USER INFORMATION
About the Heat Pump
Your heat pump is a unique, all weather comfortcontrol appliance that will heat and cool your
home year round and provide energy saving
comfort. It’s an unknown fact that heat is always
in the air, even when the outside temperature is
below freezing. The heat pump uses this basic
law of physics to provide energy saving heat
during the winter months. For example, If the
outdoor temperature is 47° F (8° C), your heat
pump can deliver approximately 3.5 units of
heat energy per each unit of electrical energy
used, as compared to a maximum of only 1
unit of heat energy produced with conventional
heating systems.
In colder temperatures, the heat pump performs
like an air conditioner run in reverse. Available
heat energy outside the home is absorbed by the
refrigerant and exhausted inside the home. This
efficient process means you only pay for “moving”
the heat from the outdoors to the indoor area.You
do not pay to generate the heat, as is the case
with more traditional furnace designs.
During summer, the heat pump reverses the flow
of the heat-absorbing refrigerant to become an
energy-efficient, central air conditioner. Excess
heat energy inside the home is absorbed by the
refrigerant and exhausted outside the home.

Operating Instructions
Cooling Operation
1. Set the thermostat’s system mode to COOL
or AUTO and change the fan mode to AUTO.
See Figure 1
2. Set the temperature selector to the desired
temperature level. The outdoor fan,
compressor, and blower motor will all cycle
on and off to maintain the indoor temperature
at the desired cooling level.
NOTE: If the temperature level is re-adjusted, or
the system mode is reset, the fan and compressor
in the outdoor unit may not start immediately. A
protective timer circuit holds the compressor
and the outdoor fan off for approximately three
minutes following a previous operation or the
interruption of the main electrical power.
Heating Operation
1. Set the thermostat’s system mode to HEAT
or AUTO and change the fan mode to AUTO.
See Figure 1.
2. Set the temperature selector to the desired
temperature level. The compressor, outdoor
fan, and blower motor will cycle on and off to
maintain the indoor temperature at the desired
heating level.
NOTE: If the temperature level is re-adjusted, or
the system mode is reset, the fan and compressor
in the outdoor unit may not start immediately. A
protective timer circuit holds the compressor
and the outdoor fan off for approximately three
minutes following a previous operation or the
interruption of the main electrical power.
Emergency Heat
Some thermostats may include a system mode
called EM HT or AUX HT, etc. This is a backup heating mode that should only be used if a
problem is suspected. With the mode set to EM
HT, etc., the compressor and outdoor fan will
be locked off and supplemental heat (electric
resistance heating) will be used as a source of
heat. Sustained use of electric resistance heat in
place of the heat pump will result in an increase
in electric utility costs.
Defrost
During cold weather heating operation, the
outdoor unit will develop a coating of snow
and ice on the heat transfer coil. This is normal
and the unit will defrost itself. This unit features
Adaptive Demand Defrost that monitors ambient
and coil temperatures to regulate the defrost
function accordingly.

Figure 1. Digital Thermostat
3

At the beginning of the defrost cycle, both the
outdoor condenser fan and compressor will
turn off. After approximately 30 seconds, the
compressor will turn on and begin to heat the
outdoor coil causing the ice and snow to melt.
NOTE: While the ice and snow is melting, some
steam may rise from the outdoor unit as the warm
coil causes the melting frost to evaporate. When
defrost is completed, the outdoor fan motor will
start, and the compressor will turn off again. In
approximately 30 seconds the compressor will
start up again and continue normal operation.
System Shutdown
Change the thermostat’s system mode to OFF
and the fan mode to AUTO (See Figure 1).
NOTE: The system will not operate, regardless
of the temperature selector setting.
Warranty Information
A warranty certificate with full details is
included with the heat pump. Carefully review
these responsibilities with your dealer or
service company. The manufacturer will not be
responsible for any costs found necessary to
correct problems due to improper setup, improper
installation, adjustments, improper operating
procedure on the part of the user, etc. Some
specific examples of service calls which are not
included in the limited warranty are:

equipment damage, check thermostat
manufacturer’s operation of fan relay
circuit when in EMER HEAT. When
the thermostat system mode is in the
EMER HEAT position, the thermostat
must energize the fan relay when the
fan mode is in the AUTO position.
Inspecting Equipment:
All units are securely packed at the time of
shipment and, upon arrival, should be carefully
inspected for damage. Claims for damage
(apparent or concealed) should be filed
immediately with the carrier.

HEAT PUMP INSTALLATION
Locating the Heat pump
• Select a solid, level position, preferably on a
concrete slab, slightly above the grade level,
and parallel to the home. DO NOT PLACE
UNIT UNDER THE HOME.
• The hot condenser air must be discharged up
and away from the home, and if possible, in a
direction with the prevailing wind.
• Do not place the unit in a confined space.
• If practical, place the heat pump and its ducts
in an area where they will be shaded from
the afternoon sun, when the heat load is
greatest.
• If possible, select a site for the unit that is as
close as possible to the proposed return grille
location.
• The length of the supply and return ducts
should be kept to a minimum with no sharp
radius bends.
Unpacking the Unit
It is recommended that the unit be unpacked
at the installation site to minimize damage due
to handling.

CAUTION:
Do not tip the unit on its side. Oil
may enter the compressor cylinders
and cause starting trouble. If unit has
been set on its side, restore to upright
position and do not run for several
hours.Then run unit for a few seconds.
Do this three or four times with five
minutes between runs.
1. Remove the bands from around the unit.
2. Unfold the top and bottom cap flanges.
3. Carefully remove the top cap and tube.
Minimum Clearances
Minimum clearances MUST be maintained from
adjacent structures to provide room for proper

Duct Requirements
The supply duct system, including the number
and type of registers, will have much more
effect on the performance of an air conditioning
system then any other factor. The duct must be
sufficiently large to conduct an adequate amount
of air to each register.
CONDENSATE DRAINAGE
A 3/4” condensate fitting extends out of the side
of the unit (Figure 3). The drain trap, shipped in
the electrical compartment, must be installed to
prevent water from collecting inside the unit.
1. Thread the elbow provided with the unit into
the drain connection until hand tight.
2. Connect the condensate tubing onto the fitting,
forming a trap near the drain connection.
3. Route the condensate tube from the trap to
a suitable drain. NOTE: For proper drainage,
make sure the trap is level to the ground and
tubing outlet is below trap level.

INSTALLING RETURN AND
SUPPLY AIR FITTINGS
The supply and return fittings are included with
the unit and located in the supply duct. They
attach to the unit openings (Figure 4) with a
flange and bead arrangement and may be,
secured with two sheet metal screws. Note: For
easier access, install fittings before positioning
unit in final location.
Supply Duct
1. Position the supply duct collar so the edge of
the unit opening fits between the flange and
the bead.
2. Overlap the collar ends keeping the small
screw holes underneath.
3. Align the holes in the crimped area and install
one screw. Note: It may be necessary to loosen
the four screws that hold the transition duct
in order to install the supply fitting. Re-tighten
when installation is complete.
4. Tap collar (if necessary) to ensure engagement
with unit opening and install second screw.
5. Tighten first screw and rotate collar clockwise
so joint is near three o’clock position.
Return Duct
1. Align the slots with the holes in the collar and
install two screws.
2. Position the collar over the opening and align
the four notches in the collar with the four
dimples in the panel.
3. Using self-drilling screws (10-16x.5) attach
the collar to the rear panel.

LOCATING AND INSTALLING THE
RETURN AIR ASSEMBLY
To simplify installation, locate and install the
return air assembly first. If desired, the return
opening can be located inside a closet with
louvered doors that has an open area equal to
or greater than the 12” x 20” grille furnished. The
return air grille can be placed in the wall of a closet
and the air ducted into the filter box through a
boxed-in area at the closet floor level. Make sure
the filter is readily accessible.
NOTE: The return air box with grille and filter
(Figure 5) should not be located in heavy traffic
areas like hallways or center of rooms. A good
spot is in a corner or under a table, if a minimum
two inch clearance is available.
1. Start the installation from under the home by
cutting a small hole in the subfloor. Determine
how the floor joist location will affect cutting
the opening needed for the return air box.
NOTE: Floor joists are generally located on
16” centers, leaving 14-3/8” between joists.
2. After measur ing the retur n air box
(approximately 12-1/4” x 20-1/4”), cut the
hole through the floor so that the box will fit
between the floor joists. Care should be taken
when cutting through carpeting to avoid snags.
NOTE: In most installations it will be necessary
to cut a similar hole in the fiberboard directly
under the hole in the floor. However, if the floor
is more than ten inches deep, it will only be
necessary to cut a hole for the collar on the
return air box or for the insulated duct.
3. Set the box into the opening and fasten with
screws or nails.
4. Put the filter and return air grille in place.

LOCATING AND INSTALLING THE
SUPPLY DAMPER(S)
When locating the supply damper(s), carefully
check floor joists and frame members that could
interfere with the installation of the damper or
flexible duct. Ideally, the damper (Figure 6) should
be located in the bottom of the main duct, forward
of center of the home, at least three feet from the
nearest register.The round supply opening in the
slanted side of the damper should face the side
of the home where the heat pump is located.

DUCTING SYSTEM
Air ducts should be installed in accordance with
the standards of the National Fire Protection
Association “Standard for Installation of Air
Conditioning and Ventilation Systems” (NFPA
90A), “Standard for Installation of Residence
Type Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning
Systems” (NFPA 90B), these instructions, and
all applicable codes.
The supply duct system, including the number
and type of registers, will have much more effect
on the performance of the system than any
other factor. The duct must be sufficiently large
to conduct an adequate amount of air to each
register. See Table 1 or Figure 7.

1. Locate the center of the heat duct by cutting
a small hole in the fiberboard below the duct
at the desired location.
2. Cut a hole approximately 3/4” larger than the
damper opening in the fiberboard.
3. Cut a 9-1/8” x 13-1/8” hole in the duct and
bend over all tabs flat on the inside of the heat
duct.
4. Insert the damper into the duct and bend over
all tabs flat on the inside of the heat duct.
5. Seal the opening between the fiberboard and
damper or flexible duct.

The heat pump system will not cool or heat
the home if air is lost to the outside through
leaks in the duct system. Ducts that are
collapsed or restricted by foreign objects
will also prevent adequate air flow.

Note: For highly resistive duct systems it may be
necessary to add an additional return air duct and
or supply to achieve maximum performance and
prevent coil icing and refrigerant flood back.
Connecting the Return and Supply Air
Flexible Ducts
• The return duct for all units is 14” diameter.
• The supply duct for all units is 12” diameter.
• The flexible ducts can be connected to the
corresponding fittings with the clamps provided
with the ducts. Note: To prevent a loss in
cooling capacity, make sure all connections
are tight.
• The flexible ducts may be cut to the required
length, see instructions packed with duct. Keep
all ducts as short and straight as possible.
Avoid sharp bends.
• Ducts may be spliced with sheet metal sleeves
and clamps.
• Once the inner duct is connected to the proper
fitting, the insulation and plastic sleeve should
be pulled over the connection and clamped.
• Homes with multiple supply ducts (or special
applications), a Y fitting is available to divide
the supply air so it can be ducted to different
areas of the home for more efficient cooling.
Note: For maximum performance, insulate
the Y fitting.
Blower Speed
For optimum system performance and comfort,
it may be necessary to change the factory speed
setting. See Table 2 (page 10) for factory settings.
NOTE: Q5RE models have High Efficiency Motors
with 5 speed taps.

WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, personal
injury, or death, turn off the electric
power at the disconnect or the main
service panel before making any
electrical connections.
1. Disconnect all electrical power to the unit and
remove the service panel.

CAUTION:
Labelallwirespriortodisconnection
when servicing controls. Wiring
errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation.Verify proper
operation after servicing.

2. Locate the orange, black and red wires
terminated to the blower motor. The orange
wire controls the low speed cooling and heating
operations, the black wire controls high speed
cooling and heating operations and the red
wire controls the electric heating operation.

CAUTION:
To avoid personal injury or
property damage, make certain
that the motor leads cannot
come into contact with any metal
components of the unit.
3. Verify the required speed from the airflow data
found in Table 2. Place appropriate wire on the
appropriate motor speed tap for the required
airflow.
4. Check all factory wiring per the unit wiring
diagram and inspect the factory wiring
connections to be sure none loosened during
shipping or installation.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, personal
injury, or death, turn off the electric
power at the disconnect or the
main service panel before making
any electrical connections.
High Voltage
1. Install a branch circuit disconnect of adequate
size as specified by the National Electrical
Code. Locate the disconnect within sight
of the unit.
2. Extend leads through power wiring hole
(Figure 9). Connect L1 and L2 directly to the
contactor.
3. Ground the heat pump unit using the green
grounding screw provided in the control
panel.
Low Voltage
1. Route 24V control wires through the
sealing grommet (Figure 8) near the power
entrance.
2. Connect the control wires to the defrost board
and blower relay wire (Figure 9, page 10).

Low Pressure Switch
The low pressure switch is factory installed and
located in the suction line internal to the unit. The
switch is designed to protect the compressor if a
loss of charge occurs. Under normal conditions,
the switch is closed.

High Voltage
Low Voltage
Figure 8. Power Entry
Overcurrent Protection
Generally, the best fuse or breaker for any heat
pump is the smallest size that will permit the
equipment to run under normal usage and provide
maximum equipment protection. Properly sized
fuses and breakers also prevent nuisance trips
during unit startup. If a fuse blows or a breaker
trips, always determine the reason. Do not
arbitrarily install a larger fuse or breaker and
do not, in any case, exceed the maximum size
listed on the data label of the unit.
Locating the Thermostat
Locate the thermostat away from drafts and
slamming doors. The thermostat must not be
installed on an outside wall or any other location
where its operation may be adversely affected
by radiant heat from fireplaces, sunlight, or
lighting fixtures, or convective heat sources such
as supply air registers or electrical appliances.
Mount on an inside wall approximately five feet
from the floor.
This heat pump is a two stage Cooling and
Heating appliance that requires a 2-stage
Cooling/Heating thermostat. The heat-cool
thermostat prevents simultaneous operation of
the heating and cooling units and is equipped
with an ON-AUTO fan mode that allows the home
owner to operate the indoor blower when only
air circulation is desired.
Connect the low voltage wires to the respective
terminals on the thermostat base (Figure 9). See
thermostat instruction sheet for more detailed
information.
2-Speed Outdoor Fan Motor
(Select Models)
If the unit utilizes a 2-speed condenser fan motor,
this motor will operate on low speed when in low
cooling/heating, and on high speed when in high
cooling/heating.

If the suction pressure falls below 5 psig, then
the switch will open and de-energize the unit.The
switch will close again once the suction pressure
increases above 20 psig. The low pressure
switch interrupts the thermostat inputs to the unit.
Note: When the switch opens and then closes,
there will be a 3 minute short cycling delay before
the unit can energize.
High Pressure Switch
The high pressure switch is factory installed
and located in the compressor discharge line
internal to the unit. The switch is designed to deenergize the system when very high pressures
occur during abnormal conditions. Under normal
conditions, the switch is closed.
If the discharge pressure rises above 575 psig,
the switch will open and de-energize the unit.
The switch will close again once the discharge
pressure decreases to 460 psig. The high
pressure switch interrupts the thermostat inputs
to the unit. Note: When the switch opens and
then closes, there will be a 3 minute short cycling
delay before the unit can energize.
Defrost Cycle Control
The defrost cycle is controlled by an adaptive
demand defrost board which features:
• Adaptive Demand Defrost algorithm.
• 4 Field selectable defrost termination
temperatures.
• Field selectable delay feature.
• High pressure and low pressure switches.
• Sensing of second stage compressor
demand.
• Test/speed up capability.
• Anti short cycle timer (3 minutes) for
compressor protection.
• On board diagnostics with flashing LED
for quicker troubleshooting. See Table 3
(page 11).
The adaptive Demand Defrost controls the
defrost cycle in response to an adaptive demand
algorithm that uses coil temperature and ambient
temperature. It provides user selectable defrost
termination temperatures (50° F - 80° F coil
temperature).

Defrost function is disabled if coil temperature is
above 35° F. If the ambient sensor is detected as
open or shorted, demand defrost will not operate
and control will revert to time/temperature defrost
operation. If the outdoor coil sensor is detected
as open or shorted, the control will not perform
demand or time/temperature defrost operation.
Note: When the defrost cycle initiates, there
will be a 30 second compressor delay going
into and out of the defrost cycle. This delay may
be removed by removing P6 connector on the
board.
This 2-stage unit will defrost in second stage
regardless of the stage called for by the
thermostat.

SYSTEM OPERATION
Pre-Start Checklist
The following check list should be observed prior
to starting the unit.
 Is the unit level? Unit should be level or slightly
slanted toward the drain for proper condensate
drainage.
 Is the unit installed with the proper clearances
as listed in Figure 2 (page 5)?
 Is the wiring correct according to the wiring
diagram and electrical codes?
 Are all the wiring connections tight? Check the
condenser fan to make sure it turns freely.
 Is the overcurrent protection properly sized?
 Is the thermostat wired correctly? Is it installed
in a proper location?
Start-Up Procedure
The control circuit consists of an anti-short cycle
timer that will not let the compressor re-start
before three (3) minutes have elapsed.
Set the thermostat system mode to OFF, and
the thermostat fan mode to AUTO. Apply power
at the disconnect switch and check the system
operations:
Air Circulation
Leave the thermostat system mode on OFF,
and set the fan mode to ON. Blower should
run continuously. Check the air delivery at the
supply registers and adjust register openings
for balanced air distribution. Examine ductwork
for leaks or obstruction if insufficient air is
detected.
Set the thermostat fan mode to AUTO.The blower
should stop running.
System Heating
Set the thermostat system mode to HEAT and
the fan mode to AUTO. Change the thermostat
temperature selector above the existing room
temperature and check for the discharge of warm
air at the supply registers.
System Cooling
Set the thermostat’s system mode to COOL and
the fan mode to AUTO. Change the thermostat
temperature selector below the existing room
temperature. Allow the cooling system to operate
for several minutes and check for the discharge
of cool air at the supply registers.
Short Cycle Protection
The control circuit is equipped with a time-delay
feature for protection against short cycling.
With the system operating in the cooling mode,
gradually raise the thermostat temperature
12

setting until the whole system de-energizes.
Immediately lower the thermostat temperature
to the original setting and verify that the indoor
blower is energized. After approximately 3
minutes the compressor and the outdoor fan
will energize.
Emergency Heat
(Available only when Electric heat is supplied)
Set the thermostat’s system mode to EM HT and
the fan mode to either AUTO (intermittent air) or
to ON (continuous air). Change the thermostat’s
temperature selector above the existing room
temperature and check the following:
1. The thermostat auxiliary heat light (RED)
should be on.
2. The heat pump compressor and the fan
should not run; low voltage circuit remains
energized.
3. The blower will run according to the
thermostat’s fan mode setting.
Defrost Test Procedure
1. Terminals R & C must have 18 - 30V between
them for defrost sequences to initiate.
2 With thermostat in heat mode (Y connected to
R), short (and hold) the “TEST” pins together.
NOTE: This energizes the reversing valve to
initiate a forced defrost, bypass the ASCD,
and allow the high stage compressor to turn
on immediately (if the “REMOVE FOR NO
DELAY” jumper at P6 is removed). If the
“REMOVE FOR NO DELAY” jumper at P6 is
installed, the compressor will energize after
a 30 second delay.
3. Remove the short on the “TEST” pins.
• If the Coil temperature is above the Terminate
Temperature setting, the defrost cycle will
terminate (reversing valve de-energizes).
• If the coil temperature is below the Terminate
Temperature setting, the defrost cycle will
continue for 14 minutes (or until the coil
temperature rises above the Terminate
Temperature setting). Short the “TEST” pins
for 1 second or more to force the control
out of defrost and back to heating mode
(reversing valve de-energized). Compressor
will start immediately (if the “REMOVE
FOR NO DELAY” jumper is removed).
NOTE: If the “REMOVE FOR NO DELAY”
jumper is installed, the compressor will
energize after a 30 second delay.
Note: If the Y2 thermostat input is energized (on
a 2-stage system), the second stage turns on.
If the above steps will not initiate a defrost, replace
the defrost board.

Anti Short Cycle Timer Test
The 3 minute time delay feature can be bypassed
by shorting the “TEST” pins together.
Heating Mode
When the “TEST” pins are shorted together
for more than 1 second, the control will switch
between defrost mode and heating mode as
described in the Defrost Test Procedure section
(page 12).
Cooling Mode
When the ‘TEST” pins are shorted together for
more than 1 second, the Anti Short Cycle Timer
will be bypassed.
ADJUSTMENT OF REFRIGERANT
CHARGE:

CAUTION:

determined in step 4, then there is too much
charge in the system. Remove refrigerant and
repeat steps 1 through 3 until the system is
correctly charged.
• If the pressure measured in step 1 is less
than the required liquid refrigerant pressure
determined in step 4, then there is too little
charge in the system. Add refrigerant and
repeat steps 1 through 3 until the system is
correctly charged.
Charging an R-410A Unit in Heating Mode.
1. Evacuate the refrigerant system.
2. Weigh in the proper charge as shown on the
unit rating plate and use the Heating Charging
Tables (pages 16 & 17) as a guide. Tables
reflect conditions at high speed operation. Unit
charge MUST be verified in cooling season.
3. Verify the unit is operating properly according
to the heating functional checkout on page
12.

This heat pump contains liquid
and gaseous refrigerant under
pressure. Adjustment of refrigerant
charge should only be attempted
by qualified, trained personnel
thoroughly familiar with the
equipment and safe responsible
refrigerant handling procedures.
Under no circumstances should
the homeowner attempt to install
and/or service this equipment.
Failure to comply with this warning
could result in equipment damage,
personal injury, or death.
NOTE: The unit must be charged while both first
and second stages are operating.
NOTE: To achieve rated capacity and efficiency
the compressor must be exposed to refrigerant for
at least 24 hours prior to running and then must
be run for a minimum of 12 hours. See Refrigerant
Charging Charts (Figures 11 - 14, pages 14 &
15) for Charging in Cooling Mode.
Charging an R-410A Unit in AC Mode with
Outdoor Temperatures Above 65F.
1. With the system operating at steady-state,
measure the liquid refrigerant pressure in psig
at the service valve.
2. Measure the liquid refrigerant temperature
(° F) at the service valve.
3. For the temperature measured, determine the
required liquid refrigerant pressure from the
appropriate charging charts.
• If the pressure measured in step 1 is greater
than the required liquid refrigerant pressure
