOTE: Correct placement of the horizontal unit can play an
important part in minimizing sound problems. Since ductwork is normally applied to these units, the unit can be
placed so that the principal sound emission is outside the occupied space in sound-critical applications. A fire damper
may be required by the local code if a fire wall is penetrated.
FIELD CONVERSION OF DISCHARGE AIR — The discharge air of the 50RHC,RHR,RHS horizontal units can be
