WINTER HEATING

1. Outdoor air enters heat pump.

2. Cold, heat-transfer section (outdoor coil) extracts heat from outdoor air as refrigerant evaporates from a liquid to a gas.

3. Refrigerant, compressed to a hot gas by heat pump, carries the heat to the hot heattransfer section (indoor coil).

4. Hot, heat-transfer section (indoor coil) releases the heat to indoor air as refrigerant condenses from a gas to a liquid.

5. Air handler circulates the heat throughout the home.

6. Refrigerant returns to outdoor coil and evaporates once again to absorb more heat.

SUMMER COOLING

1. Indoor air enters the air handler section.

2. Cold, heat-transfer section (indoor coil) extracts heat from indoor air as refrigerant evaporates from a liquid to a cold gas.

3. Refrigerant, drawn to heat pump and compressed to a hot gas by heat pump, carries the heat outdoors.

4. Hot, heat-transfer section (outdoor coil) releases the heat as refrigerant condenses from a gas to a liquid.

5. Heat pump (outdoor fan) discharges the heat to outside air.

6. Refrigerant returns to indoor coil and evaporates once again to absorb more heat.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TO OPERATE YOUR HEAT PUMP

FOR COOLING —

1. Set the thermostat system switch to COOL and the thermostat fan switch to AUTO. (See

Figure 1)

2. Set the thermostat temperature to the desired temperature level using the temperature selector. Please refer to the separate detailed thermostat user’s manual for complete instructions regarding thermostat programming. The outdoor unit and indoor blower will both cycle on and off to maintain the indoor temperature at the desired cooling level.

NOTE: If the thermostat temperature level is re-adjusted, or the thermostat system switch is repositioned, the outdoor unit may not start immediately. The outdoor unit contains a protective timer circuit which holds the unit off for approximately fi ve minutes following a previous operation, or the interruption of the main electrical power.

TO OPERATE YOUR HEAT PUMP

FOR HEATING —

1. Set the thermostat system switch to HEAT and the thermostat fan switch to AUTO.

(See Figure 1)

2. Set the thermostat temperature to the desired temperature level using the temperature selector. Please refer to the separate detailed thermostat user’s manual for complete instructions regarding thermostat programming. The outdoor unit and indoor blower will both cycle on and off to maintain the indoor temperature at the desired heating level.

NOTE: If the thermostat temperature level is re-adjusted, or the thermostat system switch is repositioned, the outdoor unit may not start immediately. The outdoor unit contains a protective timer circuit which holds the unit off for approximately fi ve minutes following a previous operation, or the interruption of the main electrical power.

The thermostat includes a system switch position termed EM. HT. This is a back-up heating mode to be used only if there is a suspected problem with the outdoor unit. With the system switch set to EM.

HT. the outdoor unit will be locked off, and supplemental heat (typically electric resistance heating) will be used as a source of heat. Sustained use of electric resistance heat in place of the heat pump will result in an increase in electric utility costs.

Defrost:

During cold weather heating operation, the outdoor unit will develop a coating

Figure 1. Typical Thermostat

of snow and ice on the heat transfer coil.

This is normal, and the unit will periodically defrost itself. At the beginning of the defrost cycle, both the outdoor condenser fan and compressor will de-energize. After approximately 30 seconds, the compressor will energize and begin to heat the outdoor coil causing the ice and snow to melt.

After the ice and snow have melted, some steam may rise from the outdoor unit as the warm coil causes some melted frost to evaporate. Once the defrost cycle is completed, the outdoor fan motor will start, and the compressor will de-energize again for approximately 30 seconds. Then, the compressor will energize and continue normal operation.

The continuous indoor blower operation can be obtained with the thermostat system switch set in any position, including OFF.

The continuous indoor blower operation is typically used to circulate the indoor air to equalize a temperature unbalance due to a sun load, cooking, or fi replace operation.

TO MAINTAIN YOUR HEAT PUMP —

!

CAUTION:

Outdoor Unit — Ensure the outdoor coil and top of the unit are free from obstructions and debris, and all equipment access/control panels are in place.

Using extreme caution, apply power to the unit and inspect the wiring for evidence of open, shorted, and/or improperly wired circuits.

Functional Checkout:

compressor from abnormal temperatures that may occur if there is a loss of charge. Under normal conditions, the switch is closed. If the discharge temperature rises above 270 o

F, then the switch will open and de-energize the outdoor unit. The switch will close again once the temperature decreases below 190 o F. Please note that the switch interrupts the thermostat inputs to the unit. Thus, when the switch opens and then closes, there will be a 5 minute short cycling delay before the outdoor unit will energize.

!

CAUTION:

These units have a crankcase heater factory installed. Wait 24 hour

s prior to performing a function checkout to allow for heating of the compressor crankcase.

Failure to comply may result in damage and could cause premature failure of the system.

Indoor Blower — Turn the fan switch to ON.

Verify that the indoor blower is operating and that airfl ow is not restricted. Set the fan switch back to AUTO. Blower will operate at a decreased speed on continuous fan.

High-Pressure Switch — A high-pressure switch is factory-installed and located in the compressor discharge line internal to the outdoor unit. The switch is designed to de-energize the system when very high pressures occur during abnormal conditions. Under normal conditions, the switch is closed. If the discharge pressure rises above 575 psig, then the switch will open and de-energize the outdoor unit. The switch will close again once the discharge pressure decreases to 460 psig. Please note that the switch interrupts the thermostat inputs to the unit. Thus, when the switch opens and then closes, there will be a 5 minute short cycling delay before the outdoor unit will energize.

2-Speed Outdoor Fan Motor (Select

Models) — If unit utilizes a 2-speed condenser fan motor, this motor will operate on low speed when in low cooling, and on high speed when in high cooling. A relay within the control area switches the fan motor from low to high speed using the call for high cooling as the trigger.

Low-Pressure Switch — A low-pressure switch is factory-installed and located in the suction line internal to the outdoor unit. The switch is designed to protect the compressor from a loss of charge. Under normal conditions, the switch is closed. If the suction pressure falls below 5 psig, then the switch will open and de-energize the outdoor unit. The switch will close again once the suction pressure increases above 20 psig. Please note that the switch interrupts the thermostat inputs to the unit. Thus, when the switch opens and then closes, there will be a 5 minute short cycling delay before the outdoor unit will energize.

Discharge Temperature Limit — A discharge temperature limit is factory installed and located on the compressor discharge line internal to the outdoor unit within 5 inches of the compressor discharge. The limit is designed to protect the

Short Cycle Protection — With the system operating in COOLING mode, note the setpoint temperature setting of the thermostat, and gradually raise the setpoint temperature until the outdoor unit and indoor blower de-energize.

Immediately lower the setpoint temperature of the thermostat to its original setting and verify that the indoor blower is energized and that the outdoor unit remains de-energized. Verify that, after approximately 5 minutes, the outdoor unit energizes and that the temperature of the air supplied to the facility is cooler than ambient temperature.

Comfort Alert

Alert

TM

TM

Diagnostics — The Comfort

diagnostics module is a breakthrough innovation for troubleshooting heat pump and air conditioning system failures. The module installs easily in the electrical box of the outdoor unit near the compressor contactor.

By monitoring and analyzing data from the

Copeland scroll compressor and the thermostat demand, the module can accurately detect the cause of electrical and system related failures without any sensors. A fl ashing LED indicator communicates the ALERT code and guides the service technician more quickly and accurately to the root cause of a problem.

8

NOTE: This module does not provide safety protection! The Comfort Alert

TM

module is a monitoring device and cannot control or shut down other devices.

LED Description (See Figure 1)

POWER LED (Green): indicates voltage is present at the power connection of the module.

24 VAC Power Wiring — The Comfort Alert TM module requires a constant nominal 24 VAC 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 the C terminal on a defrost board or other control board without experiencing nuisance alerts.

ALERT LED (Yellow): communicates an abnormal system condition through a unique fl ash code. The ALERT LED will fl ash a number of times consecutively, pause and then repeat the process. The number of consecutive fl ashes, defi ned as the Flash Code, correlates to a particular abnormal condition. Detailed descriptions of specifi c ALERT Flash Codes are shown in Table 1 of this manual.

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.

When constant 24 VAC (R) wire) is not present in the outdoor unit, use one of the spare wires in the thermostat cable to bring power to the module. Connect the other end of the spare wire to R at the indoor unit or thermostat.

Thermostat Demand Wiring — The Comfort

Alert

TM

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 24 VAC when the coil is not energized, the demand signal input should be less than 0.5 VAC.

The scroll compressor’s run (R), common (C) and start (S) wires are routed through the holes in the Comfort Alert

TM

module marked “R,” “C” and

“S.” The common (C) need not be routed through the module for it to operate properly.

NOTE: Factory installed modules have different thermostat demand signal wiring. Follow manufacturer’s wiring instructions when replacing module.

NOTE: After the thermostat demand signal is connected, verify that 24 VAC across Y and C when demand is present.

Split system heat pump equipment contains liquid and gaseous refrigerant under pressure . Adjustment of refrigerant charge should only be attempted by qualified, trained personnel thoroughly familiar with the equipment. Under no circumstances should the homeowner attempt to install and/or service this equipment.

Failure to comply with this warning could result in equipment damage, personal injury, or death.

2. With compressor running in heat mode, fi rst jump the “T2”-”DFT” test pins. This will indicate to board that defrost T-stat is closed. Defrost T-stat closes at 32°, opens at 68°.

3. Next jump the “Test” pin to “C” on terminal strip. This will initiate defrost test in 5, 10 or

15 seconds (This is determined by 30, 60 or 90 minutes defrost pin settings). Factory setting will be 30 minutes.

4. When the reversing valve shifts to the defrost mode, quickly remove jumper from

“Test”-”C”. If the jumper is not removed within a 5 second period, the defrost test will terminate. Unit will continue to stay in defrost mode Until :

A) Board recognizes that defrost sensor has reached 68° and

NOTE: The unit must be charged while both fi rst and second stages are operating.

NOTE: To achieve rated capacity and effi ciency the compressor must be exposed to refrigerant for at least 24 hours prior to running and then must be run for a minimum of 12 hours.

NOTE: The following Refrigerant Charging

Charts are applicable to listed assemblies of equipment and at listed airfl ows for the indoor coil. Assemblies of indoor coils and outdoor units not listed are not recommended.

B) “T2”-”DFT” jumper is removed or

C) 10 minutes have elapsed (board

override)

1. With the system operating at steady-state, measure the liquid refrigerant pressure in psig at the service valve.

If the above steps will not initiate a defrost, replace the defrost board.

2. Measure the liquid refrigerant temperature in Fahrenheit at the service valve.

Anti Short Cycle Timer Test

3. For the temperature measured, determine the required liquid refrigerant pressure from the appropriate charging chart below.

The 5 minute time delay feature can be bypassed or shortened to 1 second by jumping the “Test” to “C” terminal.

Note: If jumper is left on the “Test” to “common” pins permanently, the defrost cycle will become inoperable.

4. If the pressure measured in step 1 is greater than the required liquid refrigerant pressure determined in step 4, then there is too much charge in the system. Remove refrigerant and repeat steps 1 through 3 until the system is correctly charged.

5. If the pressure measured in step 1 is less than the required liquid refrigerant pressure determined in step 4, then there is too little charge in the system. Add refrigerant and repeat steps 1 through 3 until the system is correctly charged.

Procedure for charging an R-410A unit in heating mode.

1. Evacuate the refrigerant system.

2. Weigh in the proper charge per Table 3 of these installation instructions.
