General Installation Information
VERSATEC BASE SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL
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.
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.
Installing Vertical Units
Vertical units are available in left or right air return
configurations. Top flow 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.

Horizontal units shipped with standard 2 in. (fi eld adjustable to 1 in.) open application fi lter rail extending 2.2 in. from the unit and
is not suitable for duct connection. For ductable return connection applications, order the 2 in. (fi eld adjustable to 1 in.) duct collar/
fi lter rack which extends to 3.25 in. from the unit and is suitable for duct connections.
** UBH006-012 offers a lifted drain pan that allows the trap to be installed without additional ceiling height required.
When using disconnect, do not use dimension K from the
standard horizontal dimensional data. Use dimension KK
from the horizontal disconnect dimensional data.
Horizontal units are available with side or end discharge
and may be easily field converted by flipping the blower
discharge panel. Horizontal units are normally suspended
from a ceiling by four 3/8 in. 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 below. 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.
NOTE: The unit should be pitched approximately 1/4
in. towards the drain in both directions to facilitate the
removal of condensate.
Horizontal Unit Mounting
Use only the bolts provided in the kit to attach hanger
brackets. The use of longer bolts could damage internal
parts. Some 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. Insulate supply
plenum and use at least one 90° elbow and flexible duct
collar to reduce noise.
CAUTION: Do not use rods smaller than 3/8 in.
diameter since they may not be strong enough
to support the unit. The rods must be securely
anchored to the ceiling.

VERSATEC BASE SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL
Duct System
An air outlet collar is provided on vertical top flow units
and all horizontal units to facilitate a duct connection.
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
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.
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.
All source water connections on commercial units are
fittings that accept a male pipe thread (MPT). Insert the
connectors by hand, then tighten the fitting with a wrench
to provide a leakproof joint. When connecting to an open
loop (groundwater) system, thread any copper MPT fitting
into the connector and tighten in the same manner as
described above.

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
with extremely hard water, the owner should be informed
that the heat exchanger may require occasional flushing.
Failure to adhere to the guidelines in the water quality table

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 in. 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.

System Cleaning and Flushing
Cleaning and Flushing
Prior to start up of any heat pump, the water circulating
system must be cleaned and flushed of all dirt and debris.
If the system is equipped with water shutoff valves, the
supply and return runouts must be connected together
at each unit location (This will prevent the introduction of
dirt into the unit, see Flushing with Water Shutoff Valve
Equipped Systems illustration). The system should be filled
at the water make-up connection with all air vents open.
After filling, vents should be closed.
Flushing with Water Shutoff Valve Equipped Systems
Return Runout
Supply Runout
Mains
Rubber Hose
Runouts Initially
Connected Together
The contractor should start the main circulator with the
pressure reducing valve makeup open. Vents should be
checked in sequence to bleed off any trapped air and to
verify circulation through all components of the system.
As water circulates through the system, the contractor
should check and repair any leaks found in the piping
system. Drain(s) at the lowest point(s) in the system should
be opened for initial flush and blowdown, making sure
water fill valves are set at the same rate. Check the pressure
gauge at the pump suction and manually adjust the makeup water valve to hold the same positive pressure both
before and after opening the drain valves. Flushing should
continue for at least two hours, or longer if required, until
drain water is clean and clear.
The supplemental heater and/or circulator pump, if used,
should be shut off. All drains and vents should be opened
to completely drain the system. Short-circuited supply and
return runouts should now be connected to the unit supply
and return connections.
Refill the system with clean water. Test the system water
for acidity and treat as required to leave the water slightly
alkaline (pH 7.5 to 8.5). The specified percentage of
antifreeze may also be added at this time. Use commercial
grade antifreeze designed for HVAC systems only.
Environol™ brand antifreeze is recommended.
Once the system has been filled with clean water and
antifreeze (if used), precautions should be taken to protect
the system from dirty water conditions. Dirty water will
result in system-wide degradation of performance, and
solids may clog valves, strainers, flow regulators, etc.
Additionally, the heat exchanger may become clogged
which reduces compressor service life and can cause
premature unit failure.
In boiler/tower application, set the loop control panel
set points to desired temperatures. Supply power to all
motors and start the circulating pumps. After full flow has
been established through all components including the
heat rejector (regardless of season), air vented and loop
temperatures stabilized, each of the units will be ready for
check, test and start up and for air and water balancing.
Ground Source Loop System Checkout
Once piping is completed between the unit pumping
system and ground loop, final purging and charging of
the loop is needed. A high pressure pump 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
may decrease soon after initial installation, due to pipe
expansion and loop temperature change. Running the
unit for at least 30 minutes after the system has been
completely purged of air will allow for the “break-in”
period. It may be necessary to adjust static loop pressure
(by adding water) after the unit has run for the first time.
Loop static pressure will also 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 charging the system initially.
Ensure the pump provides adequate flow through the unit
by checking pressure drop across the heat exchanger.
Usually 2.25-3.0 gpm of flow per ton of cooling capacity is
recommended in earth loop applications.
14
Open Loop Ground Water Systems
VERSATEC BASE SERIES 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. Insure
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. Due to only minor
differences in flow rate from low to high, only one solenoid
valve should be used. The valve should be sized for full flow.

5-Speed ECM Constant Torque Motors
The 5-speed ECM is a ‘Constant Torque’ ECM motor and
delivers air flow similar to a PSC but operates as efficiently
as an variable speed ECM Motor. Because it’s an ECM
Motor, the 5-speed ECM can ramp slowly up or down like
the variable speed ECM Motor. There are 5 possible speed
taps available on the 5-speed ECM motor with #1 being
the lowest airflow and #5 being the highest airflow. These
speed selections are preset at the time of manufacture
and are easily changed in the field if necessary.
5-Speed ECM Benefits:
- High efficiency
- Soft start
- 5 speeds with up to 4 speeds on-line
- Built in logic allows air flow to change with G, Y1,
Y2 and W signals
- Super efficient low airflow continuous blower
setting (G)
If more than one tap are energized at the same time, built
in logic gives precedence to the highest tap number and
allows air flow to change with G, Y1, Y2 and W signals.
Each of those 5 speeds has a specific ‘Torque’ value
programmed into the motor for each speed selection. As
static pressure increases, airflow decreases resulting in less
torque on the rotor. The motor responds only to changes in
torque and adjusts its speed accordingly.
The 5-speed ECM motor is powered by line voltage but the
motor speed is energized by 24VAC.
Power Connection - 3/16 in. quick connects - Line 1 (orange
wire) to L, Ground (green wire) to G, Line 2 (for 208V-230V
units) to N (brown wire).
Signal Connection - 1/4 in. quick connects - Common to C,
24VAC to Taps #1-5.
Applying 24VAC power between any of the motor taps
1-5 (1/4 in. quick connects) and common will signal the
motor to run and regulate torque at the programmed level.
The tap input voltage must be in the range 12-33VAC. The
5-speed ECM will have less variation over the operating
static pressure range versus a PSC motor as well as a
significant watts reduction due to the high motor efficiency.
Thermal Protection - Motor is electronically protected.
Locked Rotor Amps - If motor speed decreases below a
programmed stall speed, the motor will shut down and after
a delay period, the control will attempt to restart the motor.
The 5-speed ECM speed tap selections are as follows:
The blue wire should be placed on the speed tap desired for
the (G) continuous blower setting – factory wired to Tap 1.
The red wire should be placed on the speed tap desired
during compressor operation (Y1 signal) – factory wired to
Tap 3 or 4.
The gray wire is not factory wired to the motor and is
tied to the wire harness. It is field connected and can be
used with 3ht/2cl thermostats or IntelliZone to deliver the
required air flow for the Y2 signal.
The tan wire should be placed on the speed tap desired for
auxiliary heat (W signal) – factory wired to Tap 5.

high, low, and “G” ECM speeds can be selected by following
the LED display lights. LED2 (yellow) will fast flash when
entering the ECM configuration. When setting “G” speed
LED3 (green) will be continuously lit, for low speed LED1
(red) will be continuously lit, and for high speed both LED3
(green) and LED1 (red) will be continuously lit. During the
ECM configuration mode LED2 (yellow) will flash each of
the 12 possible blower speeds 3 times. When the desired
speed is flashed press SW1, LED2 will fast flash until SW1
is released. “G” speed has now been selected. Next select
low speed, and high speed blower selections following the
same process above. After third selection has been made,
the control will exit the ECM configuration mode. Aux fan
speed will remain at default or current setting and requires
the AID Tool for adjustment.

ECM Blower Speeds
The blower speeds can be changed either by using the
ECM manual configurations mode method or by using the
Aurora AID Tool directly (see Instruction Guide: Aurora
Interface and Diagnostics (AID) Tool topic).
Field Selectable Options via Software
(Selectable via the Aurora AID Tool)
ECM Blower Speeds
An ECM blower motor can be driven directly using the
onboard PWM output. Four blower speeds are available,
based upon the “G”, Y1 (low), Y2 (high), and Aux input
signals to the board. The blower speeds can be changed
either by the ECM manual configurations mode method (see
ECM Configuration Mode topic) or by using the Aurora AID
Tool directly. All four blower speeds can be set to the same
speed if desired. Aux blower speed will remain at default or
current setting and requires the AID Tool for adjustment.
Lockout – when locked out, the blower will operate
continuously in “G” speed, and PSC blower motor output
will remain on. The Alarm output (ALM) and Lockout output
(L) will be turned on. The fault type identification display
LED1 (Red) shall flash the fault code. To reset lockout
conditions with SW2-8 On, thermostat inputs “Y1”, “Y2”,
and “W” must be removed for at least 3 seconds. To reset
lockout conditions with SW2-8 Off, thermostat inputs “Y1”,
“Y2”, “W”, and “DH” must be removed for at least 3 seconds.
Lockout may also be reset by turning power off for at least
30 seconds or by enabling the emergency shutdown input
for at least 3 seconds.
Lockout With Emergency Heat - if the control is locked out
in the heating mode, and a Y2 or W input is received, the
control will operate in the emergency heat mode while the
compressor is locked out. The first emergency heat output will
be energized 10 seconds after the W input is received, and the
blower will shift to high speed. If the control remains locked
out, and the W input is present, additional stage of emergency
heat will stage on after 2 minutes. When the W input is
removed, all of the emergency heat outputs will turn off, and
the ECM blower will shift to “G” speed and PSC blower motor
output will remain on.
High Pressure – fault is recognized when the Normally
Closed High Pressure Switch, P4-9/10 opens, no matter
how momentarily. The High Pressure Switch is electrically in
series with the Compressor Contactor and serves as a hardwired limit switch if an overpressure condition should occur.
Low Pressure - fault is recognized when the Normally
Closed Low Pressure Switch, P4-7/8 is continuously open
for 30 seconds. Closure of the LPS any time during the 30
second recognition time restarts the 30 second continuous
open requirement. A continuously open LPS shall not be
recognized during the 2 minute startup bypass time.
Loss of Charge – fault is recognized when the Normally
Closed Low Pressure Switch, P4-7/8 is open prior to the
compressor starting.
Safety Features
The following safety features are provided to protect the
compressor, heat exchangers, wiring and other components
from damage caused by operation outside of design conditions.
Fuse – a 3 amp automotive type plug-in fuse provides
protection against short circuit or overload conditions.
Random Start – 5 to 80 second random start upon power up.
Fault Retry – in the fault condition, the control will stage off
the outputs and then “try again” to satisfy the thermostat
Y input call. Once the thermostat input calls are satisfied,
the control will continue on as if no fault occurred. If 3
consecutive faults occur without satisfying the thermostat
Y input call, then the control will go to Lockout mode.
Condensate Overflow - fault is recognized when the
impedance between this line and 24 VAC common or chassis
ground drops below 100K ohms for 30 seconds continuously.
Freeze Detection (Coax) - set points shall be either 30°F
or 15°F. When the thermistor temperature drops below
the selected set point, the control shall begin counting
down the 30 seconds delay. If the thermistor value rises
above the selected set point, then the count should reset.
The resistance value must remain below the selected set
point for the entire length of the appropriate delay to be
recognized as a fault. This fault will be ignored for the initial
2 minutes of the compressor run time.
Freeze Detection (Air Coil) - uses the FP2 input to protect
against ice formation on the air coil. The FP2 input will
operate exactly like FP1 except that the set point is 30
degrees and is not field adjustable.

Controls - Aurora Base Control cont.
VERSATEC BASE SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL
Over/Under Voltage Shutdown - An over/under voltage
condition exists when the control voltage is outside the
range of 18 VAC to 30 VAC. If the over/under voltage
shutdown lasts for 15 minutes, the lockout and alarm relay
will be energized. Over/under voltage shutdown is selfresetting in that if the voltage comes back within range
of 18 VAC to 30 VAC for at least 0.5 seconds, then normal
operation is restored.
Operation Description
Power Up - The unit will not operate until all the inputs and
safety controls are checked for normal conditions. The unit
has a 5 to 80 second random start delay at power up. Then
the compressor has a 4 minute anti-short cycle delay after
the random start delay.
tandby In standby mode, Y1, Y2, W, DH, and G are not
active. Input O may be active. The blower and compressor
will be off.
Heating Operation
Heating, 1st Stage (Y1) - The blower is started on “G” speed
immediately and the compressor is energized 10 seconds
after the Y1 input is received. The ECM blower motor is
switched to low speed 15 seconds after the Y1 input.
Heating, 2nd Stage (Y1, Y2) - The compressor will be
staged to full capacity 20 seconds after Y2 input is
received. The ECM blower will shift to high speed 15
seconds after the Y2 input is received.
Heating, 3rd Stage (Y1, Y2, W) - The hot water pump is deenergized and the first stage of electric heat is energized
10 seconds after the W command is received. If the
demand continues the second stage of electric heat will be
energized after 5 minutes.
Emergency Heat (W) - The blower will be started on “G”
speed, 10 seconds later the first stage of electric heat will
be turned on. 5 seconds after the first stage of electric
heat is energized the blower will shift to Aux speed. If the
emergency heat demand is not satisfied after 2 minutes the
second electric heat stage will be energized.
Blower (G) - The blower will start immediately upon
receiving a thermostat G command. If there are no other
commands from the thermostat the ECM will run on “G”
speed until the G command is removed. Regardless of
blower input (G) from the thermostat, the blower will
remain on for 30 seconds at the end of each heating cycle.
Cooling Operation
In all cooling operations, the reversing valve directly tracks
the O input. Thus, anytime the O input is present, the
reversing valve will be energized.
Cooling, 1st Stage (Y1, O) - The blower is started on “G”
speed immediately and the compressor is energized 10
seconds after the Y1 input is received. The ECM blower motor
is switched to low speed 15 seconds after the Y1 input.
Cooling, 2nd Stage (Y1, Y2, O) - The compressor will
be staged to full capacity 20 seconds after Y2 input
is received. The ECM blower will shift to high speed 15
seconds after the Y2 input is received.
Blower (G) - The blower will start immediately upon
receiving a thermostat G command. If there are no other
commands from the thermostat the ECM will run on “G”
speed until the G command is removed. Regardless of
blower input (G) from the thermostat, the blower will
remain on for 30 seconds at the end of each heating,
cooling, and emergency heat cycle.
Dehumidification (Y1, O, DH or Y1, Y2, O, DH) - When a
DH command is received from the thermostat during a
compressor call for cooling the ECM blower speed will be
reduced by 15% to increase dehumidification.
Emergency Shutdown - Four (4) seconds after a valid ES
input, P2-7 is present, all control outputs will be turned off
and remain off until the emergency shutdown input is no
longer present. The first time that the compressor is started
after the control exits the emergency shutdown mode,
there will be an anti-short cycle delay followed by a random
start delay. Input must be tied to common to activate.
Continuous Blower Operation - The blower output will
be energized any time the control has a G input present,
unless the control has an emergency shutdown input
present. The blower output will be turned off when G input
is removed.
Load Shed - The LS input disables all outputs with the
exception of the blower output. When the LS input has been
cleared, the anti-short cycle timer and random start timer
will be initiated. Input must be tied to common to activate.

VERSATEC BASE SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL
Controls - UPC DDC Control (optional)
Aurora UPC ControllerZS Series Sensors
The Aurora Unitary Protocol Converter (UPC) is designed
to add-on to any Aurora based heat pump control. The
Aurora Unitary Protocol Convertor (UPC) is designed
to allow water source heat pumps to be integrated into
Building Automation Systems (BAS) with ease. The
Aurora UPC is an integrated solution and communicates
directly with the Aurora Heat Pump Controls and allows
access/control of a variety of internal Aurora heat pump
operations such as sensors, relay operation, faults and
other information. In turn, the UPC then converts internal
Aurora Modbus protocol to BACnet MS/TP, LON, or N2
protocols and communicates to the BAS system. This
provides the great benefit of complete control integration
and a myriad of information available to the BAS from
the heat pump control. Plus it also allows individual unit
configuration such as ECM fan speeds or freeze protection
setting directly over the BAS without the need for access
to the actual heat pump. The Aurora UPC is programmed
using the powerful Eikon object oriented.
The Aurora UPC is implemented with the Aurora Base
Controller (ABC) heat pump control into our latest water
source heat pumps. This will allow for a BAS to integrate
and communicate to the heat pump thru a choice of 3
different communication protocols. The Aurora UPC has
the ability to communicate BACnet MS/TP, N2 open, or
LonWorks (requires LON Plugin card). This flexibility is
possible due to the onboard dipswitches which allow for the
desired protocol and baud rate to be selected in the field.
All zone temperatures and zone sensors are connected
to the UPC on an RNet bus, simplifying hook up at the
unit. RNet sensors can include a combination of zone
temperature and humidity, CO2, and VOC sensors. The
UPC includes built-in support for a custom configurable
keypad/display unit - BACview6 (4-line by 40 character
per line display) or BACview5 (2-line by 16 character per
line display). Up to 2 Keypad/display units can be mounted
remotely for configuration and troubleshooting.
There are an extensive number of points that the UPC has
available over the network for integration into the BAS.
Control programmers need to carefully determine which
points they want to add into the BAS database. A list of
the BACnet points, N2 points, and LON SNVTs are available
along with their individual point descriptions by contacting
the Commercial Solutions Group at 1-877-677-4420.

ZS Series RNet Sensor Overview
The ZS Series line of intelligent zone sensors provides the
function and flexibility you need to manage the conditions
important to the comfort and productivity of the zone
occupants. The ZS sensors are available in a variety of
zone sensing combinations to address your application
needs. These combinations include temperature, relative
humidity, and indoor air quality (carbon dioxide or VOCs
(Volatile Organic Compounds)). They are built to be
flexible allowing for easy customization of what the user/
technician sees. Designed to work with the Aurora UPC
controllers the ZS sensor line includes the ZS Base, ZS
Plus, ZS Pro and ZS Pro-F.
The UPC uses a proprietary communication called Rnet
to receive the space temperature from the zone sensor.
ZS Base
ZS PlusZS Pro
This is done using (2) 18 AWG twisted pair unshielded
cables for a total of 4 wires connected to the Rnet port.
The sensor gets its power from the UPC controller and
connecting multiple sensors to one UPC will allow for space
temperature averaging. The UPC can support one ZS Pro
or ZS Pro F with up to four ZS standard sensors wired to
the Rnet port on the UPC for a total of 5 zone sensors.
The sensors use a precise 10k ohm thermistor with less
than 0.18°F drift over a ten year span, this allows for less
maintenance or re-calibration after installation. The sensors
also have a hidden communication port for connecting
a BACview or local laptop that provides access to the
equipment for commissioning and maintenance. The table
below shows the features of each of the four sensors that
are currently available.

Before Powering Unit, Check The Following:
NOTE: Remove and discard the compressor shipping bolts. The bolts can then be discarded.
• High voltage is correct and matches nameplate.
• Fuses, breakers and wire size correct.
• Low voltage wiring complete.
• Piping completed and water system cleaned and flushed.
• Air is purged from closed loop system.
• Isolation valves are open, water control valves or loop pumps wired.
• Condensate line open and correctly pitched.
• Transformer switched to 208V if applicable.
• Dip switches are set correctly.
• Blower rotates freely – foam shipping support has been removed.
• Blower speed correct.
• Air filter/cleaner is clean and in position.
• Service/access panels are in place.
• Return air temperature is between 50-80°F heating and 60-95°F cooling.
• Check air coil cleanliness to insure optimum performance. Clean as needed according to maintenance guidelines. To
obtain maximum performance the air coil should be cleaned before startup. A 10-percent solution of dishwasher
detergent and water is recommended for both sides of coil, a thorough water rinse should follow.
Startup Steps
NOTE: Complete the Equipment Start-Up/Commissioning Check Sheet during this procedure. Refer to thermostat
operating instructions and complete the startup procedure.
1. Initiate a control signal to energize the blower motor. Check blower operation.
2. Initiate a control signal to place the unit in the cooling mode. Cooling setpoint must be set below room temperature.
3. Cooling will energize after a time delay. Check for correct rotation of scroll compressors in 3 phase applications.
Incorrect rotation will cause low refrigerant pressures and possibly unusual noise. Switch any two power leads at the
compressor or contactor to reverse rotation.
4. Be sure that the compressor and water control valve or loop pump(s) are activated.
5. Verify that the water flow rate is correct by measuring the pressure drop through the heat exchanger using the P/T
plugs and comparing to the pressure drop table.
6. Check the temperature of both the supply and discharge water (Refer to Operating Parameters tables).
7. Check for an air temperature drop of 15°F to 25°F across the air coil, depending on the blower speed and entering
water temperature.
8. Decrease the cooling set point several degrees and verify high-speed blower operation (variable speed ECM only).
9. Adjust the cooling setpoint above the room temperature and verify that the compressor and water valve or loop
pumps deactivate.
10. Initiate a control signal to place the unit in the heating mode. Heating set point must be set above room temperature.
11. Heating will energize after a time delay.
12. Check the temperature of both the supply and discharge water (Refer to Unit Operating Parameters tables).
13. Check for an air temperature rise of 20°F to 35°F across the air coil, depending on the blower speed and entering
water temperature.
14. If auxiliary electric heaters are installed, increase the heating setpoint until the electric heat banks are sequenced on.
All stages of the auxiliary heater should be sequenced on when the thermostat is in the Emergency Heat mode. Check amperage of each element.
15. Adjust the heating setpoint below room temperature and verify that the compressor and water valve or loop
pumps deactivate.
16. During all testing, check for excessive vibration, noise or water leaks. Correct or repair as required.
17. Set system to desired normal operating mode and set temperature to maintain desired comfort level.
18. Instruct the owner/operator in the proper operation of the thermostat and system maintenance.
NOTE: Be certain to fill out and forward all warranty registration papers.

Troubleshooting
Should a major problem develop, refer to the following information for possible causes and corrective steps.
If compressor won’t run:
1. The fuse may be open or the circuit breaker is tripped. Check electrical circuits and motor windings for shorts or
grounds. Investigate for possible overloading. Replace fuse or reset circuit breakers after fault is corrected.
2. Supply voltage may be too low. Check it with a volt meter.
3. Control system may be faulty. Check control for correct wiring of thermostat or aquastat and check the 24 volt transformer for proper voltage.
4. Wires may be loose or broken. Replace or tighten.
5. The low pressure switch may have tripped due to one or more of the following:
a) Heating
1) Plugged heat exchanger on source side
2) Water flow source side - (Low)
3) Water too cold source side
4) Low refrigerant
b) Cooling
1) Plugged heat exchanger on load side
2) Water flow load side - (Low)
3) Water too cold load side
4) Low refrigerant
6. The high pressure switch may have tripped due to one or more of the following:
a) Heating
1) Plugged heat exchanger on load side
2) Low water flow load side
3) Water too warm load side
b) Cooling
1) Plugged heat exchanger on source side
2) Low water flow on source side
3) Water too warm source side
7. The compressor overload protection may be open.
8. The internal winding of the compressor motor may be grounded to the compressor shell. If so, replace the compressor.
9. The compressor winding may be open or shorted. Disconnect power. Check continuity with ohm meter. If the winding is
open, replace the compressor.
If sufficient cooling or heating is not obtained:
1. Check control for improper location or setting.
2. Check for restriction in water flow.
3. Check refrigerant subcooling and superheat for proper refrigerant charge and expansion valve operation.
4. The reversing valve may be defective and creating a bypass of refrigerant. If the unit will not heat, check the reversing
valve coil.
If the unit operation is noisy:
1. Check compressor for loosened mounting bolts. Make sure compressor is floating free on its isolator mounts. Check for
tubing contact with the compressor or other surfaces. Readjust it by bending slightly.
2. Check screws on all panels.
3. Check for chattering or humming in the contactor or relays due to low voltage or a defective holding coil. Replace the
component.
4. Check for proper installation of vibration absorbing material under the unit.
5. Check for abnormally high discharge pressures.
6. Compressor rotation incorrect
Refrigerant Systems
To maintain sealed circuit integrity, do not install service gauges unless unit operation appears abnormal. Compare the
change in temperature on the air side as well as the water side to the Operating Parameters tables. If the unit’s performance
is not within the ranges listed, and the airflow and water flow are known to be correct, gauges should then be installed
and superheat and subcooling numbers calculated. If superheat and subcooling are outside recommended ranges, an
adjustment to the refrigerant charge may be necessary.
NOTE: Verify that air and water flow rates are at proper levels before servicing the refrigerant circuit.

Preventive Maintenance
Water Coil Maintenance
1. Keep all air out of the water. An open loop system should be checked to ensure that the well head is not allowing air to
infiltrate the water line. Lines should always be airtight.
2. Keep the system under pressure at all times. It is recommended in open loop systems that the water control valve be
placed in the discharge line to prevent loss of pressure during off cycles. Closed loop systems must have positive
static pressure.
NOTE: On open loop systems, if the installation is in an area with a known high mineral content (125 PPM or greater) in the
water, it is best to establish with the owner a periodic maintenance schedule so the coil can be checked regularly. Should
periodic coil cleaning be necessary, use standard coil cleaning procedures which are compatible with either the cupronickel
or copper water lines. Generally, the more water flowing through the unit the less chance for scaling.
Other Maintenance
Filters
Filters must be clean to obtain maximum performance. They should be inspected monthly under normal operating
conditions and be replaced when necessary. Units should never be operated without a filter.
Condensate Drain
In areas where airborne bacteria produce a slime in the drain pan, it may be necessary to treat chemically to minimize the
problem. The condensate drain can pick up lint and dirt, especially with dirty filters. Inspect twice a year to avoid the
possibility of overflow.
Blower Motors
Blower motors are equipped with sealed ball bearings and require no periodic oiling.
Air Coil
The air coil must be cleaned to obtain maximum performance. Check once a year under normal operating conditions and, if
dirty, brush or vacuum (with a brush attachment) clean. Care must be taken not to damage the aluminum fins while cleaning.
CAUTION: Fin edges are sharp.
Replacement Procedures
Obtaining Parts
When ordering service or replacement parts, refer to the model number and serial number of the unit as stamped on the
serial plate attached to the unit. If replacement parts are required, mention the date of installation of the unit and the date
of failure, along with an explanation of the malfunctions and a description of the replacement parts required.
In-Warranty Material Return
Material may not be returned except by permission of authorized warranty personnel. Contact your local distributor for
warranty return authorization and assistance.
