Two-Stage Air Conditioners
• EcoNet
™
Enabled product. The EcoNet Smart Home System
provides advanced air & water control for maximum energy
savings and ideal comfort.
• New composite base pan – dampens sound, captures louver
panels, eliminates corrosion and reduces number of fasteners
needed
• Powder coat paint system – for a long lasting professional finish
• The Two Stage Copeland Scroll
™
UltraTech
™
Compressor
modulates between two capacity settings – 67% and
100% – providing more precise temperature control, lower
humidity and greater efficiency in comparison to single stage
compressors. It uses 70% fewer moving parts which also
increases efficiency and reliability.
• Modern cabinet aesthetics – increased curb appeal with visu-
ally appealing design
• Curved louver panels – provide ultimate coil protection,
enhance cabinet strength, and increased cabinet rigidity
• Optimized fan orifice – optimizes airflow and reduces unit
sound
• Rust resistant screws – confirmed through 1500-hour salt
spray testing
• PlusOne™ Expanded Valve Space – 3"-4"-5" service valve
space – provides a minimum working area of 27-square inches
for easier access
• PlusOne™ Triple Service Access – 15" wide, industry lead-
ing corner service access – makes repairs easier and faster.
The two fastener removable corner allows optimal access to
internal unit components. Individual louver panels come out
once fastener is removed, for faster coil cleaning and easier
cabinet reassembly
• Diagnostic service window with two-fastener opening –
provides access to the high and low pressure.
• External gauge port access – allows easy connection of
“low-loss” gauge ports
• Single-row condenser coil – makes unit lighter and allows
thorough coil cleaning to maintain “out of the box”
performance
• 35% fewer cabinet fasteners and fastener-free base – allow
for faster access to internal components and hassle-free
panel removal
• Service trays – hold fasteners or caps during service calls
• QR code – provides technical information on demand for
faster service calls
• Fan motor harness with extra long wires allows unit top to be
removed without disconnecting fan wire.
• High and low pressure standard on all models.
