CODES AND REGULATIONS
The *PH/C M-series heat pumps are designed for OUTDOOR
USE ONLY. *PH M-Series is available in cooling capacities of
2, 2.5 3, 4 and 5 nominal tons of cooling. The GPC is only
available in 2 thru 4 ton. Optional field installed heat kits are
available in 5,8,10,15 and 20 kW. The units can be easily
installed in manufactured or modular homes with existing
high-static duct work. The units can also be easily converted
to accommodate a plenum for normal or low-static
applications. The *PH/C M-series are self contained packaged
units so the only connections needed for installation are the
supply and return ducts, the line and low voltage wiring and
drain connection. The units are ETL listed and AHRI certified.
The information on the rating plate is in compliance with the
FTC & DOE rating for single phase units.

This product is designed and manufactured to permit
installation in accordance with National Codes. It is the
installer's responsibility to install the product in accordance
with National Codes and/or prevailing local codes and
regulations.
MAJOR COMPONENTS
The unit includes a hermetically sealed refrigerating system
(consisting of a compressor, condenser coil, evaporator coil
with flowrator), an indoor blower, a condenser fan and all
necessary internal electrical wiring. The heat pump also
includes a reversing valve, solenoid, defrost thermostat and
control and loss of charge protection. The system is factory-
evacuated, charged and performance tested. Refrigerant
amount and type are indicated on rating plate.

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS
Before attempting any installation, the following points should be
considered:
•
Structural strength of supporting members
•
Clearances and provision for servicing
•
Power supply and wiring
•
Air duct connections
•
Drain facilities and connections
•
Location may be on any four sides of a home,
manufactured or modular, to minimize noise

LEARANCES AND
CCESSIBILITY
The unit is designed to be located outside the building with
unobstructed condenser air inlet and discharge. Additionally,
the unit must be situated to permit access for service and
installation. Condenser air enters from three sides. Air
discharges upward from the top of the unit. Refrigerant gauge
connections are made on the right side of the unit as you face
the compressor compartment. Electrical connections can be
made either on the right, bottom or duct panel side of the unit.
The best and most common application is for the unit to be
located 10" from wall (4" minimum) with the connection side
facing the wall. This "close to the wall" application minimizes
exposed wiring.
Close to the wall application assures free, unobstructed air
to the other two sides. In more confined application spaces,
such as corners provide a minimum 12" clearance on all air
inlet sides. Allow 36" minimum for service access to the
compressor compartment and controls. The top of the unit
should be completely unobstructed. If units are to be located
under an overhang, there should be a minimum of 48"
clearance and provisions made to deflect the warm discharge
air out from the overhang.
U
NIT LOCATION
Consider the affect of outdoor fan noise on conditioned space
and any adjacent occupied space. It is recommended that
the unit be placed so that condenser air discharge does not
blow toward windows less than 25 feet away. Consideration
should also be given to shade and unit appearance.
Heat pumps require special location consideration in areas of
.
heavy snow accumulation and/or areas with prolonged continu-
ous subfreezing temperatures. Heat pump unit bases have holes
under the outdoor coil to permit drainage of defrost water accumu-
lation. The unit must be situated to permit free unobstructed drain-
age of the defrost water and ice. A minimum 2" clearance under
the outdoor coil is required in the milder climates.

EVEL
RE
The unit should be set on a solid, level foundation - preferably
a concrete slab at least 4 inches thick. The slab should be
above ground level and surrounded by a graveled area for
good drainage. Any slab used as a unit's foundation should
not adjoin the building as it is possible that sound and
vibration may be transmitted to the structure.
