VERTICAL INSTALLATION  
Vertical Unit Location  
Figure 7:Vertical Unit Mounting  
Units are not designed for outdoor installation. Locate  
the unit in an INDOOR area that allows enough space  
for service personnel to perform typical maintenance or  
repairs without removing unit from the mechanical room/  
closet. Vertical units are typically installed in a mechanical  
room or closet. Never install units in areas subject to  
freezing or where humidity levels could cause cabinet  
condensation (such as unconditioned spaces subject  
to 100% outside air). Consideration should be given to  
access for easy removal of the filter and access panels.  
Provide sufficient room to make water, electrical, and  
duct connection(s).  
If the unit is located in a confined space, such as a closet,  
provisions must be made for return air to freely enter  
the space by means of a louvered door, etc. Any access  
panel screws that would be difficult to remove after the  
unit is installed should be removed prior to setting the  
unit. Refer to Figures 7 and 8 for typical installation  
illustrations. Refer to unit specifications catalog for  
dimensional data.  
Air Pad or Extruded  
polystyrene insulation board  
1. Install the unit on a piece of rubber, neoprene or  
other mounting pad material for sound isolation. The  
pad should be at least 3/8” [10mm] to 1/2” [13mm] in  
thickness. Extend the pad beyond all four edges of the  
unit.  
2. Provide adequate clearance for filter replacement  
and drain pan cleaning. Do not block filter access  
with piping, conduit or other materials. Refer to unit  
specifications for dimensional data.  
Figure 8:Typical Vertical Unit Installation  
Using Ducted Return Air  
Internally insulate supply  
duct for first 4’ [1.2m] each  
way to reduce noise  
3. Provide access for fan and fan motor maintenance  
and for servicing the compressor and coils without  
removing the unit.  
4. Provide an unobstructed path to the unit within the  
closet or mechanical room. Space should be sufficient  
to allow removal of the unit, if necessary.  
Use turning vanes in  
supply transition  
Flexible canvas duct  
connector to reduce  
noise and vibration  
5. Provide access to water valves and fittings and  
screwdriver access to the unit side panels, discharge  
collar and all electrical connections.

The installation of water source heat pump units and all  
associated components, parts and accessories which  
make up the installation shall be in accordance with

VERTICAL INSTALLATION  
Condensate Piping for Vertical Units  
Sound Attenuation for Vertical Units  
Install condensate trap at each unit with the top of the trap  
positioned below the unit condensate drain connection as  
shown in Figure 4. Design the depth of the trap (water-  
seal) based upon the amount of External Static Pressure  
(ESP) capability of the blower (where 2 inches [51mm] of  
ESP capability requires 2 inches [51mm] of trap depth). As a  
general rule, 1 1/2 inch [38mm] trap depth is the minimum.  
Sound attenuation is achieved by enclosing the unit  
within a small mechanical room or a closet. Additional  
measures for sound control include the following:  
1. Mount the unit so that the return air inlet is 90° to  
the return air grille. Refer to Figure 9. Install a sound  
baffle as illustrated to reduce line-of sight sound  
transmitted through return air grilles.  
2. Mount the unit on a rubber or neoprene isolation pad to  
minimize vibration transmission to the building structure.  
Each unit must be installed with its own individual trap and  
connection to the condensate line (main) or riser. Provide  
a means to ush or blow out the condensate line. DO NOT  
install units with a common trap and/or vent.  
Figure 9:Vertical Sound Attenuation  
Always vent the condensate line when dirt or air can collect  
in the line or a long horizontal drain line is required. Also vent  
when large units are working against higher external static  
pressure than other units connected to the same condensate  
main since this may cause poor drainage for all units on  
the line. WHEN A VENT IS INSTALLED IN THE DRAIN  
LINE, IT MUST BE LOCATED AFTER THE TRAP IN THE  
DIRECTION OF THE CONDENSATE FLOW.

VERTICAL INSTALLATION  
Horizontal Unit Location  
Mounting Horizontal Units  
Packaged units are not designed for outdoor installation.  
Locate the unit in an INDOOR area that allows enough  
space for service personnel to perform typical maintenance  
or repairs without removing unit from the ceiling. Horizontal  
units are typically installed above a false ceiling or in a ceiling  
plenum. Never install units in areas subject to freezing or  
where humidity levels could cause cabinet condensation  
(such as unconditioned spaces subject to 100% outside air).  
Consideration should be given to access for easy removal of  
the lter and access panels. Provide sufcient room to make  
water, electrical, and duct connection(s).  
Horizontal units have hanger kits pre-installed from the  
factory as shown in Figure 5. Figures 7a and 7b shows a  
typical horizontal unit installation.  
Horizontal heat pumps are typically suspended above a  
ceiling or within a soft using eld supplied, threaded rods  
sized to support the weight of the unit.  
Use four (4) eld supplied threaded rods and factory provided  
vibration isolators to suspend the unit. Hang the unit clear  
of the oor slab above and support the unit by the mounting  
bracket assemblies only. DO NOT attach the unit ush with  
the oor slab above.  
If the unit is located in a conned space, such as a closet,  
provisions must be made for return air to freely enter the space  
by means of a louvered door or any other method. Any access  
panel screws that would be difcult to remove after the unit is  
installed should be removed prior to setting the unit. Refer to  
Figures 7a and 7b for an illustration of a typical installation.  
Refer to unit catalog specications for dimensional data.  
Pitch the unit toward the drain as shown in Figure 6 to  
improve the condensate drainage. On small units (less  
than 2.5 Tons/8.8 kW) ensure that unit pitch does not cause  
condensate leaks inside the cabinet.  
NOTE: The top panel of a horizontal unit is a structural  
component. The top panel of a horizontal unit must never  
be removed from an installed unit unless the unit is properly  
supported from the bottom. Otherwise, damage to the unit  
cabinet may occur.  
Conform to the following guidelines when selecting a  
unit location:  
1. Provide a hinged access door in concealed-spline or  
plaster ceilings. Provide removable ceiling tiles in T-bar  
or lay-in ceilings. Refer to horizontal unit dimensions for  
specic series and model in unit catalog specications.  
Size the access opening to accommodate the service  
technician during the removal or replacement of the

recommended in these applications.  
ѥ CAUTION! ѥ  
CAUTION! The following instructions  
represent industry accepted installation  
practices for closed loop earth coupled heat  
pump systems. Instructions are provided  
to assist the contractor in installing trouble  
free ground loops. These instructions are  
recommendations only. State/provincial  
and local codes MUST be followed and  
installation MUST conform to ALL applicable  
codes. It is the responsibility of the installing  
contractor to determine and comply with ALL  
applicable codes and regulations.  
Test individual horizontal loop circuits before backfilling.  
Test vertical U-bends and pond loop assemblies prior to  
installation. Pressures of at least 100 psi [689 kPa] should  
be used when testing. Do not exceed the pipe pressure  
rating. Test entire system when all loops are assembled.  
Flushing the Loop  
Once piping is completed between the unit, Flow  
Controller and the ground loop (Figure 12), the loop is  
ready for final purging and charging. A flush cart with  
at least a 1.5 hp [1.1 kW] pump is required to achieve  
enough fluid velocity in the loop piping system to purge  
air and dirt particles. An antifreeze solution is used in  
most areas to prevent freezing. All air and debris must  
be removed from the earth loop piping before operation.  
Flush the loop with a high volume of water at a minimum  
velocity of 2 fps (0.6 m/s) in all piping. The steps below  
must be followed for proper flushing.  
Pre-Installation  
Prior to installation, locate and mark all existing  
underground utilities, piping, etc. Install loops for new  
construction before sidewalks, patios, driveways, and other  
construction has begun. During construction, accurately  
mark all ground loop piping on the plot plan as an aid in  
avoiding potential future damage to the installation.  
1. Fill loop with water from a garden hose through the  
flush cart before using the flush cart pump to insure  
an even fill.  
Piping Installation  
2. Once full, the flushing process can begin. Do not  
allow the water level in the flush cart tank to drop  
below the pump inlet line to avoid air being pumped  
back out to the earth loop.  
3. Try to maintain a fluid level in the tank above the  
return tee so that air cannot be continuously mixed  
back into the fluid. Surges of 50 psi (345 kPa) can  
be used to help purge air pockets by simply shutting  
off the return valve going into the flush cart reservoir.  
This “dead heads” the pump to 50 psi (345 kPa). To  
purge, dead head the pump until maximum pumping  
The typical closed loop ground source system is shown  
in Figure 12. All earth loop piping materials should be  
limited to polyethylene fusion only for in-ground sections  
of the loop. Galvanized or steel fittings should not be  
used at any time due to their tendency to corrode. All  
plastic to metal threaded fittings should be avoided due  
to their potential to leak in earth coupled applications. A  
flanged fitting should be substituted. P/T plugs should be  
used so that flow can be measured using the pressure  
drop of the unit heat exchanger.

temperature, the leaving loop temperature would be 25 to  
22°F [-4 to -6°C] and freeze protection should be at 15°F  
[-10°C]. Calculation is as follows:  
4. Notice the drop in fluid level in the flush cart tank  
when the return valve is shut off. If air is adequately  
purged from the system, the level will drop only 1-2  
inches (2.5 - 5 cm) in a 10” (25 cm) diameter PVC  
flush tank (about a half gallon [2.3 liters]), since  
liquids are incompressible. If the level drops more  
than this, flushing should continue since air is still  
30°F - 15°F = 15°F [-1°C - 9°C = -10°C].  
All alcohols should be premixed and pumped from  
a reservoir outside of the building when possible or  
introduced under the water level to prevent fumes.  
Calculate the total volume of fluid in the piping system.  
Then use the percentage by volume shown in Table  
being compressed in the loop fluid. Perform the “dead 1 for the amount of antifreeze needed. Antifreeze  
head” procedure a number of times.  
Note: This fluid level drop is your only indication of air in  
the loop.  
concentration should be checked from a well mixed  
sample using a hydrometer to measure specific gravity.  
Low Water Temperature Cutout Setting  
Antifreeze may be added before, during or after the  
flushing procedure. However, depending upon which time  
is chosen, antifreeze could be wasted when emptying the  
flush cart tank. See antifreeze section for more details.  
DXM2 Control  
When antifreeze is selected, the FP1 jumper (JW3)  
should be clipped to select the low temperature (an-  
tifreeze 13°F [-10.6°C]) set point and avoid nuisance  
faults (see “Low Water Temperature Cutout Selection” in  
this manual). NOTE: Low water temperature operation  
requires extended range equipment.  
Loop static pressure will fluctuate with the seasons.  
Pressures will be higher in the winter months than during  
the cooling season. This fluctuation is normal and should  
be considered when charging the system initially. Run the  
unit in either heating or cooling for a number of minutes to  
condition the loop to a homogenous temperature. This is  
a good time for tool cleanup, piping insulation, etc. Then,  
perform final flush and pressurize the loop to a static  
pressure of 50-75 psi [345-517 kPa] (winter) or 35-40 psi  
[241-276 kPa] (summer). After pressurization, be sure  
to loosen the plug at the end of the Grundfos loop pump  
motor(s) to allow trapped air to be discharged and to insure  
the motor housing has been flooded. This is not required  
for Taco circulators. Insure that the Flow Controller provides  
adequate flow through the unit by checking pressure drop  
across the heat exchanger and compare to the pressure  
drop tables at the back of the manual.

Table 3 should be consulted for water quality  
requirements. Scaling potential should be assessed using  
the pH/Calcium hardness method. If the pH <7.5 and the  
calcium hardness is less than 100 ppm, scaling potential  
is low. If this method yields numbers out of range of those  
listed, the Ryznar Stability and Langelier Saturation  
indecies should be calculated. Use the appropriate  
scaling surface temperature for the application, 150°F  
[66°C] for direct use (well water/open loop) and

plan should be implemented in these probable scaling  
situations. Other water quality issues such as iron fouling,

Flow Regulation  
Flow regulation can be accomplished by two methods.  
One method of flow regulation involves simply adjusting  
the ball valve or water control valve on the discharge  
line. Measure the pressure drop through the unit heat  
mineral formation due to air exposure. The expansion  
tank should be sized to provide at least one minute  
continuous run time of the pump using its drawdown  
capacity rating to prevent pump short cycling. Discharge  
water from the unit is not contaminated in any manner  
and can be disposed of in various ways, depending on  
local building codes (e.g. recharge well, storm sewer,  
drain field, adjacent stream or pond, etc.). Most local  
codes forbid the use of sanitary sewer for disposal.

.
Since  
the pressure is constantly varying, two pressure gauges  
may be needed. Adjust the valve until the desired flow of  
1.5 to 2 gpm per ton [2.0 to 2.6 l/m per kW] is achieved.  
A second method of flow control requires a flow control  
device mounted on the outlet of the water control valve.  
The device is typically a brass fitting with an orifice of  
rubber or plastic material that is designed to allow a  
specified flow rate. On occasion, flow control devices may  
produce velocity noise that can be reduced by applying  
some back pressure from the ball valve located on the  
discharge line. Slightly closing the valve will spread the  
pressure drop over both devices, lessening the velocity  
noise. NOTE: When EWT is below 50°F [10°C], 2 gpm  
per ton (2.6 l/m per kW) is required.  
Water Control Valve  
Note the placement of the water control valve in  
Figure13.Always maintain water pressure in the heat  
exchanger by placing the water control valve(s) on the  
discharge line to prevent mineral precipitation during  
the off-cycle. Pilot operated slow closing valves are  
recommended to reduce water hammer. If water hammer  
persists, a mini-expansion tank can be mounted on the  
piping to help absorb the excess hammer shock. Insure  
that the total ‘VA’ draw of the valve can be supplied by  
the unit transformer. For instance, a slow closing valve  
can draw up to 35VA. This can overload smaller 40 or  
50 VA transformers depending on the other controls in  
the circuit. A typical pilot operated solenoid valve draws  
approximately 15VA.  
Water Coil Low Temperature Limit Setting  
For all open loop systems the 30°F [-1.1°C] FP1 setting  
(factory setting-water) should be used to avoid freeze  
damage to the unit. See “Low Water Temperature Cutout  
Selection” in this manual for details on the low limit setting.

HOT WATER GENERATOR  
The HWG (Hot Water Generator) or desuperheater option  
provides considerable operating cost savings by utilizing  
heat energy from the compressor discharge line to help  
satisfy domestic hot water requirements. The HWG is active  
throughout the year, providing virtually free hot water when  
the heat pump operates in the cooling mode or hot water at  
the COP of the heat pump during operation in the heating  
mode.  
Typically a single tank of at least 50 gallons (189 liters) is used  
to limit installation costs and space. However, a dual tank, as  
shown in Figure 21, is the preferred system, as it provides the  
maximum storage and temperate source water to the HWG.  
It is always advisable to use water softening equipment on  
domestic water systems to reduce the scaling potential and  
lengthen equipment life. In extreme water conditions, it may  
be necessary to avoid the use of the HWG option since the  
potential cost of frequent maintenance may offset or exceed  
any savings. Consult Table 3 for scaling potential tests.  
Heat pumps equipped with the HWG option include a built-  
in water to refrigerant heat exchanger that eliminates the  
need to tie into the heat pump refrigerant circuit in the eld.  
The control circuit and pump are also built in for residential  
equipment. Figure 14 shows a typical example of HWG water  
piping connections on a unit with built-in circulating pump.  
This piping layout prevents sludge/debris from the bottom of  
the tank being pulled into the HWG pump.

The temperature set point of the HWG is eld selectable  
to 125°F or 150°F . The 150°F set point allows more heat  
storage from the HWG. For example, consider the amount  
of heat that can be stored by the HWG when using the 125°F  
set point, versus the amount of heat that can be generated  
by the HWG when using the 150°F set point.

lowest setting, to get the most from the HWG. The tank will  
eventually stratify so that the lower 80% of the tank, or 40  
gallons, becomes 100°F (controlled by the lower element).  
The upper 20% of the tank, or 10 gallons, will be maintained  
at 125°F (controlled by the upper element).

ensure that there is no air remaining in the tank.  
4. Inspect all work for leaks.  
WARNING! ꢀ  
5. Before restoring power or fuel supply to the water heater,  
adjust the temperature setting on the tank thermostat(s)  
to insure maximum utilization of the heat available from  
the refrigeration system and conserve the most energy.  
On tanks with both upper and lower elements and  
thermostats, the lower element should be turned down  
to 100°F [38°C] or the lowest setting; the upper element  
should be adjusted to 120-130°F [49-54°C]. Depending  
upon the specic needs of the customer, you may want  
to adjust the upper element differently. On tanks with a  
single thermostat, a preheat tank should be used (Fig 21).  
6. Replace access cover(s) and restore power or  
fuel supply.  
WARNING! The HWG pump Is fully wired from the  
factory. Use extreme caution when working around  
the microprocessor control as it contains line voltage  
connections that presents a shock hazard that can cause  
severe injury or death!  
The heat pump, water piping, pump, and hot water tank  
should be located where the ambient temperature does  
not fall below 50°F [10°C]. Keep water piping lengths at a  
minimum. DO NOT use a one way length greater than 50 ft.  
(one way) [15 m]. See Table 4 for recommended piping sizes  
and maximum lengths.  
All installations must be in accordance with local codes. The  
installer is responsible for knowing the local requirements,  
and for performing the installation accordingly. DO NOT  
activate the HWG (turn DIP 3-4 to the ON position) until  
“Initial Start-Up” section, below is completed. Powering the  
pump before all installation steps are completed will damage  
the pump.  
Initial Start-Up  
1. Make sure all valves in the HWG water circuit are  
fully open.  
2. Turn on the heat pump and allow it to run for  
10-15 minutes.  
3. Set S3-4 to the “ON” position (enabled) to engage the  
HWG. See Figure *.  
4. The HWG pump should not run if the compressor is not  
running.  
5. The temperature difference between the water entering  
and leaving the HWG coil should be approximately  
5-10°F [3-6°C].  
Water Tank Preparation  
1. Turn off power or fuel supply to the hot water tank.  
2. Connect a hose to the drain valve on the water tank.  
3. Shut off the cold water supply to the water tank.  
4. Open the drain valve and open the pressure relief valve  
or a hot water faucet to drain tank.  
6. Allow the unit to operate for 20 to 30 minutes to insure  
that it is functioning properly.  
5. When using an existing tank, it should be ushed with  
cold water after it is drained until the water leaving the  
drain hose is clear and free of sediment.  
6. Close all valves and remove the drain hose.  
7. Install HWG water piping.  
HWG Water Piping  
1. Using at least 1/2” [12.7mm] I.D. copper, route and install  
the water piping and valves as shown in Figures 20 or  
21. Install an approved anti-scald valve if the 150°F HWG  
setpoint is or will be selected. An appropriate method  
must be employed to purge air from the HWG piping.  
This may be accomplished by ushing water through the  
HWG (as in Figures 20 and 21) or by installing an air vent  
at the high point of the HWG piping system.  
2. Insulate all HWG water piping with no less than 3/8”  
[10mm] wall closed cell insulation.  
3. Open both shut off valves and make sure the tank drain  
valve is closed.  
Water Tank Rell  
1. Close valve #4. Ensure that the HWG valves (valves #2  
and #3) are open. Open the cold water supply (valve #1)  
to ll the tank through the HWG piping. This will force  
water ow through the HWG and purge air from the  
HWG piping.  
2. Open a hot water faucet to vent air from the system until  
water ows from faucet; turn off faucet. Open valve #4.  
3. Depress the hot water tank pressure relief valve handle to

Low Water Temperature Cutout Selection  
Thermostat Connections  
The DXM2 control allows the eld selection of low water (or  
water-antifreeze solution) temperature limit by clipping jumper  
JW3, which changes the sensing temperature associated  
with thermistor LT1. Note that the LT1 thermistor is located on  
the refrigerant line between the coaxial heat exchanger and  
expansion device (TXV). Therefore, LT1 is sensing refrigerant  
temperature, not water temperature, which is a better  
indication of how water ow rate/temperature is affecting the  
refrigeration circuit.  
The thermostat should be wired directly to the
board. See “Electrical – Thermostat” for specific terminal  
connections.  
DXM2  
Figure 21: Low Voltage Field Wiring  
Capacitator  
The factory setting for LT1 is for systems using water (30°F  
[-1.1°C] refrigerant temperature). In low water temperature  
(extended range) applications with antifreeze (most ground  
loops), jumper JW3 should be clipped as shown in Figure  
19 to change the setting to 10°F [-12.2°C] refrigerant  
temperature, a more suitable temperature when using  
an antifreeze solution. All residential units include water/  
refrigerant circuit insulation to prevent internal condensation,  
which is required when operating with entering water

the thermostat in areas subject to sunlight, drafts or on  
external walls. The wire access hole behind the thermostat  
may in certain cases need to be sealed to prevent erroneous

Installation, Operation & Maintenance  
ECM BLOWER CONTROL  
The ECM fan is controlled directly by the DXM2 control board  
that converts thermostat inputs and CFM settings to signals  
used by the ECM motor controller. To take full advantage  
of the ECM motor features, a communicating multi-stage  
thermostat should be used (ATC32U**).  
The DXM2 control maintains a selectable operating airow  
[CFM] for each heat pump operating mode. For each  
operating mode there are maximum and minimum airow  
limits. See the ECM Blower Performance tables for the  
maximum, minimum, and default operating airows.  
Airow levels are selected using the conguration menus of  
a communicating thermostat (ATC32U**) or diagnostic tool  
(ACDU**). The conguration menus allow the installer to  
independently select and adjust the operating airow for each  
of the operating modes. Air ow can be selected in 25 CFM  
increments within the minimum and maximum limits shown  
in the ECM Blower Performance Table. The blower operating  
modes include:  
First Stage Cooling (Y1 & O)  
Second Stage Cooling (Y1, Y2, & O)  
First Stage Cooling in Dehumidication Mode  
(Y1, O, & Dehumid)  
Second Stage Cooling in Dehumidication Mode  
(Y1, Y2, O, & Dehumid)  
First Stage Heating (Y1)  
Second Stage Heating (Y1 & Y2)  
Third Stage (Auxiliary) Heating (Y1, Y2, & W)  
Emergency Heating (W with no Y1 or Y2)  
Fan (G with no Y1, Y2, or W)  
It is highly recommended that ATC32U** or ACDU**  
be used to set dehumidication mode electronically.  
For dehumidication settings on other units using the  
non-communicating stat, refer to DXM2 AOM (part  
#97B0003N15).  
The ECM motor includes “soft start” and “ramp down”  
features. The soft start feature is a gentle increase of motor  
rpm at blower start up. This creates a much quieter blower  
start cycle.  
The ramp down feature allows the blower to slowly decrease  
rpm to a full stop at the end of each blower cycle. This  
creates a much quieter end to each blower cycle and adds  
overall unit efciency.  
The ramp down feature is eliminated during an ESD  
(Emergency Shut Down) situation. When the DXM2 ESD  
input is activated, the blower and all other control outputs are  
immediately de-activated.  
The ramp down feature (also known as the heating or cooling

DXM2 CONTROLS  
DXM2 Control  
DXM2 Control Start-up Operation  
DXM2 is the next generation in controls is capable of 2-way  
communication between itself and smart components, like  
the communicating thermostat, fan motor and conguration/  
diagnostic tool.  
The control will not operate until all inputs and safety controls  
are checked for normal conditions. The compressor will  
have a 5 minute anti-short cycle delay at power-up. The rst  
time after power-up that there is a call for compressor, the  
compressor will follow a 5 to 80 second random start delay.  
After the random start delay and anti-short cycle delay,  
the compressor relay will be energized. On all subsequent  
compressor calls, the random start delay is omitted.  
For most residential applications, conguration, monitoring  
and diagnostics can be done from the thermostat / service  
tool and there’s no need to read LEDs and change DIP  
switches.  
Test Mode button:  
Test mode allows the service technician to check the  
operation of the control in a timely manner. By momentarily  
pressing the TEST pushbutton, the DXM2 control enters a 20  
minute test mode period in which all time delays are sped up  
15 times.

UNIT COMMISSIONING AND OPERATING CONDITIONS  
Operating Limits  
Environment – Units are designed for indoor installation only. Never install units in areas subject to freezing or where humidity levels  
could cause cabinet condensation (such as unconditioned spaces subject to 100% outside air).  
Power Supply – Voltage utilization shall comply with AHRI standard 110, voltage range A.  
Determination of operating limits is dependent primarily upon three factors: 1) return air temperature. 2) water temperature,  
and 3) ambient temperature. When any one of these factors is at minimum or maximum levels, the other two factors should be  
at normal levels to insure proper unit operation. Extreme variations in temperature and humidity and/or corrosive water or air  
will adversely affect unit performance, reliability, and service life. Consult Table 9a for operating limits.

UNIT START-UP AND OPERATING CONDITIONS  
Unit and System Checkout  
operate in the proper sequence.  
BEFORE POWERING SYSTEM, please check the following:  
Low water temperature cutout: Verify that low water  
temperature cut-out controls are set properly  
(LT1 - JW3).  
Miscellaneous: Note any questionable aspects of  
the installation.  
UNIT CHECKOUT  
Shutoff valves: Insure that all isolation valves are open.  
Line voltage and wiring: Verify that voltage is within  
an acceptable range for the unit and wiring and fuses/  
breakers are properly sized. Verify that low voltage wiring  
is complete.  
CAUTION! ꢀ  
CAUTION! Verify that ALL water valves are open and  
allow water ow prior to engaging the compressor.  
Freezing of the coax or water lines can permanently  
damage the heat pump.  
Unit control transformer: Insure that transformer has the  
properly selected voltage tap. Residential 208-230V units  
are factory wired for 230V operation unless specied  
otherwise.  
Loop/water piping is complete and purged of air. Water/  
piping is clean.  
CAUTION! ꢀ  
Antifreeze has been added if necessary.  
CAUTION! To avoid equipment damage, DO NOT  
leave system lled in a building without heat during the  
winter unless antifreeze is added to the water loop. Heat  
exchangers never fully drain by themselves and will  
freeze unless winterized with antifreeze.  
Entering water and air: Insure that entering water and air  
temperatures are within operating limits of Tables 9a and  
9b.  
Low water temperature cutout: Verify that low water  
temperature cut-out on the DXM2 control is properly set.  
Unit fan: Manually rotate fan to verify free rotation and  
insure that blower wheel is secured to the motor shaft.  
Be sure to remove any shipping supports if needed.  
DO NOT oil motors upon start-up. Fan motors are pre-  
oiled at the factory. Check unit fan speed selection and  
compare to design requirements.  
Unit Start-up Procedure  
1. Turn the thermostat fan position to “ON.” Blower  
should start.  
2. Balance air ow at registers.  
3. Adjust all valves to their full open position. Turn on the  
line power to all heat pump units.  
4. Room temperature should be within the minimum-  
maximum ranges of Table 9b. During start-up checks,  
loop water temperature entering the heat pump should  
be between 30°F [-1°C] and 95°F [35°C].  
5. It is recommended that water-to-air units be rst started  
in the cooling mode, when possible. This will allow liquid  
refrigerant to ow through the lter-drier before entering  
the TXV, allowing the lter-drier to catch any debris that  
might be in the system before it reaches the TXV.  
6. Two factors determine the operating limits of geothermal  
heat pumps, (a) return air temperature, and (b) water  
temperature. When any one of these factors is at a  
minimum or maximum level, the other factor must be at  
normal level to insure proper unit operation.  
a. Adjust the unit thermostat to the warmest setting.  
Place the thermostat mode switch in the “COOL”  
position. Slowly reduce thermostat setting until the  
compressor activates.  
Condensate line: Verify that condensate trap is installed  
and pitched.  
HWG pump is disconnected unless piping is completed  
and air has been purged from the system.  
Water ow balancing: Record inlet and outlet water  
temperatures for each heat pump upon startup. This  
check can eliminate nuisance trip outs and high velocity  
water ow that could erode heat exchangers.  
Unit air coil and lters: Insure that lter is clean and  
accessible. Clean air coil of all manufacturing oils.  
Unit controls: Verify that DXM2 eld selection options are  
properly set. Low voltage wiring is complete.  
Blower CFM and Water T is set on communicating  
thermostats or diagnostic tool.  
Service/access panels are in place.  
SYSTEM CHECKOUT  
System water temperature: Check water temperature  
for proper range and also verify heating and cooling set  
points for proper operation.  
System pH: Check and adjust water pH if necessary to  
maintain a level between 6 and 8.5. Proper pH promotes  
longevity of hoses and ttings (see Table 3).  
System ushing: Verify that all air is purged from the  
system. Air in the system can cause poor operation or  
system corrosion. Water used in the system must be  
potable quality initially and clean of dirt, piping slag,  
and strong chemical cleaning agents. Some antifreeze  
solutions may require distilled water.  
b. Check for cool air delivery at the unit grille within a  
few minutes after the unit has begun to operate.  
Note: Units have a ve minute time delay in the  
control circuit that can be bypassed on the DXM2  
control board as shown below in Figure 25. See  
controls description for details.  
c. Verify that the compressor is on and that the water  
ow rate is correct by measuring pressure drop  
through the heat exchanger using the pressure ports  
and comparing to Table 10.  
Internal Flow Controller: Verify that it is purged of air and  
in operating condition.  
System controls: Verify that system controls function and  
d. Check the elevation and cleanliness of the  
condensate lines. Dripping may be a sign of a  
blocked line. Check that the condensate trap is lled

UNIT START-UP PROCEDURE  
Note: Units have a five minute time delay in the  
compressor is operating. Air temperature rise should  
be between 20°F and 30°F [11°C and 17°C].  
f. Check for vibration, noise, and water leaks.  
7. If unit fails to operate, perform troubleshooting  
analysis (see troubleshooting section). If the check  
described fails to reveal the problem and the unit  
still does not operate, contact a trained service  
technician to insure proper diagnosis and repair of  
the equipment.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE  
Water Coil Maintenance  
Condensate Drain  
(Direct ground water applications only)  
In areas where airborne bacteria may produce a “slimy”  
substance in the drain pan, it may be necessary to treat  
the drain pan chemically with an algaecide approximately  
every three months to minimize the problem. The  
condensate pan may also need to be cleaned periodically  
to insure indoor air quality. The condensate drain can pick  
up lint and dirt, especially with dirty filters. Inspect the  
drain twice a year to avoid the possibility of plugging and  
eventual overflow.  
If the system is installed in an area with a known high  
mineral content (125 P.P.M. or greater) in the water, it is  
best to establish a periodic maintenance schedule with  
the owner so the coil can be checked regularly. Consult  
the well water applications section of this manual for  
a more detailed water coil material selection. Should  
periodic coil cleaning be necessary, use standard coil  
cleaning procedures, which are compatible with the heat  
exchanger material and copper water lines. Generally,  
the more water flowing through the unit, the less chance  
for scaling. Therefore, 1.5 gpm per ton [2.0 l/m per kW]  
is recommended as a minimum flow. Minimum flow rate  
for entering water temperatures below 50°F [10°C] is 2.0  
gpm per ton [2.6 l/m per kW].  
Compressor  
Conduct annual amperage checks to insure that amp  
draw is no more than 10% greater than indicated on the  
serial plate data.  
Fan Motors  
Water Coil Maintenance  
(All other water loop applications)  
Generally water coil maintenance is not needed for  
closed loop systems. However, if the piping is known to  
have high dirt or debris content, it is best to establish a  
periodic maintenance schedule with the owner so the  
All units have lubricated fan motors. Fan motors should  
never be lubricated unless obvious, dry operation  
is suspected. Periodic maintenance oiling is not  
recommended, as it will result in dirt accumulating in the  
excess oil and cause eventual motor failure. Conduct  
annual dry operation check and amperage check to  
water coil can be checked regularly. Dirty installations are insure amp draw is no more than 10% greater than  
typically the result of deterioration of iron or galvanized  
piping or components in the system. Open cooling  
towers requiring heavy chemical treatment and mineral  
buildup through water use can also contribute to higher  
indicated on serial plate data.  
Air Coil  
The air coil must be cleaned to obtain maximum  
maintenance. Should periodic coil cleaning be necessary, performance. Check once a year under normal operating  
use standard coil cleaning procedures, which are  
compatible with both the heat exchanger material and  
copper water lines. Generally, the more water flowing

conditions and, if dirty, brush or vacuum clean. Care must  
be taken not to damage the aluminum fins while cleaning.  
CAUTION: Fin edges are sharp.  
Cabinet  
Do not allow water to stay in contact with the cabinet for  
long periods of time to prevent corrosion of the cabinet  
sheet metal. Generally, vertical cabinets are set up from  
the floor a few inches [7 - 8 cm] to prevent water from  
entering the cabinet. The cabinet can be cleaned using a

gauges unless unit operation appears abnormal.  
Reference the operating charts for pressures and  
temperatures. Verify that air and water flow rates are at  
proper levels before servicing the refrigerant circuit.  
Filters  
Filters must be clean to obtain maximum performance.  
Filters should be inspected every month under normal  
operating conditions and be replaced when necessary.  
Units should never be operated without a filter.  
Washable, high efficiency, electrostatic filters, when dirty,  
can exhibit a very high pressure drop for the fan motor  
and reduce air flow, resulting in poor performance. It is  
especially important to provide consistent washing of  
these filters (in the opposite direction of the normal air  
flow) once per month using a high pressure wash similar  
to those found at self-serve car washes.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
24VDC supply to the electric heat board; terminal “EH1” is  
stage 1 electric heat; terminal “EH2” is stage 2 electric heat.  
When electric heat is energized (thermostat is sending a “W”  
input to the DXM2 controller), there will be 24VDC between  
terminal “24VDC” and “EH1” (stage 1 electric heat) and/or  
“EH2” (stage 2 electric heat). A reading of 0VDC between  
“24VDC” and “EH1” or “EH2” will indicate that the DXM2  
board is NOT sending an output signal to the electric heat  
board.  
General  
If operational difculties are encountered, perform  
the preliminary checks below before referring to the  
troubleshooting charts.  
• Verify that the unit is receiving electrical supply power.  
• Make sure the fuses in the fused disconnect switches are  
intact.  
After completing the preliminary checks described above,  
inspect for other obvious problems such as leaking  
connections, broken or disconnected wires, etc. If everything  
appears to be in order, but the unit still fails to operate  
properly, refer to the “DXM2 Troubleshooting Process  
Flowchart” or “Functional Troubleshooting Chart.”  
Test Mode  
Test mode can be entered for 20 minutes by pressing the  
Test pushbutton. The DXM2 board will automatically exit test  
mode after 20 minutes.  
DXM2 Board  
Advanced Diagnostics  
DXM2 board troubleshooting in general is best summarized  
as verifying inputs and outputs. After inputs and outputs  
have been veried, board operation is conrmed and the  
problem must be elsewhere. Below are some general  
guidelines for troubleshooting the DXM2 control.  
If a communicating thermostat or diagnostic tool is  
connected to the DXM2, additional diagnostic information  
and troubleshooting capabilities are available. The current  
status of all DXM2 inputs can be veried, including the  
current temperature readings of all temperature inputs.  
With a communicating thermostat the current status of the  
inputs can be accessed from the Service Information menu.  
In the manual operating mode, most DXM2 outputs can  
be directly controlled for system troubleshooting. With a  
communicating thermostat the manual operating mode can  
be accessed from the Installer menu. For more detailed  
information on the advanced diagnostics of the DXM2, see  
the DXM2 Application, Operation and Maintenance (AOM)  
manual (part #97B0003N15).  
Field Inputs  
Conventional thermostat inputs are 24VAC from the  
thermostat and can be veried using a voltmeter between C  
and Y1, Y2, W, O, G. 24VAC will be present at the terminal  
(for example, between “Y1” and “C”) if the thermostat is  
sending an input to the DXM2 board.  
Proper communications with a thermostat can be veried  
using the Fault LED on the DXM2. If the control is NOT  
in the Test mode and is NOT currently locked out or in  
a retry delay, the Fault LED on the DXM2 will ash very  
slowly (1 second on, 5 seconds off), if the DXM2 is properly  
communicating with the thermostat.  
DXM2 Troubleshooting Process Flowchart/Functional  
Troubleshooting Chart  
The “DXM2 Functional Troubleshooting Process Flowchart”  
is a quick overview of how to start diagnosing a suspected  
problem, using the fault recognition features of the DXM2  
board. The “Functional Troubleshooting Chart” on the  
following page is a more comprehensive method for  
identifying a number of malfunctions that may occur, and is  
not limited to just the DXM2 controls. Within the chart are  
ve columns:  
• The “Fault” column describes the symptoms.  
• Columns 2 and 3 identify in which mode the fault is likely  
to occur, heating or cooling.  
• The “Possible Cause column” identies the most likely  
sources of the problem.  
Sensor Inputs  
All sensor inputs are ‘paired wires’ connecting each  
component to the board. Therefore, continuity on pressure  
switches, for example can be checked at the board  
connector. The thermistor resistance should be measured  
with the connector removed so that only the impedance of  
the thermistor is measured. If desired, this reading can be  
compared to the thermistor resistance chart shown in the  
DXM2 AOM manual. An ice bath can be used to check the  
calibration of the thermistor.  
• The “Solution” column describes what should be done to  
correct the problem.  
Outputs  
The compressor and reversing valve relays are 24VAC  
and can be veried using a voltmeter. For units with PSC  
blower motors, the fan relay provides a contact closure to  
directly power the blower motor, or provide 24VAC to an  
external fan relay. For units with ECM blower motors, the  
DXM2 controls the motor using serial communications,  
and troubleshooting should be done with a communicating  
thermostat or diagnostic tool. The alarm relay can either  
be 24VAC as shipped or dry contacts for use with DDC  
controls by clipping the JW1 jumper. Electric heat outputs  
are 24VDC “ground sinking” and require a voltmeter set for  
DC to verify operation. The terminal marked “24VDC” is the
