NS SPLIT INSTALLATION MANUAL General Installation Information Safety Considerations Before performing service or maintenance operations on a system, turn off main power WARNING: switches to both units. Turn off accessory heater power switch if applicable. Electrical shock could cause personal injury. Installing and servicing heating and air conditioning equipment can be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components. Only trained and qualified ser- vice personnel should install, repair or service heating and air conditioning equipment. Installing and servicing heating and air conditioning equipment can be hazardous due to system pressure and electri- cal components. Only trained and qualified service personnel should install, repair or service heating and air conditioning equipment.
Utilizing Existing Coil or Air Handler It is recommended that a new R-410A air handler be installed with an Envision Split considering the long term benefits of reliability, warranty, etc. versus the short term installation cost savings. However, the existing air handler may be retained provided the following: •...

Connection to Air Coil Figures 1 and 2 illustrate typical Envision Split installations. The table on page 9 shows typical lineset diameters and maximum length. Linesets over 60 feet are not recommended. If the lineset is kinked or deformed and cannot be reformed, the bad section of pipe should be replaced.

Without this switch, the Envision Split will trip out on high pressure. A dual fuel thermostat can remove the Y1 and Y2 calls when a W call is energized to allow gas furnace backup on an Envision Split application.
NS SPLIT INSTALLATION MANUAL Water Piping Residential NS split units are supplied standard with GeoLink swivel connections with P.T. ports. CAUTION: Water piping exposed to outside temperatures may be subject to freezing. Water Piping The proper water flow must be provided to each unit whenever the unit operates. To assure proper flow, use pressure/ temperature ports to determine the flow rate.

NS SPLIT INSTALLATION MANUAL Heat Recovery Unit for Domestic Hot Water Service valves have been provided inside the unit for connecting the discharge gas line to a water heating heat recov- ery unit (see figure 5). To make the connections, close the service valves inside the unit by turning clockwise. Using a recovery canister connect to either of the schrader ports on the DSH service valves and recover the small amount of refrig- erant trapped inside of the U-tube.
NS SPLIT INSTALLATION MANUAL Modes of Operation Heating Operation Note: At first power up, a four-minute time delay is employed before the compressor is energized. Heat, 1st Stage (Y1) The compressor and loop pumps are energized 10 seconds after the Y1 input.

ECM Fan Monitoring - Set for No PRM on split systems No RPM NOT USED On dual capacity units this switch allows stage change: on the fly E-Series or when off, and 1 minute delay when on. A delay is required on all Envision Premier reciprocating dual capacity units.
Refrigeration The Envision series comes with a holding charge. The charge must be adjusted in the field based on performance. Refrigeration piping on the split consists of installing a brazed copper line set between the blower coil unit and the unit’s split compressor section.
The Envision unit comes with a factory pre-charge. This volume is not sufficient to run the system. Additional refrigerant must be added for the lineset. This additional charge added to the factory pre-charge of the Envision unit should be esti- mated using the following equation: Addition to Factory Charge = (lineset length x oz.

NS SPLIT INSTALLATION MANUAL Refrigeration (continued) Once the proper superheat setting has been achieved, replace and tighten the seal cap. Warning: There are 8 total (360°) turns on the superheat adjustment stem from wide open to fully closed. When adjusting the superheat stem clockwise (superheat increase) and the stop is reached, any further clockwise turning adjustment will damage the valve.
