Fig. 1 – Condensate Pump
On high wall fan coils, the condensate pump has a lift capability of
18 ft (5.5 m) or the discharge side with the pump mounted in the
fan coil or 6 ft (1.8 m) on the suction side if the pump must be
remote mounted. The pump mounts inside the unit with quick
plug--in connections, and is recommended when adequate drain
line pitch cannot be provided, or when the condensate must move
up to exit.
NOTE: An external 115v power source will be required to run the
pump on unit sizes 9k and 12k.
OUTDOOR UNITS
LOW AMBIENT KIT
The kit controls condenser fan cycling using a pressure switch. It is
specifically designed to control fan--motor cycles in response to
saturated condensing pressure. This device maintains a constant
saturated condensing temperature of 100 _F±10 _F (37.78_C±
--12.22 _C) at outdoor--air temperatures between 55 _F and --20 _F
(12.78_C±--12.22_C), and can be used on all outdoor units
without changing the outdoor fan motor.
CRANKCASE HEATER
Available for units with rotary compressors. Heater clamps around
compressor oil sump. Recommended for low--ambient applications
on sizes 9, 12 , 18, 24 and long line applications.

WIRING
The main power is supplied to the outdoor unit. The field supplied connecting cable from the outdoor unit to indoor unit consists of four
wires and provides the power for the indoor unit as well as the communication signal between the outdoor unit and indoor unit.
Voltage drop on the connecting cable should be kept to a minimum. Use cable size and max length below:
18 AWG 50 ft. (16 m)
16 AWG 100 ft. (33 m)

CONTROL CONTROL
Notes:
1. Do not use thermostat wire for any connection between indoor and outdoor units.
2. All connections between indoor and outdoor units must be as shown. The connections are sensitive to polarity.
3. On the 18k and 24k units, the “S” terminal “CONTROL” output is pulse DC with a potential AC voltage shock hazard.

REFRIGERANT LINES
General refrigerant line sizing:
1. The 38MVC/MVQ units are shipped with a full charge of
R410A refrigerant. All charges, line sizing, and capacities
are based on runs of 25 ft (7.6 m). For runs over 25 ft (7.6
m), consult long--line section on this page for proper charge
adjustments.
2. Minimum refrigerant line length between the indoor and
outdoor units is 10 ft. (3 m).
3. Refrigerant lines should not be buried in the ground. If it is
necessary to bury the lines, not more than 36--in (914 mm)
should be buried. Provide a minimum 6--in (152 mm)
vertical rise to the service valves to prevent refrigerant
migration.
4. Both lines must be insulated. Use a minimum of 1/2--in.
(12.7 mm) thick insulation. Closed--cell insulation is
recommended in all long--line applications.
5. Special consideration should be given to isolating
interconnecting tubing from the building structure. Isolate
the tubing so that vibration or noise is not transmitted into
the structure.

SYSTEM EVACUATION AND
CHARGING
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
Never use the system compressor as a vacuum pump.
CAUTION
!
Refrigerant tubes and indoor coil should be evacuated using the
recommended deep vacuum method of 500 microns. The alternate
triple evacuation method may be used if the procedure outlined
below is followed. Always break a vacuum with dry nitrogen.
SYSTEM VACUUM AND CHARGE
Using Vacuum Pump
1. Completely tighten flare nuts A, B, C, D, connect manifold
gage charge hose to a charge port of the low side service
valve. (See Fig. 18.)
2. Connect charge hose to vacuum pump.
3. Fully open the low side of manifold gage. (See Fig. 19)
4. Start vacuum pump
5. Evacuate using either deep vacuum or triple evacuation
method.
6. After evacuation is complete, fully close the low side of
manifold gage and stop operation of vacuum pump.
7. The factory charge contained in the outdoor unit is good for
up to 25 ft. (8 m) of line length. For refrigerant lines longer
than 25 ft (8 m), add 0.1 oz. per foot of extra piping up to
the maximum allowable length.
8. Disconnect charge hose from charge connection of the low
side service valve.
9. Fully open service valves B and A.
10. Securely tighten caps of service valves.

Triple Evacuation Method
The triple evacuation method should only be used when vacuum
pump is only capable of pumping down to 28 in. of mercury
vacuum and system does not contain any liquid water.
Refer to Fig. 21 and proceed as follows:
1. Pump system down to 28 in. of mercury and allow pump to
continue operating for an additional 15 minutes.
2. Close service valves and shut off vacuum pump.
3. Connect a nitrogen cylinder and regulator to system and
open until system pressure is 2 psig.
4. Close service valve and allow system to stand for 1 hr. Dur-
ing this time, dry nitrogen will be able to diffuse throughout
the system absorbing moisture.
5. Repeat this procedure as indicated in Fig. 21. System will
then be free of any contaminants and water vapor.

CONTROL SYSTEM
The 40MVC/MVQ unit is equipped with a microprocessor control to perform two functions:
1. Provide safety for the system
2. Control the system and provide optimum levels of comfort and efficiency
The main microprocessor is located on the control board of the fan coil unit (outdoor units have a microprocessor too) with thermistors
located in the fan coil air inlet and on the indoor coil. Heat pump units have a thermistor on the outdoor coil. These thermistors monitor the
system operation to maintain the unit within acceptable parameters and control the operating mode.

MODES OF OPERATION
The units have 5 main operating modes:
1. Fan Only
2. Cooling
3. Heating (heat pumps only)
4. Auto
5. Dehumidification (Dry)
The units have 2 other modes (manual operation) that are operated
in unique situations:
1. Auto Forced Mode (Emergency)
2. Test Mode
Fan Mode Only
In this mode, the system circulates the room air without changing
the room air temperature.
Cooling Mode
In this mode, the system cools and dries the room air with the fan
running continuously, either at a selected fan speed or Auto fan
speed. The fan runs even when the compressor cycles off. This
feature enhances room comfort and efficiency of the system.
When the unit is operating in cooling, two sub modes can also be
selected:
1. Sleep Mode is an energy saving feature that changes the set
point automatically.
2. Turbo Mode is a comfort feature on the 9k and 12k units
where the set point is reached quickly by having the fan run
on high speed regardless of the speed that has been selected.
Compressor and Outdoor Fan Operation
The compressor and outdoor fan motor cycle on and off based on
the conditions of the set point and the room temperature as shown
below. There is no minimum run time.

The unit will shut off 7 hours after the Sleep Mode is selected.
Turbo Mode
When in cooling mode, selecting Turbo will allow the indoor unit
to satisfy the temperature set point as quickly as possible. In Turbo
Mode, the indoor fan will shift to high speed and either run
continuously for 20 minutes or until the user pushes the Turbo
button again, at which point the fan speed will return to the original
setting.
Heating Mode
In this mode, the system heats the room air with the indoor fan
running at either the selected speed or on Auto. As in the cooling
mode, the indoor fan will run continuously unless interrupted by
the cold blow algorithm. This algorithm will not allow the fan to
run if the indoor coil temperature drops below a preset value.
The sleep function can be selected while the unit is running in the
Heating Mode. Defrost is controlled by the on--board
microprocessor.
Compressor and Fan Operation
The compressor and outdoor fan cycle on and off based on the
actual room temperature versus the set point as shown below.
When the compressor starts, it will run continuously for 7 minutes
even if the set point condition is satisfied.
The 4--way value is energized in heating and will stay energized for
2 minutes after the mode is changed into a non--heating mode.

Defrost
Defrost on heat pump units is controlled by the microprocessor and
is initiated if either of the following conditions occur:
1. The outdoor coil temperature is lower than 32_F(0_C) for
more than 40 minutes and during that period, the coil
temperature is continuously lower than 26.6_F(--3_C) for 3
minutes.
2. If the first condition does not occur within 90 minutes of
termination of the last defrost cycle.
The defrost cycle will terminate 10 minutes after initiation or when
the coil temperature reaches 68_F(20_C). At the end of the
Defrost cycle the timer resets automatically.
The cycles of defrost algorithm are shown below:

Auto Mode
When the Auto setting is selected, the microprocessor looks at the
difference between the room temperature (T) and the set point
(TS). The algorithm determines which mode the unit will run in as
shown below:
Heating (fan only in cooling) Fan only Cooling

A08115
Fig.35–AutoMode
When the unit shifts modes, it will remain in that mode for at least
15 minutes while the algorithm ignores the difference between T
and TS. This ensures that the unit cannot change modes too
frequently.
38/40MVC, MVQ
27
Dry (Dehumidification) Mode
When more humidity control is desired, the Dry setting can be
selected. Lower humidity is achieved when the microprocessor
adjusts the indoor fan speed and compressor cycling by comparing
the room temperature (T) and the set point temperature (TS).
There are two different control algorithms:
Size 9k and 12 k units:
T = TS + 3.6 -- the compressor will run for 6 minutes and the
indoor fan will run at low speed. The compressor will be off for 4
minutes and the indoor fan will run in ultra low speed.
TS = T < TS + 3.6 -- The compressor will run for 5 minutes and the
indoor fan will run at low speed. The compressor will be off for 5
minutes and the indoor fan will run in ultra low speed.
T < TS -- The compressor will run for 4 minutes and the indoor
fan will run at low speed. The compressor will be off for 6 minutes
and the indoor fan will run in ultra low speed.
Size 18k and 24k units:
These units do not have ultra low speed. When set for
dehumidification, the indoor fan runs at low speed and the
compressor cycles based on the difference between T and TS.
Manual Operation
The unit can be set for Forced Auto or Forced Cooling manually
by pushing the Manual button once or twice as shown below:
Remote
mode Forced
auto Forced
cooling
Push 3 Times Push Once Push Twice
A08116
Fig. 36 – Manual Operation
Forced Auto (Emergency Operation)
Forced Auto option allows operation of the unit if the remote
control is lost or the batteries have expired. When the system is in
Forced Auto, it will run with a default set point of 75.2_F. While
in Forced Auto, the system will respond to signals from the remote
control.
Forced Cooling Operation
This option is used for diagnostic purposes. The system is forced
to run in cooling for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, the 9k and 12k systems will switch to Dry mode
with a default set point of 75.2_F. The 18k and 24k systems will
switch to Forced Auto mode. When the system is in Forced
Cooling mode, it will not respond to signals from the remote
control. The only way to exit the Forced Cooling mode is to push
the manual button once to switch the system to remote control
mode.

For the ease of service, the systems are equipped with diagnostic
code display LED’s on both the indoor and outdoor units. The
outdoor diagnostic display is an LED on the outdoor unit board
and is limited to very few errors. However, it is useful in
identifying special error codes like a failure of the outdoor coil
sensor on heat pumps. The indoor diagnostic display is a
combination of flashing LED’s on the display panel on the front of
the unit. If possible always check the diagnostic codes displayed on
the indoor unit first.
The diagnostic codes for the indoor and outdoor units are listed in
appendix A8 and A9.
Problems may occur that are not covered by a diagnostic code, but
are covered by the diagnostic flow charts starting with the
diagnostic hierarchy. These problems will be typical air
conditioning mechanical or electrical issues that can be corrected
using standard air conditioning repair techniques.
For problems requiring measurements at the control boards please
note the following:
1. Always disconnect the main power.
2. When possible check the outdoor board first.
3. Start by removing the outdoor unit top cover.
4. Reconnect the main power
5. Probe the outdoor board inputs and outputs with a digital
multi--meter referring to the wiring diagrams and
input/output charts found in the appendix.
6. Connect the red probe to hot signal and the black probe to
the ground or negative.
7. Note that some of the DC voltage signals are pulse will give
continuously variable readings.
8. If it is necessary to check the indoor unit board you must
start by disconnecting the main power.
9. Next remove the front cover of the unit and then control
box cover.
10. Carefully remove the indoor board from the control box,
place it face up on a plastic surface (not metal).
11. Reconnect the main power and repeat steps 5,6, and 7.
