General Installation Information
Safety Considerations
WARNING: Before performing service or maintenance operations on a system, turn off main power
switches to both units. Turn off accessory heater power switch if applicable. 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 qualifi ed ser-
vice 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 fi lters. 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
fi re extinguisher available.
Moving and Storage
Move units in the normal “up” orientation. Do not stack more than three units in total height. When the equipment is
received, all items should be carefully checked against the bill of lading to be sure that all crates and cartons have been
received. Examine units from the cartons 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.
General Information
The ES split compressor section is designed for applications that are not feasible with packaged units. Common applications for the ES split are downfl ow, horizontal, attic or crawlspace installations (where there is a need to have water con-
nections and duct work in different locations). Other applications that are easily adapted to the ES split are replacements of
existing air-to-air heat pumps and fossil fuel furnace add-ons.
It is required that the fi nned air coil be installed on the supply side of the fossil fuel furnace to prevent condensation on
the furnace heat exchanger during cooling mode.
The installation of the ES split is similar to packaged units with the addition of refrigeration piping and charging. Refrigerant lines are to be limited to 50 feet in length. The ES split is manufactured with an extended range expansion valve for
proper performance on earth coupled loop installations.
ARI ratings are based upon a matched compressor section and blower coil section for each model number. Other
manufacturers’ blower coils or mismatched sets may not produce similar/desired results. Using coils other than that specifi ed in the ARI matched rating may alter unit performance.
Split Unit Location
Locate the split compressor section away from areas that may disturb the customer and in a way that allows easy re-
moval of the access panels and the top of the cabinet. Provide suffi cient room to make water, electrical and refrigerant line
connections and allow space for service personnel to perform maintenance. When installed indoors the unit should always
be mounted on a vibration absorbing pad or mesh to reduce noise. The ES split is also approved for outdoor installation
when properly installed.
Duct System
In applications using galvanized metal ductwork, a fl exible duct connector is recommended on both the supply and
return air plenums to minimize vibration from the blower. To maximize sound attenuation of the unit blower, the supply and
return plenums should include an internal duct liner of 1-inch thick glass fi ber or be constructed of ductboard. Insulation is
usually not installed in the supply branch ducts. Ducts in unconditioned areas should be wrapped 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 air handler is connected to existing ductwork, a previous check should have
been made to assure that the duct system has the capacity to handle the air required for the unit application.
If ducting is too small, as in the replacement of heating only systems, larger ductwork should be installed, checked for
leaks and repairs made accordingly. The duct system and diffusers should be sized to handle the design airfl ow quietly. If
air noise or excessive airfl ow is a problem, the blower speed can be changed to a lower speed to reduce airfl ow. This will
reduce the performance of the unit slightly in heating; however, it will increase the temperature rise across the air coil.
Airfl ow must still meet minimum requirements.

General Installation Information (cont.)
Condensate Drain
Follow the blower coil manufacturer’s instructions.
Air Handler Installation
Air handlers used with Dual Capacity units must be capable of operating with a minimum of 2 blower speeds. For details on installing the air handling portion of the system, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the blower coil unit. All
blower coil units/air coils must be installed as specifi ed by the manufacturer’s instructions. However, the following recom-
mendations should be considered to minimize noise and service problems:
An air fi lter must be installed upstream of the air coil on the return air side of the air handler or furnace. If there is lim-
ited access to the fi lter rack for normal maintenance, it is suggested that a return air fi lter grille be installed. Be sure that the
return duct is properly installed and free of leaks to prevent dirt and debris from bypassing the fi lter and plugging the air coil.
Notes: Improper installation of equipment may result in undesirable noise levels in the living areas.
Ensure that the line set size is appropriate to the capacity of the unit (refer to page 15). Line sets should be routed as
directly as possible, avoiding unnecessary bends or turns. Seal all wall penetrations properly. Line sets should not directly
contact water pipes, fl oor joists, wall studs, duct work, fl oors, walls and brick. Line sets should not be suspended from joists
or studs with a rigid wire or strap which directly contacts the tubing. Wide hanger strips which conform to the shape of the
tubing are recommended. Isolate hanger straps from line set insulation by using metal sleeves bent to conform to the shape
of insulation. Line set insulation should be pliable, and should completely surround the vapor tube.

Water Piping
Residential ES split units are supplied standard with brass water connections which will connect to optional internal loop
pump(s) or 3-way valves. The 3-way valves can be adapted to threaded, barb, or fusion fi ttings. Flush and fi ll adapters are
available separately.
ES units are supplied standard with pressure/temperature taps for checking pressure drop and fl ow rates.
CAUTION: Never use fl exible hoses smaller than 1-inch inside diameter on the unit and limit
hose length to 10 feet per connection. Check carefully for water leaks.
CAUTION: Water piping exposed to outside temperatures may be subject to freezing.
Closed Loop - Earth Coupled Systems (Indoor Installations)
Once piping is completed between the unit, the fl ow center and the earth loop, fi nal purging and charging of the loop is
needed. A fl ush cart (at least a 1.5 HP pump) is needed to achieve adequate fl ow velocity in the loop to purge air and dirt
particles from the loop itself. An antifreeze solution is used in most areas to prevent freezing. Maintain the pH in the 7.6 to
8.2 range for fi nal charging. Flush the system adequately to remove as much air as possible. Pressurize the loop to a static
pressure of 40 to 60 psi. This is normally adequate for good system operation. Ensure that the circulating system provides
adequate fl ow through the unit by checking pressure drop across the heat exchanger and comparing it to the fi gures shown
in the table on page 23.

Closed Loop - Earth coupled Systems (Outdoor Installations)
Locate unit on an air pad with access hole as shown below. When mounting on an existing concrete pad, holes must
be bored through to accommodate 1 1/4-inch P.E. pipe with 1/2-inch insulation.
Loop Circulator
The optional fi eld installed, circulating pump(s) and 3-way valve assemblies should be used for outdoor installations.
Wiring connections are supplied in the rear compartment of the unit.
Connecting To Earth Loop
The earth loop trench should be continued directly under the unit as shown in Figure 3. Make the connections to optional fi ttings from the loop circulator pump(s) and insure proper backfi ll to support the loop pipe during trench settling. All 1
1/4-inch piping should be insulated with a minimum of 1/2-inch closed cell insulation from below the ground surface to the
loop circulator.
IMPORTANT
circulator pump if loop temperature drops below 20°F. Loop freeze protection should also be maintained
to the lowest temperature the insulated loop may encounter in the case of power failure.
- A freeze protection thermostat is installed in the unit to automatically start loop
Closed Loop Valve and Pump Kits
Two kits are available when installing pumps inside the unit. The ES-VPK1 contains one pump and fl ush/fi ll valves. The
ES-VPK2 contains two pumps and fl ush/fi ll valves. To determine whether one or two pumps are required, do pressure drop
calculation. Refer to installation instructions for valve/pump kits included in the kit.
Notes: Typically 3 GPM of fl ow per ton of cooling capacity is recommended in earth loop applications.

Open Loop - Well Water Systems
CAUTION: Although the unit is approved for outdoor installations, the use of this product is
prohibited in open loop applications unless installed indoors.
Open Loop Applications
To provide a copper sweat connection for water line piping, remove the brass connectors from the unit. This can be
done with a tube cutter or torch. Be careful to keep debris and contamination out of the water lines. Clean the connections and pipe to the water source using standard plumbing practices. Reference well water piping kit instructions for the
WWK2T, WWK3T as needed. Typical open loop piping is shown below. Always maintain water pressure in the heat exchanger by placing a water control valve at the outlet of the unit and use a closed bladder pressure tank to minimize mineral
deposits. Ensure proper water fl ow through the unit by checking pressure drop across the heat exchanger and comparing it
to the fi gures in the table on page 23.
Water control valves draw their power directly from a unit’s 24V transformer and can overload and possibly burn out the
transformer. Check total VA draw of the water valve and ensure that it is under 15 VA.
Notes: Normally, about a 2 GPM fl ow rate per ton (1.5 GPM/ton minimum for EWT > 50°F) of cooling capacity is needed in
open loop systems.
Discharge water from the unit is not contaminated in any manner and can be disposed of in various ways depending on
local building codes (i.e. recharge well, storm sewer, drain fi eld, adjacent stream or pond, etc.). Most local codes forbid use
of sanitary sewer for disposal. Consult your local building and zoning department to assure compliance in your area.
Water Quality
In applications where the water quality cannot be held to prescribed limits, the use of a secondary or intermediate heat
exchanger is recommended to separate the unit from the contaminated water. The following table outlines the water quality
guidelines for unit heat exchangers. If these conditions are exceeded, a secondary heat exchanger is recommended.

Service valves have been provided inside the unit for connecting the discharge gas line to a water heating heat recov-
ery unit (see fi gure 5). To make the connections, close the service valves inside the unit by turning clockwise. Using a
recovery canister connect to either of the schrader ports on the DSH service valves and recover the small amount of refrigerant trapped inside of the U-tube. Prior to brazing ensure that all refrigerant has been removed from U-tube. Once
the refrigerant is removed, it is recommended that the tube be cut at the “U” to remove any excess oil that may be trapped.
(This will also allow for easier removal of the tubing with a torch, since each section can be removed independently). Ser-vice valves must be protected to prevent overheating. Unbraze the 1/2-inch O.D. U-tube and run tubing from the left
hand service valve to the inlet of the heat recovery unit and from the outlet of the heat recovery unit to the right hand of the
service valve. Typically the one way discharge line length should be limited to 25-30 feet and line size must be increased
depending on unit size and length of run. Follow the instructions supplied with the heat recovery unit for mounting location,
water piping, and start up. A typical installation is shown below.
IMPORTANT - Reopen discharge line service valves before starting up unit, but only after leak checking,
purging, and evacuating new discharge line.

Dual Fuel Systems
ES units can be connected to fossil fuel furnaces that include an A-coil or slab coil. Dual fuel installations utilize the
ES heat pump for heating until the point that auxiliary heat is called for on the thermostat. At that point, the furnace will be
enabled and the heat pump will be disabled. The ES heat pump provides air conditioning through the furnace’s refrigerant
coils.
Refer to the furnace manufacturer’s installation manual for the furnace installation, wiring and coil insertion. A fi eld-in-
stalled SPDT auxiliary heat relay is required. See Figure 7 for typical Dual Fuel application. Figure 8 shows the wiring for
Single Speed ES units. Figure 9 shows wiring for Dual Capacity ES units.

ES SPLIT INSTALLATION MANUAL
Refrigeration
The ES split compressor section contains an adequate charge amount for the compressor section and matching nomi-
nal size air handler. See table below for additional charge amount needed for line set and larger or smaller air handler.
Refrigeration piping on the split consists of installing a brazed copper line set between the blower coil unit and the unit’s
split compressor section. To select the proper tube diameters for the installation, refer to the table below. Line sets over 50
feet long are not recommended because of oil return and pressure drop problems. The suction line must always be insulated. Handle and route the line sets carefully to avoid kinking or bending the tubes. If the line set is kinked or distorted and it
cannot be formed back into its original shape, the bad portion of the pipe should be replaced. A restricted line set will affect
the performance of the system.

Connecting Air Coil
Fasten the copper line set to the blower coil unit as instructed by the coil installation instructions. Install bifl ow fi lter/drier
in liquid line between split unit and air handler. Nitrogen should be bled through the system at 2 to 3 psi to prevent oxidation
inside the refrigerant tubing. Use a low silver phos-copper braze alloy on all brazed connections.
Notes: The air coil should be thoroughly washed with a fi lming agent (automatic dishwashing detergent) to help condensate
drainage. Apply a 20-to -1 solution of detergent and water and spray both sides of coil. Repeat and rinse thoroughly with
water.
Connecting Split Unit
Braze line set to the service valve stubs on the front of the split cabinet. Nitrogen should be bled through the system
at 2 to 3 psi to prevent oxidation contamination. Use a low silver phos-copper braze alloy on all brazed connections. ES
split units are shipped with a factory charge and service valves are not to be opened until the line set has been leak tested,
purged and evacuated. Schrader cores should be removed before brazing. A heat sink should be used on the service
valves to prevent damage caused by excessive heat.
15
Page 16
ES SPLIT INSTALLATION MANUAL
Refrigeration (cont.)
Leak Testing
The refrigeration line set must be pressurized and checked for leaks
before purging and charging the unit. To pressurize the line set, attach
refrigerant gauges to the service ports and add an inert gas (nitrogen or
dry carbon dioxide) until pressure reaches 60 to 90 PSIG. Never use
oxygen or acetylene to pressure test. Use an electronic leak detector or
a good quality bubble solution to detect leaks on all connections made in
the fi eld. Check the service valve ports and stem for leaks and all connec-
tions made in the fi eld. If a leak is found, repair it and repeat the above
steps. For safety reasons do not pressurize the system above 150 psi. Purge pressure from line set. The system is now ready for evacuating and charging.
System Evacuation
Ensure that the line set and air coil are evacuated before opening ser-
vice valves to the split unit. The line set must be evacuated to at least 200
microns to remove moisture and air that may still be in the line set and coil.
Evacuate the system through both service ports to prevent false readings
on the gauge because of pressure drop through service ports.
Charging the System
Total Charging Method - See table on page 15 for the factory charge
and total charge of the split units. For line sets, add the specifi ed refriger-
ant to the factory charge for every installed foot of liquid line over 25 feet.
Example: Model ES048 with 29 feet of installed liquid line (3/8-inch
O.D.). The factory charge of an ES048 is 116 oz. plus 4 feet of liquid line x
0.50 oz. per ft. = 2.0 oz. + 116 oz. = 118.0 oz. (Total Charge). The ES048
is shipped from the factory with 116 oz. of refrigerant; the amount to be
added is 118.0 oz. - 116 oz. = 2.0 oz.
Add the required refrigerant so that the total charge calculated for
the unit and line set is now in the system. Fully open the service valves
by turning counterclockwise. Start the unit in heating mode and measure
superheat and subcooling values after at least fi ve minutes of run time.
See page 20 for examples of measuring superheat and subcooling performance values. After values are measured, compare to tables on pages 21
and 22 and go to FINAL EVALUATION.
Partial Charge Method - After purging and evacuating the line set,
fully open the service valves counterclockwise. Add R-410A (liquid) into
the liquid line service port until the pressure in the system reaches approximately 200 PSIG. Never add liquid refrigerant into the suction side
of a compressor. Start the unit and measure superheat and subcooling.
Keep adding refrigerant until the unit meets the superheat and subcooling
values on pages 21 and 22.

Final Evaluation
After the initial check of superheat/subcooling values in the heating mode, shut off the unit and allow it to sit 3 to 5 min-
utes until pressures equalize. Restart the unit in the cooling mode and check the values against those in tables on pages
21 and 22. If the unit performs satisfactorily, charging is complete. If the unit does not perform to specifi cations, the charge
may need to be readjusted until the values are close. Adding refrigerant will increase subcooling. Recovering some of the
refrigerant will decrease subcooling and increase superheat. If the superheat/subcooling values are still not close to the
specifi cations in tables on pages 21 and 22, analyze refrigerant circuit operation.

Startup Steps
ES SPLIT INSTALLATION MANUAL
Notes: Starting the compressor without a minimum of 1-2 hours of crankcase heat prior to initial startup may result in
compressor chattering and possible damage to the compressor.
The unit is equipped with a crankcase heater which operates when the compressor is OFF. Energize crankcase heater
1.
24 hours before starting unit. To energize heater only, set indoor thermostat to OFF position and close power disconnect to unit.
Turn thermostat fan to the “ON” position. Blower should operate.
2.
Balance airfl ow at registers and adjust fan speed if necessary.
3.
Set thermostat to highest temperature.
4.
Set thermostat operation switch to “COOL” position. Compressor should NOT come on.
5.
Slowly reduce the thermostat setting until both the compressor and water control valve or loop pumps are activated.
6.
Verify that the compressor is on and that the water fl ow rate is correct by measuring pressure drop through the heat
exchanger (using the P/T plugs and comparing to table on page 23).
Check the temperature of both the supply and discharge water (see tables on pages 21 - 22).
7.
If temperature rise is within range of tables on page 21-22 proceed to step 9. Otherwise check the cooling refrigerant
8.
pressures and compare to tables on pages 21-22.
Check for air temperature drop of 16°F to 25°F across the air coil.
9.
Turn thermostat switch to “OFF” position. A hissing should indicate proper functioning of reversing valve.
10.
Leave unit “OFF” for approximately fi ve (5) minutes to allow pressure to equalize.
11.
Turn thermostat to lowest setting.
12.
Set thermostat switch to “Heat” position.
13.
Turn thermostat operation to higher temperatures until both compressor and water control valve are activated.
14.
If temperature drop through the coaxial heat exchanger is within range of the tables on pages 21-22, proceed to step
15.
16. Otherwise check the heating refrigerant pressures and compare to tables on pages 21-22.
Check for air temperature rise of 20°F to 35°F across the air coil.
16.
Turn the thermostat to a higher setting to make certain that the fi rst stage of auxiliary heat is activated and (if installed
17.
and mode switch set correctly) with the appropriate temperature rise across the heater.
Confi rm that all stages of the auxiliary heat come on when the thermostat is in “EMERGENCY HEAT” mode.
18.
Check for vibrations, noise and water leaks.
19.
Set system to maintain desired comfort level.
20.
Instruct the owner/operator on correct thermostat and system operation.

Modes of Operation
Heating Operation
Notes: At fi rst power up, a four-minute time delay is employed before the compressor is energized.
Heat, 1st Stage (Y1)
The compressor and loop pumps are energized 10 seconds after the Y1 input.
Heat, 2nd Stage (Y1, W) Single-Speed Units
The auxiliary heat relay will disconnect the compressor, and the auxiliary heat will operate normally.
Heat, 2nd Stage (Y1, Y2) Dual Capacity Units
The 1st stage compressor and loop pumps are de-energized 10 seconds after the Y2 input. The 2nd stage compressor
and loop pumps are energized 1 minute after the 1st stage compressor is de-energized.
Heat, 3rd Stage (Y1, Y2, W) Dual Capacity Units
The auxiliary heat relay will disconnect the compressor, and the auxiliary heat will operate normally.
Cooling Operation
In all cooling operations, the reversing valve directly tracks the
reversing valve will be energized.
Cool, 1st Stage (Y1, O)
The compressor and loop pumps are energized 10 seconds after the Y1 input.
Cool, 2nd Stage (Y1, Y2, O) Dual Capacity Units
The 1st stage compressor and loop pumps are de-energized 10 seconds after the Y2 input. The 2nd stage compressor
and loop pumps are energized 1 minute after the 1st stage compressor is de-energized.

Fan Only Operation
The Fan Only mode is controlled directly from the unit thermostat to the unit air handler. No input is given to the micro-
processor to operate the fan function.

Modes of Operation (cont.)
Lockout Conditions
During lockout mode, the appropriate thermostat lockout LEDs (if available) will illuminate. The compressor and loop
pumps are de-energized and if the thermostat calls for third stage heating, emergency heat operation will occur.
Lockout modes of any kind can be reset at the thermostat after a 5-second waiting period, which restores normal
operation.
High Pressure
This lockout mode occurs immediately when the normally closed safety switch is momentarily opened.
Low Pressure
This lockout mode occurs when the normally closed switch is opened for 30 continuous seconds.
Freeze Protection (Water Flow)
This lockout mode occurs when the freeze protection thermistor temperature (located between the TXV and coax) is at
or below the selected freeze protection point (well 30°F or loop 15°F) for 30 continuous seconds.
The unit also contains a secondary freeze protection sensor located on the entering water line of the unit. If the loop
reaches a temperature of 20°F the secondary freeze protection sensor will cycle the loop pumps "on" until the loop temperature rises to or above 25°F.

Checking Superheat and Subcooling
Determining Superheat
Measure the temperature of the suction line at the point where the expansion valve bulb is clamped.
1.
Determine the suction pressure in the suction line by attac hing refrigeration gauges to the schrader connection on
2.
the suction side of the compressor.
Convert the pressure obtained in Step 2 to the saturation temperature by using the R-410A Pressure/Temperature
3.
Conversion Chart on page 26.
Subtract the temperature obtained in Step 3 from Step 1. The difference is the amount of superheat for the unit. Refer
4.
to tables on pages 21-22 for superheat ranges at specifi c entering water conditions. The fi gure below illustrates a
typical example of how to measure superheat on the unit using R-410A. The temperature of the suction line at the
sensing bulb is 50°F. The suction pressure at the compressor is 114 PSIG which is equivalent to 38°F saturation
temperature (R-410A Pressure/Temeprature Conversion Chart, page 26).
50°F - 38°F = 12°F Superheat
Determining Subcooling
Measure the temperature of the liquid line on the small refrigerant line (liquid line) just outside the split cabinet. This
1.
location will be adequate for measurement in both modes unless a signifi cant temperature drop in the liquid line is
anticipated.
Measure the liquid line pressure by attaching refrigerant gauges to the schrader connection on the liquid line service
2.
valve.
Convert the pressure obtained in Step 2 to the saturation temperature by using the R-410A Pressure/Temperature
3.
Conversion Chart on page 26.
Subtract the temperature in Step 1 from the temperature in Step 3. The difference will be the subcooling value for
4.
that unit. Refer to tables on pages 21-22 for values at specifi c entering water temperatures. The fi gures below
illustrate a typical example of measuring refrigeration subc o oling using R-410A. The temperature of the liquid line
after leaving the condensing coil is 90°. The liquid line pressure at the service valve is 356 PSIG, which is equivalent
to 108°F.
108°F - 90°F = 18°F Subcooling

Service
Should a problem develop, refer to the following information for possible causes and corrective steps:
If neither fan nor compressor run:
The fuse may be blown or the circuit breaker may be open. Check electrical circuits and motor windings for shorts or
1.
grounds. Investigate for possible over loading. Replace fuse or reset circuit breakers after fault is corrected.
Supply voltage may be too low. Check it with a VOM.
2.
Control system may be faulty. Check thermostat for correct wiring and check 24-volt transformer.
3.
Wires may be loose or broken. Replace or tighten.
4.
If fan operates and the compressor doesn’t:
The low pressure switch may have tripped due to:
1.
a. fouled or plugged coaxial heat exchanger (heating).
b. lack of or no water fl ow (heating).
c. water too cold (heating).
d. not enough air over the air coil due to dirty fi lters (cooling).
e. air coil or fan motor failure (cooling).
f. lack of refrigernat (heating or cooling).
The high pressure may have tripped due to:
2.
a. fouled or plugged coaxial heat exchanger (cooling).
b. lack of or no water fl ow (cooling).
c. water too warm (cooling).
d. not enough airfl ow over the air coil due to dirty fi lters (heating).
e. air coil or fan motor failure (heating).
Check capacitor.
3.
Wires may be loose or broken. Replace or tighten.
4.
The compressor overload protection may be open. If the compressor dome is extremely hot, the overload will not reset
5.
until it has cooled down. If the overload does not reset when cool, it may be defective. Replace the compressor.
The internal winding of the compressor motor may be grounded to the compressor shell. This should cause breaker to
6.
trip when voltage is applied. If so, replace the compressor.
The compressor winding may be open. Check continuity with ohmmeter. If the winding is open, replace the compres-
7.
sor. Make sure compressor is cool before checking windings.
Check thermostat setting, calibration and wiring.
8.
If suffi cient cooling or heating is not obtained:
Check thermostat for improper location. Make sure hole in wall behind thermostat is sealed properly.
1.
Check and clean the fi lter. Airfl ow may be insuffi cient.
2.
Check for restriction in water fl ow.
3.
Check superheat and subcooling for possible refrigerant problem. Refer to pages 18-19 for proper numbers.
4.
The reversing valve may be defective and creating a bypass of refrigerant. If the unit will not cool, check the reversing
5.
valve coil.
If the unit operation is noisy:
Check for fan wheel hitting the housing. Adjust for clearance.
1.
Check for bent fan wheel. Replace if damaged.
2.
Check for loose fan wheel on the shaft. Tighten it.
3.
Check compressor mounting bolts. Make sure compressor is fl oating free on its isolator mounts.
4.
Check for tubing touching the compressor or other surfaces. Readjust it by bending slightly.
5.
Check screws on all panels.
6.
Check for chattering or humming in the contactor or relays due to low voltage or a defective holding coil. Replace the
7.
component.
Check for proper installation of vibration absorbing material under the unit. Unit must be fully supported, not just on
8.
corners.
Check for abnormally high discharge pressures.

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
1.
infi ltrate the water line. Lines should always be airtight.
Keep the system under pressure at all times. It is recommended in open loop systems that a water control valve be
2.
placed in the discharge line to prevent loss of pressure during off cycles. Closed loop systems must have positive static
pressure or airvents may draw air into the system.
If the installation is performed in an area with a known high mineral content in the water, it is best to establish a periodic
3.
maintenance schedule with the owner when the coil can be checked on a regular basis. (the manufacturer recommends cleaning once a year in poor water areas). Should coil cleaning be necessary, use standard coil cleaning procedures which are compatible with either the cupronickel or copper water-to-refrigerant heat exchanger. Generally, the
more water fl owing through the unit, the less chance there is for scaling. Low water fl ow rates produce higher tempera-
tures through the coil and increase the possibility of scale buildup during cooling. To avoid excessive pressure drop
and the possibility of copper erosion, do not exceed GPM fl ow rate as shown on the specifi cation sheets for each unit.
Filter/Coil Maintenance
Filters must be clean to obtain maximum performance. They should be inspected every two to three months under
normal operating conditions and be replaced when necessary. Units should never be operated without a fi lter.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 fi lters. Inspect twice a year to avoid the
possibility of overfl ow.The air coil must be cleaned to obtain maximum performance. Check once a year under normal operating conditions
and, if dirty, brush or vacuum clean. Care must be taken not to damage the aluminum fi ns while cleaning.
Replacement Procedures
Obtaining Parts
When ordering 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 service personnel. Contact your local distributor for
warranty return authorization and assistance.
