IWITIAL START-UP
The 38CQ unit is equipped with a crankcase
heater. It is recommended that heater be energized 
a minimum of 24 hours before starting unit. To 
energize heater only, turn the thermostat to OFF 
position and close electrical disconnect to heat 
pump.
Heat Anticipator Settings for Room Thermostat
(HH07AT071) — Set anticipator settings for room 
thermostat according to Table 5. These settings 
may be changed slightly to provide a greater degree 
of comfort for a particular installation.

Accessory Outdoor Thermostat
provides adjustable
outdoor control of accessory electric heater. This 
thermostat makes contact when a drop in outdoor 
temperature occurs. It energizes a stage of electric 
heat when the outdoor temperature setting is 
reached, provided the room thermostat is on the 
second stage of heating. One outdoor thermostat is 
recommended for each stage of electric heat after 
the first stage. Set the outdoor thermostat(s) 
progressively lower for each stage. Refer to heat 
load of building and unit capacity to determine the 
correct outdoor thermostat settings.
The accessory emergency heat relay is required
when 2 outdoor thermostats are used. It is auto
matically energized by the manually operated
emergency heat switch in the indoor thermostat 
subbase. The thermostat locks out compressor and 
the relay bypasses the outdoor thermostats for 
electric heater operation during heat pump shut
down. When one outdoor thermostat is used, an 
emergency heat relay is not required. The emer
gency heat switch in the indoor thermostat subbase 
bypasses outdoor thermostat, locks out compressor 
and activates electric heater. See 40FS Indoor Unit 
and Electric Heater Installation, Start-Up and 
Service Instructions for installation of emergency 
heat relay.
Accessory Outdoor Thermostat(s) Installation —
Install outdoor thermostat at a suitable location on 
the outside of the control box. Use any free hole 
to fasten thermostat bracket. Be sure that engage
ment screw does not interfere with wiring or 
components inside of control box Thermostat 
bracket may be secured with only one screw; 
however, make sure that bracket is firmly attached 
to resist vibration forces. If a free hole is not 
available, drill hole in control box after assuring 
that drilling will not damage any components 
inside of box If a second thermostat is used, 
follow the procedure outlined above. If there is no 
available space on the control box for a second 
thermostat, mount the 2 thermostats together. 
Connect the 2 thermostats with a machine screw, 
lock washer and nut, and then mount assembled 
thermostats to the control box (See Fig. 8a). 
Route the capillary and attached bulb below the 
control box to the upper portion of the outdoor 
coil grille. Carefully insert the bulb between the 
tube sheet and nearest vertical grille wire. Place the 
bulb across the grille and fasten with wire, wire ties 
or other suitable fastener (See Fig. 8b). Never 
expose bulb to direct sunlight. If necessary, shield 
bulb with appropriate material.
Replace access wrapper on unit. Check that
capillary is not pinched by wrapper
To Start Unit
— (Make sure crankcase heater has
been energized for 24 hours.) Adjust the thermo
stat as follows:
1. Set selector switch at OFF.
2. Turn on main disconnect switch(es) to indoor
and outdoor units.
3. Set fan switch as desired (ON or AUTO.).
4. Set thermostat dial at desired temperature.
5. Set selector switch at HEAT or COOL.
Check system refrigerant charge. See Refrig
erant Charging.
SERVICE
Refrigerant Charging
— The 38CQ units contain
correct operating charge for complete system when 
connected to 40FS/28MQ or 40AQ indoor units 
with 25 ft of tubing of recommended diameter. 
Charge adjustment is required on other systems. 
Adjust system charge for refrigerant line lengths 
and diameters that differ from 25 ft and 3/8-in.
