1.5 General Operation Refrigerant Cycle Marvair heat pumps use R-410A refrigerant in a conventional vapor-compression refrigeration cycle to transfer heat. In the cooling mode, a double blower assembly blows indoor air across the evaporator (indoor coil). Liquid refrigerant passing through the evaporator is boiled into gas by heat removed from the air.

Operation Power The Marvair PCB requires 24 VAC to operate. When the board is sufficiently powered, the “PWR” status light on the PCB illuminates “Green.” When the power supply voltage is 16vac or less for 10 seconds the control board will de-energize all outputs. This is considered a voltage brownout (low voltage) condition and the display of the control board will show “03”...

3.3 Installation Materials Installation Kits Marvair Heat Pumps have built-in mounting flanges that function as side brackets. All models require and are shipped with a bottom mounting bracket. On units with the "N" ventilation option, there is a fresh air hood factory installed behind the lower front panel.
Additional Items Needed: Additional hardware and miscellaneous supplies (not furnished by Marvair ) are needed for installation. ® For example, the list below contains approximate quantities of items typically needed for mounting a unit on a wood frame wall structure with standard full length mounting bracket or flanges. Concrete or fiberglass structures have different requirements.

1. Place the thermostat system switch to "Auto" or "Heat" and the fan to "Auto". 2. Raise the heating set point temperature to a setting which is higher than the room temperature. The fan and compressor should cycle on after time delay (standard on Marvair heat pumps with economizer) has cycled.
(temperature). Marvair recommends 70ºF and no lower than 68ºF and no higher than 78ºF. Allow the refrigerant system to stabilize for at least five minutes and adjust the temperature as desired.
4.4 Ventilation System Set-Up: Manual Fresh Air System (Configuration N). This is the standard ventilation system in Marvair 8AA heat pumps. Fresh air ventilation by means of a damper can provide up to 15% of rated air flow of outside air. The damper has four positions corresponding to 0, 5, 10 and 15% of rated air flow of outside air.

The indoor evaporator fan motor is cycled by the blower timed delay relay. See Figure 9. Due to the large number of variations and options available for the Marvair heat pumps, it is not practical to include every possible wiring schematic in this manual. The following schematics are typical. Included in each heat pump is the electrical schematic for that unit.
7.1 Scheduled Maintenance Marvair strongly recommends that the heat pump be serviced a minimum of twice a year – once prior to the heating season and once prior to the cooling season. At this time the filters, evaporator coil, condenser coil, the cabinet, and condensate drains should be serviced as described below.
5 Years Compressor If any part of your Marvair, Inc. unit fails within 90 days of the commencement of the warranty, Marvair, Inc. will furnish without charge, EX Works, Cordele, Georgia, the required replacement part and pay for the labor to replace the part in accordance with the Marvair, Inc.
