The Rheem Classic®Series RPNE- Heat Pump Outdoor
units can provide year-round heating and cooling comfort
for residential, multi-family and light commercial applications. They are designed to operate with Rheem indoor
units with cooling and heating capacities certified under the
ARI Certification program.
The Rheem RHSA-, RHLA- & RHKA- Air Handlers are
equipped with auxiliary heating elements for supplementary
heat was designed especially for use with the RPNE- Heat
Pump. Together they provide systems capable of delivering
a maximum HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor)
of 9.10 in the heating mode or a maximum standard
S.E.E.R. (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) of 14.00 in the
cooling mode.
The following additional features, plus its energy-saving
characteristics, make the RPNE- Heat Pump outdoor unit
an excellent choice for new construction or upgrading your
present system.
■ Attractive, louvered wrap around jacket protects coil from
weather extremes and yard hazards. Top grille is steel
reinforced for extra strength. Cabinet is powder painted
for all weather protection.
■ Four sided outdoor coil design allows compressor opera-
tion with access panel removed.
■ Air is discharged upward away from bushes and shrubs.
The discharge pattern of the top grille provides minimum
air restriction, resulting in quiet fan operation.
■ Combination Grille/Motor Mount secures the fan motor to
the underside of the discharge grille.
■ All controls are accessible by removing one service
panel. Removable top grille provides access to the outdoor fan motor and outdoor coil.
■ Compressor compartment offers additional protection
from the elements and reduces operating noise.
■ Single speed, 8-pole fan motor is designed for quieter,
energy-saving operation.
■ Non-cycling reversing valve and demand defrost.
■ All models meet or exceed a 1000-hour salt spray test per
ASTM B117 Standard Practice for Operating Salt Spray
Testing Apparatus.

Engineering Features
RPNE- Series Heat Pump Outdoor Unit
1. Scroll compressor is hermetically sealed and incorporates internal
high temperature motor overload protection, and durable insulation on
the motor windings. It is externally mounted on rubber grommets to
reduce vibration and noise.
2. Copper Tube/Aluminum Fin Coils—Both indoor and outdoor coils.
3. Strong, Attractive Cabinet—Constructed of powder painted steel.
Louvered design protects the coil from damage.
4. Internal Check Valve—Provides for more quiet refrigerant metering.
5. Enhanced Compressor Protection—Features an enhanced defrost
control, auto-reset high pressure control, and auto-reset low
pressure control to provide compressor protection under abnormally
high head pressure conditions (outdoor fan failure, restriction, dirty
coil, etc.) or abnormally low suction pressure conditions (restrictions,
TXV failure, loss of charge, indoor blower failure, etc.) while
eliminating nuisance tripping sometimes experienced with
conventional control systems.
6. Drawn Painted Base Pan—For extra corrosion resistance and sound
reduction.
7. Demand Defrost Control—Provides complete defrost when defrost is
required.
8. Non-Cycling Reversing Valve—Eliminates discharge noises on each
heating cycle.
9. Hot Gas Muffler—Reduces noise in heating cycle.
10. Bi-Directional Filter Drier—Standard on all models.
11. Service valves are standard on all models.
12. Refrigerant Metering—TX valves accurately meter refrigerant into
indoor and outdoor coils.
13. The RPNE has a 10 year limited compressor warranty.
14. All refrigerant connections are on the exterior of the unit, located close
to the ground for neat appearing installations.
15. Coil design permits compressor operation with the access panel
removed.
16. Control box is fully accessible in the upper part of the cabinet, just
under the access panel.
17. Power and control wiring are kept separate.
18. Every unit is factory charged and tested.
All controls and compressor are accessible
for servicing by removal of the service panel.

■
Low Ambient Control—Allows low temperature operation in the
cooling cycle down to 0°F [-17.8°C] outdoor temperature. It is
recommended that this control be installed in units to be operated
for cooling at outdoor ambient temperatures under 65°F [18°C].
(Model No. RXPZ-C01)
■
Outdoor Thermostats—
RXPT-A01—One outdoor thermostat in box.
RXPT-A02—One outdoor thermostat for mounting in box for use
with RXPT-A01 or A03.
RXPT-A03—One outdoor thermostat with emergency Heat Relay
wired and mounted in box.
RXPT-A04—Two outdoor thermostats with emergency Heat Relay
wired and mounted in box.
■
Compressor Crankcase Heater—Available through PROSTOCK®.
■
Heat Pump Monitor—Indicates inefficient operation or malfunction of
heat pump. (Model No. RXPM-B01)
■
Thermostats
■
Compressor Time Delay Control—Compressor will remain off for
five minutes after power or thermostat interruption, allowing system
pressures to equalize. Starting during high pressure conditions can
result in shortened compressor life. (Model No. RXMD-B01)
■
Blower Time Delay Control—RXMD-C04—Time Delay Accessory is
not required if the outdoor unit is matched with a Rheem furnace or air
handler, or if the furnace or air handler used has a blower off time
delay built in.
■
Fossil Fuel Kits—RXPF-01
RXPF-02
■

includes an enhanced defrost control, auto-reset high pressure control
(HPC), and auto-reset low pressure control (LPC). This kit provides
compressor protection under abnormally high head pressure
conditions (outdoor fan failure, restriction, dirty coil, etc.) or abnormally
low suction pressure conditions (restriction, TEV failure, loss of
charge, indoor blower failure, etc.) while eliminating nuisance tripping
sometimes experienced with conventional control systems.

4 Rheem Heating, Cooling and Water Heating
SCROLL®COMPRESSOR
The scroll compressor is the key to efficiency for this Rheem model.
It’s the latest in high-efficiency compressor technology. The advanced
scroll compressor offers low noise and vibration characteristics and
features tolerance to liquid refrigerant and system contamination. The
Scroll also has low start torque, eliminating start problems in the field.
And its unique design enables the RPNE- heat pump to perform efficiently,
quietly and reliably.
For all season home comfort, performance and energy conservation, choose a Rheem RPNE- Series Heat Pump and a RHSA, RHLA, or
RHKA Series Air Handler.
More than a reverse cycle air conditioner, it’s a specially designed combination Winter/Summer comfort system using a single indoor coil
for heating and cooling.
To choose an Air Handler designed for use with the RPNE- Heat Pump, refer to the Performance Data Tables and/or the air handler
specification sheet.
