SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: Safety markings are used
frequently throughout this manual to designate
a degree or level of seriousness and should not
be ignored. WARNING indicates a potentially
hazardous situation that if not avoided, could
result in personal injury or death. CAUTION
indicates a potentially hazardous situation that
if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury or property damage.
ABOUTTHE AIR CONDITIONER
Your 16 SEER air conditioner has been carefully
designed and engineered to give you outstanding
energy efficiency and years of trouble-free
operation. This appliance uses only proven
components, such as the UItra-tech Copeland®
scroll compressor, a leaders choice for efficiency,
durability, and longevity.
What are the benefits of a split system?
Split systems are designed to work efficiently
for cooling in any climate. Split systems have
two main components: the outdoor section (air
conditioner or heat pump) and the indoor section
(matched air handler or coil). These two sections
work together to provide top performance,
maximum efficiency, and comfort.
What are the benefits of two stage; variable
speed cooling?
= Two stage cooling products maintain a more
consistent comfort level throughout your
home. The AC always starts in first stage and
attempts to meet the cooling demand. When
the temperature rises, the air conditioner or
heat pump automatically adjusts itself and
enters the second stage to meet increased
cooling demands.
= Atwostage, variable-speed unit runs for longer
cycles and will remove up to six times more
moisture than a conventional unit. The result
is a more comfortable environment even at
a higher thermostat setting.
. Since the fan operates slower during the low
stage cooling demand, the fan motor produces
less fan noise. The variable speed motor
ramps up slowly, eliminating uncomfortable
temperature swings. Since the unit runs at the
stage needed based off demand, you never
pay for energy that is not needed.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Please refer to the thermostat manufacturer's
User Manual for detailed programming
instructions.
For this type of equipment to function as intended,
a two stage cooling / heating thermostat is
required.
Cooling Operation
1. Set the thermostat's system mode to COOL
or AUTO and change the fan mode to AUTO.
See Figure 1
2. Set the temperature selector to the desired
temperature level. The outdoor fan,
compressor, and blower motor will all cycle
on and off to maintain the indoor temperature
at the desired cooling level.
NOTE: If the temperature level is re-adjusted, or
the system mode is reset, the fan and compressor
in the outdoor unit may not start immediately. A
protective timer circuit holds the compressor
and the outdoor fan off for approximately three
minutes following a previous operation or the
interruption of the main electrical power.
Heating Operation
1. Set the thermostat's system mode to HEAT
or AUTO and change the fan mode to AUTO.
See Figure 1.
2. Set the temperature seEector to the desired
temperature level. The compressor, outdoor
fan, and blower motor will cycle on and off to
maintain the indoor temperature at the desired
heating level.
NOTE: If the temperature level is re-adjusted, or
the system mode is reset, the fan and compressor
in the outdoor unit may not start immediately. A
protective timer circuit holds the compressor
and the outdoor fan off for approximately three
minutes following a previous operation or the
interruption of the main electrical power.
