Select a solid and level site, keep enough space for proper installation and
maintenance.
Adjust motor speed tap on indoor main control board (MCB) to select correct
air flow according to blower performance table.
Applications
3.1 Vertical up-flow and Horizontal right-flow
Vertical up-flow and horizontal right-flow configurations are the factory
settings on all models.
If return air is to be ducted, install duct flush with floor. Use fireproof
resilient gasket 1/8’’ to 1/4’’ thick between the ducts, unit and floor. Set
unit on floor over opening.
IMPORTANT
Lightly tighten the drain connections so they do not leak.
Using excessive force may cause damage to the drain connections. Torque
applied to drain connections should not exceed 10.ft.lbs. 3.1.1 Installation of drainpipe
- When the air handler is installed vertically, please block the upper drainage hole with a cover. The lower right of the drainage hole is connected with the drainage pipe, and the lower left of the drainage hole is connected with the overflow pipe that should be exposed to the air; lf the pipe ① is draining, which means the pipe ② is blocked. Contact maintenance personnel as soon as possible.
- When installing the air handler lying down, the upper drainage hole is covered the lower left of the drainage hole is connected with the drainage pipe, the lower right of the drainage hole is connected with the overflow pipe that should be exposed to the air. lf the pipe ① is draining, which means the pipe ② is blocked. Contact maintenance personnel as soon as possible.
3.2 Installation of drain pipe
Keep the coil connections sealed until refrigerant connections are made.
Refer to condensing unit installation instructions for details on pipe size
and insulation.
-
Coil is shipped with nitrogen. Evacuate the system before charging with refrigerant.
-
Make sure the refrigerant pipes layout do not block service access.
-
Purge the refrigerant pipes and indoor coil with dry nitrogen while brazing.
-
Use a wet rag or an approved heat paste to protect the TXV sensing bulb during the brazing process.
Condensate Drain Connection -
Use a thin layer of Teflon paste, silicone or Teflon tape when making drain fitting connections.
-
Do not over tighten fittings resulting in splitting pipe connections on the drain pan.
-
Make sure the drain pipes layout do not block service access. Minimum clearance of 25’’ is required for filter, coil or blower removal and service access.
-
Ensure the unit is level or pitched slightly toward primary drain connection so that water will drain smoothly from the pan. All horizontal drain pipes must be pitched downward away from the unit a minimum of 1/8” per foot of line to ensure proper drainage.
-
Do not reduce drain pipe size less than connection size provided on condensate drain pan.
-
Do not connect condensate drain pipe to a closed or open sewer pipe.
-
The drain pipe should be insulated where necessary to prevent sweating and damage due to condensate forming on the outside surface of the line.
-
Make provisions for disconnecting and cleaning of the primary drain pipe if it become necessary. Install a 3 inch trap in the primary drain pipe as close as possible to the unit. Make sure that the top of the trap is below connection to the drain pan to allow complete drainage of pan.
-
Auxiliary drain pipe should be connected to a place where it will be noticeable. Homeowner should be warned that a problem exists if water begins running from the auxiliary drain pipe.
-
Test condensate drain pan and drain pipe after installation is complete. Pour enough water into drain pan, make sure that the drain pan is draining completely, no leaks are found in drain pipe fittings, and no water is draining from the termination of the primary drain pipe.
Horizontal left-flow
- Horizontal left-flow is another default factory configuration for the units. These units may be converted to horizontal left-flow by removing indoor coil assembly with drain pan and reinstalling it as shown below.
- Rotate the unit 90° into the horizontal left position, with the coil compartment on the right and the blower compartment on the left.
- Reinstall the indoor coil 180° from original position. Ensure the retaining channel is fully engaged with the coil rail(Figure 3-4 and 3-5).
- Aftermarket drain pan kits are required when the unit is configured for the horizontal position over a finished ceiling and living space.
CAUTION
Horizontal units must be configured for right hand air supply or left hand air
supply.
Horizontal drain pan must be located under indoor coil. Failure to use the
drain pan can result in property damage.
3.4 Installation in an unconditioned space
There are two pairs of coil rails in the air handler for default and counter
flow application. If the air handler is installed in an unconditioned space,
the two unused coil rails should be removed to minimize air handler surface
sweating. The coil rails can be easily removed by taking off the 6 mounting
screws from both sides of the cabinet.
Electrical Wiring
Field wiring must comply with the National Electric Code (C.E.C. in Canada)
and any applicable local ordinance.
WARNING
Disconnect all power to unit before installing or servicing. More than one
disconnect switch may be required to de-energize the equipment. Hazardous
voltage can cause severe personal injury or death.
4.1 Power Wiring
It is important that proper electrical power is available for connection to
the unit model being installed.
Refer to the unit nameplate, wiring diagram and electrical data in the
installation instructions.
- If required, install a branch circuit disconnect of adequate size, located within sight of, and readily accessible to the unit.
- When the electric heat is installed, units may be equipped with one or two 30~60 amp circuit breakers. These breakers protect the internal wiring in the event of a short circuit and serve as a disconnect. Circuit breakers installed within the unit do not provide over-current protection of the supply wiring and therefore may be sized larger than the branch circuit protection.
- Supply circuit power wiring must be 167 ℉ minimum copper conductors only. Refer to electrical data in this section for ampacity, wire size and circuit protector requirements. Supply circuit protective devices may be either fuses or “HACR” type circuit breakers.
4.2 Control Wiring
Class 2 low voltage control wiring should not be run in conduit with main
power wiring and must be separated from power wiring, unless class 1 wire of
proper voltage rating is used.
- Low voltage control wiring should be color-coded 18 AWG. For lengths longer than 100 ft, 16 AWG wire shall be used.
- Refer to wiring diagrams attached to indoor and outdoor sections to be connected.
- Make sure separation of control wiring and power wiring has been maintained.

Shaded boxes represent airflow outside the required 300-450cfm/ton at full
load.
NOTES: Airflow based upon cooling performance at 230V with no electric
heat and no filter. Airflow at 208V is approximately the same as 230V because
the multi-tap ECM motor is a constant torque motor.
The torque doesn’t drop off at the speeds in which the motor operates.
The air distribution system has the greatest effect on airflow. For this
reason, the contractor should use only industry-recognized procedures to
finish ductwork.
Heat pump systems require a specified airflow. Each ton of cooling requires
between 300 and 450 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Duct design and construction
should be carefully done. System performance can be lowered dramatically
through bad planning or workmanship. Air supply diffusers must be selected and
located carefully. They must be sized and positioned to deliver treated air
along the perimeter of the space. Return air grilles must be properly sized to
carry air back to the blower as well. Failure to follow these may cause
abnormal noise and drafts.
The installers should balance the air distribution system to ensure proper
quiet airflow to all rooms in the home. This ensures a comfortable living
space. An air velocity meter or airflow hood can give a reading of system CFM.
Ductwork
Field ductwork must comply with the National Fire Protection Association NFPA
90A, NFPA 90B and any applicable local ordinance.
WARNING
Do not, under any circumstances, connect return ductwork to any other heat
producing device such as fireplace insert, stove, etc. Unauthorized use of
such devices may result in fire, carbon monoxide poisoning, explosion,
personal injury or property damage. Sheet metal ductwork run in unconditioned
spaces must be insulated and covered with a vapor barrier. Fibrous ductwork
may be used if constructed and installed in accordance with SMACNA
Construction Standard on Fibrous Glass Ducts. Ductwork must comply with
National Fire Protection Association as tested by U/L Standard 181 for Class I
Air Ducts. Check local codes for requirements on ductwork and insulation.
- Duct system must be designed within the range of external static pressure the unit is designed to operate against. It is important that the system airflow be adequate. Make sure supply and return ductwork, grilles, special filters, accessories, etc. are accounted for in total flow resistance. Refer to the airflow performance table in this manual.
- Design the duct system in accordance with “ACCA” Manual “D” Design for Residential Winter and Summer Air Conditioning and Equipment Selection. Latest editions are available from: “ACCA” Air Conditioning Contractors of America, 1513 16th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036. If duct system incorporates flexible air duct, be sure that the pressure drop Information (straight length plus all turns) shown in “ACCA” Manual “D” is accounted for in system.
- Supply plenum is attached to the 3/4” duct flanges supplied with the unit. Attach flanges around the blower outlet.
- Secure the supply and return ductwork to the unit flanges, using proper fasteners for the type of duct used and tape the duct-to-unit joint as required to prevent air leaks.
IMPORTANT
If an elbow is included in the plenum close to the unit, it must not be
smaller than the dimensions of the supply duct flange on the unit.
The front flange on the return duct connected to the blower casing must not be
screwed into the area where the power wiring is located. Drills or sharp screw
points can damage insulation on wires located inside unit.
Air Filter
Filter application and replacement are critical to airflow, which may affect
the heating and cooling system performance. Reduced airflow can shorten the
life of the system’s major components, such as motor, heat relays, evaporator
coil or compressor. Units should be sized for a maximum of 300 feet/min.
air velocity or what is recommended for the filter type installed.
Ensure the air flow is in the range of 300~450CFM if adding high efficiency
filters or electronic air filtration systems. Note that the overall
performance and efficiency of the unit will be reduced because of pressure
drop by filters.
IMPORTANT
Do not double filter the return air duct.
Do not filter the supply air duct which will change the performance of the
unit and reduce airflow.
WARNING
Do not operate the system without filters. A portion of the dust suspended in
the air may temporarily lodge in the duct. Any circulated dust particles could
be heated and charred by contact with the air handler elements. This residue
could soil ceilings, walls, drapes, carpets and other articles in the house.
Soot damage may occur without filters in place when certain types of candles,
oil lamps or standing pilots are burned.
Air filter Clean/Replacement
- Remove bolts to take the filter cover away.
- Hold the edge of the air filter and extract it out.
- Clean the air filter or use a new one to replace.

Indoor Unit Function
8.1 Indoor Fan Speed Adjustment
This function is for the user in the installation, according to the length of
the air duct to determine the best fan speed, so that indoor air supply to
achieve the best performance. If the user wants to adjust the fan speed level,
the operation is as follows:
The dip-switch for adjusting the fan speed level is located at SW1 of the
indoor unit Main PCB, as shown in Figure 9-1. Dip-switch have digital end and
“ON” end, The setting of dip-switch is explained as follows: STEP 1.
When the SW1-1 is located at the digital end (factory default), the fan runs
in 5th level for high speed and 2nd level for low speed. If you want to adjust
the fan speed by yourself, you need to change it to the “ON” end:
STEP 2.
Set SW1-1 to “ON” end.Then combining the SW1-2 and SW1-3 to get different fan
speeds. The fan speed operation obtained by the combination is shown in the
following table:
Table 7. Dip-switch setting for fan speed
Combination | SW1 setting | Low speed | High speed |
---|---|---|---|
1(Default) | 2 nd speed | 5 th speed | |
2 | 1 st speed | 2 nd speed | |
3 | 1 st speed | 3 rd speed | |
4 | 2 nd speed | 4 th speed | |
5 | 3 rd speed | 5 th speed |
8.2 Cold Air Prevention
This function should be confirmed to the user during the installation, the
factory default is turning on anti-cold air function, the effect is: 1. the
initial stage of heating with low fan speed, 2. the indoor unit is shut down
when the unit enter defrosting mode;
You can turn on or turn off this function by adjusting the fourth position of
SW1 on the indoor unit main control board. The digit end corresponds to OFF,
and the letter end corresponds to ON. The default setting is ON, adjust the
dip-switch to OFF, the anti-cold air function will be turned off.
