Allow 18” minimum for service access to the compressor compartment and controls. The top of the unit should be completely
unobstructed. If units are to be located under an overhang, there
should be a minimum of 36” clearance and provisions made to
deflect the warm discharge air out from the overhang.
UNITLOCATION
Consider the affect of outdoor fan noise on conditioned space and
any adjacent occupied space. It is recommended that the unit be
placed so that condenser air discharge does not blow toward
windows less than 25 feet away. Consideration should also be
given to shade and unit appearance.
Heat pumps require special location consideration in areas of heavy
snow accumulation and/or areas with prolonged continuous subfreezing temperatures. Heat pump unit bases have holes under the
outdoor coil to permit drainage of defrost water accumulation. The
unit must be situated to permit free unobstructed drainage of the
defrost water and ice. A minimum 2" clearance under the outdoor
coil is required in the milder climates.
NATIONAL CODES
This product is designed and manufactured to permit installation
in accordance with National Codes. It is the installer’s responsibility to install the product in accordance with National Codes and/
or prevailing local codes and regulations.
MAJOR COMPONENTS
The unit includes a hermetically sealed refrigerating system (consisting of a compressor, condenser coil, evaporator coil with
flowrator), an indoor blower, a condenser fan and all necessary
internal electrical wiring. The heat pump also includes a reversing valve, solenoid, defrost thermostat and control and loss of
charge protection. The system is factory-evacuated, charged and
performance tested. Refrigerant amount and type are indicated
on rating plate.
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS
Before attempting any installation, the following points should
be considered:
•Structural strength of supporting members
•Clearances and provision for servicing
•Power supply and wiring
•Air duct connections
•Drain facilities and connections
•Location may be on any four sides of a home,
manufactured or modular, to minimize noise
CLEARANCESAND ACCESSIBILITY
The unit is designed to be located outside the building with unobstructed condenser air inlet and discharge. Additionally, the
unit must be situated to permit access for service and installation. Condenser air enters from three sides. Air discharges
upward from the top of the unit. Refrigerant gauge connections
are made on the right side of the unit as you face the compressor
compartment. Electrical connections can be made either on the
right, bottom or duct panel side of the unit. The best and most
common application is for the unit to be located 10” from wall (4”
minimum) with the connection side facing the wall. This “close
to the wall” application minimizes exposed wiring.
Close to the wall application assures free, unobstructed air to
the other two sides. In more confined application spaces, such
as corners provide a minimum 10” clearance on all air inlet sides.
GROUND LEVEL PRE-INSTALLATION DETAILS
The unit should be set on a solid, level foundation - preferably a
concrete slab at least 4 inches thick. The slab should be above
ground level and surrounded by a graveled area for good drainage.
Any slab used as a unit’s foundation should not adjoin the building
as it is possible that sound and vibration may be transmitted to the
structure.
Ground Level Installation
ROOF TOP PRE-INSTALLATION DETAILS
Ensure that the roof is weather tight and allows proper drainage of
condensation. Use steel or treated wood beams as unit support
for load distribution.
NOTE: To ensure proper condensate drainage, unit must be installed in a level position.
• To avoid possible property damage or personal injury, the
roof must have sufficient structural strength to carry the
weight of the unit(s) and snow or water loads as required
by local codes. Consult a structural engineer to determine
the weight capabilities of the roof.
• The unit may be installed directly on wood floors or on
Class A, Class B, or Class C roof covering material.

COMPONENTS
Contactor
This control is activated (closed) by the room thermostat for both
heating and cooling. The contactor has a 24V coil and supplies
power to the compressor and outdoor fan motor.
8
Crankcase Heater
This item is “ON” whenever power is supplied to the unit and the
crankcase heater thermostat is closed. Crankcase heater
thermostat closes at 67° and opens at 85°. It warms the compressor
crankcase thereby preventing liquid migration and subsequent
compressor damage. The insert type heater is self regulating. It is
connected electrically to the contactor L1 and L2 terminals.
Condenser Motor
This item is activated by the contactor during heating and cooling,
except during defrost and emergency heat operation.
Compressor
This item is activated by the contactor for heating and cooling,
except during emergency heat. It is protected by an internal overload.
Contactor Relay
This control is activated by the thermostat (24V coil) and supplies
power to the contactor.
Defrost Control
The Defrost control provides time/temperature initiation and termination of the defrost cycle. When a Defrost cycle is initiated, the
defrost control shifts the reversing valve to “COOLING” mode, stops
the outdoor fan and brings on supplemental heat. Normally, a
Defrost cycle will take only 2-3 minutes unless system is low on
charge or outdoor conditions are severe. (windy and cold). The
defrost control also provides for a 3 minute off cycle compressor
delay.
Outdoor Thermostat
These optional controls are used to prevent full electric heater
operation at varying outdoor ambient (0° F-to 45° F). They are normally open above their set points and closed below to permit staging of indoor supplement heater operation. If the outdoor ambient
temperature is below 0° F (-18° C) with 50% or higher RH, an
outdoor thermostat (OT) must be installed and set at (0°) on the
dial. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in damage
to the product which may not be covered by the manufacturer’s
warranty .
Reversing Valve Coil
This coil is activated by the thermostat, in the cooling mode and
during defrost. It positions the reversing valve pilot valve for cooling
operation.
Indoor Blower Motor
This is activated by the room thermostat by COOLING or FAN ON
position. The motor is energized through the EBTDR for PSC motors and directly by the room thermostat for X-13 motors (4 or 5 Ton
units). X-13 motors are constant torque motors with very low power
consumption. This motor is energized by a 24V signal from the
thermostat. (See Air Flow Measurement and Adjustment for speed
adjustment instructions).
This relay is used to energize the blower during the electric heat
operation. Some room thermostats do not energize the motor during electric heat. This relay insures blower operation when the
room thermostat energizes heat. This relay has a 240 volt coil and
an 8 amp contact relay. This relay is energized by the electric heat
kit sequencer.
HEAT PUMP OPERATION
COOLING CYCLE
When the heat pump is in the cooling cycle, it operates exactly as
a Summer Air Conditioner unit. In this mode, all the charts and
data for service that apply to summer air conditioning apply to the
heat pump. Most apply on the heating cycle except that “condenser”
becomes “evaporator”, “evaporator” becomes “condenser”, “cooling” becomes “heating”.
HEATING CYCLE
The heat pump operates in the heating cycle by redirecting refrigerant flow through the refrigerant circuit external to the compressor. This is accomplished with through the reversing valve. Hot
discharge vapor from the compressor is directed to the indoor coil
(evaporator on the cooling cycle) where the heat is removed, and
the vapor condenses to liquid. It then goes through the expansion
device to the outdoor coil (condenser on the cooling cycle) where
the liquid is evaporated, and the vapor goes to the compressor.

When the solenoid valve coil is operated either from heating to
cooling or vice versa, the piston in the reversing valve to the low
pressure (high pressure) reverse positions in the reversing valve.
The following figures show a schematic of a heat pump on the cooling cycle and the heating cycle. In addition to a reversing valve, a
heat pump is equipped with an expansion device and check valve
for the indoor coil, and similar equipment for the outdoor coil. It is
also provided with a defrost control system.
The expansion devices are flowrator distributors and perform the
same function on the heating cycle as on the cooling cycle. The
flowrator distributors also act as check valves to allow for the reverse of refrigerant flow.
When the heat pump is on the heating cycle, the outdoor coil is
functioning as an evaporator. The temperature of the refrigerant in
the outdoor coil must be below the temperature of the outdoor air
in order to extract heat from the air. Thus, the greater the difference
in the outdoor temperature and the outdoor coil temperature, the
greater the heating capacity of the heat pump. This phenomenon
is a characteristic of a heat pump. It is a good practice to provide

supplementary heat for all heat pump installations in areas where
the temperature drops below 45° F. It is also a good practice to
provide sufficient supplementary heat to handle the entire heating
requirement should there be a component failure of the heat pump,
such as a compressor, or refrigerant leak, etc.
Since the temperature of the refrigerant in the outdoor coil on the
heating cycle is generally below freezing point, frost forms on the
surfaces of the outdoor coil under certain weather conditions of
temperature and relative humidity. Therefore, it is necessary to
reverse the flow of the refrigerant to provide hot gas in the outdoor
coil to melt the frost accumulation. This is accomplished by reversing the heat pump to the cooling cycle. At the same time, the
outdoor fan stops to hasten the temperature rise of the outdoor
coil and lessen the time required for defrosting. The indoor blower
continues to run and the supplementary heaters are energized.
DEFROST CONTROL
During operation the power to the circuit board is controlled by a
temperature sensor, which is clamped to a feeder tube entering
the outdoor coil. Defrost timing periods of 30,60 and 90 minutes
may be selected by setting the circuit board jumper to 30, 60 and
90 respectively. Accumulation of time for the timing period selected
starts when the sensor closes (approximately 31° F), and when
the wall thermostat calls for heat. At the end of the timing period,
the unit’s defrost cycle will be initiated provided the sensor remains closed. When the sensor opens (approximately 75° F), the
defrost cycle is terminated and the timing period is reset. If the
defrost cycle is not terminated due to the sensor temperature, a
twelve minute override interrupts the unit’s defrost period.
4. Disconnect outdoor fan by removing the outdoor fan motor
wire from “DF2” on defrost control.
5. Restart unit and allow frost to accumulate.
6. After a few minutes of operation, the unit’s defrost
thermostat should close. To verify this, check for 24 volts
between “DFT” and “C” on board. If the temperature at the
thermostat is less than 28° F and the thermostat is open,
replace the unit’s defrost thermostat, as it is defective.
7. When the unit’s defrost thermostat has closed, short the
test pins on the defrost board until the reversing valve
shifts, indicating defrost. This should take up to 21
seconds depending on what timing period the control is
set on. After defrost initiation, the short must instantly be
removed or the unit’s defrost period will only last 2.3
seconds.
8. The control is shipped from the factory with the compressor
delay option selected. This will de-energize the
compressor contactor for 30 seconds on defrost initiation
and defrost termination. If the jumper is set to Normal, the
compressor will continue to run during defrost initiation
and defrost termination. The control will also ignore the
low pressure switch connected to R-PS1 and PS2 for 5
minutes upon defrost initiation and 5 minutes after defrost
termination.
9. After the unit’s defrost thermostat has terminated, check
the defrost thermostat for 24 volts between “DFT” and “C”.
The reading should indicate 0 volts (open sensor).
10.Shut off power to unit.
11.Replace outdoor fan motor lead to terminal “DF2” on defrost
board and turn on power.
SUGGESTED FIELD TESTING/TROUBLE SHOOTING
1. Run unit in the heating mode (room thermostat calling for
heat).
2. Check unit for proper charge. Note: Bands of frost on the
condenser coil indicate low refrigerant charge.
3. Shut off power to unit.
AIRFLOW MEASUREMENTAND ADJUSTMENT
After reviewing Duct Work section, proceed with airflow measure-
ments and adjustments. The unit blower curves (see Specification Sheets) are based on external static pressure (ESP per in/wc).
The duct openings on the unit are considered internal static pressure. As long as ESP is maintained, the unit will deliver the proper
air up to the maximum static pressure listed for the CFM required
by the application (i.e. home, building, etc.)
In general, 400 CFM per ton of cooling capacity is a rule of thumb.
Some applications depending on the sensible and latent capacity
requirements may need only 350 CFM or up to 425 CFM per ton.
Check condition space load requirements (from load calculations)
and equipment expanded ratings data to match CFM and capacity.
After unit is set and duct work completed, verify the ESP with a
1-inch inclined manometer with pitot tubes or a Magnahelic gauge
and confirm CFM to blower curves in the Specification Sheets. All
units have three-speed blower motors. If low speed is not utilized,
the speed tap can be changed to medium or high speed.
NOTE: Never run CFM below 350 CFM per ton, evaporator freezing
or poor unit performance is possible.

NOTES:
• Data shown is dry coil.
Wet coil pressure drop is
approximately:
0.1” H
0, for two-row indoor
2
coil;
0.2” H2O, for three-row
indoor coil;
and 0.3” H20, for four-row
indoor coil.
• Data shown does not include
filter pressure drop, approx.
0.08” H20.
• ALL MODELS SHOULD RUN
NO LESS THAN 350 CFM/
TON.
Adjust the CFM by changing the speed tap of the indoor blower
motor at the EBTDR “COM” connection with one of the speed taps
on “M1” or “M2”. (Black-High Speed, Blue-Medium Speed, RedLow Speed.)
X-13 Motor
Adjust the CFM by changing the 24V low voltage lead at the speed
terminal block on the motor. (T1-Low Speed, T2 and T3-Medium
Speed, T4 and T5-High Speed).
REFRIGERANT CHARGE CHECKS
After completing airflow measurements and adjustments, the unit’s
refrigerant charge must be checked. The unit is factory charged
based on 400 CFM per ton at minimum ESP per AHRI test conditions (generally between .15 - .25 ESP). When air quantity or ESP
is differs from this, charge must be readjusted to the proper amount.
All package units are charged to the superheat method at the
compressor suction line (these are fixed orifice devices).
For charging in the warmer months, 8 +/-3
pressor is required at conditions: 95ºF outdoor ambient (dry bulb
temperature), 80ºF dry bulb / 67ºF wet bulb indoor ambient, approximately 50% humidity. This superheat varies when conditions
vary from the conditions described.
A superheat charge chart is available for other operating conditions. Use it to provide the correct superheat at the conditions the
unit is being charged at.
After superheat is adjusted it is recommended to check unit subcooling at the condenser coil liquid line out. In most operating
conditions 10 - 15ºF of sub-cooling is adequate.

OUTSIDE AIRINTO RETURN DUCT
Do not introduce cold outside air into the return duct of a heat
pump installation. Do not allow air entering the indoor coil to drop
below 65° F. Air below this temperature will cause low discharge
pressure, thus low suction pressure, and excessive defrost cycling resulting in low heating output. It may also cause false defrosting.
(F)
(F)
UNDERCHARGE
An undercharged heat pump on the heating cycle will cause low
discharge pressure resulting in low suction pressure and frost

POOR “TERMINATING” SENSORCONTACT
The unit’s defrost terminating sensor must make good thermal
contact with the outdoor coil tubing. Poor contact may not terminate the unit’s defrost cycle quickly enough to prevent the unit from
cutting out on high discharge pressure.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
HIGHVOLTAGE!
DISCONNECT ALL POWER BEFORE SERVICING OR INSTALLING
THIS UNIT.
TO DO SO MAY CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH.
The Self Contained Package Air Conditioner and Heat Pump should
operate for many years without excessive service calls if the unit is
installed properly . However it is recommended that the homeowner
inspect the unit before a seasonal start up. The coils should be
free of debris so adequate airflow is achieved. The return and
supply registers should be free of any obstructions. The filters
should be cleaned or replaced. These few steps will help to keep
the product up time to a maximum. The Troubleshooting Chart
(on page 11) should help in identifying problems if the unit does
not operate properly.

SERVICE THIS EQUIPMENT .
Common Causes of Unsatisfactory Operation of Heat Pump on
the Heating Cycle.
MULTIPLE POWER SOURCES MAY BE PRESENT. FAILURE
MALFUNCTIONING REVERSING VALVE - THISMAYBEDUETO:
1. Solenoid not energized - In order to determine if the
solenoid is energized, touch the nut that holds the solenoid
cover in place with a screwdriver. If the nut magnetically
holds the screwdriver, the solenoid is energized and the
unit is in the cooling cycle.
2. No voltage at unit’s solenoid - Check unit voltage. If no
voltage, check wiring circuit.
3. Valve will not shif t:
a. Undercharged - check for leaks;
b. Valve Body Damaged - Replace valve;
c. Unit Properly Charged - If it is on the heating cycle,
raise the discharge pressure by restricting airflow
through the indoor coil. If the valve does not shift, tap it
lightly on both ends with a screwdriver handle. DO NOT
TAP THE V ALVE BODY. If the unit is on the cooling cycle,
raise the discharge pressure by restricting airflow
through the outdoor coil. If the valve does not shift after
the above attempts, cut the unit off and wait until the
discharge and suction pressure equalize, and repeat
above steps. If the valve does not shift, replace it.
INADEQUATE AIR VOLUME THROUGH INDOOR COIL
When a heat pump is in the heating cycle, the indoor coil is functioning as a condenser. The return air filter must always be clean,
and sufficient air volume must pass through the indoor coil to
prevent excessive discharge pressure, and high pressure cut out.
