WARNING
!
The manufacturer's warranty does not cover any damage or defect to the
air conditioner caused by the attachment or use of any components.
Accessories or devices (other than those authorized by the manufactur-
er) into, onto or in conjunction with the air conditioner. You should be
aware that the use of unauthorized components, accessories or devices
may adversely affect the operation of the air conditioner and may also
endanger life and property. The manufacturer disclaims any responsibility
for such loss or injury resulting from the use of such unauthorized compo-
nents, accessories or devices.
The information contained in this manual has been prepared to assist in the proper
installation, operation and maintenance of the heat pump equipment. Improper
installation, or installation not made in accordance with these instructions, can result
in unsatisfactory operation and/or dangerous conditions, and can cause the related
warranty not to apply.
Read this manual and any instructions packaged with separate equipment required
to make up the system prior to installation. Retain this manual for future reference.
To achieve optimum efficiency and capacity, the indoor cooling coils listed in the
heat pump specification sheet should be used.

2.1 CHECKING PRODUCT RECEIVED

Upon receiving unit, inspect it for any shipping damage. Claims for damage, either
apparent or concealed, should be filed immediately with the shipping company.
Check heat pump model number, electrical characteristics and accessories to
determine if they are correct. Check system components to make sure they are
properly matched.

2.2 APPLICATION

Before installing any heat pump equipment, a duct analysis of the structure and a
heat gain calculation must be made. A heat gain calculation begins by measuring
all external surfaces and openings that gain heat from the surrounding air and
quantifying that heat gain. A heat gain calculation also calculates the extra heat
load caused by sunlight and by humidity removal.
There are several factors that installers must consider.
• Outdoor unit location
• Proper equipment evacuation • Supply and return air duct design and sizing
• Refrigerant charge
• Indoor unit air flow
• Indoor unit blower speed
• System air balancing
• Diffuser and return air grille location and sizing
