Safety markings are used frequently throughout this
manual to designate a degree or level of seriousness and
should not be ignored. WARNING indicates a potentially
hazardous situation that if not avoided, could result in
personal injury or death. CAUTION indicates a potentially
hazardous situation that if not avoided, may result in minor
or moderate injury or property damage.
ABOUT THE HEAT PUMP
Your heat pump is a unique, all weather comfort-control
appliance that will heat and cool your home year round
and provide energy saving comfort. It’s an unknown fact
that heat is always in the air, even when the outside
temperature is below freezing. The heat pump uses this
basic law of physics to provide energy saving heat during
the winter months. For example, If the outdoor temperature
is 47° F (8° C), your heat pump can deliver approximately
3.5 units of heat energy per each unit of electrical energy
used, as compared to a maximum of only 1 unit of heat
energy produced with conventional heating systems.
In colder temperatures, the heat pump performs like an air
conditioner run in reverse. Available heat energy outside
the home is absorbed by the refrigerant and exhausted
inside the home. This effi cient process means you only
pay for “moving” the heat from the outdoors to the indoor
area. You do not pay to generate the heat, as is the case
with more traditional furnace designs.
During summer, the heat pump reverses the fl ow of the
heat-absorbing refrigerant to become an energy-effi cient,
central air conditioner. Excess heat energy inside the
home is absorbed by the refrigerant and exhausted
outside the home.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Please refer to the thermostat manufacturer’s User manual
for detailed programming instructions.
Cooling Operation
1. Set the thermostat’s system mode to COOL or AUTO
and change the fan mode to AUTO. See Figure 1
2. Set the temperature selector to the desired
temperature level. The outdoor fan, compressor, and
blower motor will all cycle on and off to maintain the
indoor temperature at the desired cooling level.
NOTE: If the temperature level is re-adjusted, or the
system mode is reset, the fan and compressor in the
outdoor unit may not start immediately. A protective
timer circuit holds the compressor and the outdoor fan
off for approximately 5 minutes following a previous
operation or the interruption of the main electrical
power.
Heating Operation
1. Set the thermostat’s system mode to HEAT or AUTO
and change the fan mode to AUTO. See Figure 1.
2. Set the temperature selector to the desired
temperature level. The compressor, outdoor fan, and
blower motor will cycle on and off to maintain the
indoor temperature at the desired heating level.
NOTE: If the temperature level is re-adjusted, or the
system mode is reset, the fan and compressor in the
outdoor unit may not start immediately. A protective
timer circuit holds the compressor and the outdoor fan
off for approximately 5 minutes following a previous
operation or the interruption of the main electrical
power.
Emergency Heat
Some thermostats may include a system mode called EM
HT or AUX HT, etc. This is a back-up heating mode that
should only be used if a problem is suspected. With the
mode set to EM HT, etc., the compressor and outdoor fan
will be locked off and supplemental heat (electric resistance
heating) will be used as a source of heat. Sustained use
of electric resistance heat in place of the heat pump will
result in an increase in electric utility costs.
Defrost Operation
During cold weather heating operation, the outdoor unit
Fan
Mode

Temperature
Selector
will develop a coating of snow and ice on the heat transfer
coil. This is normal and the unit will defrost itself. This unit
monitors ambient and coil temperatures to regulate the
defrost function accordingly.
Page 5
USER INFORMATION
At the beginning of the defrost cycle, both the outdoor
condenser fan and compressor will turn off. After
approximately 30 seconds, the compressor will turn on
and begin to heat the outdoor coil causing the ice and
snow to melt.
NOTE: While the ice and snow is melting, some steam
may rise from the outdoor unit as the warm coil causes the
melting frost to evaporate. When defrost is completed, the
outdoor fan motor will start, and the compressor will turn
off again. In approximately 30 seconds the compressor
will start up again and continue normal operation.
Operating the Heat Pump for Automatic Cooling
and Heating
1. Set the thermostat system switch to AUTO and the
thermostat fan switch to AUTO. See Figure 1.
NOTE: Thermostat styles vary. Some models will
not include the AUTO mode and others will have the
AUTO in place of the HEAT and COOL. Others may
include all three. Refer to the instructions supplied
with your thermostat for specifi c instructions.
2. Set the thermostat temperature to the desired
temperature level. The outdoor unit and the indoor
blower will then cycle on and off in either the heating or
cooling mode of operation as required to automatically
maintain the indoor temperature within the desired
limits.
Operating the Indoor Blower Continuously
The continuous indoor blower operation is typically used to
circulate the indoor air to equalize a temperature unbalance
due to a sun load, cooking, or fi replace operation.
Set the thermostat fan mode to ON (Figure 1). The indoor
blower starts immediately, and will run continually until
the fan mode is reset to AUTO.
The continuous indoor blower operation can be obtained
with the thermostat system mode set in any position,
including OFF.
Shutting the Heat Pump Off
Change the thermostat’s system mode to OFF and the fan
mode to AUTO. See Figure 1. NOTE: The system will not
operate, regardless of the temperature selector setting.

Unbalanced 3-Phase Supply Voltage
Voltage unbalance occurs when the voltages of all phases
of a 3-phase power supply are no longer equal. This
unbalance reduces motor effi ciency and performance.
Some underlying causes of voltage unbalance may include:
Lack of symmetry in transmission lines, large single-phase
loads, and unbalanced or overloaded transformers. A
motor should never be operated when a phase imbalance
in supply is greater than 2%.
Perform the following steps to determine the percentage
of voltage imbalance:
1. Measure the line
voltages of your 3-phase
Example:
power supply where it
enters the building and
at a location that will
only be dedicated to the
unit installation (at the
AB = 451V
BC = 460V
AC = 453V
units circuit protection
or disconnect).
2. Determine the average voltage in the power supply.
In this example, the measured line voltages were
451, 460, and 453. The average would be 454 volts
(451 + 460 + 453 = 1,364 / 3 = 454).
3. Determine the maximum deviation:
Thermostat Connections
• Ther mostat connections should be made in accordance
with the instructions supplied with the thermostat and
the indoor equipment.
• Single stage or two-stage thermostats can be used
with this equipment depending on optional accessories
(i.e. economizer) installed with the unit. Select a
thermostat that operates in conjunction with the installed
accessories. A typical commercial installation with a
heat pump thermostat and air handler (with & without
an economizer) is shown in Figure 7 (page 17).
• The outdoor unit is designed to operate from a 24 VAC
Class II control circuit. The control circuit wiring must
comply with the current provisions of the NEC (ANSI/
NFPA 70) and with applicable local codes having
jurisdiction.
• The low voltage wires must be properly connected to
the units low voltage terminal block. Recommended
wire gauge and wire lengths for typical thermostat
connections are listed in Table 2.
• The thermostat should be mounted about 5 feet
above the fl oor on an inside wall. DO NOT install the
thermostat on an outside wall or any other location
where its operation may be adversely affected by radiant
heat from fi replaces, sunlight, or lighting fi xtures, and
convective heat from warm air registers or electrical
appliances. Refer to the thermostat manufacturer’s
instruction sheet for detailed mounting and installation
information.
Example:
From the values given in step 1, the BC voltage
(460V) is the greatest difference in value from
the average:
460 - 454 = 6
Highest Value
454 - 451 = 3
454 - 453 = 1
4. Determine percent of
voltage imbalance by
using the results from
steps 2 & 3 in the
following equation.

Defrost Cycle Timer
The defrost cycle timer controls the time interval of the hot
gas defrost after the defrost sensor closes. It is located
in the lower left corner of the defrost control board on the
low voltage side of the control box. Three interval settings
are available: 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 90 minutes.
Time setting selection is dependent on the climate where
the unit is being installed.
• Example 1: Dry climate of Southern Arizona - A 90
minute setting is recommended.
• Example 2: Moist climate of Seattle, Washington - A
30 minute setting is recommended.
10
Page 11
To set the cycle timer, place the timing pin on the defrost
control board to the desired time interval post. NOTE: All
units are shipped from the factory with the default time
setting of 30 minutes.
Defrost Control Board
Operational Information
• Terminals R - C must have 24V present between
them for the time delay and defrost sequences to be
operational.
• Jumping the T2 - DFT test pins will communicate to
the board that the defrost thermostat is closed (if the
compressor is running). The defrost T-stat tells the
board whether a defrost cycle needs to be started or
terminated.
NOTE: The defrost T-stat is closed at 32° F or below
and is open at 68° F or above, but it’s state is unknown
if the temperature is between 32° F and 68° F.
• With the DFT closed, the unit will run for 30/60/90
minutes in heat mode and then defrost the outdoor
coil. The defrost will turn off the outdoor fan, turn on
the compressor, and raise the coil temperature to 68°
F. This will open the DFT and terminate the defrost. If
the DFT does not open, the defrost will end after 10
minutes.
• Jumping the TEST terminal to the C (common) terminal
(while the compressor is in heat mode) will over-ride
the defrost board and initiate a faster defrost test in
5, 10 or 15 seconds as determined by the 30, 60 or
90 minute defrost pin settings (factory setting is 30
minutes).
- This also bypasses the compressor off delay when
the unit goes into defrost test. If unit is kept in defrost
test, the delay will be bypassed when the test is
terminated by the processor.
on the Test to common pins permanently, the defrost
cycle will be inoperable.
Defrost Test Procedure
1. Jumper T2 to DFT at the test terminals.
2. With unit running in heat mode, jump the TEST terminal
to the C (common) terminal near it. The board will
speed up and enter defrost mode in 5/10/15 seconds,
depending on the defrost time selection. Compressor
delay will not function during speed-up. NOTE: Manually
initiating a defrost will cause the compressor to run
continually when entering defrost.
3. This test will end in 5 seconds if the TEST - common
short is not removed.
4. Remove both the short and the T2 to DFT jumper to
terminate the defrost cycle. The 30 second compressor
delay should operate normally.
5. Test is complete, reset thermostat to the equipment
owner's preference.
Optional Electric Heater Kits
Optional fi eld-installed electric heater kits are available in
10 kw through 36 kw heating capacities. Split System Heat
Pumps are designed to allow optional auxiliary electric
heat to be fi eld installed as required by the building’s
particular heating load. The options available for each
unit are shown in the heater kit installation instructions.
Install the heater kits as directed by the instructions
supplied with the heater kit. Follow all cautions and
warnings as directed.
NOTE: If the jumper is removed before the test is over,
the processor will perform the remainder of a normal
defrost as noted above.
• The delay/no-delay pin affects compressor operation
during defrosts. The default setting is delay. To switch
from delay to no-delay, remove the pin from the delay
pin location and move it to the no-delay pin location.
- Scroll compressors that have noise issues while
going into or coming out of defrost should use this
30 second delay to reduce the defrost noise.
Normal Defrost Procedure
To test normal defrost operation when the temperature is
above 35° F, jumper R to DFT on the board and allow the
unit to run for 30 minutes. Defrost will continue until the
R to DFT jumper is removed or for 10 minutes. Remove
the jumper.
The 5 minute time delay feature can be shortened 1 time
to 1 second by jumping the Test to C terminal. Remove
the jumper and repeat as desired.
NOTE: If jumper is left

temperature mode to below room temperature.
2. Verify the outdoor unit and indoor fan stop running.
After 5 minutes, increase the temperature on the
thermostat to it's maximum setting.
3. Verify the outdoor unit and indoor blower energize.
Feel the air being circulated by the indoor blower and
verify that it is warmer than ambient temperature.
Listen for any unusual noises. If unusual sounds
occur, determine the source of the noise and correct
as necessary.
Refrigerant Charging
WARNING:
T5BP Split System Heat Pumps leave the factory
with a 90 oz. (5.63 Lbs.) R410A refrigerant holding
charge. Follow these charging instructions for
maximum unit performance and effi ciency. Some
local codes require licensed installation/service
personnel to service this type of equipment.
Refrigerant charging must be done by qualifi ed
personnel familiar with safe and environmentally
responsible refrigerant handling procedures.
Under no circumstances should the owner
attempt to install and/or service this equipment.
Failure to comply with this warning could result
in property damage, personal injury, or death.

After refrigerant line connections are completed, it is
required that you leak check and evacuate the indoor
section and all line connections (using proper methods)
before fi nalizing the full system refrigerant charge. For
fi nal charges based on matched systems and specifi ed
line lengths, see physical and electrical specifi cations
(Table 4, page 15).
• To achieve rated capacity and effi ciency, the compressor
must be exposed to refrigerant for at least 24 hours
prior to running and then the compressor must be run
for a minimum of 12 hours.
• Cooling mode charging charts are applicable only to
matched assemblies of NORDYNE equipment and
listed airfl ows for the indoor coil. T5BP outdoor units
with indoor coils not listed are not recommended
and deviations from rated airfl ows or non-listed
combinations may require modifi cation to the expansion
device and refrigerant charging procedures for proper
and effi cient system operation. Refer to Figure 8 for
7.5 ton units or Figure 9 for 10 ton units (page 19).
• The refrigerant charge can be checked and adjusted
through the service ports provided external to the
outdoor unit. Use only gage line sets which have
a “Schrader” depression device present to actuate
the valve. A common suction port for heating mode
charging is included and located on the compressor
access panel above the outdoor unit service valves.
• Heat mode verifi cation charts are provided for quick
reference when the unit is in heating mode and for the
inspection of the liquid line pressures and temperatures.
Refer to Figure 10 for 7.5 ton units or Figure 11 for 10
ton units (page 21).
Charging an R410A system in AC mode at outdoor
temperatures above 55° F for optimized sub-cooling of
10° F to 12° F.
1. With the system operating at steady-state, measure
the liquid refrigerant pressure (in PSIG) at the outdoor
unit service valve.
2. Measure the liquid refrigerant temperature (in
Fahrenheit) at the service valve.
3. Determine the required liquid refrigerant pressure
from the appropriate charging chart (Figures 8 or 9).
• If the pressure measured in Step 1 is greater than
the required liquid refrigerant pressure determined in
Step 3, then there is too much charge in the system.
Remove refrigerant and repeat Steps 1 through 3
until the system is correctly charged.
• If the pressure measured in Step 1 is less than the
required liquid refrigerant pressure determined in
Step 3, there is too little charge in the system. Add
refrigerant and repeat Steps 1 through 3 until the
system is correctly charged.

COMPONENT FUNCTIONS
Defrost Control Board
This control includes - 5 minute anti-short cycle timer
protection for Stage 1 Heat/Cool, defrost time interval
selection, and reversing valve, outdoor fan, and auxiliary
heat operation during defrost control. See page 11.
Defrost Temperature Sensor
The switch can be located on either end of the outdoor coil.
The switch is a non-adjustable, sealed, bi-metal sensor
set to open at 68° F and closes at 30° F. When closed,
the compressor run time is accumulated and initiates coil
defrost dependent on time interval selected.
High Pressure Switch (HPS)
A high-pressure switch is factory-installed and located in the
liquid line internal to the outdoor unit. The switch is designed
to protect the system when very high pressures occur
during abnormal conditions. Under normal conditions,
the switch is closed. If the liquid pressure rises above
650 psig, then the switch will open and de-energize the

outdoor unit. The switch will close again once the liquid
pressure decreases to 460 psig. Please note that the switch
interrupts the thermostat inputs to the unit. Thus, when
the switch opens and then closes, there will be a 5 minute
short cycling delay before the outdoor unit will energize.
Low Pressure Switch (LPS)
A low-pressure switch is factory-installed and located in
the suction line internal to the outdoor unit. The switch
is designed to protect the compressor from a loss of
charge. Under normal conditions, the switch is closed. If
the suction pressure falls below 5 psig, then the switch
will open and de-energize the outdoor unit. The switch will
close again once the suction pressure increases above 20
psig. Please note that the switch interrupts the thermostat
inputs to the unit. Thus, when the switch opens and then
closes, there will be a 5 minute short cycling delay before
the outdoor unit will energize.
NOTE: Net capacity includes indoor blower motor heat deduction. Gross capacity does not include indoor blower motor heat deduction.

• This equipment’s cooling system contains refrigerant under high pressure. Always use safe and
environmentally sound methods when handling refrigerant handling or servicing the unit. Review the
factory literature and safety warnings prior to servicing.
• When repairing system leakages, always use a nitrogen (inert) gas to protect the refrigerant system and pressure
check the repair before re-charging. Always replace the fi lter-dryers when performing any repair to the refrigeration
system with one capable of acid removal. After completing the repairs, evacuate the system to 350 - 500 microns
and weigh in the refrigerant to the amount specifi ed on the unit rating label.
• All T5BP-090/120 units are shipped from the factory with a 90 oz. holding charge refrigerant. Inspect the unit
rating label to determine the units information prior to working on the system. DO NOT mix different refrigerants
or charge the unit with a refrigerant not listed on the unit rating label.
• Charging charts are valid for a variety of indoor, return air conditions and are most infl uenced by the outdoor
ambient temperature, outdoor fan operation and the unit operating voltage. Before using these charts, make
sure the unit is in a stable operating mode. As shown in the charging charts (Figures 8 or 9, page 19), the ideal
system sub-cooling can vary over the range of operation. Reference the charts to determine the ideal amount of
sub-cooling for a given liquid pressure. Units charged to other values will not perform at the rated unit effi ciency
(EER) or rated Coeffi cient of Performance (COP) in heating mode.
• To inspect a systems operation, using quality instruments, match the measured liquid temperature to the units
chart. The measured liquid pressure reading should be within 3% of the charts value for most installations.
• For systems that are operating with more than a 5% deviation, inspect the unit for the proper voltage and phase
balance and the refrigeration system for leaks.
• Units that are operating at less then 95% of the nominal voltage or with a 2% phase imbalance may see a more
signifi cant deviation than the amount stated above.
• DO NOT use the charts in systems that have a fan cycling under low-ambient control. Refer to the low-ambient
kit instructions for more information. (If applicable)

T5BP HEAT MODE VERIFICATION CHARTS - HEATING ONLY
Application Notes on the use of Heating-mode charge verifi cation charts:
• Read all notes and warnings for the Cooling-mode charging charts prior to using these Heating-mode
charge verifi cation charts. Always use safe and environmentally sound methods when handling refrigerant
handling or servicing the unit. Review the factory literature and safety warnings prior to servicing.
• When repairing system leakages, always use a nitrogen (inert) gas to protect the refrigerant system and pressure
check the repair before re-charging. Always replace the fi lter-dryers when performing any repair to the refrigeration
system with one capable of acid removal. After completing the repairs, evacuate the system to 350 - 500 microns
and weigh in the refrigerant to the amount specifi ed on the unit rating label.
• All T5BP-090/120 units are shipped from the factory with accumulators installed in the refrigeration system and
a 90 oz. factory holding charge.
• Before using the heat mode verifi cation charts (Figures 10 or 11, page 21), determine the outdoor ambient
temperature and the return air temperature to the unit. Locate the appropriate location on the units verifi cation
chart based on those measurements to determine the ideal liquid line pressure and temperature. Verify the outdoor
fan and compressor are running and the outdoor coil is free from frost accumulation. Also verify the system is
not operating in defrost mode before inspecting the system. NOTE: If the unit is equipped with an economizer,
determine the mixed air temperature entering the fi lters.
• Always use quality instruments that are in good working order to measure the actual operating point of the
refrigeration system. The liquid line temperature should be within 2 degrees of the ideal value and the pressure
should be within 2%.
• The most reliable way of verifying the system is at the correct charge is to evacuate the system and weigh in the
charge to the amount shown on the rating label. However, if an inspection with these verifi cation charts does not
line up with the values shown and the ambient temperature is above 50˚ F, then a more accurate way to inspect
the system for proper charge is with the cooling mode charging charts. Switch the unit into cooling mode and
allow it to operate and stabilize for a few minutes then inspect the unit operation with the cooling mode charts
and procedures.
Before changing the unit charge, always inspect the following items fi rst:
1. Inspect the liquid line temperature on the inlet and outlet of the fi lter dryers. If it is the factory dryer and in good
condition there should be no temperature difference. If the ΔT is larger than 5˚, replace the fi lter dryer with one
that is bi-directional and has acid removal capability. Refer to the unit RPL for the recommended part number
and size.
2. Inspect the units input voltage. Units operating at less than 95% of the nominal voltage may deviate more from
the chart then previously stated.
3. Inspect the input voltage for a phase imbalance. Units with greater then a 2% disparity will not operate at the
rated performance.
4. Verify that the unit fi lters are installed and are clean. The pressure drop across the fi lters should not exceed 0.08
in-W.C.
5. Inspect the indoor coil, indoor blower and blower motor for cleanliness, clogging, and proper operation. Verify
the drive belt is in good condition and properly tightened.
6. Inspect the system for leaks. If a leak cannot be located the system charge is probably correct. Re-inspect the
return air and ambient temperatures and verify that the correct system point on the verifi cation chart was selected.
DO NOT use the charts in systems that have the fan cycling under a low-ambient control. Low-ambient controls are
for cooling operation. In heating mode, the low ambient control should be disabled. Unless the unit is in defrost mode,
the outdoor fan should always operate in conjunction with the compressor.
