GENERAL INFORMATION
The TEMP-COOL HP-Series is a portable air-cooled heat pump designed for
permanent or temporary spot cooling or heating applications. The entire unit has been
built in a premium sheet metal cabinet, equipped with heavy-duty casters for mobility.
All HP-Series models come standard with a 10-foot power cord for electrical connection
and added mobility in service. These units direct heated/cooled air to specific areas or
objects through a discharge grille located on the upper-front of the unit, while rejecting
cooled/heated air from the top of the unit. The HP-Series models range in capacities
from 12,000 BTU/HR to 60,000 BTU/HR to satisfy most space cooling or heating
requirements.
The HP-Series is a self-contained unit with the entire system (evaporator and
condenser blower assemblies, electrical and refrigeration components), neatly
arranged in a gray and blue polyester powder coated metal cabinet. When connected
to the proper source of electrical power, the HP-Series is controlled by a solid-state
electronic controller, with numerous options of temperature and airflow controls that will
provide the desired level of comfort when cooling or heating.
A wide variety of accessories and factory installed options are available for the HP-
Series units allowing for improved performance and added versatility.

STANDARD FEATURES
CABINET
The HP-Series Series heat pump has a cabinet that is constructed of 18 gauge steel
with a polyester powder coated finish that will compliment any decor. The cool blue front
compliments any surrounding space, and is insulated with sound-absorbing insulation
for cool, quiet comfort. All units come equipped with handles and premium swivel
casters for portability and convenient set-up.
DELUXE ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER
Each HP-Series unit is equipped with a deluxe electronic controller. When power is
connected to the unit, the thermostat will control the unit to cool/heat a space to the
desired temperature. The thermostat is also capable of controlling the fan to operate
automatically when needed, or continuously.
One additional feature of the Deluxe Electronic Controller is that it will display a
condition alarm “CON”. “CON” displays when a condensate alarm, or a high pressure
reset condition has been met. To protect the compressor from short-cycling, there is a
built-in time delay.
FAN SPEED CONTROL
One of the features of the electronic controller is that the unit supply fan can be
controlled either automatically or manually. In AUTO mode, the indoor blower will adjust
air flow automatically for added comfort and performance. Or, if desired, the controller
can be set to MANUAL fan mode, and the indoor blower will run continuously at one of
six levels of fan speed.
CONDENSATE TANK/PUMP
HP-Series units come equipped with a means for handling the condensate generated
during the cooling/heating process. All units, except the 5-ton models, come equipped
with a condensate tank. The tank can be easily removed from the unit and emptied as
needed.
The TC-60HP models come equipped with an automatic condensate pump. The pump
comes with a 20 foot long vinyl hose that allows for the removal of the condensate water
to a drain. The automatic pump is capable of a 20ft vertical lift, to handle almost any
installation requirement.
FILTERS
All HP-Series units are equipped with washable filters at the air intakes. Electrostatic
mesh air filters located behind the evaporator return air grille serve to filter the air before
it is cooled/heated, and behind the condenser return air grille to prevent dust build-up.
Both filters can be easily removed and cleaned.
HIGH PRESSURE SAFETY SWITCH
Located on the back of the HP-Series unit is a manual re-set high pressure switch, used
for the protection of the compressor. If the condensing pressure exceeds the limit
setting, the switch will cycle the compressor off, while the evaporator fan remains
running. The display will indicate the default setting “CON”. The compressor can then
be re-started, once the condensing pressure has equalized, by depressing the
“RESET” button.
POWER CORDS
All HP-Series units come standard with a power cord for a convenient connection. All
models, except for the 3-phase units and 5-ton units, are equipped with LCDI for added
safety features.

APPLICATIONS
COOLING MODE—SPOT COOLER
The HP-Series can be used in an open environment to cool specific objects or "spots".
Spot Cooling is a convenient and economical way to provide air conditioning, where
cooling the entire space is impractical. Cool air is discharged from the unit and is
directed where it is needed. Nozzle kits can be used for directional cooling.
AREA COOLER
When the HP-Series is installed in an open area, the condenser exhaust duct directs the
warm air away from the space, allowing the evaporator air to cool the specific area.
ROOM AIR CONDITIONER
When ducted properly, the HP-Series can be used as a room air conditioner to cool an
enclosed space. Using the condenser return air plenum, additional ceiling kit, and other
accessories, the HP-Series can then operate as a room air conditioner with the
condenser air isolated from the conditioned space.

SPECIAL NOTICE—THREE PHASE OPERATION
Models TC-3623HP, TC-3643HP, TC-6023HP and TC-6043HP
All three-phase HP-Series models are equipped with a three-phase monitor for added
compressor protection. The phase monitor, located in the control box, has a
multi-color LED that reports status. The monitor protects the compressor from
reverse operation, phase loss, and low voltage situations. Further description of the
three-phase monitor is located in the electrical section of this manual.
NOTICE - DO NOT OPERATE ANY THREE-PHASE UNIT WHILE BYPASSING
THE MONITOR. THIS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
