ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL General Installation Information Safety Considerations WARNING: Before performing service or maintenance operations on a system, turn off main power switches to the indoor unit. If applicable, turn off the accessory heater power switch. Electrical shock could cause personal injury. Installing and servicing heating and air conditioning equipment can be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components.
ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL General Installation Information (continued) small, as in replacement of heating only systems, larger ductwork should be installed. All existing ductwork should be checked for leaks and repairs made accordingly. The duct systems and diffusers should be sized to handle the design airflow quietly. If air noise or excessive airflow is a problem, the blower speed can be changed to a lower speed to reduce airflow.
ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Connection to Air Coil Figures 1 and 2 illustrate typical Envision Split installations. The table on page 9 shows typical lineset diameters and maximum length. Linesets over 60 feet are not recommended. If the lineset is kinked or deformed and cannot be reformed, the bad section of pipe should be replaced. A restricted lineset will affect unit performance.
ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Dual Fuel Systems Envision units can be connected to fossil fuel furnaces that include an A-coil or slab coil. Dual fuel installations utilize the Envision heat pump for heating until the point that auxiliary heat is called for on the thermostat. At that point, the furnace will be enabled and the heat pump will be disabled. The Envision heat pump provides air conditioning through the furnace’s refrigerant coils.
ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Water Piping Figure 3: Swivel Connections (Residential Units) The proper water flow must be provided to each unit whenever the unit operates. To assure proper flow, use pressure/temperature ports to determine the flow rate. These ports should be located at the supply and return water connections on the unit.

ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Open Loop - Well Water Systems Typical open loop piping is shown below. Always maintain water pressure in the heat exchanger by placing water control valves at the outlet of the unit to prevent mineral precipitation. Use a closed bladder type expansion tank to minimize mineral formation due to air exposure.
ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Open Loop - Well Water Systems (continued) Solenoid Wiring Water control valves draw their power directly from a unit’s 24V transformer and can overload and possibly burn out the transformer. Check total VA draw of the water valve and ensure that it is under 15 VA. Water Quality In ground water situations where scaling could be heavy or where biological growth such as iron bacteria will be present, a closed loop system is recommended.
ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Closed Loop Ground Source Systems Note: For closed loop systems with antifreeze protection, set SW2-2 to the “loop” position (see table on page 21). Once piping is completed between the unit, pumps and the ground loop (see figure below), final purging and charging of the loop is required. A flush cart (or a 1.5 HP pump minimum) is needed to achieve adequate flow velocity in the loop to purge air and dirt particles from the loop itself.
ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Desuperheater Connections To maximize the benefits of the desuperheater a minimum 50-gallon water heater is recommended. For higher demand applications, use an 80-gallon water heater or two 50-gallon water heaters connected in a series as shown below. Electric water heaters are recommended. Make sure all local electrical and plumbing codes are followed when installing a desuperheater. Residential units with desuperheaters contain an internal circulator and fittings.
ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Plumbing Installation 1. Inspect the dip tube in the water heater cold inlet for a check valve. If a check valve is present it must be removed or damage to the desuperheater circulator will occur. 2. Remove drain valve and fitting. 3. Thread the 3/4-inch NPT x 3-1/2-inch brass nipple into the water heater drain port. 4. Attach the center port of the 3/4-inch FPT tee to the opposite end of the brass nipple. 5.
ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Electrical General Be sure the available power is the same voltage and phase as that shown on the unit serial plate. Line and low voltage wiring must be done in accordance with local codes or the National Electric Code, whichever is applicable. See unit electrical data for fuse or cicuit breaker sizing information.

ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Microprocessor Control Startup The unit will not operate until all the inputs and safety controls are checked for normal conditions. At first power-up, a four-minute delay is employed before the compressor is energized. Component Sequencing Delays Components are sequenced and delayed for optimum space conditioning performance. Accessory Relay An accessory relay on the control board allows for field connection of solenoid valves, electronic air cleaners, etc.
ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Microprocessor Control (cont.) Cooling Operation In all cooling operations, the reversing valve directly tracks the “O” input. Thus, anytime the “O” input is present, the reversing valve will be energized. Cool, 1st Stage (Y1,O) The blower motor and hot water pump are started immediately, the loop pump(s) is energized 5 seconds after the “Y1” input is received. The compressor will be energized (on low capacity for Dual Capacity units) 10 seconds after the “Y1” input.

Test mode accelerates most timing functions 16 times to allow faster troubleshooting. Test mode also allows viewing the “CURRENT” status of the fault inputs on the LED display.
ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Refrigeration The Envision series comes with a holding charge. The charge must be adjusted in the field based on performance. Refrigeration piping on the split consists of installing a brazed copper line set between the blower coil unit and the unit’s split compressor section. To select the proper tube diameters for the installation, refer to the table on page 9. Line sets over 60 feet long are not recommended because of oil return and pressure drop problems.
ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Refrigeration (continued) Leak Testing The refrigeration line set must be pressurized and checked for leaks before purging and charging the unit. To pressurize the line set, attach refrigerant gauges to the service ports and add an inert gas (nitrogen or dry carbon dioxide) until pressure reaches 60 to 90 PSIG. Never use oxygen or acetylene to pressure test.
ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL 3. Once the proper superheat setting has been achieved, replace and tighten the seal cap. Warning: There are 8 total (360°) turns on the superheat adjustment stem from wide open to fully closed. When adjusting the superheat stem clockwise (superheat increase) and the stop is reached, any further clockwise turning adjustment will damage the valve. Determining Subcooling 1.

ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Troubleshooting Standard Microprocessor Controls To check the unit control board for proper operation: 1. Disconnect thermostat wires at the control board. 2. Jumper the desired test input (Y1, Y2, W, O or G) to the R terminal to simulate a thermostat signal. 3. If control functions properly: • Check for thermostat and field control wiring (use the diagnostic inputs mode). 4.
ENVISION SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Preventive Maintenance Water Coil Maintenance 1. Keep all air out of the water. An open loop system should be checked to ensure that the well head is not allowing air to infiltrate the water line. Lines should always be airtight. 2. Keep the system under pressure at all times. It is recommended in open loop systems that the water control valve be placed in the discharge line to prevent loss of pressure during off cycles.
