If your installation does not meet the above requirements, you must use traditional 24VAC controls.
This installation instruction manual contains complete instructions for installation and setup using Comfort Control
2
or conventional 24VAC controls. Please refer to the Engineering Specification Sheets for complete performance data, thermostat, and accessory listings.
The information contained in this manual has been prepared to assist in the proper installation, operation and maintenance of the air conditioning system. Improper installation, or installation not made in accordance with these instructions, can result in unsatisfactory operation and/or dangerous conditions (noise and compo­nent failure), and can cause the related warranty not to apply.
Read this manual and any instructions packaged with separate equipment required to make up the system prior to installation. Retain this manual for future reference.
To achieve optimum efficiency and capacity, the indoor cooling coils listed in the condensing unit specification sheet should be used.
2.1 CHECKING PRODUCT RECEIVED
Upon receiving unit, inspect it for any shipping damage. Claims for damage, either apparent or concealed, should be filed immediately with the shipping company. Check condensing unit model number, electrical characteristics and accessories to determine if they are correct. Check system components (evaporator coil, condens­ing unit, evaporator blower, etc.) to make sure they are properly matched.
2.2 APPLICATION
Before specifying any air conditioning equipment, a survey of the structure and a heat gain calculation must be made. A heat gain calculation begins by measuring all external surfaces and openings that gain heat from the surrounding air and quantifying that heat gain. A heat gain calculation also calculates the extra heat load caused by sunlight and by humidity removal.
Air conditioning systems are sized on the cooling load calculation. There are two capacities that enable the equipment to provide comfort. The first is sensible capacity.
Sensible heat is the heat energy measured on the dry bulb thermometer as it is added or removed.
The second form of heat is called latent or hidden heat. This is heat held in the humidity in the air.
A properly-sized unit removes both forms of heat, producing a comfortable living space. An oversized system cycles on and off too quickly and does not properly remove humidity, producing an uncomfortable living space. Select the indoor and outdoor equipment combination based on the manufacturer’s engineering data.
After the equipment combination has been selected, satisfying both sensible and latent conditioning requirements, the system must be properly installed. Only then can the unit provide the comfort the manufacturer intends.
There are several factors that the installers must consider:
• Outdoor unit location • Proper equipment evacuation
• System refrigerant charge • Indoor unit airflow
• Indoor unit blower speed • Supply and return air duct design and sizing
• System air balancing • Diffuser and return air grille location and sizing

2.5 PROPER INSTALLATION
Proper sizing and installation of this equipment is critical to achieve optimal perfor­mance. Use the information in this Installation Instruction Manual and reference the applicable Engineering Specification Sheet when installing this product.
IMPORTANT: This product has been designed and manufactured to meet ENER­G
Y STAR
®
c
riteria for energy efficiency when matched with appropriate coil compo­nents. However, proper refrigerant charge and proper airflow are critical to achieve rated capacity and efficiency. Installation of this product should follow the manufac­turer’s refrigerant charging and airflow instructions. Failure to confirm proper
charge and airflow may reduce energy efficiency and shorten equipment life.
3.0 LOCATING UNIT
3.1 Corrosive Environment
The metal parts of this unit may be subject to rust or deterioration if exposed to a corrosive environment. This oxidation could shorten the equipment’s useful life. Corrosive elements include, but are not limited to, salt spray, fog or mist in seacoast areas, sulphur or chlorine from lawn watering systems, and various chemical conta­minants from industries such as paper mills and petroleum refineries.
If the unit is to be installed in an area where contaminants are likely to be a prob­lem, special attention should be given to the equipment location and exposure.
Avoid having lawn sprinkler heads spray directly on the unit cabinet.
In coastal areas, locate the unit on the side of the building away from the water-
front.
Shielding provided by a fence or shrubs may give some protection, but cannot
violate minimum airflow and service access clearances.
Elevating the unit off its slab or base enough to allow air circulation will help
avoid holding water against the basepan.
Regular maintenance will reduce the build-up of contaminants and help to protect the unit’s finish.
Frequent washing of the cabinet, fan blade and coil with fresh water will remove
most of the salt or other contaminants that build up on the unit.
Regular cleaning and waxing of the cabinet with a good automobile polish will
provide some protection.
A good liquid cleaner may be used several times a year to remove matter that
will not wash off with water.
Several different types of protective coatings are offered in some areas. These coatings may provide some benefit, but the effectiveness of such coating materials cannot be verified by the equipment manufacturer.

3.3 Operational Issues
IMPORTANT: Locate the unit in a manner that will not prevent, impair or com­promise the performance of other equipment horizontally installed in proximity to the unit. Maintain all required minimum distances to gas and electric meters, d
ryer vents, exhaust and inlet openings. In the absence of National Codes, or manufacturers’ recommendations, local code recommendations and require­ments will take precedence.
Refrigerant piping and wiring should be properly sized and kept as short as possible to avoid capacity losses and increased operating costs.
Locate the unit where water run off will not create a problem with the equip­ment. Position the unit away from the drip edge of the roof whenever possible. Units are weatherized, but can be affected by the following:
o Water pouring into the unit from the junction of rooflines, without protective
guttering. Large volumes of water entering the heat pump while in operation can impact fan blade or motor life, and coil damage may occur to a heat pump if moisture cannot drain from the unit under freezing conditions.
o Freezing moisture, or sleeting conditions, can cause the cabinet to ice-over
prematurely and prevent heat pump operation, requiring backup heat, which generally results in less economical operation.
Closely follow clearance recommendations on Page 6. o 24” to the service panel access o 60” above heat pump fan discharge (unit top) to prevent recirculation o 6” to heat pump coil grille air inlets
3.4 For Units With Space Limitations
FOR CONDENSERS WITH SPACE LIMITATIONS
In the event that a space limitation exists, we will permit the following clearances:
Single Unit Applications: Clearances below 6 inches will reduce unit capacity and efficiency. Do not reduce the 60-inch discharge, or the 24-inch service clearances.
Multiple Unit Applications: When multiple condenser grille sides are aligned, a 6­inch per unit clearance is recommended, for a total of 12” between two units. Two combined clearances below 12 inches will reduce capacity and efficiency. Do not reduce the 60-inch discharge, or 24-inch service, clearances.
3.5 Customer Satisfaction Issues
The condensing unit should be located away from the living, sleeping and recreational spaces of the owner and those spaces on adjoining property.
To prevent noise transmission, the mounting pad for the outdoor unit should not be connected to the structure, and should be located sufficient distance above grade to prevent ground water from entering the unit.
3.6 Unit Mounting
If elevating the condensing unit, either on a flat roof or on a slab, observe the following guidelines.
The base pan provided elevates the heat pump 3/4” above the base pad.
If elevating a unit on a flat roof, use 4” x 4” (or equivalent) stringers positioned to distribute unit weight evenly and prevent noise and vibration (see Figure 2).
NOTE: Do not block drain openings shown in Figure 1.
3.7 Factory-Preferred Tie-Down Method
INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: These instructions are intended as a guide to securing equipment for wind-load ratings of “120 MPH sustained wind load” and “3-second, 150 MPH gust.” While this procedure is not mandatory, the Manufacturer does recommend that equipment be properly secured in areas where high wind damage may occur.
STEP 1: Before installing, clear pad of any dirt or debris.
IMPORTANT: The pad must be constructed of industry-approved materials, and must be thick enough to accommodate the concrete fastener.
STEP 2: Center base pan on pad, ensuring it is level.
8
Page 9
STEP 3: Using basepad as a guide, mark spots on concrete where 4 holes will be
drilled (see Figure 3).
STEP 4: Drill four pilot holes in pad, ensuring that the hole is at least 1/4” deeper
than the concrete screw being used. STEP 5: Center basepan over pre-drilled holes and insert concrete screws. STEP 6: Tighten concrete screws.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten the concrete screws. Doing so can weaken the
integrity of the concrete screw and cause it to break. STEP 7: Finish unit assembly per unit’s installation instructions.
4.0 REFRIGERANT CONNECTIONS
All units are factory charged with Refrigerant 410A. All models are supplied with service valves. Keep tube ends sealed until connection is to be made to prevent system contamination.

Page 10
4.2 Specifications of R-410A:
Application: R-410A is not a drop-in replacement for R-22; equipment designs must accommodate its higher pressures. It cannot be retrofitted into R-22 heat pumps.
Physical Properties: R-410A has an atmospheric boiling point of -62.9°F and its saturation pressure at 77°F is 224.5 psig.
Composition: R-410A is an azeotropic mixture of 50% by weight difluoromethane (HFC-32) and 50% by weight pentafluoroethane (HFC-125).
Pressure: The pressure of R-410A is approximately 60% (1.6 times) greater than R-22. Recovery and recycle equipment, pumps, hoses and the like need to
have design pressure ratings appropriate for R-410A. Manifold sets need to range up to 800 psig high-side and 250 psig low-side with a 550 psig low-side retard. Hoses need to have a service pressure rating of 800 psig. Recovery cylinders need to have a 400 psig service pressure rating. DOT 4BA400 or DOT BW400.
Combustibility: At pressures above 1 atmosphere, mixture of R-410A and air can become combustible. R-410A and air should never be mixed in tanks or supply
lines, or be allowed to accumulate in storage tanks. Leak checking should never be done with a mixture of R-410A and air. Leak checking can be per-
formed safely with nitrogen or a mixture of R-410A and nitrogen.
4.3 Quick Reference Guide For R-410A
• R-410A refrigerant operates at approximately 60% higher pressure (1.6 times) than R-22. Ensure that servicing equipment is designed to operate with R-410A.
• R-410A refrigerant cylinders are pink in color.
• R-410A, as with other HFC’s is only compatible with POE oils.

• Vacuum pumps will not remove moisture from oil.
• R-410A systems are to be charged with liquid refrigerants. Prior to March 1999, R-410A refrigerant cylinders had a dip tube. These cylinders should be kept upright for equipment charging. Post March 1999 cylinders do not have a dip tube and should be inverted to ensure liquid charging of the equipment.
• Do not install a suction line filter drier in the liquid line.
• A liquid line filter drier is standard on every unit. Only manufacturer approved liq­uid line filter driers can be used. These are Sporlan (CW083S) and Alco (80K083S) driers. These filter driers are rated for minimum working pressure of 600 psig.
• Desiccant (drying agent) must be compatible for POE oils and R-410A.
5.0 REPLACEMENT UNITS
To prevent failure of a new condensing unit, the existing evaporator tubing system must be correctly sized and cleaned or replaced. Care must be exercised that the expansion device is not plugged. For new and replacement units, a liquid line filter drier should be installed and refrigerant tubing should be properly sized. Test the oil for acid. If positive, a suction line filter drier is mandatory.
IMPORTANT: WHEN REPLACING AN R-22 UNIT WITH AN R-410A UNIT, EITHER REPLACE THE LINE SET OR ENSURE THAT THE EXISTING LINE SET IS THOROUGHLY CLEANED OF ANY OLD OIL OR DEBRIS.
6.0 INDOOR COIL
REFER TO INDOOR COIL MANUFACTURER’S INSTALLATION INSTRUC­TIONS.
IMPORTANT: The manufacturer is not responsible for the performance and opera-
tion of a mismatched system, or for a match listed with another manufacturer’s coil.
NOTE: All (-)ASL units must be installed with a TXV Evaporator.
The thermostatic expansion valve is specifically designed to operate with R-410A.
DO NOT use an R-22 TXV or evaporator. The existing evaporator must be replaced with the factory specified TXV evaporator specifically designed for R-410A.
6.1 Location
Do not install the indoor coil in the return duct system of a gas or oil furnace. Provide a service inlet to the coil for inspection and cleaning. Keep the coil pitched toward the drain connection.
7.0 INTERCONNECTING TUBING
7.1 Vapor and Liquid Lines
Keep all lines sealed until connection is made.
Make connections at the indoor coil first.
11
!
CAUTION
Only use evaporators approved for use on R-410A systems. Use of existing R-22 evaporators can introduce mineral oil to the R-410A refrigerant forming two differ­ent liquids and decreasing oil return to the compressor. This can result in com­pressor failure.

Refer to Line Size Information in Tables 3, 4, 5 and 6 for correct size and multipliers to be used to determine capacity for various vapor line diameters and lengths of run. The losses due to the lines being exposed to outdoor conditions are not included.
The factory refrigeration charge in the outdoor unit is sufficient for 15 feet of inter­connecting lines. The factory refrigeration charge in the outdoor unit is sufficient for the unit and 15 feet of standard size interconnecting liquid and vapor lines. For dif­ferent lengths, adjust the charge as indicated below.
1/4” ± .3 oz. per foot 5/16” ± .4 oz. per foot 3/8” ± .6 oz. per foot 1/2” ± 1.2 oz. per foot
7.2 Maximum Length of Lines
The maximum length of interconnecting line is 150 feet. Always use the shortest length possible with a minimum number of bends. Additional compressor oil is not required for any length up to 150 feet.
NOTE: Excessively long refrigerant lines cause loss of equipment capacity.
7.3 Outdoor Unit Installed Above or Below Indoor Coil
Use the following guidelines when installing the unit:
1. Expansion Valve Coil: a. The vertical separation cannot exceed the value in Tables 4, 5, and 6. b. No changes are required for expansion valve coils.
2. It is recommended to use the smallest liquid line size permitted to minimize the system charge.
3. Tables 4, 5, and 6 may be used for sizing horizontal runs.
7.4 Tubing Installation
Observe the following when installing correctly sized type “L” refrigerant tubing between the condensing unit and evaporator coil:
If a portion of the liquid line passes through a hot area where liquid refrigerant can be heated to form vapor, insulating the liquid line is required.
Use clean, dehydrated, sealed refrigeration grade tubing.
Always keep tubing sealed until tubing is in place and connections are to be made.

Blow out the liquid and vapor lines with dry nitrogen before connecting to the outdoor unit and indoor coil. Any debris in the line set will end up plugging the expansion device.
As an added precaution, a high quality filter drier is standard on R-410A units.
Do not allow the vapor line and liquid line to be in contact with each other. This causes an undesirable heat transfer resulting in capacity loss and increased power consumption. The vapor line must be insulated.
If tubing has been cut, make sure ends are deburred while holding in a position to prevent chips from falling into tubing. Burrs such as those caused by tubing cutters can affect performance dramatically, particularly on small liquid line sizes.

For best operation, keep tubing run as short as possible with a minimum num­ber of elbows or bends.
Locations where the tubing will be exposed to mechanical damage should be a
voided. If it is necessary to use such locations, the copper tubing should be
housed to prevent damage.
If tubing is to be run underground, it must be run in a sealed watertight chase.
Use care in routing tubing and do not kink or twist. Use a good tubing bender on the vapor line to prevent kinking.
Route the tubing using temporary hangers, then straighten the tubing and install permanent hangers. Line must be adequately supported.
The vapor line must be insulated to prevent dripping (sweating) and prevent performance losses. Armaflex and Rubatex are satisfactory insulations for this purpose. Use 1/2” minimum insulation thickness, additional insulation may be required for long runs.
Check Table 3 for the correct vapor line size. Check Table 4 for the correct liq­uid line size.
7.5 Tubing Connections
Indoor coils have only a holding charge of dry nitrogen. Keep all tube ends sealed until connections are to be made.
Use type “L” copper refrigeration tubing. Braze the connections with the follow­ing alloys:
– copper to copper - 5% – Silver alloy (no flux) – copper to steel or brass - 35% – silver alloy (with flux)
Be certain both refrigerant shutoff valves at the outdoor unit are closed.
Clean the inside of the fittings and outside of the tubing with steel wool or sand cloth before soldering. Always keep chips, steel wool, dirt, etc., out of the inside when cleaning.
Assemble tubing part way into fitting. Apply flux all around the outside of the tubing and push tubing into stop. This procedure will keep the flux from getting inside the system.
Remove the cap and schrader core from service port to protect seals from heat damage.
Use an appropriate heatsink material around the copper stub and the service valves before applying heat.
IMPORTANT: Do not braze any fitting with the TEV sensing bulb attached.
Braze the tubing between the outdoor unit and indoor coil. Flow dry nitrogen into a service port and through the tubing while brazing.
After brazing – use an appropriate heatsink material to cool the joint and remove any flux residue.
The service valves are not backseating valves. To open the valves, remove the valve cap with an adjustable wrench. Insert a 3/16” or 5/16” hex wrench into the stem. Back out counterclockwise.
Replace the valve cap finger tight then tighten an additional 1/2 hex flat for a metal-to-metal seal.
7.6 Leak Testing
Pressurize line set and coil through service fittings with dry nitrogen to 150 PSIG maximum. Leak test all joints using liquid detergent. If a leak is found, recover pressure and repair.
!
WARNING
DO NOT USE OXYGEN TO PURGE LINES OR PRESSURIZE SYSTEM FOR LEAK TE ST. OXYGEN REACTS VIOLEN TLY WITH OIL, WHICH CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION RESULTING IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

8.0 DUAL DRIVE COMPRESSORS
The -039, -048, & -060 condensing units contain two compressors to deliver maxi­mum efficiency and comfort. The Dual Drive Compressors are sized to increase run times at first stage operation (partial capacity). When additional capacity is needed, a two stage thermostat energizes both compressors to deliver full rated capacity.
8.1 Compressor Identification
The individual compressors are identified as Compressor A and Compressor B. When facing the access panel, Compressor A is on the left and Compressor B is on the right. (See Figure 4.)
8.2 Comfort Control2System™ Control Identification
The Dual Drive condensing units use one (1) serial communicating control per com­pressor. There is a label in the control box that identifies each control/compressor combination. When facing the access panel, Compressor A is controlled by the left­hand board and Compressor B is controlled by the right-hand board.
16
FIGURE 5
FIGURE 4
DUAL DRIVE COMPRESSORS
COMPRESSOR A COMPRESSOR B
Page 17
8.3 Comfort Control2System™ Control Operation
A Dual Drive unit has two controls instead of a single control. A Dual Drive control is the same as any residential communicating control. Therefore, the features such as fault recall and the operation of the test button are the same as any JEC control.
The two controls are identical and interchangeable. This allows the controls to be swapped for troubleshooting if one of the controls is suspected of being defective.
Only one of the controls can be connected to a communicating network. The control that is connected to the communications network is the primary control. It is located on the left hand side when facing the unit. The primary control puts out a 24 VAC signal to the secondary control when second stage is called for.
Each control will have a separate history of faults (up to 6) which can be accessed b
y pressing the “Test” and “SW2” buttons. Only the primary control fault history can
be accessed by a service tool or the thermostat.
As with any JEC unit, the airflow will be automatically optimized when the system is used in communicating mode. If a conventional thermostat is used with the system, the dipswitches in the air handler must be set to provide the correct airflow.
9.0 COMPRESSOR CRANKCASE HEAT (CCH)
CCH is standard on these models due to refrigerant migration during the off cycle that can result in a noisy start up.
Crankcase Heater Operation:
Supplemental Crankcase heat is required to prevent refrigerant migration in sys­tems with relatively high system refrigerant charges. Each Dual Drive compressor has its own crankcase heater.
The crankcase heater control is integrated into the Comfort Control
2
System™ and
is designed for maximum energy savings.
Summary of operation:
• The crankcase heater is off whenever the compressor is running.
• Once the compressor turns off, the crankcase heater control (CCH) begins the
two-hour timer countdown.
• If the compressor stays off for two hours, the CCH turns on the crankcase heater.
All heaters are located on the lower half of the compressor shell. Its purpose is to drive refrigerant from the compressor shell during long off cycles, thus preventing damage to the compressor during start-up.
At initial start-up or after extended shutdown periods, make sure the heater is ener­gized for at least 12 hours before the compressor is started. (Disconnect switch on and wall thermostat off.)
10.0 HARD START COMPONENTS
Factory-installed start components are standard on all models.
11.0 HIGH AND LOW PRESSURE CONTROLS
10.0 (HPC AND LPC)
These controls keep the compressor from operating in pressure ranges which can cause damage to the compressor. Both controls are in the low voltage control cir­cuit.
High pressure control (HPC) is an automatic-reset which opens near 610 PSIG and closes near 420 PSIG.
The low pressure control (LPC) is an automatic-reset which opens near 50 PSIG and closes near 95 PSIG.
NOTE: HPC and LPC are monitored by the Comfort Control2System™. See Section 12.0.

11.1 Evacuation Procedure
Evacuation is the most important part of the entire service procedure. The life and efficiency of the equipment is dependent upon the thoroughness exercised by the s
erviceman when evacuating air and moisture from the system.
Air in the system causes high condensing temperatures and pressure, resulting in increased power input and non-verifiable performance.
Moisture chemically reacts with the refrigerant and oil to form corrosive hydrofluoric and hydrochloric acids. These attack motor windings and parts, causing breakdown.
After the system has been leak checked and proven sealed, connect the vacuum pump and evacuate system to 500 microns. The vacuum pump must be connected to both the high and low sides of the system through adequate connections. Use the largest size connections available since restrictive service connections may lead to false readings because of pressure drop through the fittings.
IMPORTANT: Compressors (especially scroll type) should never be used to evacu­ate the air conditioning system because internal electrical arcing may result in a damaged or failed compressor.
With thermostat in the “Off” position, turn the power on to the furnace and the heat pump. Start the heat pump and the furnace with the thermostat. Make sure the blower is operating.

Comfort Control2thermostat The four 18AWG low voltage control wires must be installed from the thermostat to
the indoor unit and from indoor unit to the outdoor unit. The wire length between the thermostat and indoor unit should not be greater than 100 feet. The wire length between the indoor unit and outdoor unit should not be greater than 125 feet.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT::
If the installed system does not meet these requirements, the sys­tem must be wired using traditional control wiring, reference Section 12.7 Conventional 24VAC Thermostat Control Wiring.
Serial communications require four (4) control wires for unit operation:
R – 24VAC C – 24VAC common 1 – Data wire 1 2 – Data wire 2
NNoottee::
Comfort Control2System™ requires 18 AWG thermostat wire.
NNoottee::
Term dipswitches should be in ON position.
If the low voltage control wiring is run in conduit with the power supply, Class I insu­lation is required. Class II insulation is required if run separate. Low voltage wiring may be run through the insulated bushing provided in the 7/8 hole in the base panel, up to and attached to the pigtails from the bottom of the control box. Conduit can be run to the base panel if desired by removing the insulated bushing.
The serial communicating air handler or serial communicating furnace transformer is equipped with a 24 volt, 50 VA transformer for proper system operation. See the wiring diagram in Figure 5 for reference.

If the low voltage control wiring is run in conduit with the power supply, Class I insu­lation is required. Class II insulation is required if run separate. Low voltage wiring may be run through the insulated bushing provided in the 7/8 hole in the base panel, up to and attached to the pigtails from the bottom of the control box. Conduit can be run to the base panel if desired by removing the insulated bushing.
A thermostat and a 24-volt, 40VA minimum transformer are required for the control circuit of the condensing unit. The furnace or the air handler transformer may be used if sufficient. See the wiring diagram for reference. Use Table 6 to size the 24­volt control wirings.

• Enter TEST mode by pressing the TEST button with an insulated probe for one (1) second and release.
• The TEST mode causes the ICC to do the following
1) Resets the ICC from any active protection lockout mode
2) Resets the 3-minute anti-short cycle timer
3) Energizes the unit without a call for unit operation
• If the 3-minute anti-short cycle timer or 30 second minimum run timer is active (a flashing “c” or “C” is displayed on the dual 7-segment LEDs) and a call for unit operation is present, TEST mode causes:
1) A “t” to display momentarily on the dual 7-segment display
Lower case “t”
2) The compressor will start
3) The display will change to a steady “c” or “C” to show the current call for unit
operation.
Note: If a call for unit operation is present at the end of TEST mode will cause the unit to continue to operate.
• If no call for unit operation is present, TEST mode causes
1) A steady “t” appears on the dual 7-segment LEDs
2) The compressor will start
3) The compressor will turn off after 5-seconds.
Note: Entering TEST mode without a call for unit operation will cause the com­pressor to run 5-seconds.

13.0 ELECTRICAL WIRING
Field wiring must comply with the National Electric Code (C.E.C. in Canada) and any applicable local code.
13.1 Power Wiring
It is important that proper electrical power from a commercial utility is available at the condensing unit contactor. Voltage ranges for operation are shown in Table 7.
Install a branch circuit disconnect within sight of the unit and of adequate size to handle the starting current (see Table 1).
Power wiring must be run in a rain-tight conduit. Conduit must be run through the connector panel below the access cover (see Figure 1) and attached to the bottom of the control box.
Connect power wiring to line voltage lug located in outdoor condensing unit electri­cal box. (See wiring diagram attached to unit access panel.)
Check all electrical connections, including factory wiring within the unit and make sure all connections are tight.
DO NOT connect aluminum field wire to the contactor terminals.
13.2 Grounding
A grounding lug is provided near the contactor for a ground wire.
13.3 Control Wiring
If the low voltage control wiring is run in conduit with the power supply, Class I insu­lation is required. Class II insulation is required if run separate. Low voltage wiring may be run through the insulated bushing provided in the 7/8 hole in the base panel, up to and attached to the pigtails from the bottom of the control box. Conduit can be run to the base panel if desired by removing the insulated bushing.

A thermostat and a 24 volt, 40 VA minimum transformer are required for the control circuit of the condensing unit. The furnace or the air handler transformer may be used if sufficient. See the wiring diagram for reference. Use Table 6 to size the 24 volt control wiring.
14.0 START-UP AND PERFORMANCE
Even though the unit is factory charged with Refrigerant-410A, the charge must be c
hecked to the charge table attached to the service panel and adjusted, if required.
Allow a minimum of 5 minutes of run time before analyzing charge.
At initial start-up or after extended shutdown periods, make sure the heater is ener­gized for at least 12 hours before the compressor is started. (Disconnect switch on and wall thermostat off.) Connect the communicating system per Figure 5. Once all devices are connected, power up the line and low voltage to the system. When all devices are powered, the thermostat should detect the indoor and outdoor units within 45 seconds.
15.0 CHECKING AIRFLOW
The air distribution system has the greatest effect on airflow. The duct system is totally controlled by the contractor. For this reason, the contractor should use only industry-recognized procedures.
The correct air quantity is critical to air conditioning systems. Proper operation, effi­ciency, compressor life, and humidity control depend on the correct balance between indoor load and outdoor unit capacity. Excessive indoor airflow increases the possibility of high humidity problems. Low indoor airflow reduces total capacity, and causes coil icing. Serious harm can be done to the compressor by low airflow, such as that caused by refrigerant flooding.
Heat pump systems require a specified airflow. Each ton of cooling requires between 340 and 450 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM).
Duct design and construction should be carefully done. System performance can be lowered dramatically through bad planning or workmanship.
Air supply diffusers must be selected and located carefully. They must be sized and positioned to deliver treated air along the perimeter of the space. If they are too small for their intended airflow, they become noisy. If they are not located properly, they cause drafts. Return air grilles must be properly sized to carry air back to the blower. If they are too small, they also cause noise.
The installers should balance the air distribution system to ensure proper quiet air­low to all rooms in the home. This ensures a comfortable living space.
These simple mathematical formulas can be used to determine the CFM in a resi­dential or light commercial system.
Electric resistance heaters can use
CFM =
volts x amps x 3.414
1.08 x temp rise
Gas furnaces can use
CFM =
BTUH
T x 1.08
An air velocity meter or airflow hood can give a more accurate reading of the sys­tem CFM’s.
16.0 CHECKING REFRIGERANT CHARGE
Charge for all systems should be checked against the Charging Chart inside the access panel cover. Before using the chart, the indoor conditions must be within 2°F of desired comfort conditions and system must be run until operating conditions stabilize (15 min. to 30 min.)
Page 36
36
IMPORTANT: Use industry-approved charging methods to ensure proper system charge.
16.1 Charging Units With R-410A Refrigerant
Charge for all systems should be checked against the Charging Chart inside the access panel cover.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the compressor without charge in system.
A
ddition of R-410A will raise pressures (vapor, liquid and discharge).
If adding R-410A raises both vapor pressure and temperature, the unit is over­charged.
IMPORTANT: Use industry-approved charging methods to ensure proper system charge.
16.2 Charging By Liquid Pressure
Liquid pressure method is used for charging systems in the cooling and heating mode. The service port on the liquid service valve (small valve) and suction (large valve) is used for this purpose.
Verify that the outdoor unit is running and the indoor air mover is delivering the maximum airflow for this system size. Read and record the outdoor ambient tem­perature. Read and record the liquid and suction pressures at the ports on the liquid and suction valves. If refrigerant lines are sized using the nameplate charge, the correct liquid pressure is found at the intersection of the suction pressure and the outdoor ambient.
1. Remove refrigerant charge if the liquid pressure is above the chart value.
2. Add refrigerant charge if the liquid pressure is below the chart value.
16.3 Charging By Weight
For a new installation, evacuation of interconnecting tubing and indoor coil is ade­quate; otherwise, evacuate the entire system. Use the factory charge shown in Table 1 of these instructions or unit data plate. Note that charge value includes charge required for 15 ft. of standard size interconnecting liquid line. Calculate actu­al charge required with installed liquid line size and length using:
1/4” O.D. = .3 oz./ft. 5/16” O.D. = .4 oz./ft. 3/8” O.D. = .6 oz./ft. 1/2” O.D. = 1.2 oz./ft.
With an accurate scale (+/– 1 oz.) or volumetric charging device, adjust charge dif­ference between that shown on the unit data plate and that calculated for the new system installation. If the entire system has been evacuated, add the total calculat­ed charge.
16.4 Final Leak Testing
After the unit has been properly evacuated and charged, a halogen leak detector should be used to detect leaks in the system. All piping within the condensing unit, evaporator, and interconnecting tubing should be checked for leaks. If a leak is detected, the refrigerant should be recovered before repairing the leak. The Clean Air Act prohibits releasing refrigerant into the atmosphere.

MPORTANT: The JEC series units with the ICC (Integrated Compressor Control)
provide status and diagnostic information that greatly enhances the ability to quickly diagnose system faults. Use the following troubleshooting guides as another tool in system diagnostics.
NOTE: In diagnosing common faults in the cooling system, develop a logical thought pattern as used by experienced technicians. The charts which follow are not intended to be an answer to all problems but only to guide the technician’s trouble shooting. Through a series of yes and no answers, follow the logical path to a likely conclusion.
A novice technician should use these charts like a road map. Remember that the chart should clarify a logical path to the solution.

If the communications wires are wired backwards at any point the greem LED (D52) will always be on. If this happens check the wires at each point to ensure they are not reversed.
Once all devices are connected power up the line and low voltage to the system. When all devices are powered the thermostat should detect the indoor and outdoor units within 60 seconds. The air handler and outdoor units have a set of bias dip­switches set at a factory default to the ON position. These dipswitches are for future use DO NOT CHANGE DIP SWITCHES.
Once the system is powered the airflow settings will be configured for all devices. The outdoor unit will send information to configure indoor airflow. If the indoor unit is incapable of supplying the required airflow a d3 fault will be displayed on the ther­mostat and outdoor unit.
All devices have a LEARN button. This button is for future use and has no function at this time.

18.2 REPLACEMENT OF COMFORT CONTROL2SYSTEM™ CONTROL
18.2 BOARD
Each control board in the Comfort Control2System™ needs information specific to the unit the control is installed in. This information is called shared data because it is distributed (shared) on the HVAC network. The shared data for a unit contains information that allows the unit to operate correctly.
When a control board requires replacement, it is important that the replacement board gets the shared data from the old control. The primary way the replacement control gets this information is by the memory card that should be installed on the old control. Remove the memory card from the old control, but leave it attached to the unit by the plastic tether, replace the control and reinstall the memory card on the new control. If for some reason the memory card has been damaged or is miss­ing, the shared data from the network (air handler) will be used by the control. The network shared data is considered a back up for a lost or missing memory card. Never remove the memory card from the unit or cut the tether of the memory card as it is the most effective way to transfer the shared data. If the memory card is damaged or missing a new memory card can be ordered from Pro Stock. The unit will operate without the memory card, but a D4 error will be displayed on the seven segment displays.
The memory card from a different unit should never be used.

18.7 Subcooling Calculation
1. Measure the liquid pressure at the liquid line service valve.
2. Convert the liquid line pressure to saturated temperature. See Table 8.
3
. Measure the liquid line temperature at the liquid line service valve.
4. Compare the liquid line temperature to the saturated temperature.
5. The difference between saturated temperature and liquid line temperature is the subcooling. Subcooling normal range 9° to 12°.
