Inspection and Storage
Store cabinets, chassis, and risers the same way they
were shipped. Ensure the storage area is dry and protected from the environment. Keep the units in their
upright position. If the risers are stored at the job site,
ensure the pipe ends are capped to prevent foreign object debris and contamination.
In areas where construction is not complete (including
dry wall, plaster, paint, and where any emission of dust
particulates or fumes from outgassing are present), all
precautions must be taken to protect the cabinet, openings, and chassis from contamination or physical damage.
Upon delivery, perform the following inspections:
1. Inspect the unit for shipment damage. Notify the
Transportation Company of any damage and note
the damage on the shipping receipt.
Rough handling may dislocate and damage internal components.
• Remove the inner service panel and manually
check the blower wheel for free rotation.
• Match the refrigeration chassis to the proper cabinets by referring to the cabinet and chassis nameplate and label information.
• Remove the chassis refrigeration access panel
(top cover) and inspect the unit. Ensure that the
refrigerant tubing is free from obvious physical
damage and kinks, and check that piping does not
touch other unit components.
• Ensure the compressor is mounted on neoprene
isolators with metal spacing sleeves inside. Secured it with nuts that are snug against the metal
spacer sleeves.
• Inspect all electrical connections. Connections
must be clean and tight at the terminals.
Do NOT use the risers to lift the cabinet
assembly.
2. Inspect the riser projections at each end of the
cabinet for misalignment or end damage that
would prevent making an acceptable connection.
3. Inspect the thermostats and other accessories that
have been shipped separately for quantity and
transit damage.
Store the refrigeration chassis in the normal upright
orientation to maintain oil in the compressor sump.
Preparations for Installing the Unit
Before installing the unit, perform the following preparations:
• Verify the model number on the unit nameplate
with the ordering and shipping information to ensure the correct unit has been shipped.
• Carefully inspect each unit before delivery to the
installation site. All cabinets may not be equipped
with the same size riser or the same air supply
grille arrangement. In most cases, each cabinet is
individually tagged for a specic location in the
building.
Do NOT install this unit outdoors.
A compressor/unit comprises a pressurized system. Never loosen threaded joints
while the system is under pressure, and
never open pressurized system parts.
Before servicing, open and tag all disconnect switches.

SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION
Safety guards, shields, barriers, covers, and protective devices must not be
removed while the compressor/unit is
operating.
All safety features, disengagement, and
interlocks must be in place and function
correctly before the equipment is put into
operation. Never bypass or wire around
any safety device.
Use gloves and protective goggles where
appropriate and have a gas mask close at
hand. Use electrical protection equipment
and tools suited for electrical operations.

to national safety rules and regulations.
CABINET RISER INSTALLATION
Do NOT use the risers to lift or move the
cabinets.
Refer to Figure 3 on page 14, which shows the
correct location of the cabinet in relation to the floor
sleeve and risers.
Risers are not designed to support or lift any part of the
cabinet. Do not use them to lift a cabinet. Risers are attached using nylon ties to allow for slight adjustments
during installation, and expansion of riser column during operation. Take care during installation to avoid
damage to risers and riser stub-outs.
Improper handling and installation of
risers could damage riser stub-outs and
valves and could result in property damage, death, or serious injury.
1
Only manufacturer- qualied personnel
should install this system. If not, it may
cause water leakage, electric shock, or
re.
Rigging
Follow all applicable regulations and
safety practices during rigging and lifting.
Prepare and follow written rigging and lifting plan.
Lifting must be directed by trained, professional rigger.
Spreader bars must be used and be long enough to prevent rigging from contacting unit. Use only the designated lift points according to unit's IOM, and use ALL
lift points.
Locate the center of gravity through trial lifts to account for possible variations in unit configuration. Use
rigging and lifting techniques that keep the unit stable
and level. Keep clear of unit when lifted.
Do not allow the risers to bottom out. Riser
stub-out should be centrally located with
the stub-out opening of the cabinet riser.
Do not allow riser stub-outs or risers to
contact cabinet sheet metal.
Do not drag risers on the oor while moving the cabinet.
When the risers are shipped loose, riser installation can
be completed before cabinet installation. When installing risers, ensure the riser stub-outs are centered in the
the cabinet openings. Ensure that the risers cannot bottom out in swage (see Figure 1 on page 12).
When risers are shipped attached to cabinets, complete
the installation of risers and cabinet at the same time.
Detaching the riser from the cabinet is unnecessary.
Placing the Cabinet
The correct location of the cabinet in relation to the
floor sleeve and risers is shown in Figure 3 on page
14. To place the cabinet correctly, perform the following steps:
11
SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION
FORM 145.18-IOM1
ISSUE DATE: 8/30/2018
1. Place the cabinet in a horizontal position on the
oor adjacent to its installation location (when risers are attached to cabinet).
The units are designed to accommodate a maximum supply and return riser stub-out movement
of 1-1/2 inches due to expansion and contraction
(total movement of 3 inches). If the total calculated riser expansion or contraction exceeds 1-1/2
inches, the field must provide expansion compensation.
2. Install eld or factory-provided riser extensions,
if required, to the unit-mounted risers prior to
moving the cabinet into nal position.
3. Raise the cabinet upright. Lower the risers through
the oor cutout, aligning the risers into the swaged
section of the unit on the oor below.
Take extra care not to scrape or dent risers during positioning. The riser tailpiece
should insert approximately 2 inches into
the 3-inch long swaged section of the unit
below.
7. Center the risers’ horizontal stub-outs (complete
with factory-installed shut-off valves) in the cabinet slot openings. Ensure that the stub-outs are
perpendicular to the side/back panel.
8. Verify all risers are vertical and that they penetrate
the swaged joint at least 1 inch.
Factory provided risers come with a 3-inch deep
swage. Do not allow risers to completely bottom
out at 3 inches in the swage. The 3-inch swage
depth is oversized to allow for adjustments if necessary to keep riser stub-outs and valves centered
in the cabinet opening.
9. Center the riser stub-out in cabinet opening to
allow for expansion and contraction. Riser stubouts must not contact on any sheet metal opening.
Otherwise damage can occur to stub-outs, resulting in water leaks and property damage.
Top Vertical
Riser
DO NOT allow the riser tailpiece to bottom
out into the swaged section. This ensures
the correct riser positioning and com-
pensates for variations in oor-to-oor
dimensions.
4. Center the risers in the pipe chase, and level the
cabinet using shims as necessary.
5. Plumb risers in two planes to assure proper unit
operation and condensate drainage.
6. Anchor the cabinets into place using rubber isolated sheet metal angles. Approved and tested
sheet metal angles are available from factory.
It is strongly recommended to install vibration
isolation pads to reduce noise transmission into
the floor. Failure to use isolation kits could result
in loud unit operation.
Do not drill or drive screws into the cabinet in the area of the internal drain pan.

10. Braze or solder riser joints with industry accepted
solder or brazing rod material.
The riser system must be secured to building structure. Cabinets are not designed
to support the riser system.
11. Secure the riser system at a minimum of one point
to the building structure. Cabinets are not intended to support the riser system. If the temperature
range of the system exceeds the allowed expansion and contraction limits (1-1/2 inches maximum), the installing contractor must make riser
compensation provisions.
12. Ensure that individual unit shut-off valves remain
closed until the circulating loop system is cleaned
and ushed.

RISER LOOP
5. Install the following parts at the base of each supply and return riser to enable system ushing, balancing, and servicing:
• Drain valve
• Shut-off/balancing valves
• Flow indicators
• Drain tees
6. Install strainers at the inlet of each circulating
pump.
7. Insulate loop water piping that runs through unconditioned areas of the building or outside the
building.
When the loop water temperature is maintained
between nominal operating limits of 60.0–90.0°F,
piping does not sweat or suffer undue heat loss at
conditioned space temperatures.
8. Install vents in piping loop as required to bleed
residual air from the piping system during lling
and servicing.
9. Determine the riser shut-off valves and hose kits
required for job specic site conditions:
a. Factory-supplied risers come with the appro-
priate hose kits with NPSH type fittings (see
Figure 5 on page 17). Before attaching
NPSH type hoses, check that the female end
gasket is not missing and is free of damage
or debris. See Table 2 for information on re-
placement gaskets for NPSH hose kits.
b. For field-supplied risers, it is recommended
to order the appropriate NPSH type field
hose kits from the factory, complete with
shut-off valves. Shut-off valves are to be
field sweat connected to risers (see Figure 6 on page 17).
c. Legacy chassis with NPT type connections
and matching risers with NPT shut-off valve
connections require a special hose kit. The kit
comes complete with a NPT to NPSH swivel adapter on the shut-off valve and chassis
connection to mate with factory hoses (see
Figure 7 on page 18.
TABLE 2 - REPLACEMENT HOSE GASKETS
PART NUMBERDESCRIPTION
VSGK-UFHW-0501/2-inch Rubber Gasket
VSGK-UFHW-0753/4-inch Rubber Gasket
HOSES
Ensure the correct hose set is matched with the compatible unit size (see Table 3). Instal the NPSH factory-
provided hoses by completing the following steps:
1. Inspect for missing or damaged hose gasket. See
Table 2 for replacement gasket part numbers.
2. Tighten by hand the screw connections to the
male NPSH tting on the shut-off valve. Hold the
ferrule stationary when tightening.
3. Tighten using a backup wrench a 1/4 turn further.
Do not overtighten.
When installing hoses, do not apply a
twist or torque load on the hose.
When tightening hoses, hold the ferrule
stationary by hand while tightening the
screw connections. Avoid tight bends, or
water ow and high pressure drops may
occur.
Hose gasket does not require extreme
tightening to obtain a seal. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN, or damage to gasket or
sealing surface will occur. Do not apply
thread sealant.
Hoses must be hand tightened, then further tightened for roughly another 1/4
turn. Check for leaks before tightening
any further. Do not apply excessive force;
rubber gaskets might get damaged.
Always use a back-up wrench when tightening hoses to valves. Otherwise, valve
solder joint may fail, leading to property
damage or serious injury.

For units ordered with the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA) thermostat option to meet ADA requirements, the thermostat is located on the RA panel door
at a height of 48 inches from the base of the cabinet.
Unit is supplied with a custom RA door panel with
thermostat mounting holes, unit switch plate with a
Molex connector, and an ADA Molex pigtail harness.
See Acoustic Return Air (RA) Panel on page 20 and
Figure 14 on page 23.
Wire leads from the ADA thermostat harness are field
wired to thermostat terminals. The Molex end of the
ADA thermostat harness is field connected to the surface mounted Molex connector at unit switch plate.
Mount the thermostat using the factory provided 1/4inch number 8 screws. The ADA thermostat harness is
plenum rated. It hangs behind the RA door. For chassis
servicing, unclip harness from unit switch plate.
EC Motor (ECM) Continuous Fan
This option features a factory wired continuous low
speed fan circuit. Because of the five available motor
speed taps, the EC motor (ECM) offers an ideal range
for supporting continuous low speed fan.
Build a closet enclosure for the cabinet that incorporates the RA panel size while maintaining a sufficient
gap between the closet and cabinet. This prevents the
cabinet from contacting the RA panel and closet enclosure. Refer to Acoustic Return Air (RA) Panel on page
20, Figure 11 on page 21, and Figure 12 on page
22.
1. Cover the supply and return openings with plastic or cardboard before installing drywall around
cabinet. This prevents dust or debris from entering
the unit components.
2. Install the drywall using conventional construction methods. Do not fasten studs or drywall directly to the cabinet surface. Space the framing
members according to the RA access and the type/
quantity of supply air (SA) outlets. See Figure 11 on page 21 and Figure 12 on page 22.
3. Install sheetrock around unit cabinet by securing
the drywall to the building construction studs.
4. Cut holes around the SA and RA openings to allow access to the unit chassis, unit controls, and
the SA connection.
5. Vacuum all dust and construction debris from the
unit drain pan, electrical box, and discharge plenum after cutting out the supply/returns openings.
To prevent electrical shorts and drain pan
leaks, DO NOT penetrate unit components when driving screws near the unit
control box or drain pan. Do not allow
screws or nails to penetrate chassis, risers,
electrical junction boxes, conduits, or to
interfere with chassis removal.
ACOUSTIC RETURN AIR (RA) PANEL
The fan runs continuously on the low fan speed setting
even if there is no demand for cooling or heating. The
continuous fan is controlled by a dry contact to provide
interlocking to energy recovery ventilator (ERV) or

SUPPLY AIR (SA) DUCTWORK
Ensure there is no direct contact between
cabinet sheet metal parts and drywall en-
closure. This includes RA and SA anges.
Failure to follow these instructions will
negatively affect unit sound performance.
Horizontal Supply Air
A 2-inch duct flange (field provided) may be required
to eliminate supply air recirculation when shallow profile, single deflection supply grilles are installed at the
cabinet discharge openings. If the discharge from the
cabinet is not ducted completely into the conditioned
space, air can recirculate into the RA opening from the
space inside the drywall enclosure.
Manufacturer supplied grilles have a clearance of a 1/4
inch around the perimeter to fit inside the unit supply
flange. Other grille manufacturers could have different
clearances that should be verified.
Field supplied gasket must be applied in order to prevent air recirculation and vibration transfer when supply grilles are mounted to unit supply opening. When
mounting supply grilles with optional volume damper
directly to cabinet supply flange, the volume damper
fits inside the cabinet supply flange. It is recommended
to apply 1/8-inch neoprene tape (field supplied) around
the perimeter of the volume damper prior to inserting
it into the supply opening. See Figure 15 on page 24
for an example. This assists in reducing noise transmission and air recirculation into the unit closet.
For ducted openings, connect the unit supply opening
to the supply ductwork using a watertight flexible duct
connector. This minimizes the transmission of operating sounds through the supply ductwork. Elbows with
turning vanes or splitters are recommended to minimize air noise due to turbulence and to help reduce
static pressure.
Top Discharge Supply Air
Units that are installed with a top discharge should be
connected to the supply ductwork with a watertight
flexible connector. This minimizes the transmission
of operating sounds through the supply ductwork. Elbows with turning vanes or splitters are recommended
to minimize air noise due to turbulence and to help reduce static pressure.
For information on available unit horizontal and top
supply openings see Table 5 and Table 6 on page 26.
Recommended face velocity at the outlet supply grille
is 300–500 FPM. Table 6 gives face velocity at the unit
supply openings in relation to Table 5. To calculate the
face velocity at the supply grille, take the FPM from
Table 6 and divide by the supply grille area factor.

TOP MOUNTED FRESH AIR INTAKE
The optional fresh air intake provides a 4-inch round
duct connection on top of the unit (see Figure 23 on page 31 for right and left hand version). The fresh
air is discharged upstream of the direct expansion (DX)
coil through the discharge collector box.
Do not allow incoming air to bypass the
DX coil, otherwise, damage to the unit
may occur.
Units can be selected with the fresh air opening located
on the top left or right hand side for ease of installation.
It is recommended that applications requiring 10% or
more outdoor air utilize a pressurized fresh air system.
Unit cabinet static pressure at the RA opening is not
designed to draw 10% or more in passive fresh air systems.
The fresh air duct inside the unit is insulated to protect
the unit from condensation in the event of high humidity air. However excessively moist fresh air over prolonged periods can result in condensate inside unit or
closet.
During transportation, handling or installation of the cabinet, excessive handling
can cause an inner black plastic cover to
come loose and jam the actuator, preventing the damper from opening.
During start-up, check that the damper is opening when
the unit fan is running. It can take 20 seconds to fully
open. If the damper opens, the unit is operating as intended. If the damper fails to open, the cause is likely a
loose cover preventing actuator from rotating. Remove
the actuator to service the damper.
Removing the Actuator
1. Remove the damper plate:
a. Look underneath the top of the RA flange to
notice the damper assembly.
b. Remove the seven fasteners holding the
damper plate (see Figure 19 on page 28).
c. Drop the plate and disconnect the quick-con-
nect terminals from the harness.
2. Remove the red cover from the actuator body (see
Figure 18 on page 27).
1
To avoid condensate developing inside
ducts and equipment, it is recommended
to pretreat fresh air with a high humidity
ratio before it enters the unit assembly
through ERVs or make-up air units.
The unit comes with a 4-1/4 inch RA sleeve. Front
supply openings come with a 4-1/4 inch supply plaster
flange.
Top Mounted Fresh Air Intake with Motorized
Damper
This include the same features as the top mounted fresh
air intake option with the addition of a motorized damper assembly inside the discharge collector box similar
(see Figure 23 on page 31).
The damper assembly can be easily removed for servicing (see Removing the Actuator on page 27). The
motorized damper assembly opens during FAN ON operation. See Figure 28 on page 46 for the electrical
schematic. For other control options, please contact the
factory.

After the piping system is complete, and before connecting the refrigeration chassis, flush and clean the
risers This ensures a proper start-up and continued efficient operation of the system (see Figure 20 on page
29).
Flushing the System
1. Ensure the supply and return riser shut-off valves
are closed at each unit.
2. Using exible hoses or piping, connect the supply
and return stub-outs in the unit located at the end
of the riser run(s).
If the building has more than ten floors, connect
the supply and return stub-outs in the last two
units to divide the water flow and reduce pressure
drop at the pump (see Figure 20 on page 29).

FIGURE 19 - POSITION BLACK COVER
3. If the black cover is loose, position it in place and
slide it back onto the actuator (see Figure 19 on page 28).
4. Secure the red cover back over the actuator assembly.
5. Ensure the plastic tabs are secured to the metal
body bracket.
6. Connect the quick-connect terminals, and insert
the damper assembly into the discharge collector
box.
7. Fasten the assembly using the seven fasteners.
3. Open the shut-off valves in the units that have had
the supply and return risers interconnected.
4. Fill the water circulation system with clean water from the make-up water supply. Ensure the air
vents are open during initial lling. Do not allow
the system to overow.
5. Close the air vents, and start the circulating pump.
6. Ensure that all air is bled from the system by
cracking each air vent.
Make-up water must be available in sufcient volume to replace the volume occupied by the air that is bled off.
7. When all the air is vented and the water is circulating under pressure, check the entire system for
leaks. Repair any leaks as required.
8. Raise the temperature to approximately 85.0°F
by setting the loop temperature controls. Visually
check for any leaks that may have occurred due to
the increased heat. Repair any leaks as required.

CHASSIS INSTALLATION
Prior to installation of the refrigeration
chassis and connection to the supply and
return risers, the entire water loop system
must be ushed and cleaned. See System
Flushing and Cleaning on page 28.
Do not apply sealing tape or pipe dope on
NPSH style ttings.
Check that the female end gasket from the
hose is not missing, has no visible damage,
and is free of debris.
Always use a backup wrench when installing hoses.
Remove the inner service panel from the cabinet, and
inspect the interior compartment for debris. Clear all
debris and vacuum construction dust from the cabinet.
Locate the supply and return shut-off valves. Verify the
following:
• The valves are closed.
• The type of hose kit ttings provided with the
unit. Units shipped after June 2013 feature NPSH
ttings (straight thread), while previous generation hose kits are NPT type (tapered thread). Refer
to Riser Loop on page 16 for more information.
For Units with NPSH Valve Connection and
Hose Sets
NPSH flexible connection hoses do not require any
pipe dope or sealant tape. DO NOT ADD THREAD
SEALANT OR PIPE DOPE TO NPSH FITTINGS.
Connect the hoses to the NPSH fitting on the shut-off
valves. Always use a backup wrench when tightening
the hose to the valve fitting. Allow the hoses to hang
free inside the cabinet.
Protect the chassis from physical damage, drywall dust, paint fumes, and any
other construction contamination during
installation.
Hoses must be hand tightened then further tightened no more than 1/4 turn. Do
not apply excessive force.
Always use a backup wrench when tightening hoses to valves. Otherwise, damage
to the valve solder joint can lead to property damage or serious injury.
Slide the chassis into place using the following steps:
1. Attach the NPSH hoses to the NPSHttings on the
chassis stub-outs by projecting through the top of
the compressor compartment access cover.

SECTION 2 - OPERATION
Once the installation is complete and the system is
cleaned and flushed, begin unit start-up. Open the supply and return shut-off valves at each unit, refill the
system, and bleed off all air.
PRE-START-UP CHECKLIST
Before energizing the unit, perform the following
checks and complete the Vertical Stacked Heat Pump
Start-Up and Performance Checklist (Form 145.18-CL1) in compliance with warranty requirements.
The high voltage power supply is correct and in
accordance with the nameplate ratings.
The field wiring and circuit protection are the cor-
rect size.
The unit is electrically grounded.
The low voltage control wiring is correct per the
unit wiring diagram.
There is vibration isolation (for example, unit iso-
lation pad, flexible hoses).
The low-side or high-side pressure temperature
caps are secure and in place.
All the unit access panels are secure and in place.
The thermostat is in the OFF position.
INITIAL UNIT START-UP
During installation, testing, servicing,
and troubleshooting of this product, it
may be necessary to work with live electrical components. Failure to follow all electrical safety precautions when exposed to
live electrical components could result in
serious injury or death.
1. Close the disconnect switches on all units to provide line power.
2. Set the thermostat to the highest temperature setting.
3. Set the thermostat system switch to COOL and
the fan control switch to AUTO. The compressor
should NOT run.
4. Reduce the temperature control setting until the
compressor and supply fan energize, with the
following results:
• Water temperature leaving the heat exchanger is warmer than the entering water temperature (EWT) (approximately 9.0–12.0°F).
• The blower operation is smooth.
• The compressor and blower amps are within
the nameplate data values.
2
The water flow is established and circulating
through all the units.
The ductwork (if required) is correctly sized, run,
taped, and insulated.
The indoor blower turns freely without rubbing.
If applicable, glycol fluid was added in the proper
mix to prevent freezing in closed system application.
Clean, properly sized air filters are in place.
The condensate drain pipe is firmly secured to
both the drain riser and the drain pan stub.
• The suction line is cool with no frost observed in the refrigerant circuit.
5. Turn the thermostat switch to the OFF position.
The compressor and fan stop running and the reversing valve de-energizes.
6. To allow for pressure equalization, leave the unit
off for approximately 5 minutes.
7. Turn the thermostat to the lowest setting.
8. Set the thermostat system switch to the HEAT position. The compressor should NOT run.
9. Adjust the temperature setting upward until the
compressor and supply fan energize, with the following results after several minutes:
• Warm air is detected at the supply register.
• The water temperature decreases approximately 5.0–9.0°F across the heat exchanger.
35
SECTION 2 - OPERATION
FORM 145.18-IOM1
ISSUE DATE: 8/30/2018
• The blower and compressor operation are
smooth with no frost observed in the refrigerant circuit.
10. Set the thermostat to maintain the desired space
temperature.
11. Check all water connections for any leaks, including condensate drain hose connections.
SYSTEM LOOP TEMPERATURE
Loop temperatures affect unit performance, power
consumption (efficiency), maintenance and reliability,
and noise levels. High EWT in cooling mode above
rated conditions of 86.0°F EWT increases power consumption and compressor noise levels. Sustained operation above 100°F EWT can increase maintenance
costs, and increased compressor noise can affect occupancy comfort. The unit is designed to operate up to
110.0°F EWT for intermittent periods when high load
conditions elevate system loop temperatures.
It is not recommended to set system loop temperatures
at 110.0°F in case high load conditions cause supply
loop temperatures to exceed 110.0°F EWT. Unit sound
performance can be negatively impacted at high EWT.
During heating season, the maximum operating loop
temperature is 90.0°F EWT. For optimal unit performance, it is recommended to maintain system loop
temperatures at or above the rated conditions of 68.0°F
EWT. If system loop temperatures are low and freezing
the coaxial is possible, the system loop must contain a
glycol fluid mixture that is adequate to prevent freezing. The minimum loop temperature with glycol mixture is 20.0°F EWT. Lower loop temperatures result in
lower efficiency and heating capacity.
High system loop temperatures may nega-
tively affect unit performance, efciency,
maintenance and reliability, and noise
levels.
FAN SPEED ADJUSTMENT
Multi-speed direct drive motors are used in all units as
standard. Permanent split capacitor (PSC) fan motors
have a minimum of three selectable speeds. EC motors
(ECMs) have five speeds, however only two speeds are
recommended and available for selection.
Optional ECMs increase operating efficiency by consuming fewer watts than standard PSC motors. Motors
are factory programmed and cannot be re-programmed
in the field. Each motor contains five low voltage speed
taps. Two speed taps are used as standard.
Blower speed taps are factory set for optimum heating
and cooling airflow ranges. See Table 8 on page 37
for factory blower speed settings and minimum operating airflow.
Operating the unit below the minimum
airow may result poor heating/cooling
performance and periodic unit lockout.
A unit mounted two-speed fan switch located on the
electrical box cover allows the fan speed to switch
from LOW and HIGH. This enables the fan speed to
meet site conditions such as increased ductwork static
pressure or the use of higher efficient filters.
Perform a test run on the installed system to ensure operation with sufficient heating and cooling airflow. Excessive ductwork static pressure results in an improper
volume of airflow. High airflow volumes result in elevated noise levels and can affect occupancy comfort.
Lock all electrical power supply switches
in the OFF position before servicing the
unit. Failure to disconnect power supply
may result in electrical shock or even
death.
1. All airow ratings are at lowest voltage rating of dual rating (for example, 208 volt).
2. Airow ratings include resistance of wet coil and clean air lters.

UNIT CONTROLS
The control system microprocessor board is specifically designed for water source heat pump operation.
The control system interfaces with a conventional type
thermostat.
• The unit is complete with a self-contained lowvoltage control circuit.
• The unit incorporates a lockout circuit that provides reset capability from a hard lockout at the
space thermostat or base unit if any of the following standard safety devices trip and shut off the
compressor:
• Low pressure limit switch (loss of charge)
• High pressure limit switch
• Freeze protection switch (unit shutdown on
low water temperature)
• Condensate overflow switch
• The unit operates with conventional thermostat
designs and has a low voltage terminal strip for
easy hook-up.
• Unit control board has on-board diagnostics and
fault code display.
• Standard controls include anti-short cycle and low
voltage protection.
• The control board monitors each refrigerant safety switch independently.
• The control board has a random start feature.
• The control board retains the last ve fault codes
in nonvolatile memory that cannot be lost in the
event of a power loss.
Sequence of Operation
The room thermostat makes a circuit between R and
Y1 for cooling.
The call passes to the unit microprocessor control that
determines whether the requested operation is available and if so, which components to energize.
If at any time there is a call for both heating and cooling, the heating operation is performed. Heating always
takes priority. If cooling mode is operating, it halts and
ends the call for cooling.
Continuous Blower
With the room thermostat fan switch set to AUTO and
the system switch set to either AUTO or HEAT, the
blower energizes whenever a cooling or heating operation is requested. The blower energizes after any specified delay associated with the operation.
The indoor blower energizes for a minimum runtime of
30 seconds. Additionally, the indoor blower delays for
10 seconds between operations.
When the room thermostat calls for cooling, the lowvoltage control circuit completes from R to Y1 and G.
The compressor and fan motor energize. After completing the specified fan on delay for cooling, the microprocessor control energizes the blower motor.
Once the room thermostat has been satisfied, it deenergizes Y1. If the compressor satisfies its minimum
runtime, the compressor and fan de-energize. Otherwise, the unit operates the cooling system until the
minimum runtime for the compressor completes. After
the compressor de-energizes and the fan off delay for
cooling elapses, the blower stops.
To be available, a compressor must not be locked-out
because of a high pressure limit switch, low pressure
limit switch, condensate overflow switch, or a freezestat trip. The anti-short cycle delay (ASCD) must elapse.
Safety Control Reset
All VPCS heat pumps are furnished with a high pressure limit switch, a low pressure limit switch, low water temperature freeze protection switch, and condensate overflow switch to prevent compressor operation
during abnormal conditions.
If any of these safety devices activate, a lockout relay
circuit engages. The circuit interrupts heating and cooling operation even if the control contacts automatically
re-close.
For heating, the room thermostat makes a circuit between R and W1. The microprocessor control energizes the compressor and fan, enabling the unit to run in
heating mode.
40
This microprocessor driven lockout circuit must be
manually reset. Reset by momentarily moving the thermostat control (system) switch to OFF, then back to
HEAT or COOL (or AUTO).
The lockout circuit can also be reset by opening and
closing the unit mounted disconnect switch.
FORM 145.18-IOM1
ISSUE DATE: 8/30/2018
SECTION 2 - OPERATION
If the unit must be reset more than twice
on consecutive operating cycles, check
the unit for a dirty lter, abnormal EWT,
inadequate or excessive water ow, or
refrigerant circuit malfunction. If the
unit continues to cutout, contact a trained
service technician.
Operation Errors
Each refrigerant system is monitored for operation outside of the intended parameters. Errors are handled as
described below. All system errors override minimum
runtimes for compressors.
High Pressure Limit Switch
If a high pressure limit switch opens, the microprocessor control de-energizes the compressor, initiates the
ASCD, and stops the unit fans (soft lockout). If a call
for cooling or heating is still present at the conclusion
of the ASCD, the microprocessor control re-energizes
the compressor and unit fan.
If a high pressure limit switch opens three times within
2 hours of operation, the microprocessor control permanently locks out the system compressor, requiring a
manual reset of the system (a hard lockout). To manually reset, either de-energize the 24-volt power to the
unit or turn the room thermostat to OFF, then back to
either HEAT or COOL as required. The microprocessor control flashes a fault code indicating the high pressure lockout (see Table 13 on page 42).
Low Pressure Limit Switch
The microprocessor does not monitor the low pressure
limit switch during the initial 30 seconds of compressor
operation. For the following 30 seconds, the microprocessor control monitors the low pressure limit switch
to ensure it closes. If the low pressure limit switch fails
to close after the 30 second monitoring phase, the microprocessor control de-energizes the compressor, initiates the ASCD, and stops the fan (a soft lockout).
If a low pressure limit switch opens three times within
1 hour of operation, the microprocessor control board
locks out the compressor (a hard lockout) and flashes a
fault code (see Table 13 on page 42).
Freeze-Stat
If a freeze-stat opens, the microprocessor control deenergizes the compressor and initiates the ASCD. If
a call for cooling or heating is still present after the
ASCD, the microprocessor control re-energizes the
halted compressor.
Condensate Overow Switch
A condensate overflow fault occurs if the condensate
overflow switch opens continuously for 30 seconds.
The compressor shuts down regardless of the minimum runtime, and alarm 15 sets. The fan continues
operating in its current state.
The microprocessor control logs the first incident per
compressor request. Lockout occurs on the second fault
occurrence within a request cycle, requiring reset or
power cycling. If the compressor request is removed,
the fault occurrence counter resets to zero. When lockouts are removed, the alarm resets.
Safety Controls
The microprocessor control monitors the following inputs:
1. A suction line freeze-stat to protect against low
leaving water temperatures (LWTs) (opens at
34.0°F and resets at 48.0°F).
2. A high pressure limit switch to protect against excessive discharge pressures (opens at 600 psig ±
25 psig).
3. A low pressure limit switch to protect against loss
of refrigerant charge (opens at 55 psig ± 5 psig).
4. A condensate overow switch to protect against
condensate overow.
2
Once the low pressure limit switch is proven (closes
during the 30 second monitor period), the microprocessor control monitors the low pressure limit switch for
any openings. If the low pressure limit switch opens
for more than 5 seconds, the microprocessor control
de-energizes the compressor, initiates the ASCD, and
stops the compressor (a soft lockout).
If the call for cooling is still present after the ASCD,
the microprocessor control re-energizes the compressor.
Coaxial Freeze Protection Setpoint
The field can select the coaxial freeze protection
setpoint. The unit uses a suction line freeze-stat factory
setpoint for compressor lockout when the LWT drops
below 35.0°F (resets at 48.0°F). To lower the setpoint
for low temperature heating applications with an adequate water-antifreeze solution, unplug the freezestat sensor located at P6 on the microprocessor control
board, and plug in the (pink) jumper attached to the
existing harness.
41
SECTION 2 - OPERATION
FORM 145.18-IOM1
ISSUE DATE: 8/30/2018
Installing the jumper bypasses the freeze-stat, enabling
heating operation with a leaving glycol fluid mixture
temperature below 35.0°F. Use the jumper only in low
water applications with adequate antifreeze protection,
otherwise damage can occur.
Random Start
The random start function upon power up imposes
time delay of 4 minutes plus a random delay of 1–64
seconds. A combination of the following determine the
random number generator seed:
• A xed seed programmed at the factory
• The serial number
• The model number
• The hours of the unit's compressor runtime
Compressor Protection
In addition to the external pressure switches, the compressor also has inherent internal protection. If there
is an abnormal temperature rise in a compressor, the
protector opens to shut down the compressor. The microprocessor control incorporates features to minimize
compressor wear and damage. The control uses an
ASCD to prevent compressor operation too soon after its previous run. Additionally, a minimum runtime
is imposed any time a compressor is energized. The
ASCD initiates on unit start-up and on any compressor
reset or lockout.
Microprocessor Control Unit Flash Codes
The microprocessor control uses various flash codes
to aid in troubleshooting. The flash codes are distinguished by a short on and off cycle (approximately
200ms on and 200ms off).
During normal operation, to show that the microprocessor correctly functions, the control boards flash for
1 second on, 1 second off, also known as a heart beat.
Do not confuse this with an error flash code. To prevent confusion, a 1-flash fault code is not used. For a
list of all flash codes, see Table 13 on page 42.
Last Error
When this button is pressed and released one time
within 5 seconds, it flashes the last five fault codes on
the board’s LED. The most recent alarm is shown first
and the oldest alarm is shown last.
Test Reset
When this button is pressed and released one time
within 5 seconds, any ASCD is bypassed for one cycle.
Comm Setup
If the board is to be networked with other units, this
button is used to set the network address.
The first time the button is pressed within 5 seconds, it
scans the bus, assigns itself the first available address
(starts at 2), and then flashes that address once.
Pressing the button two times within 5 seconds causes
the control to flash the address.

SECTION 3 - MAINTENANCE
Unit maintenance is simplified by the following preventive suggestions:
1. At least once a month, visually inspect the unit.
Pay special attention to hose assemblies. Note any
signs of hose deterioration or cracking. Immediately attend to any sign of minor leakage.
2. At least once every three months, perform lter
maintenance to ensure proper operation of the
equipment. Inspect the lters and replace when
visible dirt buildup is evident.
To avoid fouled machinery and extensive
unit clean up, DO NOT operate units
without lters in place or use the unit as a
temporary cooling/heating source during
construction.
3. Every three months, inspect the condensate drain
pan for algae growth and mineral buildup. Excessive algae or mineral deposits in the drain pan or
drain line can result in condensate overow and
unpleasant mildew odors.
4. Annually check the fan motor and blower assembly. All units employ permanently lubricated fan
motors. DO NOT OIL FAN MOTORS. Vacuum
any accumulation of dirt from the motor ventilation slots and the blower wheel.
5. Annually check the contactors and relays within
the control panel. Inspect the panel for any signs
of damage caused by overheated contacts or temperature change to the wiring. Check the terminals for tightness.
6. Annually conduct an amperage check on the compressor and fan motor. An amperage draw more
than 10% higher than the nameplate values can
indicate heat exchanger fouling, low water ow,
or premature physical motor failure.
7. At least once a year, inspect the air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger surface. A dirty or partially
clogged coil can signicantly reduce operating capacity and can result in serious equipment
problems. If the coils appear dirty, clean them using mild detergent or a commercial coil-cleaning
agent.
3
8. Inspect hoses, valves, and connections for water
leaks. For hose connection leaks, inspect rubber
hose gaskets and replace them as required.
