Two-Stage Split Geothermal Heat Pump 

Installation & Operating Instructions 

Model: (TST-***) 

 

Application 

 

Retrofit existing forced air installations 

 

Dual Heat – combine this geothermal unit and A-coil with standby 
gas or oil furnace 

 

LMC (Load management control), LMC/INT ready 

 

Tested to UL Standards 1995 

 

Information 

The air coil furnished with this product has been tested and certified 
with this unit.  To maintain the specification performance and product 
certification, the air coil shipped with this unit 

must be

 used.

 

This unit may not be tax credit eligible when a coil other than the 
furnished coil is used. 

 

For optimum performance an ECM blower is recommended. The CFM airflow required in the 
specification table must be matched to the compressor stage by the installed furnace blower/air handler. 

 

Since this product requires line sets and air coil installation, an experienced and licensed refrigeration 
technician is required. 

 

Domestic Water Heater, Desuperheater 

Energy Star promotes the desuperheater and it is offered as an optional item for all TTHERM GEO™ 
heat pumps. Our exclusive GEO Logic™ control system optimizes the operation of a desuperheater, 
operating the systems only when there is adequate energy available to provide heat to the domestic hot 
water.  However, to maximize the times the desuperheater aides in providing domestic hot water, a hot 
water preheat tank is suggested, see Desuperheater section of this manual. 

 

Note

 – The GEO Logic control board has various required setup adjustments, see Field Setup section. 

 

 

DO NOT DESTROY THIS MANUAL.  PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP IN A 

SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE BY A SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
