HIGH VOLT ELECTRICAL WIRING
(SEE THE APPROPRIATE AIR HANDLER SECTION FOR
SPECIFIC WIRING INFORMATION.)
All wiring should be in accordance with the National Electric
Code (NEC) and the local building codes.
1. Inspect the existing wiring for any deficiencies
such as cut or frayed wires. Replace such wiring
if found.
2. Check the unit rating plate for circuit ampacity and
breaker or fuse size. Use only HACR type break
-
ers. Select the proper wire for the ampacity rating.
3. Each unit must have a separate branch circuit protected by a fuse or breaker. Refer to the unit rating
plate for the proper wire and breaker or fuse size.
4. Connect the power wire to Black (L1) and the other
wire to Red/White (L2) at the power connector loca
tion. Connect the ground wire to the ground lug or
lead at the same location in the control box.
NOTE: On units rated 208/230V, the primary side of
the transformer is factory wired for 230V. For a 208V
power supply, the transformer tap must be changed
from orange to red. Refer to the wiring diagram located
on the unit.
IMPORTANT: When wiring the WHP 18–36 only: If
the job site voltage is 208V, the WHP high-low fan
speed switch must be rewired. Replace the black
and red fan motor wire connections with the blue
and orange fan motor wires respectively.
LOW VOLT INTERCONNECT WIRING FOR UNIT MOUNTED CONTROLS
As of 12/01/04, the 24V control transformer is located in
the air handler unit. This provides low volt control power
to both the air handler and condenser. Depending on the
models selected, the low Volt interconnect control wiring
may be effected.
Note: All low volt interconnect wiring must be at
least 18 awg.
COOLING ONLY UNITS
With or Without Heat
Cooling only units utilize two low Volt interconnecting wires
between the indoor and outdoor units. Wires (WCP/WHP)
or terminals (CCP/CHP/FCP/FHP) designated “Y” (yellow)
and “C” (brown) of the air handler should be connected to
the corresponding “Y” (yellow) and “C” (brown) wires or
terminals of the condenser. Other wires or terminals such
as “R” (red) or “O” (orange) may not be needed and should
be protected by a wire nut from making contact with the
junction box or other metal surfaces.
Refer to low
Figure 1 for unit mounted controls.
Volt interconnect diagram interconnect diagram
Figure 1
In addition to the “Y” and “C” connections required for
cooling, heat pumps require a reversing valve control wire
“O” (orange) that is energized in the cooling mode. If the
indoor unit has an electric heater then a ”W” (white) wire
connection may also be needed to energize the indoor
electric heat. Heat pumps models SHC require an “R”
connection between the indoor and outdoor unit to provide
power to the defrost control board in the condenser.
Heat pump models MH2 and MH4 do not require an “R”
connection after 12/01/04 since the transformer is located
in the air handler.
Note: Two-stage heating requires the combination of a
heat pump condenser and an indoor unit that is equipped
with an electric strip heater. The indoor electric heater
will energize as the second stage heat source, when the
room temperature falls by two degrees or more below the
set point, and also during the defrost mode for models
SHC. For limited range heat pumps models MH2 and
MH4, heat pump operation will cease when the outdoor
temperature falls below 35°F. In this case the electric
strip heater will remain sole heat source.
Refer to low Volt interconnect diagram interconnect diagram
Figure 1 for unit mounted controls.
HEAT PUMP CONNECTION - UNIT MOUNT
CONTROLS Two-Stage Heating
When connecting to a defrosting heat pump, such as
EMI model SHC, indoor units with electric heat utilize five
interconnecting low
outdoor units. When connecting to limited range heat pumps
such as EMI models MH2 and MH4 built after 12/01/04,
indoor units with electric heat utilize four interconnecting
low Volt wires. In this case the “R” (red) may not be needed
and should be protected by a wire nut from making contact
with the junction box or other metal surfaces.

REMOTE THERMOSTAT CONTROLS
As of 12/01/04, the 24V control transformer is located in
the air handler unit. This provides low volt control power
to both the air handler and condenser. Depending on the
models selected, the interconnect control wiring may be
effected.
Note: All low Volt interconnect wiring must be at
least 18 awg.

COOLING ONLY UNITS
With or Without Heat
Depending on the thermostat required or selected,
cooling only air handles may utilize four to six low Volt
interconnecting wires between the indoor unit, thermostat
and outdoor unit. Some thermostats do not require the use
of the “C” (brown) connection. In this case, ensure that
any unused wires are insulated with a wire nut to prevent
them from making contact with the junction box or other
metal surfaces.
If the indoor unit has electric heat or hydronic heat then
a “W” connection is required between the thermostat and
indoor unit.
Refer to low Volt interconnect diagram interconnect diagram

HEAT PUMP CONNECTION - REMOTE THERMOSTAT
Two-stage Heating
Since heat pump mode is a function of the thermostat and
outdoor unit, connections between the indoor unit and
thermostat are the same as for cooling only applications.
Depending on the thermostat required or selected, the air
handler may utilize four to six low
wires between the indoor unit, thermostat and outdoor
unit. Some thermostats do not require the use of the “C”
(brown) connection.
Heat pump operation requires the connection of the “O”
(orange) terminal from the outdoor unit to the thermostat.
The reversing valve is energized in the cooling mode for
EMI models SHC heat pump condensers. If the indoor unit
has an electric heater then a “W” connection is also required
between the condenser and the indoor unit. For two-stage
heating, a “W” (sometimes called “W2”) connection is also
requires at the thermostat. Refer to the instructions provided
with the thermostat for the proper thermostat connections
for a two stage heat, single stage cooling system.
Ensure that any unused wires are insulated with a wire
nut to prevent contact with the junction box or other metal
surfaces.

NOTE: Two-stage heating requires the combination
of a heat pump condenser and an indoor unit that
is equipped with an electric strip heater. The indoor
electric heater will energize as the second stage
heat source (the temperature is dependent on the
thermostat selected) and also during the defrost mode
for models SHC. For limited range heat pumps models

The EMI CHP is a highly effective ceiling mounted evaporator
for applications where fully exposed or partially recessed cabinetry
can be used. For partially recessed mounting, these units easily
adapt to standard T-bar, drop-ceiling openings. The CCP/CHP is
designed for residential and commercial applications where the
unit may be concealed in soffits or other structural spaces with
only the intake and discharge grilles exposed. When concealing
the unit make provisions to the soffit for future access to the unit
for maintenance purposes. When offering the Infraoption, due to the fact that the infra-red receiver is located on
the unit, the CHP model cannot be mounted in a soffit or another
structural space.
The aluminum supply air louvers are dual adjustable for air
flow direction, to provide air flow throws to suit any installation.
The louvers are mounted in a high impact polystyrene front sec
tion. The CHP incorporates dual blowers that produce efficient,
quiet operation, suitable for both residential and commercial
applications. A wide range of options are available for the CHP
units, including supplemental electric or hydronic heat options,
a factory or field installed condensate pump, and optional digital
and hand held IR remote controls.
The CHP models are fast and easy to install with 24V control
circuits to the outside unit, standard. Hanger brackets and fresh
air openings are standard on all models. Optional trim kits are
available for surface mounting applications.
NOTE: If equipped with hydronic heat, the CHP will
only operate as a single-stage heating unit and not as
a two-stage heating unit.

ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
• Check equipment for damage prior to installation. A
foam block has been placed under the blower wheel
to prevent shipping damage. Be sure to remove
the foam block before starting the unit.
• WHP’s Only (Not WCP’s) Depending on condenser
capacity rating in Btuh, the factory installed piston
orifice expansion device may need to be changed
out with the one in the kit bag supplied with the WHP
unit (instructions are included).
• Determine the best location for mounting the unit
and room air circulation. Locate outdoor and indoor
units as close together as possible.
• Determine how refrigerant and power line may be
run to and from unit.
• Determine if the cabinet front can be removed without obstruction.
• Ensure that the WHP interconnect tubing is within
a maximum allowable length of 100’ including, a
maximum 35’ lift.
• EMI’s WHP evaporator requires 24V power for
control operation. (As of 12/01/04 a transformer is
supplied in the indoor unit).
MOUNTING PREPARATION
The WHP/WCP must be mounted plumb and level to
a vertically square surface to prevent unit vibration and/or
unwanted noise. It is recommended that the WHP be
mounted directly to a smooth surface or sheetrock wallboard or similar material. If mounting to a block wall, there
should be a smooth square backing between the unit and
the block surface to absorb any potential vibration.
NOTE: If excessive noise or vibration is experienced from a unit mounted directly to a block wall,
the squareness of the wall should be checked
immediately.
UNIT MOUNTING
1. After determining the best location for the unit, use the
cardboard template provided in the packaging.
2. Mark the spot where the piping should penetrate the
wall.
3. Determine the appropriate hole size and cut through
the wall.
NOTE: Piping may be roughed in before wallboard
or panels are placed in new construction. PVC pipe
(3” or 4” I.D.) may be used as a pipe chase.
4. Use the supplied wall bracket. Secure the bracket to
the wall with the appropriate screws (for wood) or anchors
(for masonry).
5. Mount the unit to the bracket and make certain it fits
properly.
NOTE: The wall hanging bracket slot is NOT located
in the center of the unit.
NOTE: Panels should remain on the unit at all
times. Service should be performed by a QUALI
FIED service agency. An annual system check by
a qualified service technician is recommended.

UNIT MOUNT INFRARED CONTROL OPERATION
EMI Air Handlers are equipped with a unit mount,
infrared compatible control package (optional on the
CCP/CHP). This user friendly, microprocessor control is
designed to optimize system performance and protect
the refrigeration system from unwanted short cycling
and evaporator freeze-ups. Operation of the unit can be
made by either the keypad on the unit or by using
the optional hand held infrared controller.
There are two dipswitches on the relay board that of
fer different modes of operation. This allows the unit
to be matched with either a cooling only or heat pump
condenser. Dipswitches are factory set for a cooling
only condenser. If the indoor unit is matched with an
EMI single zone or multi-zone heat pump condenser,
the dipswitches will need to be changed.
The unit will start in time delay. These are the default
settings of the unit mount I/R control microprocessor. Once
temperature and mode selections have been made, they
will be stored in the microprocessor memory when the unit
is switched off. The next time the unit is switched back on
via the On/Off switch, the stored settings will be used and
the unit will resume operation.
Refer to the specific model of Air Handler for
more detailed installation instructions. (Pages

START-UP FOR UNIT MOUNTED INFRARED COMPATIBLE CONTROL (Only)
ON/OFF SWITCH
The On/Off switch is used to turn the equipment on or
off. In the off mode the display will be blank and all LED
indicator lights will be dark. To turn on the unit press the
On/off button once. Room temperature will be displayed
and amber LED indicators will show fan speed and mode
selections (Figure 5).
MODE SWITCH
(System Switch)
The Mode button will allow the selection of the desired
mode of operation. Colored LED indicators will light next
to the selected mode. With each successive press of the
Mode button, selection will rotate between Heat, Cool,
Fan or Dry mode. If the dipswitches are set for cooling
only (off
– off) then Heat and Dry will not be accessible
(Figure 5).
FAN OPERATION
The indoor unit utilizes a two-speed motor with three
operational fan modes. The Fan button will allow the selec-
tion of the desired fan setting. An amber LED indicator will
light next to the fan speed selection. If Auto fan mode is
selected then an LED indicator will also light next to Auto.High and Low are constant fan settings. The fan will
operate continuous regardless of set point or room temperatures. Auto mode is a cycling fan setting.
Auto fan mode can only be selected if the unit is in
Heat or Cool mode. In Auto mode the fan will cycle with
the call for Heat or Cool. Fan speed will be determined by
the microprocessor and speed adjustment will be made
according to room and setpoint temperatures. The fan will
switch to High speed when room temperature deviates by

to low speed if the deviation is one degree. When the room
temperature reaches setpoint temperature the heat/cool call
will then be dropped. The fan will stay on for an additional
60 sec. to purge unit of any residual energy. After the fan
has been off for ten minutes, the fan will cycle on for 60
seconds. This is done so the microprocessor can sample
the room air and also helps eliminate room temperature
stratification.

COOLING ONLY OPERATION
For cooling operation first turn the unit on via the On/off
button. Select Cool mode via the Mode button. The room
temperature will be displayed. Then, by depressing either
the Up or Down arrow once, the setpoint temperature will
appear. The setpoint temperature can then be changed with
each successive press of the Up or Down arrow buttons
or by holding the button in. Place the setpoint temperature
below the room temperature. The compressor will start and
cooling will continue for a minimum of two minutes and as
long as the setpoint remains below room temperature. (On
initial startup or if power is lost, there is a three-minute delay
between compressor re-starts.)
Once the room temperature is satisfied and the twominute minimum run time has elapsed the compressor will
cycle off. The fan will operate as described in “Fan Operation” (Figure 5).
NOTE: Once the compressor is switched off there
is a three-minute delay before it will re-start.

Important: The dip switch 1=OFF/Open
The dip switch 2=ON/2
For heat pump operation with backup electric heat, first
turn the unit on via the On/off button. Select Heat mode via
the Mode button. The room temperature will be displayed.
Then, by depressing either the Up or Down arrow once, the
setpoint temperature will appear. The setpoint temperature
can then be changed with each successive press of the Up
or Down arrow or by holding the button in.
Place the setpoint temperature one-degree above the
room temperature. The compressor will start and heating
will continue for a minimum of two minutes and as long as
the setpoint remains above room temperature. Once the
room temperature is satisfied and the two-minute minimum
run time has elapsed, the compressor will cycle off.
(*) On initial startup (or if power is lost) there is a three-
minute delay between compressor re-starts.
(**) Some EMI Heat pump condensers are equipped
with a low temperature cutout that will shut down the con
denser and energize the indoor heat. This is designed to
protect the compressor under certain outdoor conditions.
(***) Some EMI Heat pump condensers energize the
indoor unit electric heat during defrost.
Next, place the setpoint temperature at least two
degrees above room temperature. The electric heat will
energize along with the compressor (heatpump) thus twostage heating. The electric heat will continue to run until the
deviation between room temperature and setpoint tempera
ture is less than two degrees. At that time the electric heat
will switch off and the heatpump will take over the heating
demand. Once the room temperature is satisfied and the
two-minute minimum run time has elapsed, the compressor
Made in Rome, New York, USA
(2-Stage Heating)
will cycle off. There is then a three-minute delay before the
compressor can restart. The fan will operate as described
in “Fan Operation” (Figure 5).
DRY MODE OPERATION
Dry mode will remove humidity from the air while
maintaining a specific setpoint temperature. This is done
by energizing the compressor in cooling along with the electric or hydronic heater. Dry mode will not maintain a specific
humidity level. The unit must be equipped with an optional
electric heat element or hydronic coil.
For Dry Mode operation first turn the unit on via the On/off button. Select Dry mode via the Mode button. The room
temperature will be displayed. Then by depressing either the
Up or Down arrow once, the setpoint temperature will appear.
The setpoint temperature can then be changed with each
successive press of the Up or Down arrow or by holding the
button in.
Place the setpoint temperature at a desired room temperature. Depending on the difference between room temperature
and set point temperature the compressor and/or heat source
will energize. If the room temperature and setpoint temperature
are the same the compressor will operate in cooling and the
electric heat source will also energize.
Should the room temperature fall below the setpoint
temperature by two degrees, the compressor will stop and
heating will continue to boost the room temperature back up
to stepoint temperature. If the room temperature rises above
the setpoint temperature by two degrees, heating will stop and
cooling will continue to bring the room temperature back down
to stepoint temperature. The fan will operate continuously at
low speed while in Dry Mode.
In order to prevent short cycling the minimum on time for
both cooling and heating is two minutes. The minimum off
time is 3 minutes (Figure 5).
UNITS WITH CONDENSATE PUMPS
EMI Air Handlers are available with an optional con-
densate pump. Condensate pumps are recommended
-
when it is not possible to gravity drain the condensation
from the indoor unit. Depending on the pump manufacture
the maximum lift for the pump will vary. Consult the pump
instructions for the maximum lift for the particular pump
being used or refer to specific pump kit information and
instructions as supplied by EMI.
Condensation generated by the evaporator will col-
lect in the pumps’ reservoir. When the water level is high
enough, a float switch will close and energize the pump
motor clearing the water from the reservoir. Should for
any reason the water exceed the maximum preset level,
a safety switch will open, there by interrupting the (Y) signal to the condenser. This will prevent the evaporator from
generating more condensation and spilling out of the unit.

CHOOSING A THERMOSTAT
EMI offers several remote thermostats that are compatible with the Ductless split system air handlers. See the
latest price list for a list of available thermostats. It is important to choose a thermostat that will match the equipment
that you have selected. For single stage cooling or heating
choose a single stage Heat/Cool thermostat. If you have
selected an outdoor heat pump unit and an indoor unit with
electric heat then chose a two-stage heating, single-stage
cooling thermostat.
FAN OPERATION
Some thermostats are equipped with an auto/on fan
switch. When this switch is placed in the on position the
indoor fan will run continuous. When the switch is in the
auto position the indoor fan will cycle with the call for heating or cooling.
FAN PURGE
The indoor unit is equipped an electronic circuit board
with a purge feature. After the room thermostat has been
satisfied, the purge feature allows the indoor fan to remain
on for an additional 60 seconds. This increases efficiency
by pulling the remaining energy from the unit.
COOLING OPERATION
The electronic circuit board of the indoor unit also has
an anti-short cycle timer (ASCT) feature designed to protect
the compressor from short cycling. The ASCT is activated
immediately following the off cycle of the outdoor unit. Once
the room temperature is satisfied and the outdoor unit
switches off, the ASCT will not allow the outdoor to restart
unit a three-minute time period has elapsed.

After connecting the thermostat to the unit place the
system switch in cool mode. Adjust the set-point temperature below the room temperature. The compressor
and fan motors will start and cooling will begin. For chilled
water systems, the coldwater valve will open allowing the
flow of water. Place the set-point temperature above the
room temperature. The outdoor condenser will stop (or CW
valve will close) while the indoor fan will remain on for an
additional sixty seconds.
ELECTRIC HEAT OPERATION
Place the thermostat system switch in heat mode
Adjust the set-point temperature above the room temperature. The electric heat will energize along with the indoor
fan motor. Heating will continue so long as the set-point
remains above room temperature. Next place the set-point
temperature below room temperature. The electric heater
will switch off and the indoor fan will remain on for an additional sixty seconds.
HYDRONIC HEAT OPERATION
(Optional On CHP And FHP Units)
An optional hydronic heat package may be selected
in lieu of electric heat. Heating operation is essentially the
same as that of units with electric heat. With the thermostat
system switch set to heat and the set-point temperature
above room temperature, the hydronic valve will open allowing water to flow through the coil. The indoor fan will
also switch on and warm air will flow from the unit. Heating
will continue so long as the set-point remains above room
temperature. Place the set-point temperature below room
temperature. The hydronic valve will close and indoor
fan will switch off after the sixty-second purge time has
elapsed.
Units with an optional hydronic heat coil or chilled water
coil are also equipped with a freeze protection thermostat.
The freeze protection thermostat is designed to protect
the hydronic coil or chilled water coil from freeze up due
to abnormally cold fresh air from the fresh air system or
from abnormally cold air from the evaporator coil. Should
the freeze sensor activate, the indoor fan will switch off to
eliminate the source of cold fresh air, and also the outdoor
condensing unit will be switched off eliminating cold air
from the refrigeration system. For units with a hydronic hot
water valve installed, the valve will be energized allowing
warm water to flow and assist in the defrost process. The
system will remain in this state until the freeze condition is
satisfied where-by the freeze thermostat will reset.
HEAT PUMP

each other via a 24V interconnect wiring. As of 12/01/04, a
When trouble shooting any EMI product, it is important
to first check the rating plate for proper field voltage and
breaker size. Secondly using a voltmeter check the incoming
power supply to see that it agrees with the rating plate. The
incoming power should not exceed the nameplate voltage.
Also, the incoming power should not be below the minimum
voltage stated on the rating plate (197V for units rated
208/230V and 104V for units rated 115V).
A check for low voltage power should also be made. By
placing a voltmeter across low
at the indoor unit, there should be a reading of 24V.
TEST MODE
Test mode is available only on units with unit mounted
controls. Use of the test mode feature can aid in the
functional check of the unit. It can also be a helpful tool
when trouble shooting to help isolate a problem source.
Volt terminals “R” and “C”
CAUTION
!
While in test mode, all timers are eliminated. Avoid
short cycling the compressor. After system checks
are complete, the control must be returned to normal
operation. DO NOT LEAVE THE SYSTEM IN TEST
MODE!
To enter test mode the unit must first be in the off state.
Next, using the unit mounted keypad depress both the
up and down arrow buttons simultaneously and push the
On/Off button in for one second. The unit is now in test
mode. System function checks can now be made without
having to wait for timer delays. To return to normal operation,
switch the unit off again via the On/Off button for at least
30 seconds. When the system is switched back on, normal
operation will resume.
LOW VOLT CONTROLS
COOLING ONLY UNITS
Cooling only units utilize low Volt interconnecting
wires between the indoor unit, outd oor units and
thermostat. For air handlers with unit mounted controls,
wires (WCP/WHP) or terminals (CCP/CHP/FCP/FHP)
designated “Y” (yellow) and “C” (brown) of the indoor air
handler should be connected to the corresponding “Y”
(yellow) and “C” (brown) wires or terminals of the outdoor
condenser. Other wires or terminals such as “R”(red) or
“O” (orange) may not be needed and should be protect
by a wire nut from making contact with the junction box or
other metal surfaces.
Refer to low volt interconnect diagram interconnect diagram
Figure 1 for unit mounted controls and Figure 2 for remote
thermostat connection.
A 24V transformer located in the indoor air handler unit
(as of 12/01/04) provides low Volt control power to both the
indoor air handler and outdoor condenser. The 24V power
supply can be measured by placing a meter across the “R”
and “C” low Volt terminals of the air handler. The air handler
will switch on and off the condenser through the yellow (Y)
wire. When the air handler is calling for cooling, 24V can be
measured between terminals (wires) Y and C.
ELECTRIC HEAT
Units with electric heat utilize a control relay located on the
circuit board in the control box. As a safety feature, an auto
resetting limit switch located on the heater end plate or on
the heater assembly will interrupt power to the heater should
an over-heat condition occur. Each electric heat assembly

is also equipped with a one time fuse link. Should electric
heat temperatures rise above the auto resetting limit switch,
a non-resetting, one time fuse link will open and the heater
will remain off.
The following current values apply when the unit is connected
to a 230V power supply. These values include fan motor
current. If the supply power is different, this will in turn affect
the amp draw of the heater.
5kw = 22.3 amps, 4kw = 18 amps, 3kw = 13.5 amps.
Optional Heat pump with Electric Heat
Heat pump units with electric heat utilize four to six
interconnecting, low Volt wires depending control setup
and/or thermostat selected. Refer to the low Volt interconnect
section and figures 1, 2 and 3 for your particular unit. As
of 12/01/04, a 24V transformer located in the indoor
air handler provides low Volt control power to both the air
handler and condenser. With high Volt power supplied to the
condenser, 24V can be measured across the red (R) and
brown (C) wires at all times.
Cooling:
The air handler will cycle the condenser on and off through
the yellow (Y) wire. To check for a condenser signal, select
cooling mode on the indoor unit or thermostat and place
the set-point temperature below room temperature. Then,
with a voltmeter check for 24 Volts across the yellow (Y)
and brown (C) wires. If no signal is found then re-check
all wiring connections to ensure that they match the low
volt interconnect diagram. Check the output of the 24V
transformer (located in the air handler as of 12/01/04) to
ensure that the control voltage is present.
EMI heat pump systems utilize a reversing valve is that is
energized in the cooling mode. The reversing-valve signal
is provided through the orange (O) low
handler or thermostat. It should remain energized constantly
as long as the indoor unit or thermostat remains in cooling
mode. To check for 24V reversing valve voltage, at the
outdoor unit, place a voltmeter across the brown (C) and
orange (O) wires while in the cooling mode.
Heating:
Heat pump units can accommodate two-stage heating when
an optional electric strip heater is present along with a heat
pump condenser. The first stage being the compressor and
the second is electric heat. The air handler or wall thermostat
will cycle the condenser through the yellow (Y) wire as it does
in cooling however the reversing valve will not be energized.
To check for a condenser signal, place the indoor unit or wall
thermostat in heating. Next
one degree above room temperature to call the first stage
place the set-point temperature
Volt wire of the air
of heating. Then, with a voltmeter check for 24 Volts across
the yellow (Y) and brown (C) wires at the condenser. The
electric heat should be off at this point. Select a set-point
temperature that is more than two degrees above the
room temperature to call for the second stage of heating.
The electric heat should energize along with the 24V
compressor signal between “Y” and “C”. Check to see that
the amp draw corresponds with the electric heat rating.
The following current values apply when the unit is
connected to a 230V power supply. These values include
indoor fan motor current. If the supply power is different,
this will affect the amp draw of the heater.
5kw = 22.3 amps, 4kw = 18 amps, 3kw = 13.5 amps.
Units with electric heat utilize a control relay located on the
circuit board in the control box. As a safety feature, an auto
resetting limit switch located on the heater end plate or on
the heater assembly will interrupt power to the heater should
an over-heat condition occur. Each electric heat assembly
is also equipped with a one time fuse link. Should electric
heat temperatures rise above the auto resetting limit switch,
a non-resetting, one time fuse link will open and the heater
will remain off.
Units With Condensation Pumps
EMI Air Handlers are available with an optional condensate
pump. Condensate pumps are recommended when it is not
possible to gravity drain the condensation from the indoor
unit. Depending on the pump manufacture the maximum
lift for the pump will vary. Consult the pump instructions for
the maximum lift for the particular pump being used.
Condensation generated by the evaporator will collect in the
pumps’ reservoir. When the water level is high enough, a
float switch will close and energize the pump motor clearing
the water from the reservoir. Should for any reason the
water exceed the maximum preset level, a safety switch will
open, there by interrupting the (Y) signal to the condenser.
This will prevent the evaporator from generating more
condensation and spilling out of the unit.
Error Codes
Should for some reason one of the two temperature
sensors become disconnected or fail, an error code
will appear in the display. The control will not operate
properly until the sensor is working.
E1 – Coil Sensor malfunction or disconnected. Check location J1 on thermostat board.
E2 – Room Air Sensor malfunction or disconnected. Check location J2 on thermostat board.
Q: The system has just been installed using an EMI indoor
unit and a non-EMI condenser. There is no display and
the unit will not operate.
A: As of 12/01/04 EMI air handlers will be manufactured
with a low
time, EMI outdoor condensers will be manufactures
without a low Volt transformer. When connecting
an EMI evaporator to a non-EMI condenser, check to
ensure that there is a 24V control transformer in either
in the indoor unit or outdoor unit. Only one transformer is
required. If a transformer is not present then one should
be added to the indoor unit. If both the indoor unit and
outdoor unit contain a transformer, one must be removed
from the system.
Q: The condenser will not start although the indoor unit
appears normal. What should I do?
A: At the indoor unit, make sure that the control is in cooling
and the setpoint temperature is below room temperature.
Next, using a volt meter, check for 24
(Y) and brown (C) wires. If 24V is present then check
for wiring breaks or improper connections between the
indoor and outdoor units.
A: Some EMI condensers are equipped with a manual reset
high-pressure switch. It is located on the high side of the
system usually on the discharge line of the compressor.
To reset, simply push the red button in. If the switch was
tripped there will be a “click” when it resets.
A: If the unit is equipped with a condensate pump check to
see if the safety float has been tripped. This can be done
by first disconnecting both ends of the float switch. Then
with an Ohmmeter, check for continuity across the switch.
If the switch is open then the pump is not clearing or the
switch may be bad.
Q: The display on the indoor unit is blank. What should I do?
A: Check the power supply (see “Power supply check”
Section). If the unit still fails to turn on via the On/off
button then inspect the control box for any apparent wires
that may have come loose during shipping. Also inspect
the circuit boards for burnt components. If no obvious
problem can be found then replace all circuit boards
including the unit keypad. Do not attempt to trouble shoot
the individual circuit boards.
Q: The display tends to flicker at times. Is this normal?
A: A small amount of flickering of the display is normal.
Depending on the room lighting, flickering may be more
noticeable at some times than others.

V across the yellow
Q: How long will the fan run?
A: While the unit is in cooling or heating and auto fan
mode is selected, Fan speed will be determined by the
microprocessor and speed adjustment will be made
according to room and setpoint temperatures. The
fan will switch to High speed when room temperature
deviates by more than two degrees from setpoint. The
fan will switch to Low speed if the deviation is one
degree. When the room temperature reaches setpoint
temperature the heat/cool call is dropped. The fan will
then stay on for an additional 60 sec. to purge unit of any
residual energy. If High or Low is selected then the fan
will operate continuous regardless of set point or room
temperatures.
Q: What causes my indoor unit to freeze-up?
A: Evaporator freeze up is usually the symptom of another
problem. Units with infrared compatible, unit mounted
controls are equipped with freeze protection to prevent
freeze up from occurring. If freeze up does occur then
check the following.
• Check that the freeze sensor located in the lowest
part of the coil. Generally this is where freeze up
will begin.
• Check that the freeze sensor inserted fully and snug
in the coil fin. If not another location may need to be
selected. Be careful not to insert the sensor directly
into the coil tube rather insert the sensor between two
tubes.
• Check the indoor air filter. It should be clean and free
of dirt. A dirty filter will reduce airflow and efficiency.
Also check that the coil is clean. If the coil is dirty then
it should be cleaned using an appropriate coil cleaner
or mild detergent.
• Is the equipment being operated in cooling mode
when outdoor temperatures are below 65°F? If it is,
then the condenser should be fitted with low ambient
control so that the proper system pressures are
maintained.
• Does the system have the proper refrigerant charge?
A system low on refrigerant can cause evaporator
freeze-up. To check system charge you will need to
contact a qualified refrigeration service technician.
Refrigerant charge information can be found in IOM
for the outdoor condensing unit.
