Installing and servicing heating and air conditioning equipment can be hazardous due to system pressure and electri-
cal components. Only trained and qualied service personnel should install, repair or service heating and air conditioning
equipment. Untrained personnel can perform the basic maintenance functions of cleaning coils and cleaning and replacing
lters. All other operations should be performed by trained service personnel. When working on heating and air conditioning
equipment, observe precautions in the literature, tags and labels attached to the unit and other safety precautions that may
apply, such as the following safety measures:
Follow all safety codes.•
Wear safety glasses and work gloves.•
Use a quenching cloth for brazing operations.•
Have a re extinguisher available for all brazing operations.•
Moving and Storage
Move units in the normal “up” orientation. Units may be moved and stored per the information on the packaging. Do not
stack more than three units in total height. Do not attempt to move units while stacked. When the equipment is received, all
items should be carefully checked against the bill of lading to be sure all crates and cartons have been received. Examine
units for shipping damage, removing the units from the packaging if necessary. Units in question should also be internally
inspected. If any damage is noted, the carrier should make the proper notation on the delivery receipt, acknowledging the
damage.
Split Unit Location
Locate the split compressor section away from areas that may disturb the customer and in a way that allows easy re-
moval of the access panels and the top of the cabinet. Provide sufcient room to make water, electrical and refrigerant line
connections and allow space for service personnel to perform maintenance. The NS split is approved for outdoor installation when properly installed.
Air Coil Location
Refer to the air handler manufacturer’s instructions for the blower coil unit for details on installing the air handling portion
of the system.
Condensate Drain
Follow the blower coil manufacturer’s instructions.
Duct System
All blower coil units/air coils must be installed as specied by the manufacturer’s installation instructions; however, the
following recommendations should considered to minimize noise and service problems.
An air lter must always be installed upstream of the air coil on the return air side of the air handler or furnace. If there
is limited access to the lter rack for normal maintenance, it is suggested that a return air lter grill be installed. Be sure that
the return duct is properly installed and free of leaks to prevent dirt and debris from bypassing the lter and plugging the air
coil.
In applications using galvanized metal ductwork, a exible duct connector is recommended on both the supply and
return air plenums to minimize vibration from the blower. To maximize sound attenuation of the unit blower, the supply and
return plenums should include an internal duct liner of 1-inch thick glass ber or be constructed of ductboard. Insulation is
usually not installed in the supply branch ducts. Ducts in unconditioned areas should be wrapped with a minimum of 1-inch
duct insulation. Application of the unit to uninsulated ductwork in an unconditioned space is not recommended as the unit’s
performance will be adversely affected. If the air handler is connected to existing ductwork, a previous check should have
3
NS SPLIT INSTALLATION MANUAL
General Installation Information (cont.)
been made to assure that the duct system has the capacity to handle the air required for the unit application. If ducting
is too small, as in replacement of heating only systems, larger ductwork should be installed. All existing ductwork should
be checked for leaks and repairs made accordingly. The duct systems and diffusers should be sized to handle the design
airow quietly. If air noise or excessive airow is a problem, the blower speed can be changed to a lower speed to reduce
airow. This will reduce the performance of the unit slightly in heating; however, it will increase the temperature rise across
the air coil. Airow must still meet minimum requirements.
Equipment Selection
The following guidelines should be used when mating an Envision Split to an air handler/coil.
Select R-410A components only.•
Match the air handler to the air handler coil data table.•
Indoor matching adjustable TXV is factory installed on every air handler/coil. Fixed orice or cap tube systems •
should not be used.
Utilizing Existing Coil or Air Handler
It is recommended that a new R-410A air handler be installed with an Envision Split considering the long term benets
of reliability, warranty, etc. versus the short term installation cost savings. However, the existing air handler may be retained
provided the following:
Coil currently is R-410A rated•
Coil uses a TXV. No capillary or xed orice systems should be used•
A life expectancy of more than 7 years remaining for the air handler and components•

Connection to Air Coil
Figures 1 and 2 illustrate typical Envision Split installations. The table on page 9 shows typical lineset diameters and
maximum length. Linesets over 60 feet are not recommended. If the lineset is kinked or deformed and cannot be reformed,
the bad section of pipe should be replaced. A restricted lineset will affect unit performance. As in all R-410A equipment, a
reversible liquid line lter drier is required to insure all moisture is removed from the system. This drier should be replaced
whenever “breaking into” the system for service. All linesets should be insulated with a minimum of 1/2” closed cell insulation. All exterior insulation should be painted with UV resistant paint or covering to insure long insulation life.
Air Handler Installation
Air handlers used with dual capacity units must be capable of operating with a minimum of 2 blower speeds. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for the blower coil unit for details on installing the air handling portion of the system. All blower
coil units/air coils must be installed as specied by the manufacturer’s installations instructions. However, the following rec-
ommendations should be considered to minimize noise and service problems.
An air lter must always be installed upstream of the air coil on the return air side of the air handler of furnace. If there is
limited access to the lter rack for normal maintenance, it is suggested that a return air lter grille be installed. Be sure that
the return duct is properly installed and free of leaks to prevent dirt and debris from bypassing the lter and plugging the air
coil.
Ensure that the line set size is appropriate to the capacity of the unit (refer to page 9). Line sets should be routed as di-
rectly as possible, avoiding unnecessary bends or turns. All wall penetrations should be sealed properly. Line set should not
come into direct contact with water pipes, oor joists, wall studs, duct work, oors, walls and brick. Line set should not be
suspended from joists or studs with a rigid wire or strap which comes into direct contact with the tubing. Wide hanger strips
which conform to the shape of the tubing are recommended. Isolate hanger straps from line set insulation by using metal
sleeves bent to conform to the shape of insulation. Line set insulation should be pliable, and should completely surround the
refrigerant line.
Notes: Improper installation of equipment may result in undesirable noise levels in the living areas.

Dual Fuel Systems
Envision units can be connected to fossil fuel furnaces that include an A-coil or slab coil. Dual fuel installations utilize the
Envision heat pump for heating until the point that auxiliary heat is called for on the thermostat. At that point, the furnace
will be enabled and the heat pump will be disabled. The Envision heat pump provides air conditioning through the furnace’s
refrigerant coils.
Refer to the furnace manufacturer’s installation manual for the furnace installation, wiring and coil insertion. A
WaterFurnace Dual Fuel thermostat, a eld-installed DPST relay or dual capacity auxiliary heat relay is required. See Figure
2 for typical Dual Fuel application.
In add-on Envision Split applications, the coil should be located in the supply side of the furnace to avoid condensation
damage to the furnace heat exchanger. A high temperature limit should be installed upstream of the coil to de-energize the
compressor whenever the furnace is operating. Without this switch, the Envision Split will trip out on high pressure. A dual
fuel thermostat can remove the Y1 and Y2 calls when a W call is energized to allow gas furnace backup on an Envision Split
application. Refer to thermostat wiring on page 13 for details.
Be sure the available power is the same voltage and phase as that shown on the unit serial plate. Line and low voltage
wiring must be done in accordance with local codes or the National Electric Code, whichever is applicable. See unit electrical data for fuse or cicuit breaker sizing information.

Water Piping
Residential NS split units are supplied standard with GeoLink swivel connections with P.T. ports.
The proper water ow must be provided to each unit whenever the unit operates. To assure proper ow, use pressure/
temperature ports to determine the ow rate. These ports should be located at the supply and return water connections on
the unit. The proper ow rate cannot be accurately set without measuring the water pressure drop through the refrigerantto-water heat exchanger.
Closed Loop - Earth coupled Systems (Outdoor Installations)
Locate unit on an air pad with access hole as shown below. When mounting on an existing concrete pad, holes must
be bored through to accommodate 1 1/4-inch P.E. pipe with 1/2-inch insulation.
Connecting To Earth Loop
The earth loop trench should be continued directly under the unit as shown in Figure 4. Make the connections to optional ttings from the loop circulator pump(s) and insure proper backll to support the loop pipe during trench settling. All 1
1/4-inch piping should be insulated with a minimum of 1/2-inch closed cell insulation from below the ground surface to the
Flow centers FC1-GL or FC2-GL, as needed, may be
internally mounted on the NDS splits, Two stub tubes with
barbs are pre connected to the coax. Two tubes with brass
ttings, to adapt to the ow center, 2 hoses to connect
between the two sets of tubes, and four hose clamps are included with each NDS unit. The brass adapter ttings have
plastic swivel connectors and are also internally threaded to
accept 1” NPT ttings.
NOTE: For ease of installation, attach provided hoses to
coax rst and then trim to t to elbows on ow center.

Service valves have been provided inside the unit for connecting the discharge gas line to a water heating heat recov-
ery unit (see gure 5). To make the connections, close the service valves inside the unit by turning clockwise. Using a
recovery canister connect to either of the schrader ports on the DSH service valves and recover the small amount of refrig-
erant trapped inside of the U-tube. PriortobrazingensurethatallrefrigeranthasbeenremovedfromU-tube. Once
the refrigerant is removed, it is recommended that the tube be cut at the “U” to remove any excess oil that may be trapped.
(This will also allow for easier removal of the tubing with a torch, since each section can be removed independently). Servicevalvesmustbeprotectedtopreventoverheating. Unbraze the 1/2-inch O.D. U-tube and run tubing from the left
hand service valve to the inlet of the heat recovery unit and from the outlet of the heat recovery unit to the right hand of the
service valve. Typically the one way discharge line length should be limited to 25-30 feet and line size must be increased
depending on unit size and length of run. Follow the instructions supplied with the heat recovery unit for mounting location,
water piping, and start up. A typical installation is shown below.

Note: At rst power up, a four-minute time delay is employed before the compressor is energized.
Heat,1stStage(Y1)
The compressor and loop pumps are energized 10 seconds after the Y1 input.
Heat,2ndStage(Y1,Y2)DualCapacityUnits
The second stage compressor will be activated 5 seconds after receiving a “Y2” input as long as the minimum rst stage
compressor run time of 1 minute has expired.
The Comfort Alert will delay the second stage compressor until 5 seconds after it receives “Y2” from the board.

Cool,2ndStage(Y1,Y2,O)DualCapacityUnits
The second stage compressor will be activated 5 seconds after receiving a “Y2” input as long as the minimum rst stage
compressor run time of 1 minute has expired.
The Comfort Alert will delay the second stage compressor until 5 seconds after it receives a “Y2” from the board.
Fan Only Operation
The Fan Only mode is controlled directly from the unit thermostat to the unit air handler. No input is given to the micro-
processor to operate the fan function.
Lockout Conditions
During lockout mode, the appropriate thermostat lockout LEDs (if available) will illuminate. The compressor and loop
pumps are de-energized and if the thermostat calls for third stage heating, emergency heat operation will occur.
Lockout modes of any kind can be reset at the thermostat after a 5-second waiting period, which restores normal
operation.
High Pressure
This lockout mode occurs immediately when the normally closed safety switch is momentarily opened.
Low Pressure
This lockout mode occurs when the normally closed switch is opened for 30 continuous seconds.
Freeze Sensing (Water Flow)
This lockout mode occurs when the freeze sensing thermistor temperature (located between the TXV and coax) is at or
below the selected freeze sensing point (well 30°F or loop 15°F) for 30 continuous seconds.
The unit also contains a secondary freeze sensing sensor located on the entering water line of the unit. If the loop
reaches a temperature of 20°F the secondary freeze sensing sensor will cycle the loop pumps "on" until the loop temperature rises to or above 25°F.

Refrigeration
The Envision series comes with a holding charge. The charge must be adjusted in the eld based on performance.
Refrigeration piping on the split consists of installing a brazed copper line set between the blower coil unit and the unit’s split
compressor section. To select the proper tube diameters for the installation, refer to the table on page 9. Line sets over 60
feet long are not recommended because of oil return and pressure drop problems. The suction line must always be insulated. Handle and route the line sets carefully to avoid kinking or bending the tubes. If the line set is kinked or distorted and
it cannot be formed back into its original shape, the bad portion of the pipe should be replaced. A restricted line set will affect
the performance of the system.
Connection to Air Coil
Figures 1 and 2 illustrate typical Envision Split installations. The table on page 9 shows typical lineset diameters and
maximum length. As in all R-410A equipment, a reversible liquid line lter drier is required to insure all moisture is removed
from the system. This drier should be replaced whenever “breaking into” the system for service. All linesets should be
insulated with a minimum of 1/2” closed cell insulation. All insulation should be painted with UV resistant paint or covering to
insure long insulation life.
Fasten the copper line set to the blower coil unit as instructed by the coil installation instructions. Nitrogen should be bled
through the system at 2 to 3 PSI to prevent oxidation inside the refrigerant tubing. Use a low silver phos-copper braze alloy
on all brazed connections.
Braze line set to the service valve stubs on the
inside front of the split cabinet as shown in Figure 7.
Nitrogen should be bled through the system at 2 to
3 PSI to prevent oxidation contamination. Use a low
silver phos-copper braze alloy on all brazed connec-
tions. Envision split units are shipped with a factory
charge and service valves are not to be opened
until the line set has been leak tested, purged and
evacuated. Schrader cores should be removed
before brazing. A heat sink should be used on the
service valves and TXV to prevent damage caused
by excessive heat.

Leak Testing
The refrigeration line set must be pressurized and checked for leaks before purging and charging the unit. To pressurize
the line set, attach refrigerant gauges to the service ports and add an inert gas (nitrogen or dry carbon dioxide) until pressure reaches 60 to 90 PSIG. Never use oxygen or acetylene to pressure test. Use an electronic leak detector or a good
quality bubble solution to detect leaks on all connections made in the eld. Check the service valve ports and stem for leaks
and all connections made in the eld. If a leak is found, repair it and repeat the above steps. For safety reasons do not pressurize the system above 150 psi. Purge pressure from line set. The system is now ready for evacuating and charging.
System Evacuation
Ensure that the line set and air coil are evacuated before opening service valves to the split unit. The line set must be
evacuated to at least 200 microns to remove the moisture and air that may still be in the line set and coil. Evacuate the system through both service ports to prevent false readings on the gauge because of pressure drop through service ports.
Initial System Charge Calculation
The Envision unit comes with a factory pre-charge. This volume is not sufcient to run the system. Additional refrigerant
must be added for the lineset. This additional charge added to the factory pre-charge of the Envision unit should be esti-
mated using the following equation:
Addition to Factory Charge = (lineset length x oz. per ft) + (20 oz. for accumulator)
The lineset charge should be calculated by multiplying the length times 0.5 oz./ft for 3/8” liquid line and 1.0 oz/ft for 1/2”
liquid line in R-410A systems. The suction line will not hold ‘liquid’ and can be ignored for the calculation. This should result
in a slightly under-charged unit exhibiting low subcooling and high superheat. As charge is added, the subcooling should
rise and the superheat should fall until 8-16 degrees of superheat is reached when the TXV should be metering the system.
See operating details in the startup section of this manual for exact superheat and subcooling values.
Example: 038 with 40 foot of 3/8” liquid line.
Additional to be added = (40 ft x 0.5 oz./ft) + (20 oz. for accumulator)
= 40 oz.
Solution: 40 oz. should be added to the existing 56 oz. of factory charge as an initial charge.
Charging the System
Charge Method – After purging and evacuating the line set, fully open the service valves counterclockwise. Add R-410A
(liquid) into the liquid line service port until the pressure in the system reaches approximately 200 PSIG. Never add liquid
refrigerant into the suction side of a compressor. Start the unit and measure superheat and subcooling. Keep adding refrig-
erant until the unit meets the superheat and subcooling values on page 21.
Checking Superheat and Subcooling
Determining Superheat
Measure the temperature of the suction line at the point where the expansion valve bulb is clamped.
1.
Determine the suction pressure in the suction line by attaching refrigeration gauges to the schrader connection on the
2.
suction side of the compressor.
Convert the pressure obtained in Step 2 to the saturation temperature by using the R-410A Pressure/Temperature Con-
3.
version Chart on page 20.
Subtract the temperature obtained in Step 3 from Step 1. The difference is the amount of superheat for the unit. Refer to
4.
tables on page 21 for superheat ranges at specic entering water conditions.
Superheat Adjustment
TXV’s are factory set to a specic superheat; however, the superheat should be adjusted for the application. To adjust
the TXV to other superheat settings:
Remove the seal cap from the bottom of the valve.
1.
Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase superheat and counterclockwise to decrease superheat. One complete
2.
360° turn changes the superheat approximately 3-4°F, regardless of refrigerant type. You may need to allow as much as
30 minutes after the adjustment is made for the system to stabilize.
18
NS SPLIT INSTALLATION MANUAL
Refrigeration (continued)
Once the proper superheat setting has been achieved, replace and tighten the seal cap.
1.
Warning: There are 8 total (360°) turns on the superheat adjustment stem from wide open to fully closed. When adjusting
the superheat stem clockwise (superheat increase) and the stop is reached, any further clockwise turning adjustment will
damage the valve.
Determining Subcooling
Measure the temperature of the liquid line on the small refrigerant line (liquid line) just outside the split cabinet. This
1.
location will be adequate for measurement in both modes unless a signicant temperature drop in the liquid line is anticipated.
Measure the liquid line pressure by attaching refrigerant gauges to the schrader connection on the liquid line service
2.
valve.
3. Convert the pressure obtained in Step 2 to the saturation temperature by using the R-410A Pressure/Temperature
Conversion Chart on page 20.
4. Subtract the temperature in Step 1 from the temperature in Step 3. The difference will be the subcooling value for
that unit. Refer to the tables on page 21 for subcooling ranges at specic enter water conditions.

Startup Steps
Notes: Complete the Equipment Start-Up/Commissioning Check Sheet during this procedure. Refer to thermostat operat-
ing instructions and complete the startup procedure.
1. Initiate a control signal to energize the blower motor. Check blower operation.
2. Initiate a control signal to place the unit in the cooling mode. Cooling setpoint must be set below room temperature.
3. First stage cooling will energize after a time delay.
4. Be sure that the compressor and water control valve or loop pump(s) are activated.
5. Verify that the water ow rate is correct by measuring the pressure drop through the heat exchanger using the P/T
plugs and comparing to unit capacity data in specication catalog.
6. Check the temperature of both the supply and discharge water (see page 21).
7. Check for an air temperature drop of 15°F to 25°F across the air coil, depending on the fan speed and entering water
temperature.
8. Decrease the cooling set point several degrees and verify high-speed blower operation.
9. Adjust the cooling setpoint above the room temperature and verify that the compressor and water valve or loop pumps
deactivate.
10. Initiate a control signal to place the unit in the heating mode. Heating set point must be set above room temperature.
11. First stage heating will energize after a time delay.
12. Check the temperature of both the supply and discharge water (see page 21).
13. Check for an air temperature rise of 20°F to 35°F across the air coil, depending on the fan speed and entering water
temperature.
14. If auxiliary electric heaters are installed, increase the heating setpoint until the electric heat banks are sequenced on.
All stages of the auxiliary heater should be sequenced on when the thermostat is in the Emergency Heat mode. Check amperage of each element.
15. Adjust the heating setpoint below room temperature and verify that the compressor and water valve or loop pumps
deactivate.
23
NS SPLIT INSTALLATION MANUAL
Unit Startup (cont.)
16. During all testing, check for excessive vibration, noise or water leaks. Correct or repair as required.
17. Set system to desired normal operating mode and set temperature to maintain desired comfort level.
18. Instruct the owner/operator in the proper operation of the thermostat and system maintenance.
Notes: Be certain to ll out and forward all warranty registration papers.
Final Evaluation
After the initial check of superheat/subcooling values in the heating mode, shut off the unit and allow it to sit 3 to 5
minutes until pressures equalize. Restart the unit in the cooling mode and check the values against those in tables on
page 21. If the unit performs satisfactorily, charging is complete. If the unit does not perform to specications, the charge
may need to be readjusted until the values are close. Adding refrigerant will increase subcooling. Recovering some of the
refrigerant will decrease subcooling and increase superheat. If the superheat/subcooling values are still not close to the
specications in tables on page 21, analyze refrigerant circuit operation.

To check the unit control board for proper operation:
1. Disconnect thermostat wires at the control board.
2. Jumper the desired test input (Y1, Y2, W, O or G) to the R terminal to simulate a thermostat signal.
3. If control functions properly:
• Check for thermostat and field control wiring (use the diagnostic inputs mode).
4. If control responds improperly:
• Ensure that component being controlled is functioning (compressor, blower, reversing valve, etc.).
• Ensure that wiring from control to the component is functioning (refer to the LED Definition table below and use
the diagnostic outputs mode).
• If steps above check properly, replace unit control.

To maintain sealed circuit integrity, do not install service gauges unless unit operation appears abnormal. Compare the
change in temperature on the air side as well as the water side to the tables on pages 21. If the unit’s performance is not
within the ranges listed, and the airflow and water flow are known to be correct, gauges should then be installed and superheat and subcooling numbers calculated. If superheat and subcooling are outside recommended ranges, an adjustment
to the refrigerant charge may be necessary.

Preventive Maintenance
Water Coil Maintenance
1. Keep all air out of the water. An open loop system should be checked to ensure that the well head is not allowing air to
inltrate the water line. Lines should always be airtight.
2. Keep the system under pressure at all times. It is recommended in open loop systems that the water control valve be
placed in the discharge line to prevent loss of pressure during off cycles. Closed loop systems must have positive static
pressure.
Notes: On open loop systems, if the installation is in an area with a known high mineral content (125 PPM or greater) in
the water, it is best to establish with the owner a periodic maintenance schedule so the coil can be checked regularly.
Should periodic coil cleaning be necessary, use standard coil cleaning procedures which are compatible with either the
cupronickel or copper water lines. Generally, the more water owing through the unit the less chance for scaling.
Other Maintenance
Filters
Filters must be clean to obtain maximum performance. They should be inspected monthly under normal operating con-
ditions and be replaced when necessary. Units should never be operated without a lter.
Condensate Drain
In areas where airborne bacteria produce a slime in the drain pan, it may be necessary to treat chemically to minimize
the problem. The condensate drain can pick up lint and dirt, especially with dirty lters. Inspect twice a year to avoid the
possibility of overow.
Blower Motors
Blower motors on most air handlers are equipped with sealed ball bearings and require no periodic oiling.
Air Coil
The air coil must be cleaned to obtain maximum performance. Check once a year under normal operating conditions
and, if dirty, brush or vacuum clean. Care must be taken not to damage the aluminum ns while cleaning.
CAUTION:Finedgesaresharp.
Replacement Procedures
Obtaining Parts
When ordering service or replacement parts, refer to the model number and serial number of the unit as stamped on
the serial plate attached to the unit. If replacement parts are required, mention the date of installation of the unit and the
date of failure, along with an explanation of the malfunctions and a description of the replacement parts required.
