The purpose of this bulletin is to provide cumulative application criteria as related to the American Standard Allegiance / Heritage16 cooling units and heat pumps. This bulletin discusses: I. Off Season Cooling Operation II. Unit Mounting III. Minimum Operating Clearances IV.
Section I - Off Season Cooling Operation The American Standard Allegiance / Heritage 16 may be operated in the cooling mode to F as shipped from the factory. These units shall only be matched with variable speed air handling units or variable speed furnace / coil combinations. The coils have factory supplied non - bleed TXV’s.

Typical wiring when using the evaporator defrost control (EDC) for operation Note: Remove factory installed jumper between R and BK at the fan control board. Connect R to O on the terminal strip These terminals on the AHU / Gas furnace must be jumpered together. Please refer to the equipment’s installation manual for complete control wiring.
BAYECMT001 is not suitable for seizmic restraint; please refer to local professionals who specialize in seizmic restraint. When mounting or securing American Standard 1 - 6 ton condensing units and heat pumps please observe the following: 1. Anytime the unit is to be supported from the edge, the supporting material shall extend a minimum of two inches under the perimeter of the unit’s base.

Drill 4 places BASE 4 If supporting the base pan from the perimeter, the support must extend under the base pan at least 2”. American Standard recommends supporting the middle of the base pan with a cross member. Pg. 6...
Section III - Minimum Operating Clearances This section discusses applying a condensing unit / heat pump in installations where there are space constraints. These concerns must be addressed: 1. System Operation - Adequate airflow must be provided to the condensing unit / heat pump in order to enable appropriate heat transfer.
