or local codes in any way. The installation must comply with
all provincial, state, and local codes as well as the National
Electrical Code (U.S.) or Canadian Electrical Code (Canada).
Compliance should be determined prior to installation.
4HP18LT condensing units use R410A which is an ozonefriendly HFC refrigerant. The unit must be installed with a
matching indoor coil and line set. A filter drier approved for
use with R410A is installed in the unit.
Inspection of Shipment
Upon receipt of equipment, carefully inspect it for possible
shipping damage. If damage is found, it should be noted on
the carrier’s freight bill. Take special care to examine the
unit inside the carton if the carton is damaged. Any concealed
damage discovered should be reported to the last carrier
immediately, preferably in writing, and should include a
request for inspection by the carrier’s agent.
If any damages are discovered and reported to the carrier
DO NOT INSTALL THE UNIT, as claim may be denied.
Check the unit rating plate to confirm specifications are
as ordered.

•
Install the unit high enough above the ground or roof to
allow adequate drainage of defrost water and prevent
ice buildup.
•
In heavy snow areas, do not locate the unit where drifting
snow will occur. The unit base should be elevated above
the depth of average snows.
If unit coil cannot be mounted away from prevailing winter
winds, a wind barrier should be constructed (See Figure 3).
Size the barrier at least the same height and width as the
outdoor unit. Mount barrier 24” from the sides of the unit in
the direction of the prevailing winds.
NOTE: Elevation of the unit may be accomplished by
construction a frame using suitable materials. If a
support frame is constructed, it must not block drain
holes in unit base.
•
When installed in areas where low ambient temperatures
exist, locate unit so winter prevailing winds do not blow
directly into outdoor coil.
•
Locate unit away from overhanging roof lines which
would allow water or ice to drop on, or in front of, coil or
into unit.
Slab Mounting
When installing a unit at grade level, install on slab high
enough above grade so that water from higher ground will
not collect around the unit (See Figure 2). Slab should have
a slope tolerance away from the building of 2° or 2” per 5’.
This will prevent ice from building up under the unit during a
defrost cycle. Refer to following roof mounting section for
barrier construction if unit must face prevailing winter winds.

Refrigerant Piping
If the 4HP18LT unit is being installed with a new indoor coil
and line set, the refrigerant connections should be made as
outlined in this section. If an existing line set and/or indoor
coil will be used to complete the system, refer to this section
as well as the section that follows entitled - Flushing
Existing Line Set and Indoor Coil.
If this unit is being matched with an approved line set or
indoor coil which was previously charged with R-22
refrigerant, the line set and coil must be flushed prior to
installation. If the unit is being used with and existing indoor
coil which was equipped with a liquid line which served as a
metering device (RFCI), the liquid line must be replaced prior
to the installation of the 4HP18LT unit.
Field refrigerant piping consists of liquid and suction lines
from the outdoor unit (sweat connections) to the indoor coil
(flare or sweat connections).
Figure 4
1. Install line voltage power supply to unit from a properly
sized disconnect switch. Any excess high voltage field
wiring should be trimmed or secured away from the low
voltage field wiring.
Select line set diameters from Table 2 to ensure that oil
returns to the compressor. Size vertical suction riser to
maintain minimum velocity at minimum capacity.
Recommended line length is 50’ or less. If more than 50’
line set is required, contact Technical Services. Table 2
shows the diameters for line sets up to 100’ although vertical
lift applications and trapping requirements need to be
reviewed with Technical Services for line sets over 50’.
2. Ground unit at unit disconnect switch or to an earth
ground. To facilitate conduit, a hole is in the bottom of
the control box. Connect conduit to the control box
using a proper conduit fitting. Units are approved for
use only with copper conductors. 24V Class II circuit
connections are made in the low voltage junction box.
Refer to Figure 4 for high voltage field wiring diagram.
A complete unit wiring diagram is located inside the unit
control box cover.
Installing Refrigerant Line
During the installation of an air conditioning system, it is
important to properly isolate the refrigerant line to prevent
unnecessary vibration. Line set contact with the structure
(wall, ceiling, or floor) may cause objectionable noise when
vibration is translated into sound. As a result, more energy
or vibration can be expected. Close attention to line set
isolation must be observed.
3. Install room thermostat on an inside wall that is not
subject to drafts, direct sunshine, or other heat sources.
Following are some points to consider when placing and
installing a high-efficiency outdoor unit:
4. Install low voltage wiring from outdoor to indoor unit
and from thermostat to indoor unit. (See Wire Diagram
on page 27.)
5. Do not bundle any excess 24V control wire inside
control box. Run control wire through installed wire tie
and tighten wire tie to provide low voltage strain relief
and to maintain seperation of field-installed low and high
voltage circuits.

Placement
Be aware that some localities are adopting sound ordinances
based on how noisy the unit is at the neighbor’s home, not
at the original installation. Install the unit as far as possible
from the property line. When possible, do not install the unit
directly outside a bedroom window. Glass has a verry high
level of sound transmission. Figure 5 shows how to place
the outdoor unit and line set to reduce line set vibration.
Brazing Connection Procedure
1. Cut ends of refrigerant lines square (free from nicks or
dents). Debur the ends. The pipe must remain round; do
not pinch end of line.
Line Set Isolation
Illustrations on pages 6 and 7 demonstrate procedures which
ensure proper refrigerant line set isolation. Figure 6 shows
how to install line sets on horizontal runs. Figure 7 shows
how to make a transition from horizontal to vertical. Figure
8 shows how to install line sets on vertical runs.
3. Use silver alloy brazing rods (5% or 6% silver alloy for
copper-to-copper brazing or 45% silver alloy for copper-tobrass or copper-to-steel brazing) which are rated for use
with R410A refrigerant.
Refrigerant Line Set Diameters (in.)
5. Remove light maroon washers from service valves and
shield light maroon stickers to protect them during brazing.
Wrap a wet cloth around the valve body and copper tube
stub to protect it from heat damage.

2. Before making line set connections, use dry nitrogen to
purge the refrigerant piping. This will help to prevent oxidation and the introduction of moisture into the system.
4. Remove the Schrader core assemblies before brazing to
protect them from damage due to extreme heat. Replace
the cores when brazing is complete.

6. Braze the line set to the service valve. Quench the joints
with water or a wet cloth to prevent heat damage to the
valve core and opening port. The tube end must stay
bottomed in the fitting during final assembly to ensure
proper seating, sealing, and rigidity.
7. Install the thermal expansion valve which is sold
separately and which is approved for use with R410A
refrigerant in the liquid line at the indoor coil (see Refrigerant
Metering Device on page 9).
CAUTION
When flushing existing line set and/or indoor coil, be sure to
empty all existing traps. Residual mineral oil can act as an
insulator, preventing proper heat transfer. It can also clog
the thermal expansion valve, reducing system performance
and capacity. Failure to properly flush system as explained
in these instructions will void warranty.

Flushing Existing Line Set and Indoor Coil
This procedure should not be performed on systems
which contain contaminants, such as compressor burn
out.
Required Euipment
The following equipment is needed to flush the existing line
set and indoor coil (See Figure 9). Two clean R-22 recovery
bottles, an oil-less recovery machine with a “pump down”
feature, and two sets of gauges (one for use with R-22 and
one for use with R410A).
from the existing system. Refer to the gauges after shutdown
to confirm that the entire system is completely void of
refrigerant. Disconnect the liquid and suction lines from the
existing outdoor unit.
If the existing outdoor unit is equipped with manual shutoff
valves AND new R-22 refrigerant will be used to flush the
system:
Start the existing R-22 refrigerant system in cooling mode
and close the liquid line valve. Pump all the existing R-22
refrigerant back into the outdoor unit.
(It may be necessary to bypass the low pressure switches
to ensure complete refrigerant evacuation.)
Flushing Procedure
IMPORTANT: The line set and/or indoor coil must be
flushed with at least the same amount of refrigerant that
previously charged the system. Check the charge in the
flushing cylinder before flushing the unit.
1. Remove existing R-22 refrigerant using the appropriate
procedure.
If the existing outdoor unit is not equipped with shutoff valves,
or if the unit is not operational AND the existing R-22
refrigerant will be used to flush the system:
Disconnect all power to the existing outdoor unit. Connect
the existing unit, a clean recovery cylinder, and the recovery
machine according to the instructions provided with the
recovery machine. Remove all R-22 refrigerant
When the low side system pressures reach 0 psig, close
the suction line valve. Disconnect all power to the existing
outdoor unit. Refer to the gauges after shutdown to confirm
that the valves are not allowing refrigerant to flow back into
the low side of the system. Disconnect the liquid and suction
lines from the existing outdoor unit.
2. Remove the existing outdoor unit. Set the new R410A
unit and follow the brazing connection procedure outlined
previously on this page to make line set connections. Do
not install the R410A thermal expansion valve at this
time.
3. Make low voltage and line voltage connections to the
new outdoor unit. Do not turn on power to the unit or
open the outdoor unit service valves at this time.
Flushing Connections
Figure 9
506470-01
Issue 1007
Page 8
4. Remover the existing R-22 refrigerant flow control orifice
or thermal expansion valve before continuing with flushing
procedures. R-22 flow control devices are not approved for
use with R410A refrigerant and may prevent proper flushing.
Use a field-provided fitting to reconnect the lines.
An R410A system will not operate properly with an R-22
metering device.
Install the refrigerant metering device as shown in Figure
11. Do not twist cap tubes when loosening the seal nut from
the orifice housing. Use wrench to back up the distributor.
5. Remove the pressure tap valve cores from the 4HP18LT
units service valves. Connect an R-22 cylinder with clean
refrigerant to the suction service valve. Connect the R-22
gauge set to the liquid line valve and connect a recovery
maching with an empty recovery tank to the gauge set.
6. Set the recovery machine for liquid recovery and start
the recovery machine. Open the gauge set valves to allow
the recovery machine to pull a vacuum on the existing system
line set and indoor coil.
7. Invert the cylinder of clean R-22 and open its valve to
allow liquid refrigerant to flow in to the system through the
suction line valve. Allow the refrigerant to pass from the
cylinder and through the line set and the indoor coil before it
enters the recovery machine.
8. After all of the liquid refrigerant has been recovered, switch
the recovery machine to vapor recovery so that all of the R22 vapor is recovered. Allow the recovery machine to pull a
vacuum on the sytem.
NOTE: A single system flush should remove all of the mineral
oil from the existing refrigerant lines and indoor coil. A second
flushing may be done (using clean refrigerant) if insufficient
amounts of mineral oil were removed during the first flush.
After each system flush, allow the recovery machine to
pull a vacuum on the system at the end of the procedure.

MODEL
9. Close the valve on the inverted R-22 cylinder and the
gauge set valves. Pump the remaining refrigerant out of
the recovery machine and turn the machine off.
10. Use nitrogen to break the vacuum on the refrigerant
lines and indoor coil before removing the recovery machine,
gauges, and R-22 refrigerant drum. Re-install pressure tap
valve cores into the 4SHP18LT unit’s service valves.
11. Install the fixed orifice (or thermal expansion valve
approved for use with R410A refrigerant) in the liquid line at
the indoor coil.

To install an expansion valve (See Figure 10 above):
1. Separate the distributor assembly and remove the piston
orifice and used teflon seal. Insert nozzle end of the
expansion valve along with a new teflon seal into the
distributor and tighten to 20 - 30 ft. lbs. Use backup wrench
on all wrench flats. Overtightening will crush the teflon
seal and may cause a leak.
2. Attach liquid line portion of distributor assembly along
with new teflon seal to the inlet of the expansion valve.
Tighten to 20 - 30 ft. lbs. Use backup wrench on all wrench
flats. Overtightening will crush the teflon seal and may
cause a leak.

3. Connect the external equalizer line to the equalizer port
on the suction line and tighten to 8 ft.lbs.
4. Strap the superheat sensing bulb to the suction header.
If installing an expansion valve on an indoor coil that
previously used a fixed orifice, be sure to remove the existing
fixed orifice. Failure to remove a fixed orifice when installing
an expansion valve to the indoor coil will result in improper
operation and damage to the system.
Manifold Gauge Set
Manifold guage sets used with systems charged with R410A
refrigerant must be capable of handling the higher system
operating pressures. The gauges should be rated for use
with pressures 1 - 800 on the high side and a low side of 30”
vacuum to 250 psi with dampened speed to 500 psi. Gauge
hoses must be rated for use at up to 800 psi of pressure
with a 4000 psi burst rating.
Suction Line (Ball Type) Service Valve
Suction line (ball type) service valves function the same way
as the other valves; the difference is in the construction (See
Figure 12).
The ball valve is equipped with a service port with a factoryinstalled Schrader valve. A service port cap protects the
Schrader valve from contamination and serves as the
primary seal.
Leak Testing
After the line set has been connected to the indoor and
outdoor units, the line set connections and indoor unit must
be checked for leaks.
Liquid and Suction Line Service Valves
The liquid line and suction line service valves (See Figure
11) and service ports are used for leak teating, evacuation,
charging, and checking charge.
Each valve is equipped with a service port which has a
factory-installed Schrader valve. A service port cap protects
the Schrader valve from contamination and serves as the
primary leak seal.
To Access the Schrader Port:
1. Remove the service port cap with an adjustable wrench.
2. Connect gauge to the service port.
3. When testing is completed, replace service port cap.
Tighten finger tight, then an additional 1/6 turn.
To Open Liquid or Suction Line Service Valve:
Remove stem cap with an adjustable wrench.
Use service wrench with a hex-head extension to back the
stem out counterclockwise as far as it will go. Use a 3/16”
hex head extension for liquid line service valves and a 5/
16” extension for suction line service valves.
Replace the stem cap. Tighten finger tight, then tighten an
additional 1/6 turn.
To Close Liquid or Suction Line Service Valve:
1. Remove the stem cap with an adjustable wrench.
Figure 11
2. Use a service wrench with a hex-head extension to turn
the stem clockwise to seat the valve. Tighten firmly.
3. Replace the stem cap. Tighten finger tight, then tighten
an additional 1/6 turn.
506470-01

Page 10
3. Open the high pressure side of the manifold to allow
R410A into the line set and indoor unit. Weigh in a trace
amount of R410A. (A trace amount is a maximum of 2 oz.
of refrigerant or 3 lbs. pressure.) Close the valve on the
R410A cylinder and the valve on the high pressure side of
the manifold gauge set. Disconnect the R410A cylinder.
4. Connect a cylinder of nitrogen with a pressure regulating
valve to the center port of the manifold gauge set. When
using high pressure gas such as nitrogen for this
purpose, be sure to use a regulator that can control the
pressure down to 1 or 2 psig.
5. Adjust nitrogen pressure to 150 psig. Open the valve on
the high side of the manifold gauge set to pressurize the
line set and the indoor coil.
6. After a short period of time, open a refrigerant port to
make sure that an adequate amount of refrigerant has been
added for detection (refrigerant requirements will vary with
lenths). Check all joints for leaks. Purge nitrogen and R410A
mixture. Correct any leaks and rechecks.
Evacuation
Evacuating the system of noncondensables is critical for
proper operation of the unit. Noncondensables are defined
as any gas that will not condense under temperatures and
pressures present during operation of an air conditioning
system. Noncondensables and water vapor combine with
refrigerant to produce substances that corrode copper piping
and compressor parts.
Figure 12
WARNING
Refrigerant can be harmful if inhaled. Refrigerant must
always be used and recovered responsibly. Incorrect
or irresponsible use of refrigerant can result in personal
injury or death.
WARNING
Do Not use a compressor to evacuate a system. Avoid
deep vacuum operation. Extremely low vacuums can
cause internal arcing and compressor failure. Danger
of equipment damage. Damage caused by deep vacuum
operation will void warranty.
WARNING
Never use oxygen to pressurize refrigeration or air conditioning systems. Oxygen will explode on contact with
oil and could cause personal injury or death.
Use a thermocouple or thermistor electronic vacuum gauge
that is calibrated in microns. Use an instrument that reads
down to 50 microns.
Using an Electronic Leak Detector
1. Connect the high pressure hose of the manifold gauge
set to the suction valve service port. (Normally the high
pressure hose is connected to the liquid line port; however,
connecting it to the suction ports helps to protect the manifold
gauge set from damage caused by high pressure.)
2. With both manifold valves closed, connect the cylinder of
R410A refrigerant. Open the valve on the R410A cylinder
(vapor only).
506470-01
1. Connect the manifold gauge set to the service valve ports
as follows:
• Low pressure gauge to suction line service valve
• High pressure gauge to liquid line service valve.
2. Connect micron gauge.
3. Connect the vacuum pump (with vacuum gauge) to the
center port of the manifold gauge set.
Issue 1007
Page 11
4. Open both manifold valves and start vacuum pump.
5. Evacuate the line set and indoor unit to a minimum of
500 microns or lower. During the early stages of evacuation,
it is desirable to close the manifold gauge valve at least once
to determine if there is a rapid rise in pressure. A rapid rise
in pressure indicates a relatively large leak. If this occurs,
the leak testing procedure must be repeated.
6. When 500 microns or lower is maintained, close the
manifold gauge valves, turn off the vacuum pump, and
disconnect the manifold gauge center port hose from the
vacuum pump. Attach the manifold gauge center port hose
to a nitrogen cylinder with pressure regulator set to 150 psig
and purge the hose. Open the manifold gauge valves to
break the vacuum in the line set and indoor unit. Close the
manifold gauge valves.
7. Shut off the nitrogen cylinder and remove the manifold
gauge hose from the cylinder. Open the manifold gauge
valves to release the nitrogen from the line set and indoor
unit.
8. Reconnect the manifold gauge to the vacuum pump,
turn the pump on, and continue to evacuate the line set and
indoor unit until 500 microns is maintained within a 20 minute
period after shutting off the vacuum pump and closing the
manifold gauge valves.
9. When the requirements above have been met, disconnect
the manifold hose from the vacuum pump. Open the service
valves to break the vacuum in the line set and indoor unit.

within range shown on unit nameplate.
Refrigerant Charging
This system is charged with R410A refrigerant which
operates at much higher pressures than R-22. The liquid
line drier provided with the unit is approved for use with
R410A. Do not replace it with one designed for use with R22. This unit is NOT approved for use with coils which
use capillary tubes as a refrigerant metering device.
R410A refrigerant cylinders are rose colored.
Refrigerant should be added through the suction valve
in the liquid state.
Certain R410A cylinders are identified as being equipped
with a dip tube. These allow liquid refrigerant to be
drawn from the bottom of the cylinder without inverting
the cylinder. Do not turn this type of cylinder upside
down to draw refrigerant.
Mineral oils are not compatible with R410A. If oil must
be added, it must be a polyolester oil.
If the system is void of refrigerant, clean the system using
the procedure described below.
1. Use dry nitrogen to pressurized the system and check
for leaks. Repair leaks, if possible.
2. Evacuate the system to remove as much of the moisture
as possible.
3. Use dry nitrogen to break the vacuum.
4. Evacuate the system again.
5. Weigh the appropriate amount of R410A refrigerant (listed
on unit nameplate) into the system.
6. Monitor the system to determine the amount of moisture
remaining in the oil. Use a test kit to verify that the moisture
content is withing the kit’s dry color range. It may be
necessary to replace the filter drier several times to achieve
the required dryness level. If system dryness is not
verified, the compressor will fail in the future.
The outdoor unit should be charged during warm weather.
However, applications arise in which charging must occur in
the colder months. The method of charging is determined
by the unit’s refrigerant metering device and the outdoor
ambient temperature.
Measure the liquid line temperature and the outdoor ambient
temperature as outlined below:
506470-01
Issue 1007
Page 13
Figure 13
1. Connect the manifold gauge set to the service valve ports
as follows (See Figure 13 above):
2. Conduct a leak check, then evacuate as previously
outlined.
3. Weigh in the charge according to the total amount shown
on the unit nameplate.
• Low pressure gauge to suction line service valve
• High pressure gauge to liquid line service valve
2. Close manifold gauge set valves. Connect the center
manifold hose to an upright cylinder of R410A.
3. If room temperature is below 70°F, set the room
thermostat to call for heat. This will create the necessary
load for properly charging the system in the cooling cycle.
4. Use a digital thermometer to record the outdoor ambient
temperature.
5. When the heating demand has been satisfied, switch the
thermostat to cooling mode with a set point of 68°F. When
pressures have stabilized, use a digital thermometer to
record the liquid and suction line temperatures.
6. The outdoor temperature will determine which charging
method to use. Proceed with the appropriate charging
method.
Charge Using Weigh-In Method (Fixed Orifice/TXV
Systems) - Outdoor Temperatures Below 65°F
If the system is void of refrigerant, or if the outdoor ambient
temperature is cool, use the weigh-in method to charge the
unit. Do this after any leaks have been repaired.
If weighing facilities are not available or if unit is being
charged during warm weather, use one of the following
procedures.
Charge Using Subcooling Method (Fixed Orifice/TXV
Systems) - Outdoor Temperatures 65°F or Above
If charging a fixed orifice or TXV system when the outdoor
ambient temperature is 65°F or above, the subcooling
method can be used to charge the unit.
1. With the manifold gauge hose still on the liquid service
port and the unit operating stably, use a digital thermometer
to check the liquid line temperature. For best results, use
the same digital thermometer to check both the outdoor
ambient and the liquid line temperatures.
2. At the same time, record the liquid line pressure reading.
3. Use the temperature/pressure chart (Table 5) to determine
the saturation temperature for the liquid line pressure
reading.
4. Subtract the liquid line temperature from the saturation
temperature (according to the chart) to determine subcooling.
1. Recover the refrigerant from the unit.

Charge Using Approach Method (TXV System) - Outdoor
Temperatures 65°F or Above
The following procedure is intended as a general guide and
is for use on expansion valve systems only. For best results,
indoor temperature should be 70°F to 80°F. Monitor system
pressures while charging.
1. Record outdoor ambient temperature usig a digital
thermometer.
2. Attach high pressure gauge set and operate unit for
several minutes to allow system pressures to stabilize.
3. Compare stabilized pressures with those provided in Table
8. Minor variations in these pressures may be expected
due to differences in installations. Significant differences
could mean that the system is not properly charged or
that a problem exists with some component in the
system. Pressures higher than those listed indicate that
the system is overcharged. Pressures lower than those listed
indicate that the system is undercharged. Verify adjusted
charge using the approach method.
4. Use the same digital thermometer to check liquid line
temperature.
5. Subtract the outdoor ambient temperature from the liquid
line temperture to determine the approach temperature.

Check Charge Using Normal Operating Pressures
Use Table 7 to perform maintenance checks. Table 7 is not
a procedure for charging the system. Minor variations in
these pressures may be due to differences in installations.
Significant deviations could mean that the system is not

Emergency heat is usually used during an outdoor shutdown,
but it should also be used following a power outage if power
has been off for over an hour and the outdoor temperature
is below 50°F. System should be left in the emergency heat
mode at least 6 hours to allow the crankcase heater sufficient
time to prevent compressor slugging.
OPERATION
Outdoor unit and indoor blower cycle on demand from the
room thermostat. When the thermostat blower switch is
moved to the ON position, the indoor blower operates
continuously.
Defrost System
The defrost system includes two components: the defrost
thermostat and the defrost control.
Filter Drier
The unit is equipped with a large capacity bi-flow filter which
keeps the system clean and dry. If replacement is necessary,
replace with one of similar design and capacity. The
replacement filter drier must be suitable for use with R410A
refrigerant.
Defrost Thermostat
The defrost thermostat is located on the liquid line between
the check/expansion valve and the distributor. When the
defrost thermostat senses 42°F or cooler, the thermostat
contacts close and send a signal to the defrost control board
to start the defrost timing. It also terminates defrost when
the liquid line warms up to 70°F.
Crankcase Heater
If unit is equipped with a crankcase heater, it should be
energized 24 hours before unit start-up to prevent
compressor damage as a result of slugging.
Defrost Control
The defrost control board includes the combined functions
of time/temperature defrost control, defrost relay, diagnostic
LEDS and terminal strip for field wiring connections (See
Figure 14).
Emergency Heat Function (Room Thermostat)
An emergency heat function is designed into some room
thermostats. This feature is applicable when isolation of
outdoor unit is required or when auxiliary electric heat is
stage by outdoor thermostats. When the room thermostat
is placed in the emergency heat position, the outdoor unit
control circuit is isolated from power and the field-supplied
relays bypass the outdoor thermostats. An amber indicating
light simultaneously comes on to remind the homeowner
that the unit is operating in the emergency heat mode.
The control provides automatic switching from normal
heating operation to defrost mode and back. During the
compressor cycle (call for defrost), the control accumulates
compressor run time at 30, 60, 90 minute field adjustable
intervals. If the defrost thermostat is closed when the
selected compressor run time interval ends, the defrost relay
is energized and the defrost begins.

Defrost Control Timing Pins
Each timing pin selection provides a different accumulated
compressor run time period during one thermostat run cycle.
This time period must occur before a defrost cycle is initiated.
The defrost interval can be adjusted to 30 (T1), 60 (T2), or
90 (T3) minutes. The defrost timing jumper is factory
installed to provide a 60 minute defrost interval. If the timing
selector jumper is not in place, the control defaults to a 90
minute defrost interval. The maximum defrost period is 14
minutes and cannot be adjusted.
A test option is provided for troubleshooting. The test mode
may be started any time the unit is in the heating mode and
the defrost thermostat is closed or jumpered. If the jumper
is in the TEST position at power up, the control will ignore
the test pins. When the jumper is placed across the TEST
pins for 2 seconds, the control will enter the defrost mode.
If the jumper is removed before an additional 5 second period
has elapsed (7 seconds total), the unit will remain in defrost
mode until the defrost thermostat opens or 14 minutes have
passed. If the jumper is not removed until after the additional
5 second period has elapsed, the defrost will terminate and
the test option will not function again until the jumper is
removed and reapplied.
locked out until power to the board is interrupted, then reestablished, or until the jumper is applied to the TEST pins
for 0.5 seconds.
NOTE: The defrost control board ignores input from the
low pressure switch terminals as follows:
•
•
•
•
During the TEST mode
During the defrost cycle
During the 90 seconds start-up period
For the first 90 seconds each time the reversing
valve switches heat/cool modes
If the TEST pins are jumpered and the 5 minute delay is
being bypassed, the LO-PS terminal signal is not
ignored during the 90-second start-up period.
Diagnostic LEDs
The defrost board uses two LEDs for diagnostics. The LEDs
flash a specific sequence according to the condition as
shown in Table 9.
Compressor Delay
The defrost board has a field-selectable function to reduce
occasional sounds that may occur while the unit is cycling in
and out of the defrost mode. The compressor will be cycled
off for 30 seconds going in and out of the defrost mode when
the compressor delay jumper is removed.
Defrost Control Board
Diagnostic LEDs
NOTE: The 30-second “off” cycle is not functional when
jumpering the TEST pins.
Time Delay
The timed-off delay is 5 minutes long. The delay helps to
protect the compressor from short cycling in case the power
to the unit is interrupted or a pressure switch opens. The
delay is bypassed by placing the timer select jumper across
the TEST pins for 0.5 seconds.
Pressure Switch Circuit
The defrost control includes two pressure switch circuits. A
high pressure switch is connected to the board’s HI-PS
terminals(See Figure 14). The low pressure, or loss-ofcharge pressure, switch is connected to the LPS terminals.
Table 9
During a single demand cycle, the defrost control will lock
out the unit after the fifth time that the circuit is interrupted
by an pressure switch wired to the control board. In addition,
the diagnostic LEDs will indicate a locked-out pressure switch
after the fifth occurrence of an open pressure switch (See
Table 9). The unit will remain
506470-01

System Diagnostic Module
4HP18LT units contain a diagnostic module for
troubleshouting heat pump system failures. By monitoring
and analyzing data from the compressor and thermostat
demand, the module can accurately detect the cause of
electrical and system related failure without any sensors.
If a system problem occurs, a flashing LED indicator
communicates the failure code.
LED Description
POWER LED (Green) indicates voltage is present at the
power connection of the module.
ALERT LED (Yellow) communicates an abnormal system
condition through a unique flash code. The ALERT LED
will flash a number of times consecutively, pause, and then
repeat the process. The number of consecutive flashes
correlates to a paticular abnormal condition.
TRIP LED (Red) indicates there is a demand signal from
the thermostat but no current to the compressor is detected
by the module. The TRIP LED typically indicates the
compressor protector is open or may indicate missing
supply power to the compressor.
Interpreting the Diagnostic LEDs
When an abnormal system condition occurs, the diagnostic
nodule displays the appropriate ALERT and/or TRIP LED.
The yellow ALERT LED will flash a number of times
consecutively, pause, and then repeat the process. To
identify a slash code number, count the number of
consecutive flashes. Refer to Table 10 below and Table 11
on page 20 for information on the flash codes.
Flash Codes
Table 10
506470-01
Issue 1007
Page 20
Every time the module powers up, the last ALERT LED flash
code that occurred prior to shutdown is displayed for
60 seconds. The module will continue to display the previous
flash code until the condition returns to normal or 21VAC is
removed from the module. TRIP and ALERT LEDs flashing
at the same time means control circuit voltage is too low for
operation.
24VAC Power Wiring
The diagnostic module requires a constant nominal 24VAC
power supply. The wiring to the module’s R and C terminals
must be directly from the indoor unit or thermostat. The
module cannot be powered by R and C terminals on the
defrost board without experiencing nuisance alerts.
Flash Codes (cont.)
Table 11
506470-01
Issue 1007
Page 21
Thermostat Demand Wiring
The diagnostic module requires a thermostat demand signal
to operate properly. The thermostat demand signal input,
labeled Y on the module, should always be connected to
the compressor contactor coil so that when the coil is
energized, the demand signal input is 24VAC. When the
coil is not energized, the demand signal input should be less
than 0.5VAC.
Miswired Module Codes
Depending on the system configuration, some ALERT flash
codes may not be active. The presence of safety switches
affects how the system alerts are displayed by the module.
Miswiring the diagnostic nodule will cause false LED codes.
Table 12 Describes LED operation when the module is
miswired and what troubleshooting action is required to
correct the problem.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Before performing maintenance operations on system,
turn the electric power to unit OFF at disconnect
switch(es). Unit may have multiple power supplies.
Electrical shock could cause personal injury or death.
Before the start of each heating and cooling season, the
following service checks should be performed by a qualified
service technician.
Inspect and clean outdoor and indoor coils. The outdoor
coil may be flushed with a water hose.
NOTE: It may be necessary to flush the outdoor coil more
frequently if it is exposed to substances which are corrosive
or which block air flow across the coil (such as pet urine,
cottonwood seeds, etc...).
Visually inspect the refrigerant lines and coils for leakes.
Check wiring for loose connections.
Check voltage at the indoor and outdoor units (with units
operating).
Check amperage draw at the outdoor fan motor, compressor,
and indoor blower motor. Values should be compared with
those given on unit nameplate.
Check, clean (or replace) indoor unit filters.
Check the refrigerant charge and gauge the system
pressures.
Check the condensate drain line for free and unobstructed
flow. Clean drain line, if necessary.
Adjust blower speed for cooling. Measure the pressure drop
over the coil to determine the correct blower CFM.
Belt drive blowers: Check drive belt for wear and proper
tensions.
If insufficient cooling is reported, the unit should be gauged
and refrigerant charge checked (see Refrigerant Charging
on page 13).

HOMEOWNER INFORMATION
In order to ensure peak performance, your system must be
properly maintained. Clogged filters and blocked airflow
prevent your unit from operating at its most efficient level.
more frequently if it is exposed to substances which are
corrosive or which block airflow across the coil (such as pet
urine, cottonwood seeds, etc...).
Heat Pump Operation
Heat pump units have several characteristics you should be
aware of:
WARNING
Heat pumps satisfy heating demand by delivering large
amounts of warm air into the living space. This is quite
different from gas-fired, oil-fired, or electric furnaces which
deliver lower volumes of considerably hotter air to heat the
space.
Turn all electric power to unit OFF at disconnect
switch(es) before performing any maintenance
operations on system. Unit may have multiple power
supplies. Electrical shock could cause personal injury
or death.
Ask your dealer to show you where the indoor unit’s filter is
located. It will be either at the indoor unit (installed internal
or external to the cabinet) or behind a return air grille in the
wall or ceiling in your home. Check the filter monthly and
clean or replace it as needed.
Disposable filters should be replaced with a filter of the same
type and size. If you are unsure of the filter you need for
your system, contact your dealer.
Many indoor units are equipped with reusable foam filters.
These filters can be cleaned with a mild soap and water
solution. Rinse the filter thoroughly and let dry completely
before returning to unit or grille.
The filter and all access panels must be in place any
time the unit is in operation.
Some systems are equipped with an electronic air cleaner,
designed to remove the majority of airborne particles from
the air passing through the cleaner. If your system includes
an electronic air cleaner, ask your dealer for maintenance
instructions.
Inspect and clean indoor coil. The indoor evaporator coil is
equipped with a drain pan to collect condensate formed as
the system removes humidity from the inside air. Have your
dealer show you the location of the drain line and how to
check for obstructions. This also applies to an auxiliary drain,
if one is installed.
Inspect and clean outdoor coil:
Make sure no obstructions restrict airflow to the outdoor unit.
Leaves, trash, or shrubs crowding the unit can cause it to
work harder and use more energy. Keep shrubbery trimmed
away from the unit and periodically check for debris which
collects around the unit.
The outdoor coil may require frequent cleaning, depending
on environmental conditions. Clean the outdoor coil with an
unpressurized water hose to remove surface contaminants
and debris. It may be necessary to flush the outdoor coil
506470-01
Do not be alarmed if you notice frost on the outdoor coil in
the winter months. Frost develops on the outdoor coil during
the heating cycle when temperatures are below 45°F. An
electronic control activates a defrost cycle lasting 5 to 15
minutes at preset intervals to clear the outdoor coil of the
frost. A shift in sound type does occur during the defrost
mode.
During the defrost cycle, you may notice steam rising from
the unit. This is a normal occurrence. The thermostat may
engage auxiliary heat during the defrost cycle to satisfy a
heating demand. The unit will return to normal operation at
the conclusion of the defrost cycle.
In case of extended power outage....
If the outdoor temperature is below 50°F and power to the
outdoor unit has been interrupted for 6 hours or longer.
observe the following when restoring power to the heat pump
system.
Set the room thermostat selctor to the “Emergency Heat”
setting to obtain temporary heat for a minimum of 6 hours.
This will allow system refrigerant pressures and
temperatures enough time to return to a stabilized condition.
In the “Emergency Heat” mode, all heating demand is
satisfied by auxiliary heat; heat pump operation is locked
out. After a 6 hour “warmup” period, the thermostat can
then be switched to the “Heat” setting and normal heat
operation may resume.
Thermostat Operation
Though your thermostat may vary somewhat from the
description below, its operation will be similar.
Temperature Setting Levers
Most heat pump thermostats have two temperature selector
levers: one for heating and one for cooling. Set the levers
or dials to the desired temperature setpoints for both heating
and cooling. Avoid frequent temperature adjustment; turning
the unit off and back on before presssures equalize puts
stress on unit compressor.
Issue 1007
Page 24
Fan Switch
In AUTO or INT (intermittent) mode, the blower operates
only when the thermostat calls for heating or cooling. This
mode is generally preferred when humidity control is a priority.
The ON or CONT mode provides continuous indoor blower
operation, regardless of whether the compressor or auxiliary
heat are operating. This mode is required when constant
air circulation or filtering is desired.
Preservice Check
If your system fails to operate, check the following before
calling for service:
System Switch
Set the system switch for heating, cooling, or auto operation.
The auto mode allows the heat pump to automatically switch
from heating mode to cooling mode to maintain
predetermined comfort settings. Many heat pump
thermostats are also equipped with an emergency heat mode
which locks out heat pump operation and provides temporary
heat supplied by the auxiliary heat.
Make sure the thermostat system switch is properly set.
Check to see that all electrical disconnect switches ar ON.
Make sure the thermostat temperature selector is properly
set.
Replace any blown fuses, or reset circuit breakers.
Make sure unit access panels are in place.
Make sure air filter is clean.
Locate unit model number and have it handy before calling.
Indicating Light
Most heat pump thermostats have an amber light which
indicates when the heat pump is operating in the emergency
heat mode.
Temperature Indicator
The temperture indicator displays the actual room
temperature.
Programmable Thermostats
Your system may be controlled by a programmable
thermostat. These thermostats provide the added feature
of programmable time-of-day set points for both heating and
cooling. Refer to the user’s information manual provided
with your particular thermostat for operation details.
