ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL General Installation Information Safety Considerations Before performing service or maintenance operations on a system, turn off main power switches WARNING: to the indoor unit. If applicable, turn off the accessory heater power switch. Electrical shock could cause personal injury.
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 ben- efits 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.
ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Water Piping Figure 3: Swivel Connections (Residential Units) The proper water flow must be provided to each unit whenever the unit operates. To assure proper flow, use pressure/temperature ports to deter- mine the flow rate. These ports should be located at the supply and return water connections on the unit.
Notes: Lineset charge for R410A is 0.50 oz. per ft. for 3/8" and 1.0 oz. per ft. for 1/2" tube. Initial Total System Charge = Factory Envision Split charge + lineset charge + 20 oz, then adjust charge by subcooling and superheat measurements.
ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Open Loop - Well Water Systems Typical open loop piping is shown below. Always maintain water pressure in the heat exchanger by placing water con- trol valves at the outlet of the unit to prevent mineral precipitation. Use a closed bladder type expansion tank to minimize mineral formation due to air exposure.
ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Open Loop - Well Water Systems (continued) Solenoid Wiring Water control valves draw their power directly from a unit’s 24V transformer and can overload and possibly burn out the transformer. Check total VA draw of the water valve and ensure that it is under 15 VA.
ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Closed Loop Ground Source Systems Note: For closed loop systems with antifreeze protection, set SW2-2 to the “loop” position (see table on page 21). Once piping is completed between the unit, pumps and the ground loop (see figure below), final purging and charging of the loop is required.

(loop or well). Allowing the desuperheater pump to operate during these conditions actually removes heat from the DHW circulating through the unit. To overcome this, Envision unit microprocessors have been programmed to disengage the desuperheater pump during such conditions. (During low capacity cooling operation, the pump will operate only if the DHW temperature entering the unit is less than the liquid line temperature plus 35º...
ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Plumbing Installation Inspect the dip tube in the water heater cold inlet for a check valve. If a check valve is present it must be removed or damage to the desuperheater circulator will occur. 2. Remove drain valve and fitting.
ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Electrical General Be sure the available power is the same voltage and phase as that shown on the unit serial plate. Line and low voltage wiring must be done in accordance with local codes or the National Electric Code, whichever is applicable. See unit electri- cal data for fuse or cicuit breaker sizing information.

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.

ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL 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.
