charge; failure of evaporator fan; 
built-in compressor internal pressure 
equalization (018, 048, 060 sizes) to 
limit excessive pressure build-up; a 
high-pressure switch for high-
pressure protection on units equipped 
with scroll compressors; and defrost 
board for time/temperature defrost 
function and compressor time delay 
(5 minute).
 
Defrost Control Board 
 
—
Incorporates a built-in 5-minute 
compressor time delay, a defrost 
relay, defrost timer, and low-voltage 
wire leads. The defrost control is a 
time/temperature initiation/
termination control which includes 3 
field-selectable time periods of 30, 
50, and 90 minutes.
 
Weather-Protective Cabinet
 
 —
Steel is protected with a heavy 
coating commonly called 
‘‘galvanizing,’’ and coated 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 sine wave 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. Coil 
can be cleaned with a common 
garden hose.
 
External Service Valves 
 
— Both 
service valves are brass, front seating 
type with sweat connections. Each 
valve has a service port for ease of 
checking operating refrigerant 
pressures. Valves are externally 
located so refrigerant tube 
connections can be made quickly and 
easily. A third service port is located 
on the service panel for ease of 
checking operating suction pressure 
in the heating mode.
 
Warranty 
 
— Standard 1-year on all 
parts, with an additional 4-years on 
compressor.
