INTRODUCTION
RP units are completely self-contained heating and/or
air conditioning units. This equipment employs a waterto-refrigerant heat exchanger to extract (heating cycle)
or reject (cooling cycle) heat from/to a circulating
water-loop.
All models 1/2 through 5 tons are shipped as factorycharged packages. Horizontal units are designed for
suspended ceiling mounting, and are constructed with
integral hanger channels. Vertical units are designed
for free-standing floor mounting. All units are shipped
completely factory wired and pre-piped. Water supply,
water outlet, and condensate drain connections are via
female threaded pipe fittings.
Each refrigeration circuit includes an adjustable bi-flow
expansion valve, liquid line filter drier, and multiple service gauge ports. External high pressure and low pressure protection switches are included in each
compressor circuit. Heat Pump models feature a pilot
operated, sliding piston type, 4-way reversing valve
with a replaceable magnetic solenoid coil.
The coaxial water-to-refrigerant heat exchanger, and
all water piping within the unit are rated for water side
working pressures up to 400 psig. Automatic water flow
regulating valves are available as field installed accessories.
All units are completely factory wired with all necessary
operating controls. A 24 volt control circuit, with oversize transformer, is provided for field connection. Units
are designed to operate with conventional thermostat
control interface. The reversing valve solenoid coil
shall be energized in cooling mode only. A manual
reset lock-out relay is provided to disable the compressor control circuit in the event of high/low pressure cutout.
These units are designed for indoor installation only.
They are not
intended or approved for outdoor installa-
tion.

PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION OF
EQUIPMENT
All units are factory tested to ensure safe operation and
quality assembly. Units are packaged and sealed on
wooden skid runners and shipped in first class condition. Torn and broken packaging, scratched or dented
panels should be reported to carrier immediately. Internal inspection of all units should be performed prior to
installation . Remove all access doors and check for
visual defects that can occur during transport. Any
problems found internally should be reported to carrier
and manufacturer immediately. Refrigerant circuit
should be checked to ensure no leaks have occurred
during shipment. Install gauge set to high and low pressure ports to confirm pressure has been maintained
and no leaks have occurred during shipment. Repair
any damage prior to installation to ensure safe operation.
NOTE: Record any unit damage on the Bill of Lading and
report to carrier and factory immediately. Shipping
and handling damages are not warranty items.
RIGGING
INSTALLATION
Lock all electrical power supply switches in the
off position before installing the unit. Failure to
disconnect power supply may result in electrical
shock or even death.
Only qualified personnel should perform installation and service of this equipment.
Location - To ensure unit operates at maximum efficiencies, choose a dry indoor area where the temperature is controlled between 40° F and 115° F.
Consideration of surrounding areas should be taken
when choosing a location to install the unit. Common
vibration and sound levels associated with commercial
equipment may be objectionable to people or equipment.
Prior to mounting unit, check individual unit
weights (page 4) and verify lifting capacity of lifting
equipment exceeds weight of units by safe margins. failure to do so may result in unit damage,
personal injury or even death.
Failure to allow adequate space between units
may result in poor unit performance and possible
unit failure.
Install thermostats, supply air ductwork, and return air
ductwork (if applicable) so that each unit will operate
only in a single cooling or heating zone. In order to
assure proper drainage of condensate, horizontal units
can be slightly pitched in the same direction as drain
pan outlet.

Twenty-four (24) inch clearance is required on all sides
of the unit for service access. Service access doors are
equipped with lifting handles and are located on all
sides of the unit to allow easy servicing of all components.
UNIT MOUNTING
Vertical units should be mounted level on a vibration
absorbing pad(s) to minimize vibration transmission
through the floor structure. It is not necessary to anchor
the unit to the floor.
Horizontal units are typically suspended above a ceiling by threaded steel rods, securely anchored to the
building structure. Units should be supported from the
holes in the rail extensions at the four corners, using
steel threaded rods having a minimum diameter of 3/8
inch. Four rubber bushings are supplied with the unit to
be placed between the unit and the supporting rods to
absorb vibration.

BLOWER PERFORMANCE
A simple method for approximating sufficient air vol-

All units employ direct-drive blower motors with multiple speed taps available. The motors have been
selected to deliver the nominal air volume against varying external static pressures when necessary. After
installation of the unit, it will be necessary to check the
air volume and change the motor speed connection
and return air temperatures. In Heating mode, the air
temperature rise should be in the range of 20ºF to 30ºF.
In Cooling mode, the temperature drop should be
between 15ºF to 25ºF. If values are outside the appro-
priate range, increase or reduce the motor speed as
necessary.

LOOP WATER SUPPLY AND PIPING
CONNECTIONS
The recommended circulating water supply for heat
pump systems is a closed-water loop, utilizing a cool-
ing tower and boiler to maintain the loop temperature
within acceptable temperature limits. Typically, the
closed loop temperature is maintained above 60° F and
below 90° F. All units function independently, either
adding heat to the loop (cooling mode) or removing
heat from the loop (heating mode).
When utilizing an open cooling tower (evaporative
type), chemical treatment is mandatory to ensure that
the loop water is free of corrosive minerals. A secondary heat exchanger between the open cooling tower
and the closed water loop may also be used. It is
imperative that all air is purged from the closed loop
side to prevent condenser fouling.
Dual acting water regulating valves should be used
when there is potential for low fluid flow and/or low fluid
temperature or high fluid temperature conditions to
exist. These water regulating valve assemblies consist
of a direct acting valve parallel coupled to a reverse
acting valve. The direct acting valve opens in response
to an increase in discharge pressure during cooling
mode. The reverse acting valve opens in response to a
decrease in suction pressure during heating mode.
The heat rejection water source for cooling-only units
may be from a municipal supply main, a cooling tower,
or a chilled water system. An automatic water flow regulating valve is normally required, except if the inlet
water temperature is constant and the flow rate can be
pre-set and turned on and off by some other means,
such as a dedicated pump circuit or solenoid valve.
Automatic water flow regulating valves, for both heat
pump and cooling-only applications, are available as
field installed accessories. The valves are installed on
the water outlet connection from the unit. Schrader
type refrigerant pressure access fittings are included
as standard in all units.
SUPPLY/RETURN PIPING
Supply and return piping should be as large as the unit
connection sizes (larger on long pipe runs). Never use
flexible hoses of a smaller inside diameter than that of
the nominal water pipe size. Both supply and return
water lines will sweat if subjected to low water temperatures. Insulate these lines as necessary to prevent condensation damage.
Flexible hoses should be used between the unit and
rigidly mounted piping to avoid vibration transmission.
Teflon tape thread sealant is recommended. Do not
overtighten threaded connections. Ball valves should
be installed in the supply and return lines for unit isolation and water flow balancing. Before final connection
to the unit, the supply and return hoses should be connected together and the piping system flushed to
remove any dirt or foreign material.
Pressure and temperature ports are recommended in
both the supply and return lines for system flow balancing. The water flow can be accurately set by measuring
the water-side pressure drop through the unit. See the
flow versus pressure drop specification table for application information. Do not exceed the recommended
water flow rates. Damage due to erosion of the
water-to-refrigerant heat exchanger could occur.
Horizontal Units - The 3/4 FPT drain connection on the
unit is NOT internally trapped. The cooling coil compartment and drain pan are under negative pressure
when the blower is running, therefore a P trap MUST
be used in the drain line.
It is recommended that a ¾ inch drain line be sloped
(¼ inch/foot) all the way to an open drain. Each unit
must be installed with its own individual trap, and have
the means to flush out the condensate line if necessary. If it is not possible to reach an open drain by gravity flow, a pump kit, which is available as an accessory,
can be mounted close to the unit.
Vertical Units - Each unit utilizes a flexible hose inside
the cabinet as a trapping loop. An external P-trap is not
necessary.
WATER REGULATING VALVE – INSTALLATION
The water regulating valve is to be installed in the
water outlet line, as close as possible to the unit cabinet (maximum 18 inches distance). The capillary tube
from the sensing bellows on the valve(s) must be connected to the ¼ inch male flare connection, which is on
the refrigerant liquid line in the condenser compartment. Connect the capillary tube flare nut directly to the
unit male flare fitting. When one is making this connection, it is normal for some refrigerant to escape as the
schrader valve core is being opened and the nut is
being tightened. Complete the tightening of the nut as
soon as possible to minimize the loss of refrigerant. Do
not over-tighten.
START-UP AND OPERATION
NOTE: The services of a qualified Refrigeration Service
Mechanic should be employed in the start-up and
commissioning of these systems.
Lock all electrical power supply switches in the off
position before installing the unit. failure to disconnect power supply may result in electrical shock or
even death.
After completing the installation, and before energizing
the power supply to the unit, the following checks
should be made -
•Verify that the electrical supply to the unit is of the
correct voltage, and rated for sufficient amperage
in accordance with the nameplate values.
•Verify that the low voltage wiring between the unit
and the thermostat is correct.
•Confirm that the water piping is complete and free
of leaks.
•Check that the water flow rate is correct, and adjust
as necessary.
•Confirm that the blower wheel rotates freely.
•All service access panels are in place and properly
secured.
A room thermostat should be used to cycle the unit on
and off automatically as required to maintain the room
temperature at the set point of the thermostat. The air
10Unitary Products Group
036-21521-001-A-0103
circulating fan will cycle on and off with the compressor.
If desired, the air circulating fan can be run continuously.
The units have a lock out relay that will prevent the unit
from cycling on the low pressure cut out or the high
pressure cut out. If either of these safety devices open,
the compressor will not restart when the safety device
resets. To restart the compressor after a safety lock
out, it will be necessary to interrupt the power to the
control circuit. This can be done at the thermostat or at
the disconnect switch.
START-UP
1.Set the thermostat to the highest setting.
2.Set the fan switch to the 'AUTO' position, and the
thermostat system switch to 'COOL'.
3.Reduce the thermostat setting to approximately 5
degrees below room temperature.
4.The compressor, and the supply air blower, will
start. Simultaneously the reversing valve will be
energized.
5.After five minutes, verify cooling mode operation by
checking for cool air discharge at the supply air
outlet.
6.Set the thermostat system switch to the 'OFF' position. The unit will stop running, and the reversing
valve will de-energize.
7.Allow approximately five minutes to allow for system pressures to equalize.
8.Set the thermostat to its lowest temperature setting.
9.Move the thermostat system switch to 'HEAT'.
10. Increase the thermostat setting approximately 5
degrees above room temperature.
11. After five minutes, verify heating mode operation
by checking for warm air discharge at the supply
air outlet.
12. Adjust the thermostat to maintain the desired
space temperature.
13. Check the unit for unusual vibrations, noises,
leaks, etc.
WATER REGULATING VALVE - ADJUSTMENT
The water regulating valve needs to be adjusted to
maintain a condensing pressure of 170 to 220 PSIG.
The valve is adjusted by turning the ¼ inch square
shaft on top of the spring housing. Turning the adjusting screw counter clockwise will raise the opening
pressure and raise the condensing pressure being
maintained. Turning the adjusting screw clockwise will
lower the opening point and lower the condensing
pressure being maintained. If mains water is being
used, make sure the valve closes soon after the compressor stops. If the flow does not stop after a few minutes, raise the opening pressure by turning the
adjusting shaft counter clockwise until the flow stops.
If the unit is running on mains water, we recommend
adjusting the water regulating valve to give 100ºF leaving water temperature or 220 PSIG condensing temperature. This will give the best compromise between
low water flow and high operating efficiency. If the condenser water is being re-circulated through a cooling
tower or a chilled water system, it is recommended that
the water regulating valve be set for a lower condensing temperature. This will provide higher efficiency,
lower operating cost and a lower sound level. The minimum condensing pressure required for satisfactory
expansion valve operation is 170 PSIG.
MAINTENANCE
The air circulating fan motor has bearings that are factory lubricated and sealed for long life. No further lubrication is required. The compressor is part of a sealed
refrigeration system that does not require any additional lubrication.
Filter changes are required at regular intervals. It is
suggested that the filter be checked at 60-day intervals
for the first year of operation, until field experience is
acquired. If light cannot be seen through the filter, it
should be changed. Always replace the filter with the
same size of 1-inch thick disposable type of fiberglass
filter. (See General Data for listing of required filter
sizes.)
The condensate drain pan should be checked annually,
and cleaned and flushed as required.
Recording of reference operating parameters is recommended (volts, amp draw, water temperature differences, etc.). A comparison of logged data with start-up
and annual data is useful as an indicator of general
equipment condition.

Periodic lockouts are almost always caused by air or
water problems. The lockout of the compressor is a
normal protective result of insufficient heat transfer.
