Conversion to Vertical Downflow: A vertical upflow
unit may be converted to vertical downflow. Remove
the door and indoor coil and reinstall 180° from original
position. See Fig.3-2.
IMPORTANT: To comply with certification agencies and
the National Electric Code for downflow application, the
circuit breaker(s) on field-installed electric heater kits
must be re-installed per procedure below so that the
breaker switch “on” position and marking is up and,
“off” position and marking is down.
To rotate breaker(s): Rotate one breaker set (circuit)
at a time starting with the one on the right. Loosen
both lugs on the load side of the breaker. (Make
sure that wires are identified and are reinstalled into
proper breaker). Wires are bundled with wire ties,
one bundle going to the right lug and one bundle
going to the left lug.
Using a screwdriver or pencil, lift white plastic tab
with hole away from breaker until breaker releases
from mounting opening.
With breaker held in hand, rotate breaker so that
“on” position is up, “off” position is down with unit in
planned vertical mounting position. Insert right wire
bundle into top right breaker lug, ensuring all
strands of all wires are inserted fully into lug, and no
wire insulation is in lug.
Tighten lug as tight as possible while holding circuit
breaker. Check wires and make sure each wire is
secure and none are loose. Repeat for left wire
bundle in left top circuit breaker lug.
Replace breaker by inserting breaker mounting tab
opposite white pull tab in opening, hook mounting
tab over edge in opening.
With a screwdriver or pencil, pull the blue tab with
hole away from breaker while setting that side of
breaker into opening. When breaker is in place,
release tab, locking circuit breaker into location in
opening.
Repeat above operation for remaining breaker(s) (if
more than one is provided).
Replace single point wiring jumper bar, if it is used,
on line side of breaker and tighten securely.
Double check wires and lugs to make sure all are
secure and tight. Check to make sure unit wiring to
circuit breaker load lugs match that shown on the
unit wiring diagram.
CAUTION
When using the unit with electrical heater, the
switch is used only for electrical heater on the
front of panel.
Horizontal right is the default factory configuration for the
units.
Horizontal left isn’t the default factory configuration for
the units.
Conversion to Horizontal left: A vertical upflow unit may
be converted to horizontal left by removing indoor coil
assembly and reinstalling coil as shown for left hand air
supply.
Rotate unit into the downflow position, with the coil
compartment on top and the blower compartment on
bottom. See Fig. 3-2.
Reinstall the indoor coil 180° from original position.
Ensure the retaining channel is fully engaged with
the coil rail. See Fig. 3-2.
Secondary drain pan kits are recommended when
the unit is configured for the horizontal position over
a finished ceiling and/or living space.

CAUTION
Horizontal units must be configured for right
hand air supply or left hand air supply. Horizontal
drain pan must be located under indoor coil.
Failure to use the drain pan can result in
property damage.
3.4 Installation In An Unconditioned
Space
IMPORTANT: There are two pairs of coil rails in the air
handler for default and counter flow application. If the air
handler is installed in an unconditioned space, the two
unused coil rails should be removed to minimize air
handler surface sweating. The coil rails can be easily
removed by taking off the 6 mounting screws from both
sides of the cabinet.
Conversion in Horizontal Direction: Horizontal
right-hand supply can be changed to horizontal
left-hand supply by removing the indoor coil and
reinstalling 180° from original.
4. ELECTRICAL WIRING
Field wiring must comply with the National Electric Code
(C.E.C. in Canada) and any applicable local ordinance.
WARNING
Disconnect all power to unit before installing or
servicing. More than one disconnect switch may
be required to de-energize the equipment.
Hazardous voltage can cause severe personal
injury or death.
4.1 Power Wiring
It is important that proper electrical power is available
for connection to the unit model being installed. See the
unit nameplate, wiring diagram and electrical data in
the installation instructions.
If required, install a branch circuit disconnect of
adequate size, located within sight of, and readily
accessible to the unit.
IMPORTANT: After the Electric Heater is installed,
units may be equipped with one two or three 30-60
amp. circuit breakers. These breaker(s) protect the
internal wiring in the event of a short circuit and
serve as a disconnect. Circuit breakers installed
within the unit do not provide over-current protection
of the supply wiring and therefore may be sized
larger than the branch circuit protection.
Supply circuit power wiring must be 75°C minimum
copper conductors only. See Electrical Data in this
section for ampacity, wire size and circuit protector
requirement. Supply circuit protective devices may
be either fuses or “HACR” type circuit breakers.
Power wiring may be connected to either the right,
left side or top. Three 7/8
"
, 1-3/8
"
, 1-3/4
"
dia.
concentric knockouts are provided for connection of
power wiring to unit.
Power wiring is connected to the power terminal
block in unit electric cabinet.
4.3 Grounding
4.2 Control Wiring
IMPORTANT: Class 2 low voltage control wiring should
not be run in conduit with main power wiring and must
be separated from power wiring, unless class 1 wire of
proper voltage rating is used.
Low voltage control wiring should be 18 Awg.
color-coded. For lengths longer than 100 ft., 16
Awg. wire should be used.
Low voltage control connections are made to low
voltage pigtails extending from top of air handler
(upflow position - see Fig 2-2).
Connections for control wiring are made with wire
nuts. Control wiring knockouts (5/8
"
and 7/8
"
) are
also provided on the right and left side of the unit for
side connection.
See wiring diagrams attached to indoor and outdoor
sections to be connected.
Make sure, after installation, separation of control
wiring and power wiring has been maintained.
Grounding may be accomplished by grounding
metal conduit when installed in accordance with
electrical codes to the unit cabinet.
Grounding may also be accomplished by attaching
ground wire(s) to ground lug(s) provided in the unit
wiring compartment.
Ground lug(s) are located close to wire entrance on
left side of unit (up-flow). Lug(s) may be moved to
marked locations near wire entrance on right side of
unit (up-flow). If alternate location is more
convenient.
Use of multiple supply circuits require grounding of
each circuit to lug(s) provided in unit.
WARNING
The unit must be permanently grounded. Failure
to do so can result in electrical shock causing
personal injury or death.

--- Shaded boxes represent airflow outside the required 300-450 cfm/ton, which are not recommended.
NOTES: Airflow based upon cooling performance at 230V with no electric heat and no filter. Airflow at 208V is approximately
the same as 230V because the mult-tap ECM motor is a constant torque motor. The torque doesn’t drop off at the speeds in
which the motor operates.
The air distribution system has the greatest effect on airflow. The duct system is totally controlled by the contractor. For this
reason, the contractor should use only industry-recognized procedures.

11
Heat pump systems require a specified airflow for electric heat operating. Each ton of cooling requires between 350 and 450
cubic feet of air per minute (CFM), or 400 CFM nominally.
Duct design and construction should be carefully done. System performance can be lowered dramatically through bad
planning or workmanship.
Air supply diffusers must be selected and located carefully. They must be sized and positioned to deliver treated air along the
perimeter of the space. If they are too small for their intended airflow, they become noisy. If they are not located properly,
they cause drafts. Return air grilles must be properly sized to carry air back to the blower. If they are too small, they also
cause noise.
The installers should balance the air distribution system to ensure proper quiet airflow to all rooms in the home. This ensures
a comfortable living space.
An air velocity meter or airflow hood can be used to balance and verify branch and system airflow (CFM).
6. DUCTWORK
Field ductwork must comply with the National Fire
Protection Association NFPA 90A, NFPA 90B and any
applicable local ordinance.
WARNING
Do not, under any circumstances, connect return
ductwork to any other heat producing device
such as fireplace insert, stove, etc.
Unauthorized use of such devices may result in
fire, carbon monoxide poisoning, explosion,
personal injury or property damage.
Sheet metal ductwork in unconditioned spaces must be
insulated and covered with a vapor barrier. Fibrous
ductwork may be used if constructed and installed in
accordance with SMACNA Construction Standard on
Fibrous Glass Ducts. Ductwork must comply with
National Fire Protection Association as tested by UL
Standard 181 for Class I Air Ducts. Check local codes
for requirements on ductwork and insulation.
Duct system must be designed within the range of
external static pressure the unit is designed to
operate against. It is important that the system
airflow be adequate. Make sure supply and return
ductwork, grills, special filters, accessories, etc. are
accounted for in total resistance. See airflow
performance tables in this manual.
Design the duct system in accordance with “ACCA”
Manual “D” Design for Residential Winter and
Summer Air Conditioning and Equipment Selection.
Latest editions are available from: “ACCA” Air
Conditioning Contractors of America, 1513 16th
Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036. If duct
system incorporates flexible air duct, be sure
pressure drop Information (straight length plus all
turns) shown in “ACCA” Manual “D” is accounted for
in the system.
Supply plenum is attached to the 3/4” duct flanges
supplied with the unit. Attach flanges around the
blower outlet.
IMPORTANT: If an elbow is included in the plenum
close to the unit, it can not be smaller than the
dimensions of the supply duct flange on the unit.
IMPORTANT: The front flange on the return duct if
connected to the blower casing must not be
screwed into the area where the power wiring is
located. Drills or sharp screw points can damage
insulation on wires located inside unit.
Secure the supply and return ductwork to the unit
flanges, using proper fasteners for the type of duct
used and tape the duct-to-unit joint as required to
prevent air leaks.
7.
REFRIGERANT CONNECTIONS
Keep the coil connections sealed until refrigerant
connections are made. See the Installation Instructions
for the outdoor unit for details on line sizing, tubing
installation, and charging information.
Coil is shipped with Nitrogen. Evacuate the system
before charging with refrigerant.
Install refrigerant tubing so that it does not block service
access to the front of the unit.
Nitrogen should flow through the refrigerant lines while
brazing.
Use a brazing shield to protect the cabinet’s paint and a
wet rag to protect the rubber grommet and input pipe’s
Pistion seal ring from being damaged by torch flames.
After the refrigerant connections are made, seal the gap
around the connections with pressure sensitive gasket.
WARNING
Use a wet rag to protect the two seal rings in the
input pipe from being damaged by torch flames
while brazing.
After the work is finished, make sure to check that there
is no vapor leak after checking for vapor leaks, be sure
to insulate the piping connections referring to Fig.7-1.

FITTING TOWARD DRAIN
CONNECTION UNIT MUST BE
SLIGHTLY INCLINED
IMPORTANT:
1. When making drain fitting connections to the drain
pan, use a thin layer of Teflon paste, silicone or Teflon
tape and install, hand tighten.
2. When making drain fitting connections to drain pan,
do not overtighten. Over tightening fittings can split pipe
connections on the drain pan.
Install drain lines so they do not block service
access to front of the unit. Minimum clearance of 24
inches is required for filter, coil or blower removal
and service access.
Make sure unit is level or pitched slightly toward
primary drain connection so that water will drain
completely from the pan. (See Fig.7-2)
Do not reduce drain line size less than connection
size provided on condensate drain pan. Use 3/4
"
PVC piping for drain piping connections.
All drain lines must be pitched downward away from
the unit a minimum of 1/8
"
per foot of line to ensure
proper drainage.
Do not connect condensate drain line to a closed or
open sewer pipe. Run condensate to an open drain
or run line to a safe outdoor area.
The drain line should be insulated where necessary
to prevent sweating and damage due to condensate
forming on the outside surface of the line.
Make provisions for disconnecting and cleaning of
the primary drain line should it become necessary.
Install a 3 inch trap in the primary drain line as close
to the unit as possible. Make sure that the top of the
trap is below connection to the drain pan to allow
complete drainage of pan. (See Fig. 7-2).
Auxiliary drain line should be run to a place where it
will be noticeable if it becomes operational.
Homeowner should be warned that a problem
exists if water should begin running from the
auxiliary drain line.
Plug the unused drain connection with the plugs
provided in the parts bag, using a thin layer of teflon
paste, silicone or teflon tape to form a water tight
seal.
Test condensate drain pan and drain line after
installation is complete. Pour water into drain pan,
enough to fill drain trap and line. Check to make
sure drain pan is draining completely, no leaks are
found in drain line fittings, and water is draining
from the termination of the primary drain line.
Be sure to insulate the drain piping and drain
socket since condensation may cause water
leakage.
Be sure to install a drain trap at the drain outlet
since the inside of the unit is at negative pressure
relative to atmospheric pressure during operation.
8. AIR FILTER
(Not Factory-Installed)
External filter or other means of filtration is required.
Units should be sized for a maximum of 300 feet/min air
velocity or what is recomm-ended for the type filter
installed.
Filter application and placement are critical to airflow,
which may affect the heating and cooling system
performance. Reduced airflow can shorten the life of the
system’s major components, such as motor, limits,
elements, heat relays, evaporator coil or compressor.
Consequently, we recommend that the return air duct
system have only one filter location. For systems with a
return air filter grill or multiple filter grills, can have a filter
installed at each of the return air openings.
If adding high efficiency filters or electronic air filtration
systems, it is very important that the air flow is not
reduced. If air flow is reduced the overall performance
and efficiency of the unit will be reduced. It is strongly
recommended that a professional installation technician
is contacted to ensure installation of these such filtration
systems are installed correctly.
IMPORTANT: Do not double filter the return air duct
system. Do not filter the supply air duct system. This will
change the performance of the unit and reduce airflow.
WARNING
Do not operate the system without filters. A
portion of the dust entrained in the air may
temporarily lodge in the duct and run at the
supply registers. Any circulated dust particles
could be heated and charred by contact with the
air handler elements. This residue could soil
ceilings, walls, drapes, carpets and other articles
in the house.
Soot damage may occur with filters in place,
when certain types of candles, oil lamps or
standing pilots are burned.

AIR FILTER REMOVAL
1. Remove bolts manually, remove air filter recover. See in Fig.9-1.
2. Hold the edge of the air filter and extract out.
3. Clean the air filter (Vacuum cleaner or pure water may be used to clean the air filter. If the dust accumulation is too
heavy, use soft brush and mild detergent to clean it and dry out in cool place). See in Fig.9-2.
4. Install new filter so that the arrow on the filter is in the same direction as airflow.
