Installation Information
UNIT DESCRIPTION
The RH-Series unit is a high efficiency two-stage geothermal heat pump with environmentally friendly R410a refrigerant.
Two-stage units offer a significant efficiency increase over single stage units when operating in the reduced capacity mode
(stage 1).
The RH-Series has a compact horizontal case design with corner mounts allowing it to be suspended from the ceiling if desired. The fan is mounted to an access panel and can easily be switched from straight through to end discharge configuration.
An electrically commutated (ECM) fan with several speed options is standard. The motor has a soft start function for improved efficiency and reduced wear.
The unit has several key features that are described in the specifications document for the particular heat pump. Please request a copy if desired or visit www.nordicghp.com
UNPACKING THE UNIT
When the heat pump reaches its destination it should be unpacked to determine if any damage has occurred during shipment. Any visible damage should be noted on the carrier's freight bill and a suitable claim filed at once.
The heat pump is well constructed and every effort has been made to ensure that it will arrive intact, however it is in the customer's best interest to examine the unit thoroughly when it arrives.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The heat pump has a concentric 1.093” / 0.875” knockout for power supply connection to the electrical box, as well as one for connection to the circulator pump module for ground loop applications. There are two 1/2” openings with plastic grommets (grommet hole is 3/8”) in the upper section of the electrical box, one for the thermostat connections, and one for the optional plenum heater connections.
A schematic diagram and electrical box layout diagram
(ELB) can be found inside the electrical box cover of the unit as well as in the Model Specific section of this manual. The Electrical Tables in the Model Specific section and the ELB diagram contain information about the size of wire for the connections, as well as the recommended breaker size. A properly qualified electrician should be retained to make the connections to the heat pump and associated controls. The connections to the heat pump MUST CONFORM TO LOCAL CODES.
CIRCULATOR PUMP MODULE WIRING
(GROUND LOOP ONLY)
The heat pump has provisions for connecting the circulator pump module so that the pumps will be turned on whenever the compressor operates. Connect the circulator pump module to the appropriate two terminals of the terminal strip marked
OUTDOOR CIRCULATORS in the heat pump, as per the voltage of the circulator pump module. Ensure that the total current draw does not exceed the value indicated on the label in the heat pump electrical box. Refer to the electrical box drawing on the electrical box cover for more information.
THERMOSTAT REQUIREMENTS
The RH-Series unit requires a three-stage heating and two stage cooling thermostat for proper operation. The stages are
S1 = Stage 1 compressor, S2 = Stage 2 compressor and S3 = electric auxiliary (heating only). One can be purchased with the unit, or other thermostats with the same number of stages can be used. The electrical box diagram on the electrical box cover provides a description of the signal connections as in TABLE 1 .
OPTIMUM PLACEMENT
For liquid to air units, to achieve the greatest efficiency, the heat pump should be centrally located in the home with respect to the conditioned space. This design provides the utmost in economy and comfort and usually can be accomplished in harmony with the design of the home. A heating system cannot be expected to produce an even warmth throughout the household when it is located at one end of the structure and the warm air is transmitted with uninsulated metal ductwork.
If possible the access panels should remain clear of obstruction for a distance of two feet to facilitate servicing and general maintenance. DO NOT STACK UNITS ON TOP OF
EACH OTHER. The cases are not designed to hold the weight of another unit. Stacking should only be done with a proper rack system able to hold a minimum of 2x the weight of the unit.
Raising the heat pump off the floor a few inches is generally a good practice and also helps prevent rusting of the bottom panel of the unit. We recommend that the heat pump be placed on a piece of 2'' thick styrofoam. The styrofoam will smooth out any irregularities in the cement floor and deaden any compressor noise emitted from the bottom of the cabinet.
If the unit is to be suspended ensure that the mounting system can hold at least 2 times the weight of the unit for safety reasons.
NORDIC® heat pumps have an air-filter rack which can be installed with the removable end (where the filter is inserted) on either side to facilitate changing the filter.

FAN MOTOR
The unit is equipped with a direct drive ECM fan motor for maximum efficiency. The motor features a soft start which further improves efficiency by eliminating inrush current and provides a smooth, quiet ramp up to speed . The motor will maintain the programmed air flow up to the maximum external static value. Refer to the APPENDIX B: ECM Fan Airflow Tables.
The air flow can be set to four different levels by changing the position on the Air Flow board located in the electrical box.
The four levels are indicated in TABLE 2 . The actual air flow values can be found in APPENDIX B .

SAFETY CONTROLS
The heat pump has two built in safety controls which are designed to protect the unit from situations which could damage it should the operation of the refrigeration circuit fall outside the allowable operating range.
A. Low Pressure Control
The low pressure control monitors the compressor suction pressure and will shut the compressor down if the refrigerant evaporating pressure becomes too low, risking the danger of freezing conditions in the evaporator.
There are (3) main reasons why this control would activate in response to the operating conditions of the unit while operating in heating mode:
LOW -6%
MED Nominal
HIGH +6%
1. Low or no Outdoor loop flow.
2. Low Outdoor loop entering liquid temperature.
3. Dirty or fouled Outdoor loop heat exchanger.
MAX +12%
Units are shipped with the MED position selected for nominal air flow. The air flow can be further reduced by 15% by
B. High Pressure Control
The high pressure safety control monitors the compressor discharge pressure and will shut the compressor down if the condensing pressure becomes too high. making a dry contact across AR
1
and AR
2
on the terminal strip.
This can be used for applications that have multiple zones, or retrofits with undersized ductwork, to help reduce air flow noise in the ductwork. It is recommended that airflow reduction only be used with the High or Max air flow setting. Care should be taken to ensure that the unit does not trip a safety control in heating or cooling mode if the 15% reduction is used in conjunction with the MED or LOW air flow setting.
There are (3) main reasons why this control would activate in response to the operating conditions of the unit while operating in heating mode:
1. Low or no airflow.
2. High return air temperature.
3. Dirty air coil due to poor filter maintenance.
FAN RETURN ORIENTATION
The RH-Series heat pump can be ordered as a left or right hand return from the factory. This must be specified at time of order as the physical construction of the two configurations is different. Refer to the specification documents for more details.
The unit contains a control board that monitors the safety controls and operates the compressor accordingly. Refer to
APPENDIX A for control board specifications. The low pressure control is connected to LP1 and LP2. The high pressure control is connected to HP1 and HP2.
The control board also has provisions for a flow switch.
FAN OUTLET ORIENTATION
The RH-Series heat pumps have a field configurable fan.
It’s default location from the factory is in the end of the unit, providing a “ninety” in the airflow. It can easily be placed in the side of the unit for straight through airflow.
To switch the location of the fan outlet follow these simple steps:
1. Turn the power of to the unit.
2. Remove the screw that holds the side access panel in place and remove the access panel by pulling up on the handle and then outward from the bottom.
3. Repeat for the access panel with the fan mounted in it.
Ensure the wire harnesses are free while removing the fan.
4. Disconnect the two wire harnesses and ground wire
The flow switch is unused from the factory and a jumper wire is placed across the FLOW SWITCH terminals. If a flow switch is desired, the jumper can be removed and the two leads from the flow switch can be connected to the FLOW SWITCH terminals on the safety board. The flow switch is ignored for 30 seconds on compressor startup to allow time for flow to be established.
The high and low pressure controls are monitored at all times.
The compressor will not be able to start if either of them has a fault.
The control board has an on-board LED and a FAULT pin with a 24VAC output. An external indicator or relay can be connected across the FAULT pin and ground if external signaling is desired. Should a fault occur, the LED will flash the code of the fault condition while the safety control in question is open.
The codes are shown in TABLE 3.
The control board will lock out the compressor for five minutes when a fault occurs. Three from the fan motor.
5. Place the fan in front of the new location and reconnect both harnesses and the ground wire.
6. Install the fan and secure with the screw.
7. Install the remaining access panel and secure with the remaining screw.
CONTROL TRANSFORMER
The low voltage controls are powered by a 75VA class II transformer. The transformer has a resettable breaker on the retries per fault condition are allowed within a 60 minute period.
If the fault condition occurs a fourth time the control board will permanently lock out the compressor and energize the FAULT pin. This can only be reset by powering down the unit. The
LED will flash the fault code until the unit is reset.
If the control board enters permanent lockout mode there is a serious problem with the system and it must be rectified if the unit is to maintain good service.

CONNECTIONS (HACW ONLY)
A typical piping diagram for a pre-heat tank (two-tank) configuration can be found in drawing 000970PDG at the end of this section.

Ensure the tank is filled with water and under pressure before activating the heat pump. Slightly loosen the boiler drain on the DHW Out pipe to allow air to escape from the system before the unit is started. This step will make certain that the domestic hot water circulator in the unit is flooded with water when it is started.
CAUTION: the domestic hot water pump is water
! lubricated; damage will occur to the pump if it is
run dry for even a short period of time.
Connect the brown wire with the blue insulated terminal to
L1 of the compressor contactor. Ensure the power is off
when connecting the wire.
The DHW loop may have to be purged of air several times before good circulation is obtained. A temperature difference between the DHW In and DHW Out can be felt by hand when the circulator pump is operating properly.
For the pre-heat tank setup, the final tank should be set to
140°F(60°C), unless local code requires a higher setting.
The pre-heat tank does not require electric elements. This setup takes full advantage of the desuperheater as it is the sole heat provider to the pre-heat tank. The desuperheater remains active during the compressor runtime until the pre-heat tank has been completely heated by the desuperheater alone. This setup is more energy efficient than a single tank setup.
CAUTION: If two (2) shut-off valves are located on the domestic hot water ines as shown in the diagram, a pressure relief valve must be installed to prevent possible damage to the domestic hot water circulator pump should both valves be closed.

This helps prevent any vibrations from travelling down the ductwork. If a plenum heater is installed, the collar should be at least 12” away from the heater the heating design load for maximum long term efficiency with minimal supplementary heat. The unit should be installed as per CSA 448.2-02. For ground loop applications, the ground exchanger should be designed using suitable elements.
The first 5-10 feet of the main supply trunks should be insulated with acoustical duct insulation to further inhibit any noise software with a multi-year analysis.
There are many factors to consider when sizing the heat from the unit from travelling down the ductwork. If a plenum heater is installed, insulation should not be placed within 12” of the heater elements. pump. Some of these factors include the number of levels, the size of the windows, the orientation of the home, attached garage, bonus rooms, walk-in basement, coldest outdoor temperature, etc. The heat loss program will take all of these factors

DUCT SYSTEMS - GRILL LAYOUT
Most forced air heating systems in homes have the floor grills placed around the perimeter of the room to be heated. Supply grills should be placed under a window when possible to help prevent condensation on the window. As mentioned in the previous sub-section, supply grill leads should be 6'' in diameter (28 sq.in. each) to allow 100cfm of air flow.
In a typical new construction, there should be one supply grill for every 100sq.ft. of area in the room. When rooms require more than one grill, they should be placed in a manner that promotes even heat distribution, such as one at each end of the room. It is always a good idea to place a damper in each grill supply or place adjustable grills so that any imbalances in the heat distribution can be corrected.
The total number of supply grills available is based on the heat pump nominal airflow. TABLE 6 shows the number of grills available per heat pump size.

Return grills should be mounted on the floor. At minimum they should be the same size as the supply grill, it is highly recommended that they be 25% to 50% larger than the total
supply. They should be placed opposite the supply grills when possible to ensure distribution across the room. For rooms requiring more than one supply grill, it may be possible to use one larger return grill if it can be centrally positioned opposite of the supply grills, however it is preferred to have one return for each supply to maximize heat distribution across the room.
THERMOSTAT LOCATION
Most homes are a single zone with one thermostat. The thermostat should be centrally located within the home, typically on the main floor. It should be placed away from any supply grills, and should not be positioned directly above a return grill. Most installations have the thermostat located in a hallway, or in the inner wall of the living room. It should be noted that most homes do not have any supply ducts in the hallway. This can lead to a temperature lag at the thermostat if there is very little air movement in the hallway, causing the home to be warmer than indicated by the thermostat.
PLENUM HEATER (OPTIONAL)
For installations that do not already have a backup heat source such as electric baseboard, wood stove, propane etc, it is recommended that a plenum heater be installed. This provides two functions.
The first function of the plenum heater is to act as an auxiliary heat source. As such it will provide additional heat on extremely cold days if the heat pump is unable to bring the home temperature up quickly enough, eliminating any discomfort to the homeowner.
The second function of the plenum heater is to provide emergency heat should a problem occur that causes the heat pump to be locked out. This can be engaged by setting the thermostat to emergency heat, allowing the plenum heater to function while preventing the heat pump from operating. Should the heat pump fail while the home is vacant, the auxiliary function of the thermostat will maintain the temperature setting of the thermostat.
The plenum heater is powered separately from the heat pump. Only two control wires are needed to connect the plenum heater to the heat pump. Refer to the label on the plenum heater or the electrical box diagram on the inside of the electrical box cover of the unit for details on the connections.
The plenum heater should be mounted in the supply duct in a manner that allows all of the airflow to pass through it to prevent any hot spots in the heater elements.
TABLE 7 shows the recommended size plenum heater, as well as the wire size and breaker size needed to provide power to the plenum heater.

CONDENSATE DRAIN
The unit comes equipped with a 3/4” PVC socket fitting
(female) labeled “Condensate Drain”. This drain allows the condensate which forms during the air-conditioning cycle to be removed from the unit. The drain should be connected as per local codes. During high humidity weather, there could be as much as 25 gallons of water formed per day.
Care should be taken in the spring to ensure that this pipe is not plugged with dust that has collected during the winter causing the condensate to overflow into the bottom of the heat pump and onto the floor. The condensate drain must be externally trapped and proper venting is required external to the heat pump as well. Refer to local codes to ensure the installation is done properly.
Drawing 000822CDG shows a typical installation.

* These are minimum water requirements based on an entering water temperature of 46° F.
**Based on two-minute well pump run time. Use next size larger tank if there is not a match for the value indicated.
A larger tank may be used if a longer run time is desired.
PLUMBING THE HEAT PUMP
Plumbing lines, both supply and discharge, must be of adequate size to handle the water flow necessary for the heat pump. A 1” copper or plastic line should be run to the Outdoor
IN (Supply IN) pipe of the heat pump. Similarly, a 1”' line should be run from the Outdoor OUT (Supply Out) pipe to the method of disposal. P/T plugs should be installed at each port. See
Diagram A in the Ground Loop section for a description of P/T plugs. The water valve should be installed in the discharge line.
Refer to drawing 000907CDG at the end of this section for the recommended setup. Placing the water valve in the discharge line ensures that the heat exchanger inside the heat pump remains full of water when the unit is not running. Unions or some other form of disconnect should be used so that the coaxial heat exchanger may be accessed should it required cleaning.
The heat pump has an electrical connector for the water valve just inside the case. After the water valve is installed, run the valve harness into the case through the hole provided. Remove the jumper plug from the Valve Connector and connect the harness in its place.
Ideally there will be water flow available in excess of the requirement of the heat pump. In such a situation the proper pump can be selected to maintain a pressure of 30 to 40 psig. on the lines when the heat pump is operating. However in some cases a well can supply a heat pump only if the minimum requirement for water is used.
000821MAN-01
Water flow to the heat pump can be controlled very accurately by the installation of a reverse action refrigeration pressure valve in the discharge line of the unit.
Another more common method of regulating the flow is by the use of a DOLE Valve. This valve will automatically control the amount of water flowing through it by varying the diameter of a flexible rubber orifice through which the water passes. This minimizes the water usage of the unit and also prevents excessively low discharge pressure when in cooling mode. Dole valves can be noisy, it is recommended that they be installed outside if possible.
Optionally a water flow meter can be installed in the discharge line so that the exact amount of water flowing can be determined at a glance. It should be placed between the Outdoor OUT (Supply OUT) pipe of the heat pump and the water valve.
With Proper flow, there should be 5-7°F (3-4°C) delta T between the IN and OUT water temperatures of the heat pump when operating in the heating mode.
All water line valves on both the supply and discharge lines should be either BALL or GATE valves. GLOBE valves have a higher pressure drop, meaning more pumping power to maintain the required flow to the heat pump.
PIPE INSULATION
All ground water piping to and from the Outdoor Loop ports on the heat pump should be insulated with 3/8” closed cell pipe insulation, to prevent condensation and dripping onto floors or walls.
WATER DISCHARGE METHODS
Water disposal methods vary from area to area. However, some consideration should be made to prevent the cooled discharge water from immediately coming in contact with the supply source. Attempting to return the water to the source well will eventually cool the water so much that the heat pump will shut off on its low pressure safety control.
Acceptable methods for disposing of the waste water are listed below. The waste water is clean, the heat pump has no other effect than reducing the temperature of the water. Refer to the Ground Water Disposal methods diagram for typical disposal method diagrams.
•
Second well (return well)
•
Percolation (Drain, ditch, leaching field)
•
Pond, river or stream.
ENSURE SELECTED METHOD CONFORMS TO LOCAL CODES.
Page 14 ISSUE 02: 08 OCT 2010
A return well should be a minimum of 80 ft. from the supply well for residential applications. The water returned to the well will not necessarily be pumped into the same aquifer, depending on underground conditions. The return well must be able to supply at least the same quantity of water as the amount you wish to recharge into it. If the static level (level when not being pumped) of a well is high (10 to 20 ft. from the surface) it may be necessary to place a well cap on the well to keep the return water from flowing out the top of the well. This cap is commonly required since a certain amount of pressure is needed to force the return water back down the well if the static level is high.
Water discharged by percolation will generally soak into the ground within a distance of 50 to 100 ft. If suitable care is taken to ensure that the drain pipe runs downhill and the end of the pipe is protected by a bale of hay or spruce bows etc. the end of the pipe will not freeze as the pipe will empty out when the heat pump shuts off and the water valve closes.
When snow comes it will usually cover the entire process much like a small spring. It is recommended that the pipe be below the frost line when possible for maximum freeze protection.
When discharging into a river or stream, or above the surface of a pond, the same guidelines should be followed as described in the paragraph above for the percolation method.
When discharging the waste water below the surface of a pond, the discharge pipe should be placed below the frost line to prevent the pipe from freezing. As opposed to the percolation method, water will remain in the end of the pipe. It is recommended that the surface of the pond be lower than the installation location of the heat pump where practical. This reduces the back pressure generated by the weight of the water in the

Ground Loop System Information
Once the ground loop has been pressure tested and the header pipes have been connected to the circulator pump module, the heat pump can be connected to the circulator pump module.
CIRCULATOR PUMP MODULE
Maritime Geothermal Ltd. has compact pump modules with built in three way valves to facilitate filling and purging the ground loop. Refer to drawing 000906CDG at the end of this
section. Alternatively, Grundfoss® Model UPS 26-99 or Taco®
Model 0011 pumps or other brands with similar pumping capability may be used. The single pump module will typically handle systems up to 3 tons (model sizes 25 - 45); the two pump module will typically handle 4 to 6 ton systems (model sizes 55, 65, 75). This is based on a typical parallel system with one circuit per ton.
Maritime Geothermal recommends calculating the total pressure drop of the ground loop (including headers, indoor piping and heat pump exchanger drop) based on the antifreeze type and concentration at the desired minimum loop temperature. A pump module that can deliver the flow required for the unit at the calculated total pressure drop should be selected.
Refer to the Model Specific Information section for unit flow requirements.
Loop pressure drops can be calculated using software such as those mentioned in the Horizontal Ground loops section, or can be calculated in a spreadsheet using the pipe manufacturer’s pressure drop tables for pipe diameter and fittings.
The circulator pump module must be connected to the heat pump Outdoor Loop ports with a lineset suitable for the flow required with minimum pressure drop. 1” rubber or plastic lines should be used. The installation of P/T plugs (pressure / temperature, pronounced “Pete’s plugs” ) is recommended on both the entering and leaving lines at the heat pump (see
Diagram A).
DIAGRAM A - Typical P/T (Pete’s) Plug
& Thermometer Stems
The P/T plug will allow the installer or homeowner to check water flow through the loop by measuring the pressure difference through the heat exchanger and comparing it to that listed in the Model Specific Information section , or the specifications document . Optional fittings with P/T ports are available for the circulator pump modules sold by Maritime
Geothermal Ltd..
FLUSHING & PURGING THE GROUND
LOOP
Once the groundloop has been installed and all connections are completed between the heat pump, circulator pump module and ground loop, the entire ground loop system should be
pressure tested with air to 100 PSIG to make sure there are no leaks on any of the inside fittings. Soap all joints and observe that the pressure remains constant for 1 hour.
When satisfied that all connections are leak free, release the air pressure and connect a purge cart (see Diagram B ) to the flushing access ports at the pump module (refer to drawing
000906CDG).
A temporary flushing system can alternately be constructed using a 45 gal. barrel and a pump with sufficient volume and head capability to circulate fluid at a velocity of at
least 2 ft./min. through all parts of the loop.
DIAGRAM B - Typical Purge Cart
ISSUE 02: 08 OCT 2010
Adjust the circulator pump module valves to connect the purge cart to the ground loop. Begin pumping water through the ground loop, ensuring that the intake of the pump stays submerged at all times by continuously adding water. Water flowing back from the return line should be directed below the water level in the barrel or flush tank to prevent air being mixed with the outgoing water.
Page 17 000821MAN-01
Once the lines have been filled and no more air bubbles are appearing in the line, adjust the circulator pump module valves to circulate water through the heat pump using the same technique as described above. When all air is removed reverse the flow of water through the lines by interchanging the flush cart lines and purge again. You will be able to visibly tell when all air is removed.
ADDING ANTIFREEZE SOLUTION
In most mid and northern areas of the US and in all of
Canada it is necessary to condition the loop fluid by the addition of some type of antifreeze solution so that it will not freeze during operation in the winter months. This antifreeze is required because the loop fluid will normally reach a low entering temperature of 28°F to 32°F (-2°C to 0°C) and refrigerant temperatures inside the heat pump’s heat exchanger may be as low as 20°F (11°C) cooler. See TABLE 10 for details of freeze protection provided by different concentrations.
TABLE 10 - Antifreeze Percentages
BY VOLUME
Protection to: 10°F 15°F 20°F 25°F
Methanol 25% 21% 16% 10%
Propylene Glycol 38% 30% 22% 15%
Protection to:
BY WEIGHT
10°F 15°F 20°F 25°F
Methanol 16.8% 13.6% 10% 6.3%
NOTE: Add enough antifreeze to allow for a temperature
20°F (11°C) lower than the expected lowest loop fluid temperature entering the heat pump.
Although many different antifreeze solutions have been employed in geothermal systems, the alcohols such as methanol or ethanol have the most desirable characteristics for groundloop applications. The overall heat transfer characteristics of these fluids remain high although care must be taken when handling pure alcohols since they are extremely flammable. Once mixed in a typical 25% by volume ratio with water the solution is not flammable. In situations where alcohols are not allowed as a loop fluid due to local regulations then propylene glycol is a non-toxic alternative which can be substituted . Propylene glycol should only be used in cases where alcohols are not permitted since the heat transfer characteristics are less desirable and it becomes more viscous at low temperatures, increasing pumping power.
The volume of fluid that your loop system holds can be closely estimated by totaling the number of ft. of each size pipe in the system and referencing TABLE 11 the for approximate volume per 100 ft.
When the volume of the loop has been calculated and the appropriate amount of antifreeze is ready for addition by referencing TABLE 10 , drain the equivalent amount of water from the flush cart or mixing barrel and replace it with the antifreeze.
When using alcohols, be sure to inject below the water
line to reduce initial volatility of the pure antifreeze. If the loop is large it may be necessary to refill the tank with antifreeze
000821MAN-01 Page 18 several times to get all the antifreeze into the loop. Pump the loop for 5 to 10 minutes longer to ensure the remaining fluid has been well mixed.

INITIAL PRESSURIZATION
At this point open all valves in the flow circuit and slowly close off the supply and return flush cart valves in a manner that leaves about 20-30 psig. on the system. If an air bladder expansion tank is used it should be charged to the above pressure before actual water pressure is put on the system .
Systems without an expansion tank will experience greater fluctuations in pressure between the heating and cooling seasons, causing pressure gauges to have different values as the loop temperature changes. This fluctuation is normal since expansion and contraction of the loop fluid must be handled by the elasticity of the plastic loop.
•
Pressurize the loop to a static pressure of 45 psig. when installing a system in the fall going into the heating season.
•
Pressurize the loop to a static pressure of 25 psig. when installing a system in the spring or summer going into the cooling season.
After operating the heat pump for a period of time, any residual air in the system should be bled off and the static pressure should be verified and adjusted if necessary. Add additional water / antifreeze mix with the purge cart to bring the pressure back to the original setting if required.
PIPE INSULATION
All ground loop piping inside the structure (between the structure entry point and the heat pump) should be insulated with 3/8” thick closed cell pipe insulation to prevent condensation and dripping onto floors or walls.

UNIT STARTUP
The unit is now ready to be started. The steps below outline the procedure for starting the unit and verifying proper operation of the unit. It is recommended that safety glasses be worn during the following procedures.
Preparation:
1. Remove the caps from the service ports and connect a refrigeration manifold set to the unit.
2. Turn the power on to the heat pump and set the thermostat to OFF. Set up the thermostat as per the instructions provided
with it so that it will function properly with the heat pump system (set for heat pump, not for heating and cooling). The O
signal should be set to active in cooling mode.
3. Measure the following voltages on the compressor contactor and record them on the startup sheet: L1-L2, L2-L3, L1-L3.
Heating Mode:
1. Set the thermostat to heating mode and adjust the setpoint to activate Stage 1 and Stage 2. The fan should slowly ramp up
to speed after the time delay of the thermostat expires (if applicable) and the compressor will start (allow 30-60 seconds for
the water valve to open for ground water systems)
2. Check the refrigeration gauges. The suction and discharge pressures will depend on the loop temperatures, but they should
be about 90-110PSIG and 260-360PSIG respectively for a typical start-up.
3. Monitoring the refrigeration gauges while the unit runs. Record the following after 10 minutes of runtime:
1. Suction pressure
2. Discharge pressure
3. Duct Return temperature (poke a small hole in the flex collar and insert probe in airstream)
4. Duct Supply temperature (poke a small hole in the flex collar and insert probe in airstream)
5. Duct Delta T (should be between 20-30°F, 11-17°C )
6. Outdoor Loop In (Supply In) temperature
7. Outdoor Loop Out (Supply Out) temperature
8. Outdoor Delta T (should be between 5-8°F, 3-4°C )
9. Outdoor flow (if available)
10. Compressor L1(C) current (black wire, place meter between electrical box and compressor)
4. Adjust the thermostat setpoint to the desired room temperature and let the unit run through a cycle. Record the setpoint
and the discharge pressure when the unit shuts off.
5. For units with a desuperheater, turn the power off to the unit. Connect the brown wire with the blue insulated terminal to the
compressor contactor as shown in the electrical box diagram. Turn the power to the unit on.
6. Remove the electrical cover from the plenum heater. Place a current clamp meter around one of the supply wires. Turn on
the power to the plenum heater. Adjust the thermostat setpoint to 85°F (29°C) . Verify that the current draw increase as
each stage is activated. (10kW has 2 stages, 15kW has 3 stages and 20kW has 4 stages).
7. Verify the DHW IN and DHW OUT temperatures (if applicable) by hand (caution: pipes get hot). If the DHW OUT line does
not become hotter than the DHW IN line the circulator is air locked. Bleed the air from the system and check the
temperature differential again to ensure there is flow from the circulator.
Cooling Mode:
1. Set the thermostat to cooling mode and adjust the setpoint to activate Stage 1 and Stage 2.
2. Monitoring the refrigeration gauges while the unit runs. Record the following after 10 minutes of runtime:
1. Suction pressure
2. Discharge pressure
3. Duct Return temperature
4. Duct Supply Out temperature
5. Duct Delta T
6. Outdoor Loop In (Supply In) temperature
7. Outdoor Loop Out (Supply Out) temperature
8. Outdoor Delta T
3. Adjust the thermostat setpoint to the desired room temperature if possible, otherwise set it just low enough to allow the unit
to run (ie 1°F (0.5°C) less than room temperature) and let the unit run through a cycle. Record the thermostat setpoint and
the suction pressure when the unit shuts off.
Final Inspection:
1. Turn the power off to the unit (and plenum heater if installed) and remove all test equipment.
2. Install the electrical box cover and the access panel on the heat pump. Install the service port caps securely to prevent
refrigerant loss. Install the electrical cover on the plenum heater if applicable.
3. Do a final check for leaks in the ground water / ground loop system and ensure the area is clean.
4. Turn the power on to the unit and the plenum heater if installed. Set the thermostat to the final settings.
Startup Record:
1. The startup personnel shall sign and date the Startup Record and have the startup witness or appropriate site personnel sign as well. The startup personnel shall leave the Startup Record with the homeowner, retain a copy for filing and send a copy to Maritime
Geothermal Ltd. for warranty registration.

Troubleshooting Guide
The following steps are for troubleshooting the geothermal heat pump. If the problem is with the domestic hot water or the plenum heater, proceed to those sections at the end of the troubleshooting guide. Repair procedures and reference refrigeration circuit diagrams can be found at the end of the troubleshooting guide.
STEP 1: Verify that the display is present on the thermostat. If it is not, proceed to POWER SUPPLY TROUBLE
SHOOTING, otherwise proceed to STEP 2.
STEP 2: Remove the door and electrical box cover and check to see if there is a fault code on the control board. If
there is, record the fault code. Turn the power off, wait 10 seconds and turn the power back on. Set the
thermostat to call for heating or cooling depending on the season.
STEP 3: If a 24VAC signal does not appear across Y1 and C of the terminal strip within 6 minutes, proceed to the
THERMOSTAT TROUBLESHOOTING section, otherwise proceed to STEP 4.
STEP 4: If a fault code appears once a signal is present at Y1 and the compressor does not attempt to start,
proceed to the FAULT CODE TROUBLESHOOTING section, otherwise proceed to STEP 5.
STEP 5: If no fault codes appear and the compressor does not attempt to start, attempts to start but cannot, starts hard, or starts
but does not sound normal, proceed to the COMPRESSOR TROUBLESHOOTING section, otherwise proceed to
STEP 6.
STEP 6: If the compressor starts and sounds normal, this means the compressor is OK and the problem lies
elsewhere. Proceed to the OPERATION TROUBLESHOOTING section.
NOTE: To speed up the troubleshooting process, the Test Jumper on the safety board can be placed to the YES
position to change the anti-short cycle timer to 5 seconds. Be sure to set it back to NO when servicing is
complete.

Dole flow control Valve
The Dole® flow control is a simple, selfcleaning device designed to deliver a constant volume of water from any outlet whether the pressure is 15 psig or as high as 125 psi. The controlling mechanism consists of a flexible orifice that varies its area inversely with pressure so that a constant flow is maintained.
ISSUE 02: 08 OCT 2010
REPAIR PROCEDURES
PUMP DOWN PROCEDURE
STEP 1 Connect the refrigerant recovery unit to the heat pump service ports via a refrigeration charging manifold and to a recovery tank as per the instructions in the recovery unit manual. If there was a compressor burn out, the refrigerant cannot be reused and must be disposed of according to local codes.
STEP 2 All water coil heat exchangers must either have full flow or be completely drained of fluid before recovery begins. Failure to do so can freeze and rupture the heat exchanger, voiding its warranty. (Note that this does not apply to double wall domestic hot water exchangers (desuperheater coils)
STEP 3 Ensure all hose connections are properly purged of air. Start the refrigerant recovery as per the instructions in the recovery unit manual.
STEP 4 Allow the recovery unit suction pressure to reach a vacuum. Once achieved, close the charging manifold valves. Shut down, purge and disconnect the recovery unit as per the instructions in its manual. Ensure the recovery tank valve is closed before disconnecting the hose to it.
STEP 5 Connect a nitrogen tank to the charging manifold and add nitrogen to the heat pump until a positive pressure of 5-10PSIG is reached. This prevents air from being sucked into the unit by the vacuum when the hoses are disconnected.
STEP 6 The heat pump is now ready for repairs. Always ensure nitrogen is flowing through the system during any soldering procedures to prevent soot buildup inside the pipes. Maritime Geothermal Ltd. recommends replacing the liquid line filter-drier anytime the refrigeration system has been exposed to the atmosphere.
VACUUM AND CHARGING PROCEDURE
STEP 1 After completion of repairs and nitrogen pressure testing, the refrigeration circuit is ready for vacuuming.
STEP 2 Release the refrigerant circuit pressure and connect the vacuum pump to the charging manifold. Start the vacuum pump and open the charging manifold valves. Vacuum until the vacuum gauge remains at less than 500 microns for at least 1 minute with the vacuum pump valve closed.
STEP 3 Close the charging manifold valves then shut off and disconnect the vacuum pump. Place a refrigerant tank with the proper refrigerant on a scale and connect it to the charging manifold. Purge the hose to the tank.
STEP 4 Weigh in the appropriate amount of refrigerant through the low pressure (suction) service port. Refer to the label on the unit or TABLE 12 - Refrigerant Charge Chart for the proper charge amount.
STEP 5 If the unit will not accept the entire charge, the remainder can be added through the low pressure service port after the unit has been restarted.
REPLACMENT PROCEDURE FOR A COMPRESSOR BURN-OUT
STEP 1 Pump down the unit as per the Pump Down Procedure above.
STEP 2 Replace the compressor. Replace the liquid line filter-drier.
STEP 3 Vacuum the unit until it remains under 500 microns for several minutes with the vacuum pump valve closed.
STEP 4 Charge the unit and operate it for continuously for 2 hours. Pump down the unit and replace the filter-drier.
Vacuum the unit until it remains under 500 microns for several minutes with the vacuum pump valve closed.
STEP 5 Charge the unit (refrigerant can be re-used) and operate it for 2-3 days. Pump down the unit and replace the filter-drier.
STEP 6 Charge the unit (refrigerant can be re-used) and operate it for 2 weeks. Pump down the unit and replace the filter-drier.
STEP 7 Charge the unit a final time. Unit should now be clean and repeated future burn-outs can be avoided.
