INTRODUCTION
Models 542D and 542E Packaged Heat Pumps are fully self­contained combinatipn heating/cooling units designed for outdoor installation. Model 542E may be installed either on a rooftop or ground-level slab. See Figure 1. Model 542D is used with an accessory roof-mounting curb (P/N 304851-
302) and incorporates a down-discharge/return-air plenum as an integral part of the unit. See Figure 2.
These units are factory-charged with R-22 refrigerant. Installation is simple: connect condensate drain, air ducts,
high- and low-voltage.wiring, and install a field-supplied air filter (except for model 542D which has factory-supplied air filters).
All units can be connected into existing duct systems that
are properly sized and designed to handle an airflow of 350 to 450 ffimin per each 12,000 Btuh of rated unit capacity. See
Table I for indoor airflow requirements.
Accessory UL-listed, field-installed, supplemental electric heat packages are available in a variety of KW and voltage options. These electric resistance heaters mount inside the unit blower compartment.
A full line of rooftop system accessories is available for field installation. These accessories include plenums with facto
ry-supplied air filters (plenum not required with Model 542D), roof-mounting curbs, horizontal and downflow economizers, barometric relief dampers, concentric diffuser boxes, and flexible duct packages. Filter racks with air filters are available for rooftop or ground-level installation.
NOTE: When installing any accessory item, see the Installa tion Instructions packaged with the accessory.
IMPORTANT-READ BEFORE INSTALLING
1. This installation must conform with all applicable local and national codes.
2. The power supply (volts, hertz, and phase) must corres pond to that specified on unit rating plate.
3. The electrical supply provided by your utility must be sufficient to handle the load imposed by this unit.
4. Refer to the 542D or 542E dimensional drawing for loca tions of electrical inlets, condensate drain, duct connec tions, and required clearances before setting unit in
place.
5. Styrofoam shipping blocks located between compressor

Figure 5—542E Suggested Rigging
USE SPREADER BARS TO PROTECT UNIT
A79148
I. MOVING AND SETTING UNIT IN PLACE
CAUTION: Use spreader bars when rigging the unit to be
lifted to protect the top and sides. Model 542E must be
rigged for lifting as shown in Figure 5. Model 542D must be rigged for lifting as shown in Figure 6. Use extreme caution to prevent damage when moving the unit. It must remain in an upright position during all rigging and moving opera tions. The unit must be level for proper condensate drainage; therefore, the ground-level pad or accessory roof mounting curb must be level before setting the unit in place. When a field-fabricated support is used instead of the ac cessory curb, ensure that the support is level and properly supports the unit and plenum.
When selecting an installation site, locate the unit on the side opposite the prevailing wind to assure proper operation of the defrost cycle and to avoid snow drifts that could block the outdoor coil. Be sure that the unit is installed at least 6
inches above the highest probable snow level to prevent block age of the outdoor coil and to assure proper drainage of de frosted ice.
A. Rooftop Installation
CAUTION: When installing the unit on a rooftop, be sure that the roof will support the additional weight. Refer to the
Product Data Sheet (PDS) for Models 542D and 542E to obtain total weight and corner weight information.
When installing a Model 542D Downflow Unit or a Model 542E End-discharge Unit with an accessory downflow plenum, the accessory roof-mounting curb must be installed on, and flashed into, the roof before unit installation. The instructions for installing the curb are packaged with the curb.
When installing a Model 542E without downflow plenum, place the unit on a level base that provides proper support. On flat roofs, be sure that the unit is located at least 4 inches
above the highest expected water level on the roof to prevent flooding. Consult local codes for additional installation requirements.
B. Ground-Level Installation
Place the unit on a solid, level concrete pad that is a minimum of 4 inches thick and that extends approximately 2 inches beyond the casing on all four sides of the unit. Do not secure the unit to the pad except when required by local codes.
C. Clearances
The required minimum operating and service clearances are shown in Figures 3 and 4. (Refer to the 542D clearances when installing Model 542E with an accessory downflow plenum.)
Figure 6—542D060 Suggested Rigging
CAUTION: Do not restrict outdoor airflow. An air restric
tion at either the outdoor-air inlet (the entire surface of the outdoor coil) or the fan discharge can be detrimental to com pressor life.
The outdoor fan discharges through the top of the unit. Ensure that the fan discharge does not recirculate to the outdoor coil. Do not locate the unit in either a corner or under a complete overhead obstruction. The minimum clearance under a partial overhang (such as a normal house roof overhang) is 48 inches.
Do not locate the unit where water, ice, or snow from an overhang or roof will damage or flood the unit by falling on the top. Do not locate the unit where grass, shrubs, or other plants will interfere with the airflow either into or out of the unit.
II. CONDENSATE AND DEFROST DISPOSAL NOTE: Ensure that defrost and condensate water disposal
methods comply with local codes, restrictions, and practices. Models 542D and 542E dispose of condensate water through
a 3/4-inch MPT plastic drain fitting. To prevent damage dur ing the shipping and moving of the unit, this fitting and a plastic drain pipe are shipped inside the unit compressor compartment (secured with tape). Locate this fitting and 'nsert the nonthreaded end into the plastic drain pipe. See
Figure 8. Insert the plastic pipe over the drain on the drain pan. The pipe and fitting must lay flat against the base for proper drainage. The residual curvature in the pipe must be
in a horizontal plane.
Install a 3-inch trap at the drain fitting to ensure proper drainage. See Figure 7. Make sxire that the outlet of the trap is at least 2 inches lower than the unit drain pan connection to prevent the pan from overflowing. Prime the trap with water.

During the heating defrost cycle, defrost water from the melting ice on the outdoor coil flows through the holes in the heat pump base directly below the outdoor coil. When using a field-supplied drain pan to catch the defrost water, be sure that this pan is at least 2 inches high and extends at least 2 inches beyond the width and length of the unit.
If the installation requires draining the condensate and/or defrost water away from the unit, connect a drain tube(s), using a minimum of 7/8-inch OD copper tubing, 3/4-inch galvanized pipe, or 7/8-inch plastic pipe. Do not undersize the tuhe(s). Pitch the drain tube(s) downward at a slope of at least 1 inch in every 10 feet of horizontal run. Be sure to check the drain tube(s) for leaks.
Condensate and defrost water can be drained directly onto
the roof in rooftop installations (where permitted) or onto a gravel apron in ground-level installations. When using a gravel apron, make sure it slopes away from the unit.
III. DUCT CONNECTIONS
Model 542E has duct flanges on the supply- and return-air openings on the side of the unit. See Figure 3 for connection sizes and locations.
Model 542D has duct flanges on the supply- and return-air openings on the bottom of the unit. See Figure 4 for connec tion sizes and locations.
WARNING: The design and installation of the duct system must be in. accordance with the standards of the National Fire Protection Association for installation of nonresidence­type air conditioning and ventilating systems, NFPA No. 90; or residence-type, NFPA No. 90B; and/or local codes and ordinances.
Adhere to the following criteria when selecting, sizing, and installing the duct system:
1. Select and size ductwork, supply-air registeis, and return-air grilles according to ASHRAE recommenda tions and as presented in BDP training materials.
QUICK-START PTC THERMISTOR
■HIGH­VOLTAGE PIGTAIL LEADS
A79243
CAUTION: When the duct system fastening holes are being
drilled into the side of Model 542E instead of the unit duct flanges, use extreme care to avoid puncturing the coil or coil tubes.
2. Use a flexible transition between rigid ductwork and unit to prevent transmission of vibration. The transi tion may be screwed or bolted to duct flanges. Use suita ble gaskets to ensure a weather and airtight seal.
NOTE: When using a supplemental electric heater, main tain a minimum clearance of one inch to combustible materials for the first 36 inches of duct and use fireproof material for the transition between the ductwork and unit supply-air duct flange. When using flexible duct (which is not heat resistant), use a 36-inch long sheet metal duct be tween the supply outlet and the flexible duct. Observe the
warning on the unit rating plate.
3. Install an external, field-supplied air filter(s) in the return-air ductwork where it is easily accessible for ser vice. Recommended filter sizes are shown in Table I. (Model 542D has factory-supplied air filters.)
4. Size all ductwork for required indoor airflow of heat pump being installed. This airflow will be adequate for safe electric heater operation (except when using 20­KW heater with 030-size unit airflow must be at least 1000 fU/min). Avoid abrupt duct size increases or decreases.
5. Adequately insulate and weatherproof all ductwork
located outdoors. Insulate ducts passing thru an uncon
ditioned space, and use a vapor barrier in accordance
with the latest issue of SMACNA and NESCA minimum installation standards for heating and air conditioning systems. Secure all ducts to the building structure.
6. Flash, weatherproof, and vibration-isolate all openings
in building structure in accordance with local codes and good building practices.

IV. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WARNING: The unit cabinet must have an uninterruptedj
unbroken, electrical ground to minimize the possibility of personal injury if an electrical fault should occur. This ground may consist of electrical wire connected to the unit ground lug in the control compartment, or conduit approved for electrical ground when installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local electrical codes. A failure to follow this warning could result in the installer being lia ble for the personal injury of others.
CAUTION: A failure to follow these precautions could result in damage to the unit being installed;
1. Make all electrical connections in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local electrical codes governing such wiring.
2. Use only copper conductor for connections between the field-supplied electrical disconnect switch and the unit. DO NOT USE ALUMINUM WIRE.
3. Ensure that high-voltage power to the unit is within the operating voltage range indicated on the unit rating
plate. On 3-phase units, ensure that phases are balanced within 2%. Consult the local power company for correc tion of improper voltage and/or phase balance.
4. Insulate low-voltage wires for the highest voltage con tained within the conduit when low-voltage control wires are run in the same conduit as high-voltage wires.
5. Do not damage internal components when drilling thru any panel to mount electrical hardware, conduit, etc.
6. Make sure that the service conductors used between the electrical service panel and the field-supplied electrical disconnect switch do not have a current capacity less
than the copper wire specified, and do not create a total voltage drop in excess of 2% of the rated voltage of the unit.
NOTE: When using aluminum conductor from the electrical
service panel (power supply) to the disconnect switch (where local codes permit the use of aluminum wire), make the con nections in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Prepare all aluminum wire immediately before installation by “brush-scratching” the wire, then coating the wire with a corrosion inhibitor (such as Pentrox A). Be sure that the entire connection is completely covered to prevent an electrochemical reaction that will cause the connection to fail very quickly. Do not reduce the effective size of the wire by cutting off strands to fit the wire into a connector. Always use properly sized connectors.
A. High-Voltage Connections
The unit must have a separate electrical service with a field­supplied, waterproof fused disconnect switch at, or within sight of, the unit. Refer to the imit rating plate for max imum fuse size and minimum circuit amps (ampacity) for
wire sizing. Tables II and III show recommended wire sizes and lengths based on rating plate data.
The field-supplied disconnect switch box may be mounted on the unit over the high-voltage inlet hole in the control cor ner panel. See Figure 3 or 4. Be sure that the disconnect box does not interfere with the removal of the blower access
panel.
Proceed as follows to complete the high-voltage connections to the unit:
1. Connect ground lead to chassis-ground connection when using a separate ground wire.
2. Connect high-voltage power leads to unit high-voltage pigtail leads. Single-phase units have two black pigtail leads. Three-phase units have two black and one red pig tail lead. See Figure 8, Figure 9, and unit wiring label. Use a suitable wire splice connector or wirenut to make each high-voltage connection. Tape each completed con nection.
B. Special Procedures for 208-V Operation WARNING: Make sure that the power supply to the unit is
switched OFF before making any wiring changes.
When operating sizes 018 thru 036 single-phase units or sizes 036 thru 060 208/230-volt three-phase units at 208 volts, disconnect the red transformer-primary lead from the contactor. See the unit wiring label and Figure 8. Remove the tape and cover from the terminal on the end of the blue transformer-primary lead. Save the cover. Connect the blue lead to the contactor terminal from which the red lead was disconnected.
Using the cover removed from the blue lead, insulate the loose terminal on the red lead. Wrap the cover with electri cal tape so that the metal terminal can not be seen.
NOTE: If a blower motor speed is changed, insulate all
unused motor leads following the same procedures described for the transformer leads.
C. Low-Voltage Connections
The recommended heat pump room thermostats for heat pump operation with or without supplemental electric heaters are P/N 34427DP115 (subbase included) for auto matic system changeover and P/N 34427DP118 (subbase included) for manual system changeover. These thermostats have an emergency heat (EM. HT.) switch and red indicator light.
Heat pump room thermostat P/N 34427DP87 (subbase included) can be used for heat pump operation without sup plemental electric heaters. This thermostat provides for manual system changeover and does not have an emergency heat switch.
NOTE: When a supplemental electric heat package is being used, see the Installation Instructions packaged with the heater to complete system low-voltage wiring connections.
Locate the room thermostat on an inside wall in the space to be conditioned where it will not be subjected to either a cool ing or heating source, or direct exposure to sunlight. Mount the thermostat 4 to 5 feet above the floor.
Use No. 18 AWG color-coded, insulated (35°C minimum) wires to make the low-voltage connections between the ther mostat and the unit. If the thermostat is located more than
100 feet from the unit (as measured along the low-voltage wires), use No. 16 AWG color-coded, insulated (35°C minimum) wires.
A grommeted, low-voltage inlet hole is located in the panel adjacent to the control access panel. See Figure 3 or 4. Run the low-voltage leads from the thermostat, thru the inlet hole, and to the low-voltage terminal board. See Figure 8. Connect the low-voltage thermostat leads to the terminal

NOTE: When using thermostat P/N 34427DP115 or
34427DP118, run a thermostat lead from each of the 10 thermostat terminals. Insulate the end of the leads that do
not have a connection point in the unit.
D. Heat Anticipator Settings
The recommended room thermostats have a fixed heat antic ipator for heat pump heating. When using an accessory­electric heater to provide supplemental heat and emergency heat capability for the system, see the Installation Instruc tions packaged with the heater for setting the adjustable second-stage heat anticipator.
V. PREPARING UNIT FOR STARTUP WARNING/DANGER: A failure to observe the following
warnings could result in serious personal injury:

by H4 inch.
b. Make sure that air filter (s) is in place.
c. Make sure that condensate drain trap is filled with
water to ensure proper drainage.
d. Make sure that all tools and miscellaneous loose
parts have been removed.
7. Replace all access panels. (Unit is now ready for initial startup.)
B. Refrigerant Leaks
Proceed as follows to repair a refrigerant leak and to charge the unit:
WARNING: Never attempt to repair a soldered connection
while the refrigerant system is under pressure. Severe bodi ly injury may result. Always wear protective goggles when servicing the refrigerant system.
1. Locate leak and ensure that refrigerant system pressure has been relieved.
2. Repair leak, following accepted practices.
NOTE: Install a filter-drier whenever the system has been
opened for repair.
3. Add a small charge of R-22 refrigerant to system and leak-test unit.
4. Evacuate refrigerant system if additional leaks are not found.
5. Charge unit with R-22 refrigerant, using a volumetric charging cylinder or accurate scale. Refer to unit rating
plate for required charge. Be sure to add extra refrigerant to compensate for the internal volume of the filter-drier.
NOTE: See Section VI, part B, for checking and adjusting
refrigerant charge.
VI. STARTUP AND ADJUSTMENTS CAUTION: Complete the required procedures given in Sec
tion V, “Preparing Unit for Startup,” before starting the unit.
Do not jumper any safety devices when operating the unit. Do not operate the compressor until electric power has been
applied to the heat pump for a minimum of 4 hours to ensure that the oif-cycle crankcase heater has sufficiently warmed the compressor oil to free most of the accumulated refrigerant.
Do not rapid-cycle the compressor. Allow 5 minutes between “on” cycles to prevent compressor damage.
A. Checking Unit Operation
Start and check the unit for proper operation as follows:
1. Place room thermostat SYSTEM switch in OFF posi tion. Observe that indoor blower motor starts when FAN switch is placed in ON position and shuts down when FAN switch is placed in AUTO position.

2. Place SYSTEM switch in COOL position and FAN switch in AUTO position. Set thermostat cooling control below room temperature to start cooling cycle. Observe that compressor, outdoor fan, and indoor blower motors start. Observe that unit shuts down when control set ting is satisfied. Wait 5 minutes for pressures to equalize.
3. Place SYSTEM switch in HEAT position, and leave FAN switch in AUTO position. Increase thermostat
heating control setting gradually until thermostat
“calls” for heat. Observe that compressor, outdoor fan, and indoor blower motor start. If supplemental electric
heater is being used in the system, increase thermostat heating control setting an additional 6 degrees. Observe that the supplemental electric heater energizes. Set control setting below room temperature, and observe that heater deenergizes and that heat pump shuts down.
4. If supplemental electric heater is being used in the
system, leave FAN switch in AUTO position, SYSTEM switch in HEAT position, and move emergency heat switch from NORM, position to EM. HT. position. Set thermostat control setting above room temperature to
start heating cycle. Observe that all supplemental electric heat is energized, that indoor blower motor starts, that emergency heat indicator bulb lights, and that compressor and outdoor fan do not start. When con trol setting is satisfied, observe that heater deenergizes and that blower motor stops; however, indicator light should remain on as long as emergency heat switch is in
EM. HT. position.
5. If autochangeover thermostat P/N 34427DP115 is being used, place both SYSTEM and FAN switches in AUTO position. Observe that heat pump operates in heating mode when heating control selector is set above room temperature, and operates in cooling mode when cooling control selector is set below room temperature.
B. Checking and Adjusting Refrigerant Charge
The refrigerant system is fully charged with R-22 refrigerant, tested, and factory-sealed. For most applica
tions, the factory charge is the correct amount for the best
performance; however, this charge rnay require a slight
adjustment to attain rated performance.
-9-
Page 10
NOTE: Adjustment of the refrigerant charge is not required
unless the unit is suspected of not having the proper charge. An operating pressure/temperature tag is fastened inside
the compressor compartment. (Also see Tables IV and V.) Use this tag to approximate the charge if ARI rating condi tions can not be obtained, when evaluating the refrigerant charge by checking operating pressures and temperatures. This method of evaluating ensures that an optimum refrigerant charge is in the system when the system condi tions and components are normal; however, adjusting the refrigerant charge does not solve or fix system abnor malities.
The amount of refrigerant charge affects how efficiently and economically the unit operates. An overcharged or under charged unit leads to diminished efficiency, high operating costs, and the possibility of premature compressor failure.
CÀUTION; When evaluating the refrigerant charge, an
indicated adjustment to the specified factory charge must
always be very minimal. If a substantial adjustment is indi
cated, an abnormal condition exists somewhere in the
system; such as insufficient airflow across either coil or both
coils. When checking the refrigerant using the temperature/pres-
sure evaluation method, adhere to the following criteria:
1. Check refrigerant charge in cooling mode when outdoor temperature is above 65°F.
2. Check refrigerant charge in heating mode when outdoor temperature is below 65°F.
3. For best results, do not operate unit continuously for
more than 10 minutes if for any reason charge must be checked in opposite mode above or below 65°F.
Proceed as follows to evaluate the system performance and refrigerant charge:
1. Remove caps from low- and high-pressure service fit
tings. See Figure 8.
2. Attach low- and high-side pressure gauge hoses to low­and high-pressure service fittings, respectively. Hoses
must have valve core depressors. Gauges must be cali
brated for accuracy.
3. Set room thermostat below room temperature to start cooling operation or above room temperature to start
heating operation, depending on outdoor temperature. Allow unit to operate until conditions stabilize and pressures level out.
4. Determine and record these conditions:
a. Low- and high-side pressures. b. Dry-bulb temperature of inlet air at outdoor coil.
c. Temperature of inlet air at return-air grille—creí
bulb if operating in cooling mode or dry bulb if operat ing in heating mode.
5. Evaluate system performance and refrigerant charge by
comparing recorded reading with operating pres sure/temperature tag.
6. Make slight adjustment to refrigerate charge when
necessary.
NOTE: If the problem causing the inaccurate readings is a refrigerant leak, see Section V, part B, of these instructions.
high- and low-speed connection (except for 460-V motors
which have only a high-speed connection).
The system airflow for all direct-drive units (except 460-V)
can be changed, when necessary, by changing the blower motor speed connection from the factory setting to the unused speed connection. The factory setting is indicated on the unit wiring label. For operation of units designed for 208-V and 230-V operation, a blower motor speed connection may need to be changed. See unit wiring label. See Section
IV, part B, for the procedure. Model 542D060 and 542E060 3-phase units have belt-drive
blower motors. The system airflow for these units can be changed, when necessary, by adjusting the blower-motor pulley as follows:
CAUTION: Increasing the hlower speed places a heavier
load on the motor and increases the current. Do not exceed the rated full load amperage indicated on the rating plate of the blower motor.
1. Turn off power at disconnect switch.
2. Relieve belt tension, then remove drive belt from motor pulley.
3. Loosen setscrew in movable flange on motor pulley and turn flange either in to increase airflow or out to decrease
airflow.
4. Make sure that setscrew is over flat surface on pulley
hub and tighten setscrew.
5. Replace belt and adjust belt tension for approximately
one inch of sag under normal finger pressure midway between pulleys.
Tables VI and VII show the air delivery performance at various external static pressues. Determine the airflow for the system being installed as follows;
1. Start the unit and measure static pressure in duct
system at unit.
2. Refer to Table VI or VII and determine airflow at static
pressure measured.
NOTE: Be sure that all supply- and return-air grilles are open, free from obstructions, and adjusted properly.
When using an accessory electric heater, the system airflow
can also be determined by measuring the temperature rise through the unit, then using the following formula:
KW
AIRFLOW (ftVmin) =
TR
xY
where, KW = Heater nominal KW at 240 or 480V TR = Measured temperature rise Y =
200V 208V
2195
NOTE: Value Y varies with the operating voltage at the heater.
Interpolate to determine the value of Y for voltages not shown.

C. Indoor Airflow & Airflow Adjustments CAUTION; The recommended indoor airflow is 350 to 450
ft®/min per each 12,000 Btuh of rated unit capacity. Inade quate airflow can cause unsatisfactory operation and per formance.
Model 542E, sizes 024 thru 048, and single-phase 060-size units have direct-drive blower motors. All motors have a
CAUTION: When using an accessory electric heater, the
system airflow must be sufficient to prevent the heater limit switches from tripping off. W'hen using the 20-KW single phase heater, the system airflow must be at least 1000 ft^/min.

D. Unit Controls

All compressors have the following internal protection con trols:
1. High-Pressure Relief VaZue—This valve opens when the pressure differential between the low and high side becomes excessive.
2. Compressor Ckterload—This internal overload interrupts power to the compressor windings when either the cur rent or internal temperature become excessive, and au tomatically resets when the internal temperature drops to a safe level. This overload may require up to 60 minutes (or longer) to reset; therefore if the internal overload is suspected of being open, disconnect the electrical power to the unit and check the circuit thru
the overload with an ohmmeter or continuity tester.
3. Low-Pressure Switch—This switch with automatic reset interrupts the compressor control circuit when the
refrigerant high-side pressure becomes too low. It pro tects the compressor from damage attributable to loss of the refrigerant charge.
4. TimelTemperature Defrost System—The defrost control system consists of a defrost timer, a defrost thermostat switch, and a defrost relay. The system initiates defrost cycle operation every 90 minutes if a coil icing condition exists. See the defrost cycle sequence of operation in Section VII.
5. Crankcase Heater—This device prevents overdilution of compressor oil with refrigerant during shutdown
, periods, thereby extending the life of the compressor.
See the crankcase heater sequence of operation in Sec tion VII.
6. Compressor Quick-Start Components—These components are used with all single-phase units to improve com pressor starting characteristics.

7. Outdoor Fan Thermostat—This control, which is featured on all 3-phase units, maintains the proper cooling mode condensing temperature by switching the outdoor fan motor to high- or low-speed operation. Low-
2

speed fan operation permits low-ambient cooling opera tion down to 40°F outdoor temperature.
VII. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Do not leave the installation until the heat pump has been
observed throughout one or two complete cycles. The installer should make certain during this time that all com ponents are operating in correct sequence.
The sequences of operation described in this section pertain
.to size 036, 042, and 048 208/230-volt, 3-phase units;
however, the sequence of operation of all units is very simi lar. Refer to the line-to-line wiring diagram in Figure 13.
NOTE: Although the actual unit wiring may vary slightly
from that shown in Figure 13, the sequence of operation will not be affected. The sequences of operation described in this
section pertain to a typical system using room thermostat
P/N 34427DP115 or P/N 34427DP118 for system control, and using an accessory electric resistance heater for supple mental heat.
NOTE; The indoor blower motor will operate continuously,
regardless of the room thermostat SYSTEM switch position, when the FAN switch is in the ON position. The ON position of the FAN switch keeps the circuit through blower relay coil 2A closed and the coil energized. When the FAN switch is in the AUTO position, the blower operates only when the system is started by the room thermostat demand for heat ing or cooling.
A. Crankcase Heater Operation
Compressor crankcase heater llA is connected across nor mally open cmpressor contactor 2D contacts between 13 and
23. When electric power is supplied to the heat pump, and the unit is not operating in either the heating or cooling mode, a completed circuit between power legs LI and L3 per mits current to flow through one leg of compressor motor 3F windings and through crankcase heater 11 A. The high electrical resistance of the crankcase heater causes the heater to heat up, while the compressor motor windings serve only as a means of completing the circuit between LI and L3.
When the heat pump receives a “call” for either heating or cooling, normally open compressor contactor 2D contacts between 13 and 23 close. (See heating and cooling sequences of operation in this section.) Electric current, which always follows the path of least resistance, flows through the closed contacts and through both compressor motor 3F and outdoor fan motor 3D1. The crankcase heater, which offers a much higher electrical resistance than the two motors, receives virtually no electrical current as long as the contactor is energized.

Page 13
B. Cooling Operation
With the room thermostat SYSTEM switch in the COOL position and the FAN switch in the AUTO position, the cool ing sequence of operation is as follows:
When the room temperature rises to within 2 degrees of the cooling control setting of room thermostat, the thermostat cooling operation bulb tilts and connects thermostat ter minal R to thermostat terminal O. This completed circuit through the thermostat completes the circuit through unit terminal O. Reversing valve solenoid coil 5B and outdoor fan relay coil 2C are now connected across the 24-volt secondary of unit transformer IB.
Energized solenoid coil 5B switches the reversing valve from the normal heating mode position to the cooling mode posi tion. Energized outdoor fan relay coil 2C closes its set of nor mally open contacts between 1 and 3, and opens its set of
normally closed contacts between 1 and 2, permitting two-
speed outdoor fan motor 3D1 to operate on either high or low
speed, depending on the outdoor ambient temperature.
NOTE: When the contacts of outdoor fan relay 2C are in
their normal heating mode positions as shown in Figure 13, fan motor 3D1 operates on high speed, regardless of the out door ambient temperature.
The heat pump is now in the “standby” condition and ready to operate in the cooling mode when the room thermostat “calls” for cooling.
When the room temperature rises to a point that is slightly above the cooling control setting of the thermostat, the ther mostat cooling bulb tilts and thermostat terminal R is auto matically connected to thermostat terminals G and Y. These completed circuits through the thermostat connect indoor blower relay coil 2A (through unit terminal G) and com pressor contactor coil 2D (through unit terminal Y) across the 24-volt secondary of transformer IB.
The set of normally open contacts of energized relay 2A be tween 1 and 3 closes and completes the circuit through
indoor hlower motor 3D2. The motor starts instantly.
The two sets of normally open contacts of energized contac tor 2D between 13 and 23, and 11 and 21, close and complete the circuit through compressor motor 3F and outdoor fan motor 3D1. Both motors start instantly. The current flow through outdoor fan motor 3D1 also flows through fan switching thermostat 7K, which maintains the optimum cooling mode condensing temperature by switching the fan motor to high- or low-speed operation, depending on the out
door ambient temperature. The heat pump is now operating in the cooling mode. The
energized reversing valve is directing the high-temperature, high-pressure discharge gas to the outdoor coil, where the heat is transferred to the outdoor air.
All three energized motors continue to run and the cooling
cycle remains “on” until the room temperature drops to a
point that is slightly below the cooling control setting of the room thermostat. At this point, the thermostat cooling bulb tilts and breaks the circuit between thermostat R to ter minals G and Y. These open circuits deenergize indoor blower relay coil 2A and compressor contactor coil 2D. All closed contacts return to their normally open position, and all three motors stop.
The heat pump has now returned to a “standby” condition, awaiting another “call” for cooling hy the room thermostat. If the room temperature continues to fall, the thermostat cooling operation bulb will tilt and break the circuit be
tween thermostat terminals R and 0. This open circuit deenergizes reversing valve solenoid coil 5B and outdoor fan relay coil 2C. The fan relay contacts open, and the reversing valve switches to the normal heating mode position.
Except for the crankcase heater, all heat pump components are now deenergized. When the room temperature rises again and reaches the room thermostat control points, the cooling sequence will start again. If the room temperature continues to drop, the heat pump will remain “ofT’, and the heating mode will not start until the room thermostat SYSTEM switch is moved to the HEAT position (either HEAT or AUTO when using autochangeover thermostat P/N 34427DP115).
C. Heating Operation
With the room thermostat SYSTEM switch in the HEAT position and the FAN switch in the AUTO position, the heat ing sequence of operation is as follows:
When the room temperature drops to a point that is slightly
below the heating control setting of the thermostat, the
thermostat first-stage heating bulb “tilts” and thermostat terminal R is automatically connected to thermostat ter minals G and Y. These completed circuits through the ther mostat connect indoor blower relay coil 2A (through unit terminal G) and compressor contactor coil 2D (through unit terminal Y) across the 24-volt secondary of transformer IB.
The set of normally open contacts of energized relay 2A be tween 1 and 3 closes and completes the circuit through indoor hlower motor 3D2. The motor starts instantly.
The two sets of normally open contacts of energized contac tor 2D between 13 and 23, and 11 and 21, close and complete the circuit through compressor motor 3F and outdoor fan motor 3D1. Both motors start instantly. Outdoor fan motor 3D1 operates on high speed, regardless of the outdoor tem perature, because outdoor fan relay contacts 2C are in their normal heating mode positions, as shown in Figure 13. In these normal positions, the line-voltage circuit to fan motor 3D1 is always to the high-speed motor windings, regardless
of the switching action of fan switching thermostat 7K. The heat pump is now operating in the heating mode. The
nonenergized reversing valve is in the normal heating mode position and the high-temperature, high-pressure discharge gas is being directed to the indoor coil, where the heat is transferred to the indoor air.
All three energized motors continue to run, and the heating cycle remains “on” until the room temperature rises to a point that is slightly above the heating control setting of the
room thermostat. If the outdoor temperature has dropped to
the point where the heating capacity of the heat pump can not maintain the desired indoor room temperature, the
second-stage heating bulb will tilt when the indoor tem perature continues to drop to a point that is slightly below the factory differential setting of the room thermostat. Thermostat terminal R is automatically connected to ther mostat terminals W1 and W2. These completed circuits through the thermostat connect the relay coil (or coils if using a two- or three-bank heater) of the supplemental electric heater across the 24-V secondary of heat pump transformer IB. The electric heater energizes to provide sup plemental electric heat to the system.
NOTE: See the Installation Instructions packaged with the electric heater for a more comprehensive description of the electric heater sequence of operation.
When the room temperature rises to a point that is slightly
above the second-stage control setting, the second-stage heating bulb will tilt and break the circuit between ther
mostat terminal R to terminals W1 and W2. The supplemen tal electric heat deenergizes. When the room temperature continues to rise to a point that is slightly above the heating control setting of the room thermostat, the first-stage heat ing bulh tilts and breaks the citcuits between thermostat terminal R to terminals G and Y. These open circuits
-13-
Page 14
deenergize indoor blower relay coil 2A and compressor con tactor coil 2D. All closed contacts return to their normally open position and all three motors stop.
The heat pump has now returned to a “standby” condition awaiting another “call” for heating by the room thermostat. Except for the crankcase hater, all heat pump components
are now deenergized. If the room temperature continues to rise, the heat pump will remain “off” and the cooling mode will not start until the room thermostat SYSTEM switch is moved to the COOL position (either COOL or AUTO when using autochangeover thermostat P/N 34427DP115).
D. Defrost Cycle
The defrost control circuit consists of defrost timer 3M, defrost thermostat switch 7M, and defrost relay 2P. The defrost timer is factory-set for 90-minute intervals of elapsed running time, which results in optimum heating mode efficiency for most installations; however, the adjusta ble cam can be reset for a 30-minute interval when abnormal climatic conditions dictate. These conditions include excessive outdoor humidity at low outdoor temperatures or any condition that results in frequent incomplete de frosting.
CAUTION: Kever adjust the factory-set 9()-minute interval
unless an observed defrosting problem exists. An occasional deposit of frost on the outdoor coil, after a full 10-minute time-terminated defrost cycle, does not indicate that a problem exists. Frequent deposits of frost on the outdoor coil that occur throughout a wide range of outdoor temperatures indicate that a problem does exist.
With the heat pump operating in the heating mode, the defrost cycle sequence of operation is as follows:
Defrost thermostat 7M switches to the closed position when the outdoor coil refrigerant temperature drops to approx imately 30°F. When defrost timer 3M completes 90 minutes of elapsed running time, the normally open timer contacts between 3 and 4 close for approximately 10 seconds. If defrost thermostat is not closed during the 10-second inter val, the defrost cycle does not begin and the defrost control does not “look” for frost for another 90 minutes of elapsed running time.
When normally open defrost timer contacts between 3 and 4 close for their 10-second interval, and defrost thermostat switch 7M has switched close, the defrost control circuit is completed and defrost relay coil 2P is energized.
Energized defrost relay coil 2P switches all of its contacts and each of the following events occur simultaneously:
1. Normally open, high-voltage, defrost relay contacts be tween 7 and 9 close before defrost timer 3M contacts be tween 3 and 4 complete their 10-second interval. The defrost control circuit is maintaned and defrost relay coil 2P remains energized.
2. Normally closed, high-voltage, defrost relay contacts between 7 and 8 open and the circuit through outdoor fan motor 3D1 is broken. The motor stops running.
3. Normally open, low-voltage, defrost relay contacts be tween 1 and 3 close and complete the circuit to revers ing valve solenoid 5B. The reversing valve switches from the normal heating mode position to the cooling mode position and the hot discharge gas is directed to the outdoor coil to melt the frost on the coil.
4. Normally open, low-voltage, defrost relay contacts be tween 4 and 6 close. Unit terminal E is now connected to unit terminal W1 and the first bank of supplemental
electric heat is automatically energized. Terminals W1 and W2 of the room thermostat are internally con nected; therefore, any additional banks of supplemental electric heat are also automatically energized.
The system is now heating the conditioned space with the supplemental heaters while the outdoor coil is defrosting. When the outdoor coil refrigerant temperature rises to ap proximately 67°F, defrost thermostat 7M switches to the open position to terminate the defrost cycle; however, if the defrost thermostat 7M has not terminated the defrost cycle within a 10-minute interval, normally closed timer 3M con tacts between 3 and 5 automatically open and terminate the defrost cycle.
When the defrost cycle is terminated by either the defrost
thermostat or the timer contacts, defrost relay 2P is deenergized. Outdoor fan motor 3D1 restarts and reversing valve solenoid 5B is deenergized. The reversing valve
switches to the nrmal heating mode position. The supple mental electric heaters are deenergized if the room ther mostat is not “calling” for second-stage heating.
The system has now returned to normal heating mode opera tion. After 90 minutes of elapsed running time, defrost timer 3M will automatically make another check to determine if the outdoor coil requires defrosting.
E. Emergency Heat Operation
Thermostats P/N 34427DP115 and 34427DP118 have an emergency heat switch (EM. HT.) which can be used if there is a heat pump malfunction. When the switch is moved from the NORM, position to the EM. HT. position, the compressor and outdoor fan are deenergized, and the unit operates on electrical resistance heat only.
F. Automatic Changeover Operation
When using autochangeover thermostat P/N 34427DP115, switching to either heating or cooling is automatically con trolled by the room thermostat when the SYSTEM switch is in the AUTO position.
To prevent unwanted cycling between heating and cooling mode operation, the heating and cooling temperature selec tion levers provide for a 4°F minimum temperature setting differential. For most installations, this differential will probably be set closer to 10°F to comply with recommended guidelines for energy conservation.
With both the SYSTEM and FAN switches in the AUTO position, the heat pump will start operation in the heating mode when the room temperature drops to a point that is slightly below the heating control setting, or will start operation in the cooling mode when the room temperature rises to a point that is slightly above the cooling control set ting.
VHI. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To ensure continuing high performance, and to minimize the possibility of premature equipment failure, periodic mainte nance must be performed on this equipment. This packaged heat pump should be inspected at least once each year by a service person who is properly trained and equipped.

ally. Be sure to disconnect the electrical power to the unit. Remove the control, blower, and compressor compartment access panels 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 lease one com plete cooling cycle and one complete heating cycle (tem perature permitting) to ensure proper operation. If discre pancies are observed or a suspected malfunction has occured, check each electrical component with the proper electrical instrumentation. Refer to the unit wiring label when making these checkouts.
NOTE: Refer to the sequences of operation in this publica tion as an aid in determining proper control operation.
H. Refrigerant Circuit
Inspect all refrigerant tubing connections and the unit base for oil accumulations annually. Detecting oil genrally indi cates a refrigerant leak.
If oil is detected or if diminished performance is suspected, leak-test all refrigerant tubing; using an electronic leak detector, halide torch, or liquid soap solution. If a refrigerant leak is detected, see Section V, part B, “Refrigerant Leaks,” in this publication.
If no refrigerant leaks are found and diminished perfor mance is suspected, see Section VI, part B, “Checking and Adjusting Refrigerant Charge,” in this publication.
I. Indoor Airflow
The indoor airflow does not require checking unless improper performance is suspected. If a problem exists, he
sure that all supply-and return-air grilles ae open and free from obstructions, and that the air filter (s) is clean. When
necessary, refer to Section VI, part C, of this publication to check the system airflow.
