Built-in-Reliable Components 
 
— 
Includes a suction-tube accumulator 
that reduces the amount of liquid 
refrigerant reaching the compressor, 
a loss of charge switch, and an 
internal pressure relief valve for high-
pressure protection.
 
Defrost Control Board 
 
— Incorporates 
a defrost relay, defrost timer, and low-
voltage terminations. The defrost 
control is a time/temperature 
initiation/termination control which 
includes 3 field-selectable time 
periods of 30, 50, and 90 minutes.
 
Thermostatic Expansion 
Valve (TXV) 
 
— This unit must be 
installed with a TXV on the indoor 
coil. The FC4 and FK4 indoor fan 
coils come factory equipped with a 
bi-flow TXV. When installed in this 
application, no further change is 
required. If any other indoor fan coil 
or furnace coil is used, an accessory 
bi-flow TXV must be installed. See 
accessory list in this publication for 
correct part number.
 
Discharge Muffler 
 
— Incorporated 
to minimize low frequency sound and 
pressure pulsation generated by 
compressor discharge gas.
 
Weather-Protective Cabinet 
 
— 
Steel is protected with a galvanized
coating and treated with a layer of 
zinc phosphate. A coat of modified 
polyester powder is then applied and 
baked on, providing each unit with a 
hard, smooth finish that will last for 
many years.
All screws on cabinet exterior are 
coated for a long-lasting, rust-
resistant, quality appearance.
 
Unit Design 
 
— All units are equipped 
with totally enclosed fan motors for 
greater reliability under rain and snow 
conditions. The large, wraparound 
coil uses copper tube and enhanced 
aluminum fin and is designed for 
optimum heat transfer during heating 
and cooling. The vertical air 
discharge carries the sound and 
air up and away from adjacent
patio areas and foliage. The 
condenser coil can be cleaned with a 
common garden hose.
 
External Service Valves 
 
— Both 
service valves are brass, front seating 
type. Valves are externally located so 
refrigerant tube connections can 
be made quickly and easily with sweat 
field connections. Each 
valve has a service port for ease of 
checking operating refrigerant 
pressures.
 
Limited Warranty 
 
— Standard 5-year 
limited warranty on parts, 5-year 
limited warranty on compressor.
