Step 2 — Check Unit — Upon receipt of shipment at
the jobsite, carefully check the shipment against the bill of
lading. Make sure all units have been received. Inspect the car-
ton or crating of each unit, and inspect each unit for damage.
Ensure the shipping company makes proper notation of any
shortages or damage on all copies of the freight bill. Concealed
damage not discovered during unloading must be reported to
the shipping company within 15 days of receipt of shipment.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the purchaser to file all
necessary claims with the shipping company.
1. Be sure that the location chosen for unit installation pro-
vides ambient temperatures maintained above freezing.
Well water applications are especially susceptible to
freezing.
2. Be sure the installation location is isolated from sleeping
areas, private offices and other acoustically sensitive
spaces.
NOTE: A sound control accessory package may be used
to help eliminate sound in sensitive spaces.
3. Check local codes to be sure a secondary drain pan is not
required under the unit.
4. Be sure unit is mounted at a height sufficient to provide
an adequate slope of the condensate lines. If an appropri-
ate slope cannot be achieved, a field-supplied condensate
pump may be required.
5. Provide sufficient space for duct connection. Do not
allow the weight of the ductwork to rest on the unit.
6. Provide adequate clearance for filter replacement and
drain pan cleaning. Do not allow piping, conduit, etc. to
block filter access.
7. Provide sufficient access to allow maintenance and
servicing of the fan and fan motor, compressor and coils.
Removal of the entire unit from the closet should not be
necessary.
8. Provide an unobstructed path to the unit within the closet
or mechanical room. Space should be sufficient to allow
removal of unit if necessary.
9. Provide ready access to water valves and fittings, and
screwdriver access to unit side panels, discharge collar,
and all electrical connections.
10. Where access to side panels is limited, pre-removal of the
control box side mounting screws may be necessary for
future servicing.
STORAGE — If the equipment is not needed immediately at
the jobsite, it should be left in its shipping carton and stored in a
clean, dry area of the building or in a warehouse. Units must be
stored in an upright position at all times. If carton stacking is
necessary, stack units a maximum of 3 cartons high. Do not re-
move any equipment from its shipping package until it is need-
ed for installation.
PROTECTION — Once the units are properly positioned on
the jobsite, cover them with either a shipping carton, vinyl film,
or an equivalent protective covering. Cap open ends of pipes
stored on the jobsite. This precaution is especially important in
areas where painting, plastering, or spraying of fireproof mate-
rial, etc. is not yet complete. Foreign material that accumulates
within the units can prevent proper start-up and necessitate
costly clean-up operations.
Before installing any of the system components, be sure to
examine each pipe, fitting, and valve, and remove any dirt or
foreign material found in or on these components.
INSPECT UNIT — To prepare the unit for installation, com-
plete the procedures listed below:
1. Compare the electrical data on the unit nameplate with
ordering and shipping information to verify that the
correct unit has been shipped.
2. Do not remove the packaging until the unit is ready for
installation.
3. Verify that the unit’s refrigerant tubing is free of kinks or
dents, and that it does not touch other unit components.
4. Inspect all electrical connections. Be sure connections are
clean and tight at their terminations.
5. Remove any blower support cardboard from inlet of the
blower.
6. Locate and verify any accessory kit located in compressor
and/or blower section.
7. Remove any access panel screws that may be difficult to
remove once unit is installed.
Step 3 — Locate Unit — The following guidelines
should be considered when choosing a location for a WSHP:
• Units are for indoor use only.
• Locate in areas where ambient temperatures are between
39 F and 102 F and relative humidity is no greater than
75%.
• Provide sufficient space for water, electrical and duct
connections.
• Locate unit in an area that allows easy access and removal
of filter and access panels.
• Allow enough space for service personnel to perform
maintenance.
• Return air must be able to freely enter the space if unit needs
to be installed in a confined area such as a closet.
Step 4 — Install Drywall — All rough-in instructions
and drawings are designed for a single layer of 5 /
8
in. thick dry-
wall. Refer to Fig. 6. Rough-in dimensions will be affected if
drywall thickness is different than 5 /
8
in., the return panel will
not fit snugly to the wall and form a tight seal. Install drywall
using conventional construction methods. Drywall cannot be
fastened to the studs with adhesive alone; a mechanical fasten-
er such as drywall screws must be used.
Vacuum all drywall dust and construction debris from coils,
drain pans and blower discharge plenum after cutting out sup-
ply and return holes for grilles. When installation is complete,
cover cabinet supply and return air openings.
Do not allow paint or wall texture over-spray to contact coil,
fan or other unit components. Warranties are void if paint or
other foreign debris is allowed to contaminate internal unit
components.
Step 5 — Install Cabinet and Riser
SYSTEM PIPING ARRANGEMENTS — Figure 7 shows
some of the common piping layouts for water source heat
pumps. 2-pipe systems are depicted but the same methods can
be applied to 4-pipe systems.
CAUTION
DO NOT store or install units in corrosive environments or
in locations subject to temperature or humidity extremes
(e.g., attics, garages, rooftops, etc.). Corrosive conditions
and high temperature or humidity can significantly reduce
performance, reliability, and service life. Always move
units in an upright position. Tilting units on their sides may
cause equipment damage.
