Airflow Setup for Infinity Touch or FE Fan Coil (communicating) Control No refrigeration circuit accessories are required or are available for installation within the unit. External to the unit, the same accessories such as support feet, snow rack, wind baffle etc., available on other Carrier units, can also be used on this line of product. For models utilizing 23 inch x 23 inch base pans, it is recommended to use 5 support feet in order to fully support unit. See Fig. 9. Refer to the individual Installation Instructions packaged with kits or accessories when installing. Furnace This system can only be installed with Infinity-capable indoor and Infinity Touch User Interface (UI) SYSTXCCUITN01 or SYSTXCCUITW01 with version 11 software or newer. When using an Infinity Touch User Interface, airflow is automatically selected based on equipment size. The user has the option of selecting Comfort, Efficiency and Max airflow for Heating and/or Cooling modes. These should be selected based on balance between the homeowner's comfort and energy consumption expectations. See User Interface Installation Instructions for additional available adjustments. Due to using a communicating control with the fan coil or the furnace, dip switch adjustments are not necessary. The outdoor unit configuration and the indoor airflows are determined by communicating control setup. Airflow Setup for Non-communicating For replacement applications with older FV4(A,B), FK4 and 40FK fan coils, the model plug in the outdoor unit must be changed per Table 2 below. The model plug adjusts compressor speed to match available low stage indoor airflow.

Furnaces For installations with non-communicating furnaces, set airflows to 350-400 cfm/nominal ton in high stage and 70-80 percent of high stage airflow in low stage. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD Failure to follow this caution may result in environmental damage. Federal regulations require that you do not vent refrigerant to the atmosphere. Recover during system repair or final unit disposal. Follow these steps to properly start up the system: 1. After system is evacuated, close the disconnects to energize the ID and OD units to access the user interface (UI), Keep system in off mode. Under the Advanced function menu, on the Infinity Touch Control, access the REQUIRED CHARGE CALCULATION screen. Enter the lineset length and vapor tube diameter. The user interface (UI) will now display the required charge adjustment (see Fig. 10 for example) for the lineset and an adjustment for a large indoor coil if recognized as such by the UI. 2. Add or remove the required charge length to liquid service valve. Note: moval If lineset is less than may be necessary. 3. Fully open liquid and vapor adjustment 15 feet (-9.4°C), for lineset charge re- service valves. Step 11 -Operation System The 25VNA8 models Functions utilize and Sequence either Infinity User Interface (UI) or conventional controls, a call for cooling will Touch of Communicating HP thermostat. When energize the outdoor using UI fan and compressor to run at lowest cooling demand. If this does not satisfy cooling demand, the system will ramp up in stages until it satisfies the demand. After coping with the higher demand, the unit returns to lower capacity operation until the demand is satisfied or until an increase in demand. When using a conventional thermostat, the thermostat controls the staging of outdoor unit. When all demand is satisfied, the compressor will shut off. As the unit operates at lower capacity, system vapor (suction) pressure will be higher than it is during a standard single-stage system operation or during a higher capacity operation. The user interface (UI) displays the operation mode and fault codes as specified in the troubleshooting section. See Table 7 for codes and definitions. The conventional thermostat inputs are designed to work with most indoor units. See AHRI for approved combinations. Connections are Y/Y2, YI, O, R, W, and C. Depending on thermostat and indoor unit, the system will operate at 1 or 2 capacities in heating or cooling mode. NOTE: Only one code will be displayed on the outdoor control board (the most recent, with the highest priority). latest codes are stored and can be accessed via the UI. A14019 Fig. 10 - Required Charge Adjustment Calculated in UI 4. Set User Interface to operate cooling in CHARGING mode. Charging mode operates system compressor speed and fan speeds to proper conditions to check the refrigerant charge. NOTE: See Step 13 for charging 5. Wait for the specified check. stabilization time, depending on line- set length. Compare subcooling at liquid line service valve to Liquid Line Subcooling Target as shown CHARGING screen (LiqLin SC TGT) (see Fig. 11 for example). unit The Upon a call for cooling through the UI (or the YI and/or Y2 connections in a non-communicating system), the Application Operation Control (AOC) board (see Fig. 19) will open the EXV to the fully open position. For heating, the AOC board will open the EXV to a preset position, depending upon the conditions. Based upon the indoor space demand and the outdoor conditions, the UI will then request a compressor speed and outdoor fan motor speed. If the conditions are correct for operation, the control board will allow the requested operation to begin, but if the control board determines that the conditions are not correct, the board will decide what other operation nearing that condition is acceptable. The inverter Motor Operational Control (MOC) then outputs the three-phase PWM signal and frequency that gently ramps the compressor speed up to stage 2, and then will adjust to the demanded speed. The gentle ramp-up results in no locked rotor amps to the compressor motor. The unit 0 for compressor LRA will be stamped N/A (not applicable). During operation, the AOC monitors itself and the compressor operation along with the system pressures and temperatures. The MOC board monitors the temperature, current and operational status of the compressor, OD fan and the inverter itself. During operation, the compressor speed will be adjusted to meet the changes to the demand. A14020 Fig. 11 - Liquid Line Subcooling Target When the demand is satisfied, the inverter will ramp-down the compressor speed and stop. The EXV will step down to the completely closed position. When the compressor stops, a 35 nfinute Time Guard period is activated which is followed by opening of the PEV valve for 150 seconds to equalize the refrigerant pressure difference between the high and low sides of the compressor. Upon equalizing the refrigerant pressure, and an additional 15 seconds of the Time Guard period, the compressor will be ready for the next operational demand. If there is a power cycle, the Pressure Equalizer Valve (PEV) will open for 150 seconds before the compressor start-up. Opening the PEV valve returns the discharge gas directly back to the suction side of the compressor. This is done in either cooling or heating mode so that the rotary compressor will start with a very low pressure differential. The 3.5 nfinute Time Guard can be bypassed by shorting the Forced Defrost pins. Only the 3.5 nfinute can be bypassed. Because it is important for compressor the 150-second PEV delay cannot be bypassed. momentarily time delay reliability, A14021 Fig.12Crankcase AOC Operation Heater Control Board Communication This unit has an internal crankcase heater that will be energized during the off cycle and is intelligently demanded by the system to Infinity prevent the compressor from thus enhancing the reliability.

(communicating only) Factory charge amount and desired subcooling are shown in the user interface (UI). To properly check or adjust charge, conditions must be favorable for subcooling charging in cooling mode. Favorable conditions exist when the outdoor temperature is between 65°F and 100°F (18°C and 38°C), and the indoor temperature is between 70°F and 80°F (21°C and 27°C). If the temperatures are outside of these ranges, weigh-in charge only. If charge confirmation is needed return to check subcooling in cooling mode when between 65°F (18.3°C) and 100°F (37.8°C) or use heating check chart in heating mode below 65°F (18.3°C). Charging Procedure: Unit is factory charged for 15ft (4.57 m) of lineset. If any refrigerant charge adjustment is required due to the user inputted line set length, the UI will calculate and display the target subcooling and the amount of additional charge to be added. Therefore, the UI is your source of information for charging the system correctly. Refrigerant charge adjustment amount for adding or removing 0.6 oz/ft (17.74 g/m) of 3/8 liquid line above or below 15ft (4.57 m) respectively. Perform a final charge check only when in cooling and OD is between 65°F (18°C) and 100°F (38°C). NOTE: UI indicates acceptable conditions if outside of this range. Do not charge if outside 65°F (18°C) and 100°F (38°C) outdoor temperature. If the range is acceptable, go the CHARGING screen in the user interface (UI). At cooling conditions, set the user interface (UI) to check the charge in cooling mode. Allow system to operate in cooling mode for the stabilization period as indicated in the user interface (UI). Once conditions are indicated as favorable and stable by the user interface (UI), check the system charge by subcooling method. Compare the subcooling taken at the liquid service valve to the subcooling target (LiqLin SC TGT) listed on the charging screen. Add refrigerant if the subcooling is low and remove charge if subcooling (no greater 25 minutes is high. Tolerance should is necessary, add or remove the charge slowly than 0.5 lb per minute) and allow system to operate for to stabilize before declaring a properly charged system. The use of a commercial charge metering device (restrictor) such as Imperial liquid low side charger model 535-C or Watsco ChargeFaster model CH200 is recommended when adding refrigerant to an operating system. This prevents potential damage of liquid slugging of the compressor and allows the subcooling to stabilize quicker. If the indoor temperature is above 80°F (26.67°C), and the outdoor temperature is in the favorable range, adjust system charge by weight based on line length and allow the indoor temperature to drop to 80°F by subcooling (26.67°C) before attempting method as described above. to check system charge If the indoor temperature is below 70°F (21.11°C), or the outdoor temperature is not in the favorable range, adjust charge for line set length above or below 15ft (4.57 m) and indoor fan coil / furnace coil per Table 3. Charge level should then be appropriate for the system to achieve rated capacity. The charge level could then be checked at another time when the both indoor and outdoor temperatures maximum Check Charge in CHARGING If any adjustment are efficiency in a more favorable range. This ensures and reliability. Charging Non-Communicating Systems Charging Procedure: Force system to operate in high stage cooling by creating a large differential between room temperature and set point on thermostat. Use multi-meter to verify that 24 VAC is present between C, YI/Y2 terminals at outdoor unit. Factory charge amount is shown on unit rating plate for high stage. Target subcooling chart is provided on back of control box door see Fig. 13 - 15 for example. To properly check or adjust charge, condition must be favorable for subcooling charging. Favorable conditions exists when outdoor temperature is between 65°F (18°C) and 100°F (38°C), and the indoor temperature is between 70°F (21°C) and 80°F (27°C). Follow the procedure below: Unit is factory charged for 15ft (4.57 m) of lineset. Adjust charge by adding or removing 0.6 oz/ft (17.7 g/m) of 3/8 liquid line above or below 15ft (4.57 m) respectively. For standard refrigerant line lengths (80ft/24.4 m or less), allow system to operate in cooling mode at least 25 minutes. If conditions are favorable, check system charge by subcooling method. If any adjustment is necessary, adjust charge slowly and allow system to operate for 25 minutes to stabilize before declaring a properly charged system. If the indoor temperature is below 70°F (21.11 °C), or the outdoor temperature is not in the favorable range, adjust charge for line set length above or below 15ft (4.57 m) and indoor fan coil/furnace coil per Table 4. Charge level should then be appropriate for the system to achieve rated capacity. The charge level should then be checked at another time when the both indoor and outdoor temperatures are in a more favorable range.

This charge must be manually recovered. A recovery system will be required to remove final quantity of refrigerant from indoor coil and line set. in environmental Federal regulations require that you do not vent refrigerant to the atmosphere. Recover during system repair or final unit disposal. If this system requires either a Pump Down or Evacuation for any reason, the procedures below must be followed: Pump Down - Infinity Communicating Because this system is inverter controlled, compressor, suction pressure transducer and EXV, conventional procedure cannot be used to "pump down" and isolate the refrigerant into the outdoor unit. The UI (User Interface) has provisions to assist in performing this function. Evacuation and recovery of refrigerant from 25VNA8 Because this system has an EXV for the heating expansion device, additional steps may be taken to open the EXV for fastest refrigerant recovery and evacuation. If the EXV is not open when pulling a vacuum or recovering refrigerant from the heat pump unit, extended evacuation time may be required and/or inadequate vacuum obtained. The UI (User Interface) has provisions to open the EXV for refrigerant recovery and/or evacuation. 1. Connect gauges to 25VNA8 liquid and vapor service valve ports to monitor operating pressures during and at completion of the procedure. Attach recovery system or vacuum pump to gauge set as needed for the service procedure. The service valves must be open to evacuate the unit through the line set service ports. The suction capillary service port is a direct connection to the suction port of the compressor and may also be used. 2. In the advanced menu of the UI, go to Checkout > Heat Pump > Evacuation. 3. Set desired time period. Default time period for the procedure is 120 minutes. 1. Connect gauges to 25VNA8 liquid and vapor service valve ports to monitor operating pressures during and at completion of the procedure. 2. In the advanced menu of the UI, go to Checkout > Heat Pump> Pumpdown 3. Select mode to pump down in (COOL or HEAT), COOL mode allows refrigerant to be isolated in outdoor unit. HEAT mode allows the refrigerant to be isolated in indoor coil and lineset. Set desired time period. Default time period for the procedure is 120 minutes. 4. Select Start on UI to begin the pump-down process. []nit will begin running in selected mode after a brief delay. 5. Close the liquid service valve. 6. The unit will run in selected mode with the low pressure protection set to indicate pump-down is complete when the suction pressure drops below 10 psig. Compressor protections are still active to prevent damage to the compressor or inverter (high pressure, high current, high torque, etc.). 7. Once system indicates pump-down complete or failure to complete shutdown, close vapor service valve. 8. A small quantity of charge will remain in isolated section of system dependent on ambient temperature and overall system charge. This charge must be manually recovered. A recovery system will be required to remove final quantity of refrigerant from indoor coil and line set. 9. Remove power from indoor and heat pump unit prior to servicing unit. 4. Select START on UI to open the valve. 5. Begin evacuation or refrigerant recovery as required for the procedure after UI indicates the EXV is open. Power may be removed from heat pump after the UI indicates "READY TO EVACUATE." 6. Remove power from indoor and heat pump unit prior to servicing unit. The EXV will retain the open position. NOTE: See service training materials for troubleshooting the EXV using EXV CHECK mode. Evacuation and recovery of refrigerant from 25VNA8 when using non-communicating thermostat Refrigerant recovery and evacuation can be performed without a UI (User Interface) but will take more time. If EXV is not forced open the recovery and evacuation must rely on check valve as a bypass. 1. Connect gauges to 25VNA8 liquid and vapor service valve ports to monitor operating pressures during and at completion of the procedure. Attach recovery system or vacuum pump to gauge set as needed for the service procedure. The service valves must be open to evacuate the unit through the line set service ports. The suction capillary service port is a direct connection to the suction port of the compressor and may also be used. 2. Begin evacuation or refrigerant. Allow extra time for refrigerant recovery and establishing a thorough evacuation. Pump Down - Using 2-stage HP Thermostat (Non- Communicating) Because this system has an inverter controlled compressor, suction pressure transducer and EXV, conventional procedure cannot be used to "pump down" and isolate the refrigerant into the outdoor unit. 1. Connect gauges to 25VNA8 liquid and vapor service valve ports to monitor operating pressures during and at completion of the procedure. 2. Force system to operate in high stage by creating a large differential between room temperature and set point on thermostat. Use multi-meter to verify that 24 VAC is present between C and YI and Y2 terminals at outdoor unit. 3. Close the liquid service valve. 14 MAJOR COMPONENTS Variable Speed Compressor This unit contains a variable speed rotary compressor that has a wide operating range. It operates on a variable 3 phase sine wave provided by the inverter. This compressor can only be operated by Variable speed Control Board the specific inverter EQUIPMENT supplied with the unit. DAMAGE Failure to follow this caution and/or improper HAZARD Do not attempt to apply compressor. This will destroy Electronic may result in equipment damage operation. Expansion line voltage directly the compressor. to the Valve (EXV) This unit uses an electronic expansion valve for refrigerant metering in the heating mode. The control board drives the EXV to its proper position based on the operating mode and conditions. The Infinity Touch Control Service mode allows for manual opening and closing of the EXV for troubleshooting and pump down. Field A13361 Fig. 19 - AOC (Application Operational Control) Board control For communicating operation use the communication Infinity plug only. Only two wires, AB (color), are required. If necessary, connect C for additional grounding (see Fig. 7). If using standard 2-stage HP thermostat, connect discrete inputs (R,C,Y2,Y1,O,W) for 2-stage control in heating and cooling modes. Pressure The AOC board is located tray. It's functions include: in the lower right hand side of inverter • Compressor speed control • Outdoor fan motor control • Reversing • Defrost valve operation operation • Crankcase • Pressure heater operation switch monitoring • Time Delays • Pressure Transducer • PEV control • Temperature valve) control Inverter The inverter is located inside the control box. This is an air-cooled device that communicates with the control board and drives the compressor and fan motor to the demanded RPM. The inverter is always powered with line voltage since no contactor is used.

The function of this valve is to prevent the compressor from starting with a high refrigerant pressure differential, thus helping the reliability of the compressor. NOTE: A hissing sound may be heard during the equalization process. This is normal. inverter changes the line voltage to DC volts and then recreates 3 phase sine waves that vary in frequency to drive the compressor and fan motor at the desired RPM. NOTE: (SPT) At the end of every compressor operation (after the 3.5 minute Time Guard period), the equalizer valve opens for 150 seconds plus an additional 15 seconds of protection before allowing the compressor to start ramping up. measurements • EXV (Electronic Expansion Valve) operation • Inverter communication and control Transducer A .5 VDC output low pressure transducer that provides a 0-.5 VDC data for interpretation by the control board for a 0 to 200 psig range of pressure at the suction tube.

TROUBLESHOOTING Systems Communication Failure If communication is lost with the User Interface (UI), the control will flash the appropriate fault code (see Table 7). Check the wiring to the User Interface and the indoor and outdoor units and power. Model Plu_ Each control board contains a model plug. The correct model plug must be installed for the system to operate properly (see Table 4). The model plug is used to identify the type and size of unit to the control. On new units, the model and serial numbers are inputted into the AOC board s memory at the factory. If a model plug is lost or nfissing at initial installation, the unit will operate according to the information input at the factory and the appropriate error code will flash temporarily. An RCD replacement AOC board contains no model and serial information. If the factory control board fails, the model plug must be transferred from the original board to the replacement board for the unit to operate. When the service tool is connected and powered up, the communicating controls inside the home will "go to sleep" and let the service tool take control of the system. In this manner, the service technician can run the diagnostic checkouts right at the outdoor unit using the service tool. After the checkouts are completed and it is no longer necessary to use the service tool, remove it from the communicating controls and the indoor communicating controls will regain control in about two nfinutes. Pressure 1. Display the appropriate fault code (see Table 7). 2. After a 15 nfinute delay, if there is a call for cooling or heating and HPS is reset, the PEV opens for 150 seconds to equalize system pressures. The compressor and fan will then ramp to the next lower stage of operation until demand is satisfied. In the next call for heating/cooling system will resume normal operation. 3. If the opened switch closes at any time after the 15 nfinute delay, then the PEV opens for 150 seconds to equalize system pressures. The compressor and fan will then ramp to the next lower stage of operation until demand is satisfied. In the next call for heating/cooling system will resume normal operation.

If the control senses the opening of a high pressure switch (open 600+/-5 psig, close 470+/-10 psig @77°F), it will respond as follows: When installing heat pump with older fan coils, a model plug change may be required. See table 2 for fan coils requiring model plug change. NOTE: The model plug takes priority over factory model information input at the factory. If the model plug is removed after initial power up, the unit will operate according to the last valid model plug installed, and flash the appropriate fault code temporarily. MODEL NUMBER Switch cycles, the unit operation is 5. In the event of a high-pressure switch trip or high-pressure lockout, check the refrigerant charge, outdoor fan operation, and outdoor coil (in cooling) for airflow restrictions, or indoor airflow in heating. 11K 6. In the event of a low-pressure trip or low-pressure lockout, check the refrigerant charge and indoor airflow (cooling) and outdoor fan operation and outdoor coil in heating. Control Fault Tool If the outdoor unit control board has failed, the control will flash the appropriate fault code (see Table 7). The control board should be replaced. Brown- Out Protection Connect to to 24vac 120VAC (05A rain ) adapter A14178 Fig. 20 - Service Tool Connection When working on the outdoor unit of a split system, the technician would usually need to repeatedly walk between the indoor wall control and the unit outside. To save time, the communicating controls offer a service tool feature. By wiring the service tool into the AOC board and powering it with an external adapter, the technician can have a wall control capable of running the system right at the outdoor unit. To use a service tool, connect the A and B communication bus wires from this second communicating control to the ternfinals marked A and B on the ternfinal strip located in the bottom left corner of the AOC board (see Fig. 20). But instead of connecting the wires on the service tool to the ternfinals marked C and D, If the line voltage is less than 187V for at least 4 seconds, the Compressor and OD fan goes to 0 rpm. Compressor and fan operation are not allowed until voltage is a nfinimum of 190V. The control will flash the appropriate fault code (see Table 7). 230V Line (Power Disconnect) Detection The control board senses the presence of absence of 230V through inverter feedback. Voltage should present at all times when system is in service regardless if system is running or standby. If there is no 230V at the inverter when the indoor unit is powered with a cooling or heating demand, the appropriate fault code is displayed on UI (communicating only - see Table 7). If system is configured with conventional heat pump thermostat (non-communicating), no fault code will be displayed on AOC board, nor will any status LEDs be lit. Use multimeter to check for the presence of 230V in this situation. Temperature Thermistors Thermistors are electronic devices which sense temperature. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases. 10Kohm thermistors are used to sense outdoor air temperature (OAT), coil temperature (OCT) and the suction line temperature (OST) located between the reversing valve and the accumulator. A 50Kohm thermistor is used to sense discharge temperature (ODT). 16 Refer to Table 5 and Fig. 21 and 22 for resistance values versus temperature.
