This equipment must be installed by a qualified HVAC technician in accordance with all applicable codes and the manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING! Installation by unqualified personnel or improper installation can result in equipment damage, personal injury, or death. Always follow safety procedures when handling refrigerant and electrical components.
After installation, the system must be properly commissioned for optimal performance.
CAUTION! Never operate system without proper refrigerant charge or with restricted airflow. This can cause compressor damage.
Primary control is through the compatible communicating thermostat. The outdoor unit has diagnostic LEDs and DIP switches for configuration.
Thermostat Functions: Mode selection (Heat/Cool/Auto/Off), Temperature setpoint, Fan control (Auto/On), System status, Alerts, Scheduling, Advanced settings (if enabled).
Outdoor Unit DIP Switches: May be used to configure options such as thermistor type, defrost parameters, or communication addresses (consult installation manual).
Diagnostic LEDs: Flash patterns indicate normal operation, standby mode, or fault conditions. Refer to service manual for code interpretation.
For full functionality, use an American Standard AccuLink® communicating thermostat.
Tip: For non-communicating thermostats, conventional wiring can be used, but advanced features will not be available. Refer to the installation manual for conventional wiring diagrams.
The system automatically adjusts capacity based on indoor and outdoor conditions.
WARNING! Do not switch between heating and cooling modes rapidly. Allow several minutes between mode changes to protect the compressor.
Regular maintenance is essential for efficiency, performance, and longevity.
CAUTION! Always turn off electrical power before performing any maintenance. Do not attempt to service refrigerant circuit; this must be done by a certified technician.

| Symptom | Possible Cause | Corrective Action |
|---|---|---|
| System not turning on | Power loss, tripped breaker, thermostat issue | Check circuit breaker/disconnect. Ensure thermostat has power and is set correctly. |
| Inadequate cooling/heating | Dirty filter, blocked coils, low refrigerant | Replace air filter. Clear debris from outdoor unit. Contact technician for refrigerant check. |
| Outdoor unit fan not running | Obstruction, faulty motor, capacitor | Turn off power and clear any obstruction. Contact technician. |
| Ice on outdoor coil (heating mode) | Normal defrost cycle or faulty defrost control | If ice persists for more than 1 hour, system may need service. |
| Unusual noises | Loose parts, debris in fan, compressor issue | Turn off system and inspect for loose panels or debris. Contact technician if noise continues. |
| Water leakage indoors | Clogged condensate drain | Clear drain line and ensure proper trap. |
| LED fault code flashing | System error detected | Note flash pattern and consult service manual or contact technician. |
Reset: Turning power off for 5 minutes may clear temporary faults. For persistent issues, contact a qualified service technician.
