SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT: Safety markings are used frequently throughout this manual to designate a degree or level of seriousness and should not be ignored. WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation that if not avoided, could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation that if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury or property damage.

ABOUT THE HEAT PUMP

Your heat pump is a unique, all weather comfort- control appliance that will heat and cool your home year round and provide energy saving comfort. It’s an unknown fact that heat is always in the air, even when the outside temperature is below freezing. The heat pump uses this basic law of physics to provide energy saving heat during the winter months. For example, If the outdoor temperature is 47° F (8° C), your heat pump can deliver approximately 3.5 units of heat energy per each unit of electrical energy used, as compared to a maximum of only 1 unit of heat energy produced with conventional heating systems.

In colder temperatures, the heat pump performs like an air conditioner run in reverse. Available heat energy outside the home is absorbed by the refrigerant and exhausted inside the home. This effi cient process means you only pay for “moving” the heat from the outdoors to the indoor area. You do not pay to generate the heat, as with more traditional furnace designs.

During summer, the heat pump reverses the fl ow of the heat-absorbing refrigerant to become an energy-effi cient, central air conditioner. Excess heat energy inside the home is absorbed by the refrigerant and exhausted outside the home.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Please refer to the thermostat manufacturer’s User manual for detailed programming instructions.

Cooling Operation Only

1.Set the thermostat’s system mode to COOL or AUTO and change the fan mode to AUTO. See Figure 1

2.Set the temperature selector to the desired temperature level. The outdoor fan, compressor, and blower motor will all cycle on and off to maintain the indoor temperature at the desired cooling level.

NOTE: If the temperature level is re-adjusted, or the system mode is reset, the fan and compressor in the outdoor unit may not start immediately. A protective timer circuit holds the compressor and the outdoor fan off for approximately three minutes following a previous operation or the interruption of the main electrical power.

Heating Operation Only

1.Set the thermostat’s system mode to HEAT or AUTO and change the fan mode to AUTO. See Figure 1.

2.Set the temperature selector to the desired temperature level. The compressor, outdoor fan, and blower motor will cycle on and off to maintain the indoor temperature at the desired heating level.

NOTE: If the temperature level is re-adjusted, or the system mode is reset, the fan and compressor in the outdoor unit may not start immediately. A protective timer circuit holds the compressor and the outdoor fan off for approximately three minutes following a previous operation or the interruption of the main electrical power.

Emergency Heat

Some thermostats may include a system mode called EM HT or AUX HT, etc. This is a back- up heating mode that should only be used if a problem is suspected. With the mode set to EM HT, etc., the compressor and outdoor fan will be locked off and supplemental heat (electric resistance heating) will be used as a source of heat.Sustained use of electric resistance heat in place of the heat pump will result in an increase in electric utility costs.

Defrost Operation

During cold weather heating operation, the outdoor unit will develop a coating of snow and ice on the heat transfer coil. This is normal

R-410A specifications

Nordyne R-410A is a widely recognized refrigerant used in modern air conditioning and heat pump systems, known for its efficiency and environmentally friendly attributes. As a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant, R-410A has become the preferred choice for many manufacturers seeking to meet stringent environmental regulations while providing superior cooling performance.

One of the main features of R-410A is its higher energy efficiency compared to older refrigerants like R-22. This efficiency is primarily attributed to its higher pressure capabilities, which allow for improved heat transfer and reduced energy consumption in residential and commercial systems. As energy costs continue to rise, the use of R-410A in HVAC systems offers a viable solution for reducing utility bills while maintaining optimal comfort levels.

R-410A is also non-ozone-depleting, which sets it apart from many traditional refrigerants. While older refrigerants have been phased out due to their potential harm to the ozone layer, R-410A presents a sustainable alternative that aligns with environmental goals. It features a zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), making it a responsible choice for installations concerned with ecological impact.

In terms of technology, R-410A works effectively in both air conditioning and heat pump systems, providing reliable cooling in hot conditions and heat in colder months. It is compatible with a variety of system designs and can excel in both residential and commercial applications. Moreover, the thermodynamic properties of R-410A ensure consistent and reliable performance, regardless of the external temperature fluctuations.

Another characteristic of R-410A is its ability to operate at lower temperatures, which enhances its versatility. This capability allows for the design of systems that can function efficiently in a wider range of climate conditions. As a result, HVAC technicians and contractors benefit from its reliability and performance, leading to less frequent maintenance and enhanced customer satisfaction.

Lastly, R-410A systems are equipped with advanced components that improve overall functionality. These systems often include variable-speed compressors, which optimize energy use based on cooling demand, and advanced refrigerant management technologies that ensure safe and efficient operation.

In conclusion, Nordyne R-410A stands out as a superior refrigerant due to its energy efficiency, environmental benefits, and adaptability across a range of HVAC applications. As the industry continues to innovate and shift toward sustainable solutions, R-410A remains at the forefront of refrigerant technology, ensuring homeowners and businesses alike enjoy efficient and eco-friendly cooling options.
