WARNING
!
The manufacturer's warranty does not cover any damage or defect to the
heat pump caused by the attachment or use of any components.
Accessories or devices (other than those authorized by the manufactur-
er) into, onto or in conjunction with the heat pump. You should be aware
that the use of unauthorized components, accessories or devices may
adversely affect the operation of the heat pump and may also endanger
life and property. The manufacturer disclaims any responsibility for such
loss or injury resulting from the use of such unauthorized components,
accessories or devices.

2.1 CHECKING PRODUCT RECEIVED

Upon receiving unit, inspect it for any shipping damage. Claims for damage, either
apparent or concealed, should be filed immediately with the shipping company.
Check heat pump model number, electrical characteristics and accessories to
determine if they are correct. Check system components (evaporator coil, condens-
ing unit, evaporator blower, etc.) to make sure they are properly matched.The infor-
mation contained in this manual has been prepared to assist in the proper installa-
tion, operation and maintenance of the heat pump system. Improper installation, or
installation not made in accordance with these instructions, can result in unsatisfac-
tory operation and/or dangerous conditions, and can cause the related warranty not
to apply.
Read this manual and any instructions packaged with separate equipment required
to make up the system prior to installation. Retain this manual for future reference.
To achieve optimum efficiency and capacity, the indoor cooling coils listed in the
heat pump specification sheet should be used.
2.2 APPLICATION
Before installing any heat pump equipment, a duct analysis of the structure and a
heat gain calculation must be made. A heat gain calculation begins by measuring all
external surfaces and openings that gain heat from the surrounding air and quanti-
fying that heat gain. A heat gain calculation also calculates the extra heat load
caused by sunlight and by humidity removal.
There are several factors that the installers must consider:
• Outdoor unit location
• System refrigerant charge
• Indoor unit blower speed
• System air balancing
• Proper equipment evacuation
• Indoor unit airflow
• Supply and return air duct design and sizing
• Diffuser and return air grille location and sizing
