Safety Considerations
WARNING: Before performing service or maintenance
operations on a system, turn off main power switches
to the indoor unit. If applicable, turn off the accessory
heater power switch. Electrical shock could cause
personal injury.
Installing and servicing heating and air conditioning equipment can
be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components.
Only trained and qualified service personnel should install, repair
or service heating and air conditioning equipment. Untrained
personnel can perform the basic maintenance functions of cleaning
coils and cleaning and replacing filters. All other operations should
be performed by trained service personnel. When working on
heating and air conditioning equipment, observe precautions in
the literature, tags and labels attached to the unit and other safety
precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
Use a quenching cloth for brazing operations and have a fire
extinguisher available.
Moving and Storage
Move units in the normal “up” orientation. Do not stack units. When
the equipment is received, all items should be carefully checked
against the bill of lading to be sure all crates and cartons have
been received. Examine units for shipping damage, removing the
units from the packaging if necessary. Units in question should also
be internally inspected. If any damage is noted, the carrier should
make the proper notation on the delivery receipt, acknowledging
the damage.
Water Piping
The proper water flow must be provided to each unit whenever the
unit operates. To assure proper flow, use pressure/temperature
ports to determine the flow rate. These ports should be located at
the supply and return water connections on the unit. The proper
flow rate cannot be accurately set without measuring the water
pressure drop through the refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger.
All source water connections on commercial units are fittings that
accept a male pipe thread (MPT). Insert the connectors by hand,
then tighten the fitting with a wrench to provide a leakproof joint.
When connecting to an open loop (groundwater) system, thread
any copper MPT fitting into the connector and tighten in the same
manner as described above.
Refrigerant Systems
To maintain sealed circuit integrity, do not install service gauges
unless unit operation appears abnormal. Compare the change in
temperature on the air side as well as the water side to the Unit
Operating Parameters tables. If the unit’s performance is not
within the ranges listed, and the airflow and water flow are known
to be correct, gauges should then be installed and superheat and
subcooling numbers calculated. If superheat and subcooling are
outside recommended ranges, an adjustment to the refrigerant
charge may be necessary.

Installation Steps
Step 1: Unpack Equipment and Inspect for Damage
Step 2: Determine Equipment Location
• Choose level flooring surface (Correctable with shims. Do not pitch towards drain.)
• Location of wall support and fasteners required to secure chassis backplate.
• Easy access for both installation and service.
• Consider availability and ease of wiring, water piping and condensate drain.
• No obstructions to block airflow in front of the unit.
Step 3: Mark Unit Position
• Ensure that floor is level. If shims are required, make sure that the entire compressor compartment area is uniformly
shimmed and that the backplate mounting height is increased by the thickness of the shims used.
• Position backplate in desired equipment location. To further reduce the operating sound level of the unit, 1/8-inch thick
rubber matting may be placed under the chassis to eliminate vibration on hard flooring surfaces. (Make sure back plate is level).
• Mark and cut floor or wall penetrations for electrical wiring, water and condensate piping.
Optional Electrical Disconnect and Motorized Outside Air Damper
• Mark and cut wall penetrations for field fabricated outside air duct sleeve.
• Align mounting holes with backplate and attach with screws supplied.

Step 4: Provide Water and Condensate Drain Connections
• A two-pipe reverse return piping configuration is recommended as it equalizes the piping circuit lengths and delivers
even water flow to each unit. A direct return piping configuration may be used, but it may be difficult to achieve and
maintain proper water flow to the units.
• An air vent must be installed in the water distribution system.
• The supply and return water piping should be run through the wall or floor penetration and terminate with a ball valve.
The piping material used must comply with all local codes.
• Refer to: System Cleaning and Flushing procedures.

System Cleaning and Flushing
Cleaning and Flushing
Prior to start up of any heat pump, the water circulating system must be cleaned
and flushed of all dirt and debris.
If the system is equipped with water shutoff valves, the supply and return
runouts must be connected together at each unit location (This will prevent the
introduction of dirt into the unit, see Figure 7). The system should be filled at
the water make-up connection with all air vents open. After filling, vents should
be closed.
The contractor should start the main circulator with the pressure reducing valve
makeup open. Vents should be checked in sequence to bleed off any trapped
air and to verify circulation through all components of the system.
As water circulates through the system, the contractor should check and repair
any leaks found in the piping system. Drain(s) at the lowest point(s) in the
system should be opened for initial flush and blowdown, making sure water
fill valves are set at the same rate. Check the pressure gauge at the pump suction and manually adjust the make-up water valve to hold
the same positive pressure both before and after opening the drain valves. Flushing should continue for at least two hours, or longer if
required, until drain water is clean and clear.
The supplemental heater and/or circulator pump, if used, should be shut off. All drains and vents should be opened to completely drain the
system. Short-circuited supply and return runouts should now be connected to the unit supply and return connections.
Refill the system with clean water. Test the system water for acidity and treat as required to leave the water slightly alkaline (pH 7.5 to 8.5).
The specified percentage of antifreeze may also be added at this time. Use commercial grade antifreeze designed for HVAC systems only.
Environol™ brand antifreeze is recommended..
Once the system has been filled with clean water and antifreeze (if used), precautions should be taken to protect the system from dirty
water conditions. Dirty water will result in system-wide degradation of performance, and solids may clog valves, strainers, flow regulators,
etc. Additionally, the heat exchanger may become clogged which reduces compressor service life and can cause premature unit failure.
In boiler/tower application, set the loop control panel set points to desired temperatures. Supply power to all motors and start the
circulating pumps. After full flow has been established through all components including the heat rejector (regardless of season), air
vented and loop temperatures stabilized, each of the units will be ready for check, test and start up and for air and water balancing.
Ground Source Loop System Checkout
Once piping is completed between the unit pumping system and ground loop, final purging and charging of the loop is needed. A high
pressure pump is needed to achieve adequate flow velocity in the loop to purge air and dirt particles from the loop itself. Antifreeze
solution is used in most areas to prevent freezing. Flush the system adequately to remove as much air as possible; then pressurize the
loop to a static pressure of 40-50 psi (summer) or 50-75 psi (winter). This is normally adequate for good system operation. Loop static
pressure may decrease soon after initial installation, due to pipe expansion and loop temperature change. Running the unit for at least 30
minutes after the system has been completely purged of air will allow for the “break-in” period. It may be necessary to adjust static loop
pressure (by adding water) after the unit has run for the first time. Loop static pressure will also fluctuate with the seasons. Pressures will
be higher in the winter months than during the cooling season. This fluctuation is normal and should be considered when charging the
system initially.
Ensure the pump provides adequate flow through the unit by checking pressure drop across the heat exchanger.
Usually 2.25-3.0 gpm of flow per ton of cooling capacity is recommended in earth loop applications.

AFFINITY LOW SILL SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL
Open Loop Ground Water Systems
Always maintain water pressure in the heat exchanger by placing water control valves at the outlet of the unit to prevent mineral
precipitation. Use a closed, bladder-type expansion tank to minimize mineral formation due to air exposure. Ensure proper water flow
through the unit by checking pressure drop across the heat exchanger and comparing it to the figures in unit capacity data tables in the
specification catalog. 1.5-2 gpm of flow per ton of cooling capacity is recommended in open loop applications.
Discharge water from the unit is not contaminated in any manner and can be disposed of in various ways, depending on local codes,
i.e. recharge well, storm sewer, drain field, adjacent stream or pond, etc. Most local codes forbid the use of sanitary sewer for disposal.
Consult your local building and zoning departments to assure compliance in your area.
Note: For open loop/groundwater systems or systems that do not contain an antifreeze solution, set SW1-Switch #2 to the “WELL”
position (Refer to the Dip Switch Field Selection table). Slow opening/closing solenoid valves (type VM) are recommended to eliminate
water hammer.
Water Quality
In ground water situations where scaling could be heavy or where biological growth such as iron bacteria will be present, a closed loop
system is recommended. The heat exchanger coils in ground water systems may, over a period of time, lose heat exchange capabilities
due to a buildup of mineral deposits inside. These can be cleaned, but only by a qualified service mechanic, as special solutions and
pumping equipment are required. Desuperheater coils can likewise become scaled and possibly plugged. In areas with extremely hard
water, the owner should be informed that the heat exchanger may require occasional flushing.
Units with cupronickel heat exchangers are recommended for open loop applications due to the increased resistance to build-up and
corrosion, along with reduced wear caused by acid cleaning.

Electrical Connections
General
Be sure the available power is the same voltage and phase as that shown on the unit serial plate. Line and low voltage wiring must be
done in accordance with local codes or the National Electric Code, whichever is applicable.
208 Volt Operation
All 208/230 units are factory wired for 230 volt operation. For 208 volt operation, the red and blue transformer wires must be switched.
