Introduction

These R-410A Fan Coils designed for installation flexibility. The units leave the factory compliant with low leak requirements of less than 2%cabinet leakage rate at 0.5 inches W.C. and 1.4% cabinet leakage rate at 0.5 inches W.C. when tested in accordance with ASHRAE 193 standard. All these fan coils use a multi-tap ECM motor for efficiency. The units have be designed for upflow, downflow (kit required), and horizontal orientations, including manufactured and mobile home applications. These units require a field supplied air filter, and are designed specifically for R-410A refrigerant air conditioners and heat pumps as shipped. These units are available for systems of 18,000 through 60,000 BTUh nominal cooling capacity. Factory- authorized, field – installed electric heater packages are available in sizes 5 through 30kW. See Product Data literature for all available accessory kits.

Heater Packages

NOTE: Some heater sizes may require the removal of two screws which connect the blower housing to the fan deck (removal will not impact performance). See (Care and Maintenance on p11) and Fig. 22. This unit may or may not be equipped with an electric heater package. For units not equipped with factory-installed heat, a factory-approved, field-installed, UL listed heater package is available from your equipment supplier. See unit rating plate for a list of factory-approved heaters. Heaters that are not factory approved could cause damage which would not be covered under the equipment warranty. If fan coil contains a factory-installed heater package, minimum circuit ampacity (MCA) and maximum fuse/breaker may be different than units with a same size field-installed accessory heater. The differences is not an error and is due to calculation difference per UL guidelines.

Check Equipment

Unpack unit and move to final location. Remove carton taking care not to damage unit.
NOTE: Shipping block(s) that support the blower housing during transit will need to be removed (Fig. 1).
NOTE: If the door gasket is damaged or missing, the unit may not meet the ASHRAE 193 standard for cabinet air leakage. See the Product Data for this model or contact your supplier to order the gasket kit. Inspect equipment for damage prior to installation. File claim with shipping company if shipment is damaged or incomplete. Locate unit rating plate which contains proper installation information. Check rating plate to be sure unit matches job specifications.

NOTE:

Mount Unit
Unit can stand or lie on floor, or hang from ceiling or wall. Allow space for wiring, piping, and servicing unit.
IMPORTANT: When unit is installed over a finished ceiling and/or living area, building codes may require a field-supplied secondary condensate pan to be installed under the entire unit. Some localities may allow as an alternative, the running of a separate, secondary condensate line. Consult local codes for additional restrictions or precautions. Nuisance sweating may occur if the unit is installed in a high humidity environment with low airflow.

Upflow Installation
If return air is to be ducted through a floor, set unit on floor over opening and use 1/8″ to ¼” (3 to 6 mm) thick fireproof resilient gasket between duct, unit, and floor. Side return is a field option on slope coil models. Cut opening per dimensions (Fig. 2). A field-supplied bottom closure is required.

Downflow Installation
In this application, field conversion of the evaporator is required using accessory downflow kit along with an accessory base kit. Use fireproof resilient gasket, 1/8″ to ¼” (3 to 6 mm) thick, between duct, unit, and floor.

PRODUCT OR PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning caution may result in product or property damage. The conversion of the fan coil to downflow requires special procedures for the condensate drains on both A-coil and Slope-coil units. The vertical drains have an overflow hole between the primary and secondary drain holes. This hole is plugged for all applications except downflow, and must be used for downflow. During conversion process, remove plastic cap covering vertical drains only and discard. Remove plug from overflow hole and discard. At completion of downflow installation, caulk around vertical pan fitting to door joint to retain low air leak performance of the unit.

NOTE: To convert units for downflow applications, refer to Installation Instructions supplied with kit for proper installation. See the Product Data or contact your supplier for the kit number. Use fireproof resilient gasket, 1/8″ to ¼” (3 to 6 mm) thick, between duct, unit, and floor.
NOTE: A gasket kit is also required for all downflow applications to maintain low air leak/low sweat performance. See the Product Data or contact your supplier for the kit number.

Horizontal Installation
Units must not be installed with access panels facing up or down. All other units are factory built for horizontal left installation (Fig. 3 and Fig. 4). When suspending unit from ceiling, dimples in casing indicate suitable location of screws for mounting metal support straps (Fig. 3). For horizontal applications having high return static and humid return air, the Water Management Kit may need to be used to assist in water management. See the Product Data or contact your supplier for the kit number.

NOTE: Modular units can be disassembled and components moved separately to installation area for reassembly. This process accommodates small scuttle holes and limiting entrances to installation sites (Fig. 7).

PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in product or property damage. For optimum condensate drainage performance in horizontal installations, unit should be leveled along its length and width.

Manufactured and Mobile Home Housing Applications

1. Secure the fan coil to the structure using field-supplied hardware.
2. Allow a minimum of 24″ (610 mm) clearance from access panels.
3. Recommended method of securing for typical applications:
4. If fan coil is away from wall, attach pipe strap to top of fan coil using no. 10 self-tapping screws. Angle strap down and away from back of fan coil, remove all slack, and fasten to wall stud of structure using 5/16″ lag screws. Typical both sides of fan coil.
5. If fan coil is against wall, secure fan coil to wall stud using 1/8″ (3 mm) thick right-angle brackets. Attach brackets to fan coil using no. 10 self-tapping screws and to wall stud using 5/16″ lag screws (Fig. 9).

Air Ducts

Connect supply-air duct over the outside of ¾” (19 mm) flanges provided on supply-air opening. Secure duct to flange, using proper fasteners for type of duct used, and seal duct-to-unit joint. If return-air flanges are required, install factory-authorized accessory kit.
Use flexible connectors between ductwork and unit to prevent transmission of vibration. When electric heater is installed, use heat-resistant material for flexible connector between ductwork and unit at discharge connection. Ductwork passing through unconditioned space must be insulated and covered with vapor barrier. Units equipped with 20-30kW electric heaters require a 1″ (25 mm) clearance to combustible materials for the first 36″ (914 mm) of supply duct. All 18,000 BTU units equipped with 8 or 10 kW electric heaters require a 1″ (25.4 mm) clearance to combustible materials for the first 12″ of supply duct.

Ductwork Acoustical Treatment

Metal duct systems that do not have a 90 degree elbow and 10 feet of main duct before first branch takeoff may require internal acoustical insulation lining. As an alternative, fibrous ductwork may be used if constructed and installed in accordance with the latest edition of SMACNA construction standard on fibrous glass ducts. Both acoustical lining and fibrous ductwork shall comply with National Fire Protection Association as tested by UL Standard 181 for Class 1 air ducts.

Electrical Connections

Units from the factory protect the low voltage circuit with a 3A automotive type fuse in-line on the wire harness and Does Not contain a circuit board. Motor speeds and time delay function are built into the motor. See (Minimum CFM and Motor Speed Selection on p7) for clarification. When a factory- approved accessory control package has been installed, check all factory wiring per unit wiring diagram and inspect factory wiring connections to be sure none were loosened during transit or installation. If a different control package is required, see unit rating plate. Before proceeding with electrical connections, make certain that supply voltage, frequency, phase, and ampacity are as specified on the unit rating plate. See unit wiring label for proper field high- and low-voltage wiring. Make all electrical connections in accordance with the NEC and any local codes or ordinances that may apply. Use copper wire only. The unit must have a separate branch electric circuit with a field-supplied disconnect switch located within sight from, and readily accessible from, the unit. On units with a factory-installed disconnect with pull-out removed, service and maintenance can be safely performed on only the load side of the control package.

PERSONAL OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD.
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death, and/or unit damage. Provide training to installation personnel to follow national and local electrical codes.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death, and/or unit damage. If a disconnect switch is to be mounted on unit, select a location where drill and fasteners will not contact electrical or refrigeration components.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death. Field wires on the line side of the disconnect found in the fan coil unit remain live, even when the pull-out is removed. Service and maintenance to incoming wiring cannot be performed until the main disconnect switch (remote to the unit) is turned off.

Line Voltage Connections

If unit contains an accessory electric heater, remove and discard power plug from fan coil and connect male plug from heater to female plug from unit wiring harness. (See Electric Heater Installation Instructions.) For units without electric heat:

1. Connect 208/230V power leads from field disconnect to yellow and black stripped leads.
2. Connect ground wire to unit ground lug.

NOTE: Units installed without electric heat should have a field-supplied sheet metal block-off plate covering the heater opening. This will reduce air leakage and formation of exterior condensation.

24V Control System

Connection To Unit

Wire low voltage in accordance with wiring label on the blower (Fig. 10 thru Fig. 13). Use #18 AWG color-coded, insulated (35° C minimum) wire to make the low-voltage connections between the thermostat, the unit, and the outdoor equipment. If the thermostat is located more than 100′ (30 m) from the unit (as measured along the low-voltage wire), use #16 AWG color-coded, insulated (35° C minimum) wire. All wiring must be NEC Class 1 and must be separated from incoming power leads. Refer to outdoor unit wiring instructions for any additional wiring procedure recommendations.

Transformer Information

The transformer is factory wired for 230V operation. For 208V applications, disconnect the black wire from the 230V terminal on transformer and connect it to the 208V terminal (Fig. 14).

Heater Staging

If electric heat staging is required, a multi-stage heating room thermostat is required. Consult your equipment supplier for a suitable thermostat.

Manufactured Housing

In manufactured housing applications, the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 24, Chapter XX, Part 3280.714 requires that supplemental electric heat be locked out at outdoor temperatures above 40° F (4° C), except for a heat pump defrost cycle. See Fig. 13 for typical low voltage wiring with outdoor thermostat.

Ground Connections

NOTE: Use UL listed conduit and conduit connectors for connecting supply wire(s) to unit to obtain proper grounding. Grounding may also be accomplished by using grounding lugs provided in control box.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to establish uninterrupted or unbroken ground could result in personal injury and/or death. According to NEC, NFPA 70, and local codes, the cabinet must have an uninterrupted or unbroken ground to minimize personal injury if an electrical fault should occur. The ground may consist of electrical wire or metal conduit when installed in accordance with existing electrical codes. If conduit connection uses reducing washers, a separate ground wire must be used.

Minimum CFM and Motor Speed Selection
The fan speed selection is done at the motor connector. Units with or without electric heaters require a minimum CFM. Refer to the unit wiring label to ensure that the fan speed selected is not lower than the minimum fan speed indicated.

• electric heat airflow is same CFM as Tap 3, except 0 sec off delay
• high static applications, see airflow tables for max airflow

To change motor speeds disconnect the BLUE fan lead from motor connector terminal #2 (factory default position) and move to desired speed-tap; 1, 2, 3, or 5.
Speed-taps 1, 2, and 3 have a 90 second blower off time delay pre-programmed into the motor. Speed-tap 4 is used for electric heat only (with 0 second blower time delay) and the WHITE wire should remain on tap 4. Speed-tap 5 is used for high static applications, but has a 0 second blower time delay pre- programmed into the motor. See Airflow Performance tables for actual CFM. Se Fig. 15 for motor speed selection location.

NOTE: In low static applications, lower motor speed tap should be used to reduce possibility of water being blown off coil.

Refrigerant Tubing Connection and Evacuation

Use accessory tubing package or field-supplied tubing of refrigerant grade. Suction tube must be insulated. Do not use damaged, dirty, or contaminated tubing because it may plug refrigerant flow-control device. ALWAYS evacuate the coil and field-supplied tubing to 500 microns before opening outdoor unit service valves.

PRODUCT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in product or property damage. A brazing shield MUST be used when tubing sets are being brazed to the unit connections to prevent damage to the unit surface and condensate pan fitting caps.

Units have sweat suction and liquid tube connections. Make suction tube connection first.

1. Cut tubing to correct length.
2. Insert tube into sweat connection on unit until it bottoms.
3. Braze connection using silver bearing or non-silver bearing brazing materials. Do not use solder (materials which melt below 800° F / 427° C). Consult local code requirements.
4. Evacuate coil and tubing system to 500 microns using a deep vacuum method.

PRODUCT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in product or property damage. Wrap a wet cloth around rear of fitting to prevent damage to TXV and factory-made joints.

Refrigerant Flow-Control Device
The 018-060 size units come equipped with a R-410A refrigerant mechanical TXV. When tightening nuts on a TXV, do not exceed 20 ft-lbs. Always use outdoor units designed to match indoor fan coil applications.

PRODUCT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in improper product operation. If using a TXV in conjunction with a single-phase reciprocating compressor, a compressor start capacitor and relay are required. Consult outdoor unit pre- sale literature for start assist kit part number.

Disassembly

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury. Remove refrigerant charge from system and ensure there is no pressure before servicing the TXV.

NOTE: For Item #1 (Fig. 16): Use an adjustable wrench with a backup adjustable wrench to loosen the brass nut (TXV outlet). Then use both wrenches to loosen Item # 2 (TXV inlet).

1. Use an adjustable wrench with a backup adjustable wrench to loosen Item # 3 (TXV equalizer line).
2. For Item #4 – Cut the wire tie and remove the black insulation. Remove the band from around the TXV bulb.
3. Cut the wire tie that holds the TXV equalizer line and bulb from the aluminum vapor header tube.
4. Remove 2 screws from the TXV bracket. Remove the TXV from the coil unit.

Assembly

1. Mount the TXV bracket and TXV with the 2 screws removed during disassembly.

2. Connect Items #1 and #2 (TXV outlet and inlet respectively) and use an adjustable wrench with a backup wrench to tighten each nut. Tighten to between 10 and 20 ft-lbs.

3. Connect Item #3 and use an adjustable wrench with a backup adjustable wrench to tighten the flare nut. Tighten to approximately 12 ft-lbs.

4. Item # 4 – Reconnect the TXV bulb with a clamp and reinstall insulation around the TXV bulb and vapor tube.
   UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
   Failure to follow this Caution may result in unit damage. Failure to place insulation between copper tubes and aluminum parts will lead to galvanic corrosion, which will result in a refrigerant leak in the future.

5. Use a wire tie to mount the 1/8″ TXV equalizer and bulb tubes to the vapor header tube. Make sure that there is insulation between the aluminum vapor tube and copper tube.

6. Leak test the TXV fittings, then evacuate and charge the system to the required subcooling per the outdoor unit rating plate.

Condensate Drains

To connect drains, the cap openings must be removed. Use a knife to start the opening near the tab and using pliers, pull the tab to remove the disk. Clean the edge of the opening if necessary and install the condensate line. Finally caulk around the lines where they exit the fitting to retain the low leak rating of the unit. Units are equipped with primary and secondary ¾” FPT drain connections. For proper condensate line installations see Fig. 2 thru Fig. 6. To prevent property damage and achieve optimum drainage performance, BOTH primary and secondary drain lines should be installed and include properly- sized condensate traps (Fig. 17 and Fig. 19). Factory-approved condensate traps are available. It is recommended that PVC fittings be used on the plastic condensate pan. Finger-tighten plus 1-1/2 turns. Do not over-tighten. Use pipe dope.

NOTE: Do not use CPVC in field drain lines due to potential reaction with POE oil.

NOTE: When connecting condensate drain lines, avoid blocking filter access panel, thus preventing filter removal. After connection, prime both primary and secondary condensate traps.

PRODUCT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in product or property damage. Use only full size P-traps in the condensate line (Fig. 17). Shallow running traps are inadequate and DO NOT allow proper condensate drainage (Fig. 18).

UNIT OR PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning caution may result in product or property damage. The conversion of the fan coil to downflow requires special procedures for the condensate drains on both A-coil and Slope-coil units. The vertical drains have an overflow hole between the primary and secondary drain holes. This hole is plugged for all applications except downflow, and must be used for downflow. During conversion process, remove plastic cap covering vertical drains only and discard. Remove plug from overflow hole and discard. At completion of downflow installation, caulk around vertical pan fitting to door joint to retain low air leak performance of the unit.

NOTE: If unit is located in or above a living space where damage may result from condensate overflow, a field-supplied, external condensate pan should be installed underneath the entire unit, and a secondary condensate line (with appropriate trap) should be run from the unit into the pan. Any condensate in this external condensate pan should be drained to a noticeable place. As an alternative to using an external condensate pan, some localities may allow the use of a separate ¾” (19 mm) condensate line (with appropriate trap) to a place where the condensate will be noticeable. The owner of the structure must be informed that when condensate flows from the secondary drain or external condensate pan, the unit requires servicing or water damage will occur. FJ4: Installation Instructions
Install traps in the condensate lines as close to the coil as possible.(Fig. 19). Make sure that the outlet of each trap is below its connection to the condensate pan to prevent condensate from overflowing the drain pan. Prime all traps, test for leaks, and insulate traps if located above a living area. Condensate drain lines should be pitched downward at a minimum slope of 1″ (25 mm) for every 10′ (3 m) of length. Consult local codes for additional restrictions or precautions.
