CAUTION
PRODUCT OR PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in product or
property damage.
The conversion of the fan coil to downflow requires
special procedures for the condensate drains on both
A−coil and Slope−coil units. The vertical drains have an
overflow hole between the primary and secondary drain
holes. This hole is plugged for all applications except
downflow, and must be used for downflow.
Failure to follow instructions could result in personal injury
or product and property damage.
! WARNING
STRUCTURAL DAMAGE
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death, or property damage.
Combustible floor base is required when installing in a
downflow application with electric heat strips.
Structural damage could occur if manufacturer’s
downflow base accessory kit is not use when installing
in a downflow application.
In this application, field conversion of the evaporator coil is
required using accessory Downflow Kit along with an
accessory Base Kit. Set unit on floor over opening and use
1/8” to 1/4” thick fireproof resilient gasket between duct, unit,
and floor. Refer to installation instructions packaged with
accessory kit. See Product Specification literature for kit
part numbers.
During the conversion process, remove the plastic cap
covering the vertical drains only and discard.
Remove the plug from the overflow hole and discard.
At completion of the downflow installation, caulk around the
vertical pan fitting to door joint to retain low air leak
performance of the unit.
NOTE: Gasket kit number (EBAC01GSK) is also required
for all downflow applications to maintain low air leak/low
sweat performance.
D. HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION
Unit must NOT be installed with access panels facing up or
down. Access panels must only face to the side.
FEM4X, FEM4P, and REM4X models are factory built for
horizontal left installation (refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4).

required, check piston size shown on indoor unit rating plate
to see if it matches required outdoor piston size. The outdoor
piston size will be found on the outdoor unit rating plate,
product data or installation instructions depending on the
model shown on outdoor unit rating plate. If the fan coil
piston does not match, replace indoor piston with correct
outdoor piston. With some outdoor units a piston is shipped
with outdoor unit.
When changing piston, use a back−up wrench. Hand tighten
hex nut, then tighten with wrench 1/2 turn. Do not exceed 30
ft−lbs.

CONDENSATE DRAINS
Unit is provided with primary and secondary 3/4” (19mm)
NPT drain connections. Refer to Figure 2, Figure 3,
Figure 4, Figure 5, and Figure 6 to identify the primary and
secondary locations. To prevent property damage and
achieve optimum drainage performance, BOTH primary
and secondary drain lines should be installed and include
properly sized condensate traps (refer to Figure 17).
Factory approved condensate traps are available
(accessory part number EBAC01CTK).
To connect drainlines, the drain connection knock−outs
must be removed. Use a knife to start the opening near the
tab and using pliers, pull the tab to remove the knock−out.
Clean the edge of the opening if necessary. After drain
fittings are installed, caulk the seam between the fitting and
the cover to retain the low leak rating of the unit.
It is recommended the PVC fittings be used on the plastic
condensate pan. Do not over−tighten. Finger−tighten plus
1−1/2 turns. Use pipe dope to ensure proper seal.
Install traps in the condensate lines as close to the coil as
possible (refer to Figure 19), but avoid blocking filter access
panel.
Install drain lines below the bottom of the drain pan and pitch
the drain lines down from the coil at least 1/4 inch per foot of
run (6mm per 0.3m). Horizontal runs over 15 feet (5m) long
must also have an anti−siphon air vents (stand pipes),
installed ahead of the horizontal runs. Extremely long
horizontal runs may require oversized drain lines to
eliminate air trapping.
Route primary drain line to the outside or to a floor drain.
Check local codes before connecting to a waste (sewer)
line.
Route the secondary drain line to a place in compliance with
local installation codes where it will be noticed when unit is
operational. Condensate flowing from secondary (overflow)
drain indicates a plugged primary drain − unit requires
service or water damage will occur.
Prime all traps, test for leaks, and insulate in areas where
sweating of the traps and drain lines could potentially cause
water damage. Consult local codes for additional
requirements or precautions.
If a gravity drain cannot be used, install a condensate pump.
Install the pump as close to the indoor section as possible.
!
PRODUCT or PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in product or
property damage.
Use only full size P−traps in the condensate line (refer to
Figure 17). Shallow, running traps are inadequate and
DO NOT allow proper condensate drainage (refer to
Figure 18).

SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS
A. CONTINUOUS FAN
Thermostat closes R to G. G sends signal direct to motor
which completes circuit to indoor blower motor. When G is
de−energized, there is a 90 second off delay before indoor
blower motor stops.
B. COOLING MODE
Thermostat energizes R to G, R to Y, and R to O (heat pump
only). G sends signal direct to motor, which completes circuit to
indoor blower motor. When G is de−energized, there is a 90
second off delay before indoor blower motor stops.
C. HEAT PUMP HEATING MODE
Thermostat energizes R to G and R to Y. G sends signal direct
to motor, which completes circuit to indoor blower motor.
When G is de−energized, there is a 90 second off delay before
indoor blower motor stops.
D. HEAT PUMP HEATING WITH AUXILIARY
ELECTRIC HEAT
Thermostat energizes R to G, R to Y, and R to W. G
energizes indoor blower motor. W energizes electric heat
relay(s) which completes circuit to heater element(s). When
W is de−energized, electric heat relay(s) open, turning off
heater elements. When G is de−energized, the indoor
blower motor is de−energized and stops.
E. ELECTRIC HEAT OR EMERGENCY HEAT MODE
Thermostat closes R to W. W energizes electric heat
relay(s) which completes circuit to heater element(s). W
also energizes the indoor blower motor. When W is
de−energized, electric heat relay(s) opens and the indoor
blower motor is de−energized and stops.
START−UP PROCEDURE
Refer to outdoor unit Installation Instructions for system
start−up instructions and refrigerant charging method
details.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The system should be regularly inspected by a qualified
service technician. Consult the servicing dealer for
recommended frequency.
Between visits, the only consumer service recommended or
required is air filter maintenance and condensate drain
operation.
Air Filter
Inspect air filters at least monthly and replace or clean as
required. Disposable type filters should be replaced.
Reusable type filters may be cleaned by soaking in mild
detergent and rinsing with cold water. Install filters with the
arrows on the side pointing in the direction of air flow.
Condensate Drain
During the cooling season check at least monthly for free
flow of drainage and clean if necessary.
!
PRODUCT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in poor unit
performance and/or product damage.
Never operate unit without a filter. Factory authorized
filter kits must be used when locating the filter inside the
unit. For those applications where access to an internal
filter is impractical, a field−supplied filter must be installed
in the return duct system.

- Airflow outside 450 cfm/ton.
NOTES:
1. Airflow based upon dry coil at 230v with factory−approved filter and electric heater (2 element heater sizes 1800 through 3600, 3 element heater sizes
4200 through 6000). For FEM4X, FEM4P, and REM4X models, airflow at 208 volts is approximately the same as 230 volts because the ECM motor is
a constant torque motor. The torque doesn’t drop off at the speeds the motor operates.
2. To avoid potential for condensate blowing out of drain pan prior to making drain trap:
Return static pressure must be less than 0.40 in. wc.
Horizontal applications of 4200 − 6000 sizes must have supply static greater than 0.20 in. wc.
3. Airflow above 400 cfm/ton on 4800 − 6000 size could result in condensate blowing off coil or splashing out of drain pan.

R−410A QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
R−410A refrigerant operates at 50% − 70% higher pressures than R−22. Be sure that servicing equipment and
replacement components are designed to operate with R−410A.
R−410A refrigerant cylinders are rose colored.
Recovery cylinder service pressure rating must be 400 psig, DOT 4BA400 or DOT BW400.
R−410A systems should be charged with liquid refrigerant. Use a commercial type metering device in the
manifold hose.
Manifold sets should be 750 psig high−side and 200 psig low−side with 520 psig low−side retard.
Use hoses with 750 psig service pressure rating.
Leak detectors should be designed to detect HFC refrigerant.
R−410A, as with other HFC refrigerants, is only compatible with POE oils.
POE oils absorb moisture rapidly. Do not expose oil to atmosphere.
POE oils may cause damage to certain plastics and roofing materials.
Vacuum pumps will not remove moisture from oil.
A liquid line filter−drier is required on every unit.
Do not use liquid line filter−driers with rated working pressures less than 600 psig.
Do not install a suction line filter−drier in liquid line.
Wrap all filter−driers and service valves with wet cloth when brazing.
Do not use capillary tube indoor coils.
Never open system to atmosphere while it is under a vacuum.
When system must be opened for service, break vacuum with dry nitrogen and replace all filter−driers.
Do not vent R−410A into the atmosphere.
Observe all WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, NOTES, and bold text.
Do NOT use R−22 TXV.
