instructions for the installation prior to installing product.

Make sure each step or procedure is understood and

any special considerations are taken into account before

starting installation. Assemble all tools, hardware and

supplies needed to complete the installation. Some items

may need to be purchased locally. Make sure everything

needed to install the product is on hand before starting.

permitted.

5.3 Interconnecting Tubing

Give special consideration to minimize the length of

refrigerant tubing when installing air handlers. Refer to

Remote Cooling / Heat Pump Service Manual RS6200006,

and TP-107 Long Line Set Application R-410A for tubing

guidelines. If possible, allow adequate length of tubing such

5.4 Clearances

The unit clearance from a combustible surface may be

0”. However, service clearance must take precedence. A

minimum of 24” in front of the unit for service clearance

is required. Additional clearance on one side or top will

be required for electrical wiring connections. Consult all

All cut ends are to be round, burr free, and clean. Failure

to follow this practice increases the chances for refrigerant

leaks. The suction line is spun closed and requires tubing

cutters to remove the closed end.

5. The outdoor temperature must be 60°F or higher.

6. Set the room thermostat to COOL, fan switch to

AUTO.

7. Set the temperature control well below room

temperature.

Superheat adjustments should not be made until indoor

ambient conditions have stabilized. This could take up to

24 hours depending on indoor temperature and humidity.

Before checking superheat run the unit in cooling for 10

minutes or until refrigerant pressures stabilize. Use the

following guidelines and methods to check unit operation

and ensure that the refrigerant charge is within limits.

1. Purge gauge lines. Connect service gauge manifold to

base-valve service ports.

2. Temporarily install a thermometer on the liquid

line at the liquid line service valve and 4-6” from

the compressor on the suction line. Ensure the

thermometer makes adequate contact and is insulated

for best possible readings. Use liquid line temperature

to determine subcooling and vapor temperature to

determine superheat.

3. Check subcooling and superheat. The system should

have a subcooling of 8°F +/- 1°F and two-stage

compressor systems should have a Subcooling of 6°F

+/- 1°F. and superheat of 8°F +/- 1°F. If subcooling

and superheat are low, adjust TXV to 8°F +/- 1°F

superheat, then check subcooling.

a. If subcooling is low and superheat is high,

add charge to raise subcooling to 8°F +/- 1°F.

Two-stage compressor systems should have a

Subcooling of 6°F +/- 1°F then check superheat.

b. If subcooling and superheat are high, adjust

TXV valve to 8°F +/- 1°F superheat, then check

subcooling.

1. Attach a pipe clamp thermometer near the suction line

service valve at the outdoor unit.

a. Ensure the thermometer makes adequate contact

for the best possible readings.

2. TXV-based systems should have a Superheat value of

8°F +/- 1°F.

3. Adjust Superheat by turning the TXV valve stem

clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to

decrease. Adjustments should be made opening or

closing the valve by no more than ¼ turn at a time.

Allow the system to stabilize 15 to 20 minutes before

making additional adjustments if necessary.

4. After adjustments are complete replace cap on

adjustment stem and tighten 1/6 turn.

5. Remove gauges and check the Schrader ports for

leaks and tighten valve cores if necessary. Install caps

12.1 Building Electrical Service Inspection

This unit is designed for single-phase electrical supply

only. DO NOT OPERATE ON A THREE-PHASE POWER

SUPPLY. Measure the power supply to the unit. The supply

voltage must be measured and be in agreement with the

unit nameplate power requirements and within the range

shown.

12.2 Wire Sizing

Wire size is important to the operation of your equipment.

Use the following check list when selecting the appropriate

wire size for your unit.

• Wire used must carry the Minimum Circuit Ampacity

sizing. The unit MCA for the air handler and the

optional electric heat kit can be found on the unit

Series and Rating Plate.

• Wire must be sized to allow no more than a 2%

voltage drop from the building breaker/fuse panel to

the unit.

• 

temperature rating used

Refer to the latest edition of the National Electric Code or in

Canada the Canadian Electric Code when determining the

correct wire size.

The building supply connects to the stripped black and red

wires contained in the air handler electrical compartment

cavity. A ground screw is also contained in this area.

Attach the Supply wires to the air handler conductors as

shown in the unit wiring diagram using appropriately sized

solderless connectors or other NEC or CEC approved

means.

12.4.2 Air Handler - Non-Circuit Breaker Heat Kits

A terminal block is provided with the HKS and HKTSD kit

to attach the power supply and air handler connections.

Follow the HKS and HKTSD Installation Manual and wiring

diagram for complete wiring details.

12.4.3 Air Handler With Circuit Breaker Heat Kit

The air handler has soft plastic cover on the upper access

panel and can be removed to allow the heater kit circuit

breaker to be installed. The circuit breakers have lugs

for power supply connection. See the HKS and HKTSD

Installation Instructions for further details.

12.5 Low Voltage Connections

Several combinations of low voltage schemes are possible,

depending on the presence of a heat kit and whether the

heat kit is single-stage or multi-stage, whether the outdoor

section is an air conditioner or heat pump, and whether

the outdoor section is single-stage or two-stage. The

24V-control voltage connects the air handler to the room

thermostat and condenser. Low voltage wiring must be

copper conductors. A minimum of 18AWG must be used

for installations up to 100 feet. Low voltage wiring must

be connected through the top of the cabinet or either side.

See the “Thermostat Wiring” section of this manual for

typical low voltage wiring connections.

12.5.1 Thermostats

Second-stage heat can be accomplished by a multi-stage

heating thermostat or the addition of an outdoor thermostat

as shown in wiring schematics on page 19. Follow the

thermostat manufacturer’s instructions for installation.

2. Connect G and dehum wire correctly

3. Dehumidistat

1) Install Dehum wire

and DO NOT install G

Wire

2) Install Dehumidistat

in living space or

return duct

Yes

Does your thermostat have a

whole house Dehumidifier

setting?

Install Dehumidistat in

living space or return

duct

If the Dehumidistat

opens on a rise on

humidity, then you

will set Dehum logic

to Low via Coolcloud

app or push buttons

If the Dehumidistat

closes on a rise in

humidity, then you

will set Dehum logic

to High via Coolcloud

app or push buttons

Thermostat only sends Dehum + G on a

call for Dehum

A Dehumidistat needs to be installed in

the living space or return duct

If the Dehumidistat opens

on a rise on humidity,

then you will set Dehum
