If unit cabinet assembly includes factory provided risers, and "no" field provided between-the-floor riser extensions, please move to Step 1.
Note: Risers are designed to accommodate a maximum of 1 1/2" to 3" expansion and contraction.
If the total calculated riser expansion exceeds 3", expansion devices must be field provided.
If unit cabinet assembly includes factory provided risers and field provided between-the floor riser extensions are required, install the extensions before installing the cabinet.
1. Install drain valve, shut-off balancing valves, flow indicators and drain at the base of each supply and return riser to enable system flushing at start-up, balancing and service maintenance.
2. Lift cabinet into space while aligning it into the 3"swage of the riser below.
Note: Take extra care as not to scrape or dent risers during positioning. The riser should fall
approximately 2" into the 3" swage. This will allow for the variation in floor-to-floor dimensions, and keep the riser joints from bottoming out.
3. Level the cabinet
4. Plum bribers in two planes to as sure proper unit operation and condensate drainage.
5. Anchor all units into place.
6. For field provided risers, center the supply/return stubou is into the unit expansion slots. The stubou is ahold be perpendicular to the cabinet panel.
7. Verify all risers are vertical and that they penetrate the swaged joint at least 1". Riser should not be allowed to bottom out.
8. Braze riser joints. Sot solder or low-temperature alloys should not be used in this application.
9. If risers are field provided, it is recommended that the risers be anchored to the building structure with a minimum of one contact point. For expansion and contraction reasons, do not fasten risers rigidly to the building.
10. Seal access holes made through the cabinet for piping with suitable material to help eliminate
air leakage.

Cleaning and Flushing the Water Loop
Water Connection
For vibration isolation, it is recommended that flexible steel braided hoses be in stalled instead of hard piping between the vertical risers and the unit chassis.
Supply Grille installation
1. Install the supply grille(s) into the cabinet discharge opening. Insure there are no air gaps between the cabinet supply air and the grille. This helps prevent recirculation of supply air into the return air opening behind the drywall.
2. Secure grille(s) into the drywall via two screws.
Cleaning and flushing the Water Loop
After the piping system is complete, the flexible hose connector should be doubled back to complete the water circuit external to the unit (avoiding trash settle-ut in the condenser). An extra pipe may be necessary to connect the hose kits. See page 15 for antifreeze/water mixture by volume.
3. Water circulation system should be filled with clean water using the water make up connections.
Note: Air vents should be opened during filling.
4. With the air vents closed, start the circulating pump and then crack the air vents to bled off the trapped air, assuring circulation through all components of the system.
Note: Make up water must be available to the system to replace the volume formerly occupied by
the air that is bled off.
5. With the air vented and the water circulating, the entire system should be checked for leaks with repairs made as required.
6. Operate the supplementary heat system making checks per manufacturer's instructions. During this operation, visual checks should be made for leaks that may have occurred due to increased heat. Repair as required.
7. Open the system at the lowest point for the initial blow down (making sure the make up water is equal to the water being dumped). Continue blow down until the water leaving the drain runs clear, but not less than 2 hours.
8. Shut down pumps and supplementary heat system. Reconnect the hoses placing the water-to refrigerant heat exchanger in the water circulating system.
Note: Vents should be open when the pumps and supplementary heat system are shut down.

9. Install cabinet's front cover to the hinged door.
10. Ensure the gasket material creates a positive seal around the entire coil to avoid coil bypass. If a field
supplied door is used, ensure the front cover is attached to the building structure and not the unit cabinet.
- Supply Grille Installation
1. Install the supply grille(s) into the cabinet discharge opening. Insure there are no air gaps between thecabinet supply air and the grille. This helps prevent recirculation of supply air into the return air opening behind the drywall.
2. Secure grille(s) into the drywall via two screws.
- Cleaning and Flushing the Water Loop
1. After the piping system is complete, the flexible hose connectors should be doubled back to complete the water circuit external to the unit (avoiding trash settle-out in the condenser). An extra pipe may be necessary to connect the hose kits. See next page for antifreeze/water mixture by volume.
2. Water circulation system should be filled with clean water using the water make up connections.
Air vents should be opened during filling.
3. With the air vents closed, start the circulating pump and then crack the air vents to bleed off the trapped air, assuring circulation through all components of the system.
Make up water must be available to the system to replace the volume formerly occupied by the air that is bled off.
4. With the air vented and the water circulating, the entire system should be checked for leaks with repairs made as required.
5. Operate the supplementary heat system making checks per manufacturer's instructions. During this operation, visual checks should be made for leaks that may have occurred due to increased heat. Repair as required.
6. Open the system at the lowest point for the initial blow down (making sure the make up water is equal to the water being dumped). Continue blow down until the water leaving the drain runs clear, but not less than 2 hours.

Installation
7. Shut down pumps and supplementary heat system. Reconnect the hoses placing the water-to-refrigerant heat exchanger in the water circulating system.
Vents should be open when the pumps and supplementary heat system are shut down.
- Using Antifreeze
In areas of the country where entering water temperatures drop below 45°F or where piping is being run through areas subject to freezing, the loop must be freeze protected by using an approved antifreeze solution to prevent loop water from freezing inside the heat exchanger. Methanol and glycols are the most commonly used antifreeze solutions. Consult your geothermal unit supplier for locally approved solutions in your area. Propylene glycol is not recommended in installations where the water temperature are expected to fall below 30°F. At extreme temperatures, the viscosity increases to the point where normal loop circulating pumps may not maintain proper flow. If propylene glycol is the only locally approved solution for anti-freeze, good engineering practices should be used to achieve the desired flow. Calculate the approximate volume of water in the system by using the requirements detailed in the following table, Water Volume. Add three gallons to this total to allow for the water contained in the hose kit and geothermal unit.
Type of Antifreeze
Minimum Temperature for Freeze Protection
10°F15°F20°F25°F30°F
Methanol 25% 21% 16% 10% 3%
Propylene Glycol - - - - 6%
Before energizing the unit, the following system devices must be checked:
Is the high voltage power supply correct and in accordance with the nameplate ratings?
Is the field wiring and circuit protection the correct size?
Is the low voltage control circuit wiring correct per the unit wiring diagram?
Is the piping system clean/complete and correct? (A recommendation of all system flushing o debris from
the water-to-refrigerant heat exchanger, along with air purging from the water-to-refrigerant heat exchanger be done in accordance with the Closed-Loop Source Heat Pump Systems Installation Guide).
Is vibration isolation provided? (i.e. unit isolation pad, hose kits)
Is unit serviceable? (See clearance specifications).
Are the low/high-side pressure temperature caps secure and in place?
Are all the unit access panels secure and in place?
Is the thermostat in the OFF position?
Is the water flow established and circulating through all the units?
Is the duct work (if required) correctly sized, run, taped, insulated and weather proofed with proper unit
arrangement?
Is the condensate line properly sized, run, trapped and pitched?
Does the indoor blower turn freely without rubbing?
Has all work been done in accordance with applicable local and national codes?
Has heat transfer fluid been added in the proper mix to prevent freezing in closed system application?
Have the chassis isolation rails been released?
Is there a good seal between the front air panel and the coil?

Maintenance
- Preventive Maintenance
Maintenance on the unit is simplified with the following preventive suggestions: Filter maintenance must be performed to assure proper operation of the equipment. Filters should be inspected at least every three months, and replaced when it is evident they are dirty.
Check the contactors and relays within the control panel at least once a year. It is good practice to check the tightness of the various wiring connections within the control panel. A strainer (60 mesh or greater) must be used on an open loop system to keep debris from entering the unit heat exchanger and to ensure a clean system. For units on well water, it is important to check the cleanliness of the water-to-refrigerant heat exchanger. Should it become contaminated with dirt and scaling as a result of bad water, the heat exchanger will have to be back flushed and cleaned with a chemical that will remove the scale. This service should be performed by an experienced service person.
- Hazardous Chemicals
Coil cleaning agents can be either acidic or highly alkaline. Handle chemical carefully. Proper handling should include goggles or face shield, chemical resistant gloves, boots, apron or suit as required. For personal safety, refer to the cleaning agent manufacturers Materials Safety Data Sheet and follow all recommended safe handling practices. Failure to follow all safety instructions could result in death or serious injury. It should be noted that the water quality should be checked periodically. See the following water quality table.
