IMPORTANT -- This Document is customer property and is to remain with this unit. Please return to service infbrmation pack
upon completion of work.
These instructions do not cover all variations in systems
nor provide for every possible contingency to be met in
connection with installation. All phases of this installa-
tion must comply with NATIONAL, STATE AND LOCAL
CODES. Should further information be desired or should
particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently fbr
the purchaser's purposes, the matter should be referred to your
installing dealer or local distributor.
A, GENERAL
NOTICE: These outdoor units, except for the TWPO6OD,
may be used with indoor units equipped with Capillary
Tube, Thermostatic Expansion Valve or the Accutron TM
Flow Control Check Valve (F.C.C.V.) assembly for refrig-
erant flow control. The TWP06OD outdoor units are only
approved with indoor units equipped with thermostatic
expansion valve refrigerant controls.
Check for transportation damage after unit is uncrated. Report
promptly, to the carrier, any damage found to the unit.
To determine the electrical power requirements of the unit, refer
to the nameplate of the unit. The electrical power available must
agree with that listed on the nameplate.
The Weathertron ®Heat Pump has been designed and manufac-
tured to withstand and operate in severe winter conditions.
However, there are precautionary steps which should be taken at
the time of installation which will help assure the efficient
operation of the unit. It is recommended that these precau-
tions be taken for units being installed in areas where
snow accumulation and prolonged below freezing tem-
peratures occur.
1. Units should be elevated 3 to 12 inches above the pad or
rooftop, depending on local weather. This additional height will
allow be tter dra inc_ge of snow and ice (melted during d@x)st cycle)
prior to its refbeezin_. This should prevent a build-up of ice
around the unit which occurs when unit is not elevated. Insure
that drain holes in unit base pan are not obstructed
preventing draining of defrost water.
2. If possible, avoid locations that are likely to accumulate snow
drif_bs. If not possible, a snow drif_b barrier should be installed
around the unit to prevent a build-up of snow on the sides of the
unit and should be of sufficient distance from the unit to prevent

TOP DISCHARGE --- UNRESTRICTED
5FT. ABOVE UNIT
restriction of airflow to and fi'om the unit. Also allow for proper
maintenance space. The barrier should be constructed of mate-
rials which will blend in with the building design.
3. Avoid locating the unit where condensation and freezing of
deli'ost vapor may annoy the customer. For instance, installing
the unit under a bedroom, kitchen, or picture window may be
annoying to the customer since condensate and fog will occur
during the defrost cycle.
4. Avoid locating the unit under the eaves or other overhead
structures as sizeable icicles may form and the unit may be
damaged by these falling icicles.
Since the manufacturer has a policy of continuous
product improvement, it reserves the right to change
specifications and design without notice
I;TALLER'S G
B. LOCATION &PREPARATION OF THE UNIT
1. The unit should be set on a level support pad at least as large
as the unit base pan.
2. The support pad must NOT be in direct contact with any
structure. The unit must be positioned a minimum of 12" from
any wall or surrounding shrubbery to insure adequate airflow. A
30" clearance must be provided in front of control box (access
panels) & any other side requiring service access to meet Na-
tional Electrical Code. The unit must be far enough away from
any structure to prevent excess roofrun-offwater from pouring
directly on the unit.
3. The top discharge area must be unrestricted for at least five
(5) f_et above the unit.
4. When the outdoor unit is mounted on a roof, be sure the roof
will support the unit's weight. Properly selected vibration
isolators are recommended to prevent transmission to the build-
ing structure.
5. The maximum length of refrigerant lines from outdoor to
indoor unit should NOT exceed sixty (60) f_et.
6. Maximum diffbrence in elevation should not exceed sixty
(60) feet.
NOTE: Consult Ref)'t:erantPtpuzgSoflware ,Pub.No. _2-3312-01.
7. Locate and install indoor coil or blower coil in accordance with
instruction included with that unit.
8. A pull-thru hole for the refrigerant lines should be provided
of sufficient size to allow the passage of both liquid and suction
lines.
9. Determine if adequate power supply is available and correct
according to nameplate specifications.
10. Install the unit in accordance with national, state, and local
codes.
TM
C. ACCUTRON FLOW CONTROL VALVE
If the indoor unit System Refrigerant Flow control is an
Aecutron TM orifice and check valve assembly, an orifice size
change may be necessary.
The outdoor model determines the required orifice size. Check
the listed orifice size on nameplate of the selected outdoor model.
If the indoor u nit is factory shipped with a diffbrent orifice size,
the orifice must be changed to obtain system rated performance.
IMPORTANT: The outdoor unit is shipped with the
proper size orifice and a stick-on orifice size label in an
envelope attached to the outdoor unit. Outdoor unit
nameplate will have correct orifice size specified as
BAYFCCV --- A for rated performance.
D. INSTALLING REFRIGERANT LINES
Pressure taps are provided on the service valve plate and on
service valve of outdoor unit for compressor suction and liquid
pressures.
The indoor end of recommended refrigerant line sets may be
straight or with a 90 degree bend, depending upon situation

requirements. This should be thoroughly checked out befbre
ordering refrigerant line sets.
The gas line nmst always be insulated.
The units are factory charged with the system charge required
when using fil_een (15) feet of connecting line. Unit nameplate
charge is the stone. Final refrigerant charge adjustment is
necessary, use the Charge Charts in the outdoor unit Service
Facts.
1. Determine the most practical way to run the lines.
2. Consider types of bends to be made and space limitations.
NOTE: Large diameter tubing will be very: di[ficult to rebend once
it has been shc:ped.
3. Determine the best starting point for routing the refrigerant
tubing-INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE STRUCTURE.
4. Provide a pull-thru hole of sufficient size to allow both liquid
and gas lines plus fittings to clear. The location of this hole (if
practical) should be just about the wall plate which is resting on
the fbundation.
5. Be sure the tubing is of sufticient length.
6. Uncoil the tubing --- do not kink or dent.
7. Route the tubing maMng all required bends and properly
secure the tubing before making connections.
8. To prevent a noise within the building structure due to
vibration transmission from the refrigerant lines, the following
precautions should be taken:
a. When the refrigerant lines have to be fastened to floor
joists or other framing in a structure, use isolation type hangers.

b. Isolation hangers should also be used when refrigerant
lines are run in stud spaces or enclosed ceilings.
c. Where the refrigerant lines run through a wall or sill, they
should be insulated and isolated.
d. Isolate the lines fl'om all ductwork.
E. SERVICE VALVE OPERATION
BRASS LIQUID AND GAS LINE SERVICE VALVE
OPERATION
The Service Valves are factory shipped in the seated position to
hold factory charge. The pressure tap service port (when de-
pressed) opens only to the field brazing side of the valve when the
valve is in the seated position. The liquid line valve is not a back
seating valve (see WARNING below).
WARNING: Extremecautionshouldbeex-
ercised so the internal steel stem retaining ring is not
damaged by backing out the valve stem when opening the
valve. If the valve stem is forced out past the retaining
ring, system pressure could force the valve stem out of the
valve body. If the retaining ring is missing, do not attempt
to open the valve. See Figure 3.
BRASS GAS LINE BALL SERVICE VALVE
The Brass Gas Line Ball Service Valve is shipped in the closed
position to hold the factory refrigerant charge. The pressure tap
service port (when depressed) opens only to the field brazing side
when the valve is in the closed position.
The Gas Line Service Valve is full open with a 1/4 turn counter-
clockwise. See Figure 4.
BRAZING REFRIGERANT LINES
1. Boil)re brazing, remove plugs from external copper stub
tubes. (?lean internal and external surfaces of stub tubes prior
to brazing.
2. Cut and fit tubing minimizing the use of sharp 90 ° bends.
3. Insulate the entire gas line and its fittings.
4. Do NOT allow uninsulated liquid line to come in direct
contact with bare gas line.
5. Precautions should be taken to avoid heat damage to
the pressure tap valve core during brazing. It is recom-
mended that the pressure tap port valve core be removed
and a wet rag wrapped around the valve body.
NOTICE: Use care to make sure that no moisture enters
pressure tap port, while wet rag is being used.
6. Remove braze shield from clear plastic bag. Soak pad in
water and place over suction and liquid lines to protect unit
finish. See Figure 5. Discard pad when finished with brazing.
7. Use a Dry Nitrogen Purge and Brazing Alloy without flux
when brazing the field line to the copper factory connection. Flow
dry nitrogen into either valve pressure tap port, thru the tubing
and out the other port while brazing.
8. Braze using accepted good brazing techniques.
LEAK CHECK
CAM TI ON: Inscroncompressorapplications,
dome temperatures may be hot. Do not touch top of
compressor, may cause minor to severe burning.
IMPORTANT: Replace pressure tap port valve core be-
fore attaching hoses for evacuation.
After brazing operation of refrigerant lines to both the outdoor
and indoor unit is completed, the field brazed connections must
be checked for leaks. Pressurize through the service valve ports,
the indoor unit and field refrigerant lines with dry nitrogen to
360 psi. Use soap bubbles or other leak-checking methods to see
that all field joints are leak-free! If not, release pressure; then
repair!

SYSTEM EVACUATION
NOTE: Since the outdoor unit has a refi'igerant charge, the gas
and liquid line valves must remain closed.
1. Upon completion ofleak check, evacuate the refi'igerant lines
and indoor coil before opening the gas and liquid line valves.
2. Attach appropriate hoses from mani%ld gauge to gas and
liquid line pressure taps.
NOTE: Unnecessary switching of hoses cart be avoided and
complete evacuation of all lines leading to sealed system cart be
accomplished with mani[bld center hose and connecting branch
hose to a <ylinder of HCFC-22 and vacuum pump.
3. Attach center hose of mani%ld gauges to vacuum pump.
4. Evacu ate until the micron gauge reads no higher than 350 mi-
crons.
5. Close off valve to vacuum pump and observe the micron
gauge. Ifgau ge pressure rises above 500 microns in one (1) minute,
then evacuation is incomplete or system has a leak.
6. If vacuum gauge does not rise above 500 microns in one
(1) minute, the evacuation should be complete.
7. With a vacuum pump and micron gauge blanked off, open
valve on HCFC-22 cylinder and charge refrigerant lines and
indoor coil with vapor to tank pressure of HCFC-22 supply.
NOTE: DO NOT VENT REFRIGERANT INTO THE
ATMOSPHERE.
8. Close valve on HCFC-22 supply cylinder. Close valves on
manifbld gauge set and remove refrigerant charging hoses fi'om
liquid and gas pressure tap ports.
NOTE: A 3/16" Allen wrench is required to open liquid line
service valve. A 1/4" Open End or Adjustable wrench is required
PAGE 4
to ()pen gas line valve. An Adjustable or 314" Open End wrench
is required to take off the valve stem crop.
9. The liquid line shut-off valve can now be opened. Remove
shut-off' valve cap. Fully insert hex wrench into the stem and
baekou t counterclockwise until valve stem just touches retainer
ring (approximately five (5) turns) observing WARNING state-
ment. See Figure 3.
10. Replace liquid service pressure tap port cap and valve stem
cap. These caps MUST BE REPLACED to prevent leaks.
Replace valve stem and pressure tap cap finger tight, then
tighten an additional 1/6 turn.
11. The gas valve can now be opened. Open the gas valve by
removing the shut-offvalve cap and turning the valve stem 1/4
turn counterclockwise, using 1/4" Open End orAdjustable wrench.
See Figure 4.
12. The gas valve is now open fbr refrigerant flow. Replace valve
stem cap to prevent leaks. See Figure 4.
If refrigerant lines are longer than 15 f>et and!or a different size
than recommended, it will be necessary to adjust system refrig-
erant charge upon completion of installation.
F. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARN IN G: Wheninstalling or servicing
this equipment, ALWAYS exercise basic safety precau-
tions to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
1. Power wiring and grounding of equipment must comply with
local codes.
2. Power supply must agree with equipment nameplate.
3. Install a separate disconnect switch at the outdoor unit.
4. Ground the outdoor unit per local code requirements.
5. Provide flexible electrical conduit whenever vibration trans-
mission may create a noise problem within the structure.
6. The use of color coded low voltage wire is recommended to
simplif_¢ connections between the outdoor unit, the thermostat,
and the indoor unit.

7. Table i defines maximum total length of low voltage wiring
from outdoor unit, to indoor unit, and to thermostat.
8. Mount the indoor thermostat in accordance with instruction
included with the thermostat. Wire per appropriate hook-up
diagram (included in these instructions).
G. ELECTRICAL HEATERS
Electric heaters, if used, are to be installed in the air handling
device according to the instructions accompanying the air han-
dler and the heaters.
H. START KIT
All single phase units, except TWP060D, have quick start com-
ponents which are factory installed.
I. OUTDOOR THERMOSTAT
An outdoor thermostat TAYSTAT250A may be field installed.
For data see wiring diagrmn attached to unit and instruction
sheet packaged with outdoor thermostat.
J. DEFROSTCONTROL
The demand defrost control measures heat pump outdoor ambi-
ent temperature with a sensor located outside the outdoor coil.
A second sensor located on the outdoor coil is used to measure the
coil temperature. The difference between the ambient and the
colder coil temperature is the ditI_rence or delta-T measure-
merit. This delta-T measurement is representative of the oper-
ating state and relative capacity of the heat pump system. By
measuring the change in delta-T, we can determine the need for
defi'ost. The coil sensor also serves to sense outdoor coil tempera-
ture for termination of the defi'ost cycle.
FAULT DETECTION
A fault condition is indicated by the flashing light on the defl'ost
control inside the heat pump control box.
In normal operation, the defl'ost control light will flash once each
second. If the light is flashing more than once per second or not-
at-all, refer to the service manual for that unit.

K. OPERATIONAL AND CHECKOUT PROCEDURES
Final phases of this installation are the unit Operational and
Checkout Procedures which are found on page 8 of this instruc-
tion.
L. COMPRESSOR SUMP HEAT
After all electrical wiring is complete, SET THE THERMOSTAT
SYSTEM SWITCH IN THE OFF POSITION SO COMPRESSOR
WILL NOT RUN, and apply power by closing the system main
disconnect switch. This will activate the compressor sump heat.
Do not change the Thermostat System Switch until power has
been applied long enough to evaporate any liquid of HCFC-22 in
the compressor (30 minutes for each pound of HCFC-22 in the
system as shown on the nameplate). Following this procedure
will prevent compressor damage at the initial startup.

SYSTEM OPERATIONAL CHECK
IMPORTANT: To prevent compressor damage which may result from the presence of LIQUID refrigerant in the
crankcase, these procedures should be followed at initial Start-Up and at anytime the power has been off for 12 hours
or more.
1. Before proceeding with this "Operational Check," go to "Compressor Sump Heat Section" of this instruction to
determine the time compressor heat has been "ON," and make entry dthe designated lines, in Step 2.
2. Start-Up Time A.M./P.M. Power Applied Time A.M./P.M.
Time Lapse Hours Minutes.
3. If Steps 1 and 2 cannot be used, then place thermostat's system switch in the "OFF" position and apply power
by closing system disconnect switch. This energizes compressor heat and evaporates the liquid in the
crankcase. TO EVAPORATE LIQUID ALLOW AT LEAST ONE-HALF HOUR PER POUND (HCFC-22), AS
SHOWN ON UNIT NAMEPLATE.
OPERATING PRESSURES: After the unit has operated in the cooling mode for a short period of time, install
pressure gauges on the gauge ports of the discharge and suction line valves. Check the suction and discharge
pressures and compare them to the normal operating pressures provided in the unit's Service Facts.
NOTE: Use the pressures from Service Facts to determine the unit refrigerant charge.
To charge the system accurately, use superheat charging, or pressures
depending on flow control.
4. Except as required for safety while servicing: DO NOT OPEN SYSTEM DISCONNECT SWITCH.
SUPPLEMENTARY HEATERS CHECKOUT PROCEDURES, IF USED
