INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR DC-2 DRAIN KIT STEP 1 Before sliding the chassis into the outer shell, turn the chassis on its side and add a drain hole by drilling a 1/2" diameter hole as shown in Figure 1. STEP 2 DC-2 mounts to the bottom of the outer shell as shown in Figure 2 on the right side as you face the unit.
COMPONENT OPERATION AND TESTING GROUND TEST Use an ohmmeter set on its highest scale. Touch WARNING one lead to the compressor body (clean point of contact, as a good connection is a must) DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER and the other probe in turn to each compressor TO THE UNIT BEFORE SERVICING OR terminal.
THERMAL OVERLOAD (External) TERMINAL OVERLOAD (Internal) Some compressors are equipped with an external Some model compressors are equipped with an overload which is located in the compressor internal overload. The overload is embedded terminal box adjacent to the compressor body. in the motor windings to sense the winding (See Figure 3:) The overload is wired in series temperature and/or current draw.

THERMOSTAT FIGURE 12 SYSTEM CONTROL SWITCH ("KQ" Models) - (See Figure 13) (Heat Pump & Electric Heat Models) The thermostat (part number 613-503-10) is used to cycle the compressor on, and maintain the temperature at the comfort level desired. The thermostat has a range from 63 ±...
TEST FIGURE 14 THERMOSTAT BULB LOCATION Remove the wires from the thermostat. Turn the ("KQ" Models Only) thermostat to its coldest position. Check to see if there is continuity between the two terminals. Turn the thermostat to its warmest position. Check continuity to see of the thermostat contacts open.
A resistor (anticipator) is positioned within a RESISTOR (See Figure 17) plastic block to supply a small amount of heat (Heat Anticipator) to the bulb area to prevent long "off cycles" in the "Cool-Fan Auto" (MoneySaver) position. Failure of the resistor will cause prolonged "off" (See Figure 16.) A current feedback through and "on"...

REFRIGERANT FLOW CHART — HEAT PUMP MODELS Cooling Cycle (Refer to Chart Below) In the cooling cycle, both capillary tubes feed the evaporator coil. Heating Cycle (Refer to Chart Below) In the heating cycle, the one–way check is closed and the refrigerant flows through one capillary only to the condenser.
Routine Maintenance NOTE: Units are to be inspected and serviced by qualified service personnel only. Clean the unit air intake filter at least every 250 to 300 fan hours of operation or when the unit's indicator light is on if so equipped.
