3. User’s Information
DX (Direct Expansion) Package Units and DX
Units with Remote Condenser
Never cut off the main power supply to the unit, except
for complete shutdown.
Always control the system from the thermostat, or
control panel, and never at the main power supply
(except in an emergency, or complete shutdown of the
system).
During the cooling season, if the airflow is reduced due
to dirty air filters, or other reasons, the cooling coils will
get too cold and result in excessive liquid return to the
compressor. As the liquid concentration accumulates,
oil is washed out of the compressor leaving it starved
for lubrication.
The compressors must be on a minimum of four
minutes, and off for a minimum of five minutes. The
cycle rate must not exceed eight starts per hour.
THE COMPRESSOR LIFE WILL BE SERIOUSLY
SHORTENED BY RESULTING REDUCED
LUBRICATION, AND THE PUMPING OF EXCESS
AMOUNTS OF LIQUID OIL AND REFRIGERANT.
Hydronic Cooling and Heating
Non-compressorized units may contain chilled water
and/or hot water coils. Units are provided with internal
header connections for field piping. Vent and drain
connections can be accessed within the unit.
Piping is to be run via the 4” x 7” piping chase located
in the cabinet floor inside the coil compartment,
accessible through the coil compartment access door
on the front of the unit. Piping to coil header
connections must be supported independently of the
coil to prevent undue stress from weakening
connections over time. Allow adequate flexibility for
thermal expansion of the piping.
Use proper glycol solutions or brines to help prevent
coil freezing. Consult the designer or project engineer
if you have concerns about lower than normal entering
air temperatures (typically air temperatures below
40°F) that could cause coils to freeze.
Gas or Electric Heating
The system is designed to heat a given amount of air
each minute of operation. If the amount of air heated
is greatly reduced (approximately 1/3 capacity), the
heat exchanger (or heater coil if electric) temperature
will increase above acceptable levels, and will result in
shut down by a high temperature safety switch
incorporated into either the heat exchanger, or the
heater area.
Failure to observe the following instructions may
result in premature failure of your system, and
possible voiding of the warranty.
WARNING
GAS HEAT UNITS – If heat shuts off due to safety
switch, or gas supply shut off failure, then always
close manual gas valve to unit prior to any
electrical service. Prolonged overheating of the
heat exchanger will shorten its life.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,
service, or maintenance can cause property
damage, personal injury, or loss of life. Installation
and service must be performed by a qualified
installer, service agency, or if gas fired units, the
gas supplier. Refer to installation instructions
provided with the unit, and this manual.

Multiple Unit Operation
When several units are used in conditioning the space,
and any are combination heating-cooling units, all
system thermostat switches must be set at either
heating, cooling, or set at ‘OFF’. Do not run part of a
system switched to an opposite mode. Cooling only
units should be switched to ‘OFF’ at the thermostat
during the heating season.
Wiring Diagrams
A complete set of unit specific wiring diagrams in both
ladder and point-to-point form are laminated in plastic
and affixed to the inside of the service access door.
Condensate Piping
A drain trap must be connected to the drain connection
located on the back of the unit. If codes require a
condensate drain line, it should be the same pipe size
as the drain nipple and should pitch downward for its
entire length toward the drain.
A “P” Trap is factory supplied and shipped in the
control access compartment for field installation. An
air break should be used with long runs of condensate
lines.
Normal Thermostat Operation

-Set the fan switch to ‘AUTO’
-Do not change temperature setting
-With these settings the system is shut down,
except for the 24-volt control system power, and
the compressor crankcase heater (approx. 60W).
Night and Vacancy Operation
To reduce the operation time during low load periods,
it is recommended that the temperature setting be
increased by 5°F during non-occupied periods of the
cooling season in commercial buildings, such as nights
and weekends. Decrease the temperature by 10°F at
these times during the heating season.
Gas Heating System
The heating section is for use with natural gas supply
pressure of 6” to 10.5” w.g. The unit may also utilize
propane gas (after installation of a field conversion kit)
with a supply pressure to the valve of 11” to 12” w.g.
The rating plate on the furnace must be inspected to
make sure the unit is stamped for proper gas. A 1/8”
pressure tap should be field supplied by the installer in
the piping just ahead of the gas valve. The pressure
tap on the outlet end of the gas valve can be checked
to verify manifold pressure of 3.2” to 3.5” w.g. for
natural gas or 11” to 12” w.g. for propane.
A centrifugal blower that draws in outside air through a
protected opening supplies combustion air.
This induced draft blower introduces the air to the
blower tubes, which assures even primary and
secondary airflow.
Gas heating units use AAON’s patented high efficiency
twisted tube, or dimpled heat exchanger. All heating
system and related safety controls are 100% tested on
each unit prior to shipment.

Modulating Hot Gas Reheat and Hot Gas
Bypass Systems on DX Units
Some DX cooling units may contain Modulating Hot
Gas Reheat (MHGRH) and/or Hot Gas Bypass
(HGBP) systems as factory installed options. Piping
and valves for these systems will be located on the
inside wall of the condenser section. The condenser
top must be removed for access to these components.
Filter Sizes
Cabinet Construction
All HB units are insulated with closed-cell polyurethane
foam, which has twice the R-value of fiberglass
insulation. All cabinet walls and roof use double-wall

Heating & Cooling Systems
GAS HEATING SYSTEM
The units are equipped with a direct spark ignition
system that proves the burner operation with each call
for heat. Power to the ignition control is 24V to reduce
hazards. Burner ignition is by a high intensity spark.
When heat is called for, the cooling system is
inoperable except for the indoor blower motor.
Heating is accomplished by firing gas into the heat
exchanger assembly.
IMPORTANT NOTICE - All gas-fired heat exchangers
are completely tested at the factory before shipment.
This will remove nearly all of the oils that have been
used in the manufacturing process, however trace
amounts may remain. When performing the initial
start-up at the jobsite it is highly recommended that
people, or any other living animals, that may be
sensitive to the residual odors or gases, NOT be
present in the conditioned space during start-up. In all
cases, including the initial factory firing and testing, all
of the gases will be under the minimum acceptable
level of concentration for human occupancy.
ELECTRIC HEATING SYSTEM
Heating is accomplished by passing electrical current
through a specified amount of resistance heaters that
produce the required heat. The indoor blower motor
energizes at the same time as the heaters.
DX COOLING SECTION
All direct expansion refrigeration systems are factory
assembled, charged with refrigerant, tested, and
operated. These systems include liquid line filter
driers, expansion valves, and fully hermetic scroll
compressors. Compressors are equipped with a
positive pressure forced lubrication system. The air-
cooled condenser coil is constructed of copper tubes
and mechanically bonded aluminum fins, and air is
pulled through by a propeller fan. The evaporator coil
is draw through type constructed of copper tubes and
mechanically bonded aluminum fins.
These appliances have been found acceptable with
applicable provisions of “ANSI/UL 1995” and current
“C.S.A. Standard C22.2” by E.T.L.
CHILLED WATER or NON-COMPRESSORIZED
COOLING SECTION
Chilled water, or non-compressorized units, have
factory-installed coils. Systems are provided with
internal header connections for field piping.
Coils are constructed of copper tubes and
mechanically bonded aluminum fins.
Always wear hand and eye protection when
handling, installing, servicing, or maintaining
equipment. Sharp or pointed edges, moving parts,
and flying debris may cause personal injury.
WARNING
DO NOT DRILL OR PUNCH HOLES IN THE UNIT
– The walls of this unit are foam insulated. Field
modifications to the unit casing may compromise
the unit’s superior insulating capability, in which
case excessive leakage, or condensation may
occur.
CAUTION
Very high temperatures can damage foam core
insulation. High heat may cause off gassing of
harmful fumes. Do not apply direct flame to unit
cabinet.
WARNING
Those sensitive to odors or gases from trace
amounts of residual oils should NOT be present in
the conditioned space during the start-up of a gas-
fired installation.

The HB package unit has a vertical air discharge.
There must be at least 48 inches of clearance
above the vertical air discharge. There must not be
any obstruction above the equipment that may
deflect discharge air back into the unit’s air inlets.
It is advisable to never place the unit directly under
an overhang. Condensing units should not be
installed in an enclosure or pit that is deeper than
the height of the unit. When the unit is installed in
a recessed area the coil side clearance is doubled
to 40 inches for inlet air.

13
Setting the Unit
Units should always be installed level, and above
water drainage routes. Unit operation can be affected
by wind. It is good practice to position unit condensing
sections away from prevailing winds.
Protective Shipping Brackets
Before setting the unit into its final position on the slab
or curb, be sure to remove the protective shipping
brackets, or “bumpers” from the perimeter of the unit’s
base.
Ground Setting
Set the unit on a solid slab high enough above the soil
grade to allow water to drain away from the base of
the unit. The unit should be set on a slab that has
been placed over compact, level earth. A poured
concrete (permanent) slab is recommended.
Roof Setting w/ Curb
Mount roof curbs first, and locate so duct connections
will clear any structural members of the building.
When using the factory curb, make openings in roof
decking large enough to allow for duct penetrations
and workspace only. Do not make openings larger
than necessary. Set the curb to coincide with the
openings. CURB MUST BE LEVEL.
Hoisting
Lifting lugs are provided on each corner of the top of
the unit.
If cables or chains are used to hoist the unit, they must
be the same length, and care should be taken to
prevent damage to the unit.
It is recommended that the unit be hoisted with the
outside air hood (if present) in the shipped position.
However, the unit may be hoisted with the outside air
hood in an open position.
Before lifting unit, be sure that all shipping material is
removed. Secure hooks and cables at all lifting
points/lugs provided on the unit.
Prior to setting the unit onto the roof curb, be sure that
the gasket material has been applied to all curb
surfaces meeting with the unit.
Hoist unit to a point directly above the curb and duct
openings. Carefully lower and align the unit’s utility
and duct openings so the unit perimeter fits around the
curb. Make sure the unit is properly seated on the
curb and is level.
Outside Air Hood (Optional)
Units equipped with outside air intake will have an
outside air hood. The outside air hood must be
opened prior to unit operation.
Remove shipping screws from each side of the hood in
the “closed” position. Lift hood to the “open” position,
seal flange, and secure with sheet metal screws.
Outdoor air intake adjustments should be made
according to building ventilation, or local code
requirements.
PRIOR TO SETTING UNIT ON CURB – To ensure
proper isolation and seal between the unit and the
curb, gasket material MUST BE APPLIED to the
curb on ALL SURFACES meeting with the unit.

Electrical
Check the unit data plate to make sure it matches the
power supply. Connect power to the unit according to
the wiring diagram provided with the unit. The power
and control wiring may be brought in through the utility
entry. Do not run power and control wires in the same
conduit.
Protect the branch circuit in accordance with code
requirements. The units must be electrically grounded
in accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI /
NFPA No. 70. In Canada use current C.S.A. Standard
C22.1, Canadian Electric Code Part 1.
Connect power wiring to the terminal block, or optional
disconnect switch. The manufacturer has done all
wiring beyond this point, and cannot be modified
without affecting the unit’s agency and/or safety
certification, and warranty.
Power can be applied to the unit after the control
wiring is connected.
Standard Control Board
This printed circuit board is the central control point for
all the electrical components in the unit. Low voltage
terminals are provided for connection to the wall
mounted thermostat of the customer’s selection, or as
furnished by AAON.
Confirm the optional features that were specified and
purchased with the HB conditioner. This will allow
proper selection of the number of control options listed
below that may need additional wiring.
Install gas fired units so that the flue discharge
vent is located a minimum of 120” from openings
through which combustion products can enter the

2 Step Compressor Cooling Models
−The HB models with a 2 step cooling compressor
may use a 2 step cooling thermostat with the R, G,
Y1, Y2 & W terminals connected to the similarly
labeled terminals on the Control Board in the HB
unit.
−These HB models can also be connected to a
single step cooling thermostat with the Y terminal
on the thermostat connected to the Y2 terminal on
the Control Board in the HB unit. A built-in time
delay in the Control Board will cycle the 2 stages
of cooling as required.
Multiple Stage Heating
−HB models with 2 or 3 stage heating should have
the W1, W2 and W3 terminals on the thermostat
connected to the similarly labeled terminals on the
Control Board in the HB unit.
−These models can also be connected to a single
step heating thermostat with the W terminal on the
thermostat connected to the W2 terminal on the
Control Board in the HB unit for 2 step heating or
the W3 terminal for 3 step heating. A built-in time
delay in the Control Board will cycle the stages of
heating as required.
Programmable Thermostats
If a programmable thermostat be used, then the C
terminal on the thermostat should be connected to the
C or GND terminal on the Control Board.
Economizer Option
The economizer option is used to provide cooling at
lower outdoor air temperatures and to provide a
quantity of ventilation air to the occupied space. The
economizer option can be selected with either a
sensible outdoor air temperature sensor or an enthalpy
sensor that measures the heat content in the outdoor
air. The economizer controller can be field installed or
factory installed by AAON as selected by the
customer.
Supply Air Temperature Sensor
A supply air temperature sensor is factory wired and
provided within the equipment at the end of a coil of
wire. This sensor must be installed in the downstream
supply air ductwork at a sufficient distance from the
equipment to provide a correctly mixed supply air
temperature back to the unit control board.
Factory Installed
When factory installed the control board will use the
outdoor air sensor and the cooling signal from the
thermostat to provide a first stage of cooling using the
outside air when possible before starting the
compressor and mechanical cooling cycle. The
thermostat wiring to the control board with single or
multi-stages should be wired as listed previously.
Field Installed
When the control is field installed the 2 to 10 VDC
signal for the economizer damper motor must be wired
to the Control Circuit Board in the HB unit. See Figure
18a. Note that the jumper must be moved to the
“external” position and the signal wired to the ECONO
POS and GND terminals on the control board.
Return Air Bypass Option
The Return Air Bypass option is used to provide
additional moisture removal capacity to the HB unit.
For this application a humidistat must also be installed
in the conditioned space to provide a signal to initiate
the dehumidification. The humidistat may be
purchased from AAON or from others.
A return air bypass control system by others may be
field installed as selected by the customer instead of
factory installed by AAON.
Factory Installed
The control board in the HB unit must be wired to the
humidistat in the occupied space at the R and RH
terminals. The thermostat wiring to the control board
with single or multi-stages should be installed as listed
previously.
When the Humidistat is calling for moisture removal
from the occupied space, the compressor will operate
with the return air bypass damper in the open position
and the supply fan running in the low speed mode. If
the Thermostat calls for cooling, the bypass damper
will close and the fan will operate at high speed until
the thermostat is satisfied.
Field Installed
When the control is field installed, the 0 to 10 VDC
signal for the return air bypass damper motor must be
wired to the Control Circuit Board in the HB unit. See
Figure 16a. Note that the jumper must be moved to
the “external” position and the signal wired to the RAB
and GND terminals on the control board.

Modulating Hot Gas Reheat
The modulating hot gas reheat option is used to
provide additional moisture removal capacity to the HB
unit. Hot refrigerant gas discharged from the
compressor is sent as needed to a reheat coil
mounted immediately after the cooling coil.
For this application a humidistat must also be installed
in the conditioned space to provide a signal to initiate
the dehumidification by operating the hot gas reheat to
deliver dehumidified air at a specified temperature into
the occupied space. The humidistat may be
purchased from AAON or from others. The thermostat
wiring to the control board with single or multi-stages
should be installed as listed previously.
Supply Air Temperature Sensor
A supply air temperature sensor is factory wired and
provided within the equipment at the end of a coil of
wire. This must be installed in the downstream supply
air ductwork at a sufficient distance from the
equipment to provide a correct mixed air temperature
to the unit control board.
Reheated Supply Air Temperature
The desired discharge air temperature setpoint can be
preset and later adjusted by using the DIP switch
labeled SETPOINT on the circuit board. See Figure
18a for the location and DIP switch setting instructions.
The controller will allow the user to set a Supply Air
Temperature Setpoint between 50°F and 100°F. If a
value of less than 50°F is set, then the controller will
default to a 50°F Supply Air Temperature Setpoint. A
value greater than 100° F will cause the unit to default
to a 100°F Supply Air Temperature Setpoint.
Supply Air Temperature Reset Limit
The controller will also allow a reset of the temperature
by a 0 to 10 VDC signal from an outside source to the
terminal as shown in Figure 18a. The reset range is
determined by the setting configured on the DIP switch
labeled RESET LIMIT. The controller will reset the
supply air temperature setpoint from the value set on
the SETPOINT DIP switch to the value set on the
RESET LIMIT DIP switch, as the Reset Input (MHGRV
RSET) signal is increased from 0 Volts to 10 Volts.
Example:
We want the Discharge Air Temperature Setpoint to
increase from 55°F when the Reset Input signal is at 0
Volts, to 75°F when the Reset Input signal is at 10
Volts. • Set the SETPOINT DIP Switch to 55°F
• Set the RESET LIMIT DIP Switch to 75°F
The discharge air temperature will now increase from
55°F to 75°F as the Reset Input voltage signal ramps
from 0 Volts to 10 Volts.
Note: It is possible to create a “reverse acting” control
sequence. Using the temperatures from the example
above by setting the SETPOINT DIP Switch to 75°F
and the RESET LIMIT DIP Switch to 55°F the reset
would be reverse acting. In this case the controller will
maintain a 75°F discharge temperature when the
Reset Input signal is at 0 Volts and will reduce it to
55°F when the Reset Input signal is at 10 Volts.
Lockout Modes
Gas Heating
The heating mode will be locked out if the ignition
system safety monitors trip 3 times during a call for
heating.
Electric Heating
The heating mode will be locked out if the high
temperature limit switch trips 3 times during a call for
heating.
Cooling
The cooling mode will be locked out if the low pressure
switch safety switch trips 3 times during a call for
cooling or dehumidification.
Cooling operation will be locked out if the Outside Air
Sensor is missing or defective.
The economizer and reheat operation during
dehumidification will be locked out if the Supply Air
Sensor is missing or defective.
To reset the lockout condition, either remove the call
for heating, cooling, dehumidification, or cycle the
power to the HB unit.
