Horizontal Installation
Horizontal Unit Location
Units are not designed for outdoor installation. Locate the unit in an INDOOR area that allows enough space for service personnel to perform typical maintenance or repairs without removing unit from the ceiling. Horizontal units are typically installed above a false ceiling or in a ceiling plenum. Never install units in areas subject to freezing or where humidity levels could cause cabinet condensation (such as unconditioned spaces subject to 100% outside air). Consideration should be given to
access for easy removal of the lter and access panels. Provide sufcient room to make water, electrical, and
duct connection(s).
If the unit is located in a conned space, such as a closet,
provisions must be made for return air to freely enter the space by means of a louvered door, etc. Any access panel
screws that would be difcult to remove after the unit is
installed should be removed prior to setting the unit. Refer to Figure 3 for an illustration of a typical installation. Refer to unit engineering design guide for dimensional data.
Mounting Horizontal Units
Horizontal units have hanger kits pre-installed from the factory as shown in Figure 1. Figure 3 shows a typical horizontal unit installation.
Horizontal heat pumps are typically suspended above a ceiling
or within a soft using eld supplied, threaded rods sized to
support the weight of the unit.
Use four (4) eld supplied threaded rods and factory provided
vibration isolators to suspend the unit. Hang the unit clear of the
oor slab above and support the unit by the mounting bracket assemblies only. DO NOT attach the unit ush with the oor
slab above. Pitch the unit toward the drain as shown in Figure 2 to improve
the condensate drainage. On small units (less than 2.5 tons/8.8kW) ensure that unit pitch does not cause condensate leaks inside the cabinet.
In limited side access installations, pre-removal of the control box side mounting screws will allow control box removal for future servicing (HB units only).
Conform to the following guidelines when selecting unit location:
1. Provide a hinged access door in concealed-spline or plaster ceilings. Provide removable ceiling tiles in T-bar or lay-in ceilings. Refer to horizontal
unit dimensions for specic series and model in
unit submittal data. Size the access opening to accommodate the service technician during the removal or replacement of the compressor and the removal or installation of the unit itself.
2.
Provide access to hanger brackets, water valves
and ttings. Provide screwdriver clearance to access
panels, discharge collars and all electrical connections.
3. DO NOT obstruct the space beneath the unit with piping, electrical cables and other items that prohibit future removal of components or the unit itself.
4. Use a manual portable jack/lift to lift and support the weight of the unit during installation and servicing.
The installation of water source heat pump units and all associated components, parts and accessories which make up the installation shall be in accordance with the regulations of ALL authorities having jurisdiction and MUST conform to all applicable codes. It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to determine and comply with ALL applicable codes and regulations.

Field Conversion of Air Discharge
Overview
Horizontal units can be eld converted between side (straight)
and back (end) discharge using the instructions below.
Note: It is not possible to eld convert return air between
left or right return models due to the necessity of refrigeration copper piping changes.
Preparation
It is best to eld convert the unit on the ground before hanging. If the unit is already hung it should be taken down for the eld
conversion.
Side to Back Discharge Conversion
1.
Place unit in well lit area. Remove the screws as shown in Figure 4 to free top panel and discharge panel.
2. Lift out the access panel and set aside. Lift and rotate the discharge panel to the other position as shown, being careful with the blower wiring.
3.
Check blower wire routing and connections for tension or contact with sheet metal edges. Reroute if necessary.
4. Check refrigerant tubing for contact with other components.
5. Reinstall top panel and screws noting that the location for some screws will have changed.
6. Manually spin the fan wheel to insure that the wheel is not rubbing or obstructed.
7. Replace access panels.
Figure 4: Left Return Side to Back
Back to Side Discharge Conversion
If the discharge is changed from back to side, use above instruction noting that illustrations will be reversed.
Left vs. Right Return
It is not possible to eld convert return air between left or right
return models due to the necessity of refrigeration copper piping changes. However, the conversion process of side to back or back to side discharge for either right or left return
conguration is the same. In some cases, it may be possible
to rotate the entire unit 180 degrees if the return air connection needs to be on the opposite side. Note that rotating the unit will move the piping to the other end of the unit.

Horizontal Installation
Condensate Piping – Horizontal Units
Pitch the unit toward the drain as shown in Figure 2 to improve the condensate drainage. On small units (less than 2.5 tons/8.8 kW), insure that unit pitch does not cause condensate leaks inside the cabinet.
Install condensate trap at each unit with the top of the trap positioned below the unit condensate drain connection as shown in Figure 6.
Each unit must be installed with its own individual trap and connection to the condensate line (main) or riser.
Provide a means to ush or blow out the condensate line.
DO NOT install units with a common trap and/or vent. Always vent the condensate line when dirt or air can
collect in the line or a long horizontal drain line is required. Also vent when large units are working against higher external static pressure than other units connected to the same condensate main since this may cause poor drainage for all units on the line. WHEN A VENT IS INSTALLED IN THE DRAIN LINE, IT MUST BE LOCATED AFTER THE TRAP IN THE DIRECTION OF THE CONDENSATE FLOW.

DUCT SySTEM INSTALLATION
Duct System Installation
Proper duct sizing and design is critical to the performance of the unit. The duct system should be
designed to allow adequate and even airow through the unit during operation. Air ow through the unit MUST be at or above the minimum stated airow for the unit
to avoid equipment damage. Duct systems should be designed for quiet operation. Refer to Figure 3 for
horizontal duct system details or gure 8 for vertical duct system details. A exible connector is recommended
for both discharge and return air duct connections on metal duct systems to eliminate the transfer of vibration to the duct system. To maximize sound attenuation of the unit blower, the supply and return plenums should
include internal berglass duct liner or be constructed from ductboard for the rst few feet. Application of the
unit to uninsulated ductwork in an unconditioned space
is not recommended, as the unit’s performance will be adversely affected.
At least one 90° elbow should be included in the supply
duct to reduce air noise. If air noise or excessive air ow
is a problem, the blower speed can be changed. For
airow charts, consult submittal data for the series and model of the specic unit.
If the unit is connected to existing ductwork, a previous check should have been made to insure that the
ductwork has the capacity to handle the airow required
for the unit. If ducting is too small, as in the replacement of a heating only system, larger ductwork should be installed. All existing ductwork should be checked for leaks and repaired as necessary.

Vertical Unit Location
Units are not designed for outdoor installation. Locate the unit in an INDOOR area that allows enough space for service personnel to perform typical maintenance or repairs without removing unit from the mechanical room/closet. Vertical units are typically installed in a mechanical room or closet. Never install units in areas subject to freezing or where humidity levels could cause cabinet condensation (such as unconditioned spaces subject to 100% outside air). Consideration should be
given to access for easy removal of the lter and access panels. Provide sufcient room to make water, electrical,

If the unit is located in a conned space, such as a closet,
provisions must be made for return air to freely enter the space by means of a louvered door, etc. Any access
panel screws that would be difcult to remove after the
unit is installed should be removed prior to setting the unit. Refer to Figures 7 and 8 for typical installation illustrations. Refer to unit submittal data or engineering design guide for dimensional data.
1. Install the unit on a piece of rubber, neoprene or other mounting pad material for sound isolation. The pad should be at least 3/8” [10mm] to 1/2” [13mm] in thickness. Extend the pad beyond all four edges of the unit.
2. Provide adequate clearance for lter replacement and drain pan cleaning. Do not block lter access
with piping, conduit or other materials. Refer to unit submittal data or engineering design guide for dimensional data.
3. Provide access for fan and fan motor maintenance and for servicing the compressor and coils without removing the unit.
4. Provide an unobstructed path to the unit within the
closet or mechanical room. Space should be sufcient
to allow removal of the unit, if necessary.
5.
In limited side access installations, pre-removal of the control box side mounting screws will allow control box removal for future servicing (TC units only).

Sound Attenuation for Vertical Units
Sound attenuation is achieved by enclosing the unit within a small mechanical room or a closet. Additional measures for sound control include the following:
1. Mount the unit so that the return air inlet is 90° to the
return air grille. Refer to Figure 9. Install a sound bafe as
illustrated to reduce line-of sight sound transmitted through return air grilles.
2.
Mount the unit on a rubber or neoprene isolation pad to mini­mize vibration transmission to the building structure.
Figure 9: Vertical Sound Attenuation
Condensate Piping – Vertical Units
Vertical units utilize a condensate hose inside the cabinet as a trapping loop; therefore an external trap is not necessary. Figure 10a shows typical condensate connections. Figure 10b illustrates the internal trap for a typical vertical heat pump. Each unit must be installed with its own individual vent (where
necessary) and a means to ush or blow out the condensate
drain line. Do not install units with a common trap and/or vent.

4. Select the proper hose length to allow slack between connection points. Hoses may vary in length by +2% to -4% under pressure.
5. Refer to Table 1. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius for the hose selected. Exceeding the minimum bend radius may cause the hose to collapse, which
reduces water ow rate. Install an angle adapter to
avoid sharp bends in the hose when the radius falls below the required minimum.
Insulation is not required on loop water piping except where the piping runs through unheated areas, outside the building or when the loop water temperature is below the minimum expected dew point of the pipe ambient conditions. Insulation is required if loop water temperature drops below the dew point (insulation is required for ground loop applications in most climates).
A backup wrench is required when tightening water connections on HB series to prevent water line damage.
CAUTION!
CAUTION! Corrosive system water requires corrosion resis-
tant ttings and hoses, and may require water treatment.
CAUTION!
CAUTION! Do not bend or kink supply lines or hoses.

Pipe joint compound is not necessary when Teon®
thread tape is pre-applied to hose assemblies or when
ared-end connections are used. If pipe joint compound
is preferred, use compound only in small amounts on
the external pipe threads of the tting adapters. Prevent sealant from reaching the ared surfaces of the joint.
Note: When anti-freeze is used in the loop, insure that it
is compatible with the Teon tape or pipe joint compound
that is applied.
Maximum allowable torque for brass ttings is 30 ft-lbs
[41 N-m]. If a torque wrench is not available, tighten nger-tight plus one quarter turn. Tighten steel ttings as necessary.
Optional pressure-rated hose assemblies designed
specically for use with Heat Controller units are available.
Similar hoses can be obtained from alternate suppliers.
Supply and return hoses are tted with swivel-joint ttings
at one end to prevent kinking during installation. Refer to Figure 11 for an illustration of a typical supply/
return hose kit. Adapters secure hose assemblies to the unit and risers. Install hose assemblies properly and check regularly to avoid system failure and reduced service life.
NOTICE! Do not allow hoses to rest against structural building components. Compressor vibration may be transmitted through the hoses to the structure, causing unnecessary noise complaints.

Water-Loop Heat Pump Applications
Commercial Water Loop Applications
Commercial systems typically include a number of units connected to a common piping system. Any unit plumbing maintenance work can introduce air into the piping system; therefore air elimination equipment is a major portion of the mechanical room plumbing. In piping systems expected to utilize water temperatures below 60°F [16°C], 1/2” (13mm) closed cell insulation is required on all piping surfaces to eliminate condensation (extended range units required). Metal to plastic threaded joints should never be used due to their tendency to leak over time. A backup wrench must be used for HB series
equipment ttings.
Teon tape thread sealant is recommended to minimize
internal fouling of the heat exchanger. Do not over tighten connections and route piping so as not to interfere with service or maintenance access. Hose kits are available
from Heat Controller in different congurations as shown
in Figure 12 for connection between the unit and the piping system.
Figure 12: Typical Water-Loop Application

(by others)
The piping system should be ushed to remove dirt,
piping chips, and other foreign material prior to operation (see “Piping System Cleaning and Flushing Procedures”
in this manual). The ow rate is usually set between 2.25
and 3.5 gpm per ton [2.9 and 4.5 l/m per kW] of cooling capacity. Heat Controller recommends 3 gpm per ton [3.9 l/m per kW] for most applications of water loop heat pumps. To insure proper maintenance and servicing, P/T
ports are imperative for temperature and ow verication,
as well as performance checks. Water loop heat pump (cooling tower/boiler) systems
typically utilize a common loop, maintained between 60 ­90°F [16 - 32°C]. The use of a closed circuit evaporative cooling tower with a secondary heat exchanger between the tower and the water loop is recommended. If an open type cooling tower is used continuously, chemical
treatment and ltering will be necessary.
Low Water Temperature Cutout Setting - CXM Control
When antifreeze is selected, the FP1 jumper (JW3) should be clipped to select the low temperature (antifreeze 13°F [-10.6°C]) set point and avoid nuisance faults (see “Low Water Temperature Cutout Selection” in this manual). NOTE: Low water temperature operation requires extended range equipment.

CAUTION!
CAUTION! The following instructions represent industry
accepted installation practices for closed loop earth coupled heat pump systems. Instructions are provided to assist the contractor in installing trouble free ground loops. These instructions are recommendations only. State/provincial and local codes MUST be followed and installation MUST conform to ALL applicable codes. It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to determine and comply with ALL applicable codes and regulations.
CAUTION!
CAUTION! Ground loop applications require extended range
equipment and optional refrigerant/water circuit insulation.
Pre-Installation
Prior to installation, locate and mark all existing underground utilities, piping, etc. Install loops for new construction before sidewalks, patios, driveways, and other construction has begun. During construction, accurately mark all ground loop piping on the plot plan as an aid in avoiding potential future damage to the installation.
Piping Installation
The typical closed loop ground source system is shown in Figure 13. All earth loop piping materials should be limited to polyethylene fusion only for in-ground sections
of the loop. Galvanized or steel ttings should not be
used at any time due to their tendency to corrode. All
plastic to metal threaded ttings should be avoided due
to their potential to leak in earth coupled applications. A
anged tting should be substituted. P/T plugs should be used so that ow can be measured using the pressure
drop of the unit heat exchanger. Earth loop temperatures can range between 25 and
110°F [-4 to 43°C]. Flow rates between 2.25 and 3 gpm per ton [2.41 to 3.23 l/m per kW] of cooling capacity is recommended in these applications.
installation. Pressures of at least 100 psi [689 kPa] should be used when testing. Do not exceed the pipe pressure rating. Test entire system when all loops are assembled.
Flushing the Earth Loop
Upon completion of system installation and testing, ush
the system to remove all foreign objects and purge to remove all air.
Antifreeze
In areas where minimum entering loop temperatures drop below 40°F [5°C] or where piping will be routed through areas subject to freezing, antifreeze is required. Alcohols and glycols are commonly used as antifreeze. Freeze protection should be maintained to 15°F [9°C] below the lowest expected entering loop temperature. For example, if 30°F [-1°C] is the minimum expected entering loop temperature, the leaving loop temperature would be 25 to 22°F [-4 to -6°C] and freeze protection should be at 15°F [-10°C]. Calculation is as follows: 30°F - 15°F = 15°F [-1°C - 9°C = -10°C].
All alcohols should be premixed and pumped from a reservoir outside of the building when possible or introduced under the water level to prevent fumes.
Calculate the total volume of uid in the piping system.
Then use the percentage by volume shown in table 2 for the amount of antifreeze needed. Antifreeze concentration should be checked from a well mixed
sample using a hydrometer to measure specic gravity.
Low Water Temperature Cutout Setting - CXM Control
When antifreeze is selected, the FP1 jumper (JW3) should be clipped to select the low temperature (antifreeze 13°F [-10.6°C]) set point and avoid nuisance faults (see “Low Water Temperature Cutout Selection” in this manual). NOTE: Low water temperature operation requires extended range equipment.

Blower Speed Selection – Units with PSC Motor
PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) blower fan speed can be changed by moving the blue wire on the fan motor terminal block to the desired speed as shown in Figure 16. Most Heat Controller units are shipped on the medium speed tap. Consult submittal data or
engineering design guide for specic unit airow tables. Typical unit design delivers rated airow at nominal
static (0.15 in. w.g. [37Pa]) on medium speed and rated
airow at a higher static (0.4 to 0.5 in. w.g. [100 to 125
Pa]) on high speed for applications where higher static is required. Low speed will deliver approximately 85%
of rated airow at 0.10 in. w.g. [25 Pa]. An optional high
static blower is available on some models.
Special Note for AHRI Testing: To achieve rated
airow for ARI testing purposes on all PSC products,
it is necessary to change the fan speed to “HI” speed. When the heat pump has experienced less than 100
operational hours and the coil has not had sufcient time
to be “seasoned”, it is necessary to clean the coil with a mild surfactant such as Calgon to remove the oils left by manufacturing processes and enable the condensate to properly “sheet” off of the coil.
Low Water Temperature Cutout Selection
The CXM control allows the eld selection of low water
(or water-antifreeze solution) temperature limit by clipping jumper JW3, which changes the sensing temperature associated with thermistor FP1. Note that the FP1 thermistor is located on the refrigerant line between the coaxial heat exchanger and expansion device (TXV or cap tube). Therefore, FP1 is sensing refrigerant temperature, not water temperature, which is a better
indication of how water ow rate/temperature is affecting
the refrigeration circuit. The factory setting for FP1 is for systems using water
(30°F [-1.1°C] refrigerant temperature). In low water temperature (extended range) applications with antifreeze (most ground loops), jumper JW3 should be clipped as shown in Figure 18 to change the setting to 10°F [-12.2°C] refrigerant temperature, a more suitable temperature when using an antifreeze solution. All Heat Controller units operating with entering water temperatures below 59°F [15°C] must include the optional water/refrigerant circuit insulation package to prevent internal condensation.

Water Solenoid Valves
An external solenoid valve(s) should be used on ground
water installations to shut off ow to the unit when the
compressor is not operating. A slow closing valve may be required to help reduce water hammer. Figure 19 shows typical wiring for a 24VAC external solenoid valve. Figures 20 and 21 illustrate typical slow closing water control valve wiring for Taco 500 series and Taco ESP series valves. Slow closing valves take approximately 60 seconds to
open (very little water will ow before 45 seconds). Once
fully open, an end switch allows the compressor to be energized. Only relay or triac based electronic thermostats should be used with slow closing valves. When wired as shown, the slow closing valve will operate properly with the following notations:
1. The valve will remain open during a unit lockout.
2. The valve will draw approximately 25-35 VA through the “Y” signal of the thermostat.
Note: This valve can overheat the anticipator of an electromechanical thermostat. Therefore, only relay or triac based thermostats should be used.

CXM Control
For detailed control information, see CXM Application, Operation and Maintenance manual.
Field Selectable Inputs
Test mode: Test mode allows the service technician to check the operation of the control in a timely manner. By momentarily shorting the test terminals, the CXM control enters a 20 minute test mode period in which all time delays are sped up 15 times. Upon entering test mode,
the status LED will ash a code representing the last fault.
For diagnostic ease at the thermostat, the alarm relay will also cycle during test mode. The alarm relay will cycle on and off similar to the status LED to indicate a code representing the last fault, at the thermostat. Test mode can be exited by shorting the test terminals for 3 seconds. Retry Mode: If the control is attempting a retry of a fault,
the status LED will slow ash (slow ash = one ash
every 2 seconds) to indicate the control is in the process of retrying.
Field Conguration Options
Note: In the following eld conguration options, jumper
wires should be clipped ONLY when power is removed from the CXM control.
whether compressor has an “on” delay. If set to stage 2, the compressor will have a 3 second delay before energizing. Also, if set for stage 2, the alarm relay will NOT cycle during test mode.
On = Stage 1. Off = Stage 2
DIP switch 3: Not Used. DIP switch 4: DDC Output at EH2 - provides selection for DDC operation. If set to “DDC Output at EH2,” the EH2 terminal will continuously output the last fault code of the controller. If set to “EH2 normal,” EH2 will operate as standard electric heat output.
On = EH2 Normal. Off = DDC Output at EH2.
NOTE: Some CXM controls only have a 2 position DIP switch package. If this is the case, this option can be selected by clipping the jumper which is in position 4 of SW1.
Jumper not clipped = EH2 Normal. Jumper clipped = DDC Output at EH2.
DIP switch 5: Factory Setting - Normal position is “On.” Do not change selection unless instructed to do so by the factory.

Safety Features
Safety Features – CXM Control
The safety features below are provided to protect the compressor, heat exchangers, wiring and other components from damage caused by operation outside of design conditions.
Anti-short cycle protection: The control features a 5 minute anti-short cycle protection for the compressor. Note: The 5 minute anti-short cycle also occurs at power up. Random start: The control features a random start upon power up of 5-80 seconds. Fault Retry: In Fault Retry mode, the Status LED begins
slowly ashing to signal that the control is trying to
recover from a fault input. The control will stage off the outputs and then “try again” to satisfy the thermostat
input call. Once the thermostat input call is satised,
the control will continue on as if no fault occurred. If 3 consecutive faults occur without satisfying the thermostat input call, the control will go into “lockout” mode. The last fault causing the lockout will be stored in memory and can be viewed by going into test mode (CXM board). Note: FP1/FP2 faults are factory set at only one try. Lockout: In lockout mode, the status LED will begin fast
ashing. The compressor relay is turned off immediately.
Lockout mode can be “soft” reset by turning off the thermostat (or satisfying the call). A “soft” reset keeps the fault in memory but resets the control. A “hard” reset (disconnecting power to the control) resets the control and erases fault memory. Lockout with emergency heat: While in lockout mode, if W becomes active (CXM), emergency heat mode will occur. High pressure switch: When the high pressure switch opens due to high refrigerant pressures, the compressor relay is de-energized immediately since the high pressure switch is in series with the compressor contactor coil. The high pressure fault recognition is immediate (does not delay for 30 continuous seconds before de-energizing the compressor).
High pressure lockout code = 2
Example: 2 quick ashes, 10 sec pause, 2 quick ashes,
10 sec. pause, etc. Low pressure switch: The low pressure switch must be open and remain open for 30 continuous seconds during “on” cycle to be recognized as a low pressure fault. If the low pressure switch is open for 30 seconds prior to compressor power up it will be considered a low pressure (loss of charge) fault. The low pressure switch input is bypassed for the initial 60 seconds of a compressor run cycle.
Low pressure lockout code = 3
Water coil low temperature (FP1): The FP1 thermistor temperature must be below the selected low temperature limit setting for 30 continuous seconds during a
compressor run cycle to be recognized as a FP1 fault. The FP1 input is bypassed for the initial 60 seconds of a compressor run cycle. FP1 is set at the factory for one try. Therefore, the control will go into lockout mode once the FP1 fault has occurred.
FP1 lockout code = 4
Air coil low temperature (FP2): The FP2 thermistor temperature must be below the selected low temperature limit setting for 30 continuous seconds during a compressor run cycle to be recognized as a FP2 fault. The FP2 input is bypassed for the initial 60 seconds of a compressor run cycle. FP2 is set at the factory for one try. Therefore, the control will go into lockout mode once the FP2 fault has occurred.
FP2 lockout code = 5
Condensate overow: The condensate overow sensor must sense overow level for 30 continuous seconds to be recognized as a CO fault. Condensate overow will be
monitored at all times.
CO lockout code = 6
Over/under voltage shutdown: An over/under voltage condition exists when the control voltage is outside the range of 19VAC to 30VAC. Over/under voltage shut down is a self-resetting safety. If the voltage comes back within range for at least 0.5 seconds, normal operation is restored. This is not considered a fault or lockout. If the CXM is in over/under voltage shutdown for 15 minutes, the alarm relay will close.
Over/under voltage shut down code = 7
Unit Performance Sentinel-UPS (patent pending): The UPS feature indicates when the heat pump is operating
inefciently. A UPS condition exists when:
a) In heating mode with compressor energized, FP2 is
greater than 125°F [52°C] for 30 continuous seconds, or:
Heat Controller, Inc. HBH/V CompaCt IOM Instructions
CXM Controls
b) In cooling mode with compressor energized, FP1 is
greater than 125°F [52°C] for 30 continuous seconds, or:
c) In cooling mode with compressor energized, FP2 is
less than 40°F [4.5°C] for 30 continuous seconds.
If a UPS condition occurs, the control will immediately go to UPS warning. The status LED will remain on as if the control is in normal mode. Outputs of the control, excluding LED and alarm relay, will NOT be affected by UPS. The UPS condition cannot occur during a compressor off cycle. During UPS warning, the alarm relay will cycle on and off. The cycle rate will be “on” for 5 seconds, “off” for 25 seconds, “on” for 5 seconds, “off” for 25 seconds, etc.
UPS warning code = 8
Swapped FP1/FP2 thermistors: During test mode, the control monitors to see if the FP1 and FP2 thermistors are in the appropriate places. If the control is in test mode, the control will lockout with code 9 after 30 seconds if: a) The compressor is on in the cooling mode and the
FP1 sensor is colder than the FP2 sensor, or:
b) The compressor is on in the heating mode and the
FP2 sensor is colder than the FP1 sensor.
CXM Control Start-up Operation
The control will not operate until all inputs and safety controls are checked for normal conditions. The compressor will have a 5 minute anti-short cycle delay
at power-up. The rst time after power-up that there is a
call for compressor, the compressor will follow a 5 to 80 second random start delay. After the random start delay and anti-short cycle delay, the compressor relay will be energized. On all subsequent compressor calls, the random start delay is omitted.
Diagnostic Features
The LED on the CXM board advises the technician of the current status of the CXM control. The LED can display either the current CXM mode or the last fault in memory if in test mode. If there is no fault in memory, the LED will
ash Code 1 (when in test mode).

UNIT STARTING AND OPERATING CONDITIONS
Operating Limits
Environment – Units are designed for indoor installation only. Never install units in areas subject to freezing or where humidity levels could cause cabinet condensation (such as unconditioned spaces subject to 100% outside air). Power Supply – A voltage variation of +/– 10% of nameplate utilization voltage is acceptable.
Determination of operating limits is dependent primarily upon three factors: 1) return air temperature. 2) water temperature, and 3) ambient temperature. When any one of these factors is at minimum or maximum levels, the other two factors should be at normal levels to insure proper unit operation. Extreme variations in temperature and humidity and/or corrosive water or air will adversely affect unit performance, reliability, and service life. Consult Table 6a for operating limits.

Piping System Cleaning and Flushing
Piping System Cleaning and Flushing
Cleaning and ushing the WLHP piping system is the
single most important step to insure proper start-up and
continued efcient operation of the system. Follow the instructions below to properly clean and ush
the system:
1.
Insure that electrical power to the unit is disconnected.
2. Install the system with the supply hose connected directly to the return riser valve. Use a single length of
exible hose.
3. Open all air vents. Fill the system with water. DO
NOT allow system to overow. Bleed all air from the
system. Pressurize and check the system for leaks and repair as appropriate.
4.
Verify that all strainers are in place (Heat Controller recommends a strainer with a #20 stainless steel wire mesh). Start the pumps, and systematically check each vent to ensure that all air is bled from the system.
5. Verify that make-up water is available. Adjust make­up water as required to replace the air which was bled from the system. Check and adjust the water/air level in the expansion tank.
6. Set the boiler to raise the loop temperature to approximately 86°F [30°C]. Open a drain at the lowest point in the system. Adjust the make-up water replacement rate to equal the rate of bleed.
7. Rell the system and add trisodium phosphate in
a proportion of approximately one pound per 150 gallons [1/2 kg per 750 l] of water (or other equivalent approved cleaning agent). Reset the boiler to raise
the loop temperature to 100°F [38°C]. Circulate the solution for a minimum of 8 to 24 hours. At the end of this period, shut off the circulating pump and drain the solution. Repeat system cleaning if desired.
8. When the cleaning process is complete, remove the short-circuited hoses. Reconnect the hoses to the proper supply, and return the connections to each of
the units. Rell the system and bleed off all air.
9. Test the system pH with litmus paper. The system water should be in the range of pH 6.0 - 8.5 (see table
3). Add chemicals, as appropriate to maintain neutral pH levels.
10. When the system is successfully cleaned, ushed, relled and bled, check the main system panels,
safety cutouts and alarms. Set the controls to properly maintain loop temperatures.
DO NOT use “Stop Leak” or similar chemical agent in this system. Addition of chemicals of this type to the loop water will foul the heat exchanger and inhibit unit operation.
NOTE: Heat Controller strongly recommends all piping connections, both internal and external to the unit, be pressure tested by an appropriate method prior to any
nishing of the interior space or before access to all
connections is limited. Test pressure may not exceed the maximum allowable pressure for the unit and all components within the water system. Heat Controller will not be responsible or liable for damages from water leaks due to inadequate or lack of a pressurized leak test, or damages caused by exceeding the maximum pressure rating during installation.
IOM Instructions HBH/V CompaCt Heat Controller, Inc.
CAUTION!
CAUTION! To avoid possible damage to a plastic (PVC)
piping system, do not allow temperatures to exceed 113°F [45°C].
UNIT AND SySTEM CHECKOUT
Unit and System Checkout BEFORE POWERING SYSTEM, please check the following:
UNIT CHECKOUT
8 Balancing/shutoff valves: Insure that all isolation
valves are open and water control valves are wired.
8 Line voltage and wiring: Verify that voltage is within
an acceptable range for the unit and wiring and fuses/ breakers are properly sized. Verify that low voltage wiring is complete.
8 Unit control transformer: Insure that transformer
has the properly selected voltage tap. Commercial 208-230V units are factory wired for 208V operation
unless specied otherwise.
8 Entering water and air: Insure that entering water and
air temperatures are within operating limits of Table 7.
8 Low water temperature cutout: Verify that low water
temperature cut-out on the CXM control is properly set.
8 Unit fan: Manually rotate fan to verify free rotation
and insure that blower wheel is secured to the motor shaft. Be sure to remove any shipping supports if needed. DO NOT oil motors upon start-up. Fan motors are pre-oiled at the factory. Check unit fan speed selection and compare to design requirements.
8 Condensate line: Verify that condensate line is open
and properly pitched toward drain.
8 Water ow balancing: Record inlet and outlet water
temperatures for each heat pump upon startup. This check can eliminate nuisance trip outs and high
velocity water ow that could erode heat exchangers.
8 Unit air coil and lters: Insure that lter is clean and
accessible. Clean air coil of all manufacturing oils.
8 Unit controls: Verify that CXM eld selection options
are properly set.
8 System ushing: Verify that all hoses are connected
end to end when ushing to insure that debris
bypasses the unit heat exchanger, water valves and other components. Water used in the system must be potable quality initially and clean of dirt, piping slag, and strong chemical cleaning agents. Verify that all air is purged from the system. Air in the system can cause poor operation or system corrosion.
8 Cooling tower/boiler: Check equipment for proper set
points and operation.
8 Standby pumps: Verify that the standby pump is
properly installed and in operating condition.
8 System controls: Verify that system controls function
and operate in the proper sequence.
8 Low water temperature cutout: Verify that low water
temperature cut-out controls are provided for the outdoor portion of the loop. Otherwise, operating problems may occur.
8 System control center: Verify that the control center
and alarm panel have appropriate set points and are operating as designed.
8 Miscellaneous: Note any questionable aspects of
the installation.
CAUTION!
CAUTION! Verify that ALL water control valves are open
and allow water ow prior to engaging the compressor.
Freezing of the coax or water lines can permanently damage the heat pump.
CAUTION!
CAUTION! To avoid equipment damage, DO NOT
leave system lled in a building without heat during the
winter unless antifreeze is added to the water loop. Heat exchangers never fully drain by themselves and will freeze unless winterized with antifreeze.
NOTICE! Failure to remove shipping brackets from spring­mounted compressors will cause excessive noise, and could cause component failure due to added vibration.
SySTEM CHECKOUT
8 System water temperature: Check water temperature
for proper range and also verify heating and cooling set points for proper operation.
8 System pH: Check and adjust water pH if necessary
to maintain a level between 6 and 8.5. Proper pH
promotes longevity of hoses and ttings (see table 3).

Unit Start-Up Procedure
Unit Start-up Procedure
1. Turn the thermostat fan position to “ON”. Blower should start.
2. Balance air ow at registers.
3. Adjust all valves to their full open positions. Turn on the line power to all heat pumps.
4. Room temperature should be within the minimum­maximum ranges of table 6. During start-up checks, loop water temperature entering the heat pump should be between 60°F [16°C] and 95°F [35°C].
5. Two factors determine the operating limits of Heat Controller heat pumps, (a) return air temperature, and (b) water temperature. When any one of these factors is at a minimum or maximum level, the other factor must be at normal level to insure proper unit operation.
a. Adjust the unit thermostat to the warmest setting.
Place the thermostat mode switch in the “COOL” position. Slowly reduce thermostat setting until the compressor activates.
b. Check for cool air delivery at the unit grille within a
few minutes after the unit has begun to operate.
Note: Units have a ve minute time delay in the
control circuit that can be eliminated on the CXM control board as shown below in Figure 23. See controls description for details.
c. Verify that the compressor is on and that the water
ow rate is correct by measuring pressure drop
through the heat exchanger using the P/T plugs and comparing to tables 10.
d. Check the elevation and cleanliness of the
condensate lines. Dripping may be a sign of a blocked line. Check that the condensate trap is
lled to provide a water seal.
e. Refer to table 9. Check the temperature of both
entering and leaving water. If temperature is within range, proceed with the test. If temperature is outside of the operating range, check refrigerant pressures and compare to tables 8a through
8d. Verify correct water ow by comparing unit
pressure drop across the heat exchanger versus the data in tables 7. Heat of rejection (HR) can be calculated and compared to submittal data capacity pages. The formula for HR for systems with water is as follows: HR (Btuh) = TD x GPM x 500, where TD is the temperature difference between the entering and
leaving water, and GPM is the ow rate in U.S.
GPM, determined by comparing the pressure drop across the heat exchanger to table 7. In S.I. units, the formula is as follows: HR (kW) = TD x l/s x
4.18.
f.
Check air temperature drop across the air coil when compressor is operating. Air temperature drop should be between 15°F and 25°F [8°C and 14°C].
g. Turn thermostat to “OFF” position. A hissing noise
indicates proper functioning of the reversing valve.
6. Allow ve (5) minutes between tests for pressure to
equalize before beginning heating test.
a. Adjust the thermostat to the lowest setting. Place
the thermostat mode switch in the “HEAT” position.
b. Slowly raise the thermostat to a higher
temperature until the compressor activates.
c. Check for warm air delivery within a few minutes
after the unit has begun to operate.
d.
Refer to table 9. Check the temperature of both entering and leaving water. If temperature is within range, proceed with the test. If temperature is outside of the operating range, check refrigerant pressures and compare to tables 8a through 8d. Verify correct
water ow by comparing unit pressure drop across the
heat exchanger versus the data in tables 8a through 8d. Heat of extraction (HE) can be calculated and compared to submittal data capacity pages. The formula for HE for systems with water is as follows:
HE (Btuh) = TD x GPM x 500, where TD is the
temperature difference between the entering and
leaving water, and GPM is the ow rate in U.S.
GPM, determined by comparing the pressure drop across the heat exchanger to tables 10a through 10e. In S.I. units, the formula is as follows: HE (kW) = TD x l/s x 4.18.
e.
Check air temperature rise across the air coil when
compressor is operating. Air temperature rise should be between 20°F and 30°F [11°C and 17°C].
f. Check for vibration, noise, and water leaks.
7.
If unit fails to operate, perform troubleshooting analysis (see troubleshooting section). If the check described fails to reveal the problem and the unit still does not operate, contact a trained service technician to insure proper diagnosis and repair of the equipment.
8. When testing is complete, set system to maintain desired comfort level.
9.
BE CERTAIN TO FILL OUT AND FORWARD ALL WARRANTY REGISTRATION PAPERS TO HEAT CONTROLLER.
Note: If performance during any mode appears abnormal, refer to the CXM section or troubleshooting section of this manual. To obtain maximum performance, the air coil should be cleaned before start-up. A 10% solution of dishwasher detergent and water is recommended.

Preventive Maintenance
Water Coil Maintenance
(Direct ground water applications only) If the system is installed in an area with a known high mineral content (125 P.P.M. or greater) in the water, it is best to establish a periodic maintenance schedule with the owner so the coil can be checked regularly. Consult the well water applications section of this manual for a more detailed water coil material selection. Should periodic coil cleaning be necessary, use standard coil cleaning procedures, which are compatible with the heat exchanger material and copper water lines. Generally,
the more water owing through the unit, the less chance
for scaling. Therefore, 1.5 gpm per ton [1.6 l/m per kW]
is recommended as a minimum ow. Minimum ow rate
for entering water temperatures below 50°F [10°C] is 2.0 gpm per ton [2.2 l/m per kW].
Water Coil Maintenance
(All other water loop applications) Generally water coil maintenance is not needed for closed loop systems. However, if the piping is known to have high dirt or debris content, it is best to establish a periodic maintenance schedule with the owner so the water coil can be checked regularly. Dirty installations are typically the result of deterioration of iron or galvanized piping or components in the system. Open cooling towers requiring heavy chemical treatment and mineral buildup through water use can also contribute to higher maintenance. Should periodic coil cleaning be necessary, use standard coil cleaning procedures, which are compatible with both the heat exchanger material and
copper water lines. Generally, the more water owing
through the unit, the less chance for scaling. However,
ow rates over 3 gpm per ton (3.9 l/m per kW) can
produce water (or debris) velocities that can erode the heat exchanger wall and ultimately produce leaks.
Filters
Filters must be clean to obtain maximum performance. Filters should be inspected every month under normal operating conditions and be replaced when necessary.
Units should never be operated without a lter.
Washable, high efciency, electrostatic lters, when dirty,
can exhibit a very high pressure drop for the fan motor
and reduce air ow, resulting in poor performance. It is
especially important to provide consistent washing of
these lters (in the opposite direction of the normal air ow) once per month using a high pressure wash similar
to those found at self-serve car washes.
Condensate Drain
In areas where airborne bacteria may produce a “slimy” substance in the drain pan, it may be necessary to treat the drain pan chemically with an algaecide approximately every three months to minimize the problem. The condensate pan may also need to be cleaned periodically to insure indoor air quality. The condensate drain can
pick up lint and dirt, especially with dirty lters. Inspect
the drain twice a year to avoid the possibility of plugging
and eventual overow.
Compressor
Conduct annual amperage checks to insure that amp draw is no more than 10% greater than indicated on the serial plate data.
Fan Motors
All units have lubricated fan motors. Fan motors should never be lubricated unless obvious, dry operation is suspected. Periodic maintenance oiling is not recommended, as it will result in dirt accumulating in the excess oil and cause eventual motor failure. Conduct annual dry operation check and amperage check to insure amp draw is no more than 10% greater than indicated on serial plate data.
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: Fin edges are sharp.
Cabinet
Do not allow water to stay in contact with the cabinet for long periods of time to prevent corrosion of the cabinet sheet metal. Generally, vertical cabinets are set up from
the oor a few inches [7 - 8 cm] to prevent water from
entering the cabinet. The cabinet can be cleaned using a mild detergent.
Refrigerant System
To maintain sealed circuit integrity, do not install service gauges unless unit operation appears abnormal. Reference the operating charts for pressures and
temperatures. Verify that air and water ow rates are at
proper levels before servicing the refrigerant circuit.
