Air Filter
All indoor return air must be ltered. A washable lter is
furnished with the unit, located in the return air compartment.
If the optional front return opening is used and a duct is
installed, provisions must be made to accommodate lter
servicing. If a lter is installed at a separate central return
location, then the factory furnished lter must be removed
from the unit.
The lter should be cleaned at least three times during
each of the heating and cooling seasons, or more
frequently if unusual conditions are encountered. To clean
the washable lter, shake lter to remove excess dirt and/
or use a vacuum cleaner. Wash lter in soap or detergent
water and replace after lter is dry. It is not necessary to oil
the lter after washing.
The washable lter may be replaced with a disposable
lter. Table 4 lists lter sizes that t the unit.

Condensate Drain
Provisions must be made to properly drain the indoor and
outdoor drain pans of this appliance.
Indoor drain and outdoor drain connection: 3/4” NPT to
3/4” PVC tting (schedule 40 minimum). Both drains must
be trapped as shown in Figure 6. The drain line should
pitch gradually downward at least 1” per 10’ of horizontal
run to an open drain.
If local codes require the use of metal condensate lines,
do not thread metal ttings into the unit drain pans. Thread
a PVC tting into the unit drain pans and make the eld
connection to the PVC tting.
NOTE: MCE units are designed with a redundant drain
system to handle condensate without the need for a
secondary or emergency drain pan. Should the indoor
coil condensate drain system fail, all water is contained
within the unit and the ow is directed into the unit base
pan. From there it will drain into the condensate riser.
If for some reason the water cannot drain into the main
condensate riser, all water is contained in the unit, and the
design will allow drainage out through the wall sleeve and
louver assembly to the outside of the building.
Use thread sealant on the threaded ttings. Install
threaded ttings by hand only. Do not over torque the
ttings.
Do not thread metal condensate ttings to unit drain
pans.

Outdoor Ventilation Air
Units are tted with a panel that seals the return air
compartment at the outdoor air duct. Installers can choose
to remove the factory-installed panel and use the provided
auxiliary panel if introduction of outdoor air is desired.
NOTE: If outdoor ventilation air is introduced, the quantity
of air and conditions of this air must be accounted for in the
load calculations for the unit installation.
The auxiliary panel includes nine knockouts to congure
air ow to installation requirements. Use Table 6 and
Figure 7 to determine which knockouts to remove from the
auxiliary panel in order to achieve the desired air ow. Use
a at head screw driver to remove the knockouts. Set the
factory-installed panel aside for possible future changes.

Electrical Connections
All wiring must be done in accordance with the National
Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (latest edition);
Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.2 Part 1 (latest edition);
or local codes, where they prevail. Any alteration of internal
wiring will void certication and warranty.
Units are factory wired for a 230 volt power supply. If power
supply is 208 volts, it will be necessary to change a wire
connection on unit transformer from 240 volt terminal to
208 volt terminal as shown on the wiring diagram.
Use wiring with a temperature limitation of 75°F minimum.
Run the 208 or 230 volt, single phase, 60 hertz electric
power supply through a fused disconnect switch to the
control box of the unit and connect as shown in the unit’s
wiring diagram.
The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with
local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (latest edition)
or CSA C22.2 Part 1 (latest edition).
Power supply to the unit must be NEC Class 1 and must
comply with all applicable codes. A fused disconnect switch
should be eld provided for the unit. The switch must be
separate from all other circuits. If any of the wire supplied
with the unit must be replaced, replacement wire must be
of the type shown on the wiring diagram. Electrical wiring
must be sized to minimum circuit ampacity marked on the
unit. Use copper conductors only. Each unit must be
wired with a separate branch circuit and be properly fused.

Maintenance
Disconnect all electrical power to the unit before
conducting any maintenance procedures. Failure to
disconnect the power could result in personal injury or
death.
WARNING
Periodic inspection and maintenance normally consists of
changing or cleaning lters and (under some conditions)
cleaning the coils.
Filter
Inspect the lter once a month. Replace disposable lter or
clean the washable lter as necessary (a minimum of three
times each heating or cooling season is recommended).
Do not replace washable lter with a disposable lter
unless an installation was made in which the lter was
mounted exterior to the unit (see Air Filter section).
To clean the washable lter, shake lter to remove excess
dirt and/or use a vacuum cleaner. Wash lter in soap or
detergent water and replace after lter is dry. It is not
necessary to oil the lter after washing.
Motors
The indoor and outdoor fan motors are permanently
lubricated and require no maintenance.
Outdoor Coil
Foreign material should not be allowed to accumulate on
the outdoor coil surface or other parts in the air circuit.
Cleaning should be as often as necessary to keep the coil
clean. To clean the coil, remove the lower access panel
and blow out debris by using compressed air or water. Be
sure power to unit is shut o󰀨 before using water to
clean the coil.
Care should be used when cleaning the coils so that
the coil ns are not damaged.
Outdoor Base Drain
Foreign material should not be allowed to clog the drain
hole. Inspect and clear drain opening.
Operation
Sequence of Operation
Upon initial “power up” to unit, there is a 3-minute time delay
to the compressor contactor (R to Y). Any 24V interrupt (R,
C) to the defrost control will initiate the 3-minute delay to
the contactor.
Cooling
When the thermostat is in the cooling mode, the O circuit
is powered which energizes the reversing valve. Upon
cooling demand, the thermostat closes circuit R to Y and
G. Closing R to Y closes the unit contactor, starting the
compressor and outdoor fan, and signaling the indoor
blower to run at cooling speed. Upon satisfying cooling
demand, the thermostat will open the above circuits and
open the main contactor, stopping the compressor and
outdoor fan. The unit is equipped with a blower OFF delay;
the blower will continue to operate for a xed 90 seconds
after the thermostat is satised.
Heating
Upon heating demand, the thermostat closes circuit R to
W. On units supplied with heat strips, the sequencers are
then energized and bring on the auxiliary electric heat.
Units with no factory heat installed contain an auxiliary
heat relay that will close, energizing the 24VAC output.
This output can be used to control (not power) an auxiliary
heat source. The W signal from the thermostat brings the
indoor blower on at electric heat speed. Upon satisfying
heating demand, the thermostat opens the above circuits
and stops unit operation.
The unit is equipped with a blower OFF delay; the blower
will continue to operate for a xed 120 seconds (electric
heat) after the thermostat is satised.
NOTE: The 7.2 and 10 kW heats strips oer a W1 and
W2 thermostat connection. Taking advantage of the two
heat strip circuits requires a 3-stage thermostat (Y for heat
pump, W1 for electric heat stage 1, and W2 for electric
heat stage 2). If a 2-stage thermostat is used, “pigtail” W1
and W2 wires together when connecting the thermostat
wires at the unit.
