USER INFORMATION

and the unit will defrost itself. This unit features Adaptive Demand Defrost that monitors ambient and coil temperatures to regulate the defrost function accordingly.

At the beginning of the defrost cycle, both the outdoor condenser fan and compressor will turn off. After approximately 30 seconds, the compressor will turn on and begin to heat the outdoor coil causing the ice and snow to melt. NOTE: While the ice and snow is melting, some steam may rise from the outdoor unit as the warm coil causes the melting frost to evaporate.When defrost is completed, the outdoor fan motor will start, and the compressor will turn off again. In approximately 30 seconds the compressor will start up again and continue normal operation.

Operating the Heat Pump for Automatic Cooling and Heating

1.Set the thermostat system switch to AUTO and the thermostat fan switch to AUTO. See Figure 1.

Note: Thermostats will vary. Some models will not include the AUTO mode, and others will have the AUTO in place of the HEAT and COOL, and some will include all three.

2.Set the thermostat temperature to the desired heating and cooling temperature level(s).The outdoor unit and the indoor blower will then cycle on and off in either the heating or cooling mode of operation as required to automatically maintain the indoor temperature within the desired limits.

Operating the Indoor Blower Continuously

The continuous indoor blower operation is typically used to circulate the indoor air to equalize a temperature unbalance due to a sun load, cooking, or ﬁ replace operation.

Set the thermostat fan mode to ON (Figure 1). The indoor blower starts immediately, and will run continually until the fan mode is reset to AUTO.

The continuous indoor blower operation can be obtained with the thermostat system mode set in any position, including OFF.

Shutting the Heat Pump Off

Change the thermostat’s system mode to OFF and the fan mode to AUTO. See Figure 1. NOTE: The system will not operate, regardless of the temperature selector setting.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Shut off all electrical power to the unit before performing any maintenance or service on the system.Failure to comply may result in personal injury or death.

Proper maintenance is most important to achieve the best performance from the appliance and should be performed by a qualiﬁ ed service technician at least once a year. Follow the maintenance schedule and the instructions below for years of safe, trouble free operation.

Regular Cleaning

•Clean or replace the indoor air ﬁ lter at the start of each heating and cooling season, and when an accumulation of dust and dirt is visible on the air ﬁ lter.

•Remove any leaves and grass clippings from the coil in the outdoor unit, being careful not to damage the aluminum ﬁ ns.

•Check for obstructions, such as twigs, sticks, etc.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the unit fails to operate, check the following:

•The thermostat is properly set. See Cooling Operation for air conditioning or Heating Operation for furnace or air handler.

•The unit disconnect fuses are in good condition and the electrical power to the unit is turned on.

WARRANTY INFORMATION

A warranty certificate with full details is included with the heat pump. Carefully review these responsibilities with your dealer or service company. The manufacturer will not be responsible for any costs found necessary to correct problems due to improper setup, improper installation, adjustments, improper operating procedure on the part of the user, etc. Some speciﬁ c examples of service calls which are not included in the limited warranty are:

•Correcting wiring problems in the electrical circuit supplying the heat pump.

•Resetting circuit breakers or other switches.

•Adjusting or calibrating of thermostat.

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.
