WARNING
WARNING
SYSTEM CONTAMINANTS, IMPROPER SERVICE PROCEDURE AND/OR PHYSICAL
ABUSE AFFECTING HERMETIC COMPRESSOR ELECTRICAL TERMINALS MAY
CAUSE DANGEROUS SYSTEM VENTING.
The successful development of hermetically sealed refrigeration compressors has completely sealed the compressor's
moving parts and electric motor inside a common housing,
minimizing refrigerant leaks and the hazards sometimes associated with moving belts, pulleys or couplings.
Fundamental to the design of hermetic compressors is a
method whereby electrical current is transmitted to the compressor motor through terminal conductors which pass
through the compressor housing wall. These terminals are
sealed in a dielectric material which insulates them from the
housing and maintains the pressure tight integrity of the hermetic compressor. The terminals and their dielectric embedment are strongly constructed, but are vulnerable to careless compressor installation or maintenance procedures and
equally vulnerable to internal electrical short circuits caused
by excessive system contaminants.
T
O AVOID POSSIBLE INJURY, EXPLOSION OR DEATH, PRACTICE SAFE
HANDLING OF REFRIGERANTS.
In either of these instances, an electrical short between the
terminal and the compressor housing may result in the loss
of integrity between the terminal and its dielectric embedment. This loss may cause the terminals to be expelled,
thereby venting the vaporous and liquid contents of the compressor housing and system.
A venting compressor terminal normally presents no danger
to anyone, providing the terminal protective cover is properly
in place.
If, however, the terminal protective cover is not properly in
place, a venting terminal may discharge a combination of
(a) hot lubricating oil and refrigerant
(b) flammable mixture (if system is contaminated
with air)
in a stream of spray which may be dangerous to anyone in
the vicinity. Death or serious bodily injury could occur.
Under no circumstances is a hermetic compressor to be electrically energized and/or operated without having the terminal
protective cover properly in place.
See Service Section S-17 for proper servicing.

PRODUCT DESIGN
LOCATION & CLEARANCES
In installations where the unit is installed above ground level
and not serviceable from the ground (Example: Roof Top installations) the installer must provide a service platform for the
service person with rails or guards in accordance with local
codes or ordinances.
*PH15[24-60]M41*
NOTE: Roof overhang should be no more than 36" and
provisions made to deflect the warm discharge air out from the
overhang.
Minimum clearances are required to avoid air recirculation and
keep the unit operating at peak efficiency.
WARNING
TO PREVENT POSSIBLE DAMAGE, THE UNIT SHOULD
REMAIN IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION DURING ALL
RIGGING AND MOVING OPERATIONS. TO FACILITATE
LIFTING AND MOVING IF A CRANE IS USED, PLACE
THE UNIT IN AN ADEQUATE CABLE SLIDE.
Refer to Roof curb Installation Instructions for proper curb installation. Curbing must be installed in compliance with the
National Roofing Contractors Association Manual.
Lower unit carefully onto roof mounting curb. While rigging
unit, center of gravity will cause condenser end to be lower
than supply air end.
Roof Curb
*PH15[24-60]M4*
*PH Package Units are designed for outdoor installations only
in either residential or light commercial applications.
The connecting ductwork (Supply and Return) can be connected
for horizontal discharge airflow. In the down discharge applications, a matching Roof Curb (PGC101/102/103) is recommended for horizontal models only.
A return air filter must be installed behind the return air grille(s)
or provision must be made for a filter in an accessible location
within the return air duct. An internal filter rack (GPH13MFR102
& 103) and an external filter rack (GPGHFR101-103) are also
available as accessories. The minimum filter area should not
be less than those sizes listed in the Specification Section.
Under no circumstances should the unit be operated without
return air filters.
A 3/4" - 14 NPT drain connector is provided for removal of condensate water from the indoor coil. In order to provide proper
condensate flow, do not reduce the drain line size.
Refrigerant flow control is achieved by use of TXV. These models use the FasTest Access Fitting System, with a saddle that
is either soldered to the suction and liquid lines or is fastened
with a locking nut to the access fitting box (core) and then
screwed into the saddle. Do not remove the core from the
saddle until the refrigerant charge has been removed.
Failure to do so could result in property damage or personal injury.
The single phase units use permanent split capacitors (PSC)
design compressors. Starting components are therefore not
required. A low MFD run capacitor assists the compressor to
start and remains in the circuit during operation.
13
PRODUCT DESIGN
The outdoor fan motors are single phase capacitor type motors.
Air for condensing (cooling) is drawn through the outdoor coil
by a propeller fan, and is discharged vertically out the top of
the unit. The outdoor coil is designed for .0 static. No additional restriction (ductwork) shall be applied.
Conditioned air is drawn through the filter(s), field installed,
across the evaporator coil and back into the conditioned space
by the indoor blower.
COMPRESSORS
The *PH15 4 and 5 ton M series package heat pump units use
a two-stage scroll compressor. The two-step modulator has
an internal unloading mechanism that opens a bypass port in
the first compression pocket, effectively reducing the displacement of the scroll. The opening and closing of the bypass port
is controlled by an internal electrically operated solenoid.
The ZPS two-step modulated scroll uses a single step of unloading to go from full capacity to approximately 67% capacity. A single speed, high efficiency motor continues to run while
the scroll modulates between the two capacity steps.
As this motion occurs, the pockets between the two forms are
slowly pushed to the center of the two scrolls while simultaneously being reduced in volume. When the pocket reaches
the center of the scroll form, the gas, which is now at a high
pressure, is discharged out of a port located at the center.
During compression, several pockets are being compressed
simultaneously, resulting in a very smooth process. Both the
suction process (outer portion of the scroll members) and the
discharge process (inner portion) are continuous.
Some design characteristics of the Compliant Scroll compressor are:
• Compliant Scroll compressors are more tolerant of liquid
refrigerant.
NOTE: Even though the compressor section of a Scroll
compressor is more tolerant of liquid refrigerant, continued
floodback or flooded start conditions may wash oil from the
bearing surfaces causing premature bearing failure.
• These Scroll compressors use “POE” or polyolester oil
which is NOT compatible with mineral oil based lubricants
like 3GS. “POE” oil must be used if additional oil is required.
• Compliant scroll compressors perform "quiet" shutdowns
that allow the compressor to restart immediately without
the need for a time delay. This compressor will restart even
if the system has not equalized.
NOTE: Operating pressures and amp draws may differ from
standard reciprocating compressors. This information can
be found in the unit's
Technical Information Manual.
A scroll is an involute spiral which, when matched with a mating scroll form as shown, generates a series of crescent shaped
gas pockets between the two members.
During compression, one scroll remains stationary (fixed scroll)
while the other form (orbiting scroll) is allowed to orbit (but not
rotate) around the first form.
14
INDOOR BLOWER MOTOR
GPH15 M series model package units use a GE X13TM blower
motor The GE X13TM motor is a 3 Phase brushless DC (single
phase AC input), ball bearing construction motor with an integral control module with an internal FCC B EMI filter.
The GE X13TM motor is continuously powered with line voltage.
The switched 24 volt control signal is controlled by the thermostat in the cooling and heat pump mode and the blower relay in
the electric heat mode.
APH15 M series model package units use an ECM blower
motor. These motors offer greater airflow flexibility as well as
dehumidification. The airflow delivery for these models can be
adjusted by changing the position of dip switches on a low
voltage terminal board.
PRODUCT DESIGN
ELECTRICAL WIRING
The units are designed for operation at the voltages and hertz
as shown on the rating plate. All internal wiring is complete.
Ensure the power supply to the compressor contactor is brought
to the unit as shown on the supplied unit wiring diagram. The
24V wiring must be connected between the unit control panel
and the room thermostat.
WARNING
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO
ELECTRIC SHOCK, WIRING TO THE UNIT MUST BE
PROPERLY POLARIZED AND GROUNDED.
WARNING
WARNING
TO AVOID THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE,
PERSONAL INJURY OR FIRE, USE ONLY COPPER
CONDUCTORS.
LINE VOLTAGE WIRING
Power supply to the unit must be N.E.C. Class 1, and must
comply with all applicable codes. The unit must be electrically
grounded in accordance with the local codes or, in their absence, with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70, or in Canada, Canadian Electrical Code,
C22.1, Part 1. A fused disconnected must be provided and
sized in accordance with the unit minimum circuit ampacity.
The best protection for the wiring is the smallest fuse or breaker
which will hold the equipment on line during normal operation
without nuisance trips. Such a device will provide maximum
circuit protection.
WARNING
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM OVERCURRENT
DEVICE SIZE SHOWN ON THE UNIT DATA PLATE.
All line voltage connections must be made through weather
proof fittings. All exterior power supply and ground wiring must
be in approved weather proof conduit. Low voltage wiring from
the unit control panel to the thermostat requires coded cable.
The unit transformer is connected for 230V operation. If the
unit is to operate on 208V, reconnect the transformer primary
lead as shown on the unit wiring diagram.
If it is necessary for the installer to supply additional line voltage wiring to the inside of the package unit, the wiring must
comply with all local codes. This wiring must have a minimum
temperature rating of 105°C. All line voltage splices must be
made inside the unit or heat kit control box.
