Section 2: Installation Introduction
Pre-Installation
Special care should be taken in locating the
geothermal unit. Installation location chosen should
include adequate service clearance around
the unit. All vertical units should be placed on a
formed plastic air pad, or a high density, closed
cell polystyrene pad
the unit. Flex connectors should also be installed in
between the ductwork and the unit. All units should
be located in an indoor area where the ambient
temperature will remain above 55°F and should be
located in a way that piping and ductwork or other
permanently installed xtures do not have to be
removed for servicing and lter replacement.
slightly larger than the base of
Pre-Installation Steps
1. Compare the electrical data on the unit
nameplate with packing slip and ordering
information to verify that the correct unit has
been shipped.
2. Remove any packaging used to support or hold
the blower during shipping. Remove and discard
the blower motor armature shaft shipping
bracket from the rear of the blower.
3. Inspect all electrical connections
and wires. Connections must be clean and tight
at the terminals, and wires should not touch any
sharp edges or copper pipe.
4. Verify that all refrigerant tubing is free of dents
and kinks. Refrigerant tubing should not be
touching other unit components.
5. Before unit start-up, read all manuals and
become familiar with unit components and
operation. Thoroughly check the unit before
operating.
6. Determine discharge and return air patterns
prior to unit assembly and installation.
and protects unit by locking out when safety
switches are engaged. It also provides fault
indicator(s).
Terminal Strip: Provides connection to the thermostat
or other accessories to the low voltage circuit.
Transformer: Converts incoming (source) voltage to
24V AC.
Low Voltage Breaker: Attached directly to
transformer, protects the transformer and low
voltage circuit.
Reversing Valve: Controls the cycle of the
refrigerant system (heating or cooling). Energized in
cooling mode.
High Pressure Switch: Protects the refrigerant system
from high refrigerant pressure, by locking unit out if
pressure exceeds setting.
Low Pressure Switch: Protects the refrigerant system
from low suction pressure, if suction pressure falls
below setting.
Flow Switch (Freeze Protection Device): Protects the
water heat exchanger from freezing, by shutting
down compressor if water ow decreases.
Electric Heater: Provides auxiliary heat during cold
temperatures and provides electric backup if unit
malfunctions.
Enertech GlobalIOM, XT Models
Blower Motor (ECM): ECM (Electronically
Commtated Motor) for variable fan speeds.
Compressor (Copeland Scroll): Pumps refrigerant
through the heat exchangers and pressurizes the
refrigerant, which increases the temperature of the
refrigerant.

Section 3: Installation Considerations
Consumer Instructions: Dealer should instruct the
consumer in proper operation, maintenance, lter
replacements, thermostat and indicator lights. Also
provide the consumer with the manufacturer’s
Owner’s Manual for the equipment being installed.
Enertech Global D-I-Y Policy: Enertech Global’s
geothermal heat pumps and system installations
may include electrical, refrigerant and/or water
connections. Federal, state and local codes
and regulations apply to various aspects of the
installation. Improperly installed equipment can lead
to equipment failure and health/safety concerns. For
these reasons, only qualied technicians should install
a Enertech Global built geothermal system.
Because of the importance of proper installation,
Enertech Global does not sell equipment direct to
homeowners. Internet websites and HVAC outlets may
allow for purchases directly by homeowners and doit-yourselfers, but Enertech Global offers no warranty
on equipment that is purchased via the internet or
installed by persons without proper training.
Enertech Global has set forth this policy to ensure
installations of Enertech Global geothermal systems
are done safely and properly. The use of well-trained,
qualied technicians helps ensure that your system
provides many years of comfort and savings.
Thermostat: Thermostats should be installed
approximately 54 inches off the oor on an inside
wall in the return air pattern and where they are not
in direct sunlight at anytime.
Loop Pumping Modules: Must be wired to the heat
pump’s electric control box. A special entrance
knockout is provided below the thermostat
entrance knockout. A pump module connection
block, connected to the master contactor, and
circuit breaker is provided to connect the Pump
Module wiring.
Desuperheater Package: Water heating is standard
on all residential units (units may be ordered without).
It uses excess heat, during both heating and cooling
cycles, to provide hot water for domestic needs. A
double wall desuperheater exchanger (coil) located
between the compressor and the reversing valve,
extracts superheated vapor to heat domestic water;
while satisfying its heating and cooling needs. The
water circulation pump comes pre-mounted in all
residential units, but must be electrically connected to
the master contactor. Leaving it unconnected ensures
that the pump is not run without a water supply.
The Desuperheater package can make up to
60% (depending on heat pump usage) of most
domestic water needs, but a water heater is still
recommended.
Equipment Installation: Special care should be
taken in locating the unit. All vertical units should
be placed on a vibration absorbing pad (air pad)
slightly larger than the base of the unit. Downow
units should be placed on a non-combustible
base. Flex connectors should also be installed in
between the ductwork and the unit. All units should
be located in an indoor area were the ambient
temperature will remain above 55°F and should be
located in a way that piping and ductwork or other
permanently installed xtures do not have to be
removed for servicing and lter replacement.
Electrical: All wiring, line and low voltage, should
comply with the manufacturer’s recommendations,
The National Electrical Code, and all local codes
and ordinances.
Desuperheater Piping: All copper tubes & ttings
should be 5/8” O.D (1/2” nom) minimum with a
maximum of 50ft separation. Piping should be
insulated with 3/8” wall closed cell insulation.
Note: Copper is the only approved material for
desuperheater piping.
UV Light Usage:
air plenum should be such that the light does not
have a direct line of sight to the air coil of the unit.
UV lights could cause internal wiring, foam insulation,
or other components to deteriorate. It would be
better to place the UV light in the supply air plenum,
or ductwork. This also helps keep the light cleaner.
Additionally, if a humidier is installed and in line
of the sight of the UV light, consult the humidier
install manual for indication of whether the light will
deteriorate any parts of the humidier (like the pad).
The use of a UV light in the unit return

Section 3: Installation Considerations
Unit Placement
When installing a geothermal heating and cooling
unit, there are several items the installer should
consider before placing
the equipment.
1. Service Access. Is there enough space for
service access? A general rule of thumb is at
least 2 feet in the front and 2 feet on at least one
side.
2. Unit Air Pad. All vertical geothermal heating
and cooling equipment should be placed on
either a formed plastic air pad, or a high density,
closed cell polystyrene pad. Downow units
should be placed on a non-combustible base.
This helps eliminate vibration noise that could be
transmitted through the oor.
3. The installer has veried that all applicable
wiring, ductwork, piping, and accessories are
correct and on the job site.
Duct Work
All new ductwork shall be designed as outlined
in Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors
National Association (SMACNA) or Air Conditioning
Contractors of America (ACCA) or American
Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) handbooks.
All supply/return plenums should be isolated
from the unit by a exible connector (canvas) or
equivalent to prevent transfer of vibration noise
to the ductwork. The ex connector should be
designed so as not to restrict airow. Turning vanes
should be used on any transition with airow over
500 CFM. If the unit is installed in a unconditioned
space, the metal ductwork should be insulated
on the inside with berglass insulation or similar
insulation to prevent heat loss/gain and to absorb
air noise. If the unit is being installed with existing
ductwork, the ductwork must be designed to
handle the air volume required by the unit being
installed. When running a cooling or heating load on
a building, size ductwork accordingly to the building
design load and heat pump CFM.
Industry Standard: When sizing ductwork use 400
CFM per Ton.
As a general rule, maximum recommended face
velocity for a supply outlet used in a residential
application is 750 FPM. Maximum recommended
return grille velocity is 600 FPM. Systems with higher
velocity, are likely to have noise problems.
In buildings where ceilings are 8 feet or more, at
least 50 percent of the return air should be taken
back to the heat pump from the ceiling or high
sidewall location and not more than 50 percent
from the oor or low sidewall location.

is shipped inside the unit. The control box
plugs into the electrical connection plate
on the top of the unit and mounts with
two screws to the top of the unit.
To convert the unit to right hand return air:
1. Remove the front panels and rear panels. The
panel screws are located under the band that
runs across the middle of the unit.
(GeoComfort & Hydron Module units only)
2. Rotate the unit to the correct position.
3. Move the unit controls connection plate from
its current position (on the top of the unit) to
the opposite side of the top of the unit. Use the
block off plate from that side to cover the other
side.
4. Mount the control box on what is now the top
front of the unit. Plugs are available now to
facilitate this.
5. Replace the front and rear panels onto
the unit.
The source, hot water generator, and condensate
ttings are on the air coil side of the unit, under
the air coil itself. These connections are easier to
facilitate if done prior to the tting of the return air
drop.
To convert the unit to downow supply air:
1. Remove the screws holding the blower and
heater housing and drop the
assembly down.
2. Remove the block off plate from the area
under the blower housing on the bottom blower
section panel.
3. Place the block off plate over the opening
where the blower housing was.
4. Install the downow duct kit (instruction
included with kit, which is ordered and shipped
separately) in the compressor section of the
unit.
5. Install the heater and blower housing assembly
onto the downow opening in the blower
section securing it with the screws removed in
step 1.

Section 5: Unit Piping Installation
Water Quality
The quality of the water used in geothermal
systems is very important. In closed loop systems the
dilution water (water mixed with antifreeze) must
be of high quality to ensure adequate corrosion
protection. Water of poor quality contains ions that
make the uid “hard” and corrosive. Calcium and
magnesium hardness ions build up as scale on the
walls of the system and reduce heat transfer. These
ions may also react with the corrosion inhibitors
in glycol based heat transfer uids, causing them
to precipitate out of solution and rendering the
inhibitors ineffective in protecting against corrosion.
In addition, high concentrations of corrosive ions,
such as chloride and sulfate, will eat through any
protective layer that the corrosion inhibitors form on
the walls of the system.
Ideally, de-ionized water should be used for dilution
with antifreeze solutions since de-ionizing removes
both corrosive and hardness ions. Distilled water
and zeolite softened water are also acceptable.
Softened water, although free of hardness ions, may
actually have increased concentrations of corrosive
ions and, therefore, its quality must be monitored.
It is recommended that dilution water contain less
than 100 PPM calcium carbonate or less than 25
PPM calcium plus magnesium ions; and less than 25
PPM chloride or sulfate ions.
In an open loop system the water quality is of no
less importance. Due to the inherent variation of the
supply water, it should be tested prior to making the
decision to use an open loop system. Scaling of the
heat exchanger and corrosion of the internal parts
are two of the potential problems. The Department
of Natural Resources or your local municipality can
direct you to the proper testing agency. Please see
following table for guidelines.
Removing Debris During Purging
Most ow center or pump failures are a result of
poor water quality or debris. Debris entering the loop
during fusion and installation can cause noise aand
premature pump failure. Enertech recommends a
double ush ltering method during purging. When
purging, use a 100 micron bag lter until air bubbles
are removed. Remove the 100 micron bag, replace
it with a 1 micron bag and restart the ushing.

Section 5: Unit Piping Installation
Interior Piping
All interior piping must be sized for proper ow rates
and pressure loss. Insulation should be used on all
inside piping when minimum loop temperatures
are expected to be less than 50°F. Use the table
below for insulation sizes with different pipe sizes.
All pipe insulation should be a closed cell and
have a minimum wall thickness of 3/8”. All piping
insulation should be glued and sealed to prevent
condensation and dripping. Interior piping may
consist of the following materials: HDPE, copper,
brass, or rubber hose (hose kit only). PVC is not
allowed on pressurized systems.

Typical Pressurized Flow Center Installation
The ow centers are insulated and contain all
ushing and circulation connections for residential
and light commercial earth loops that require a
ow rate of no more than 20 gpm. 1-1/4” fusion x
1” double o-ring ttings (AGA6PES) are furnished
with the double o-ring ow centers for HDPE
loop constructions. Various ttings are available
for the double o-ring ow centers for different
connections. See gure 6 for connection options.
A typical installation will require the use of a hose
kit. Matching hose kits come with double o-ring
adapters to transition to 1” hose connection.
Note: Threaded ow centers all have 1” FPT
connections. Matching hose kits come with the
AGBA55 adapter needed to transition from 1” FPT to
1” hose.

Typical Non-Pressurized Flow Center
Installation
Standing column ow centers are designed to
operate with no static pressure on the earth loop.
The design is such that the column of water in the
ow center is enough pressure to prime the pumps
for proper system operation and pump reliability.
The ow center does have a cap/seal, so it is still a
closed system, where the uid will not evaporate. If
the earth loop header is external, the loop system
will still need to be ushed with a purge cart.
Figure 7: Typical Single Unit Piping Connection (Non-Pressurized Flow Center)

The non-pressurized ow center needs to be isolated

Flushing & Charging a Pressurized Flow
Center
Once piping is completed between the unit, ow
center, and the earth loop, nal purging and
charging of the system is needed. A ush cart (at
least a minimum of 1.5 hp pump motor or larger)
is needed to achieve adequate ow velocity (2
fps in all piping) in the loop to purge air and debris
from the loop piping (unless the header manifold is
located inside and has isolation valves). All air and
debris must be removed from the system before
operation or pump failure could result. The ush
ports located on the ow center are access to the
piping system for the ush cart. See gure 7 for
connection details.
The 3-way valves on the ow center include
direction indicators on the valves which determine
the ow path. A 3/8” socket drive is required to
operate the 3-way valves. The valves will turn in
either direction, 360 degrees. Make sure during this
process that the valves are in the same position so
that air does not become trapped in the system.
Figure 9: Enertech Flush Cart
Flush Cart Design
The Enertech Manufacturing ush cart has been
designed to effectively and efciently ush the
earth loop and to facilitate injecting and mixing of
the antifreeze. The single most important element
in ow center reliability is the ability to remove all
the air and debris from the loop and to provide the
proper working pressure.

Step 1: Flushing the Earth Loop
1. Connect ush cart hoses to ow center ush
ports using proper adapters #AGAFP.
2. Connect water supply to hose connection on
return line of ush cart.
3. Turn both 3-way valves on ow center to ush
ports and loop position.
4. Turn on water supply (make sure water is of
proper quality).
5. As the reservoir lls up, turn the pump on and off,
sucking the water level down. Do not allow the
water level to drop below intake tting to the
pump.
6. Once the water level remains above the water
outlet in the reservoir leave the pump running
continuously.

1. Once the water level stays above the “T” in
the reservoir, turn off the water supply (this also
allows observation of air bubbles).
2. 8.
Run the pump for a minimum of 2 hours for
proper ushing and purging (depending on
system size it may take longer).
3. “Dead head” the pump every so often and
watch the water level in the reservoir. Once all
the air is removed there should not be more than
a 1” to 2” drop in water level in the reservoir. If
there is more than a 2” drop, air is still trapped in
the system. This is the only way to tell if air is still
trapped in the system.
4. To dead head the pump, shut off the return side
ball valve on the ush cart. This will provide a
surge in pressure to the system piping, helping to
get the air bubbles moving. Do not reverse ow
during ushing.
Water Quality: Even on a closed loop system water
quality is an issue. The system needs to be lled with
clean water. If the water on site has high iron content,
high hardness, or the PH is out of balance, premature
pump failure may result. Depending upon water
quality, it may need to be brought in from off site.
Step 2: Flushing the Unit
1. Turn off the pump on the ush cart.
2. Turn both 3-way valves to the unit and ush port
position.
3. Turn the pump back on. It may be necessary to
turn the water supply back on to keep the water
level in the reservoir above the return tee.
4. This should only take 5 to 10 minutes to purge the
unit.
5. Once this is done, the entire system is now full of
water, and the ush cart pump may be turned
off.
Step 3: Adding Antifreeze by Displacement
If the antifreeze was not added when the loop was
being lled, it will be necessary to follow the next
few steps.
1. Turn both 3-way “Ts” back to the original position
for ushing the loop only.
2. Close the return side ball valve on the ush cart.
3. Connect hose to the return side discharge line
and run it to a drain. Open the ball valve on
discharge line on ush cart.
4. Turn pump on until water level is sucked down
just above the water outlet in the reservoir, and
turn pump off. Be sure not to suck air back into
the system.
5. Fill the reservoir back up with the antifreeze.
6. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until all the antifreeze is in
the system and reservoir.
7. Turn the discharge line ball valve off at the ush
cart. Turn the return line ball valve back to the
on position.
Enertech GlobalIOM, XT Models
20
Section 5: Unit Piping Installation
8. It may be necessary to add some water into
the reservoir to keep the water level above the
return tee so that the solution does not foam.
9. The system must be run for 3 to 4 hours to mix the
antifreeze and water in the reservoir. The uid
will not mix inside the loop.
10. Check the antifreeze level every so often to
insure that the proper amount was added to the
system (see antifreeze charging section).
Step 4: Final Pressurization of System
Once all of the air and debris has been removed,
and the antifreeze has been added and mixed, the
system is ready for nal pressurization.
1. Turn one of the 3-way valves so that it is open
to all 3 ports, the unit, loop, and ush port. Turn
the other valve so it is only open to the loop and
ush port (pressure is also applied to the hose kit
in this arrangement).
2. Turn the ush cart pump on and allow the system
to start circulating.
3. With the pump running, turn the return line ball
valve to the off position on the ush cart, “dead
heading” the pump.
4. There should be a maximum of 1” to 2” inches of
drop in the water level in the reservoir. This only
takes about 3-5 seconds.
5. Next, turn the supply line ball valve to the off
position on the ush cart (isolates the ow center
from the ush cart).
6. Now that the system is isolated from the reservoir
the pump can be turned off. Do not open the
main ush cart ball valves yet.
7. Connect the water supply back to the discharge
line hose connection, and open the ball valve.
Turn on the water supply and leave it on for 20 to
30 minutes. This will stretch the pipe properly to
insure that the system will not have a “at” loop
during cooling operation.
8. Once the loop is pressured (recommended
pressure on initial start up is 50 to 70 psi), turn
the water supply off. Turn off the discharge line
ball valve, and disconnect the water supply.
Maximum pressure should never exceed 100 psi
under any circumstance!
9. Turn the 3-way valves on the ow center back
to the normal operation mode, which closes the
ush port connections.
10. Open the ball valves on the ush cart to relieve
pressure on the hoses. Disconnect the hoses from
the ow center.
Note: Pressurized ow centers and Grundfos UP
series pumps need a minimum of 3psi on the suction
side of the pump to operate. Maximum operating
pressure is 100 psi.
Loop static pressure will uctuate with the seasons.
Pressures will be higher in the winter months than
during the summer months. In the cooling mode
the heat pump is rejecting heat, which relaxes
the pipe. This uctuation is normal and needs to
be considered when charging and pressuring the
system initially. Typical operating pressures of an
earth loop are 15 to 50 psi.
Note - Burping pump(s): On ow center initial start
up, the pumps must be bled of air. Start the system
and remove the bleed screw from the back side of
the pump(s). This allows any trapped air to bleed
out. It also oods the pump shaft, and keeps the
pump(s) cool. Failure to do this could result in
premature pump failure.
Typical Non-Pressurized Flow Center
Installation
Standing column ow centers are designed to
operate with no static pressure on the earth loop.
The design is such that the column of water in the
ow center is enough pressure to prime the pumps
for proper system operation and pump reliability.
The ow center does have a cap/seal, so it is still a
closed system, where the uid will not evaporate. If
the earth loop header is external, the loop system will
still need to be ushed with a purge cart. The nonpressurized ow center needs to be isolated from the
ush cart during ushing because the ow center is
not designed to handle pressure. Since this is a nonpressurized system, the interior piping can incorporate
all the above-mentioned pipe material options (see
interior piping), including PVC. The ow center can
be mounted to the wall with the included bracket
or mounted on the oor as long as it is properly
supported.
IOM, XT ModelsEnertech Global
21
Section 5: Unit Piping Installation
Flushing the Interior Piping (Non-Pressurized)
Do not use the ush cart to purge the interior piping
and ow center in a non-pressurized system. Once
the loop has been ushed the ball valves may be
opened above the ush ports. Take a garden hose
from the ush port connected to the water out to
the loop pipe, and run the other end of the hose
into the top of the canister. Fill the canister with
water and turn the pumps on. Continue to ll the
canister until the water level stays above the dip
tube. Once lling is complete, remove the hose
and close the ush port. Turn the system on. Any air
that may still be in the system will burp itself out of
the top of the canister. Leave the top open for the
rst 1/2 hour of run time to ensure that all of the air
is bled out. Tighten the cap on the ow center to
complete the ushing and lling procedure (hand
tighten only -- do not use a wrench).
Antifreeze Overview
In areas where 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, local and state/provincial
codes supersede any instructions in this document.
The system needs antifreeze to protect the coaxial
heat exchanger from freezing and rupturing. Freeze
protection should be maintained to 15°F below the
lowest expected entering source loop temperature.
For example, if 30°F is the minimum expected
entering source loop temperature, the leaving
source loop temperature could be 22 to 25°F. Freeze
protection should be set at 15°F (30-15 = 15°F). To
determine antifreeze requirements, calculate how
much volume the system holds. Then, calculate how
much antifreeze will be needed by determining
the percentage of antifreeze required for proper
freeze protection. See Tables 4 and 5 for volumes
and percentages. The freeze protection should
be checked during installation using the proper
hydrometer to measure the specic gravity and
freeze protection level of the solution.
Antifreeze Characteristics
Selection of the antifreeze solution for closed loop
systems require the consideration of many important
factors, which have long-term implications on the
performance and life of the equipment. Each area
of concern leads to a different “best choice” of
antifreeze. There is no “perfect” antifreeze. Some
of the factors to consider are as follows (Brine =
antifreeze solution including water):
Safety: The toxicity and ammability of the brine
(especially in a pure form).
Cost: Prices vary widely.
Thermal Performance: The heat transfer and viscosity
effect of the brine.
Corrosiveness: The brine must be compatible with
the system materials.
Stability: Will the brine require periodic change out
or maintenance?
Convenience: Is the antifreeze available and easy
to transport and install?
Codes: Will the brine meet local and state/provincial
codes?
The following are some general observations about
the types of brines presently being used:
Methanol: Wood grain alcohol that is considered
toxic in pure form. It has good heat transfer, low
viscosity, is non-corrosive, and is mid to low price.
The biggest down side is that it is ammable in
concentrations greater than 25%.
Ethanol: Grain alcohol, which by the ATF (Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms) department of the U.S.
government, is required to be denatured and
rendered unt to drink. It has good heat transfer,
mid to high price, is non-corrosive, non-toxic
even in its pure form, and has medium viscosity.
It also is ammable with concentrations greater
than 25%. Note that the brand of ethanol is very
important. Make sure it has been formulated for
the geothermal industry. Some of the denaturants
are not compatible with HDPE pipe (for example,
solutions denatured with gasoline).
Enertech GlobalIOM, XT Models
22
Section 5: Unit Piping Installation
Propylene Glycol: Non-toxic, non-corrosive, mid to
high price, poor heat transfer, high viscosity when
cold, and can introduce micro air bubbles when
adding to the system. It has also been known to
form a “slime-type” coating inside the pipe. Food
grade glycol is recommended because some of the
other types have certain inhibitors that react poorly
with geothermal systems. A 25% brine solution is a
minimum required by glycol manufacturers, so that
bacteria does not start to form.
Ethylene Glycol: Considered toxic and is not
recommended for use in earth loop applications.
GS4 (POTASSIUM ACETATE): Considered highly
corrosive (especially if air is present in the system)
and has a very low surface tension, which causes
leaks through most mechanical ttings. This
brine is not recommended for use in earth loop
applications.
Notes:
1.Consult with your representative or distributor
if you have any questions regarding antifreeze
selection or use.
2.All antifreeze suppliers and manufacturers
recommend the use of either de-ionized or
distilled water with their products.
Antifreeze Charging
Calculate the total amount of pipe in the system
and use Table 4 to calculate the amount of volume
for each specic section of the system. Add the
entire volume together, and multiply that volume by
the proper antifreeze percentage needed (Table 5)
for the freeze protection required in your area. Then,
double check calculations during installation with
the proper hydrometer and specic gravity chart
(Figure 9) to determine if the correct amount of
antifreeze was added.

Open Loop Piping and Connections
Placement of the components for an open loop
system are important when considering water quality
and long term maintenance. The water solenoid
valve should always be placed on the outlet of the
heat pump, which will keep the heat exchanger
under pressure when the unit is not operating. If the
heat exchanger is under pressure, minerals will stay in
suspension. Water solenoid valves are also designed
to close against the pressure, not with the pressure.
Otherwise, they tend to be noisy when closing.
A ow regulator should be placed after the
water solenoid valve. Always check the product
specication catalog for proper ow rate. A
calculation must be made to determine the ow
rate, so that the leaving water temperature does not
have the possibility of freezing.
Other necessary components include a strainer,
boiler drains for heat exchanger ushing, P/T ports
and ball valves. Ball valves allow the water to be
shut off for service, and also help when velocity
noise is noticeable through the ow regulator.
Spreading some of the pressure drop across the ball
valves will lessen the
velocity noise. Always double check ow rate at the
P/T ports to make sure the ball valve adjustments
have not lowered water ow too much, and
essentially taken the ow regulator out of the
equation. It’s a good idea to remove the ball valve
handles once the system is completed to avoid
nuisance service calls.
Hose kits are optional, but make for an easier
installation, since the P/T ports and connections are
included. The hose also helps to isolate the heat
pump from the piping system.
Since the heat pump can operate at lower
waterow on rst stage, two stage units typically
include two water solenoid valves to save water.
The ow regulators should be sized so that when
one valve is open the unit operates at rst stage
ow rate, and when both valves are open, the unit
operates at full load ow rate. For example, a 4 ton
unit needs approximately 4 GPM on rst stage, and
approximately 7 GPM at full load. The ow regulator
after the rst valve should be 4 GPM, and the ow
regulator after the second valve should be 3 GPM.
When both valves are open, the unit will operate at
7 GPM.

Section 9: Controls
Microprocessor Features and Operation
Enertech Global geothermal heat pump controls
provide a unique modular approach for controlling
heat pump operation. The control system uses one,
two, or three printed circuit boards, depending
upon the features of a particular unit. This approach
simplies installation and troubleshooting, and
eliminates features that are not applicable for some
units.
A microprocessor-based printed circuit board
controls the inputs to the unit as well as outputs for
status mode, faults, and diagnostics. A status LED
and an LED for each fault is provided for diagnostics.
An ECM control module provides eld selectable
options for airow and dehumidication mode, plus
an LED to indicate CFM (100 CFM per ash).
Removable low voltage terminal strips provide all
necessary terminals for eld connections. Not only
are the thermostat inputs included, but there are
also two additional removable terminal strips for all
of the accessory and electric heat wiring for ease of
installation and troubleshooting.
Startup/Random Start
The unit will not operate until all the inputs and
safety controls are checked for normal conditions.
At rst power-up, the compressor is energized after a
ve minute delay. In addition, a zero to sixty second
random start delay is added at rst power-up to
avoid multiple units from being energized at the
same time.
Water Solenoid Valve Connections
Two accessory relay outputs at the terminal strip
provide a eld connection for two types of water
solenoid valves, a standard 24VAC solenoid valve,
or a 24VAC solenoid valve with an end switch.
Additional eld wiring is no longer required for
operation of the end switch.
Humidier/Dehumidication Connections
Connections for a humidistat are provided, which
automatically engages the fan when the humidistat
contact closes. In addition, a eld connection is
provided at the terminal strip for external control of
the On Demand Dehumidication (ODD) feature for
the variable speed ECM motor, which automatically
lowers the fan speed when the space humidity is
higher than set point. Either connection may be
used with a thermostat that includes humidier/
dehumidication outputs. Not applicable for splits/
water-to-water.
Airow Monitor
An LED on the ECM control module ashes one time
per 100 CFM when the unit’s fan is operating to
indicate airow.
Resistance Heat Control
The electric heat control module contains the
appropriate high-voltage control relays. Low
voltage control signals from the compressor
section energize the relays in the electric heat
module to engage backup electric heat when
necessary.
Short Cycle Protection
A built-in ve minute anti-short cycle
timer provides short cycle protection of
the compressor.
Component Sequencing Delays
Components are sequenced and delayed for
optimum space conditioning performance and to
make any startup noise less noticeable.
Test Mode
The microprocessor control allows the technician to
shorten most timing delays for faster diagnostics by
changing the position of a jumper located on the
lockout board.
IOM, XT ModelsEnertech Global
Electronic Condensate Overow Protection
The control board utilizes an impedance sensing
liquid sensor at the top of the drain pan. Since the
drain pan is grounded, when water touches the
sensor for 30 continuous seconds, the sensor sends a
ground signal to the lockout board, indicating that a
condensate overow fault has occurred.
Loop Pump Circuit Breakers
The loop pump(s) and desuperheater pump are
protected by control box mounted circuit breakers
for easy wiring of pumps during installation. Circuit
breakers eliminate the need to replace fuses.

Safety Controls
The control receives separate signals for high
pressure, low pressure, low water ow, and
condensate overow faults. Upon a continuous
30-second measurement of the fault (immediate for
high pressure), compressor operation is suspended
(see Fault Retry below), and the appropriate LED
ashes. Once the unit is locked out (see Fault Retry
below), an output (terminal “L”) is made available
to a fault LED at the thermostat.
Low Pressure: If the low pressure switch is open for
30 continuous seconds, the compressor operation
will be interrupted, and the control will go into fault
retry mode. At startup, the low pressure switch is not
monitored for 90 seconds to avoid nuisance faults.
High Pressure: If the high pressure switch opens, the
compressor operation will be interrupted, and the
control will go into fault retry mode. There is no delay
from the time the switch opens and the board goes
into fault retry mode. There is also no delay of switch
monitoring at startup.
Flow Switch: If the ow switch is open for 30
continuous seconds, the compressor operation will
be interrupted, and the control will go into fault retry
mode. At startup, the ow switch is not monitored
for 30 seconds to avoid nuisance faults.
Condensate Overow: If water touches the
condensate overow sensor for 30 continuous
seconds, the compressor operation will be
interrupted, and the control will go into fault retry
mode. There is no delay of switch monitoring at
startup.
Fault Retry
All faults are retried twice before nally locking the
unit out. The fault retry feature is designed to prevent
nuisance service calls. There is an anti-short cycle
(ASC) period (5 min.) between fault retries. On the
third fault within 30 minutes, the board will go into
lockout mode and the “Call For Service” indicator
on the thermostat will illuminate.
Intelligent Lockout Reset
If the thermostat is powered off then back on (soft
reset), the board will reset and the last fault will be
stored in memory for ease of troubleshooting. If
power is interrupted to the board, the fault memory
will be cleared.
Over/Under Voltage Protection
The lockout board protects the compressor from
operating when an over/under voltage condition
exists. The control monitors secondary voltage
(24VAC) to determine if an over/under voltage
condition is occurring on the primary side of the
transformer. For example, if the secondary voltage
is 18VAC, the primary voltage for a 240V unit would
be approximately 180V, which is below the minimum
voltage (197V) recommended by the compressor
manufacturer. Under voltage (<18VAC) causes the
compressor to disengage and restart when the
voltage returns to >20VAC. Over voltage (>31VAC)
causes the compressor to disengage and restart
when the voltage returns to <29VAC.
When an O/U Voltage condition occurs, the board
will initiate a fault, shut down the compressor, and
start the ve minute ASC period. All four fault LEDs
will ash (HP + LP + FS + CO) and the thermostat
“Call For Service” indicator will be illuminated. This
feature is self-resetting. If voltage returns to normal
range normal operation will resume if/when the ASC
period is over (except if in lockout mode). If voltage
is still out of range at the end of the ASC period the
control will execute a Fault Retry. On the third fault
within 30 minutes, the board will go into lockout
mode and illuminate the “Call For Service” indicator.
When normal operation is restored the four fault
LED’s will stop ashing and the “Call For Service”
indicator will turn off.
Enertech GlobalIOM, XT Models

Section 9: Controls
Lockout with Emergency Heat
While in lockout mode, if the thermostat is calling for
backup heat, emergency heat mode will occur.
Diagnostics
The lockout board includes ve LEDs (status, high
pressure, low pressure, low water ow, condensate
overow) for fast and simple control board
diagnosis. Below is a table showing LED function.

Notes:
1. Looking at the board when the LEDs are on the right hand side.
2. If all ve lights are ashing, the fault is over/under voltage.
3. Only the light associated with the particular fault/lockout will be on or ashing.
For example, if a high pressure lockout has occurred, the top green light will be on.
The orange, red, and yellow lights will be off.
4. Status lights will be off when in test mode.
5. Flashes alternately with the fault LED.
Hot Water Pump Control
Controls for high water temperature and low
compressor discharge line temperature prevent the
hot water (desuperheater) pump from operating
when the leaving water temperature is above 130°F,
or when the compressor discharge line is too cool to
provide adequate water heating.
Lockout Board Jumper Selection
The lockout board includes three jumpers for eld
selection of various board features.
Water Solenoid Valve Delay (WSD): When the WSD
jumper is installed, the “A” terminal is energized 10
seconds before the compressor is energized. When
the jumper is removed, the “A” terminal is energized
with the compressor. If using a water solenoid valve
without an end switch, connect to terminal “A”. If
using a water solenoid valve with an end switch,
connect to terminals YT and YU(remove the jumper
wire).
Refer to wiring diagram. Enertech recommends the
use of a slow acting valve to reduce the chance of
water hammer.
Test Mode (TEST): When the TEST jumper is installed,
the board operates in the normal mode.

FunctionNormal OperationFault Retry
Condensate
Overow

When the jumper is removed, the board operates
in test mode, which speeds up all delays for easier
troubleshooting. When service is complete, the
jumper must be re-installed in order to make sure
that the unit operates with normal sequencing
delays. While the test jumper is removed, the status
light (bottom green) will remain off.
Over/Under Voltage Disable (O/V): When the
O/V jumper is installed, the over/under voltage
feature is active. When the jumper is removed, the
over/under voltage feature is disabled. On rare
occasions, variations in voltage will be outside the
range of the over/under voltage feature, which may
require removal of the jumper. However, removal
of the jumper could cause the unit to run under
adverse conditions, and therefore should not be
removed without contacting technical services.
An over/under voltage condition could cause
premature component failure or damage to the
unit controls. Any condition that would cause this
fault must be thoroughly investigated before taking
any action regarding the jumper removal. Likely
causes of an over/under voltage condition include
power company transformer selection, insufcient
entrance wire sizing, defective breaker panel,
incorrect transformer tap (unit control box), or other
power-related issues.

which lowers the CFM through the evaporator
coil, improving latent capacity. In ODD mode, a
humidistat or a thermostat with a dehumidication
output (output must be reverse logic -- i.e. it must
operate like a humidistat) is connected to the
ODD terminal. When the module receives a call
for dehumidication, the fan runs at 85% of the
current stage CFM in the cooling mode. Otherwise,
the airow is at the normal CFM level. The signal is
ignored in the heating mode.
Fan Only
When the ECM control module receives a “G”
call without a call for heating or cooling, the fan
operates at a lower CFM level (based on DIP switch
settings).

Equipment Start-Up
1. Energize geothermal unit with
high voltage.
2. Set the thermostat to “Heat” or
“Cool.” Adjust set point to
energize the unit. System will
energize after delays expire
(typically a five minute delay).
3. Check water flow with a flow
meter (non-pressurized) or
pressure drop conversion
(pressurized). Pressure drop
tables must be used to convert
the pressure drop to GPM. The
pressure drop can be obtained by
checking water pressure in and
water pressure out at the P/T
ports.
4. Check the geothermal unit’s
electrical readings listed in the
Unit Electrical Data table.
5. Check the source water
temperature in and out at the P/T
ports (use insertion probe). Allow
10 minutes of operation before
recording temperature drop.
6. Calculate the heat of extraction or
heat of rejection.
7. Check the temperature difference
of the load coax (water-to-water)
or air coil (water-to-air). P/T ports
are recommended for use on the
load side, but the line
temperatures can be used to
check the temperature difference.
8. Change the mode of the
thermostat and adjust the set
point to energize the unit. Check
the data in opposite mode as the
previous tests. Amp draws as
well as temperature differences
and flow rate should be recorded.
9. Check auxiliary heat operation by
adjusting the thermostat set point
5°F above the room temperature
in “Heat” mode or set thermostat
to “Emergency." Record voltage,
amperage, and air temperature
difference.

1. Determine ow rate in gallons per minute
a. Check entering water temperature
b. Check entering water pressure
c. Check leaving water pressure
Once this information is recorded, nd
corresponding entering water temperature column
in Specication Manual for unit.
Find pressure differential in PSI column in Spec
Manual. Then read the GPM column in Spec Manual
to determine ow in GPM.
2. Check leaving water temperature of unit.
FORMULA: GPM x water temp diff, x 500 (antifreeze)
or 500 (fresh water) = HE or HR in BTU/HR
A 10% variance from Spec Manual is allowed.
Always use the same pressure gauge & temperature
measuring device.
Water ow must be in range of Specication
Manual. If system has too much water ow,
performance problems should be expected.

If water ow is low (less than 3.5 GPM), unit will not start. Make sure Pump Module or solenoid valve is
connected (see wiring diagram). Water has to ow through the heat exchanger in the right direction (see
labels at water tting connections) before the compressor can start. If water ow is at normal ow, use an
ohmmeter to check if you get continuity at the ow switch. If no switch is open and ow is a normal ow,
remove switch and check for stuck particles or bad switch.
If heat pump is out on high or low-pressure cutout (lockout), check for faulty switches by jumping the
high and low-pressure switches individually. If defective replace. Check airow, lters, water ow, loss of
refrigerant and ambient temperature. WARNING: Only allow compressor to run for a couple of seconds

A
When any compressor bearing unit is connected to
a weak power supply, starting current will generate
a signicant “sag” in the voltage which reduces
the starting torque of the compressor motor and
increases the start time. This will inuence the rest of
the electrical system in the building by lowering the
voltage to the lights. This momentary low voltage
causes “light dimming”. The total electrical system
should be evaluated with an electrician and
HVAC technician. The evaluation should include
all connections, sizes of wires, and size of the
distribution panel between the unit and the utility’s
connection. The transformer connection and sizing
should be evaluated by the electric utility provider.
