SECTION 2: INSTALLATION INTRODUCTION
SECTION 3: INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Consumer Instructions
Dealer should instruct the consumer in proper
operation, maintenance, lter replacements,
thermostat and indicator lights. Also provide
the consumer with the manufacturer’s Owner's
Manual for the equipment being installed.
Enertech Global D-I-Y Policy: Enertech
Global’s geothermal heat pumps and system
installations may include electrical, refrigerant
and/or water connections. Federal, state and
local codes and regulations apply to various
aspects of the installation. Improperly installed
equipment can lead to equipment failure and
health/safety concerns. For these reasons, only
qualied technicians should install a Enertech
Global built geothermal system.
compressor and protects unit by locking out
when safety switches are engaged. It also
provides fault indicator(s).
Terminal Strip: Provides connection to the
thermostat or other accessories to the low
voltage circuit.
Transformer: Converts incoming (source)
voltage to 24V AC.
Low Voltage Breaker: Attached directly to
transformer, protects the transformer and low
voltage circuit.
Reversing Valve: Controls the cycle of the
refrigerant system (heating or cooling).
Energized in cooling mode.
High Pressure Switch: Protects the refrigerant
system from high refrigerant pressure, by locking
unit out if pressure exceeds setting.
Low Pressure Switch: Protects the refrigerant
system from low suction pressure, if suction
pressure falls below setting.
Electric Heater: Provides auxiliary heat during
cold temperatures and provides electric
backup if unit malfunctions.
Blower Motor (ECM): ECM (Electronically
Commutated Motor) for variable fan speeds.
Because of the importance of proper installation,
Enertech Global does not sell equipment direct
to homeowners. Internet websites and HVAC
outlets may allow for purchases directly by
homeowners and do-it-yourselfers, but Enertech
Global offers no warranty on equipment that is
purchased via the internet or installed by persons
without proper training.
Enertech Global has set forth this policy
to ensure installations of Enertech Global
geothermal systems are done safely and
properly. The use of well-trained, qualied
technicians helps ensure that your system
provides many years of comfort and savings.
Equipment Installation: Special care should
be taken in locating the unit. All vertical units
should be placed on a vibration absorbing pad
(air pad) slightly larger than the base of the
unit. Flex connectors should also be installed in
between the ductwork and the unit. All units
should be located in an indoor area were the
ambient temperature will remain above 55°F
and should be located in a way that piping
and ductwork or other permanently installed
xtures do not have to be removed for servicing
and lter replacement.
Electrical: All wiring, line and low voltage,
should comply with the manufacturer's
recommendations, The National Electrical
Code, and all local codes and ordinances.
Thermostat: Thermostats should be installed
approximately 54 inches off the oor on an
inside wall in the return air pattern and where
they are not in direct sunlight at anytime.
Loop Pumping Modules: Must be wired to the
heat pump’s electric control box. A special
entrance knockout is provided below the
thermostat entrance knockout. A pump
module connection block, connected to
the master contactor, and circuit breaker is
provided to connect the Pump Module wiring.
Desuperheater Package: Water heating is
standard on all residential units (units may be
ordered without). It uses excess heat, during
both heating and cooling cycles, to provide
hot water for domestic needs. A double wall
