Complete Outdoor Refrigerant Piping Connec-
tions
Follow the following general guidelines:
1. Use refrigerant grade field - supplied tubing.
Refer to Table 4 for the correct line sizes.
2. Do not use less than 10 ft (93.05 m) of interconnecting
tubing.
[]NIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
If any section of pipe is buried, there nmst be a 6 in. (152.4
ram) vertical rise to the valve connections on the outdoor
unit. If more than the recommended length is buried,
refrigerant may nfigrate to cooler, buried section during
extended periods of system shutdown. This causes
refrigerant slugging and could possibly damage the
compressor at start-up.
When more than 80 fl (24.4 m) of interconnecting tubing is used,
consult the Duct-Free Split System Long Line Application Guide
for required accessories.
3. On cooling only units, insulate the liquid line. On heat
pumps, insulate both lines. A minimum of 1/2 inch foam
pipe insulation is recommended.
4. Run the refrigerant tubes as directly as possible and avoid
unnecessary turns and bends.
5. Suspend refrigerant tubes to avoid damage to insulation or
tubes so they do not transnfit vibration to the structure.
6. When passing refrigerant tubes through the wall, seal the
opening so rain and insects do not enter the structure. Leave
some slack in refrigerant tubes between structure and out-
door unit to absorb vibration.
NOTE: A fusible plug is located in unit suction line; do not cap
this plug. If local codes require additional safety devices, install as
directed.
Connection at Outdoor Unit
[]NIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage
or improper operation.
To prevent damage to unit or service valves observe the
following:
• A brazing shield MUST be used.
• Wrap service valves with wet cloth or use a heat sink
material.
1. Braze the connector tubes (field supplied for the 38HDR
units and factory supplied for the 38QRR units) to the inlet
of the factory supplied filter drier. If a cooling only unit is
being installed move to step 3 (see Fig. 8).
2. Remove the plastic cap from the liquid and suction service
valve on the 38QRR unit and assemble the heating piston
and piston cap supplied with the outdoor unit as shown in
Fig. 16.

The piping to the indoor unit can be routed from the back, side and
top. If the unit is being piped from the top or the side see note
below.
1. On heat 400A0024 - 048, the cooling piston {indoor} is
shipped in the factory installed metering device with the in-
door unit. Use Table 6 to verify that you have the correct
piston size for the system being installed.
2. Run the line set and the control wiring from the outdoor to
the indoor unit through the hole in the wall. Keep the piping
general guidelines in mind.
3. Cut the liquid and suction line to the correct length using a
tube cutter.
4. Remove the flare nuts from the indoor piping connections.
Install them onto the liquid and suction lines and make flare
connections.
5. Apply a small amount of refrigerant oil to the flare connec-
tion and tubing.
6. Align the tubing with the refrigerant connections on the in-
door unit.
7. Tighten the flare nut and finish the installation using two
wrenches as shown in Fig. 22.
NOTE: When piping is being routed from the top or side, two
pipe adaptors are supplied with the unit. Flare the pipe
adaptors to the indoor unit connections and sweat the other
ends to the line set.
Connect Condensate Drain Line
Observe all local sanitary codes when installing condensate drains.
Refer to Fig. 23 for drain pipe connection from indoor unit.
1. Use hard polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe material with nom-
inal ID of 3/4 in. to connect at drain line. Use pipe insula-
tion 1/4 in. thick, such as Armaflex insulation, on exposed
piping inside the conditioned space.
2. To insure regular flow of condensate water, the drain pipe
should be pitched toward an open drain or sump at a down-
ward slope of at least 1/4 in. per ft.
3. If the drain piping is routed through the side of the unit, at-
tach a field fabricated piece of sheet metal to support the
drain pipe as shown in Fig. 23.

on the indoor and outdoor disconnect switches to supply
power the system 12 hours before starting the system.
2. Release charge into the system by opening (back-seating)
liquid and suction line service valves.
3. Set the wireless remote control or wired remote control be-
low ambient temperature. Operate the unit for 15 minutes.
4. Refer to Table 5 to determine if additional charge is re-
quired. Also, if you have a long line application, refer to the
Duct Free Long Line Application Guide to determine the
additional charge that is required beyond 25 ft (7.6 m).
5. Calculate the total additional charge required and weigh in.
6. Charge should be added as liquid (not gas) slowly and care-
fully to low side to avoid liquid slugging.

OPERATING SEQUENCE
Ceiling-suspended fan coil units have a relay board which controls
system operation in response to a room thermostat. The user may
manually select any one of 3 fan speeds for unit operation. The
discharge louvers on the unit can be stationary or swing
continuously. A switch located at the bottom of the unit will turn
the swing flmction on and off.
Ceiling-suspended systems may be equipped with an accessory
power ventilation kit and/or condensate pump.
FAN OPERATION -- Fan coils are capable of 3-speed
operation. See thermostat instructions for fan speed selection.
When the fan(s) is operating in medium or high speed and the unit
is equipped with the power ventilation kit, the ventilation fan will
operate to provide fresh air.
COOLING MODE OPERATION -- When the room thermostat
senses a demand for cooling, the fan coil relay board is energized.
The indoor fan(s) will start in the selected speed (if it is not already
operating). The reversing valve (heat pump only) will energize for
cooling operation.
The internal condensate pump (if so equipped) runs whenever the
reversing valve is energized (heat pump only) and/or the unit is in
cooling. As long as the condensate float switch and freeze
protection thermostat are closed, the cooling relays in the fan coil
unit will close. This energizes the compressor and outdoor fan in
the outdoor unit.
The compressor will continue to operate until the room thermostat
is satisfied. When the cooling demand is satisfied, the compressor
and outdoor fan will stop. If the system is in the AUTO. position,
the indoor fan will stop with the compressor.
If the unit has the accessory ventilation kit, the ventilation fan will
operate whenever the indoor fan is set for medium or high speed.
HEAT PUMP OPERATION -- When the room thermostat
senses a demand for heating the indoor fan will start in the selected
speed (if not already operating), and the reversing valve will not be
energized.
The internal condensate pump (if supplied) and freeze protection
thermostat are not operated during heating operation. The control
relay (CR2) closes, and the compressor and outdoor fan are
energized through the defrost board (DFB), which is located in the
outdoor unit. The microprocessor logic in the DFB is energized
when the compressor starts, and the defrost timer runs. Once every
90 minutes (factory default setting) of compressor run time, the
DFB logic checks the defrost thermostat (DFT). If the DFT is
open, the unit continues in heating operation. If the DFT is closed,
the DFB switches the unit to defrost mode. The timing on the DFB
may be set at either 30, 50, or 90 minutes.
DEFROST (Heat Pump Only) -- The DFB energizes the RVS
(reversing valve solenoid), and the reversing valve switches to the
cooling position. The K1 relay on the DFB opens and the outdoor
fan stops. The W2 contact on the DFB is also energized, which in
turn energizes the defrost relay on the fan coil relay board, turns off
the electric heater and stops the indoor fan.
The DFB logic checks the 10-minute defrost timer and the DFT. If
the DFT opens in less than 10 nfinutes, the DFB switches the unit
back to normal heating operation. If the DFT remains closed, the
DFB switches the unit back to heating operation after 10 minutes.
When the DFB changes back to heating mode, the RVR (reversing
valve relay) is de-energized and the reversing valve switches back
to heating operation. Both the outdoor and indoor fans come back
on, and if necessary, the electric heater also turns on. SYSTEM
SAFETIES -- The system is equipped with the following safety
devices to protect system components: Indoor coil freeze
protection thermostat -- If a coil temperature of 28 °F (-2.22 ° C) or
lower is sensed, the compressor and outdoor fan will be shut down
until the coil temperature exceeds 28°F (-2.22°C). The indoor fan
will continue to run. Condensate float switch (units equipped with
accessory condensate pump, cooling cycle only) -- If the level of
condensate in the drain pan rises too high, the condensate float
switch will turn the system off.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
ELECTRICALSHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, main
electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF
position. There may be more than 1 disconnect switch.
Lock out and tag switch with a suitable warning label.
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
To avoid shrinkage, do not wash filter in water over
120°F (48.9°C). To avoid damage, do not expose filter to
fire or direct sunlight . Clean the filter more frequently
when air is extremely dirty.
For proper system operation, perform the cleaning and
maintenance operations in Table 13.
Lubrication -- The indoor-fan, automatic air sweep, and the
outdoor-fan motors are factory lubricated and require no oiling.
AIR FILTERS
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
Operating the system with dirty air filters may damage the
indoor unit and can cause reduced cooling performance,
intermittent system operation, frost build-up on the indoor
coil, and blown fuses. Inspect and clean or replace the air
filters monthly.
REMOVE AIR FILTERS -- Remove filters by pulling them
straight out.
CLEAN OR REPLACE FILTERS -- Filters can be vacuumed
or washed in warm water. Shake filter to remove any excess water,
and replace by sliding filter behind grille until filter snaps in place.
Refer to Fig. 32. If the filter has begun to break down or is torn,
replace it. Replacement filters are available through your dealer.

CUT HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal iniury.
Sheet metal parts may have sharp edges or burrs. Use care and
wear appropriate protective clothing and gloves when
cleaning. Clean coil carefully.
To clean the outdoor coil:
1. Remove any dirt or obstruction from discharge opening.
2. Use a garden hose to spray water on the coil. Debris that
collects between coil fins inhibits heat transfer -- direct the
water spray between coil fins to flush out debris.
CLEAN CONDENSATE DRAINS -- Clean all drains and drain
pans at the start of each cooling season. Check the flow by pouring
water into the drain.
To clean or replace drain pan:
1. Place a plastic sheet on the floor to catch any water that may
spill from drain pan.
2. Remove the intake grille and distribution assembly (at-
tached).
3. Remove the condensate water in the drain pan by letting
water drain into a 3-gallon bucket.
