Note: Installation and maintenance must be performed only by qualified personnel who are familiar with local codes
and regulations, and are experienced with this type of equipment.

! CAUTION
Sharp edges can cause personal injury. Avoid contact with them.

Transportation & Storage

Upon receipt of the equipment, check carton for visible
damage. Make a notation on the shipper’s delivery ticket
before signing. If there is any evidence of rough handling,
immediately open the cartons to check for concealed dam-
age. If any damage is found, notify the carrier within 48
hours to establish your claim and request their inspection
and a report. The Warranty Claims Department should then
be contacted.
Do not stand or transport the machines on end. For stor-
ing, each carton is marked with “up” arrows.
In the event that elevator transfer makes up-ended posi-
tioning unavoidable, absolutely ensure that the machine is
in the normal upright position for at least 24 hours before
operating.
Temporary storage at the job site must be indoors, com-
pletely sheltered from rain, snow, etc. High or low tempera-
tures naturally associated with weather patterns will not
harm the conditioners. Excessively high temperatures,
140°F (60°C) and higher, may deteriorate certain plastic
materials and cause permanent damage.

Installation
General
1. To prevent damage, do not operate this equipment for
supplementary heating and cooling during the con-
struction period.
2. Inspect the carton for any specific tagging numbers
indicated by the factory per a request from the installing
contractor. At this time the voltage, phase and capaci-
ty should be checked against the plans.
3. Check the unit size against the plans to ensure unit
installation is in the correct location.
4. Before installation, check the available closet dimen-
sions versus the dimensions of the unit.
5. Note the location and routing of water piping, conden-
sate drain piping, and electrical wiring. The locations of
these items are clearly marked on submittal drawings.
Page 2 / IM 778
6. The installing contractor will find it beneficial to confer
with piping, sheet metal, and electrical foremen before
installing any conditioners.
NOTE: Check the unit name plate for correct voltage with
the plans before installing the equipment. Also,
make sure all electrical ground connections are
made in accordance with local code.
7. We recommend that the contractor cover the condi-
tioners with plastic film to protect the machines during
finishing of the building. This is critical while spraying
fireproofing material on bar joists, sandblasting, spray
painting and plastering. If plastic film is not available,
the shipping carton may be modified to cover the units
during construction.
Unit location 5. It is recommended that the unit be located on top of a
vibration absorbing material such as rubber or carpet to

 Electrical Data
General
1. Verify the compatibility between the voltage and phase
of the available power and that shown on the unit serial
plate. Line and low voltage wiring must comply with local
codes or the National Electrical Code, whichever
applies.
2. Apply correct line voltage to the unit. A 7⁄8" (22mm) hole
and/or a 11⁄8" (29 mm) knockout is supplied on the side
of the unit. A disconnect switch near the unit is required
by code. Power to the unit must be sized correctly and
have dual element (Class RK5) fuses or an HACR circuit
230 Volt Operation
All 208-230 volt single-phase and three-phase units are fac-
tory wired for 208 volt operation. For 230 phase operation,
the line voltage tap on the 24 volt transformer must be
Fan Assembly
All fan motors are multi-speed, PSC type with integral
mounting brackets and thermal overload protection. The
motor is isolated from the fan housing for minimum vibra-
tion transmission. Fan motors have a terminal strip on the
motor body for simple motor speed change without going
back to the control box. All the fan/motor assemblies have
a removable orifice ring on the housing to accommodate

Piping
1. All units should be connected to supply and return pip-
ing in a two-pipe reverse return configuration. A
reverse return system is inherently self-balancing and
requires only trim balancing where multiple quantities
of units with different flow and pressure drop charac-
teristics exist in the same loop. Check for proper water
balance by measuring differential temperature reading
across the water connections. For proper water flow,
the differential flow should be 10°F to 14°F (5°C to 8°C)
for units in cooling mode.
A direct return system may also work acceptably,
but proper water flow balancing is more difficult to
achieve and maintain.
2. The piping can be steel, copper or PVC.
3. Supply and return runouts usually join the unit via short
lengths of high pressure flexible hose which are sound
attenuators for both unit operating noise and hydraulic
pumping noise. One end of the hose should have a
swivel fitting to facilitate removal for service. Hard pip-
ing also can be brought directly to the unit. This option
is not recommended since no vibration or noise atten-
uation can be accomplished. The hard piping must
have unions to facilitate unit removal. See Figures 8, 9,
and 10 for typical piping setup.
breaker for branch circuit overcurrent protection. See the
nameplate for correct ratings.
3. Three phase 50 cycle units, 380/50/3, require a neutral
wire for 230/50/1 power to the fan circuit.
4. Connect the thermostat/subbase wiring with the power
“off ” to the unit.

motor and fan wheel removal without disconnecting the
ductwork. The fan housing protrudes through the cabinet
allowing adequate material for connection of flexible duct.
Each model unit is shipped from the factory for maximum
performance and minimum sound requirements. Fan sound
levels and performance can be affected by external static
pressure.

4. Some flexible hose threaded fittings are supplied with
sealant compound. If not, apply Teflon tape for a tight
seal.
5. Supply and return shutoff valves are required at each
conditioner. The return valve is used for balancing and
should have a “memory stop” so that it can always be
closed off but can only be reopened to the proper posi-
tion for the flow required.
6. Do not connect any unit to the supply and return pip-
ing until the water system has been cleaned and
flushed completely. After the cleaning and flushing has
taken place, the initial connection should have all
valves wide open in preparation for water system flush-
ing.
7. Condensate piping can be steel, copper or PVC. Each
unit includes a condensate connection.
8. Units are internally trapped.

Page 6 / IM 778
5. Refill the system with clean water. Test the water using
litmus paper for acidity, and treat as required to leave the
water slightly alkaline (pH 7.5 to 8.5). The specified per-
centage of antifreeze may also be added at this time.
Use commercial grade antifreeze designed for HVAC
systems only. Do not use automotive grade antifreeze.
Once the system has been filled with clean water and
antifreeze (if used), precautions should be taken to pro-
tect the system from dirty water conditions. Dirty water
will result in system wide degradation of performance
and solids may clog valves, strainers, flow regulators,
etc. Additionally, the heat exchanger may become
clogged which reduces compressor service life or caus-
Start-up
1. Open all valves to full open position and turn on power
to the conditioner.
2. Set thermostat for “Fan Only” operation by selecting
“Off” at the system switch and “On” at the fan switch.
If “Auto” fan operation is selected, the fan will cycle
with the compressor. Check for proper air delivery.
3. For those units that have two-speed motors, reconnect
for low speed operation if necessary.
4. Set thermostat to “Cool.” If the thermostat is an auto-
matic changeover type, simply set the cooling temper-
ature to the coolest position. On manual changeover
types additionally select “Cool” at the system
switch.
Again, many conditioners have time delays which
protect the compressor(s) against short cycling. After a
few minutes of operation, check the discharge grilles
for cool air delivery. Measure the temperature differ-
ence between entering and leaving water. It should be
approximately 11⁄2 times greater than the heating mode
temperature difference. For example, if the cooling
temperature difference is 15°F (8°C), the heating tem-
perature difference should have been 10°F (5°C).
Without automatic flow control valves, target a cooling
temperature difference of 10°F to 14°F (5°C to 8°C).
Adjust the combination shutoff/balancing valve in the
return line to a water flow rate which will result in the
10˚F to 14°F (5°C to 8°C) difference.
5. Set thermostat to “Heat.” If the thermostat is the auto-
matic changeover type, set system switch to the
“Auto” position and depress the heat setting to the
warmest selection. Some conditioners have built-in
time delays which prevent the compressor from imme-
diately starting. With most control schemes, the fan will
start immediately. After a few minutes of compressor
es premature failure. A SystemSaver™ from McQuay
should be employed to continuously re-move solids as
the system operates. Contact your local representative
for further information on this device.
6. Set the loop water controller heat add setpoint to 70°F
(21°C) and the heat rejection setpoint to 85°F (29°C).
Supply power to all motors and start the circulating
pumps. After full flow has been established through all
components including the heat rejector (regardless of
season) and air vented and loop temperatures stabilized,

operation, check for warm air delivery at discharge
grille. If this is a “cold building” start-up, leave unit run-
ning until return air to the unit is at least 65°F (18°C).
Measure the temperature difference between enter-
ing and leaving air and entering and leaving water. With
entering water of 60°F to 80°F (16°C to 27°C), leaving
water should be 6°F to 12°F (3.3°C to 6.6°C) cooler,
and the air temperature rise through the machine
should not exceed 35°F (19°C). If the air temperature
exceeds 35°F (19°C), then the water flow rate is inade-
quate.
6. Check the elevation and cleanliness of the condensate
line. If the air is too dry for sufficient dehumidification,
slowly pour enough water into the condensate pan to
ensure proper drainage.
7. If the conditioner does not operate, check the following
points:
a. Is supply voltage to the machine compatible?
b. Is thermostat type appropriate?
c. Is thermostat wiring correct?
8. If the conditioner operates but stops after a brief period:
a. Is there proper airflow? Check for dirty filter, incor-
rect fan rotation (3-phase fan motors only), or incor-
rect ductwork.
b. Is there proper water flow rate within temperature
limits? Check water balancing; backflush unit if dirt-
clogged.
9. Check for vibrating refrigerant piping, fan wheels, etc.
10. Do not lubricate the fan motor during the first year of
operation as it is pre-lubricated at the factory.
11. Field supplied relays installed on the input terminals
W1, W2, Y1, Y2 or G may introduce electrical noise.
Never install relay coils in series with the inputs.

 Unit Operation
Three types of units are available: Mark IV/AC control units or units equipped with a MicroTech™ 2000 or BACnet® Water
Source Heat Pump Controller.
Mark IV/AC Control Units
The Mark IV/AC circuit board is an optional control sys-
tem with built-in features such as random start, compressor
time delay, night setback, load shed, shutdown, conden-
sate overflow protection, defrost cycle, brownout, and
LED/fault outputs. Figure 13 shows the LED and fault out-
put sequences.
The unit has been designed for operation with a 24 volt
mercury bulb type wall thermostat or a microelectronic wall
thermostat selected by the manufacturer. Do not operate
the unit with any other type of wall thermostat.
Each unit has a printed circuit board control system. The
low voltage output from the low voltage terminal strip can
be either AC voltage or DC voltage to the wall thermostat.
This is dependent on what terminals you use. R is A/C volt-
age output and F is D/C voltage output to the wall stat.
The 24 volt low voltage terminal strip is set up so R-G or
F-G energizes the fan, R-Y1 or F-Y1 energizes the com-
pressor for cooling operation, R-W1 or F-W1 energizes the
compressor and reversing valve for heating operation. The
reversing valve is energized in the heating mode. The circuit
board has a fan interlock circuit to energize the fan whenev-
er the compressor is on if the thermostat logic fails to do so.
Remember the output to the wall stat can be AC current
or DC current. Terminal (R) on the wall stat can be connect-
ed to terminal (R) on the PC board for AC voltage or to ter-
minal (F) on the PC board for DC voltage.
AC current DC current
R to G = fan only F to G = fan only
R to Y1 = cooling F to Y1 = cooling
R to W1 = heat F to W1 = heat
The Mark IV/AC control board has a lockout circuit to
stop compressor operation if any one of its safety switches
opens (high pressure switch and low pressure switch on
unit sizes 024 through 060). If the low temperature switch
opens, the unit will go into the cooling mode for 60 seconds
to defrost any slush in the water-to-refrigerant heat
exchanger. After 60 seconds the compressor is locked out.
If the condensate sensor detects a filled drain pan, the
compressor operation will be suspended only in the cooling
mode. The unit is reset by opening and closing the discon-
nect switch on the main power supply to the unit in the
event the unit compressor operation has been suspended
due to low temperature (freezestat) switch, high pressure
The Remote Reset feature provides the means to
remotely reset automatic lockouts generated by high-pres-
sure and/or low-temperature (in heating) faults. When the
Mark IV board is in automatic lockout due to one of these
faults, and the cause of the fault condition has been allevi-
ated, energizing the O-terminal for 10 seconds or more will
force the Mark IV board to clear the lockout. A unit power
cycle can also be used to clear an automatic lockout if the
conditions causing the fault have been alleviated.
The Fault Retry feature helps to minimize nuisance trips
of automatic lockouts caused by high-pressure and/or low-
temperature (in heating) faults. This feature clears faults the
first two times they occur within a 24-hour period and trig-
gers an automatic lockout on the 3rd fault. The retry count
is reset to zero every 24 hours.
The Mark IV/AC control circuit has built-in night setback
operation. A “grounded’ signal to the “U” terminal on the
low voltage terminal strip puts the unit into the unoccupied
mode for night setback operation. Fan operation terminates
and unit control reverts to the night setback terminal on the
thermostat, W2; day heating and cooling operation is
locked out. R-W2 energizes the compressor and reversing
valve for heating operation. Night setback operation can be
overridden for two hours by toggling the fan switch (inter-
mittently closing the R to O terminals) on the Deluxe Auto
Changeover thermostat. Day thermostat setpoints then
control the heating and cooling operation. The Mark IV/AC
control system also accommodates load shed and shut-
down operation on receipt of a “grounded” signal to the “L”
and “E” terminals, respectively, on the low voltage terminal
strip.

 MicroTech™ 2000 WSHP Unit Controller
Each McQuay Enfinity vertical water source heat pump can
be equipped with a MicroTech 2000 water source heat pump
unit controller. The controller is microprocessor-based and is
designed to communicate over a LonWorks communica-
tions network. The unit controller is factory programmed and
tested with all the logic required to monitor and control the
unit. The controller sets the unit mode of operation, monitors
water and air temperatures, and can communicate fault con-
ditions to a LonWorks communications network.
The MicroTech 2000 unit controllers include unit-mounted
return air, discharge air and leaving water temperature sen-
sors. Options include a tenant setpoint adjustment knob and
tenant override button, and the capability of substituting the
return air sensor with a wall-mounted room sensor.
Figure 15. MicroTech 2000™ WSHP unit controller
Each unit controller orchestrates the following unit
operations:
● Enable heating and cooling to maintain setpoint based on
a room sensor.
● Enable fan and compressor operation.
● Monitor all safety controls.
● Monitor discharge air temperature.
● Monitor leaving water temperature.
● Relay status of all vital unit functions.
● Support optional control outputs.
An amber, on-board status LED aids in diagnostics by indi-
cating the water source heat pump operating mode and
alarm conditions. If there are no current alarm conditions,
the LED will indicate the unit operating mode as shown in
the table below. If there are one or more alarm conditions
present, the LED will flash to indicate an alarm condition.
MicroTech 2000 heat pumps are designed to be linked with
a centralized building automation system through a
LonWorks communications network for centralized schedul-
ing and management of multiple heat pumps. Wall-mounted
room sensors are available to control the heating and cool-
ing operation of each MicroTech 2000 Water Source Heat
Pump Unit Controller. Available room sensors include: room
sensor with LED status and tenant override button, room
sensor with LED status, timed-override button, and bi-metal
thermostat, room sensor with LED status, timed-override
button, and setpoint adjustment, and room sensor with LED
status, timed-override button, setpoint adjustment and bi-

 BACnet® WSHP Unit Controller
McQuay Enfinity vertical water source heat pumps are
available with a factory mounted and tested Alerton BACnet
unit controller as a special. The unit controller is factory pro-
grammed and tested with all the logic required to control the
unit, and is designed to communicate over a BACnet MS/TP
communications network to an Alerton BACtalk building
automation system (BAS). The controller operates the com-
pressor, fan, and reversing valve as required to maintain the
space temperature within the current setpoints. Data
regarding equipment status, water and air temperatures,
and fault conditions can be monitored by an Alerton BACtalk
BAS. Setpoints and other system preferences may be
changed remotely using an Alerton BACtalk workstation or
Alerton service tool software.
The controller makes operational data and commands
available on the Alerton BACtalk network using BACnet
objects and properties. Each heat pump controller connects
to the BACtalk network using a BACnet MS/TP LAN, which
is a simple twisted-pair communications connection that
operates at up to 76.8 Kbps. DIP switches on the controller
enable the MS/TP MAC address to be set in the range 0-
127. A status LED on the unit indicates communication
activity on the MS/TP LAN.
Figure 18. BACnet® WSHP unit controller
Each BACnet-compliant unit includes discharge air and
leaving water temperature sensors, as well as all safety
sensors, signals, and switches. Wall-mounted room sen-
sors are available from Alerton to control heating and cool-
ing operation. Available sensors include tamper-resistant
stainless steel wall sensors with optional push-button for
status override; wall-mounted sensors with tenant setpoint
adjustment lever and timed-override button; wall-mounted
sensors with LED status, timed-override button, tenant set-
point adjustment buttons, password-protected field service
access to operational data, and optional humidity sensor;
and wall-mounted sensors with LCD and programmable
operation.
Page 14 / IM 778
Each BACnet-compliant controller has the following operat-
ing features:
● Start-up – The unit will not operate until all the inputs
and safety controls are checked for normal conditions.
● Fan operation – Fan operation can be customized in
software to run continuously during occupied mode, or to
cycle ON or OFF appropriately on a call for heating and
cooling.
● Cooling mode – On a call for cooling, the compressor
and fan start immediately. Compressor run-time is cal-
culated as a percent of full cycle time (17 minutes) using
proportional-integral control to maximize efficiency.
● Heating mode – On a call for heating, the compressor
and fan start immediately, and compressor run-time is
calculated as a percent of full cycle time (17 minutes)
using proportional-integral control to maximize
efficiency.
● Short Cycle Protection and Random Start – A start
delay of 180 seconds plus the compressor’s MAC
address in seconds prevents short-cycling and simulta-
neous start-up. A minimum 2-minute on time and 5-
minute off time for the compressor further ensures short-
cycle protection.
● Occupied Mode – A simple software control signal from
the building automation system or a wall-mounted unit
puts the unit into occupied mode. The unit controls com-
pressor and fan operation to maintain occupied set-
points. High and low limits for occupied setpoints are
software configurable.
● Unoccupied Mode – A simple software control signal
from the building automation system or a wall-mounted
unit puts the unit into unoccupied mode for night setback
operation. The unit controls compressor and fan opera-
tion to maintain unoccupied heating and cooling set-
points, which are also software configurable.
● After-hours Override Mode – A simple software control
signal from the building automation system or a wall-
mounted unit can initiate after-hours heating or cooling
in half-hour increments. Maximum override time is soft-
ware configurable up to 9.5 hours. This feature can also
be disabled in software.
● Reversing valve delay – When the compressor turns
off after heating mode, the reversing valve remains ener-
gized for 60 seconds before it returns to the normal cool-
ing position to eliminate swishing. The reversing valve
energizes 10 seconds before the compressor.
● Load Shed – Load shedding can be orchestrated by the
building automation system using the occupied/unoccu-
pied command in software.
● Brownout Protection – An onboard sensor measures
input voltage and suspends compressor and fan opera-
tion if the supply voltage drops below 82% of the normal
line voltage for a minimum of 10 seconds, creating an
alarm available in software. The alarm automatically
resets when the supply voltage returns to above 90% of
normal.
 BACnet® WSHP Unit Controller
● Condensate Overflow Protection – A liquid sensor at
the top of the drain pan senses a high water level. Upon
sensing water, cooling operation is suspended, while
heating operation is allowed. The controller creates an
alarm available in software. The alarm automatically
resets when the water level returns to normal.
● Safety Control – The unit monitors refrigerant pressure
and generates separate high-pressure and low-pressure
alarms available in software. While either alarm is active,
compressor operation is suspended. In a refrigerant low-
temperature condition, an alarm occurs and the unit
operates in cooling mode for 60 seconds to defrost the
heat exchanger, after which compressor operation is
suspended. These alarms can be reset in software or by
cycling power to the controller.
● Attained Temperature and Water Temperature
Alarms – Attained temperature, water temperature
alarms with software-adjustable setpoints are available
in software. The controller samples supply air and
records attained temperatures for heating and cooling. If
after two hours of operation, the attained temperature
does not meet the software-configurable setpoint for
heating or cooling as appropriate, a software alarm
occurs. The alarm automatically resets when the attained
temperature is within setpoints. The controller also mon-
itors leaving water temperature. If the leaving water tem-
perature is outside software-configurable setpoints, com-
pressor operation is suspended and high or low water
temperature alarms occur. The alarm automatically
resets when the water temperature returns to within 6
deg. F of the setpoint.
● Unit Self-test Mode – While the unit is in occupied
mode, a self-test can be initiated via software. Upon initi-
ation of the test, compressor operation is suspended for
a minimum of five minutes, cooling attained temperatures
are cleared, and attained temperature alarms are
cleared. The unit then switches to full heat for four min-
utes and then records the attained supply air tempera-
ture. Compressor operation is then suspended for five
minutes. The unit then switches to full cooling for four
minutes and the attained supply air temperature is
recorded. Attained temperature alarms are set if the
attained temperatures failed to reach alarm setpoints
during heating or cooling.

Boilerless System Kit (BSK) – P/N 062522204 for sizes 007 - 060
The BSK option for use with the Mark IV/AC control board
provides the capability to control a remote duct heater. The
duct heater must be provided with a low voltage control
circuit that only requires a set of dry contacts for operation.
The contacts shown on the Boilerless System board (termi-
nals 1, 2, and 3) are used to control the remote duct heater,
the N.O. contacts will close on a call for duct heater heat.
POT1 provides a means to manually adjust the water tem-
perature setpoint (adjustment range is 43oF to 60oF). The
Normal/Override switch provides a means to manually force
electric heat to always be used in place of heat pump heat
when in the override position (default position is normal -
heat pump heat).
When the water temperature drops below the value of
POT1, then the duct heater will be used instead of heat
pump heat on a call for heat from the low voltage thermostat
(not included).

The BSK field installed kits include the sheet metal enclo-
sure with cover, wire harness, boilerless system board, aux-
iliary relay, and water temperature sensor. When used, one
BSK is required for each unit. To use the BSK kit you attach
9.66 the sheet metal enclosure to the unit as shown, route the 4-
(245 mm)
(007 – 042) wire harness through knockouts and connect to the Mark
14.50 IV/AC board, mount and connect and insulate the water tem-
(368 mm) perature sensor on the water supply line, and then connect
(048 – 060)
the duct heater control contacts to the duct heater control
circuit.
If night setback (U-terminal) is used, the duct heater will
respond to the occupied W1 thermostat signal. The load
shed input (L-terminal) cannot be used for other control
functions when being used with the BSK.

 Pump Restart Relay Kit P/N 061419001

Used as an option with the Mark IV/AC board, the pump
restart relay kit provides a means to alert the loop water
controller that water flow is required by a WSHP so that the
system pump can be started. This option is typically used in
installations where the pump may be shut off when there is
no need for water flow (i.e. temperature OK, etc.). Typically
only one pump restart relay kit is required per installation as
up to 200 Mark IV/AC boards can be “daisy-chained”
together.
The Mark IV/AC “P” terminal is used to determine WSHP
compressor operation. Wired as shown below, when com-
pressor operation is required, the Mark IV/AC “P” terminal
will change state causing a contact closure between termi-
nal 58 and 64 signaling the loop water control (LWC) panel
to restart the loop pump if Off.
The pump restart relay kit is typically mounted within one
WSHP or within the LWC panel, whichever is more conve-
nient, diagrams are provided below for each location. To
install the relay, remove the cover on the double-faced tape
provided on the relay and attach the relay either to the
inside of the LWC panel (adjacent to circuit breaker CB1
and terminal block TB3) or in the WSHP control box (in a
convenient location), then wire as shown below.

 Field Installed Options on MicroTech 2000 Units
MicroTech 2000 units can provide up to 4-outputs, that can
be configured for any of the following output control
signals:
1) Scheduled Output
When using a Network Master Panel (NMP) these out-
puts can be assigned to one of 32 available schedules.
The output will energize when the assigned schedule is
occupied and de-energize when unoccupied. These out-
puts could be used to control lights, etc.
2) Auxiliary Heat (Skin Heat)
When using a Loop Water Controller (LWC) the
MicroTech 2000 receives loop water temperature infor-
mation from the LWC and will use the Auxiliary Heat out-
put for heating when loop water temperature is inappro-
priate for heat pump heating. These outputs provide a
signal that can be used to control a remote electric
heater. The output will energize on a call for electric heat
and de-energize when not required.
3) Fresh Air Damper
These outputs provide a signal that can be used to con-
trol a remote fresh air damper. The output will energize
when the unit fan is energized and de-energize when the
unit fan is de-energized.
4) Motorized Water Valve
These outputs provide control for a motorized water
valve that can be used to stop or divert flow away from
the WSHP when compressor operation is not needed.
The output will be energized when compressor operation
is required.
If more than one of the above control signals is required on
a single WSHP, the MicroTech 2000 Auxiliary Module Kit
(107239001) must be used and these additional output con-
trol signals will be connected to the Auxiliary board. The
Auxiliary board is provided in all 2-circuit units. 1-circuit
units can provide up to 4-outputs while 2-circuit units only
have 3-outputs available. The 4th control signal output
shown in the diagrams below is not available on 2-circuit
units.
If the Auxiliary board is added in the field to provide addi-
tional outputs it will need to be mounted within the WSHP
control box so that J1 on the Auxiliary board can be con-
nected to J6 on the MicroTech 2000 board without exceed-
ing a maximum wire length of 10".
Also, each output is by default configured to “none” and
must be field set to one of the four signal types listed above
using the Monitor software, cable, and a PC communicat-
ing to the unit through an MCG panel.

 Troubleshooting
The in and outs of R410A
Refrigerant 410A is a non-ozone depleting blend of two
refrigerants HFC-125 and HFC-32 in a fifty percent mixture.
Refrigerant 410A exhibits higher operating pressure and
refrigeration capacity than R-22. R-410A refrigerant is
intended for use in new air conditioning application that has
traditionally been serviced by HCFC-22 or R-22. Due to
higher capacity and pressure of R-410A, it is not recom-
mended as a retrofit to existing R-22 systems.
Although R-410A is non-flammable at ambient temper-
ature and atmospheric pressure, it can become com-
bustible under pressure when mixed with air. (NOTE: R-
410A should not be mixed with air under pressure for
leak testing. Pressure mixtures of dry nitrogen and R-410A
can be used for leak testing.)
Lubrication
R410A should be used only with polyolester (POE) oil. The
HFC refrigerant components in R-410A will not be compat-
ible with mineral oil or alkylbenzene lubricants. R-410A sys-
tems will be charged with the OEM recommended lubri-
cant, ready for use with R-410A.
Charging
Due to the zeotropic nature of R-410A, it should be charged
as a liquid. In situations where vapor is normally charged
into a system, a valve should be installed in the charging
line to flash the liquid to vapor while charging.
General Maintenance
1. Normal maintenance on all conditioners is generally lim-
ited to filter changes. Motors used with WSHP unit size
007 through 060 are provided with permanently lubricat-
ed motors and require no oiling even though oil caps may
be provided.
2. Filter changes are required at regular intervals. The time
period between changes will depend upon the project
requirements. Some applications such as motels pro-
duce a lot of lint from carpeting and linen changes, and
will require more frequent filter changes. Check filters at
60-day intervals for the first year until experience is
acquired. If light cannot be seen through the filter when
held up to sunlight or a bright light, it should be changed.
A more critical standard may be desirable.
3. The condensate drain pan should be checked annually
and cleaned and flushed as required.
! WARNING
Recycle/recovery equipment must be designated for
R-410A. R-410A pressure is greater than R-22.
Improper equipment can cause severe injury or death.
Make certain that the recycle or recovery equipment used
is designed for R-410A. The pressure of R-410A refrigerant
is approximately 60 percent greater than that of R-22.
Pressure gauges require a range up to 800 PSIG high side
and 250 PSIG low side. Recovery cylinders require a 400
PSIG rating – do not put R-410A in a 300 PSIG rated
cylinder.
(NOTE: because a water source heat pump operates under
a wide range of water and air temperatures, the values
printed below are to be taken as suggested pressure and
temperatures.) All McQuay water source heat pumps are
designed for commercial use. The units are designed for
the cooling mode of operation and fail safe to cooling. The
reversing valve is energized for the heating mode of
operation.
Superheat Head Pressure Water Delta T
8 to 14 degrees 335-355 PSIG 10° to 12°
All information above is based on ISO standard 13256-1
and are tested at these conditions.
4. Record performance measurements of volts, amps, and
water temperature differences (both heating and cooling).
A comparison of logged data with start-up and other
annual data is useful as an indicator of general equipment
condition.
5. Periodic lockouts almost always are caused by air or
water problems. The lockout (shutdown) of the condition-
er is a normal protective result. Check for dirt in the water
system, water flow rates, water temperatures, airflow
rates (may be a dirty filter), and air temperatures. If the
lockout occurs in the morning following a return from
night setback, entering air below machine limits may be
the cause.

Cooling Refrigeration Cycle Heating Refrigeration Cycle

When the wall thermostat is calling for COOLING, the
reversing valve directs the flow of the refrigerant, a hot gas,
leaving the compressor, to the water-to-refrigerant heat
exchanger. Here the heat is removed by the water and the
hot gas condenses to become a liquid. The liquid then
flows through a thermal expansion metering system to the
air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger coil. The liquid then evap-
orates becoming a gas, at the same time absorbing heat
and cooling the air passing over the surfaces of the coil.
The refrigerant then flows as a low pressure gas through
the reversing valve and back to the suction side of the
compressor to complete the cycle.
When the wall thermostat is calling for HEATING, the
reversing valve directs the flow of the refrigerant, a hot gas,
leaving the compressor, to the air-to-refrigerant heat
exchanger coil. Here the heat is removed by the air passing
over the surfaces of the coil and the hot gas condenses to
become a liquid. The liquid then flows through a capillary
thermal expansion metering system to the water-to-refriger-
ant heat exchanger. The liquid then evaporates becoming a
gas, at the same time absorbing heat and cooling the water.
The refrigerant then flows as a low pressure gas through the
reversing valve and back to the suction side of the com-
pressor to complete the cycle.
