INSTALLATION CHECKLIST The following instructions cover the installation of replacement PTAC units where existing wall sleeves are utilized. Instructions for the installation of a new wall sleeve are not covered in this manual. In- stallation and maintenance should be performed by qualified personnel who are familiar with local codes and regulations, and are experienced with this type of equipment.
INSTALLATION NOTES 1- Inspect the existing wall sleeve to insure it is not damaged and that it is securely mounted in the wall. Use a level gauge to insure the sleeve is pitched properly. Be sure that any gaskets originally mounted on the wall sleeve that are missing or worn be replaced.

3. Intellitemp Electronic Control Operation (Refer to Fig. 3) Turning Unit ON for Heating and Cooling: 1- Press ON/OFF key (room temperature will appear in display) 2- Adjust set point by pressing WARM (up arrow) or COLD (down arrow) key. (While adjusting, temperature set point will appear in display.) 3- Mode operation (HEAT or COOL) will automatically be selected based on room temperature and set point temperature.

For all units equipped with electronic controls - Low Temperature Protection (Refer to Fig. 5) A standard feature of the Islandaire electronic control system is the ‘Low Temperature Protection’ option. If an indoor temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit (or lower) is detected then the heat cycle will automatically activate (even if the unit is in the OFF position).

ELECTRONIC BOARD DIAGNOSIS/TEST Each unit has two ‘built-in’ tools to assist the technician in the troubleshooting of the entire system. The first tool is the ‘Continuous System Diagnostics’, and the second tool is the ‘Automatic System Component Test’. 1- Continuous System Diagnostics: (Base or Intellitemp) The control incorporates continuous self-diagnostic checking of several system parameters and reports the status by an LED blink code on the main board.

Page 22
3- Automatic System Component Test: Intellitemp Control (to be performed only by a qualified service technician) 1- Un-plug or disconnect power to the unit. 2- Gain access to the electric box with the main board mounted within. Locate the 9-pin connector labeled EXPANSION on the main board. Pin #1 is located closest to the smaller connector labeled IAT.
Page 23
3- Place a jumper between pin #6 and pin #9 of the EXPANSION connector. 4- Be sure any wires or parts moved during installation of jumper will not cause an electrical short. 5- Reapply power to the unit and wait approximately 20 seconds, after which the unit will enter an auto- matic system component test sequence.

HEAT PUMP UNITS A heat pump operates by reversing the refrigeration cycle, absorbing heat from the outside air, and transferring this heat to the indoor air. The heat output of the heat pump reduces as outdoor temperature drops. As a result, the discharge air temperature may not be sufficiently warm to provide heating comfort in certain locations.
START UP CHECKLIST Note: Units are to be installed and checked for proper function by qualified service personnel ONLY. Check the following: • • Unit is installed in compliance with all codes Smoke and odor can occur on initial use and ordinances.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE • Keep air intake filter clean. A dirty filter reduces the efficiency of the system and can cause erratic performance of controls. It can also result in damage to the heating element and compressor. The unit is provided with a washable filter that can be cleaned with soap and water. Inspect and clean the filter at least once a month or more often as conditions dictate.
OPERATIONAL PRACTICES • Do not block airflow. Efficient operation of the unit depends on free circulation of air over the coils. Paper, leaves, and other debris can reduce efficiency and cause serious damage to the com- pressor. • Ensure that objects such as drapes, furniture, or plants are not blocking supply and return airflow. •...
