WSV* IOM GENERAL INFORMATION The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for CAUTION equipment installed in violation of any code R-410A Systems operate at higher pressures than standard requirement. R-22 systems. Do not use R-22 service equipment or These instructions give information relative to the components on R-410A equipment.
WSV* IOM INTRODUCTION (CONTINUED) Check filter media installation to ensure that it is Cooling Tower/Boiler and Geo Thermal Applications installed correctly. Use the directional arrows or other should have sufficient antifreeze solution when required information on the filter to determine the proper flow to protect against extreme conditions and equipment direction.
WSV* IOM INSTALLATION (CONTINUED) CONDENSATE DRAIN The condensate drain must be in conformance with all plumbing codes. The condensate drain must be connected to the heat pump and pitched away from the unit a minimum 1/8” per foot to allow the condensate to flow away from the unit.
WSV* IOM INSTALLATION (CONTINUED) FILTER BRACKETS Figure 1- Filter Bracket Detail WARNING Filter brackets are shipped within the unit, they are located within the blower compartment and must be mounted to the external cabinet prior to mounting/installing the unit. Refer to Figure 1 – Filter Bracket Detail. *WSVC/*WSVX SERIES IOM (Rev.
WSV* IOM INSTALLATION (CONTINUED) AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCTS WARNING All duct work must be installed in accordance with National Fire Protection Association Codes 90A and 90B. Three phase units are supplied with phase monitors which Ducts should be adequately insulated to prevent restrict power from being applied out of phase, unbalanced or when there is a loss of phase.

WSV* IOM INSTALLATION (CONTINUED) Units are supplied with either a copper or optional Ball valves should be installed in the supply and return cupro-nickel water to refrigerant heat exchangers. lines for unit isolation and unit water flow balancing. Copper is adequate for ground water that is not high in Pressure/temperature ports are recommended in both mineral content.
WSV* IOM SYSTEM APPLICATIONS COOLING TOWER/BOILER APPLICATION A secondary heat exchanger (plate frame between the To assure optimum cooling and heating performance, unit and the open cooling tower) may also be used. It is the cooling tower and boiler water loop temperature imperative that all air is eliminated from the closed loop should be maintained between 55-75 degrees F in the side of the heat exchanger to prevent condenser fouling.
WSV* IOM EXTENDED RANGE OPERATION: EARTH COUPLED SYSTEMS Piping systems expected to utilize water temperatures below 50 degrees require the extended range option WARNING which includes closed cell insulation on all piping surfaces to eliminate condensation. This application Closed loop and pond applications require specialized design requires sufficient antifreeze solution to protect the knowledge.
WSV* IOM SYSTEM CHECK-OUT & START - UP UNIT START-UP SYSTEM CHECK-OUT Set the thermostat to its highest setting. After completing the installation and before energizing Set the thermostat system switch to “COOL” and the unit, the following system checks should be made: the fan switch to the “AUTO”...
WSV* IOM BLOWER SPEED SELECTION UNITS with PSC MOTOR All units have a 3 or 4 speed motor so the blower can be field adjusted to a higher speed tab when the system application has higher static requirements. Refer to the unit specification sheet and wiring diagram for speed selections.
WSV* IOM SYSTEM MAINTENANCE To ensure maximum performance and service life of Periodic lockouts almost always are caused by air or equipment, a formal schedule of regular preventative water problems. The lockout (shutdown) of the unit is a maintenance must be established and adhered to. normal protective measure in the design of the equipment.
