PTACInstallationRecommendations For proper PTAC unit performance and maximum operating life refer to the minimum installation clearances below: Figure 1 PTAC units should be installed no closer than 12" apart when two units are side by side. If three or more PTAC units are to operate next to one another allow a minimum of 36" between units. Also,a vertical clearance of 60" should be maintained between units installed.
Wall Sleeve Installation Instructions (PDXWSA) NOTE: Insure that the unit is only installed in a wall structurally adequate to support the unit including the sleeve, chassis and accessories.If the sleeve projects more than 8" into the room, a subbase or other means of support MUST be used.

The compressor will come on anytime that the room temperature is 2℉above the set point. The fan will come on with compressor.
Settings- Detailed Configurations This section is about how to set the unit operating parameter, include display temperature unit, Fahrenheit or Celsius, control master, temperature limit, temperature calibration, display set point or room temperature. Under OFF mode, hold [Cool] and [Low] two keys at the same time continuously for 5 seconds. This time displays ‘d0’, indicates that system has entered the senior operation status.
Remote Control Thermostat Installation To control the unit with a wall mounted thermostat follow the steps below: Install Thermostat 1. Approximately 5 ft from the floor. 2. Close to or in a frequently used room,preferably on an inside wall. 3. On a section of wall without pipes or ductwork. The Thermostat should NOT be mounted: 1. Unplug the unit before doing any work 2. Remove the low voltage terminal block from the unit. 3.
Front Desk Control Terminal (ONLY FOR UNIT CONTROL) WARNING The Friedrich PV model PTAC has built-in provisions for connection to an external switch to control power to the unit. The switch can be a central desk control system. For front desk control operation, connect one side of the normal open switch to the R terminal and the other to the FD terminal. Electrical Shock Hazard Turn off electrical power before service or installation.
Final Inspection & Start-up Checklist Secure components and accessories, such as the chassis, decorative front cover and control door. Inspect and ensure that all components and accessories have been installed properly and that they have not been damaged during the installation process. Start the unit and check for proper operation of all components in each mode of operation.Instruct the owner or operator of this units operation, and the manufacturer’s recommended routine maintenance schedule.
Basic Troubleshooting Malfunction Possible Reasons S olution power line bad, units don’t have power supply. Check the indicator LED on the LCID power head, it should be lit up, if not, push the RESET button, if still don’t have voltage, but power grid has output, you need to change the power cord. Power cord protection trip. Check the power cord if somewhere is broken, push the RESET button. If not solved, replace the power cord. Power cord isn’t fixed well.
Malfunction Outlet temperature is not always cooling/heating Possible Reasons Solution When outdoor ambient temp is low, the heat Outlet temperature is not high enough when pump will not be able to offer enough heat. Soon heating by heat pump. after that, the E-heater will come on to heat. Fan stops when cooling/heating. It is normal when the CONSTANT FAN is OFF. Youcan enable the CONSTANT FAN. Outdoor is dripping water Not install the drain pipe kit. Install the drain pipe kit.
