Congratulations

Thank you for your decision to purchase Friedrich. Your new Friedrich has been carefully engineered and manufactured to give you many years of
dependable, efficient operation, maintaining a comfortable temperature and humidity level. Many extra features have been built into your unit to assure quiet
operation, the greatest circulation of cool, dry air, and the most economic operation.
This Installation and Operation Manual has been designed to insure maximum satisfaction in the performance of your unit. For years of trouble-free service,
please follow the installation instructions closely. We cannot overemphasize the importance of proper installation.

WARNING

Refrigeration system
under high pressure
Do not puncture, heat, expose to flame or
incinerate.
Only certified refrigeration technicians should
service this equipment.
R410A systems operate at higher pressures
than R22 equipment. Appropriate safe
service and handling practices must be used.
Only use gauge sets designed for use with
R410A. Do not use standard R22 gauge sets.
Here are some suggestions to help you use your new Friedrich most efficiently:
1. Carefully read and follow the installation instructions.
2. Make sure the unit is the right capacity for the area being cooled.
An undersized unit makes the unit work too hard, using more
electricity than needed and increases wear. An oversized unit
will cycle on and off too rapidly, and therefore cannot control
humidity as well.
3. Clean the filter frequently (See Routine Maintenance, Page 27).
4. Do not block the air flow to and from the unit.
5. A dirty filter or improperly set controls can affect the cooling
ability of the unit.
6. If cooling is weak and you have verified that the filter is clean
and the controls are properly set, the unit may need service and
you should call your Friedrich service provider to check the unit.
7. Keep blinds, shades and drapes closed on the sunny side of the
room being cooled to reduce radiant heat.
8. Proper insulation helps your unit maintain the desired inside
temperature.
9. Whenever possible, shade south and west facing windows.
10. Keep window coverings awayfrom the unit to provide free airflow.

Friedrich PTAC Digital Control and Unit Features

The new Friedrich digital PTAC has state of the art features to improve guest comfort, indoor air quality and conserve energy. Through the use of specifically designed control software for the PTAC industry Friedrich has accomplished what other Manufacturer’s have only attempted – a quiet, dependable, affordable and easy to use PTAC. Below is a list of features and their benifit to the owner.

SYSTEM
FreshAire PTACs utilize a DC inverter rotary compressor to ensure part load efficiencies and reliable
operation.
Some applications require the use of a wall-mounted thermostat. All new Friedrich PTACs may be switched from unit control to remote thermostat control easily without the need to order a special model or accessory kit.
The Friedrich digital PTAC features a self- diagnostic program that can alert maintenance to component
failures or operating problems. The internal diagnostic program saves properties valuable time when diagnosing running problems.
By limiting the operating range, the property can save energy by eliminating “max cool” or “max heat” situ-
ations common with older uncontrolled systems. The new electronic control allows owners to set operat-
ing ranges for both heating and cooling independently of one another.
When the PTAC senses that the indoor room temperature has fallen to 50°F, the unit will cycle on the fan (high) and the electric strip heat to raise the room temperature to 55°F, and then cycle off again. This feature works regardless of the mode selected and can be turned off.
Condenser fan utilizes slinger ring technology to pick up condensate from the base pan and disperse it on
to the condenser coil where it evaporates. This helps to cool the coil and increase the energy efciency
of the unit.

ersal power cord with 20 Amp coming standard out of the box.
DIGITAL DEFROST THERMOSTAT
The PV-Series uses a digital thermostat to accurately monitor the outdoor coil conditions to allow the heat pump to run whenever conditions are correct. Running the PTAC in heat pump mode saves energy and reduces operating costs. The digital thermostat allows maximization of heat pump run time.

ULTRAQUIE T AIR SYSTEM
Heat pump models will automatically run the electric heater to quickly bring the room up to temperature when initially energized, then return to heat pump mode. This ensures that the room is brought up to temperature quickly without the usual delay associated with heat pump units.
The owner may choose between fan cycling or fan continuous mode based on property preference. Fan continuous mode is used to keep constant airflow circulation in the room during all times the unit is ‘ON’. Fan cycle will conserve energy by only operating the fan while the compressor or electric heater is operating. ability to set the fan cycling condition independently between heating and cooling mode will increase user comfort by allowing the choice of only constantly circulating air in the summer or winter time (unlike other PTAC brands that only allow one selection).
In the event of a compressor failure in heat pump mode, the compressor may be locked out to provide heat through the resistance heater. This feature ensures that even in the unlikely event of a compressor failure, the room temperature can be maintained until the compressor can be serviced.
All Friedrich digital PTACs have low voltage terminals ready to connect a central desk control energy management system. Controlling the unit from a remote location like the front desk can reduce energy usage and requires no additional accessories on the PTAC unit.
The frost sensor protects the compressor from damage in the event that airflow is reduced or low outdoor temperatures cause the indoor coil to freeze. When the indoor coil reaches 33°F, the compressor is disabled and the fan continues
the compressor returns to operation.

The Friedrich PTAC has been engineered so that all functional systems are optimized so that they work
together to deliver the highest possible performance.
The dual-motor design means that the indoor motor can run at slower speeds which reduces sound
levels indoors.
High efciency rotary compressors are used on all Friedrich PTACs to maximize durability and ef­ci ency.
All Friedrich PTAC return air filters feature an antimicrobial element that has proven to prevent mold and bacterial growth in laboratory testing. PXFTB replacement filter kits feature the same antimicrobial agent. All filters are washable, reusable and easily accessed from the top of the unit without the removal of the front cover.
Friedrich PTAC units are capable of introducing up to 40 CFM of outside air into the conditioned space.
The outdoor air passes through a washable mesh screen to prevent debris from entering the airstream.
Outdoor coil endplates made from aluminium reduce corrosion on the outdoor other coil designs.
Friedrich PTAC units use environmentally-friendly refrigerant.

After turn on the unit, press the “Heat” button will put the unit into heating
mode.

Heat Pump Models (PVH)

When the “Heat” button is pressed initially the unit may call for electric strips to bring the room to the set point. When the room temperature falls 2below the set point, the unit will turn on the compressor or electric strip. The fan will run with compressor or electric strips. When the outdoor ambient temperature falls below 32°F or outdoor coil temperature drops to 5, the unit will operate the electric strip instead of heat pump. During heat pump mode, CPU detects the outdoor coil gets freeze, unit will go to defrost. During the defrost operation (10min at most), there will be no heating provide. After finishing defrost, electric heating will come on to warm the room quickly.
In the event of a compressor failure in heat pump mode, the compressor
may be locked out to provide heat through the electric strip heater
automatically. This feature ensures that even in the unlikely event of a
compressor failure, the room temperature can be maintained until the
compressor can be serviced. If the unit still can’t run electric heater stably,
