The Right Fit for Comfort 8P/N 240008639, Rev. B [8/16/2011]

Features
Indoor coil freeze protection (standard)
is feature will prevent the indoor coil from freeze up in the cooling
mode.
Indoor coil freeze up can occur due to a dirty air lter, restricted•
or poor air ow, low refrigerant charge or low room or outdoor
temperatures.
is in turn can cause compressor damage.•
Should a freezecondition bedetected,thecompressorandoutdoor•
fan will be switched o for a minimum of three minutes until the
freeze condition is satised.
During this time the indoor fan will continue to run to aid in the•
defrost process.
Condensate removal (standard)
e RetroAire replacement unit (cooling operation) is designed to
eliminate condensate by slinging it onto the outdoor coil.
Condensate drains through the bulkhead to the area near the•
outdoor fan.
As part of its normal operation, the unit will produce condensate•
and collect it in the base pan of the unit. ere it is picked up by
the outdoor fan slinger ring and deposited onto the condenser coil.
During the cooling season, this improves the unit’s eciency by
maintaining reduced refrigeration system pressures.
Base pan has overow notches, if too much condensate is produced•
notches allow condensate to ow out of the basepan and into the
wallsleeve out of the building.
Thermostatic drain pan valve (standard on heat pump units)
On heat pump models (PTHP), condensate can accumulate in the
outdoor drain pan during the heat pump cycle.
PTHP units include a thermostatic drain valve that opens when•
outdoor temperatures fall below 60°F (15°C).
When the drain valve opens, condensate ows from the drain pan•
onto the boom of the wall sleeve, where it drains to the outside.
is keeps the base pan free of condensate water, which could•
otherwise freeze during colder outdoor temperatures.
Random start feature (standard)
e random start feature is initiated on initial power-up or aer a
power interruption.
e controller adds a random time delay (from 5–120 seconds) on•
start-up, preventing the compressor from starting.
is staggers the starting of multiple units in a single facility,•
preventing a large surge that might occur if all units started at the
same time.
Anti-short cycle timer (standard)
e microprocessor control uses this timing to prevent short-cycling
of the compressor.
When the compressor cycles o on a heating or cooling call, the•
controller starts a 180-second timer.
e compressor will not be allowed to start until this time has•
elapsed.
On initial power-up or aer a power failure, this timing occurs aer•
the random start timing.
Power cord with integral safety protection
(standard)
All PTAC/PTHP units rated 250v or less are equipped with a
power cord with integral safety protection as standard.
Providing personal shock protection as well as arcing and re•
prevention, the device is designed to sense any damage in the line
cord and disconnect power before a re can occur.
Tested in accordance with Underwriters Laboratories, the cord set•
also oers a unique “passive” operation, meaning the unit does not
require reseing if main power is interrupted.
Heat pump
Heat pump units are “Limited Range” and should be equipped with
back-up electric resistance or hydronic heat. Limited Range heat
pumps are designed to operate when outdoor temperatures are
between 75°F(24°C) and 40°F(4.4°C) and with a maximum indoor
temperature of 80°F(26.6°C). e unit is equipped with a reversing
valve that is energized for cooling and de-energized in heating mode.
Electric heating or hydronic heat will operate using the onboard con-
trol logic below the operating conditions of the heat pump.
Hydronic heating (optional)
An optional hydronic heat package may be selected in lieu of electric
heat. Heating operation is essentially the same as that of units with
electric heat.
Aquastat connection (optional)
All replacement PTAC/PTHP's with hydronic heat are supplied with
a standard line volt Aquastat connection. e eld installed Aquastat
delays the fan operation until the hydronic coil reaches a temperature
of 100°F (38°C).

• Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual •
P/N 240008639, Rev. B [8/16/2011] 9Made in USA

Motorized fresh air damper (optional)
e optional motorized fresh air damper allows fresh air into the space
to be conditioned. When the Fresh Air switch is in the "YES" posi-
tion the damper door is open and allows fresh air into the space. is
feature is only available when the indoor fan is on. When the damper
door switch is in the "NO" position, the damper door is closed and
does not allow air in the space.
Optional wall-mounted thermostats
Thermostats available from EMI
EMI oers a thermostat that is compatible with your PTAC/PTHP
unit.
Select EMI partnumber 240008208fromthelatestRetroAireprice•
list for this option. is is a single stage, cool/heat, thermostat
that can be used in all RetroAire cooling, heating or heat pump
applications.
The thermostat has an adjustable setpoint range of between•
45°F(7°C) and 90°F(32°C).
For heat pumps another option is EMI part number 240008209.•
is is a 2 stage heat/cool thermostat which allows for emergency
heat.
Selecting a thermostat (by others)
When selecting a thermostat other than one oered by EMI, choose
a single stage heat/cool, 24v thermostat.
Straight cooling with electric heat or hydronic heat (R10C
— PTAC's)
Select a thermostat that is compatible with a cooling/electric heat
system.
e thermostat should have “R”, “Y”, “W”, "C" and “G” terminals.
Heat pump with electric heat (R__H - PTHPs)
Select a thermostat that is compatible with a cooling/single-stage
heat/heat pump system.
e thermostat should have "R", "Y", "O" and "G" terminals. RetroAire-
units are single stage heating only.
e eleactric heat and heat pump will not operate simultaneously.

Sequence of Operation
The following Sequence of Operation
applies to PTAC/PTHP units.
e R_ _C units are straight cool, single stage air conditioners avail-
able with electric or hydronic heat.
e R_ _H units are limited range, single stage heat pump. Mechani-
cal compression heating (heat pump mode) is locked out at outdoor
temperatures of approximately 35 ºF (1.7 ºC) and below. Below
these ambient temperatures, the auxiliary electric or hydronic heat
will be used.
General
e unit is controlled by a microprocessor. ermostat and control
connections are made to the control board.
- Control BoardFigure 7
Two conguration jumpers are located on the board, see Figure
8. e Heat Pump Conguration Jumper is a 3 pin jumper.
Straight• Cool units R_ _C, the jumper should be located on the
outside two pins.
Heat• Pump units R_ _H, the jumper should be located on the
inside two pins.
A second conguration jumper “TEST” allows for the control’s inter-
nal timers to be by-passed for test purposes. Placing the jumper on
the two pins enables the test mode.
A status LED (Light Emiing Diode), LED1 is located on the center
of the board. A series of blinks communicates the status of the board.

Initial Power-Up or Power Restoration
When power is applied to the unit, either for the rst time or aer a
power failure, the board will initialize itself. During the initialization,
LED1 will be lit continuously for approximately 5 seconds. Following
the initialization, a random start timer is initiated. is timer adds
a randomly selected 5-120 seconds to the start-up sequence, reduc-
ing the possibility of multiple units starting at the same time. Once
the random start timer has expired, a 180 second Anti-Short Cycle
Timer is initiated and the Processor Board Trouble Code LED is set
to blink a 2 ash code. is timer prevents the compressor from rapid
cycling. AertheAnti-Short CycleTimerexpires,theProcessorBoard
Trouble Code LED is set to blink a 1 blink Trouble Code, indicating
normal operation.
R_ _C / R_ _H; Cooling Operation
( For unit mount controls)
With the System Switch [SS] set to “Cool”, and the Fan Cycle Switch
[FCS] set to “On” (Continuous Fan Operation), the indoor fan mo-
tor will start. If the Fan Cycle Switch [FCS] is set to “O ” (Cycling
Fan Operation), the indoor fan motor will start with a call for cool-
ing from the internal thermostat [T’stat]. If the unit is equipped
with a Motorized Fresh Air Damper, and is active with the Fresh
Air Switch [FAS], the damper will open with a call for the indoor
fan. If the room temperature is below the thermostat seing the fan
operation will continue as noted above. If the room temperature is
above the thermostat seing, the reversing valve will be energized,
the compressor and outdoor fan will start provided the Anti-Short
Cycle Timer has timed out from the initial power-up, power restora-
tion or a previous compressor on cycle. Operation will continue
until the room temperature satises the thermostat. Once the room
temperature falls below the set point by 3 ºF (2 ºC), the compressor,
outdoor fan motor and reversing valve will de-energize. If the FCS
is set to “O”, the indoor fan will continue to operate for 60 seconds
aer the compressor stops. If the FCS is set to “On”, the indoor fan
will continue to operate. As soon as the compressor is de-energized,
the Anti-Short Cycle Timer will be initialized and will prevent the
compressor from starting again for another 180 seconds. While the
Anti-Short Cycle Timer is active, the Processor Board Trouble Code
LED is set to blink a 2 ash code. Aer the Anti-Short Cycle Timer
expires, the Processor Board Trouble Code LED is set to blink a 1
blink Trouble Code, indicating normal operation.

Sequence of Operation (continued)
NOTE:
Remote-Mount Cooling Operation depends on the features of•
the wall-mounted thermostat. By default the fan will cycle with a
call for cooling. For thermostats with an AUTO / ON fan switch,
the fan will run continuously if this is “ON” (Continuous Fan
Operation). e fan will cycle with a call for cooling if this is set
to “AUTO” (Cycling Fan Operation).
In cooling the units will not start is the indoor air temperature is•
60ºF (15.5 ºC) or below or if the outdoor temperature is below
40ºF (4.5ºC).
R_ _C / R_ _ H; Heating Operation
With the System Switch [SS] set to “Heat”, and the Fan Cycle Switch
[FCS] set to “On” (Continuous Fan Operation), the indoor fan mo-
tor will start. If the Fan Cycle Switch [FCS] is set to “O ” (Cycling
Fan Operation), the indoor fan motor will start with a call for heating
from the internal thermostat [T’stat]. If the unit is equipped with a
Motorized Fresh Air Damper, and is active with the Fresh Air Switch
[FAS], the damper will open with a call for the indoor fan. If the
room temperature is above the thermostat seing the fan operation
will continue as noted above. If the room temperature is below the
thermostat seing, the action of the unit will depend on the outdoor
temperature and the freeze sensor status.
NOTE: Remote-Mount Heating Operation depends on the features
of the wall-mounted thermostat. By default the fan will cycle with a
call for Heating. For thermostats with an AUTO / ON fan switch,
the fan will run continuously if this is “ON” (Continuous Fan Opera-
tion). e fan will cycle with a call for heating if this is set to “AUTO”
(Cycling Fan Operation).
R_ _H; Mechanical Heating “Heat Pump"•
”If the outdoor coil temperature remains above 25 ºF (-4 ºC), the
compressor and outdoor fan will start provided the Anti-Short
Cycle Timer has timed out from the initial power-up, power
restoration or a previous compressor on cycle. Operation will
continue until the room temperature satises the thermostat.
Once the room temperature rises above the set point by 3 ºF (2
ºC), the compressor and outdoor fan motor will de-energize. If
the FCS is set to “O”, the indoor fan will continue to operate
for 60 seconds aer the compressor stops. If the FCS is set to
“On”, the indoor fan will continue to operate. As soon as the
compressor is de-energized, the Anti-Short Cycle Timer will be
initializedandwill preventthecompressorfromstarting again for
another180seconds. WhiletheAnti-ShortCycle Timerisactive,
the Processor Board Trouble Code LED is set to blink a 2 ash
code. Aer the Anti-Short Cycle Timer expires, the Processor
Board Trouble Code LED is set to ash a 1 blink Trouble Code,
indicating normal operation.
R_ _H; Auxiliary Heating “Electric” or “Hydronic”•
If the outdoor coil temperature falls to 25 ºF (-4 ºC) or below
for 180 seconds at anytime during a heating call, the compressor
and outdoor fan motor will be de-energized and auxiliary heat
will be energized. e Anti-Short Cycle Timer will be initi-
ated, prohibiting compressor operation for 180 seconds. e
Processor Board Trouble Code LED will ash a 3 blink Trouble
Code, indicating auxiliary heat operation. Heating operation
with auxiliary heat will continue until the outdoor coil sensor
reaches 50 ºF (10 ºC).
“Electric Heat”
˚With the System Switch [SS] set to “Heat”, and the Fan Cycle
Switch [FCS] set to “On” (Continuous Fan Operation), the
indoor fan motor will start. If the Fan Cycle Switch [FCS] is
set to “O” (Cycling Fan Operation), the indoor fan motor
will start with a call for heating from the internal thermostat
[T’stat]. If the unit is equipped with a Motorized Fresh Air
Damper, and is activated with the Fresh Air Switch [FAS], the
damper will open with a call for the indoor fan. If the room
temperature is above the thermostat seing the fan operation
will continue as noted above. If the room temperature is below
the thermostat seing, the electric heater is energized until the
room temperature satises the thermostat. Once the room
temperature increases above the set point by 3 ºF (2 ºC), the
electric heaters will de-energize.
“Hydronic Heat”
˚If the FCS is set to “On” (Continuous Fan Operation) and
the unit has an AquaStat, the indoor fan and fresh air motor-
ized damper operation will be controlled by the Aquastat. If
the AquaStat senses a temperature of 80 ± 5 ºF (26 ± 3 ºC)
or below, the indoor fan will shut down and the motorized
damper will close fresh air door. With a call for heat, a signal
from the processor board will activate the water or steam valve.
If the unit is equipped with a eld installed AquaStat [AS], the
indoor fan start will be delayed until the hydronic coil reaches
100 ± 5 ºF (38 ± 3 ºC). e signal to the water or steam valve
will continue until the room temperature rises above the set
point by 3 ºF (2 ºC). If the FCS is set to “O”, the indoor fan
will continue to operate for 60 seconds or until the hydronic
coil temperature as sensed by the AquaStat reaches 80 ± 5 ºF
(26 ± 3 ºC), whichever occurs rst. If the FCS is set to “On”,
the indoor fan will de-energize if the AquaStat senses a tem-
perature of 80 ± 5 ºF (26 ± 3 ºC) or below.
