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. Be sure that the location chosen for unit installation pro­vides ambient temperatures maintained above freezing. Well water applications are especially susceptible to freezing.
2. 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.
3. Check local codes to be sure a secondary drain pan is not required under the unit.
4. 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.
5. Provide sufficient space for duct connection. Do not allow the weight of the ductwork to rest on the unit.
6. Provide adequate clearance for filter replacement and drain pan cleaning. Do not allow piping, conduit, etc. to block filter access.
7. 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.
8. Provide an unobstructed path to the unit within the closet or mechanical room. Space should be sufficient to allow removal of unit if necessary.
9. Provide ready access to water valves and fittings, and screwdriver access to unit side panels, discharge collar, and all electrical connections.
10. 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 cartons 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.
CAUTION
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. Do not remove the packaging until the unit is ready for installation.
3. Verify that the unit’s refrigerant tubing is free of kinks or dents, and that it does not touch other unit components.
4. Inspect all electrical connections. Be sure connections are clean and tight at their terminations.
5. Remove any blower support cardboard from inlet of the blower.
6. Locate and verify any accessory kit located in compressor and/or blower section.
7. Remove any access panel screws that may be difficult to remove once unit is installed.
Step 3 — Locate Unit — 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 39 F and 102 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.
Step 4 — Install Drywall — All rough-in instructions
and drawings are designed for a single layer of wall. Refer to Fig. 6. Rough-in dimensions will be affected if drywall thickness is different than not fit snugly to the wall and form a tight seal. Install drywall using conventional construction methods. Drywall cannot be fastened to the studs with adhesive alone; a mechanical fasten­er such as drywall screws must be used.
Vacuum all drywall dust and construction debris from coils,
drain pans and blower discharge plenum after cutting out sup­ply and return holes for grilles. When installation is complete, cover cabinet supply and return air openings.
Do not allow paint or wall texture over-spray to contact coil,
fan or other unit components. Warranties are void if paint or other foreign debris is allowed to contaminate internal unit components.

rangement. This is the most cost effective method of piping to install since the water is supplied and returned to a riser column at the same place, at the bottom or top of the building. Howev­er, this type of system requires more effort to individually bal­ance water flow to the units. The risers are normally capped at the ends opposite the main supply and return piping and may require a field-installed flush and vent loop.
The first reverse return system shows a system, which is commonly used to minimize individual unit water flow balanc­ing and is often referred to as “self balancing.” This riser ar­rangement has a natural affinity to balance the flow to each unit in the riser column. However, individual unit balancing may still be required. This piping system is used on 2-pipe systems only and has an individual return for each riser column.
The second reverse return system shows a system with a common reverse return riser installed separately from the individual unit riser columns. This riser arrangement allows for more flexibility in individual unit riser sizing but has the same general characteristics as the “reverse return” system described above. It may also be a better fit for the particular structural and architectural requirements of the building. This piping system may also be used on 4-pipe systems.
Regardless of the system selected, optimum performance can only be achieved through adjustment to the recommended water flow at each individual unit (see Table 1 for individual unit water flow requirements).
RISER MATERIAL, SIZING, AND INSULATION — Some of the factors affecting riser application and sizing are noise, tube erosion and economics. Water source heat pumps maybe supplied with factory-installed risers; the riser material, diameter, length and insulation thickness must be determined for each unit based on its positioning within the building. Figure 8 displays riser tube diameter sizes as a function of flow (gpm), friction loss and water velocity. For maximum riser velocity on pressure drop per 100 ft, refer to ASHRAE (Amer­ican Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning
Engineers) Fundamentals Handbook for Riser Sizing. Gener­ally, riser copper type, size, length and insulation thickness are determined by the location of the water source heat pump unit in the building. Chilled water and hot water risers are available in Type-M, Type-L copper, varying diameters from
3
/4 to 21/2 in., and with either no insulation, 1/2 or 3/4 in. thick closed cell foam insulation. Condensate risers are available in Type-M copper, varying diameters from
3
/4 to 11/4 in., and with no insulation, 1/2 or 3/4 in. thick closed cell foam insulation. All factory-supplied risers and riser extensions are insulated for the full length of the riser, eliminating the need for field insulation. Insulation is not required on loop water piping except where the piping runs through unheated areas, outside the building or when the loop water temperature is below the minimum expected dew point of the pipe ambient conditions. Insulation is required if loop water temperature drops below the dew point (insulation is required for the ground loop applications in most climates).
Riser sizing is generally based on the water flow require­ments of each unit and the units on higher and lower floors that tie into the same riser column depending on the piping system chosen. Water piping is often designed at approximately 5 ft/s. Keeping this in mind, risers can be reduced in size as the water flow decreases from floor to floor. For low-rise buildings, riser sizes can be of a single diameter.
The reduced material handling on site will often offset the extra costs associated with the larger risers.
RISER EXPANSION — Generally, in medium to high-rise buildings, allowances must be made for pipe expansion. In ap­plications supplemented with factory (or field) supplied be­tween the floor riser extensions, assemble and install exten­sions before installing cabinet.
NOTE: Riser assemblies are designed to accommodate a maximum of 1 movement of 2
1
/8 in. expansion and contraction up to a total
1
/4 inches. If the total calculated rise expansion exceeds 21/4 in., expansion devices must be used (field provided).

floor dimensions including cutting off or extending risers is the sole responsibility of the installing contractor.
Additional expansion compensation must be made in the riser system in the field where movement is expected to exceed the factory allowances. Figure 9 displays the expansion charac­teristics of risers compared to water temperature differential. Assuming a minimum water temperature of 20 F and a maximum water temperature of 120 F, the temperature differ­ence of 100 F indicates 90 feet of riser will expand or contract 1 inch. To eliminate stress, a riser system must be anchored at least once to the building structure. Technical information on pipe expansion, contraction and anchoring can be found in the ASHRAE HVAC Systems and Equipment Handbook and vari­ous other technical publications. Riser expansion and the an­choring of each unit is the responsibility of the design engineer and installing contractor.
RISER CONNECTIONS — Install cabinet with risers as follows:
1. Move cabinet into position.
CAUTION
Keep risers off the floor while moving the cabinet. Failure to heed this warning could result in equipment damage.

2. Be sure that all the copper fittings are clean and free of dirt. Raise the cabinet upright and lower it into the riser from the floor below.
NOTE: The top of each riser is equipped with a 3 in. deep swaged connection. There is sufficient extension at the bottom to allow insertion of approximately 2 in. of the riser into the swaged top of the riser below.
3. Center risers in the pipe chase and shim the cabinet level. Plumb risers in two planes to assure proper unit operation and condensate drainage.
4. Attach the cabinet assembly to the floor and the building structure on at least two sides using sheet metal angles (field provided). A field-provided base vibration dampen­ing pad can be used to help eliminate transfer of any vi­bration to the structure. If vibration dampening pads are used some rough-in dimensional changes will need to be considered before installation due to style and thickness of the pads. Additional anchorage can be provided by in­stalling brackets at the top of the cabinet (field provided).
5. DO NOT attach drywall studs to the equipment cabinet.

6. When all units on a riser are anchored into place, com-
plete riser joints as follows: a. Verify that all riser joints are vertically aligned and
that risers penetrate at least 1 in. into the swaged joint of the riser below. DO NOT let riser joint bot­tom out.
b. Braze riser joints with a high-temperature alloy
using proper Phos-copper of Silfos. Soft solder 50­50, 60-40, 85-15, or 95-5 or low temperature alloys are not suitable riser weld materials.
c. Anchor built-in risers to the building structure with
at least one contact point. To accommodate vertical expansion and contraction DO NOT fasten risers rigidly within the unit.
d. Verify that unit shut-off valves are closed. DO
NOT OPEN VALVES until the system has been cleaned and flushed.
e. Flush system; refer to System Cleaning and Flush-
ing section for more information.
f. Install vents in piping loop as required to bleed the
system of air accumulated during installation.
7. Install supply duct extension(s) provided with the cabinet by folding the tabs down to secure extension(s) to cabinet.
COMMERCIAL WATER LOOP APPLICATION — Com­mercial systems typically include a number of units connected to a common piping system. Any unit plumbing maintenance work can introduce air into the piping system; therefore, air elimination equipment is a major portion of the mechanical room plumbing. In piping systems expected to utilize water temperatures below 50 F,
1
/2 in. closed-cell insulation is re­quired on all piping surfaces to eliminate condensation. Metal to plastic threaded joints should never be used due to their ten­dency to leak over time.
Teflon tape thread sealant is recommended for use in system piping to minimize internal fouling of the heat exchanger. Do not over tighten connections and route piping so as not to inter­fere with service or maintenance access. Hose kits include shut off valves, pressure/temperature (P/T) plugs for performance measurement, high pressure stainless steel braided hose, and hose adaptors.
Balancing valves and variable speed pumping systems my also be used.
The piping system should be flushed to remove dirt, pipe shavings, chips, and other foreign material prior to operation. See System Cleaning and Flushing section. The flow rate is usually set between 2.25 and 3.5 gpm per ton for most applications of water loop heat pumps. To ensure proper main­tenance and servicing, P/T ports are imperative for temperature and flow verification, as well as performance checks.
Water loop heat pump (cooling tower/boiler) systems typi­cally utilize a common loop, maintained between 60 to 90 F. The use of a closed circuit evaporate cooling tower with a sec­ondary heat exchanger between the tower and the water loop is recommended. If an open type cooling tower is used continu­ously, chemical treatment and filtering will be necessary.
GROUND-LOOP HEAT PUMP APPLICATION NOTE: In most commercial building applications using a
frame style or plate style heat-exchanger should be used to iso­late the water source heat pump units from the ground water loop increasing system performance, equipment longevity.
Pre-Installation
— Prior to installation, locate and mark all ex­isting underground utilities, piping, etc. Install loops for new construction before sidewalks, patios, driveways, and other construction has begun. During construction, accurately mark all ground loop piping on the plot plan as an aid in avoiding po­tential future damage to the installation.
Piping Installation
— All earth loop piping materials should be limited to polyethylene fusion only for in ground sections of the loop. Galvanized or steel fittings should not be used at any time due to their tendency to corrode. All plastic to metal threaded fittings should be avoided due to their potential to leak in earth coupled applications. A flanged fitting should be sub­stituted. P/T plugs should be used so that flow can be measured using the pressure drop of the unit heat exchanger.
Earth loop temperatures can range between 25 and 110 F. Flow rates between 2.25 and 3.0 gpm per ton of cooling capac­ity is recommended in these applications.
Test individual horizontal loop circuits before backfilling. Test vertical U-bends and pond loop assemblies prior to installation.
Pressures of at least 100 psi should be used when testing. Do not exceed the pipe pressure rating. Test entire system when all loops are assembled.
Flushing the Earth Loop
— Upon completion of system in­stallation and testing, flush the system to remove all foreign ob­jects and purge to remove all air.
Antifreeze
— In areas when minimum entering loop tempera­tures drop below 40 F or where piping will be routed through areas subject to freezing, antifreeze is required. Alcohols and glycols are commonly used as antifreeze; however your local Carrier distributor should be consulted for the antifreeze best suited to your area. Freeze protection should be maintained to 15 F below the lowest expected entering loop temperature. For example, if 30 F is the minimum expected entering loop tem­perature, the leaving loop temperature would be 25 to 22 F and freeze protection should be at 15 F. Calculation as follows:
30 F 15 F = 15 F.
All alcohols should be premixed and pumped from a reser­voir outside of the building when possible or introduced under the water level to prevent fumes. Calculate the total volume of fluid in the piping system. Then use the percentage by volume shown in Table 2 for the amount of antifreeze needed. Anti­freeze concentration should be checked from a well mixed sample using a hydrometer to measure specific gravity.

OPEN - LOOP GROUND WATER SYSTEMS — Shut off valves should be included for ease of servicing. Boiler drains or other valves should be “tee’d” into the lines to allow acid flush­ing of the heat exchanger. P/T plugs should be used so that pressure drop and temperature can be measured. Piping materi­als should be limited to copper or PVC SCH80.
NOTE: Due to the pressure and temperature extremes, PVC SCH40 is not recommended.
Water quantity should be plentiful and of good quality. Con­sult Table 3 for water quality guidelines and recommendations. Copper is recommended for closed loop systems and open loop ground water systems that are not high in mineral content or corrosiveness. In ground water situations where scaling could be heavy or where biological growth such as iron bacteria will be present, an open loop system is not recommended. Heat ex­changer coils may over time lose heat exchange capabilities due to build up of mineral deposits. Heat exchangers must only be serviced by a qualified technician, as acid cleaning agents and special pumping equipment are required.
11
Page 12
In areas with extremely hard water, the owner should be in­formed that the heat exchanger may require additional system maintenance and occasional acid flushing.
Water Supply and Quality
— Check water supply. Water sup­ply should be plentiful and of good quality. See Table 3 for wa­ter quality guidelines.
IMPORTANT: Failure to comply with the above required water quality and quantity limitations and the closed­system application design requirements may cause damage to the tube-in-tube heat exchanger. This damage is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.
Table 3 — Water Quality Guidelines
In all applications, the quality of the water circulated through the heat exchanger must fall within the ranges listed in the Water Quality Guidelines table. Consult a local water treat­ment firm, independent testing facility, or local water authority for specific recommendations to maintain water quality within the published limits.

††If the concentration of these corrosives exceeds the maximum
allowable level, then the potential for serious corrosion problems exists. Sulfides in the water quickly oxidize when exposed to air, requir­ing that no agitation occur as the sample is taken. Unless tested immediately at the site, the sample will require stabilization with a few drops of one Molar zinc acetate solution, allowing accurate sulfide determination up to 24 hours after sampling. A low pH and high alkalinity cause system problems, even when both values are within ranges shown. The term pH refers to the acidity, basic­ity, or neutrality of the water supply. Below 7.0, the water is con­sidered to be acidic. Above 7.0, water is considered to be basic. Neutral water contains a pH of 7.0. To convert ppm to grains per gallon, divide by 17.

Step 6 — Wire Field Power Supply Connections
WARNING
Electrical shock can cause personal injury or death. When installing or servicing system, always turn off main power to system. There may be more than one disconnect switch.
ELECTRICAL–LINE VOLTAGE — All field-installed wir­ing, including electrical ground, must comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) as well as all applicable local codes. Re­fer to Tables 4 and 5 for fuse sizes. Refer to Table 6 for blower speed wiring. See Fig. 10 for field connections or the electrical diagram located on the back of the electrical compartment front panel. All electrical connections must be made by the installing (or electrical) contractor. All final electrical connections must be made with a length of flexible conduit to minimize vibration and sound transmission to the building.
General Line Voltage Wiring power is the same voltage and phase shown on the unit
— Be sure the available
serial plate. Line and low voltage wiring must be done in accordance with local codes or the NEC, whichever is appli­cable.
POWER CONNECTION Units Equipped with Disconnect
— Connect incoming line voltage to the disconnect switch and ground wire to the ground lug provided inside the electrical compartment.
Units without Disconnect
— Line voltage connection is made by connecting the incoming line voltage wires to the line side(s) of the contactor.
208/230-VAC OPERATION — All commercial 208/230-v units are factory wired for 208-v single-phase operation. For 230-v single-phase operation the primary voltage to the trans­former must be changed. Remove the red lead from the com­pressor contactor capping it with a wire nut and connecting the orange 230-vac lead wire from the transformer to the compres­sor contactor.
NOTE: Failure to change the primary voltage lead when using 240-vac line voltage may result in electrical component dam­age and intermittent system failure.

Step 8 — Clean and Flush System — Cleaning
and flushing the unit is the most important step to ensure proper start-up and continued efficient operation of the system. Follow the instructions below to properly clean and flush the system.
1. Verify that electrical power to the unit is off.
2. Verify that supply and return riser service valves are closed at each unit.
3. Fill the system with water, leaving the air vents open. Bleed all air from the system but do not allow the system to overflow. Check the system for leaks and make any re­quired repairs.
4. Adjust the water and air level in the expansion tank.
5. With strainers in place, start the pumps. Systematically check each vent to ensure that all of the air is bled from the system.
6. Verify that make-up water is available and adjusted to properly replace any space remaining when all air is purged. Check the system for leaks and make any addi­tional repairs if needed.
7. Set the boiler to raise the loop temperature to approxi­mately 85 F. Open the drain at the lowest point in the system. Verify that make-up water replacement rate
equals rate of bleed. Continue to bleed the system until the water appears clean or for at least three hours which­ever is longer.
8. Completely drain the system. Flush risers as follows:
1. Close shut-off valves at each unit on the riser except the
shut-off valve on the top floor.
2. Flush solution through supply riser.
NOTE: The solution passes through the top floor connec­tion down the return riser.
3. When the building has more than 10 floors, connect the
supply and return run outs on the top two floors to divide the water flow and reduce pressure drop at the pump.
4. Repeat flushing procedure for each set of risers in the
building.
5. Refill the system and add in a proportion of trisodium
phosphate approximately one pound per 150 gallons of water. Reset the boiler to raise the loop temperature to about 100 F.
6. Circulate the solution for between 8 and 24 hours. At the
end of this period, shut off the circulating pump and drain the solution. Repeat system cleaning if needed.
7. Open the supply and return riser service valves at each
unit. Refill the system and bleed off all air.
8. Test the system pH with litmus paper. The system water
should have a pH of 6 to 8.5. Add chemicals as appropri­ate to maintain pH levels.
9. When the cleaning process is complete, remove the short-
circuited hoses. Reconnect the hoses to the proper supply, and return the connections to each of the units. Refill the system and bleed off all air.
NOTE: DO NOT use “Stop Leak” or similar chemical agent in this system. Addition of chemicals of this type to the loop water will foul the heat exchanger and inhibit unit operation.
Step 9 — Install Hose Kit
1. Refer to Fig. 11 for an illustration of a typical supply/
return hose kit assembly.
2. Pipe joint compound or Teflon tape is not necessary when
using factory-supplied hose kits. NOTE: When anti-freeze is used, ensure that it is compat-
ible with Teflon tape and pipe joint compound that may have been applied to other pipe fittings in the system.
3. Attach the flex hoses. Unpack and examine hose kit. Re-
move all shipping and/or packing material such as rubber bands, plastic caps, and styrofoam. Hose kit should con­tain 2 hoses, one balancing valve with shutoff, one shut­off, and 2 hose adaptors.
4. Locate the valves inside the unit cabinet marked WATER
IN and WATER OUT. Attach the hoses to the water valve. Always use a back-up wrench when tightening the hose to the valve.
5. If the valves are removed to attach the hoses, be sure the
O-ring is in the valve before attaching to the union in the cabinet.
NOTE: The valve union is to be hand tight plus an addi-
1
tional
/4 of a turn; always use back-up wrench on the fit-
tings being tightened.
6. Attach flex hoses. Let the universal ends of the hoses
hang inside the cabinet. See Table 8 for bend allowances. NOTE: Be sure the valve handles and P/T ports are in a
position that enables them to be opened and closed and used for system readings. Check the swivel ends of the hoses. Gaskets must be in the hose for proper seal.

NOTE: Do not allow hoses to rest against sharp edges or structural building components. Compressor vibration may cause hose failure and vibration transmission through the hoses to the structure, caus­ing noise complaints.
7. Slide the chassis part way into the cabinet. Match the WATER IN hose to the WATER IN tube on the chassis and the WATER OUT hose to the WATER OUT tube. Tighten the swivel connection keeping the copper tube parallel to the sides of the chassis, and then tighten the hose to the copper making sure the hose hangs straight without twisting or turning.
NOTE: The copper union and the hose union is to be hand tight plus an additional back-up wrench on the fittings being tightened.

4. Unit fan: Manually rotate fan to verify free rotation and ensure that blower wheel is secured to the motor shaft. Be sure to remove any shipping supports if needed. DO NOT oil motors upon start-up. Fan motors are pre-oiled at the factory. Check unit fan speed selection and compare to design requirements.
5. Condensate line: Verify that condensate line is open and properly pitched toward drain.
6. Water flow balancing: Record inlet and outlet water tem­peratures for each heat pump upon start-up. This check can eliminate nuisance trip outs and high velocity water flow that could erode heat exchangers.
7. Unit controls: Verify that the microprocessor DIP (dual in-line package) switches are set for proper operation and system configuration.
System Checkout
1. System water temperature: Check water temperature for proper range and also verify heating and cooling set points for proper operation.
2. System pH: Check and adjust water pH if necessary to maintain a level between 6 and 8.5. Proper pH promotes longevity of hoses and fittings.
3. System flushing: Verify that all hoses are connected end to end when flushing to ensure that debris bypasses the unit heat exchanger, water valves and other components. Water used in the system must be potable quality initially and clean of dirt, piping slag, and strong chemical clean­ing agents. Verify that all air is purged from the system. Air in the system can cause poor operation or system corrosion.
4. Cooling tower/boiler: Check equipment for proper set points and operation.
5. Standby pumps: Verify that the standby pump is properly installed and in operating condition.
6. System controls: Verify that system controls function and operate in the proper sequence.
7. Low water temperature cutout: Verify that low water temperature cutout controls are provided for the outdoor portion of the loop. Otherwise, operating problems may occur.
8. System control center: Verify that the control center and alarm panel have appropriate set points and are operating as designed.
FIELD SELECTABLE INPUTS
Jumpers and DIP switches on the control board are used to customize unit operation and can be configured in the field. See Tables 10 and 11 for heat pump and BacNet control board DIP switch settings.

sequence of the unit, therefore creating a more timely trouble­shooting technique. All time delays are shorted by 10 times with the exception of the high-pressure lockout which is instantaneous regardless of which mode the switch is posi­tioned. DIP switch 1 must be placed into the Normal mode to resume proper operation of the unit.
DIP SWITCH 2 (FP 1 at 15 F = Off/FP 1 at 32 F = On) Water Side Freeze Protection Setting
to determine the loop freeze protection setting. Depending on the brine concentration of the liquid source, the temperature can be set at 15 F or 32 F. The switch MUST be set to the “On” position if pure water is used as the source brine. This is nor­mally the case in open loop systems. Set the DIP switch to the “Off” position for closed loop systems that contain a brine con­centration that allows liquid temperatures to fall to, or below, 15 F.

mine the reversing valve (RV) position in the Cooling mode (deenergized/energized). This function is used only when a 24­vac thermostat is used and is determined by the reversing valve output of the thermostat in the Cooling mode. If the thermostat deenergizes the reversing valve in the Cooling mode then set the DIP switch in the “Off” position. If the thermostat ener­gizes the reversing valve in the Cooling mode set the DIP switch in the “On” position.

Standard 24-vac Sequence of Operation
RANDOM START DELAY — When the unit is first pow­ered “On” the control microprocessor will generate a random number to determine the start delay of the compressor opera­tion (3 to 5 minutes). This delay is used to prevent multiple units from cycling “On” at the same time. The purpose is to prevent a large power load on the building electrical system af­ter a power outage. After the number, or delay time, is generat­ed the microprocessor will use this time to determine the mini­mum amount of time that must be delayed before the compres­sor is cycled “On” after a demand is received from the thermostat.
ANTI SHORT CYCLING DELAY — After the random start delay is generated the microprocessor will use this time to determine the minimum amount of time that must be delayed before the compressor is cycled “On” after a demand is received from the thermostat. This allows the refrigerant sys­tem to equalize in pressure and prevents short-cycling of the compressor.
MINIMUM COMPRESSOR RUNTIME — The minimum compressor runtime of each cycle, heating or cooling, is 60 seconds. Once the compressor is energized it will not de­energize, even if the thermostat input is removed, until the min­imum runtime is satisfied.
COOLING FIRST STAGE (Y1, O) — When the micropro­cessor receives (Y1, O) at the 24-vac thermostat input connec­tion the unit will proceed with the cooling first stage sequence. The microprocessor must receive these signals for 2 continu­ous seconds before it recognizes the inputs as valid. Once the input signals are determined to be valid the reversing valve will energize/deenergize after 5 seconds.
The microprocessor will then verify that the anti-short cy­cling delay has been satisfied. Once the anti short cycling delay has been satisfied the compressor and will cycle “On.” The blower will cycle “On” in low speed 15 seconds after the com­pressor is cycled “On.”
COOLING SECOND STAGE (Y1, Y2, O) — When the mi­croprocessor receives (Y1, Y2, O) at the 24-vac thermostat in­put connection the unit will proceed with the cooling second stage sequence. The microprocessor must receive these signals for 2 continuous seconds before it recognizes the inputs as val­id. Once the input signals are determined to be valid the revers­ing valve will energize/deenergize after 5 seconds. The micro­processor will then verify that the anti short cycling delay has been satisfied. Once the anti short cycling delay has been satis­fied the compressor and will cycle “On.” The blower will cycle “On” in high speed 15 seconds after the compressor is cycled “On.”
HEATING FIRST STAGE (Y1) — When the microproces­sor receives (Y1) at the 24-vac thermostat input connection the unit will proceed with the cooling first stage sequence. The mi­croprocessor must receive these signals for 2 continuous sec­onds before it recognizes the inputs as valid. Once the input signals are determined to be valid the reversing valve will energize/deenergize after 5 seconds. The microprocessor will then verify that the anti short cycling delay has been satisfied. Once the anti short cycling delay has been satisfied the com­pressor and will cycle “On.” The blower will cycle “On” in low speed 15 seconds after the compressor is cycled “On.”
HEATING SECOND STAGE (Y1, Y2) — When the micro­processor receives (Y1, Y2) at the 24-vac thermostat input connection the unit will proceed with the heating second stage sequence. The microprocessor must receive these signals for 2 continuous seconds before it recognizes the inputs as valid. Once the input signals are determined to be valid the reversing valve will energize/deenergize after 5 seconds.
The microprocessor will then verify that the anti short cy­cling delay has been satisfied. Once the anti short cycling delay has been satisfied the compressor and will cycle “On.” The blower will cycle “On” in high speed 15 seconds after the com­pressor is cycled “On.”
FAN ONLY MODE (G) — The fan only mode can be used only with a 24-vac thermostat and will energize the low speed blower when a (G) input has been received at the 24-vac ther­mostat input connection. When the input is removed the blow­er will deenergize immediately.
START-UP
1. Turn on the line power to all heat pumps.
2. Turn the thermostat fan position to “ON.” Blower should start.
3. Balance airflow at registers.
4. Adjust all valves to their full open positions. Room temperature should be within the minimum-maximum ranges of Table 9. During start-up checks, loop water temperature entering the heat pump should be between 60 and 95 F.
5. Two factors determine the operating limits of the 50VS heat pumps: supply-water temperature and the return-air temperature. When any one of these factors is at a mini­mum or maximum level, the other factor must be at a nor­mal level to ensure proper unit operation.
a. Adjust the unit thermostat to the warmest setting.
Place the thermostat mode switch in the “COOL” position. Slowly reduce thermostat setting until the compressor activates.
b. Check for cool air delivery at the unit grille within
a few minutes after the unit has begun to operate. NOTE: Units have a 3 to 5 minute time delay in
the control circuit that can be eliminated on the microprocessor control board. See test mode described in the DIP Switch Settings and Opera­tion section.
c. Check the elevation and cleanliness of the conden-
sate lines. Dripping may be a sign of a blocked line. Check that the condensate trap is filled to pro­vide a water seal.
d. Refer to Table 12. Check the temperature of both
entering and leaving water. If temperature is within range, proceed with the test. If temperature is outside of the operating range, see Troubleshooting section.
e. Check air temperature drop across the air coil
when compressor is operating. Air temperature drop should be between 15 and 25 F.
19
Page 20
f. Turn thermostat to “OFF” position. A hissing noise
indicates proper functioning of the reversing valve.
g. Allow 5 minutes between tests for pressure to
equalize before beginning heating test.
h. Adjust the thermostat to the lowest setting. Place
the thermostat mode switch in the “HEAT” position.
i. Slowly raise the thermostat to a higher temperature
until the compressor activates.
j. Check for warm air delivery within a few minutes
after the unit has begun to operate.
k. Refer to Table 9. Check the temperature of both
entering and leaving water. If temperature is within range, proceed with the test. If temperature is out­side of the operating range, check refrigerant pressures.
l. Check air temperature rise across the air coil when
compressor is operating. Air temperature rise should be between 20 and 30 F.
m. Check for vibration, noise, and water leaks.
6. If unit fails to operate, perform troubleshooting analysis (see troubleshooting section). If the check described fails to reveal the problem and the unit still does not operate, contact a trained service technician to ensure proper diag­nosis and repair of the equipment.
7. When testing is complete, set system to maintain desired comfort level.
NOTE: If performance during any mode appears abnormal refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual. To obtain maximum performance, the air coil should be cleaned before start-up. Use a coil cleaner for use on indoor evaporator refrig­eration equipment.

Operating Limits
ENVIRONMENT — Units are designed for indoor installa­tion only. Never install units in areas subject to freezing or where humidity levels could cause cabinet condensation (such as unconditioned spaces subject to 100% outside air).
POWER SUPPLY — A voltage variation of 10% of name­plate utilization voltage is acceptable.
STARTING CONDITIONS — Starting conditions vary de­pending upon model number and are based upon the following:
• Conditions in Table 9 are not normal or continuous operat­ing conditions. Minimum/maximum limits are start-up con­ditions to bring the building space up to occupancy temperatures. Units are not designed to operate under these conditions on a regular basis.
• Voltage utilization range complies with ARI Standard 110.
• Determination of operating limits is dependent primarily upon three factors:
a. Ambient temperature b. Return air temperature c. Water temperature
• When any one of these factors is at minimum or maximum levels, the other two factors should be at normal levels to ensure proper unit operation.
Extreme variations in temperature and humidity and/or cor­rosive water or air will adversely affect unit performance, reli­ability, and service life.
Lockout Mode — If the microprocessor board is flashing
a system warning and the unit is locked out and not running, the lockout can be cleared from the microprocessor by a mo­mentary shutdown of incoming line voltage (208-vac or 230-vac). A lockout that still occurs after line voltage shut­down means that the fault still exists and needs to be repaired.
HIGH-PRESSURE LOCKOUT (HP) — The high-pressure lockout will occur if the discharge pressure of the compressor exceeds 600 psi. The lockout is immediate and has no delay from the time the high-pressure switch opens to the lockout. Upon lockout the compressor will be deenergized immediately. The blower will be deenergized 15 seconds after the compres­sor is deenergized.
LOW-PRESSURE LOCKOUT (LP) — The low-pressure lockout will occur if the suction pressure falls below 40 psi for 30 continuous seconds. The compressor will then be de­energized and the blower will deenergize 15 seconds after the compressor is deenergized.
FREEZE PROTECTION 1 LOCKOUT — The freeze pro­tection 1 lockout will occur if the liquid line temperature falls below the set point (15 F or 30 F) for 30 continuous seconds. See DIP switch 2 description in the DIP Switch Settings and Operation section. The compressor will then be deenergized and the blower will deenergize 15 seconds after the compressor is deenergized.
FREEZE PROTECTION 2 LOCKOUT — The freeze pro­tection 1 lockout will occur if the air coil temperature falls be­low the set point 32 F for 30 continuous seconds. See DIP switch 2. The compressor will then be deenergized and the blower will deenergize 15 seconds after the compressor is deenergized.
CONDENSATE OVERFLOW 1 LOCKOUT (CO1) — The unit contains one condensate overflow sensor located in the chassis drain pan below the air coil. A condensate lockout will occur if the sensor senses condensate for 30 continuous seconds. The compressor will then be deenergized and the blower will deenergize 15 seconds after the compressor is deenergized.
OVER/UNDER VOLTAGE PROTECTION — If the unit control voltage is less than 18-vac or greater than 30-vac the unit will shut down all inputs immediately. Once the voltage has reached acceptable levels the unit microprocessor will power “On” automatically and resume previous operation.
LEAVING WATER TEMPERATURE SENSOR FAIL­URE (LWT) — If the leaving water temperature thermistor fails it will not affect the operation of the unit. This sensor is for monitoring purposes only.
DISCHARGE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR FAILURE (DAT) — If the discharge temperature thermistor fails it will not affect the operation of the unit. This sensor is for monitor­ing purposes only.
FREEZE PROTECTION 1 TEMPERATURE SENSOR FAILURE (FP1) — If the freeze protection 1 thermistor fails for 30 continuous seconds an FP1 lockout will occur. The compressor will then be deenergized and the blower will deen­ergize 15 seconds after the compressor is deenergized. The sen­sor must be replaced if this lockout occurs.
FREEZE PROTECTION 2 TEMPERATURE SENSOR FAILURE (FP2) — If the freeze protection 2 thermistor fails for 30 continuous seconds an FP2 lockout will occur. The compressor will then be deenergized and the blower will deenergize 15 seconds after the compressor is deenergized. The sensor must be replaced if this lockout occurs.

SERVICE
WARNING
Electrical shock can cause personal injury or death. When installing or servicing system, always turn off main power to system. There may be more than one disconnect switch.
WARNING
The installation and servicing of air-conditioning equip­ment can be hazardous due to system pressure and electri­cal components. Only trained and qualified service personnel should install, repair, or service air-conditioning equipment.
Water Coil Maintenance
CLOSED LOOP SYSTEM (All Other Water Loop Applica­tions) — Generally water coil maintenance is not needed for closed loop systems. However, if the piping is known to have high dirt or debris content, it is best to establish a periodic maintenance schedule with the owner so the water coil can be checked regularly. Dirty installations are typically the result of deterioration of iron or galvanized piping or components in the system. Open cooling towers requiring heavy chemical treat­ment and mineral build-up through water use can also contrib­ute to higher maintenance. Should periodic coil cleaning be necessary, use standard coil cleaning procedures, which are compatible with both the heat exchanger material and copper water lines. Generally, the more water flowing through the unit, the less chance for scaling. However, flow rates over 3 gpm per ton can produce water (or debris) velocities that can erode the heat exchanger wall and ultimately produce leaks.
OPEN LOOP SYSTEM (Direct Ground Water) — If the system is installed in an area with a known high mineral con­tent (125 ppm or greater) in the water, it is best to establish a periodic maintenance schedule with the owner so the coil can be checked regularly. Should periodic coil cleaning be neces­sary, use standard coil cleaning procedures, which are compati­ble with the heat exchanger material and copper water lines. Generally, the more water flowing through the unit, the less chance for scaling. Therefore, 1.5 gpm per ton is recommended as a minimum flow. Minimum flow rate for entering water temperatures below 50 F is 2.0 gpm per ton.
Filters — A clean filter must be used to obtain maximum
performance. Filters should be inspected every month under normal operating conditions. It is especially important to pro­vide consistent washing of these filters (in the opposite direc­tion of the normal airflow) once per month. Never operate a unit without a filter, severe system damage can occur.
Condensate Drain — In areas where airborne bacteria
may produce an algae build-up in the drain pan, it may be nec­essary to remove and treat the drain pan chemically with an al­gaecide approximately every three months to minimize the problem. The condensate pan may also need to be cleaned peri­odically to ensure indoor air quality. The condensate drain can pick up lint and dirt, especially with dirty filters. Inspect the drain twice a year to avoid the possibility of plugging.
Compressor — Conduct annual amperage checks to in-
sure that amp draw is no more than 10% greater than indicated on the serial data plate.
Fan Motors — All units have lubricated fan motors. Peri-
odic maintenance oiling is not recommended, as it will result in dirt accumulating in the excess oil and cause eventual motor failure. Conduct annual dry operation check and amperage
check to ensure amp draw is no more than 10% greater than in­dicated on serial data plate.
Evaporator Coil — The air coil must be cleaned to ob-
tain maximum performance. Check once a year under normal operating conditions and, if dirty, brush or vacuum clean. Care must be taken not to damage the aluminum fins while cleaning.
CAUTION
Use caution when cleaning the coil fins as the fin edges are extremely sharp. Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury.
Cabinet — The cabinet can be cleaned using a mild
detergent. Do not allow water to stay in contact with the cabi­net for long periods of time to prevent corrosion of the cabinet sheet metal.
Refrigerant System — To maintain sealed circuit integ-
rity, do not install service gages unless unit operation appears abnormal. Verify that air and water flow rates are at proper lev­els before servicing the refrigerant circuit.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Lockout Modes —
ing a system warning and the unit is locked out and not run­ning, the lockout can be cleared from the microprocessor by a momentary shutdown of incoming line voltage (208-vac or 230-vac). A lockout that still occurs after line voltage shudown means that the fault still exists and needs to be repaired.
HIGH-PRESSURE LOCKOUT (HP) — The high-pressure lockout will occur if the discharge pressure of the compressor exceeds 600 psi. The lockout is immediate and has no delay from the time the high-pressure switch opens to the lockout. Upon lockout the compressor will be deenergized immediately. The blower will be deenergized 15 seconds after the compres­sor is deenergized.
LOW-PRESSURE LOCKOUT (LP) — The low-pressure lockout will occur if the suction pressure falls below 40 psi for 30 continuous seconds. The compressor will then be deener­gized and the blower will deenergize 15 seconds after the com­pressor is deenergized.
FREEZE PROTECTION 1 LOCKOUT — The freeze pro­tection 1 lockout will occur if the liquid line temperature falls below the set point (15 F or 30 F) for 30 continuous seconds. See DIP switch 2 description in the DIP Switch Settings and Operation section. The compressor will then be deenergized and the blower will deenergize 15 seconds after the compressor is deenergized.
FREEZE PROTECTION 2 LOCKOUT — The freeze pro­tection 2 lockout will occur if the air coil temperature falls be­low the set point (32 F) for 30 continuous seconds. See DIP switch 2 description in the DIP Switch Settings and Operation section. The compressor will then be deenergized and the blower will deenergize 15 seconds after the compressor is deenergized.
