components. Only trained and qualified service personnel

should

install, repair, or service air-conditioning equipment.

Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance func- tions such as cleaning coils and filters and replacing filters. All other operations should be performed by trained service personnel. When working on air-conditioning equipment, ob- serve precautions in the literature, tags and labels attached to the unit, and other safety precautions that may apply.

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, main- tenance, or use can cause explosion, fire, electrical shock or other conditions which may cause personal injury or property damage. Consult a qualified installer, service agency, or a local distributor or branch for information or assistance. The qualified installer or agency must use factory-authorized kits or accessories when modifying this product. Refer to the individ- ual instructions packaged with the kits or accessories when installing.

Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Use quenching cloth for brazing operations. Have fire extinguisher available. Read these instructions thoroughly and follow all warnings or cautions attached to the unit. Consult local building codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC) for special installation requirements.

Understand the signal words — DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards that could result in personal inju- ry or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices, which would result in minor personal injury or product and property damage.

Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert symbol ( ). When this symbol is displayed on the unit and in instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.

WARNING

Electrical shock can cause personal injury or death. Before installing or servicing system, always turn off main power to system. There may be more than one disconnect switch. Turn off accessory heater power if applicable.

GENERAL

This installation and start-up instructions literature is for Aquazone™ two-stage water source heat pump systems.

Water source heat pumps (WSHPs) are single-package hori- zontally and vertically mounted units with electronic controls designed for year-round cooling and heating. Aquazone WSHPs are available in the following unit configurations:

•50PTH unit with horizontal airflow and right, left or back discharge

•50PTV unit with vertical airflow and top discharge

•50PTD unit with vertical airflow and bottom discharge (downflow)

IMPORTANT: The installation of water source heat pump units and all associated components, parts, and accessories which make up the installation shall be in accordance with the regulations of ALL authorities having jurisdiction and MUST conform to all applicable codes. It is the responsi- bility of the installing contractor to determine and comply with ALL applicable codes and regulations.

INSTALLATION

Step 1 — Check Jobsite — Installation, operation and maintenance instructions are provided with each unit. Before

unit start-up, read all manuals and become familiar with the unit and its operation. Thoroughly check out the system before operation. Complete the inspections and instructions listed below to prepare a unit for installation. See Table 1 for unit physical data.

IMPORTANT: This equipment is designed for indoor installation ONLY. Extreme variations in temperature, humidity and corrosive water or air will adversely affect the unit performance, reliability and service life.

HORIZONTAL UNIT (50PTH) — Horizontal units are design- ed for indoor installation only. Be sure to allow adequate space around the unit for servicing. See Fig. 1 for overall unit dimen- sions. Refer to Fig. 2 for an illustration of a typical horizontal installation.

VERTICAL AND DOWNFLOW UNITS (50PTV, PTD) — Vertical units are designed for indoor installations. While verti- cal units are typically installed in a floor-level closet or a small mechanical room, the unit access guidelines for these units are very similar to those described for horizontal units. See Fig. 3 and 4 for overall dimensions. Refer to Fig. 5 for an example of a typical vertical installation. Refer to Fig. 6 for a sample downflow installation.

CAUTION

To avoid equipment damage, do not use these units as a source of heating or cooling during the construction pro- cess. The mechanical components and filters used in these units quickly become clogged with construction dirt and debris which may cause system damage.

Step 2 — Check Unit — Upon receipt of shipment at the jobsite, carefully check the shipment against the bill of lading. Make sure all units have been received. Inspect the car- ton or crating of each unit, and inspect each unit for damage. Ensure the shipping company makes proper notation of any shortages or damage on all copies of the freight bill. Concealed damage not discovered during unloading must be reported to the shipping company within 15 days of receipt of shipment.

NOTE: It is the responsibility of the purchaser to file all necessary claims with the shipping company.

1.Be sure that the location chosen for unit installation pro- vides ambient temperatures maintained above freezing. Well water applications are especially susceptible to freezing.

2.Be sure the installation location is isolated from sleeping areas, private offices and other acoustically sensitive spaces.

NOTE: A sound control accessory package may be used to help eliminate sound in sensitive spaces.

3.Check local codes to be sure a secondary drain pan is not required under the unit.

4.Be sure unit is mounted at a height sufficient to provide an adequate slope of the condensate lines. If an appropri- ate slope cannot be achieved, a field-supplied condensate pump may be required.

5.Provide sufficient space for duct connection. Do not allow the weight of the ductwork to rest on the unit.

6.Provide adequate clearance for filter replacement and drain pan cleaning. Do not allow piping, conduit, etc. to block filter access.

7.Provide sufficient access to allow maintenance and servicing of the fan and fan motor, compressor and coils. Removal of the entire unit from the closet should not be necessary.
