construction. Plan the installation carefully before you begin.  
Listed below are some guidelines that should be followed  
when determining location for the unit.  
IMPORTANT: If necessary, reconfigure the 24,000 Btuh  
fan coil unit to 18,000 Btuh. Unplug the fan motor at the  
control box harness and plug into the 40QA018 marked  
connector.  
1. Place unit adjacent to an outside wall if fresh air is  
required, ensuring that location allows for complete air  
distribution.  
2. Locate the thermostat in an area that is not subjected to  
drafts or direct sunlight through windows. Locate the  
thermostat on an internal wall whenever possible.  
3. Allow sufficient clearance for airflow, wiring, refriger-  
ant piping, and servicing unit (Fig. 3 and 4).  
4. Make sure the unit is easily accessible to electrical  
power.  
Step 2 — Select Location — Consult local building  
codes and NEC for special installation requirements. See Fig. 3  
and 4 for unit dimensions and required clearances.  
There are several ways the unit may be installed to different  
types of ceiling construction. These instructions do not cover  
all installation methods. As a typical installation, these instruc-  
tions focus primarily on mounting the unit to metal in new

5. Run refrigerant piping as directly as possible and avoid  
any unnecessary turns or bends.  
6. Condensate piping can be directed through the inside  
wall to an approved drain or straight outside.  
NOTE: The piping hole for condensate line must slope at a  
minimum pitch of 1/4 in. per foot to ensure proper drainage. If  
proper pitch cannot be achieved, install accessory condensate  
pump at this time.  
Step 3 — Mount Unit — Refer to Fig. 4 for clearances  
and dimensions. Use mounting template included inside box to  
locate mounting bolt holes, piping holes, electrical connec-  
tions, and accessory outdoor-air intake, if used.  
Select proper type of hardware from the guidelines below.  
See Fig. 5.  
Fig. 5 — Fan Coil Unit Mounting Methods  
(Hardware is Field-Supplied)  
Solid structure in ceiling must be used due to the weight of  
the unit.  
2. Determine installation position, paying particular  
attention to piping lengths, wiring connections, clear-  
ances, etc. See Fig. 3 for connection locations, Fig. 4  
for clearances, and Fig. 7 and 8 for bolt locations.  
WOODEN STRUCTURE — Install hanging bolts on a  
square wooden piece placed over beams.  
3. Open knockout if right-side piping connections are  
required (Fig. 9), by removing the pre-slit portion in  
the rear of the right side panel with a saw or cutter  
knife.  
4. Mount hanging brackets on ceiling (Fig. 10) for either  
concealed or exposed bolt hanging position.  
5. Lift the unit into place, and fit the hex-head bolts on  
sides of indoor unit into mounting slots of mounting  
brackets (Fig. 11). Ensure unit is mounted with a slight  
tilt to the right rear side for properly drainage.  
NEWLY BUILT CONCRETE SLAB — Install hanging bolts  
with inserts, embedded bolts, etc.  
METAL STRUCTURE — Install hanging bolts utilizing an  
existing angle or by installing a new support angle.  
PREVIOUSLY BUILT CONCRETE SLAB — Install hang-  
ing bolts with expansion anchor.  
TO MOUNT UNIT:  
1. Remove mounting bracket and reinstall the 2 hex-head  
bolts (factory-supplied) into each side of indoor unit as  
3
shown in Fig. 6. Allow approximately /8-in. space  
6. Tighten indoor unit hex-head bolts securely.  
between bolt head and unit.

TO INSTALL THERMOSTAT:  
3
If there is at least /8 in. of space between the back of indoor  
unit and wall:  
1. Route thermostat wires (field-supplied) through slot in  
right side or rear panel of indoor unit (Fig. 3).  
2. Route wires over refrigerant and drain piping as shown  
in Fig. 12.  
IMPORTANT: Do not route wires under the piping, or  
wires could impede air filter removal.  
Fig. 6 — Installing Hex-Head Mounting Bolts  
in Fan Coil Unit  
Step 4 — Connect Refrigerant Piping — Fan coil  
units may be connected to outdoor units using field-supplied  
refrigerant grade piping. Refer to Tables 3A and 3B for the cor-  
rect size piping. The length of refrigerant pipe depends on the  
unit placement and building structure; run pipes as directly as  
possible. For piping requirements over 50 ft of total run, or  
more than 25 ft of lift, consult the Residential Long Line Appli-  
cation Guide.  
DO NOT BURY MORE THAN 36 IN. OF REFRIGER-  
ANT PIPE IN THE GROUND. If any section of pipe is  
buried, there must be a 6-in. vertical rise to the valve con-  
nections on the outdoor unit. If more than the recommended  
length is buried, refrigerant may migrate to the cooler, bur-  
ied section during extended periods of unit shutdown, caus-  
ing refrigerant slugging and possible compressor damage at  
start-up.

Fig. 7 — Fan Coil Unit Hanging Dimensions  
To connect piping:  
1. Install insulation. It is extremely important that all  
refrigerant lines and the metering device be insulated  
on heat pumps and multi-splits. On cooling only units,  
the liquid line may be left uninsulated. Use any accept-  
able heat resistant closed-cell foam insulation (mini-  
3
mum /8-in. wall thickness). When insulating piping,  
cap ends and slide insulation over the piping. Insula-  
tion can also be cut and placed over piping.  
2. Run liquid and gas refrigerant piping.  
a. Run pipes as directly as possible, and avoid any  
unnecessary turns and bends.  
b. Suspend refrigerant pipes so that the insulation is  
not damaged and vibrations are not transmitted to  
the structure.  
c. Leave slack in the refrigerant pipe between the  
structure and the unit to absorb vibrations.  
d. A piston is shipped in the factory-installed meter-  
ing device body (Fig. 13) with the indoor unit. Use  
Tables 4A-4C to verify that you have the required  
piston size for the system being installed.

e. For special applications such as long lines or raised  
elevations, consult the Residential Long Line  
Application Guide for specific system require-  
ments. The arrow on the metering device body  
must face away from the indoor coil.

f. Refer to the outdoor unit Installation, Start-Up and  
Service Instructions for additional information.  
g. Install a factory-supplied filter drier near the out-  
door unit. On heat pump systems, a bi-flow filter  
drier must be used.  
2. To ensure regular flow of condensate water, the drain  
pipe should be pitched toward an open drain or sump  
at a downward slope of at least 1/4-in. per ft.  
3. Attach plate with screws under piping hole.  
4. Attach drain pipe with nylon wire tie passing through  
hole (Fig. 15).  
NOTE: Do not fasten nylon wire ties tight enough to  
deform the insulation, as this affects its performance.  
5. Insulate condensate drain line(s) that are located in or  
above an occupied area with a condensate-proof mate-  
rial such as polyurethane or neoprene.  
3. Insulate and caulk wall openings to reduce air infiltra-  
tion and refrigerant pipe vibrations on structure.  
4. Evacuate piping, if necessary. If either refrigerant pip-  
ing or the indoor coil is exposed to atmospheric condi-  
tions, it must be evacuated to 1000 microns to  
eliminate contamination and moisture in the system.  
Step 5 — Connect Condensate Drain Line —  
Observe all local sanitary codes when installing condensate  
drains. Refer to Fig. 3 and 14 for drain pipe connection from  
indoor unit.  
1. Use hard polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe material with  
nominal ID of 3/4 in. to connect at drain line. Use pipe  
insulation 1/4-in. thick, such as Armaflex insulation, on  
exposed piping inside the conditioned space.  
6. Install an external trap at the end of the condensate  
line.  
NOTE: Should the installation require one, a conden-  
sate pump may be ordered as a field-installed  
accessory.

outdoor unit if disconnect can be locked; check local code  
before installing in this manner.  
1. Route ground and power wires.  
Step 6 — Make Electrical Connections — Be sure  
field wiring complies with local building codes and NEC, and  
unit voltage is within limits shown in Table 5.  
Contact local power company for correction of improper  
line voltage.  
According to NEC and most local codes, the unit must have  
an uninterrupted, unbroken ground to minimize personal  
injury if an electric fault should occur. The ground may  
consist of electrical wire or metal conduit when installed in  
accordance with existing electrical codes. Failure to follow  
this warning could result in an electric shock, fire, or death.  
To avoid personal injury or damage to unit, do not make  
electrical connections until all power sources are shut  
down, locked out, and tagged off. Failure to do so could  
result in personal injury or unit damage.  
2. Route line power leads (see Fig. 16) from indoor dis-  
connect to the fan coil unit. Place wire through hole on  
the control box (Fig. 17). Connect wire to high voltage  
terminal board (TB1) and ground screw. When routing  
the wire in the unit, use care to keep the wire away  
from refrigerant and condensate piping and any sharp  
edges. The 208/230-v units are factory wired for  
230-v to 24-v transformer operation. For 208-v to  
24-v operation, interchange blue (208-v) and red  
(230-v) wires. Cap any unused wires with wire nuts.  
Operation of unit on improper line voltage constitutes abuse  
and could affect warranty. Refer to Table 5 for permissible  
operating limits. Do not install unit in system where voltage  
may fluctuate above or below permissible limits.  
NOTE: Use copper wire only between disconnect switch(es)  
and unit.  
NOTE: Install branch circuit disconnect of adequate size to  
handle unit starting current per NEC. Locate disconnect within  
sight of, and readily accessible from, unit, per Section 440-14  
of NEC. Some codes allow indoor unit to share disconnect with

The heat pump unit uses a timed defrost method. The timed  
defrost can be field set for 30, 50, or 90 minutes. The timed de-  
frost is factory set for 90 minutes.  
Step 8 — Make Connections Between Indoor  
and Outdoor Units — The thermostat is wired between  
the indoor and outdoor units to make the system complete.  
CHECK ACCURATER METERING DEVICE — The cor-  
rect AccuRater (bypass type) refrigerant control is required for  
system capacity optimization. An AccuRater device  
(see Fig. 19) is supplied with the outdoor unit. Refer to  
Tables 4A-4C to determine the correct AccuRater piston size  
and charge combination required for the condenser/evaporator  
system being installed.  
Piston style as shown in Fig. 19 is shipped with the unit.  
Do not interchange components between the AccuRater device  
types.  
COOLING ONLY SYSTEMS — The following connec-  
tions must be made to the outdoor unit for it to operate as a sys-  
tem with the indoor unit:  
38HDR018-060  
Route 2 wires of field-supplied 18-gage AWG (American  
Wire Gage) thermostat cable between the low-voltage terminal  
block of the fan coil unit and the blue and brown low-voltage  
wires in the outdoor unit low voltage terminal block. Connect  
the wires Y1 to Y and C to C. See Fig. 20.  
HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS — The following connections  
must be made to the outdoor unit for it to operate as a system  
with the indoor unit:  
Route 5 wires of field-supplied 18-gage AWG thermostat  
cable between the low-voltage terminal block of the fan coil  
and the outdoor unit low-voltage terminal block. Connect Y1  
to Y, R to R, O to O, W2 to W2, and C to C with the wires. See  
Fig. 21.

START-UP  
Operating Sequence — Ceiling-suspended fan coil  
units have a relay board which controls system operation in re-  
sponse to a room thermostat. The user may manually select any  
one of 3 fan speeds for unit operation. Ceiling-suspended sys-  
tems may be equipped with an accessory power ventilation kit  
and/or condensate pump.  
Never operate unit without a filter or with grille removed;  
damage to the unit or personal injury may result.  
FAN OPERATION — Fan coils are capable of 3-speed opera-  
tion. See thermostat instructions for fan speed selection. When  
the fan(s) is operating in medium or high speed and the unit is  
equipped with the power ventilation kit, the ventilation fan will  
operate to provide fresh air.  
COOLING MODE OPERATION — When the room ther-  
mostat senses a demand for cooling, the fan coil relay board is  
energized. The indoor fan(s) will start in the selected speed (if  
it is not already operating). The reversing valve (heat pump  
only) will energize for cooling operation.  
Make the following checks and complete the Start-Up  
Checklist on page CL-1 before system start-up. Also refer to  
the condensing unit Installation, Start-Up and Service Instruc-  
tions for system start-up instructions and refrigerant charging  
methods.  
1. Check condensate drainage system:  
a. Remove grille and frame from the unit.  
b. On the opposite side of the drain connection, insert  
a water bottle up into the fan coil unit and fill drain  
pan. Refer to Fig. 22. Water must flow steadily; if  
not, check the pipe slope or inspect for any pipe  
restrictions.  
The internal condensate pump (if so equipped) runs when-  
ever the reversing valve is energized (heat pump only) and/or  
the unit is in cooling. As long as the condensate float switch  
and freeze protection thermostat are closed, the cooling relays  
in the fan coil unit will close. This energizes the compressor  
and outdoor fan in the outdoor unit. The compressor will con-  
tinue to operate until the room thermostat is satisfied. When the  
cooling demand is satisfied, the compressor and outdoor fan  
will stop. If the system is in the AUTO. position, the indoor fan  
will stop with the compressor. If the unit has the accessory ven-  
tilation kit, the ventilation fan will operate whenever the indoor  
fan is set for medium or high speed.  
HEAT PUMP OPERATION — When the room thermostat  
senses a demand for heating the indoor fan will start in the  
selected speed (if not already operating), and the reversing  
valve will not be energized. The internal condensate pump (if  
supplied) and freeze protection thermostat are not operated  
during heating operation. The control relay (CR2) closes, and  
the compressor and outdoor fan are energized through the de-  
frost board (DFB), which is located in the outdoor unit. The  
microprocessor logic in the DFB is energized when the com-  
pressor starts, and the defrost timer runs. Once every 90 min-  
utes (factory default setting) of compressor run time, the DFB  
logic checks the defrost thermostat (DFT). If the DFT is open,  
the unit continues in heating operation. If the DFT is closed, the  
DFB switches the unit to defrost mode. The timing on the DFB  
may be set at either 30, 50, or 90 minutes.  
DEFROST (Heat Pump Only) — The DFB energizes the  
RVS (reversing valve solenoid), and the reversing valve  
switches to the cooling position. The K1 relay on the DFB  
opens and the outdoor fan stops. The W2 contact on the DFB is  
also energized, which in turn energizes the defrost relay on the  
fan coil relay board, turns off the electric heater and stops the  
indoor fan.  
The DFB logic checks the 10-minute defrost timer and the  
DFT. If the DFT opens in less than 10 minutes, the DFB  
switches the unit back to normal heating operation. If the DFT  
remains closed, the DFB switches the unit back to heating op-  
eration after 10 minutes. When the DFB changes back to heat-  
ing mode, the RVR (reversing valve relay) is deenergized and  
the reversing valve switches back to heating operation. Both  
the outdoor and indoor fans come back on, and if necessary, the  
electric heater also turns on.  
2. Make sure that all wiring connections are correct and  
that they are tight.  
3. Check that all barriers, covers, and panels are in place.  
Ensure that the filters and return-air grilles have been  
installed and that the discharge louvers are positioned  
correctly.  
After Extended Shutdown — If the system has been  
turned off for more than 12 hours and a crankcase heater is be-  
ing used, turn on the indoor and outdoor unit disconnect  
switches to supply power to the system for 12 hours BEFORE  
starting the system.  
Seasonal Changeovers — When changing heat pump  
system from cooling to heating or heating to cooling, or before  
starting cooling only system after it has been out of use for the  
winter season, perform the following steps BEFORE starting  
the system:  
1. Inspect and clean the outdoor unit, particularly the  
coil.  
2. Clean or replace the air filters in the indoor unit.  
3. Clean the indoor unit drain pan and drain pipe, and  
remove any obstructions.  
4. If the outdoor unit is equipped with a crankcase heater,  
turn on indoor and outdoor unit disconnect switches to  
supply power to the system 12 hours before starting  
the system.  
Adjusting Airflow  
AUTOMATIC AIR SWEEP — All units are equipped with  
an air sweep feature which directs the airflow louvers up and  
down to provide optimum room air circulation. The air sweep  
function can be controlled by the toggle switch located on the  
lower right corner of the unit. If using a thermostat with an air  
sweep switch, see Fig. 20 and 21 for wiring modifications.  
Operating Mode Memory — After the system is  
turned off or after a power failure, the system remains in the  
last operating mode selected. When the system is turned back  
on, or when power is automatically restored, operation contin-  
ues in the same operating mode as when the system shut down.  
SYSTEM SAFETIES — The system is equipped with the  
following safety devices to protect system components:  
Indoor coil freeze protection thermostat — If a coil temper-  
ature of 28 F or lower is sensed, the compressor and outdoor  
fan will be shut down until the coil temperature exceeds 28 F.  
The indoor fan will continue to run.  
Automatic Operation (Auto.) Mode — If auto.  
mode is selected, the system automatically switches over the  
operating mode from heating to cooling, or from cooling to  
heating (heat pump system only) depending on the selected  
temperature. Auto. mode also controls fan speed if not manual-  
ly overridden.  
Condensate float switch (units equipped with accessory  
condensate pump, cooling cycle only) — If the level of con-  
densate in the drain pan rises too high, the condensate float  
switch will turn the system off.  
NOTE: Between the cooling cycle and the heating cycle there  
is a neutral zone of approximately 2° F above and 2° F below  
the selected temperature when only the fan is operating.  
18  
SPECIAL OPERATION, HEATING — Outdoor cooling units  
may be matched with heat pump ceiling-suspended fan coil  
units to provide supplemental electric heat. All other operation  
is the same as a cooling-only system, except these units have  
heating capability as follows:  
When the room thermostat initiates a call for heating, the  
electric heater is turned on. The indoor unit fan will start at the  
same time, if it was not already running.  
When the heating requirement is satisfied, the room thermo-  
stat will open, and the heater will turn off.  
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
Fig. 22 — Inserting Water into Drain Pan  
To avoid the possibility of electric shock, before performing  
any cleaning and maintenance operations, always turn off  
power to the system by pressing the mode button on the  
remote thermostat until the display shows “OFF,” and turn-  
ing off the outdoor disconnect switch located near the out-  
door unit. If the indoor unit is on a separate switch, be sure  
to turn this disconnect off as well.  
Air Filters (Fig. 23)  
Operating the system with dirty air filters may damage the  
indoor unit and, in addition, can cause reduced cooling per-  
formance, intermittent system operation, frost build-up on  
the indoor coil, and blown fuses. Inspect and clean or  
replace the air filters monthly.  
Do not wash filter in water over 120 F (to avoid shrinkage).  
Do not expose filter to fire (to avoid fire damage). Do not  
expose filter to direct sunlight. Clean filter more frequently  
when air is extremely dirty.  
REMOVE AIR FILTERS — Remove filters by pulling them  
straight out.  
CLEAN OR REPLACE FILTERS — Filters can be vacu-  
umed or washed in warm water. Shake filter to remove any ex-  
cess water, and replace by sliding filter behind grille until filter  
snaps in place. Refer to Fig. 23.  
For proper system operation, perform the cleaning and  
maintenance operations in Table 6.  
Lubrication — The indoor-fan, automatic air sweep, and the  
outdoor-fan motors are factory lubricated and require no oiling.  
If the filter has begun to break down or is torn, replace it.  
Replacement filters are available through your dealer.

Clean Indoor Unit Bottom Panel — If the bottom panel  
of the unit becomes dirty or smudged, wipe the outside of the  
panel with a soft dry cloth. Use a mild liquid detergent and  
wipe off carefully with a dry cloth.  
Clean Indoor Coil — To clean the coil, remove indoor unit  
bottom panel and vacuum the coil fins, using care not to bend  
or damage fins.  
Clean Outdoor Coil (Outdoor Unit)  
Some metal parts and sharp fins of outdoor unit coil can  
cause personal injury during cleaning. Clean coil carefully.  
To clean the outdoor coil:  
1. Remove any dirt or obstruction from discharge  
opening.  
2. Use a garden hose to spray water on the coil. Debris  
that collects between coil fins inhibits heat transfer —  
direct the water spray between coil fins to flush out  
debris.  
Fig. 23 — Cleaning Filters  
Clean Condensate Drains — Clean all drains and drain  
pans at the start of each cooling season. Check the flow by  
pouring water into the drain.

call by doing the following:  
CLEAN OR REPLACE DRAIN PAN  
1. Be sure main power to system is turned on.  
2. Press Mode button until OFF is displayed. Wait 5 min-  
utes.  
3. Press Mode button until either COOL or HEAT is dis-  
played (as desired).  
4. Adjust thermostat set point to desired room tempera-  
ture. If system starts within a few minutes, service may  
not be necessary. If system does not operate properly,  
check Table 7 for typical solutions.  
1. Place a plastic sheet on the floor to catch any water  
that may spill from drain pan.  
2. Remove the intake grille and distribution assembly  
(attached).  
3. Remove the condensate water in the drain pan by let-  
ting water drain into a 3-gallon bucket.  
Do not use a screwdriver to pry drain pan out of assembly  
— it could damage the pan.  
IF SYSTEM FAILS TO OPERATE — Be sure:  
• unit ON/OFF switch is in ON position  
• fuse or circuit breaker is not tripped  
4. Remove the 4 screws holding the drain pan.  
5. Carefully hold the drain pan to remove it from the  
assembly.  
FRESH AIR INSTALLATION OPTION  
The units have an installation option, which allows for field  
installation of fresh air ventilation. Plan the installation careful-  
ly. Before beginning, measure carefully and follow acceptable  
building practices, NEC, and local codes.  
SERVICE  
Ventilation-Air Accessory — Refer to ventilation air  
accessory installation instructions.  
When servicing unit, turn off all electric power to unit to  
avoid shock hazard or injury from rotating parts.  
TROUBLESHOOTING
