Before making the final water connections, flush the system as described in the Start Up section of this manual. After flushing the system, connect piping and hoses to the proper supply, return and condensate connections of the unit. Note: An Installation Checklist is provided in this manual. Complete this checklist after all installation procedures are completed. A periodic maintenance checklist provided in the Maintenance section outlines recommended maintenance schedules. A Start-Up Inspection Log is also included at the end of this manual to encourage thorough unit checkout at initial start-up. These checklists are not a substitute for the detailed information found in the Installation section of this manual. 10. Install any other system components as required following manufacturer’s instructions. 1. Console units are typically installed along an outside wall of the room. Provide adequate space in front of the unit for service and maintenance. Locate the Console Unit so that it provides adequate air circulation throughout the room. 2. Unpack the Console Unit from the shipping carton. Remove the front cabinet by lifting up and away from the backplate. Protect the cabinet from damage during installation by returning it to its original packaging until required. 3. Using a carpenter’s square and a level, ensure the unit is level. Shim the unit if necessary to assure proper installation. 4. Select the proper fasteners to connect the backplate securely to the wall. 5. Fasten the backplate onto the wall through the screw holes located in the back flange. Secure the subbase in place for bottom return units only. 6. Remove subbase shipping support bracket and discard. 7. Make all necessary electrical connections as described in the Electrical Wiring section of this manual. Consult the wiring diagram to ensure proper hook-up. 8. Connect the final piping as described in the Supply and Return Piping and Condensate Piping section of the manual. Install shut-off valves, piping and/or hoses and other accessories as specified. ⚠ CAUTION! ⚠ Note: When necessary, use adapters to connect hoses. Note: When using replacement 3 inch subbase, unit will not be able to use low fan speed setting. When using a 5 inch subbase, low fan speed setting is allowed. 11. After Start-up, reinstall the front cabinet by carefully lowering the front cabinet over the chassis onto the backplate. Supply and Return Hoses - Optional pressure-rated hose assemblies 400 psi [2758 kPa] are available for use with Console Units. Use the following guidelines when installing supply and return hose assemblies. 1. Install supply and return hoses fitted with swivel-joint fittings at one end to prevent the hose from twisting. 2. Use adapters to secure the hose assembly to the unit and the riser. 3. Do not allow the hose to twist during installation. Twisting may damage the hose wall or the interior rubber compound. 4. Use pipe joint compound sparingly on the pipe threads of the fitting adapters. 5. Prevent sealant from reaching the flared surfaces of the joint. 6. Do not use pipe joint compound when Teflon® thread tape is pre-applied to hose assemblies or when flared-end connections are used. 7. Maximum torque which may be applied to brass fittings is 30 ft-lbs [41 N-m]. When a torque wrench is not used, tighten brass fittings finger-tight plus one quarter turn. 8. Tighten steel fittings as necessary. 9. Shut-off/balancing valves, flow indicators, and drain tees in the supply runout and return at each floor to aid in loop balancing and servicing. CAUTION! Poor or inadequate installation may result in noisy unit operation or unattractive installation. 7 ENERTECH® WATER-SOURCE HEAT PUMPS Console (ERC) Series R ev. : J u n e 6 , 2 0 2 3 Installation, Cont’d. ⚠ CAUTION! ⚠ CAUTION! Loop Fluids should be of good quality with no more than 0.50 ppm of chlorides w/copper heat exchangers (125 ppm w/ Cupro-nickel) to prevent corrosion and should also be filtered to a maximum 800 micron [0.8mm particle size to prevent erosion of the heat exchangers. Condensate Piping - Unit is supplied with condensate drain hose, 5/8 inch [16 mm] I.D. flexible plastic nonpressure-rated, protruding from piping side of unit. Connect this hose to building drain. Avoid making kinks in hose to ensure an unobstructed flow of condensate from the unit to the drain. DO NOT twist, pull hose out, or push excess hose into unit. If hose will not connect to your building drain several options include, relocate end of building drain, add to or cut hose, use hard plastic or copper elbow fittings for tight radii (put inside hose). Keep hose positioned within or over subbase area so hose does not interfere with front cabinet. Cabinet should not push or reroute hose. Clamp all joints watertight. Check for leaks. Internally the drain hose is clamped to drain pan and pitched correctly. Horizontal runs of condensate hose should be pitched downward 1/4 inch minimum for every foot [10 mm per 46 cm] of hose. Avoid low points because dirt collects in these areas and may cause blockage. If blocked the condensate level in drain pan increases. When the level gets too high, the Console unit has sensor switch that will shut unit off. Overflow may still occur. 8 If the building drain connection is parallel with floor, the height can be up to 1-1/2 inches [38 mm] above the subbase for proper pitch and correct drainage. Up to 5 inches [127 mm] above the subbase is allowable, but drainage will be slower. When the drain connection is 2-1/2 to 5 inches [64 to 127 mm] above, the hose inside the unit will act as a trap. Heights of more than 5 inches [127 mm] above the subbase are NOT allowable (condensate overflow may occur). If the unit has a disconnect option, drain locations are limited. See unit configuration pages for details. Field installation of a trap or vent is not required unless specified by local codes. Console units are designed in a blow-through configuration. The condensate drain pan is located on the outlet side of the blower so that the pressure in the drain pan is higher than atmospheric pressures. When drain connection is completed check for proper drainage and leaks. Correct if necessary. If trap is used, check and clean often. See Preventive Maintenance Instructions.

Installation of Supply and Return Piping - Follow these piping guidelines. 1. Install a drain valve at the base of each supply and return riser to facilitate system flushing. 2. Install shut-off / balancing valves and unions at each unit to permit unit removal for servicing. 3. Place strainers at the inlet of each system circulating pump. 4. Select the proper hose length to allow slack between connection points. Hoses may vary in length by +2% to -4% under pressure. 5. Refer to Table 1. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius for the hose selected. Exceeding the minimum bend radius may cause the hose to collapse, which reduces water flow rate. Install an angle adapter to avoid sharp bends in the hose when the radius falls below the required minimum. Insulation is not required on loop water piping except where the piping runs through unheated areas, outside the building or when the loop water temperature is below the minimum expected dew point of the pipe ambient conditions. Insulation is required if loop water temperature drops below the dew point (insulation is required for ground loop applications in most climates). Pipe joint compound is not necessary when Teflon® thread tape is pre-applied to hose assemblies or when flared-end connections are used. If pipe joint compound is preferred, use compound only in small amounts on the external pipe threads of the fitting adapters. Prevent sealant from reaching the flared surfaces of the joint. Note: When antifreeze is used in the loop, insure that it is compatible with the Teflon tape or pipe joint compound that is applied. ⚠ WARNING! ⚠ WARNING! Polyolester Oil, commonly known as POE oil, is a synthetic oil used in many refrigeration systems including those with HFC-410A refrigerant. POE oil, if it ever comes in contact with PVC or CPVC piping, may cause failure of the PVC/CPVC. PVC/CPVC piping should never be used as supply or return water piping with water source heat pump products containing HFC-410A as system failures and property damage may result. ⚠ CAUTION! ⚠ CAUTION! Do not bend or kink supply lines or hoses. Table 1: Metal Hose Minimum Bend Radii Refer to Figure 2 for an illustration of a typical supply/ return hose kit. Adapters secure hose assemblies to the unit and risers. Install hose assemblies properly and check regularly to avoid system failure and reduced service life. Minimum Bend Radii 1/2" [12.7mm] 2-1/2" [6.4cm] 3/4" [19.1mm] 4" [10.2cm] 1" [25.4mm] 5-1/2" [14cm] NOTICE! Do not allow hoses to rest against structural building components. Compressor vibration may be transmitted through the hoses to the structure, causing unnecessary noise complaints. Figure 2: Supply/Return Hose Kit Rib Crimped MPT Maximum allowable torque for brass fittings is 30 ft-lbs [41 N-m]. If a torque wrench is not available, tighten finger-tight plus one quarter turn. Tighten steel fittings as necessary. Optional pressure-rated hose assemblies designed specifically for use with console water source heat pump units are available. Similar hoses can be obtained from alternate suppliers. Supply and return hoses are fitted with swivel-joint fittings at one end to prevent kinking during installation.

Any unit plumbing maintenance work can introduce air into the piping system; therefore air elimination equipment is a major portion of the mechanical room plumbing. In piping systems expected to utilize water temperatures below 50°F [10°C], 1/2” (13 mm) closed cell insulation is required on all piping surfaces to eliminate condensation (extended range units required). Metal to plastic threaded joints should never be used due to their tendency to leak over time. Teflon® tape thread sealant is recommended to minimize internal fouling of the heat exchanger. Do not over tighten connections and route piping so as not to interfere with service or maintenance access. Hose kits are available from the manufacturer in different configurations for connection between the unit and the piping system. Depending upon selection, hose kits may include shut off valves, P/T plugs for performance measurement, high pressure stainless steel braided hose, “Y” type strainer with blow down valve, and/or “J” type swivel connection. Balancing valves and an external low pressure drop solenoid valve for use in variable speed pumping systems may also be included in the hose kit. The piping system should be flushed to remove dirt, piping chips, and other foreign material prior to operation (see “Piping System Cleaning and Flushing Procedures” in this manual). The flow rate is usually set between 2.25 and 3.5 gpm per ton [2.9 and 4.5 l/m per kW] of cooling capacity. the manufacturer recommends 3 gpm per ton [3.9 l/m per kW] for most applications of water loop heat pumps. To insure proper maintenance and servicing, P/T ports are imperative for temperature and flow verification, as well as performance checks. Water loop heat pump (cooling tower/boiler) systems typically utilize a common loop, maintained between 60 90°F [16 - 32°C]. The use of a closed circuit evaporative cooling tower with a secondary heat exchanger between the tower and the water loop is recommended. If an open type cooling tower is used continuously, chemical treatment and filtering will be necessary. Low Water Temperature Cutout Setting - CXM2 Control When antifreeze is selected, the LT1 jumper (JW3) should be clipped to select the low temperature (antifreeze 10.0°F [-12.2°C]) setpoint and avoid nuisance faults (see “Low Water Temperature Cutout Selection” in this manual). NOTE: Low water temperature operation requires extended range equipment.

It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to determine and comply with ALL applicable codes and regulations. ⚠ CAUTION! ⚠ CAUTION! Ground loop applications require extended range equipment and optional refrigerant/water circuit insulation. Pre-Installation - Prior to installation, locate and mark all existing underground utilities, piping, etc. Install loops for new construction before sidewalks, patios, driveways, and other construction has begun. During construction, accurately mark all ground loop piping on the plot plan as an aid in avoiding potential future damage to the installation. Piping Installation - All earth loop piping materials should be limited to polyethylene fusion only for in-ground sections of the loop. Galvanized or steel fittings should not be used at any time due to their tendency to corrode. All plastic to metal threaded fittings should be avoided due to their potential to leak in earth coupled applications. A flanged fitting should be substituted. P/T plugs should be used so that flow can be measured using the pressure drop of the unit heat exchanger. Antifreeze - If any liquid fluid or piping is exposed to unconditioned ambient below 42°F (5.5 C), antifreeze must be added. If the liquid fluid entering the heat pump is 50°F (10°C) or below, calculate the leaving heat pump temperature (shown in submittal on performance data selection notes section). Using the lowest temperature leaving the heat pump, must protect system 15°F (8°C) lower. IE: if temperature leaving the heat pump is 35°F subtract 15°F = 20°F protection required, if Methanol is used the system would require 16% mix by volume. Antifreeze is available in alcohol and glycols, contact local sales office for the best type for your system and area. Following must be considered safety, thermal performance, corrosiveness, local codes, stability, convenience, and cost. All alcohols should be premixed and pumped from a reservoir outside of the building when possible or introduced under the water level to prevent fumes. Calculate the total volume of fluid in the piping system. Then use the percentage by volume shown in table 2 for the amount of antifreeze needed. Antifreeze concentration should be checked from a well mixed sample using a hydrometer to measure specific gravity. Low Water Temperature Cutout Setting - CXM2 Control When antifreeze is selected, the LT1 jumper (JW3) should be clipped to select the low temperature (antifreeze 10.0°F [-12.2°C]) setpoint and avoid nuisance faults (see “Low Water Temperature Cutout Selection” in this manual). NOTE: Low water temperature operation requires extended range equipment. Earth loop temperatures can range between 25 and 110°F [-4 to 43°C]. Flow rates between 2.25 and 3 gpm per ton [2.41 to 3.23 l/m per kW] of cooling capacity is recommended in these applications. Test individual horizontal loop circuits before backfilling. Test vertical U-bends and pond loop assemblies prior to installation. Pressures of at least 100 psi [689 kPa] should be used when testing. Do not exceed the pipe pressure rating. Test entire system when all loops are assembled. Flushing the Earth Loop - Upon completion of system installation and testing, flush the system to remove all foreign objects and purge to remove all air. 13 ENERTECH® WATER-SOURCE HEAT PUMPS Console (ERC) Series R ev. : J u n e 6 , 2 0 2 3 Ground-Water Heat Pump Applications Open Loop - Ground Water Systems - Shut off valves should be included for ease of servicing. Boiler drains or other valves should be “tee’d” into the lines to allow acid flushing of the heat exchanger. Shut off valves should be positioned to allow flow through the coax via the boiler drains without allowing flow into the piping system. P/T plugs should be used so that pressure drop and temperature can be measured. Supply and return water piping materials should be limited to copper, PE, or similar material. PVC or CPVC should never be used as they are incompatible with the POE oils used in HFC-410A products and piping system failure and property damage may result. ⚠ WARNING! ⚠ WARNING! Polyolester Oil, commonly known as POE oil, is a synthetic oil used in many refrigeration systems including those with HFC-410A refrigerant. POE oil, if it ever comes in contact with PVC or CPVC piping, may cause failure of the PVC/CPVC. PVC/CPVC piping should never be used as supply or return water piping with water source heat pump products containing HFC-410A as system failures and property damage may result. Water quantity should be plentiful and of good quality. Consult table 3 for water quality guidelines. The unit can be ordered with either a copper or cupro-nickel water heat exchanger. Consult Table 3 for recommendations. Copper is recommended for closed loop systems and open loop ground water systems that are not high in mineral content or corrosiveness. In conditions anticipating heavy scale formation or in brackish water, a cupro-nickel heat exchanger is recommended. In ground water situations where scaling could be heavy or where biological growth such as iron bacteria will be present, an open loop system is not recommended. Heat exchanger coils may over time lose heat exchange capabilities due to build up of mineral deposits. Heat exchangers must only be serviced by a qualified technician, as acid and special pumping equipment is required. Desuperheater coils can likewise become scaled and possibly plugged. In areas with extremely hard water, the owner should be informed that the heat exchanger may require occasional acid flushing. In some cases, the desuperheater option should not be recommended due to hard water conditions and additional maintenance required. and Langelier Saturation indicies should be calculated. Use the appropriate scaling surface temperature for the application, 150°F [66°C] for direct use (well water/open loop) and DHW (desuperheater); 90°F [32°F] for indirect use. A monitoring plan should be implemented in these probable scaling situations. Other water quality issues such as iron fouling, corrosion prevention and erosion and clogging should be referenced in Table 3. Expansion Tank and Pump - Use a closed, bladder-type expansion tank to minimize mineral formation due to air exposure. The expansion tank should be sized to provide at least one minute continuous run time of the pump using its draw down capacity rating to prevent pump short cycling. Discharge water from the unit is not contaminated in any manner and can be disposed of in various ways, depending on local building codes (e.g. recharge well, storm sewer, drain field, adjacent stream or pond, etc.). Most local codes forbid the use of sanitary sewer for disposal. Consult your local building and zoning department to assure compliance in your area. Water Control Valve - Always maintain water pressure in the heat exchanger by placing the water control valve(s) on the discharge line to prevent mineral precipitation during the off-cycle. Pilot operated slow closing valves are recommended to reduce water hammer. If water hammer persists, a mini-expansion tank can be mounted on the piping to help absorb the excess hammer shock. Insure that the total ‘VA’ draw of the valve can be supplied by the unit transformer. For instance, a slow closing valve can draw up to 35VA. This can overload smaller 40 or 50 VA transformers depending on the other controls in the circuit. A typical pilot operated solenoid valve draws approximately 15VA. Water Quality Requirements - Table 3 should be consulted for water quality requirements. Scaling potential should be assessed using the pH/Calcium hardness method. If the pH <7.5 and the calcium hardness is less than 100 ppm, scaling potential is low. If this method yields numbers out of range of those listed, the Ryznar Stability 14 E n e r t e c h Wa t e r - S o u r c e H e a t P u m p s Console (ERC) Series R ev. : J u n e 6 , 2 0 2 3 Ground-Water Heat Pump Applications, Cont’d. Flow Regulation - Flow regulation can be accomplished by two methods. One method of flow regulation involves simply adjusting the ball valve or water control valve on the discharge line. Measure the pressure drop through the unit heat exchanger, and determine flow rate. Since the pressure is constantly varying, two pressure gauges may be needed. Adjust the valve until the desired flow of 1.5 to 2 gpm per ton [2.0 to 2.6 l/m per kW] is achieved. A second method of flow control requires a flow control device mounted on the outlet of the water control valve. The device is typically a brass fitting with an orifice of rubber or plastic material that is designed to allow a specified flow rate. On occasion, flow control devices may produce velocity noise that can be reduced by applying some back pressure from the ball valve located on the discharge line. Slightly closing the valve will spread the pressure drop over both devices, lessening the velocity noise. Note: When EWT is below 50°F [10°C], 2 gpm per ton (2.6 l/m per kW) is required. Notice! Ground-water applications for commercial buildings with more than 2-3 units should include a plate frame heat-exchanger to isolate the heat pumps from the ground-water and confine heat exchanger cleanings to one location and lessen maintenance. Direct use of ground-water may increase the frequency of heat pump maintenance and may shorten life expectancy. Water Coil Low Temperature Limit Setting - For all open loop systems the 30°F [-1.1°C] LT1 setting (factory settingwater) should be used to avoid freeze damage to the unit. See “Low Water Temperature Cutout Selection” in this manual for details on the low limit setting. 15 ENERTECH® WATER-SOURCE HEAT PUMPS Console (ERC) Series R ev. : J u n e 6 , 2 0 2 3 Water Quality Requirements Table 3: Water Quality Requirements Clean water is essential to the performance and life span of water source heat pumps. Contaminants, chemicals, and minerals all have the potential to cause damage to the water heat exchanger if not treated properly. All closed water loop systems should undergo water quality testing and be maintained to the water quality standards listed in this table.

The Water Quality Table provides water quality requirements for coaxial & brazed plate heat exchangers. 2. The water must be evaluated by an independent testing facility comparing site samples against this Table. When water properties are outside of these parameters, the water must either be treated by a professional water treatment specialist to bring the water quality within the boundaries of this specification, or an external secondary heat exchanger must be used to isolate the heat pump water system from the unsuitable water. Failure to do so will void the warranty of the heat pump system and will limit liability for damage caused by leaks or system failure. 3. Regular sampling, testing and treatment of the water is necessary to assure that the water quality remains within acceptable levels thereby allowing the heat pump to operate at optimum levels. 4. If closed‐loop systems are turned off for extended periods, water samples must be tested prior to operating the system. 5. For optimal performance, it is recommended that the closed‐loop piping systems are initially filled with de‐ ionized water. 6. Well water with chemistry outside of these boundaries, and salt water or brackish water requires an external secondary heat exchanger. Surface/Pond water should not be used. 7. If water temperature is expected to fall below 40°F, antifreeze is required. Refer to the heat pump IOM for the correct solution ratios to prevent freezing. α β χ δ Hydrogen Sulfide has an odor of rotten eggs. If one detects this smell, a test for H2S must be performed. If H2S is detected above the limit indicated, remediation is necessary (Consult with your Water Testing/Treatment Professional) or a secondary heat exchanger is required using appropriate materials as recommended by the heat exchanger supplier. Suspended solids and particulates must be filtered to prevent fouling and failure of heat exchangers. Strainers or particulate filters must be installed to provide a maximum particle size of 600 micron (0.60 mm, 0.023 in.) using a 20 to 30 mesh screen size. When a loop is installed in areas with fine material such as sand or clay, further filtration is required to a maximum of 100 micron. Refer to the Strainer / Filter Sizing Chart to capture the particle sizes encountered on the site. An electrical grounding system using a dedicated ground rod meeting NEC and Local Electrical codes must be installed. Building Ground must not be connected the WSHP piping system or other plumbing pipes. Refer to IOM for instructions on measuring resistance and leakage currents within water loops. Do not use PVC pipe for water loop (compressor POE oil and glycols damage PVC) use of HDPE pipe is recommended.

Measuring Earth Ground Resistance 0.02� Well Casing Building Ground Rod OHM meter Measure the earth ground bond using an Ohm meter between the building's ground rod and the steel well casing. The resistance measured should be zero Ohms. The NEC allows a resistance to ground up to 20 Ohms. Any resistance above zero, indicates a poor earth ground which may be the result of a hot neutral line or that conduc�ve water is present. Both of these may lead to electrolysis and corrosion of the heat pump piping. A check for both should be performed and resolved. Note if the well casing is plas�c, a conduc�ve path can be achieved by inser�ng a #6 AWG bare copper wire into the well water. Remove the temporary conductor when finished. 18 E n e r t e c h Wa t e r - S o u r c e H e a t P u m p s Console (ERC) Series R ev. : J u n e 6 , 2 0 2 3 Water Quality Requirements, Cont’d. Measuring Electrolysis Voltage and Current 300mV Heat Pump Volt Meter Wire Electrode inserted into port for Voltage measurement Pete's Port Water-in Water-out Amp Sensor to VOM for Current HP Piping Measure the electrolysis voltage using a volt meter between the heat pump ground and a #14 AWG solid copper wire electrode inserted into the water using a Pete’s style access port. The HP must be opera�ng and the water stream flowing. The voltage measured should be less than 300mV (0.300 V). If higher than 500mV electrolysis will occure and corrosion will result. If voltage is measured, the cause is a high resistance earth ground or current on the neutral conductor. Remedial measures should be performed. Measure the current flowing through the piping system by using an amp clamp probe on the water-in line. The HP must be opera�ng and the water stream flowing. There should be zero amps measured. If current is present, there is leakage current to the plumbing system and it must be rec�fied to prevent pipe corrosion. 19 ENERTECH® WATER-SOURCE HEAT PUMPS Console (ERC) Series R ev. : J u n e 6 , 2 0 2 3 Electrical – Line Voltage ⚠ WARNING! ⚠ WARNING! To avoid possible injury or death due to electrical shock, open the power supply disconnect switch and secure it in an open position during installation. General Line Voltage Wiring - Be sure the available power is the same voltage and phase shown on the unit serial plate. Line and low voltage wiring must be done in accordance with local codes or the National Electric Code, whichever is applicable. CAUTION! Use only copper conductors for field installed electrical wiring. Unit terminals are not designed to accept other types of conductors. Power Connection - Line voltage connection is made by connecting the incoming line voltage wires to the “L” side of the contactor. Consult Tables 4 through 5 for correct fuse size. ⚠ CAUTION! ⚠ Electrical - Line Voltage - All field installed wiring, including electrical ground, must comply with the National Electrical Code as well as all applicable local codes. Refer to the unit electrical data for fuse sizes. Consult wiring diagram for field connections that must be made by the installing (or electrical) contractor. All final electrical connections must be made with a length of flexible conduit to minimize vibration and sound transmission to the building. 20 Transformer - All commercial dual voltage units are factory wired for 208/60/1 or 240/50/1. If supply voltage is 230/60/1 or 220/50/1, installer must rewire transformer. See wire diagram for connections.

Thermostat Installation - The thermostat should be located on an interior wall in a larger room, away from supply air drafts. DO NOT locate the thermostat in areas subject to sunlight, drafts or on external walls. The wire access hole behind the thermostat may in certain cases need to be sealed to prevent erroneous temperature measurement. Position the thermostat back plate against the wall so that it appears level and so the thermostat wires protrude through the middle of the back plate. Mark the position of the back plate mounting holes and drill holes with a 3/16” (5mm) bit. Install supplied anchors and secure plate to the wall. Thermostat wire must be 18 AWG wire. Wire the appropriate thermostat as shown in Figure 7 to the low voltage terminal strip on the CXM2 or DXM2.5 control board.

Do not install in an area subject to freezing or where humidity levels can cause cabinet condensation. Power Supply - A voltage variation of +/- 10% of nameplate utilization voltage is acceptable. Operation and performance is primarily dependent upon return air temperature, airflow, water temperature, water flow rate and ambient air temperature. This water to air heat pump is capable of operating over a wide temperature range and with flow rates of between 1.5 GPM (.1 l/s) and 3 GPM (.19 l/s) per ton, however usually no more than one of these factors may be at a minimum or maximum level at a time. The commissioning table indicates air and water temperatures which are suitable for initial unit commissioning in an environment where the flow rate and water temperature is not yet stable and to avoid nuisance shut down of the units freeze and refrigerant pressure safeties. The operating table indicates the maximum and minimum ranges of the unit.

Follow the instructions below to properly clean and flush the system: 1. Ensure that electrical power to the unit is disconnected. 2. Install the system with the supply hose connected directly to the return riser valve. Use a single length of flexible hose. 3. Open all air vents. Fill the system with water. DO NOT allow system to overflow. Bleed all air from the system. Pressurize and check the system for leaks and repair as appropriate. 4. Verify that all strainers are in place (the manufacturer recommends a strainer with a #20 stainless steel wire mesh). Start the pumps, and systematically check each vent to ensure that all air is bled from the system. 5. Verify that make-up water is available. Adjust makeup water as required to replace the air which was bled from the system. Check and adjust the water/air level in the expansion tank. 6. Set the boiler to raise the loop temperature to approximately 86°F [30°C]. Open a drain at the lowest point in the system. Adjust the make-up water replacement rate to equal the rate of bleed. 7. Refill the system and add trisodium phosphate in a proportion of approximately one pound per 150 gallons [1/2 kg per 750 l] of water (or other equivalent approved cleaning agent). Reset the boiler to raise the loop temperature to 100°F [38°C]. Circulate the solution for a minimum of 8 to 24 hours. At the end of this period, shut off the circulating pump and drain the solution. Repeat system cleaning if desired. 28 8. When the cleaning process is complete, remove the short-circuited hoses. Reconnect the hoses to the proper supply, and return the connections to each of the units. Refill the system and bleed off all air. 9. Test the system pH with litmus paper. The system water should be in the range of pH 6.0 - 8.5 (see Table 3). Add chemicals, as appropriate to maintain neutral pH levels. 10. When the system is successfully cleaned, flushed, refilled and bled, check the main system panels, safety cutouts and alarms. Set the controls to properly maintain loop temperatures. DO NOT use “Stop Leak” or similar chemical agent in this system. Addition of chemicals of this type to the loop water will foul the heat exchanger and inhibit unit operation. ⚠ CAUTION! ⚠ CAUTION! To avoid possible damage to a plastic (PVC) piping system, do not allow temperatures to exceed 110ºF (43ºC). NOTE: The manufacturer strongly recommends all piping connections, both internal and external to the unit, be pressure tested by an appropriate method prior to any finishing of the interior space or before access to all connections is limited. Test pressure may not exceed the maximum allowable pressure for the unit and all components within the water system. The manufacturer will not be responsible or liable for damages from water leaks due to inadequate or lack of a pressurized leak test, or damages caused by exceeding the maximum pressure rating during installation. E n e r t e c h Wa t e r - S o u r c e H e a t P u m p s Console (ERC) Series R ev. : J u n e 6 , 2 0 2 3 Unit System and Checkout Procedure ⚠ WARNING! ⚠ WARNING! Polyolester Oil, commonly known as POE oil, is a synthetic oil used in many refrigeration systems including those with HFC-410A refrigerant. POE oil, if it ever comes in contact with PVC or CPVC piping, may cause failure of the PVC/CPVC. PVC/CPVC piping should never be used as supply or return water piping with water source heat pump products containing HFC-410A as system failures and property damage may result. BEFORE POWERING SYSTEM, please check the following: UNIT CHECKOUT Balancing/shutoff valves: Insure that all isolation valves are open and water control valves are wired. Line voltage and wiring: Verify that voltage is within an acceptable range for the unit and wiring and fuses/ breakers are properly sized. Verify that low voltage wiring is complete. Unit control transformer: Insure that transformer has the properly selected voltage tap. Commercial 208230V units are factory wired for 208V operation unless specified otherwise. Entering water and air: Insure that entering water and air temperatures are within operating limits of Table 8. Low water temperature cutout: Verify that low water temperature cut-out on the CXM2/DXM2.5 control is properly set. Unit fan: Manually rotate fan to verify free rotation and insure that blower wheel is secured to the motor shaft. Be sure to remove any shipping supports if needed. DO NOT oil motors upon start-up. Fan motors are preoiled at the factory. Check unit fan speed selection and compare to design requirements. Condensate line: Verify that condensate line is open and properly pitched toward drain. Water flow balancing: Record inlet and outlet water temperatures for each heat pump upon startup. This check can eliminate nuisance trip outs and high velocity water flow that could erode heat exchangers. Unit air coil and filters: Insure that filter is clean and accessible. Clean air coil of all manufacturing oils. Unit controls: Verify that CXM2 or DXM2.5 field selection options are properly set. SYSTEM CHECKOUT System water temperature: Check water temperature for proper range and also verify heating and cooling set points for proper operation. System pH: Check and adjust water pH if necessary to maintain a level between 6 and 8.5. Proper pH promotes longevity of hoses and fittings (see Table 3). System flushing: Verify that all hoses are connected end to end when flushing to insure that debris bypasses the unit heat exchanger, water valves and other components. Water used in the system must be potable quality initially and clean of dirt, piping slag, and strong chemical cleaning agents. Verify that all air is purged from the system. Air in the system can cause poor operation or system corrosion. Cooling tower/boiler: Check equipment for proper set points and operation. Standby pumps: Verify that the standby pump is properly installed and in operating condition. System controls: Verify that system controls function and operate in the proper sequence. Low water temperature cutout: Verify that low water temperature cut-out controls are provided for the outdoor portion of the loop. Otherwise, operating problems may occur. System control center: Verify that the control center and alarm panel have appropriate set points and are operating as designed. Miscellaneous: Note any questionable aspects of the installation. ⚠ CAUTION! ⚠ CAUTION! Verify that ALL water control valves are open and allow water flow prior to engaging the compressor. Freezing of the coax or water lines can permanently damage the heat pump. ⚠ CAUTION! ⚠ CAUTION! To avoid equipment damage, DO NOT leave system filled in a building without heat during the winter unless antifreeze is added to the water loop. Heat exchangers never fully drain by themselves and will freeze unless winterized with antifreeze. 29 ENERTECH® WATER-SOURCE HEAT PUMPS Console (ERC) Series R ev. : J u n e 6 , 2 0 2 3 Unit Start-Up Procedure Unit Start-up Procedure 1. Turn the thermostat fan position to “ON”. Blower should start. 2. Balance air flow at registers. 3. Adjust all valves to their full open positions. Turn on the line power to all heat pumps. 4. Room temperature should be within the minimummaximum ranges of Table 8. During start-up checks, loop water temperature entering the heat pump should be between 60°F [16°C] and 95°F [35°C]. 5. Two factors determine the operating limits of Enertech heat pumps, (a) return air temperature, and (b) water temperature. When any one of these factors is at a minimum or maximum level, the other factor must be at normal level to insure proper unit operation. a. Adjust the unit thermostat to the warmest setting. Place the thermostat mode switch in the “COOL” position. Slowly reduce thermostat setting until the compressor activates. b. Check for cool air delivery at the unit grille within a few minutes after the unit has begun to operate. Note: Units have a five minute time delay in the control circuit that can be eliminated on the CXM2/DXM2.5 control board as shown below in Figure 8. See controls description for details. c. Check the elevation and cleanliness of the condensate lines. Dripping may be a sign of a blocked line. Check that the condensate trap is filled to provide a water seal. d. Refer to Table 9. Check the temperature of both entering and leaving water. If temperature is within range, proceed with the test. If temperature is outside of the operating range, check refrigerant pressures. e. Check air temperature drop across the air coil when compressor is operating. Air temperature drop should be between 15°F and 25°F [8°C and 14°C]. f. Turn thermostat to “OFF” position. A hissing noise indicates proper functioning of the reversing valve. 6. Allow five (5) minutes between tests for pressure to equalize before beginning heating test. a. Adjust the thermostat to the lowest setting. Place the thermostat mode switch in the “HEAT” position. b. Slowly raise the thermostat to a higher temperature until the compressor activates. c. Check for warm air delivery within a few minutes after the unit has begun to operate. 30 d. Refer to Table 9. Check the temperature of both entering and leaving water. If temperature is within range, proceed with the test. If temperature is outside of the operating range, check refrigerant pressures. e. Check air temperature rise across the air coil when compressor is operating. Air temperature rise should be between 20°F and 30°F [11°C and 17°C]. f. Check for vibration, noise, and water leaks. 7. If unit fails to operate, perform troubleshooting analysis (see troubleshooting section). If the check described fails to reveal the problem and the unit still does not operate, contact a trained service technician to insure proper diagnosis and repair of the equipment. 8. When testing is complete, set system to maintain desired comfort level. 9. BE CERTAIN TO FILL OUT AND FORWARD ALL WARRANTY REGISTRATION PAPERS TO ENERTECH. Note: If performance during any mode appears abnormal, refer to the CXM2/DXM2.5 section or troubleshooting section of this manual. To obtain maximum performance, the air coil should be cleaned before start-up. A 10% solution of dishwasher detergent and water is recommended. ⚠ WARNING! ⚠ WARNING! When the disconnect switch is closed, high voltage is present in some areas of the electrical panel. Exercise caution when working with energized equipment. ⚠ CAUTION! ⚠ CAUTION! Verify that ALL water control valves are open and allow water flow prior to engaging the compressor. Freezing of the coax or water lines can permanently damage the heat pump.

Consult the well water applications section of this manual for a more detailed water coil material selection. Should periodic coil cleaning be necessary, use standard coil cleaning procedures, which are compatible with the heat exchanger material and copper water lines. Generally, the more water flowing through the unit, the less chance for scaling. Therefore, 1.5 gpm per ton [2.0 l/m per kW] is recommended as a minimum flow. Minimum flow rate for entering water temperatures below 50°F [10°C] is 2.0 gpm per ton [2.6 l/m per kW]. Water Coil Maintenance (All other water loop applications) Generally water coil maintenance is not needed for closed loop systems. However, if the piping is known to have high dirt or debris content, it is best to establish a periodic maintenance schedule with the owner so the water coil can be checked regularly. Dirty installations are typically the result of deterioration of iron or galvanized piping or components in the system. Open cooling towers requiring heavy chemical treatment and mineral buildup through water use can also contribute to higher maintenance. Should periodic coil cleaning be necessary, use standard coil cleaning procedures, which are compatible with both the heat exchanger material and copper water lines. Generally, the more water flowing through the unit, the less chance for scaling. However, flow rates over 3 gpm per ton (3.9 l/m per kW) can produce water (or debris) velocities that can erode the heat exchanger wall and ultimately produce leaks. Filters - Filters must be clean to obtain maximum performance. Filters should be inspected every month under normal operating conditions and be replaced when necessary. Units should never be operated without a filter. Condensate Drain - In areas where airborne bacteria may produce a “slimy” substance in the drain pan, it may be necessary to treat the drain pan chemically with an algaecide approximately every three months to minimize the problem. The condensate pan may also need to be cleaned periodically to insure indoor air quality. The condensate drain can pick up lint and dirt, especially with dirty filters. Inspect the drain twice a year to avoid the possibility of plugging and eventual overflow. Compressor - Conduct annual amperage checks to insure that amp draw is no more than 10% greater than indicated on the serial plate data. Fan Motors - All units have lubricated fan motors. Fan motors should never be lubricated unless obvious, dry operation is suspected. Periodic maintenance oiling is not recommended, as it will result in dirt accumulating in the excess oil and cause eventual motor failure. Conduct annual dry operation check and amperage check to insure amp draw is no more than 10% greater than indicated on serial plate data. Air Coil - The air coil must be cleaned to obtain maximum performance. Check once a year under normal operating conditions and, if dirty, brush or vacuum clean. Care must be taken not to damage the aluminum fins while cleaning. CAUTION: Fin edges are sharp. Cabinet - Do not allow water to stay in contact with the cabinet for long periods of time to prevent corrosion of the cabinet sheet metal. The cabinet can be cleaned using a mild detergent. Refrigerant System - To maintain sealed circuit integrity, do not install service gauges unless unit operation appears abnormal. Reference the operating charts for pressures and temperatures. Verify that air and water flow rates are at proper levels before servicing the refrigerant circuit. Washable, high efficiency, electrostatic filters, when dirty, can exhibit a very high pressure drop for the fan motor and reduce air flow, resulting in poor performance. It is especially important to provide consistent washing of these filters (in the opposite direction of the normal air flow) once per month using a high pressure wash similar to those found at self-serve car washes. 34 E n e r t e c h Wa t e r - S o u r c e H e a t P u m p s Console (ERC) Series R ev. : J u n e 6 , 2 0 2 3 Functional Troubleshooting Fault Htg Clg Possible Cause Solution Check line voltage circuit breaker and disconnect.
