The Rheem Prestige Series™ RPQL- JEZ 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 following additional features, plus its energy-saving characteristics, make the RPQL- JEZ Heat Pump outdoor unit an excellent
choice for new construction or upgrading your present system.
The Rheem Prestige Series™ RPQL- JEZ Heat Pumps are the
result of an ongoing development program for improved efficiencies. With SEER’s up to 15.5, these units continue a tradition of
high efficiency.
■
The Comfort Control System™ provides on-board diagnostics
and fault history for heat pumps with single-phase compressors
by detecting system and electrical problems without adding sensors. It can also communicate “fault codes” to enabled “L terminal”
thermostats. The integrated diagnostics with Active Protection
prevents compressor operation when potentially harmful conditions are detected.
■
7-Segment LED Display is exclusive only to Rheem products.
The information-display quickly and accurately shows technicians
the source of malfunctions.
■
Features a five-year conditional unit replacement warranty
when properly installed with a new Rheem Air Handler OR
Rheem Indoor Coil with a Rheem Gas Furnace.
■
Compressor sound blanket is standard to provide quiet operation.
■
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 operation 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.
■
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, energysaving 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.

2 Rheem Heating, Cooling and Water Heating
■
The Rheem exclusive 7-Segment LED Display easily shows system
operating status codes and diagnostic codes.
■
A Sealed Switch replaces the standard
contactor and features optical control
and latching mechanism. The sealed
switch prevents infiltration of insects and
dust. A minimal
switching arc, by the
optical control, offers
greater reliability. The latching mechanism consumes less power while reducing chatter.
■
The Status Indication and System Diagnostics feature thermostat
communication capability, built-in diagnostics, high & low voltage
monitoring and high & low pressure switch monitoring. The thermo-
stat communication capability alerts the homeowner to any necessary
service requirements. Faster, more accurate
service is provided by the built-in diagnostics, by providing the HVAC professional
with dependable information. With the high
and low voltage monitoring feature, the control provides alerts for out-of-range conditions. In addition, high and low pressureswitch monitoring prevents the system from
operating outside of its normal parameters.
■
The fault recall feature will allow for the last six fault-codes to be
displayed, and will retain these codes even if power failure occurs.
■
Built-in short-cycle protection allows the compressor to restart easily without oil removal.
■
A 30-second minimum run-time for every compressor call enables
oil to return to the compressor.
■
Active Protection monitors the system to prevent nuisance lockouts
and prevents compressor operation
when potentially harmful conditions
are detected.
■
The compressor and fan are controlled
independently, which reduces the
starting load and light dimming.
■
A manual push-button is offered to
operate the compressor and fan for 5
seconds to allow for an operation
check.
■
In order to save time and money,
replacement automotive fuses can be
utilized instead of replacing the entire control board.
STANDARD FEATURES
RPQL- JEZ Heat Pump Outdoor Units
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. 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, TEV failure, loss of charge, indoor blower failure,
etc.) while eliminating nuisance tripping sometimes experienced with
conventional control systems.
3. Compressors have an internal pressure relief assembly to protect
against excessive pressure differential.
4. All refrigerant connections are on the exterior of the unit, located
close to the ground for neat appearing installations.
5. Cabinet is constructed of powder painted galvanized steel. The full
wrap-around louvered grille protects the coil from damage.
6. Enhanced compressor sound blanket is standard.
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 RPQL- JEZ models
(shipped – not installed).
11. Service valves are standard on all models.
12. Refrigerant Metering—TEV accurately meters refrigerant into

FEATURES & BENEFITS OF THE COMFORT CONTROL SYSTEM
™
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
compresor also has low start torque, eliminating start problems in the
field. And its unique design enables the RPQL- JEZ Heat Pump to
perform efficiently, quietly and dependably.

Rheem Heat Pump System
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.
For all season home comfort, performance and energy conservation, choose a Rheem RPQL- JEZ Heat Pump and a RHSL, RHLL, or
RHKL Series Air Handler.
To choose an Air Handler designed for use with the RPQL- JEZ Heat Pump, refer to the Performance Data Tables and/or the air handler
specification sheet.
