A. GENERAL
The following instructions cover 2TWR1 and 2TWR2 Heat Pump Units.
NOTE: These outdoor units may be used with indoor units equipped with Thermostatic Expansion Valve or Accutron Flow Control Check Valve (F.C.C.V.) assembly for refrigerant flow control only.
Check for transportation damage after unit is uncrated. Report promptly, to the carrier, any damage found to the unit. To determine the electrical power requirements of the unit, refer to the nameplate of the unit. The electrical power available must agree with that listed on the nameplate. The Weathertron Heat Pump has been designed and manufactured to withstand and operate in severe winter conditions. However, there are precautionary steps which should be taken at the time of installation which will help assure the efficient operation of the unit. It is recommended that these precautions be taken for units being installed in areas where snow accumulation and prolonged below freezing temperatures occur. 1. Units should be elevated 3 to 12 inches above the pad or rooftop, depending on local weather. This additional height will allow better drainage of snow and ice (melted during defrost cycle) prior to its refreezing. This should prevent a build-up of ice around the unit which occurs when unit is not elevated. Insure that drain holes in unit base pan are not obstructed preventing draining of defrost water. 2. If possible, avoid locations that are likely to accumulate snow drifts. If not possible, a snow drift barrier should be installed around the unit to prevent a build-up of snow on the sides of the unit and should be of sufficient distance from the unit to prevent restriction of airflow to and from the unit. Also allow for proper maintenance space. The barrier should be constructed of materials which will blend in with the building design. 3. Avoid locating the unit where condensation and freezing of defrost vapor may annoy the customer. For instance, installing the unit under a bedroom, kitchen, or picture window may be annoying to the customer since condensate and fog will occur during the defrost cycle. 4. Avoid locating the unit under the eaves or other overhead structures as sizeable icicles may form and the unit may be damaged by these falling icicles.

BASEPAN TAB REMOVAL
ture to prevent excess roof run-off water from pouring directly on the unit. Do not locate unit(s) close to bedroom(s). 4. The top discharge area must be unrestricted for at least five (5) feet above the unit. 5. When the outdoor unit is mounted on a roof, be sure the roof will support the units weight. Properly selected isolation is recommended to prevent transmission to the building structure. 6. The maximum length of refrigerant lines from outdoor to indoor unit should NOT exceed sixty (60) feet. 7. If outdoor unit is mounted above the air handler, maximum lift should not exceed sixty (60) feet (suction line). If air handler is mounted above condensing unit, maximum lift should not exceed sixty (60) feet (liquid line). 8. Locate and install indoor coil or air handler in accordance with instruction included with that unit.
! CAUTION
In scroll compressor applications, dome temperatures may be hot. Do not touch top of compressor, may cause minor to severe burning. The units are factory charged with the system charge required when using fifteen (15) feet of connecting line. Unit nameplate charge is the same. Final refrigerant charge adjustment is necessary. Use the Charging Charts in the outdoor unit Service Facts. 1. Determine the most practical way to run the lines. 2. Consider types of bends to be made and space limitations.
NOTE: Large diameter tubing will be very difficult to rebend once it has been shaped.
3. Determine the best starting point for routing the refrigerant tubing - -INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE STRUCTURE. 4. Provide a pull-thru hole of sufficient size to allow both liquid and gas lines. 5. Be sure the tubing is of sufficient length. 6. Uncoil the tubing --- do not kink or dent. 7. Route the tubing making all required bends and properly secure the tubing before making connections. 8. To prevent a noise within the building structure due to vibration transmission from the refrigerant lines, the following precautions should be taken: a. When the refrigerant lines have to be fastened to floor joists or other framing in a structure, use isolation type hangers.
IMPORTANT: The outdoor unit is shipped with the proper size orifice and a stick-on orifice size label in an envelope attached to the outdoor unit. Outdoor unit nameplate will have correct orifice size specified as BAYFCCV --- A for rated performance.

NOTE: Use care to make sure that no moisture enters pressure tap port, while wet rag is being used. NOTE: Precautions should be taken to avoid heat damage to basepan during brazing. It is recommended to keep the flame directly off of the basepan.
7. Use a Dry Nitrogen Purge and Brazing Alloy without flux when brazing the field line to the copper factory connection. Flow dry nitrogen into either valve pressure tap port, thru the tubing and out the other port while brazing. 8. Braze using accepted good brazing techniques. LEAK CHECK
b. Isolation hangers should also be used when refrigerant lines are run in stud spaces or enclosed ceilings. c. Where the refrigerant lines run through a wall or sill, they should be insulated and isolated. d. Isolate the lines from all ductwork.
IMPORTANT: Replace pressure tap port valve core before attaching hoses for evacuation.
After the brazing operation of refrigerant lines to both the outdoor and indoor unit is completed, the field brazed connections must be checked for leaks. Pressurize through the service valve ports, the indoor unit and field refrigerant lines with dry nitrogen to 350-400 psi. Use soap bubbles or other leak-checking methods to see that all field joints are leak-free! If not, release pressure; then repair! SYSTEM EVACUATION
! WARNING
Extreme caution should be exercised when opening the Liquid and Gas Line Service Valves. Turn valve stem counterclockwise only until the stem contacts the rolled edge. (See Figures 4 and 6) No torque is required. BRASS GAS LINE BALL SERVICE VALVE The Brass Gas Line Service Valve is shipped in the closed position to hold the factory refrigerant charge. The pressure tap service port (when depressed) opens only to the field brazing side when the valve is in the closed position. The Gas Line Service Valve is full open with a 1/4 turn. See Figure 5. BRAZING REFRIGERANT LINES 1. Remove lower access cover to access service valves. 2. Before brazing, remove plugs from external copper stub tubes. Clean internal and external surfaces of stub tubes prior to brazing. 3. Cut and fit tubing, minimizing the use of sharp 90 bends. 4. Insulate the entire gas line and its fittings. 5. Do NOT allow uninsulated liquid line to come in direct contact with bare gas line. 18-BC51D2-3
NOTE: Since the outdoor unit has a refrigerant charge, the gas and liquid line valves must remain closed.
1. Upon completion of leak check, evacuate the refrigerant lines and indoor coil before opening the gas and liquid line valves. 2. Attach appropriate hoses from manifold gauge to gas and liquid line pressure taps.
NOTE: Unnecessary switching of hoses can be avoided and complete evacuation of all lines leading to sealed system can be accomplished with manifold center hose and connecting branch hose to a cylinder of HCFC-22 and vacuum pump.

Installers Guide
3. Attach center hose of manifold gauges to vacuum pump. 4. Evacuate until the micron gauge reads no higher than 350 microns. 5. Close off valve to vacuum pump and observe the micron gauge. If gauge pressure rises above 500 microns in one (1) minute, then evacuation is incomplete or system has a leak. 6. If vacuum gauge does not rise above 500 microns in one (1) minute, the evacuation should be complete. 7. With vacuum pump and micron gauge blanked off, open valve on HCFC-22 cylinder and charge refrigerant lines and indoor coil with vapor to tank pressure of HCFC-22 supply. 5. Provide flexible electrical conduit whenever vibration transmission may create a noise problem within the structure. 6. The use of color coded low voltage wire is recommended to simplify connections between the outdoor unit, the thermostat and the indoor unit.

7. Table 1 defines maximum total length of low voltage wiring from outdoor unit, to indoor unit, and to thermostat. 8. Mount the indoor thermostat in accordance with instruction included with the thermostat. Wire per appropriate hook-up diagram (included in these instructions).
NOTE: A 3/16" Allen wrench is required to open liquid line service valve. A 1/4" Open End or Adjustable wrench is required to open gas line valve. A 3/4" Open End wrench is required to take off the valve stem cap.
9. The liquid line shut-off valve can now be opened. Remove shut-off valve cap. Fully insert hex wrench into the stem and backout counterclockwise until valve stem just touches rolled edge (approximately five [5] turns) observing WARNING statement on page 3. See Figure 4. 10. Replace liquid service pressure tap port cap and valve stem cap. These caps MUST BE REPLACED to prevent leaks. Replace valve stem and pressure tap cap finger tight, then tighten an additional 1/6 turn. 11. The gas valve can now be opened. For a ball type gas valve, open the gas valve by removing the shut-off valve cap and turning the valve stem 1/4 turn counterclockwise, using 1/4" Open End or Adjustable wrench. See Figure 5. For brass gas line service valve opening, follow 9 and 10 above. See Figure 6. 12. The gas valve is now open for refrigerant flow. Replace valve stem cap to prevent leaks. Again, these caps MUST BE REPLACED to prevent leaks. Replace valve stem and pressure tap cap finger tight, then tighten an additional 1/6 turn. See Figure 4. If refrigerant lines are longer than 15 feet and/or a different size than recommended, it will be necessary to adjust system refrigerant charge upon completion of installation. See unit Service Facts.
G. DEFROST CONTROL
The demand defrost control measures heat pump outdoor ambient temperature with a sensor located outside the outdoor coil. A second sensor located on the outdoor coil is used to measure the coil temperature. The difference between the ambient and the colder coil temperature is the difference or delta-T measurement. This delta-T measurement is representative of the operating state and relative capacity of the heat pump system. By measuring the change in delta-T, we can determine the need for defrost. The coil sensor also serves to sense outdoor coil temperature for termination of the defrost cycle. FAULT IDENTIFICATION A fault condition is indicated by the flashing light on the defrost control inside the heat pump control box. In normal operation, the defrost control light will flash once each second. If the light is flashing more than once per second or not at all, refer to the service manual for that unit. PIN IDENTIFICATION (See Figure 7.) 1. TEST_COMMON (Shorting any of the other pins to this pin causes the function of the other pin to be executed. Leaving this pin open results in the normal mode of operation.) 2. TST = Test (Shorting TEST_COMMON to this pin speeds up all defrost board timings.)

3. FRC_DFT = Forced Defrost (Short TEST_COMMON to this pin for two (2) seconds to initiate a forced defrost. Remove the short after defrost initiates.) DEFROST CONTROL CHECKOUT Normal operation requires: a. LED on board flashing 1 time/second. b. 24V AC between R & B c. 24V AC between Y & B with unit operating d. Defrost initiation when FRC_DFT pin is shorted to TEST_COMMON pin. If a defrost control problem is suspected, refer to the service information in control box.
J. ELECTRIC HEATERS
Electric heaters, if used, are to be installed in the air handling device according to the instructions accompanying the air handler and the heaters.
K. START CONTROL
Some models have quick start components which are factory installed. For models that do not have factory installed start components, provisions are made for a field installed start kit accessory. When adding an accessory, follow the instructions provided with the kit.
! WARNING
Do NOT connect 24 VAC to T1 (ODS-A) terminal. ODS-A thermistor WILL BE BLOWN.
H. COMPRESSOR START UP
After all electrical wiring is complete, SET THE THERMOSTAT SYSTEM SWITCH IN THE OFF POSITION SO COMPRESSOR WILL NOT RUN, and apply power by closing the system main disconnect switch. This will activate the compressor sump heat (where used). Do not change the Thermostat System Switch until power has been applied for one (1) hour. Following this procedure will prevent potential compressor overload trip at the initial start-up.
L. OUTDOOR THERMOSTAT
An outdoor thermostat TAYSTAT250B may be field installed. For data, see wiring diagram attached to unit and instruction sheet packaged with outdoor thermostat.
Notes: 1. Be sure power supply agrees with equipment nameplate. 2. Power wiring and grounding of equipment must comply with local codes. 3. Low voltage wiring to be No. 18 AWG minimum conductor. 4. ODT-B must be set lower than ODT-A. 5. If outdoor thermostats (ODT) are not used, connect W1 to W2 and W3. 6. N/A to programmable thermostat.
