UNIT LOCATION
DANGER
Appliances must not be installed where they may be exposed to
potentially explosive or ammable atmosphere.
Handling
Each unit will be shipped to the site on a wood skid. Whenever possible, all lifting and handling of the unit should be done with the packing and skid in position.
When slinging or using a forklift to lift the unit, the support points
should be sufciently apart to give stability when lifting. Unless
otherwise noted, the lifting points should be equidistant from the centerline. Extreme care should be taken not to drop the unit
Considerable damage can occur to the unit during positioning, in particular, to the paneling and exterior paint. Use an adequate number of personnel and the correct tools when moving the unit. The unit is designed to remain upright so care should be taken when lifting the unit up steps.
The use of torque screwdrivers on panel, cover or component mounting screws is not recommended. Hand-start all screws. If electric drills are used – set at the lowest possible torque.
Storage
Equipment should be stored in clean, dry area and in its original packaging.
CAUTION
Do store or install units in corrosive environments or in locations subject to temperature or humidity extremes (e.g., attics, garages, rooftops, etc.). Performance, reliability, and service
life can be signicantly reduced. Transport and store units in an
upright position. Tilting units greater than 60° beyond horizontal may result in damage to the compressor. If the unit is tilted past 60°, do not energize the compressor until the unit has been upright for a minimum of 6 hours to prevent compressor damage.
Unit Protection
To prevent damage, keep the unit in its original packaging or cover with an equivalent protective covering while on the job site. Cover open water connections to prevent debris from entering the system. Take extra precautions to protect the unit from damage or contamination when in an area where spraying, plastering and / or painting has not been completed. Physical damage or contamination from foreign debris may prevent proper start-up and costly equipment clean-up. Examine all
ttings, valves, or pipes and remove all dirt or debris before
installing unit.
Preparation
1. Before installation, ensure that the correct electrical power supplies are available for the unit.
2. Each unit requires an independently fused and isolated power supply.
3. Check to make sure that the units will have adequate installation clearance for easy access to remove all panels and access all internal components. Provide ample area to access external components in and around the unit and
system including water valves, ttings, and all electrical
connections.
4. Remove any Accessory Kits and shipping support material from the mechanical compartment.
5. Check Refrigerant Piping for dents or kinks.
6. Inspect all electrical connections. Connections must be clean and tight at the terminal.
Electrical
Electrical wiring should be done in accordance with all applicable national and local codes. It is the responsibility of the electrical contractor to adhere to such codes. The warranty will
be voided if wiring is not in accordance with the specications of
the unit. Modine recommends using copper conductors only.
All power supply wiring must be capable of carrying the maximum current load under no fault conditions at the stipulated
voltages. Care should be taken to avoid signicant voltage drops.
A knockout for power connection is provided on the access side of the unit. See unit dimensions in Figure 4.1.
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT
1. The ground heat exchanger (open or closed loop) or water source to be connected to the unit must be designed, constructed, and prepared in accordance with industry guidelines (IGSHPA, ASHRAE, NGWA, etc.) and best practices, and any more restrictive local codes
and regulations by a qualied service agency. Failure to
properly, size, install, or prepare the source could result in reduced performance, a reduction in the normal life of the units, and a hazard to persons and property.
2. Units selected for open loop ground source applications should have a cupronickel source coaxial heat exchanger to reduce mineral buildup and scaling. Open loop systems
should have the source coaxial coil ushed periodically to
maintain peak performance.
Installation of these units is to be INDOORS only. The instructions detailed below are for the Installation of a “Standard” unit. Accommodations and adjustments will be required for the usage of additional unit accessories. Should assistance be required for the installation of these additional items, consult Modine at the phone number listed on the back cover of this manual.
The unit must be located in a conditioned space that will remain above freezing and where humidity levels could cause cabinet condensation.

INSTALLATION
Unit Installation
1. Units should be mounted on a vibration-absorbing pad slightly larger than the base of the unit. See Table 6.1 below for
Modine vibration pad part numbers. If the unit isn’t mounted on a vibration-absorbing pad, it must be raised off the oor to prevent damage due to accidental ooding. It is not necessary to anchor the unit to the oor.
Table 6.1 - Vibration Absorbing Pads - High Density Plastic
Pad Size Part Number Models
32" X 32" 5H0835220000 024-036
36" X 36" 5H0835230000 048-072
2. Check to ensure that the unit is level in both directions and also plumb. If adjustment is necessary, Modine recommends the placement of metal shims in the outermost corners of the base.
3. Provide adequate clearance for all access panels.
4. Provide easy access for servicing water valves, ttings and
compressor.
5. Provide access to the controller and all electrical connections.
6. Provide a clear physical path to the unit. Adequate space should be provided to allow removal of the unit, if necessary.
Water Connections
1. All units utilize swivel pipe ttings for water connections that
are rated for 150 psi.
2. The connections have a rubber gasket seal similar to a garden
hose gasket, which, when mated to the ush end of most 1"
Figure 6.1 - Water Connection Breakdown
threaded male pipe ttings (MPT), provides a leak-free seal
without the need for thread sealing tape or joint compound.
3. The water piping system should include pressure/temperature taps for serviceability.
4. Refer to Figure 6.1. Install the brass spacer and rubber gasket in swivel connector prior to attempting any connection (rubber gasket and brass spacer kits are shipped with unit). To make
the connection, mate the eld supplied male pipe thread tting
against the rubber gasket in the swivel connector and thread the female locking ring onto the pipe threads, while maintaining the brass elbow in the desired direction. Tighten
the connectors by hand, and then gently snug the tting with
pliers to provide a leak-proof joint.
5. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN, as leaks may occur.
6. NOTE: Never use exible hose smaller than 1" inside diameter on the unit. Limit the length to 10' per connection in one direction. Check carefully for leaks.
Installation with Existing Air Handler or Refrigerant Coil
Modine recommends installing Split units with a new matching Modine Air Handling or A-coil unit, but the Split unit may be matched with an existing air handler or coil if the following conditions are met:
1. Coil must be R-410A rated and use a heat pump thermal expansion valve with internal check valve.
2. The air coil and line set have been ushed with a compound
that vaporizes in accordance with the instructions provided
with the ushing agent.
Follow the air handler manufacturer’s installation instructions to
install the air handler. Note that such installations do not qualify for Energy Star.

INSTALLATION
Dual Fuel Setup
A conventional fossil fuel forced air furnace may also be used for an air handler, as well as a supplemental heat source. The furnace must provide at least 400 CFM/Ton of nominal unit cooling capacity. Refer to the Cased / Uncased Coil I&S manual
for exact airow requirement for the rated matched systems.
The furnace should be disabled until auxiliary heating is called for, then the heat pump should be disabled when the furnace
takes over the heat load. Refer to the furnace manufacturer’s
installation instructions for directions on installation of the furnace, coil, and wiring. A Dual Fuel Thermostat is required to prevent damage to the split unit (see Figure 12.1).
Refrigerant Line Sets
Only ACR grade copper tubing should be used. Recommended line sets are shown in Table 9.2. Refer to the table for proper line sizing, as well as maximum allowable lengths of the line set. The table is based on equivalent line length. Equivalent Line Length is the combination of the actual lengths of all straight
runs and the equivalent length of all bends valves and ttings in
a particular line. Refer to the ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook for determining the equivalent lengths of bends, valves and
ttings. If calculated equivalent line length is between two
lengths in Table 9.2, use the size for the next longer length. Line sets over 60 feet are not recommended and can lead to oil
return problems, which can dramatically reduce the life of the compressor, and excessive pressure drop, which can reduce
capacity and efciency of the system.
Vertical lines should be kept to a minimum. Large vertical lifts will increase pressure drop in the liquid line. Whenever possible, the air handler or cased / uncased A-coil should be installed above the unit to aid in oil return. Horizontal suction lines should be pitched slightly toward the unit to aid in oil return. Do not exceed the largest suction line size in the table for each given unit size. Bends and turns should be avoided if possible and all wall penetrations should be sealed. Line sets must be suspended properly and should not contact anything except the hangers and insulation. Ends of copper lines should be kept sealed until joints are brazed. All lines should be insulated
with 3/8" thick insulation at minimum. The lter drier should be
replaced whenever the lines are broken into for service.
All brazing should be done with nitrogen owing through the
inside of the tubing at 2-3 psi to prevent oxidation. A low silver phos-copper braze alloy is recommended. When brazing to the Split Unit service valves, wrap the valves in a wet rag to prevent damage to the valves. NOTE: The Split Unit is shipped with a factory refrigerant charge. The service valves should not be opened until the entire line set has been leak tested, purged and evacuated.
Existing Line Sets
New line sets are recommended, but required if the following conditions exist:
• A compressor burnout occurred in the previous system
• Oil traps were installed in the existing line sets
• The existing line set sizes are not equal the recommended line sets
• The existing line set shows signs of damage, corrosion, abrasion or fatigue
Thermal Expansion Valve
The Split Ground Source Unit is equipped with a thermal expansion valve (TXV) that is pre-set from the factory for performance. No adjustment is necessary unless service has been done on the TXV. Table 9.1 shows the Split Unit TXV initial factory settings. Note that the matched Split System has
two TXV’s, each with independent factory settings. One TXV is
included with the A-coil or Air Handler, and one is installed in the Split unit. Refer to the Cased / Uncased or Air Handler I&S manual for the initial factory TXV settings at the A-coil.
WARNING
R-22 RETROFITS
It is highly recommended that a new line set be installed for
any R-22 system retrot. If it is impossible to replace the line set, the line set must be ushed prior to the installation
of the R-410A split system. It is also critical that the installer clear traps of all residual mineral oils.

INSTALLATION
DANGER
Water temperatures over 125°F can cause severe burns instantly resulting in severe injury or death. Feel water before showering or bathing. Ensure that the primary water heating source setpoints are higher than the heat pump water discharge temperature of 120°F.
8. Reinstall the drain valve on one side of the tee.
9. Open all valves, except the system drain valve, and ll the
system with water. Bleed all air and check for leaks.
10. Insulate all piping with 3/8” closed cell insulation.
11. Refer to Start Up Procedure for DHW setup and start up.

IMPORTANT
All piping and connections must be made in accordance with local plumbing codes. All components should be located in a conditioned space that is maintained above 50°F at all times.
Hot Water Generator (Desuperheater) Installation (If Equipped)
A minimum 50 gallon water heater is recommended with the Desuperheater (DHW) option. Higher demand applications may use either one 80 gallon water heater or two 50 gallon water heaters piped in series. The hot water tank should be allowed to stratify by lowering the bottom element setpoint to 100°F and setting the top element setpoint to 125°F. Control of the DHW pump is via electro-mechanical temperature switches. The pump is energized whenever the unit is running a conditioning cycle, the DWH supply temperature (water leaving the desuperheater coil) is < = 120°F and the compressor discharge temperature is > = 100°F.
The desuperheater pump is disabled on delivery from the factory. It must be enabled by wiring the pump in the unit control panel after the DHW piping has been completed and purged. This is to prevent the domestic hot water pump from running before the DHW tank is piped to the heat pump. DHW option must not be enabled until all piping is complete and the DHW loop has been purged and bled or damage can occur.
Poor domestic water quality may result in debris buildup in the system. A water softener is recommended with hard water (greater than 10 grains or 170 total hardness). Extreme hard water will require additional maintenance and should be considered with the DHW option, as maintenance costs may outweigh potential savings.
Make sure all local electrical and plumbing codes are met for installing a hot water generator. The installing contractor is responsible for performing the installation accordingly.
Water piping lengths must be kept at a minimum. DO NOT use a one way length greater than 50 feet.
Coaxial drain tees that provide an inlet and outlet to the heat pump from the drain connection are not recommended. The decreased diameter of the inlet and outlet pipes to the heat pump make it possible for debris build up and completely stop
the ow of water to and from the desuperheater.
1. Turn off power or fuel supply to the water heater.
2. Close cold water supply valve to heater.
3. Drain and ush the tank, then remove the drain valve.
4. Inspect the water heater cold water inlet pipe for a check valve and remove if present. Failure to do so will result in damage to the unit.
5. Use a tee to connect the cold water supply pipe to the DHW In connection on the unit. Be sure to install a shutoff valve on the Cold Water Inlet pipe. Also install a shutoff valve on the supply line to the unit, as well as an air vent at the highest point of the system.
6. Run DHW piping using a minimum of 1/2" OD copper tubing. See Table 8.1 for recommended line sizes.
7. Use a tee to connect the unit DHW Out Connection to the water heater drain connection. Be sure to install a shutoff valve on the pipe as near to the water heater as possible.

Leak Testing and Evacuating the Refrigeration System
Pressurize the line set and air coil with 150 psi dry nitrogen and thoroughly check for leaks. Once a leak free system is
veried, purge the system and evacuate the line set and air
coil to at least 500 microns. Use both service ports to prevent false readings. A quality vacuum pump capable of accurately measuring vacuum depth is required to ensure system is ready for charging. System must hold vacuum for a minimum for 30 minutes.
Charging the System
Do not overcharge the system. Charge all systems by weight as determined from Table 9.2 and the supplied factory charge. Factory charge includes, split unit charge, A-coil charge and a 25' line set. If the line set varies from 25', then a charge adjustment must be calculated.

• Check that the supply voltage matches the unit supply voltage
listed on the Unit Serial Plate.
• Verify that all wiring is secure and properly protected.
• All high voltage wiring is correct including, fuses, breakers and
wire sizes.
• Trace circuits to insure that the unit has been wired according
to the wiring diagram.
• Check that the unit has no visible damage and that all the
components are secure.
• Check that all eld electrical and mechanical work has been
performed according to all applicable Federal, State, and Local codes.
• Check the supply voltage to the unit is within +/- 5% of the
voltage on the unit serial plate.
• Low voltage wiring for thermostat, control wiring and the freeze
protection setpoint completed.
• Transformer wiring is correct.
• Water supply to heat pump is completed.
• Piping completed, water system cleaned and ushed of debris.
• Air and debris are purged from the ground loop.
• Antifreeze added to ground loop, as required
• Isolation valves are open, water control valves or loop pumps
wired.
• DHW piping is complete, all air purged from system and
charged with water.
IMPORTANT: Ensure all valves in the DHW circuit are fully
open.
• Condensate line is open, condensate drain line is correctly
pitched.
• Blower rotates freely.
• Check air coil for cleanliness.
• Filter is clean and in position.
• Clean all debris from the ducting system.
• Service/access panels are in place.

coax or water lines can permanently damage the heat pump.
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.
Controller Setup
GS/ES systems are pre-programed from the factory for easy installation, no installer setup is required for the unit to function.
The DHW pump is not wired from the factory on all units. This is done to protect the pump during installation and startup. If a DHW pump is in the system, it must be wired.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that the freeze protection setpoint is properly set
(approximately 10°F above the uid freeze point) for the type and percentage of uid used in the ground loop.

12. Lower thermostat set point below room temperature and
verify that compressor and ow center deactivate.
13. Initiate a control signal to place the unit in the cooling mode.
Cooling set point must be set below room temperature.
14. Cooling will energize after a time delay.
15. Be sure that the compressor and ow center are activated.
16. Monitor ground water supply (GWI) and return (GWO)
temperatures. If temperature rise is within expected operating range as shown in Table 16.1, continue with testing.
17. If temperature drop is outside of expected operating range,
check refrigerant pressures and compare to those shown in Table 16.1.
18. Check for an air temperature drop of 15°F to 25°F across
the air coil.
19. Check for vibration, noise and leaks.
20. Adjust the cooling set point above the room temperature and
verify that the compressor and ow center deactivate.
21. If unit fails to operate as described, see troubleshooting
section. If the unit still does not operate properly, contact Modine at the number listed on the back of this manual.
22. When testing is complete, set system to normal operating
mode.
DHW Startup Procedure
1. If the DHW was wired, the DHW pump will run whenever the
heat pump is running and the DHW Supply temperature is below 120°F and the discharge temperature is above 100°F.
2. To verify operation of the DHW pump, ensure that the heat
pump is running and the DHW temperature is below 120°F and the discharge temperature is above 100°F.
3. The temperature rise across the desuperheater should be
5-10°F.
Sequence of Operation
The unit’s controller will monitor calls for heat or cooling by
thermostat(s).
Blower: The blower will cycle with a call for cooling or heating.
Cool: Upon receiving a a G, Y1, and O signal from the
thermostat, the blower, compressor and reversing valve will be
energized. On two stage units with ECM, the rst stage of the
compressor will be energized and the blower will provide the
rst stage airow. The compressor will be limited by a timer
that will provide anti-cycle protection. When a subsequent Y2 signal is received, the second stage of the compressor will be
energized and the blower will provide second stage airow (two
stage units with ECM only). Heat: Upon receiving a G and Y1 and signal from the
thermostat, the blower and compressor will be energized. On
two stage units with ECM, the rst stage of the compressor will be energized and the blower will provide the rst stage airow.
The compressor will be limited by a timer that will provide anti­cycle protection. When a subsequent Y2 signal is received, the second stage of the compressor will be energized and the
blower will provide second stage airow (two stage units with
ECM only).
Open Loop Systems: An optional valve can be tted to stop water ow when the compressor is not energized. This allows the pumping system to work more efciently.
Supplemental Electric Heat (Field Installed Accessory): Upon receiving a W1 signal from the thermostat, heat is energized. Upon receiving a W2/E signal from the thermostat, electric heat is energized.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
When servicing or repairing this equipment, use only factory­approved service replacement parts. A complete replacement parts list may be obtained by contacting Modine Manufacturing Company. Refer to the rating plate on the appliance for complete appliance model number, serial number, and company address. Any substitution of parts or controls not
approved by the factory will be at the owner’s risk.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to reuse any mechanical or electrical component which has been wet. Such component must be replaced.
IMPORTANT
To check most of the Possible Remedies in the troubleshooting guide listed in Tables 22.1 - 24.1, refer to the applicable sections of the manual.
The routine care and maintenance of this unit will increase longevity, provide for the proper operational performance, and reduce the probability of failure.
Once the unit is operational, it will be necessary to perform certain routine maintenance/service checks. Following is a Maintenance Schedule with the recommended checks. If your unit is equipped with special features, there may be additional checks that are required. Consult Modine for assistance.
The use of torque screwdrivers on panel, cover or component mounting screws is not recommended. Hand-start all screws. If electric drills are used – set at the lowest possible torque.
Coaxial Coil Maintenance – Ground Water Applications
If the system is installed in an area with a known high mineral content (125 P.P.M. or greater), best practice is to establish a periodic maintenance schedule with the owner so the coil can be checked on a regular basis. Should periodic coil cleaning be necessary, use coil cleaning procedures that are compatible with the heat exchanger material and copper water lines.
Generally, with greater water ow rates, the likelihood of scaling reduces. Therefore, the recommended minimum water ow is
1.5 gpm per ton. Recommended minimum ow rate for entering
water temperatures below 50°F is 2.0 gpm per ton.
Keep all air out of the water. An open loop system should be checked to ensure that the well head is not allowing air to
inltrate the water line. Lines should always be airtight. Keep
the system under pressure at all times. It is recommended in open loop systems that the water control valve be placed in the discharge line to prevent loss of pressure during off cycles. Closed loop systems must have positive static pressure.
Coaxial Coil Maintenance – Ground 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, best practice is to establish a periodic maintenance schedule with the owner so the coil can be checked on a regular basis. 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 that are compatible with the heat exchanger material and copper water lines.
Generally, with greater water ow rates, the likelihood of scaling reduces. However, ow rates over 3 gpm per ton can produce
water (or debris) velocities that can erode the heat exchanger wall and ultimately produce leaks.
Desuperheater Coils
If potable water is hard or not chemically softened, the high temperature of the desuperheater can lead to scaling. This results in more scheduled maintenance. A buffer tank may be installed to help prevent scaling. Extreme hard water conditions should not use the desuperheater option. Should periodic coil cleaning be necessary, use coil cleaning procedures that are compatible with the heat exchanger material and copper water lines.
Air Filters
Filters must be clean to obtain maximum performance. They should be inspected monthly under normal operating conditions and be replaced when necessary. Units should never be
operated without a lter.
Condensate Drain
In areas where airborne bacteria produce slime in the drain pan, it may be necessary to treat chemically with an algaecide approximately every three months to minimize the problem. It may be necessary to clean the condensate pan periodically to insure indoor air quality. The condensate drain can pick up lint
and dirt, especially with dirty lters. Inspect twice a year to avoid the possibility of overow.
Compressor
Conduct annual amperage checks to insure that amp draw is no more than 10% greater than indicated on the operating data.
Blower Motors
All units have lubricated fan motors. Do not lubricate unless obvious, dry operation is inspected. Periodic oiling is not required (may lead to excessive dirt buildup & motor failure). Check the operation amperage annually to ensure the amp draw is not greater than 10% of data indicated on the name plate. ECM fan motors need NO oiling.

MAINTENANCE / REPLACEMENT PARTS
Cabinet
If a ood occurs, try to expel water as soon as possible. Water
contact for any duration will cause corrosion on the cabinet
nish. All units mounted on the ground should be installed on
an absorption pad. This also helps prevent water from entering the cabinet. If the cabinet is dirty, do not spray with water, use a damp rag with mild detergent, and wipe the system clean.
Refrigerant System
The refrigerant circuit is sealed, service gauges should not be used unless the system is not operating correctly.
The operational charts show correct pressures, ow and
temperature. Before servicing the refrigerant circuit, ensure that
the water and air ow are correct.

TROUBLESHOOTING
General
When encountering a unit with operational faults, complete these preliminary system checks before utilizing the troubleshooting charts.
In order to maintain system integrity, performance and
efciency, do not install service gauges unless unit operation
appears abnormal and all other diagnostic checks are normal.. Verify water and air side temperatures changes against Typical Operating Data. If the performance is within the ranges in the
table and the air and water ows have been veried, then
gauges may be installed in order to check subcooling and superheat.
1. Verify that the unit and ow center power supplies are on
2. Verify that all fuses or disconnects switches are intact
3. Inspect unit for obvious defects (e.g., leaking connections,
loose or damaged wiring, etc.)
4. Verify eld inputs and outputs (refer to wiring diagram)
a. Thermostat inputs – Thermostat inputs are 24VAC
signals and can be veried using a volt meter between C
and Y, G, O, W.
b. Outputs – Compressor and reversing valve output relays
are 24VAC and can be veried using a voltmeter. The fan, ow center and DHW pump are powered through 240V relays. Operation can be veried using a voltmeter or
clamp-on ammeter.
5. After completing these checks, refer to the troubleshooting
tables on the next pages.
