FOR MOST INSTALLATIONS (Read all steps before installation ­ not necessarily in order) 9/25/2023
1. CONFIRM PROPER CHARGE, AIRFLOW, SYSTEM ORIENTATION - The VCD-Series of inverter heat pumps are designed and manufactured to meet specific levels of AHRI-Rated efficiency when matched with appropriate Air Handlers and Coils. Failure to confirm may reduce energy efficiency, shorten equipment life, and cause nuisance service calls. Follow IOM information to ensure Air Handlers and Multiposition Coils are oriented in the right direction for airflow and drainage.
· Systems are pre-charged for 25' of line set. Add 0.69oz per foot of additional line set beyond the factory-charged 25' length.
· For Systems utilizing outdoor VCD heat pump systems without the factory match air handler, ensure airflows are nominal to the specific cfm rates in the tables provided in the IOM manual. This includes any furnace used with the match MCD-Series coil, or any other non-OEM air handler.
2. CHOOSE CONTROL AND WIRING STRATEGY ­ The VCD-Series can be uniquely fitted to a variety of control options, with designated specific wiring required.

3. SET INDOOR AH DIPSWITCHES FOR APPLICATION ­ Power down before switch adjustments

SW1 Dipswitches (Default ALL OFF)

· Proprietary Controller + 2-Wire S1/S2 to Outdoor

ALL OFF (Default) · 24VAC Tstat 18/10 Wire + 2-Wire S1/S2 to Outdoor

Rotary Dial S3

1 ON (2,3,4 OFF)

· 24VAC Tstat 18/10 Wire + 18/6 to Outdoor 1 & 4 ON (2 & 3 OFF)

NOTE: SW1 dipswitch #2 controls "Anti-Cold" FanStop during heating. To disable Fan-Stop during heating operation, turn switch ON.

SW2 Dipswitches (Default ALL OFF) · Recommended
1 ON (2,3,4 OFF)
NOTE: SW2 dipswitch #4 can enable lockout of either auxiliary heat or compressor via outdoor temperatures using Rotary Dial S3. If desired, review Rotary Dial temperature chart in IOM. DEFAULT Position for switch and dial enable NO LIMIT.
SW3 Dipswitches (Default ALL OFF) · Recommended
1,2,3 ON (4 OFF)
NOTE: SW3 dipswitch #4 can enable TURBO fan speed for cooling in 24VAC thermostats. If desired, turn ON to add approx. 10% more airflow in cooling. For 24VAC Stats + VCD Air Handler ONLY.

SW4 Dipswitches (Default ALL OFF)
· Recommended
ALL OFF
NOTE: SW4 Dipswitches alter fan speed and is not recommended to change from factory settings.

3. SET INDOOR AH DIPSWITCHES FOR APPLICATION ­ Power down before switch adjustments (Cont'd.)
S2 Dipswitches (Default ALL OFF) · Recommended ALL OFF *NOTE: NOT USED
S4 Dipswitches (Default ALL ON) · Recommended ALL ON
*NOTE: Dipswitch #1 in ON position enables W1 and W2 (Electric Heat Stg.1 and Stg 2) to be engaged simultaneously. OFF will stage W1 and W2 separately. Dipswitch #2 in ON position disables dehum feature for slower fan operation. To enable dehum feature, turn Dipswitch #2 OFF. Dehum feature requires 24VAC thermostat with dehum terminal or dehumidistat that removes a 24VAC signal upon a rise in humidity - resulting in lower fan speed during cooling. Warning: cooling may continue past setpoint to meet dehumidification causing some discomfort.
4. SET OUTDOOR DIPSWITCHES FOR APPLICATION ­ Power down before switch adjustments CN6 Dipswitches (Default ALL OFF) · 2-Wire S1/S2 ALL OFF
· 18/6 Thermostat Wire 2,3 ON 1,4 OFF

5. SINGLE-POINT CONNECTION KITS ­ where code requires, single-point supply wiring can be achieved through the following means:

A. For 5kW, 8kW, and 10kW Electric Heat Kits ­ in lieu of a separate circuit for the air handler, wire terminal block with appropriate gauge conductors from load-side of breaker. Reference IOM and consult local and NEC wiring guidelines/codes.

Two-Circuit

Single-Circuit

B. For 15kW or 20kW Electric Heat Kits ­ In lieu of a separate circuit for the air handler, wire terminal block with appropriate gauge conductors from load-side of breaker. Additionally, attach accessory UEB1-701004-JPF Single Point Connection Kit to line-side of dual breaker assembly. New Single-Circuit conductors must be the appropriate gauge for the requisite load capacity. Reference IOM and consult local and NEC wiring guidelines/codes.
