SYSTEM CONFIGURATION WALL THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION ETAC II heat pump and heat/cool models will work with WARNING most common 24vac single stage wall thermostats. CAUTION WARNING CAUTION ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD – The unit and accessories should be installed and serviced only by trained, qualified installers and service technicians. Thermostat Wire Routing (under sleeve, behind front panel) 1. Disconnect all electrical power to unit including disconnecting plug, fuses and circuit breakers. Fig.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION WALL THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION (CON’T) 7. Connect thermostat wire to the ETAC II thermostat connection terminals per wire diagram (see Fig. 22). NOTES: 1. Use terminal “O” for heat pump connection only. 2. Terminal “C” (common) is typically only required for digital thermostats. NOTES: Any illegal input combinations will be captured as thermostat wiring failures and will light the STATUS LED indicator on main board (see Intelligent Self-Checking Control section). Fig.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION ENERGY MANAGEMENT INPUT (FRONT DESK CONTROL) The ETAC II can interface to a switch signal from remote energy management input, called EM signal or front desk control. The input signal must be 24 VAC. If unit receives a 24 VAC signal, it will turn off; otherwise, the unit runs normally. This function will be disabled under Freeze Guard protection. See Fig. 21 for terminal connections.

CARE AND CLEANING Preventive maintenance is essential to proper unit operation, efficiency and longevity, and required to maintain equipment warranty. To ensure equipment operates properly, it must be properly maintained. Equipment operation should be checked and verified several times during each year. For typical unit inspection and maintenance, follow the guidelines below: FRONT PANEL AND CASE Turn unit off and disconnect power supply. To clean, use water and a mild detergent.
ll up CARE AND CLEANING Coils Coils Coils Grille Grille Grille AIR FILTERS IMPORTANT: Turn unit off before cleaning. IDENTIFYING CLOGGED FILTER The most important thing you can do to maintain unit efficiency is to clean the filters at least every 30 days (or sooner depending on application). Clogged filters reduce cooling, heating and airflow. Dirty filterNeeds cleaning Keeping filters clean will: • Decrease cost of operation. • Save energy. • Prevent clogged indoor coil.
TROUBLESHOOTING POSSIBLE CAUSES UNIT DOES NOT START • Unit may have become unplugged • Fuse may have blown • Circuit breaker may have been tripped • Unit may be off or in wall thermostat mode. Check section on dip switch settings to verify dip switches are set properly. • Unit may be in a protection or diagnostic failure mode. See section on Intelligent Self-checking Control. UNIT NOT COOLING/HEATING ROOM • Unit air discharge section is blocked • Temperature setting is not high or low enough.
TROUBLESHOOTING POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTIONS WATER DRIPPING INSIDE • Wall sleeve is not installed level • Clogged drain • Wall sleeve must be installed with a 1/4 bubble pitch toward the outside for proper drainage of condensation. Check that installation is level and make any necessary adjustments. • The condensate drain may be partially or fully plugged. ICE OR FROST FORMS ON INDOOR COIL • Low outdoor temperature • Dirty filters • When outdoor temperature is approximately 55°F (12.
