126114-UUM-E-0107 USER’S INFORMATION MANUAL OUTDOOR SPLIT-SYSTEM AIR CONDITIONER MODELS: 13 & 14 SEER SERIES 1.5 TO 5 TONS LISTED ISO 9001 Certified Quality Management System This high efficiency air conditioning system has been precision engi- neered, manufactured of high quality materials, and passed many rigor- ous tests and inspections to ensure years of satisfactory service. That’s why you can rely on efficient, trouble-free operation. Your system is fully automatic. Set the thermostat and forget it. And it’s automatically protected from damage by voltage fluctuations or exces- sive heating or cooling demands. Your split system air conditioner consists of two units - one installed out- doors and one installed indoors. The indoor unit may be installed in a basement, attic, or crawl space. HOW YOUR AIR CONDITIONER WORKS HOW YOUR AIR CONDITIONER WORKS HOW YOUR AIR CONDITIONER WORKS HOW YOUR AIR CONDITIONER WORKS If your hand is wet and you blow on it, it feels cool because some of the moisture is evaporating and becoming a vapor. This process requires heat. The heat is being taken from your hand, so your hand feels cool. That’s what happens with an air conditioner. During the cooling cycle, your system will remove heat and humidity from your home and will transfer this heat to the outdoor air. SYSTEM OPERATION SYSTEM OPERATION SYSTEM OPERATION SYSTEM OPERATION Your thermostat puts full control of the comfort level in your home at your fingertips. DO NOT switch your thermostat rapidly “On” and “Off” or between “Heat” to “Cool” This could damage your equipment. Always allow at least 5 minutes between changes. SETTING THE THERMOSTAT SETTING THE THERMOSTAT SETTING THE THERMOSTAT SETTING THE THERMOSTAT Although thermostats may vary widely in appearance, they are all designed to perform the same basic function: to control the operation of your air conditioning or heat pump system. Regardless of size or shape, each thermostat will feature a temperature indicator; a dial, arm, or push button for selection of the desired temperature; a fan switch to choose the indoor fan operation; and a comfort switch for you to select the system mode of operation. Only approved thermostats have been tested and are fully compatible with this equipment. Please be aware that many different thermostats operate on batteries or “power stealing” principals. These types of ther- mostats can not be supported as trouble free when used with this product. A complete operating instruction is provided by the manufacturer for each thermostat. Familiarize yourself with its proper operation to obtain the maximum comfort with minimum energy consumption. If your system has been designed to allow both cooling and heating operation, you may have either a manual change-over type, or a pro- grammable electronic type thermostat. Manual change-over simply means that the comfort switch must be manually positioned every time you wish to switch from the cooling to heating or heating to cooling modes of operation. The computerized electronic thermostat is actually a sophisticated elec- tronic version of a manual change-over type. This thermostat includes features which allow “set-back” temperature variations for periods of sleep, or while you are away during the day, and means energy savings for you. The thermostat also features a digital clock. The main power to the system must be kept “ON” at all times to prevent damage to the outdoor unit compressor. If necessary, the thermostat control switch should be used to turn the system “OFF”. Should the main power be disconnected or interrupted for 8 hours or longer, DO NOT attempt to start the system for 8 hours after the power has been restored to the outdoor unit. If heat is needed during this 8 hour period, use emergency heat.
