Overview

This document provides installation, operation, and maintenance instructions for Combination Units with Gas Heat and Electric Cool functionalities, specifically covering PGF, PGC, PGS, GPFM, GPCM, and GPSM models ranging from 1.5 to 5 tons.

Function Description

These combination units are designed to provide both heating and cooling for residential or commercial applications. They utilize gas for heating and an electric cool system for air conditioning. The units are self-contained, meaning all major components for both heating and cooling are housed within a single cabinet. The gas heating system involves burners, a heat exchanger, and a combustion air blower, while the electric cooling system includes a compressor, condenser coil, and evaporator coil. A circulating air blower distributes conditioned air throughout the building via ductwork. The unit's operation is controlled by a fan control module and a thermostat, allowing for automatic regulation of temperature.

Usage Features

The units are adaptable for both ground-level and rooftop installations, with specific platform requirements outlined for each. For ground-level installations, a level and strong platform, either concrete or pressure-treated wood, is necessary, ensuring proper condensate drainage. Rooftop installations require an adequate roof structure or reinforcement to support the unit's weight. The units can be converted for downflow applications by removing and reinstalling blockoff plates in the return and supply air compartments.

Gas supply and piping are critical for the heating function. The manual emphasizes using the correct type of gas (natural gas or LP gas) as specified on the rating plate and ensuring the gas supply line is of adequate size. Proper pipe joint compound application and the installation of a drip leg are highlighted to prevent dirt and moisture from entering the gas valve. Orifice sizes must be matched to the heating value of the gas and adjusted for high altitudes if necessary. The manual provides detailed instructions for changing orifices, a procedure that requires a qualified service technician.

Electrical wiring must conform to local codes and the National Electrical Code, with a separate fused circuit and a disconnect switch located within sight of the unit. All line voltage connections and grounding must be made with copper wire. The thermostat's location significantly impacts unit operation, and its heat anticipator must be set correctly.

Start-up procedures include checking blower motor speeds, ensuring clean and properly sized air filters are installed, and replacing all service access panels. For scroll compressor units, reverse rotation must be checked and corrected if necessary by reversing any two wires at the line voltage connections. Manifold gas pressure adjustment is a key step during heating start-up, requiring a U-tube manometer and careful adherence to specified pressure values to avoid property damage or injury. The heating start-up sequence involves the combustion air blower activating, the ignitor glowing, the pilot flame lighting, and then the main burners igniting, followed by the circulating blower.

For cooling, the thermostat is set to cool, and the system's components (contactor, compressor, condenser fan motor, and circulating air blower) are checked for proper operation during power application. The fan control module manages the "ON" and "OFF" delays for the circulating air blower, with adjustable settings for both heating and cooling cycles. Separate speed selections for heat, cool, and continuous fan operation are available, allowing for optimization of airflow and temperature rise.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the efficient and safe operation of the unit. Monthly checks include inspecting and cleaning air filters, which are a common cause of inadequate performance if dirty. Washable filters can be cleaned with mild detergent and cold water. Filters must be replaced with arrows pointing in the direction of airflow.

During the heating season, monthly checks involve inspecting the pilot flame to ensure it envelops the upper part of the flame sensor and observing the main burner flame for stability, solid blue color (without solid yellow tips), and proper extension into the heat exchanger tubes. The vent hood and inlet air opening in the burner compartment should be inspected for soot, rust, corrosion, or obstructions and cleaned as required.

For the cooling season, monthly checks focus on the condenser coil, ensuring it is clean and free of debris, and the condensate drain, which should be checked for proper drainage and cleaned as needed.

Annual maintenance and inspection require turning off electric power and gas supply before removing access panels. The condenser fan motor should be oiled after five years of operation and every five years thereafter, using SAE 10W30 motor oil. The blower wheel and compartment should be visually inspected for dirt or lint and cleaned. Excessive accumulation may necessitate removing the blower assembly.

Inspection and cleaning of the burner assembly, heat exchangers, and flue gas passages are critical and should only be performed by a qualified service technician. This involves disconnecting electrical power and gas, removing various components like the burner access panel, vent assembly flue pipe, gas pipe, and gas control valve, then cleaning the burners with a stiff brush or hot water. Flue gas passages are cleaned using small brushes and a vacuum cleaner. After cleaning, all parts and gaskets are reinstalled, gas supply is checked for leaks, and access panels are secured before restoring power and checking for normal operation. The spark gap for spark-to-pilot models must be checked during reinstallation.
