gEnERal inFoRmation
Single packaged heat pumps are ready for easy and
immediate installation and can be readily connected into
the high static duct system of a home. This unit is completely
assembled, wired, and run tested at the factory. The only
connections needed for installation are the supply and
return ducts, the line voltage, and thermostat wiring. Use
of components other than those specified may invalidate
AHRI Certification, Code Agency Listing, and limited
warranty on the air conditioner.
before You install this unit
√
The cooling load of the area to be conditioned must be
calculated and a system of the proper capacity selected.
It is recommended that the area to be conditioned be
completely insulated and vapor sealed.
√
Check the electrical supply and verify the power supply
is adequate for unit operation. If there is any question
concerning the power supply, contact the local power
company.
√
All units are securely packed at the time of shipment and
upon arrival should be carefully inspected for damage
prior to installing the equipment at the job site. Verify
coil fins are straight. If necessary, comb fins to remove
flattened or bent fins. Claims for damage (apparent or
concealed) should be filed immediately with the carrier.
√
Please consult your dealer for maintenance information
and availability of maintenance contracts. Please read
all instructions before installing the unit.
locating the Heat Pump
• Survey the job site to determine the best location for
mounting the outdoor unit.
• Choose an appropriate location that minimizes the
length of the supply and return air ducts.
• Overhead obstructions, poorly ventilated areas, and
areas subject to accumulation of debris should be
avoided.
• Sufficient clearance for unobstructed airflow through the
outdoor coil must be maintained in order to achieve rated
performance. See
Figure 1
for minimum clearances to
obstructions.
• Consideration should also be given to availability of
electric power, service access, noise, and shade.
air Duct System
Air ducts must be installed in accordance with the standards
of the National Fire Protection Association “Standard for
Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilation Systems”
(NFPA 90A), “Standard for Installation of Residence Type
Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Systems” (NFPA
90B), these instructions, and all applicable codes. NFPA
publications are available by writing to: National Fire
Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, ME
02269 or visit www.NFPA.org on the web.
• Design the duct work according to methods described
by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA).
• The supply duct system, including the number and
type of registers, will have much more effect on the
performance of the system than any other factor. The
REQuiREmEntS & coDES
• All electrical wiring must be completed in accordance
with local, state & national codes and regulations and
with the National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA 70) or in
Canada the Canadian Electric Code Part 1 CSA C.22.1.
• The installer must comply with all local codes and
regulations which govern the installation of this type
of equipment. Local codes and regulations take
precedence over any recommendations contained in
these instructions. Consult local building codes and the
National Electrical Code (ANSI CI) for special installation
requirements.
• This equipment contains liquid and gaseous refrigerant
under high pressure. Installation or servicing should only
be performed by qualified trained personnel thoroughly
familiar with this type equipment.
• Air Ducts must be installed in accordance with the
standards of the National Fire Protection Association
“Standards for Installation of Air Conditioning and
Ventilation Systems” (NFPA 90A), “Standard for
Installation of Residence Type Warm Air Heating and Air
Conditioning Systems” (NFPA 90B), these instructions,
and all applicable local codes.
• Consult
Table 1, (page 8)
, and the rating plate for
the proper circulating air flow and temperature rise. It is
important that the duct system be designed to provide
the correct flow rates and external pressure rise. An
improperly designed duct system can result in nuisance
shutdowns, and comfort or noise issues.
• This unit is designed for outdoor installations only and
should be positioned as described in Locating the Heat
Pump.
• Follow all precautions in the literature, on tags, and
on labels provided with the equipment. Read and
thoroughly understand the instructions provided with
the equipment prior to performing the installation and
operational checkout of the equipment.
• The installer should become familiar with the units wiring
diagram before making any electrical connections to the
unit. See the unit wiring label or
Figure 13 (page 16)
&
