Safety Considerations
WARNING: Before performing service or
maintenance operations on a system, turn off main
power switches to the indoor unit. If applicable,
turn off the accessory heater power switch.
Electrical shock could cause personal injury.
Installing and servicing heating and air conditioning
equipment can be hazardous due to system pressure and
electrical components. Only trained and qualified service
personnel should install, repair or service heating and air
conditioning equipment. Untrained personnel can perform
the basic maintenance functions of cleaning coils and
cleaning and replacing filters. All other operations should
be performed by trained service personnel. When working
on heating and air conditioning equipment, observe
precautions in the literature, tags and labels attached to the
unit and other safety precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work
gloves. Use a quenching cloth for brazing operations and
have a fire extinguisher available.
Moving and Storage
Move units in the normal “up” orientation. Horizontal units
may be moved and stored per the information on the
packaging. Do not stack more than three units in total
height. Vertical units may be stored one upon another to
a maximum height of two units. Do not attempt to move
units while stacked. When the equipment is received, all
items should be carefully checked against the bill of lading
to be sure all crates and cartons have been received.
Examine units for shipping damage, removing the units
from the packaging if necessary. Units in question should
also be internally inspected. If any damage is noted, the
carrier should make the proper notation on the delivery
receipt, acknowledging the damage.
Filter Rack Conversion
A 2 in. MERV 11 filter is shipped with the heat pump. To
field convert the filter rack to use 1 in. filters, simply insert
the provided plastic push pins into the holes located in the
filter rack. There are holes on the top and bottom of the
rack, underneath the instruction labels, for field conversion
to 1 in. filters.
Installing Vertical Units
Prior to setting the unit in place, remove and discard the
compressor hold down shipping bolt located at the front of
the compressor mounting bracket.
Vertical units are available in left or right air return
configurations. Top and rear air discharge vertical units
should be mounted level on a vibration absorbing pad
slightly larger than the base to provide isolation between
the unit and the floor. It is not necessary to anchor the unit
to the floor (see below).
Bottomflow units should be mounted level and sealed well
to floor to prevent air leakage. Bottomflow units require
the supply air opening to be cut at least 1/2 in. larger than
the unit’s air outlet. Protect the edges of combustible
flooring with sheet metal over-wrap or other noncombustible material.
Figure 1: Vertical Unit Mounting
Unit Location
Locate the unit in an indoor area that allows for easy removal
of the filter and access panels. Location should have enough
space for service personnel to perform maintenance or
repair. Provide sufficient room to make water, electrical and
duct connection(s). If the unit is located in a confined space,
such as a closet, provisions must be made for return air to
freely enter the space by means of a louvered door, etc. Any
access panel screws that would be difficult to remove after
the unit is installed should be removed prior to setting the
unit. On horizontal units, allow adequate room below the
unit for a condensate drain trap and do not locate the unit
above supply piping. Care should be taken when units are
located in unconditioned spaces to prevent damage from
frozen water lines and excessive heat that could damage
electrical components.

diameter threaded rods. The rods are usually attached to
the unit by hanger bracket kits furnished with each unit.
Lay out the threaded rods per the dimensions in Figure
3. Assemble the hangers to the unit as shown. Securely
tighten the brackets to the unit using the weld nuts located
on the underside of the bottom panel. When attaching the
hanger rods to the bracket, a double nut is required since
vibration could loosen a single nut. To allow filter access,
one bracket on the filter side should be installed 180° from

the position shown in Figure 3. The unit should be pitched
approximately 1/4-inch towards the drain in both directions
to facilitate the removal of condensate. Use only the bolts
provided in the kit to attach hanger brackets. The use of
longer bolts could damage internal parts.
Some residential applications require the installation of
horizontal units on an attic floor. In this case, the unit
should be set in a full size secondary drain pan on top of a
vibration absorbing pad. The secondary drain pan prevents
possible condensate overflow or water leakage damage to
the ceiling. The secondary drain pan is usually placed on a
plywood base isolated from the ceiling joists by additional
layers of vibration absorbing material.
CAUTION: Do not use rods smaller than 3/8-inch
diameter since they may not be strong enough
to support the unit. The rods must be securely
anchored to the ceiling.

Duct System
An air outlet collar is provided on vertical top and rear
air discharge units and all horizontal units to facilitate
a duct connection (vertical bottomflow units have no
collar). A flexible connector is recommended for discharge
and return air duct connections on metal duct systems.
Uninsulated duct should be insulated with a minimum of
1-inch duct insulation. Application of the unit to uninsulated
ductwork in an unconditioned space is not recommended
as the unit’s performance will be adversely affected.
If the unit is connected to existing ductwork, check the duct
system to ensure that it has the capacity to accommodate
the air required for the unit application. If the duct is too
small, as in the replacement of heating only systems, larger
ductwork should be installed. All existing ductwork should
be checked for leaks and repaired if necessary.
The duct system should be sized to handle the design
airflow quietly and efficiently. To maximize sound
attenuation of the unit blower, the supply and return
plenums should include an internal duct liner of fiberglass
or constructed of ductboard for the first few feet. On
systems employing a sheet metal duct system, canvas
connectors should be used between the unit and the
ductwork. If air noise or excessive airflow is a problem, the
blower speed can be changed.
CAUTION: When attaching ductwork or
accessories to the cabinet, make sure the
fasteners do not come into contact with the
air coil.
the swivel connector prior to attempting any connection.
The rubber seals are shipped attached to the waterline.
To make the connection to a ground loop system, mate
the brass connector (supplied in CK4LI connector kit)
against the rubber gasket in the swivel connector and
thread the female locking ring onto the pipe threads, while
maintaining the brass connector in the desired direction.
Tighten the connectors by hand, then gently snug the
fitting with pliers to provide a leak-proof joint. When
connecting to an open loop (ground water) system, thread
any 1-inch MPT fitting (SCH80 PVC or copper) into the
swivel connector and tighten in the same manner as noted
above. The open and closed loop piping system should
include pressure/temperature taps for serviceability.
Never use flexible hoses smaller than 1-inch inside diameter
on the unit. Limit hose length to 10 feet per connection.
Check carefully for water leaks.

Water Piping
The proper water flow must be provided to each unit
whenever the unit operates. To assure proper flow, use
pressure/temperature ports to determine the flow rate.
These ports should be located at the supply and return
water connections on the unit. The proper flow rate cannot
be accurately set without measuring the water pressure
drop through the refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger.
All source water connections on residential units are swivel
piping fittings (see Figure 4) that accept a 1-inch male pipe
thread (MPT). The swivel connector has a rubber gasket
seal similar to a rubber hose gasket, which when mated
to the flush end of any 1-inch threaded pipe provides a
leak-free seal without the need for thread sealing tape
or compound. Check to ensure that the rubber seal is in

Water Quality
In ground water situations where scaling could be heavy
or where biological growth such as iron bacteria will be
present, a closed loop system is recommended. The heat
exchanger coils in ground water systems may, over a period
of time, lose heat exchange capabilities due to a buildup
of mineral deposits inside. These can be cleaned, but only
by a qualified service mechanic, as special solutions and
pumping equipment are required. Hot water generator coils

Low Water Coil Limit
Set the freeze sensing switch SW2-1 on the Aurora Base
Control (ABC) printed circuit board for applications using
a closed loop antifreeze solution to “LOOP” (15°F). On
applications using an open loop/ground water system (or
closed loop no antifreeze), set this dip switch to “WELL”
(30°F), the factory default setting. (Refer to the DIP Switch
Settings table in the Aurora Control section.)
Condensate Drain
On vertical units, the internal condensate drain assembly
consists of a drain tube which is connected to the
drain pan, a 3/4-inch PVC female adapter and a flexible
connecting hose. The female adapter may exit either the
front or the side of the cabinet. The adapter should be
glued to the field-installed PVC condensate piping. On
vertical units, a condensate hose is inside all cabinets as a
trapping loop; therefore, an external trap is not necessary.
On horizontal units, a PVC stub is provided for condensate
drain piping connection. An external trap is required (see
below). If a vent is necessary, an open stand pipe may be
applied to a tee in the field-installed condensate piping.

Closed Loop Ground Source Systems
NOTE: For closed loop systems with antifreeze protection,
set SW2-1 to the “LOOP” (15°F) position. (Refer to the DIP
Switch Settings table in the Aurora Control section.)
Once piping is completed between the unit, pumps and the
ground loop (see figure below), final purging and charging
of the loop is required. A flush cart (or a 1.5 HP pump
minimum) is needed to achieve adequate flow velocity
in the loop to purge air and dirt particles from the loop
itself. Antifreeze solution is used in most areas to prevent
freezing. Flush the system adequately to remove as much
air as possible then pressurize the loop to a static pressure
of 40-50 psi (summer) or 50-75 psi (winter). This is
normally adequate for good system operation. Loop static
pressure will fluctuate with the seasons. Pressures will be
higher in the winter months than during the cooling season.
This fluctuation is normal and should be considered when
initially charging the system.
After pressurization, be sure to turn the venting (burping)
screw in the center of the pump two (2) turns open (water
will drip out), wait until all air is purged from the pump,
then tighten the plug. Ensure that the loop pumps provide
adequate flow through the unit(s) by checking the pressure
drop across the heat exchanger and comparing it to the unit
capacity data in this catalog. 2.5 to 3 gpm of flow per ton of
cooling capacity is recommended in earth loop applications.

Multiple Units on One Flow Center
NOTE: This feature is only available in the Aurora Advanced
Control package (AXB board), NOT the Aurora Base
Control (ABC).
When two units are connected to one loop pumping system,
pump control is automatically achieved by connecting the
SL terminals on connector P2 in both units with 2-wire
thermostat wire. These terminals are polarity dependant (see
Figure 8b). The loop pump(s) may be powered from either
unit, whichever is more convenient. If either unit calls, the loop
pump(s) will automatically start. The use of two units on one
flow center is generally limited to a total of 20 gpm capacity.
NOTE: To achieve this same feature when heat pumps have
only the Aurora Base Control, follow Figure 8a. Installer will
be required to supply fuses, two relays, and wiring.
Variable Speed Pump Setup
When using a variable speed pump flow center (FCV1-GL or
FCV2-GL) the use of an AID Tool will be necessary to adjust
minimum and maximum flow rates. The factory default is:
minimum=75% and maximum=100% speed levels.

Open Loop Ground Water Systems
5 SERIES 500A11 INSTALLATION MANUAL
Typical open loop piping is shown below. Always maintain
water pressure in the heat exchanger by placing water
control valves at the outlet of the unit to prevent mineral
precipitation. Use a closed, bladder-type expansion tank
to minimize mineral formation due to air exposure. Ensure
proper water flow through the unit by checking pressure
drop across the heat exchanger and comparing it to the
figures in unit capacity data tables in the specification
catalog. 1.5-2 gpm of flow per ton of cooling capacity is
recommended in open loop applications.
Discharge water from the unit is not contaminated in any
manner and can be disposed of in various ways, depending

Hot Water Generator Connections
To maximize the benefits of the hot water generator a
minimum 50-gallon water heater is recommended For
higher demand applications, use an 80-gallon water
heater or two 50-gallon water heaters connected in a
series as shown below. Two tanks plumbed in a series
is recommended to maximize the hot water generator
capability. Electric water heaters are recommended. Make
sure all local electrical and plumbing codes are met for
installing a hot water generator. Residential units with hot
water generators contain an internal circulator and fittings.
A water softener is recommended with hard water (greater
than 10 grains or 170 total hardness).
NOTES: 1) Using a preheat tank, as shown in Figure 12, will
maximize hot water generator capabilities. 2) The hot water
generator coil is constructed of vented double wall copper
suitable for potable water.
Water Tank Preparation
To install a unit with a hot water generator, follow these
installation guidelines.
1. Turn off the power to the water heater.
2. Attach a water hose to the water tank drain
connection and run the other end of the hose to an
open drain or outdoors.
3. Close the cold water inlet valve to the water heater tank.
4. Drain the tank by opening the valve on the bottom
of the tank, then open the pressure relief valve or hot
water faucet.
5. Flush the tank by opening the cold water inlet valve to
the water heater to free the tank of sediments. Close
when draining water is clear.
6. Disconnect the garden hose and remove the drain valve
from the water heater.
7. Refer to Plumbing Installation and Hot Water

water generator water “IN” and the tee (1/2-inch nominal).
The recommended maximum distance is 50 feet.
11.
To prevent air entrapment in the system, install a vent
coupling at the highest point of the interconnecting lines.
12. Insulate all exposed surfaces of both connecting water
lines with 3/8-inch wall closed cell insulation.
NOTE: All plumbing and piping connections must comply
with local plumbing codes.
Hot Water Generator Switch
The hot water generator switch is taped in the disabled
position at the factory.
Hot Water Generator Startup
1. Turn the hot water generator switch to the “ON”
position. The hot water generator switch will allow the
hot water generator pump to be enabled or disabled by
the service technician or homeowner.
2. Close the drain valve to the water heater.
3. Open the cold water supply to the tank.
4. Open a hot water faucet in the building to bleed air from
the system. Close when full.
5. Open the pressure relief valve to bleed any remaining air
from the tank, then close.
6. If so equipped, turn the venting (burping) screw in the
center of the pump two (2) turns open (water will drip
out), wait until all air is purged from the pump, then
tighten the plug. Use vent couplings to bleed air from
the lines.
7. Carefully inspect all plumbing for water leaks and
correct as required.
8. Before restoring electrical supply to the water heater,
adjust the temperature setting on the tank.
• On tanks with both upper and lower elements,
the lower element should be turned down to
the lowest setting, approximately 100°F. The
upper element should be adjusted to 120°F to
130°F. Depending upon the specific needs of
the customer, you may want to adjust the upper
element differently.
• On tanks with a single element, lower the
thermostat setting to 120°F.
9. After the thermostat(s) is adjusted, replace the access
cover and restore electrical supply to the water heater.
10. Make sure that any valves in the hot water generator
water circulating circuit are open.
11. Turn on the unit to first stage heating.
12. Use an AID Tool to enable HWG and select the desired
water heating set point. Selectable set points are 100°F
– 140°F in 5°F increments (default 130°F). From the Main
Menu of the AID Tool select Setup, then AXB Setup.
13. The hot water generator pump should be running. When
the pump is first started, turn the venting (burping)
screw (if equipped) in the center of the pump two (2)
turns open until water dribbles out, then replace. Allow
the pump to run for at least five minutes to ensure that
water has filled the circulator properly. Be sure the
switch for the hot water generator pump switch is “ON”.
14. The temperature difference between the water entering
and leaving the hot water generator should be 5°F to
15°F. The water flow should be approximately 0.4 gpm
per ton of nominal cooling.
15. Allow the unit to heat water for 15 to 20 minutes to be
sure operation is normal.
CAUTION: Never operate the HWG circulating
pump while dry. If the unit is placed in operation
before the hot water generator piping is
connected, be sure that the pump switch is set
to the OFF position.

Electrical Connections
General
Be sure the available power is the same voltage and phase
as that shown on the unit serial plate. Line and low voltage
wiring must be done in accordance with local codes or the
National Electric Code, whichever is applicable.
Unit Power Connection
Connect the incoming line voltage wires to L1 and L2 of
the contactor as shown in Figure 13C for single-phase unit.
Consult the Unit Electrical Data in this manual for correct
fuse sizes.
Open lower front access panel. Remove ground fastener
from bottom of control box (Figure 13B). Swing open
control box (Figure 13A). Insert power wires through
knockouts on lower left side of cabinet. Route wires
through left side of control box and connect to contactor
and ground (Figure 13C). Close control box and replace
grounding fastener before unit start-up.
Accessory Relay
A set of “dry” contacts has been provided to control
accessory devices, such as water solenoid valves on open
loop installations, electronic air cleaners, humidifiers, etc.
This relay contact should be used only with 24 volt signals
and not line voltage power. The relay has both normally
open and normally closed contacts and can operate with
either the fan or the compressor. Use DIP switch SW2-4
and 5 to cycle the relay with blower, compressor, or control
a slow opening water valve. The relay contacts are available
on terminals #2 and #3 of P2.
A second configurable accessory relay is provided on the
AXB board, if installed. When powering high VA draw
components such as electronic air cleaners or VM type
open loop water valves, R should be taken ‘pre-fuse’ from
the ‘R’ quick connect on the ABC board and not the ‘postfuse’ ‘R’ terminal on the thermostat connection. If not,
blown ABC fuses might result.
208 Volt Operation
All 208/230 units are factory wired for 230 volt operation.
For 208 volt operation, the red and blue transformer wires
must be switched on terminal strip PB2.

Electronic Thermostat Installation
Position the thermostat subbase against the wall so that
it is level and the thermostat wires protrude through
the middle of the subbase. Mark the position of the
subbase mounting holes and drill holes with a 3/16-inch
bit. Install supplied anchors and secure base to the wall.
Thermostat wire must be 8-conductor (4 or 5 counductor
for communicating thermostats), 20-AWG (minimum)
wire. Strip the wires back 1/4-inch (longer strip lengths
may cause shorts) and insert the thermostat wires into
the connector as shown. Tighten the screws to ensure
secure connections. The thermostat has the same type
connectors, requiring the same wiring. See instructions
enclosed in the thermostat for detailed installation and
operation information. The W1 terminal on TPCM32U03
and TPCM32U04 communicating thermostats may be
hard wired to provide aux/emergency heat in the event
communication is lost between the thermostat and the
ABC microprocessor.
NOTE: Aurora Base Control (ABC) DIP switch SW2-7 is
required to be in the “OFF” position for the control to
operate with FaultFlash or ComforTalk thermostats. SW2-7
in the “ON” position configures the control to operate with
typical thermostats (continuous lockout signal). There
must be a wire connecting Y2 on the Aurora controller
to 2nd stage compressor on the thermostat for proper
operation. SW2-7 DIP switch position is not relevant with
communicating thermostats.
Order the “H” part number when installed on horizontal and vertical rear discharge units
Air flow level for auxiliary heat (Aux) must be above the minimum cfm in this table
All heaters rated single phase 60 cycle and include unit blower load
All fuses type “D” time delay (or HACR circuit breaker in USA)
