2.1.3 Air Ducts, Filters and Grilles
Rigid Ducting:
a.Use appropriately sized insulated ducting with consideration for noise
transmission through the ducting. See recommendations at
www.temperzone.biz; model search ‘application’.
b.Ensure rigid ducting is self-supported – not by the Indoor unit hangers.
Flexible Ducting:
a.Use correctly sized flexible insulated ducting and install according to the
best practice recommendations at
www.temperzone.biz; model search ‘application’.
b.The optional Supply Air Plenum, has round spigots to assist with the
flexible connection if required.
c.The optional Return Air Plenum, has round spigots for flexible duct
connections.
d.If regular access to the Indoor unit is easy, the optional Filter Box with
filter could be fitted.
e.If the Indoor unit is inaccessible install a return air grille, with filter
incorporated, in the ceiling.
f. Supply air grilles should be selected and installed to avoid draughts and
noise but give good air distribution.
2.2 Outdoor unit – OSA
2.2.1 Positioning.
a. Clearances for optimum airflow and access for servicing are shown in the
Dimension diagram on the supplied Specifications Sheet.
b. Consideration should be given to the piping route to the Indoor unit as
well as power and control cabling.
c. The Outdoor unit noise levels need to be considered in respect to boundary
noise limits. Change the Outdoor unit position if necessary or erect an
acoustic barrier.
d. OSA 171/211/251 models: Avoid installing the unit where the fan blades
face into prevailing winds, and one unit does not blow air toward the inlet of
another unit. A wind deflector is recommended on sites exposed to strong
winds.
e. Units are designed to be sited outdoors. If siting in a plant room or
enclosed space, ensure discharge air is not forced to recirculate back through
the coil/s, reducing performance.
2.2.2 Mounting.
a. For base mounting, fasten the unit to a solid level base using the four
mounting points in the feet.
b. Some commercial rubber pads between the Outdoor unit feet and the base can
minimise transmission of vibration. The optional Anti-vibration Mounts
(060-000-170) can be used to isolate the Outdoor unit from the base structure.
c. An optional Wall Mounting Kit (526-061-007) is available, if required.
2.2.3 Drains
The optional Drain Connection Adaptors, can be used to assist in the drainage of water and condensate from the base of the Outdoor unit if necessary. For a totally drip free installation (eg plant room) mount the unit in a separate drain tray.
REFRIGERATION
3.1 General
All refrigeration pipe brazing, evacuation and charging shall be performed by a technician with a current Refrigerant Handling Licence.
IMPORTANT. Read the additional ‘R32 Refrigerant Handling’ instructions accompanying this product.
Hot Work Permits should be acquired where necessary before work commences.
Follow the Refrigerant Handling Code of Practice guidelines.
3.2 Piping and Brazing
a. The Outdoor unit has shut off valves and uses swaged pipe connections. It
is shipped with a precharge of R32 refrigerant.
b. The Indoor unit is shipped from the factory with pressured nitrogen.
c. Immediately before removing the brazed pipe seals from the Indoor and
Outdoor units, relieve the pressure to atmosphere after first ensuring the
Outdoor unit shut off valves are closed.
d. Refer to supplied Specification Sheet for pipe sizing.
e. Use clean sealed refrigeration grade piping designed for R32.
f. Before brazing any pipe connections, ventilate the pipe concerned with low
pressure nitrogen.
g. Use pipe cutters to avoid swarf.
h. Use long radius bends (2x pipe dia.).
i. Insulate both suction (gas) and liquid lines; seal all insulation
joints.
j. Ensure open pipe ends are sealed until the final connection is made.
k. If the outdoor unit is to be installed above the indoor unit, then the
suction riser should be trapped at the bottom of the vertical rise and then
again at 8 m (maximum) intervals. This is to ensure oil return to the
compressor. The trap should be a ‘swan-neck’ curve in the pipe, with no change
in the pipe size. Refer figure 3.
3.3 Evacuation and Charging
a. Evacuate Indoor Unit and interconnecting pipework to a vacuum pressure of
500 microns and hold for 15 minutes.
b. The OSA Outdoor unit is supplied with R32 refrigerant sufficient for: OSA
171–251:15m line length, OSA 351:10m line length.
c. Calculate additional refrigerant to suit your line length; refer supplied
Specification Sheet.
- Do not exceed the maximum refrigerant charge specified
- Ensure minimum floor area is not breached.
- For line lengths less than the precharge distance stated above, deduct excess refrigerant at the rate specified, or coil excess pipe out of sight.
d. If needed, add refrigerant via the Schraeder connection on the smaller of
the Outdoor unit’s two service valves.
Note: Refrigerant can cause suffocation in high concentrations. Increasing the
refrigerant charge, increases the minimum room size to be served by the
system. Refer Specification Sheet for minimum floor area. Options to reduce
concentration may include: leak detection sensors, forced ventilation, safety
shutoff valves and/or overflow rooms.
e. Record the total amount of refrigerant on the label provided on the
electrical box.
f. Open the service valve at the Outdoor unit to allow refrigerant to flow
throughout the system.
g. For long line lengths, oil (of the correct type) should be added to the
refrigerant system at the rate shown in the Specification Data table.
h. Leak check all brazed and fitted joints.
WARNING.
Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks.

WIRING
4.1 General
Electrical power wiring must be fitted and certified by persons with appropriate qualifications and certification.
A signed electrical ‘Certificate of Compliance’ must be left with the unit for insurance purposes.
DO NOT install wiring in contact with refrigeration piping. See figures 4 & 6 on page 6 for power wiring and control wiring schematics and positioning.
4.2 Power to Outdoor Unit – OSA
All power wiring is to be done to the appropriate electrical standard of the country in which the unit is being installed.
The person installing the wiring is responsible for the correct selection of wiring size and auxiliary components. See the Specification Sheet for supply voltage range, frequency, phase, maximum operating current and RCD type. Wire the outdoor unit directly from the Electrical Distribution Board.
The unit shall have its own dedicated circuit breaker on the Distribution Board.
A lockable Isolator Switch shall be fitted adjacent to but not on the outdoor unit (as per AS/NZS 3000).
4.3 Power to Indoor Unit – ISD
Single phase mains power wiring to the indoor unit shall be taken from the connection on the outdoor unit.
4.4 Control
4.4.1 Indoor – Outdoor
a.The Outdoor unit is fitted with a unit controller (UC8) which communicates
with an Indoor Unit Controller (IUC) in the Indoor unit.
b.Communication wiring between indoor and outdoor unit shall be shielded
twisted pair cable, wire gauge 22 to 26 AWG (optional Temperzone part).
c.Communications wiring shall be connected to the indoor and outdoor units as
per diagram, refer fig.4 page 6.
d.It is recommended that communications cabling not be laid directly adjacent
to any high voltage 230 or 400 VAC power cables for more than 1m. To minimise
signal interference, it is preferable to keep the communication cable at least
300mm away from the mains cable as much as possible and only coming together
through wall penetrations and other narrow passages.
Note: Use the clips provided to keep cables clear of the Gas line and Carel
Power+ driver.
4.4.2 Room Temperature Controller
Various options are available to control the air conditioning unit operation.
a.Temperzone TZT-100 Wall Thermostat. Refer to
www.temperzone.biz for features and installation
details; model search ‘TZT-100’. Separate ‘Installer’ and ‘User’ instructions
are supplied with the TZT-100 for installation and operation.
b.The Temperzone SAT-3 Wall Thermostat with optional Six Zone Control
expansion kit. Refer to www.temperzone.biz for features and installation
details; model search ‘SAT-3’. Separate instruction booklets come with the
SAT-3 for installation and operation.
Temperzone Six Zone Control kit consists of PC board, 24V transformer and
Instructions. This kit transforms the SAT-3 wall thermostat into a fully
functional room Zone controller. This Six Zone Controller enables the SAT-3
Wall Thermostat to control six separate zones through the addition of zone
temperature sensors and duct dampers.
Zone temperature sensors are available separately and can be installed to
enhance the Temperzone Six Zone Board functionality.
c.BMS Control via dry contact and analog inputs: both the Outdoor unit
controller (UC8) and the Indoor unit controller (IUC) offer facilities to
connect a BMS system via a series of no-voltage contacts and 0-10V dc analog
signals.
d.BMS control via Modbus over RS485. For a full list of the Modbus control
setup, settings and read/write parameters. Contact Temperzone for details, or
visit www.temperzone.biz; model search ‘BMS’.
START-UP PROCEDURE
5.1 Refrigerant
a. Check the refrigerant charge size is in accordance with the minimum room
size (refer .Section 3.3).
b. The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not
obstructed.
5.1 Power
a. Check the units are electrically connected in accordance with the wiring
diagrams.
b. Check all wiring connection and terminal tightness.
c. Switch ON the Main distribution board circuit breaker and the local
isolator.
d. Ensure the thermostat is OFF. Leave the unit off for 4 hours to drive the
refrigerant out of the compressor. Failure to do so may cause liquid slugging
and could damage the compressor at start-up.
e. Check the supply voltage.
5.2 Indoor Fan
5.2.1 The Indoor fans can be switched ON through the thermostat or BMS by selecting High, Medium or Low fan speed. This can be done without starting the compressor.
5.2.2 Check the operation of the indoor fan for noise and vibration.
5.2.3 Check if the High speed airflow is to specification. Beware, in tropical (high humidity) conditions care must be taken to select an air flow which does not create water carry-over problems.
5.2.4 Check if the Low speed is sufficiently low yet without risk of frost on the indoor coil.
5.2.5 Refer Indoor unit wiring diagram for the factory default setting of the maximum fan speed and the fan speed range High – Low.
5.2.6 Various options are available if either High speed or Low speed need adjusting:
A. If a SAT-3 wall thermostat is fitted:- Set DIP switch 5 on the UC8 to ON,
then reset the controller by cycling mains power to the unit off and on again.
The maximum and minimum fan speed can be adjusted through the SAT-3 key-pad.
Refer to the Installation instructions supplied with the SAT-3.
B. To use the Indoor unit control board (IUC) in the Indoor Unit to adjust the indoor fan speed :- The IUC has two sets of DIP switches:
i. DS1: 8 switches,
ii. DS2: 4 switches (do not adjust)
On DS1 switches 1, 2 and 3 are used to select the fan ‘High’ speed setting.
Switches 4 and 5 are used to select the difference (or ‘range’) between the
‘High’ and ‘the Low’ speed settings.
Refer to Indoor unit wiring diagram. The shaded cells indicate the factory
default settings.
If a change is made to the DIP switch settings the new selection comes into
effect after cycling power to the unit off and on again.
Example: The factory default settings (shaded cells) are 8V for fan High speed
and 3V for the range. This provides 8 – 3 = 5V for fan low speed.
Note: Minimum output voltage for low speed is 2.3V in order to ensure the fan
will always start.
C. To use the UC8 in the Outdoor unit to adjust the indoor fan speed (applies only when the SAT-3 thermostat is NOT used):-
i. Set DIP switch 5 on the UC8 to ON, then reset the controller by cycling
mains power to the unit off and on again.
ii. Ensure the compressor is off and the thermostat or BMS does not request
for the compressor to start.
iii. Press and hold down the SW3 push button on the UC8 circuit board until
the display shows the letter ‘H’, then release the push button.
iv. The indoor fan will start and run at the ‘High’ speed setting (factory
default setting is 8.0V). The display will show the value (‘8.0’) and the
indoor fan will run at the selected speed.
v. Each following press on the SW3 push button increases the indoor fan
control voltage in steps of 0.5V, up to a maximum of 10.0V. Pressing the push
button again when value 10.0 is shown returns the fan control voltage down to
the minimum value for ‘High’ fan speed (3.0V).
vi. When the desired setting for high fan speed is selected then wait for 30
seconds. The controller will save the selected value in its memory and return
to normal operation.
vii. To adjust the indoor fan ‘Low’ speed repeat the above procedure but wait
until the display shows the letter ‘L’ before releasing the push button. The
factory default value for low speed is 5.0V.
5.3 Starting the Compressor
a. On the UC8 in the Outdoor unit, press and hold the SW3 push button until
the display shows: ‘0’ [release] → ‘1’ [long press] → repeat [short press] to
find ‘c’ → [long press] to select.
This Commissioning mode ‘c’ reduces the waiting times at start-up and between
cycles.
b. The unit is equipped with high and low pressure transducers (these connect
to inputs HPT and LPT on the UC8 circuit board), therefore refrigerant
pressures, temperatures and superheat can be read from the UC8 display (or
using optional WiFi Service Utility).
c. Set the thermostat to cooling and wait until the compressor starts.
d. For 3 phase systems only:
Check for correct rotation of the compressor. If rotation is incorrect the
compressor will not pump, be noisy and will draw low current. To correct motor
rotation, swap two phases at the mains power terminals.
e. Use a clip-on current meter to record compressor and indoor unit amps
during stable operation.
f. Check the readings against the specified values on Specification Sheet and
record these values on the Commissioning Check List on page 7.
g. Use the SW3 push button on the UC8 to cycle through the pressures and
temperatures of the system; refer display message list on the Commissioning
Check List or UC8 unit label.
h. Record the Cooling cycle pressures, temperatures and superheat on the
Commissioning Check List.
i. For reverse cycle systems:
Switch the thermostat to Heating Cycle. The reversing valve should engage
with a click and the compressor start.
i. Let the system stabilise. Note: During commissioning the time between
cycles is considerably reduced; if the indoor coil still holds moisture this
may evaporate and temporary ‘steam’ may enter the room. This is not a fault
but a result of commissioning mode.
ii. Use the SW3 push button on the UC8 to cycle through the pressures and
temperatures of the system
iii. Record the Heating cycle pressures, temperatures and superheat on the
Commissioning Check List.
j. If superheat on either cycle is too high at normal operating ambient
conditions (and the Electronic Expansion Valve [EEV] is fully open), check
that the refrigerant charge in the unit is correct taking into account the
pipe line length between Indoor and Outdoor unit.
k. Add refrigerant if necessary.
5.4 General Checks
a. Check that the air flow over the Outdoor unit’s coil is not restricted and
that the fan is running smoothly.
b. Check Indoor unit’s condensate drain and safety drain tray for free
drainage by:
i. first ensuring all access panels are on,
ii. running the unit at its maximum design fan speed, and
iii. pouring some water into each tray
c. Check the supply air flow at each outlet.
d. Check the operation of the thermostat or BMS.
e. Touch up any outdoor unit paintwork damage to prevent corrosion.
f. Ensure all penetrations through the building from outside are weather
tight.
g. Refrigerant leak check prior to leaving the site.
h. Leave all relevant documentation of the unit with the unit

b. Check air supply at all diffusers.
c. Check for excessive noise and vibration and correct as necessary.
d. Check for insulation and duct damage and repair as necessary.
e. Check and remove as necessary any lint and dust accumulation from outdoor
coil fins. In corrosive environments, the checking and cleaning frequency
should be increased.
f. Touch up any outdoor unit paintwork damage to prevent corrosion.
TROUBLESHOOTING
7.1 Room temperature varies significantly from its setting
- Unit may have been incorrectly sized for the building.
- Drafts from wrongly placed supply air diffusers or from the back of the wall plaque could be affecting the temperature sensor built into the wall plaque.
- Bad air circulation in the room can cause incorrect temperature readings.
- If using a BMS, check it has been correctly wired to control the compressor capacity (Fig. 5).
7.2 Air conditioner does not seem to deliver the heating when most needed
- Heating capacity at design conditions may be incorrect. As the outside temperature falls, heat losses through the walls, floor and ceiling increase.
- Check the unit’s brochure for information on the minimum/ maximum operating temperatures.
7.3 When heating, units have de-icing cycles built in to remove ice on the outdoor coil.
This usually means reversing the cycle for a few minutes during which time there is no heating and in fact a little cooling can occur. Do not use any potential ignition source to accelerate the defrosting process.
7.4 In a new building, why does it take some days before the air conditioning heat hump unit seems to work properly
- Many new buildings, especially a commercial buildings, have a large amount of concrete and other structural materials that are generally cold and full of moisture. This is most evident in the winter when trying to heat the building from scratch.
- Units need some nursing through this period and should not be left to their own devices.
7.5 Indoor unit is spitting or leaking water
- Poor drain trapping (most likely cause).
- Check the drain trap/vent/slope before moving on to other possible issues.
- Water carry-over : Reduce the maximum fan speed to the factory default setting.
7.6 Air conditioner runs excessively – the temperature remains too hot in summer or too cold in winter.
- Windows or doors may be opened to nonconditioned areas.
- Keep doors to unconditioned areas (eg laundries, bathrooms etc.) closed. Note that any doorways on the return air path will need to be kept open, which may mean for example that doors to an unconditioned hallway will need to be kept open.
- Leaves, papers or other items blocking air flow over the outdoor unit coil. Clear all debris away from the outdoor unit.
- Location of wall controller or remote temperature sensor is wrong.
- Check for leaks in supply or return air ductwork.
7.7 Outdoor unit displays an error code:
Refer to UC8 Controller label on the unit for operation & fault diagnostics information; or visit www.temperzone.biz and model search ‘UC8’.
If replacing UC8 Controller, please contact Temperzone Technical Support to set-up correct compressor selection prior to starting the unit.
WARRANTY
Please refer to the separate warranty document supplied with the unit, or visit www.temperzone.biz for details.
