INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS AND
HOMEOWNER’S MANUAL
INSTALLER / SERVICE TECHNICIAN:
Use the information in this manual for the installation / servicing and keep the document near the furnace for future reference.
Communication wire connected between the indoor and outdoor units must be rated for at least 120VAC, they are protected by the
outdoor unit breaker and must be sized appropriately.
Do not install any metering device on the indoor coil. The expansion valve is located in the outdoor unit. If a metering device is
already installed in the indoor coil, it must be removed.
Both refrigerant lines must be separately insulated in order to avoid condensation and to ensure proper efficiency.

QUICK SETUP
Simple start-up using communicating thermostat with modulating furnace
1. Turn off the breaker of the outdoor unit and the furnace
2. Connect COND1 and COND2 on the interface card to N(1) and 2 at the outdoor unit (See Figure 9: 30/36K Electrical diagram)
3. Connect the RJ-11 wire between the interface and the furnace control board (See Figure 9: 30/36K Electrical diagram)
4. Position the temperature sensor (included) on the crossover of the indoor coil and connect it to the terminal T1 and Tc of the
interface (See section 6.8.1-)
5. Turn the outdoor unit “ON”
6. Turn the furnace “ON”
Make sure the unit is working properly
1. The Green LED on the interface card should be blinking once every two seconds
2. The Orange LED on the interface card should be blinking once every two seconds
3. The communicating thermostat will display “Heat_Pump_Found”
4. Set the thermostat to “COOL” mode and adjust the set point to a lower value than the actual room temperature
5. The furnace and the outdoor unit should start within 5 minutes
In this configuration, the interface card will gather information from both the outdoor unit and the furnace in order to adjust the fan speed to
the capacity of the outdoor unit
Legacy connection
1. Connect all the thermostat control wires to the interface card and the air handler control board (See Figure 20)
2. Make sure to connect the heat outputs W1 out and W2 out of the thermostat to the W1 and W2 inputs of the furnace –OR –W on
W2 on a single stage thermostat
3. Connect COND1 and COND2 on the interface card to N(1) and 2 at the outdoor unit (See Figure 20)
4. Set the dipswitches to the desired balance point (See Table 2)

Installing, starting up, and servicing air conditioner can be hazardous due
to system pressure, electrical components, and equipment location, etc.
Only trained, qualified installers and service personnel are allowed to
install, start-up, and service this equipment.
When handling the equipment, observe precautions in the manual and on
tags and stickers on the equipment. Follow all safety codes. Wear safety
glasses and work with gloves. Keep quenching cloth and fire extinguisher
nearby when brazing.
Read the instructions thoroughly and follow all warnings or cautions in
literature and attached to the unit. Always follow building codes and current
edition of national as well as local electrical codes.
Recognize the following safety information:
Warning: Incorrect handling could result in personal
injury or death
Caution: Incorrect handling may result in minor injury, or damage to
product or property
WARNING
1.1- WARNING
All electric work must be performed by a licensed technician according to
local regulations and the instructions given in this manual
Before installing, modifying, or servicing the system, the main
electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF position. There
may be more than 1 disconnect switch. Lock out and tag switches
with a suitable warning label.
Never supply power to the unit unless all wiring and tubing are
completed, connected and checked.
This system contains dangerous electrical voltage. Incorrect
connection or inadequate grounding can cause personal injury or
death. Stick to the wiring diagram and all the instructions when
wiring.
Have the unit adequately grounded in accordance with the local
electric codes;
Have all wiring connected tightly. Loose connections may lead to
overheating and a possible fire hazard.
All installation or repair work shall be performed by your dealer or a
specialized subcontractor as there is the risk of fire, electric shock,
explosion or injury.
Make sure the outdoor unit is installed on a stable, level surface
with no accumulation of snow, leaves, or trash beside;
Avoid contact between refrigerant and fire as it generates
poisonous gas;
Apply specifiedrefrigerant only. Never have it mixed with any other
refrigerant. Never have air remain in the refrigerant lines as it may
lead to rupture and other hazards;
Make sure no refrigerant gas is leaking out when installation is
completed;
Should there be refrigerant leakage, the density of refrigerant in the
air shall in no way exceed its limited value, or it may lead to
explosion;
Keep your fingers and clothing away from any moving parts;
Clear the site after installation. Make sure no foreign objects are
left in the unit;
Always ensure effective grounding of the unit.
CAUTION
1.2- CAUTION
Never install the unit in a place where a combustible gas might
leak, it may lead to fire or explosion;
Provide an electric leak breaker when it is installed in a wet
environment;
Never wash the unit with water
Handle unit transportation with care. The unit should not be carried
by only one person if it is more than 20 kg;
Never touch the heat exchanger fins with bare hands;
Never touch the compressor or refrigerant piping without wearing
gloves;
Make sure that the air handler filter is clean;
Should any emergency occur, stop the unit and disconnect the
power immediately;
Properly insulate ALL refrigerant tubing from outdoor units to the
interior cooling coil to prevent condensation.
