Unpack and inspect all components. Ensure proper location and clearances.
WARNING! Installation must be performed by a qualified HVAC technician in accordance with all local codes and manufacturer instructions. Incorrect installation can cause property damage, personal injury, or death.
After mechanical installation, system must be commissioned for proper operation.
CAUTION! Never start the compressor without verifying correct voltage and phase. Always use proper manifold gauges when checking refrigerant pressure.
Primary control is through the communicating thermostat. Outdoor unit has an integrated control board with LED status indicator.
Thermostat Functions: Mode (Heat/Cool/Auto/Off), Fan (Auto/On), Temperature Setpoint, Scheduling, System Status, Alerts, Advanced Settings (dehumidify, fan speed).
Outdoor Unit LED Codes: Steady Green = Normal Operation. Flashing Codes indicate specific faults (e.g., 1 flash = Low Pressure, 2 flashes = High Pressure, 3 flashes = Compressor Fault). Refer to service manual for full code list.
Configuration DIP Switches/Jumpers: Located on control board for optional settings (e.g., thermostat type compatibility, low ambient cooling lockout). Do not adjust unless specified.
For optimal performance, use an American Standard AccuLink communicating thermostat.
Tip: Always use a new, high-quality thermostat. Ensure wire connections are tight and correct before restoring power.
The system automatically adjusts capacity based on indoor temperature demand.
WARNING! Do not switch between heating and cooling modes rapidly. Allow several minutes between mode changes to prevent compressor damage.
Regular maintenance ensures efficiency, longevity, and warranty compliance.
| Frequency | Task | Performed By |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly | Check/Replace air filter (indoors) | Homeowner |
| Annually (Spring) | Pre-season cooling check: Clean outdoor coil, check refrigerant charge, inspect electrical connections, verify system operation. | Qualified Technician |
| Annually (Fall) | Pre-season heating check: Inspect defrost cycle, check all safety controls, verify thermostat calibration. | Qualified Technician |
| As Needed | Clear debris from around outdoor unit, ensure condensate drain is clear. | Homeowner/Technician |
Outdoor Unit: Keep area clear of leaves, grass, snow (at least 24 inches). Gently clean coil fins with a soft brush or low-pressure water from the inside out. Do not use a pressure washer.
Indoor Unit: Ensure filter is clean. Have ductwork inspected periodically. Keep supply and return vents unobstructed.
CAUTION! Always turn off electrical power before performing any cleaning near electrical components. Do not bend or damage the delicate aluminum fins on the coils.

| Symptom | Possible Cause | Corrective Action |
|---|---|---|
| System not turning on | Power loss, tripped breaker, blown fuse, thermostat issue. | Check disconnect and breakers. Verify thermostat has power and is set correctly. |
| Insufficient cooling/heating | Dirty filter, blocked registers, low refrigerant, dirty coils. | Replace filter. Clear obstructions. Contact technician for refrigerant/coil check. |
| Outdoor unit fan not running (but compressor is) | Fan motor failure, capacitor issue, control board fault. | Turn system OFF. Contact a qualified technician immediately. |
| Ice on outdoor coil (in heating) | Normal during defrost cycle. Excessive ice indicates low charge, dirty coil, or defrost control failure. | If defrost cycle does not clear ice within 30 mins, turn system OFF and call for service. |
| Unusual noises (grinding, screeching) | Loose parts, failing motor bearings, debris in fan. | Turn system OFF. Inspect for visible debris. Contact technician. |
| LED fault code flashing | System fault detected (pressure, temperature, electrical). | Note the flash pattern. Turn system OFF. Provide code to service technician. |
Reset: Turning thermostat to OFF and then back to desired mode may clear minor lockouts. For persistent issues, power down the entire system at the disconnect for 5 minutes, then restore power.
Service Note: Most diagnostics and repairs require a qualified HVAC technician with proper tools and training. Do not attempt to repair refrigerant circuit or electrical components yourself.
