User’s Information and Installation Instructions
T3BN Series High Efficiency Commercial Split System
These units have been designed and tested for capacity and efficiency in accor-
dancewithA.R.I.Standards.SplitSystemHeatPumpunits,whencombinedwith
our air handlers, offer a high quality, matched heating and cooling system.
These instructions are primarily intended to assist qualified individuals expe-
rienced in the proper installation of heating and/or air conditioning appliances.
Some local codes require licensed installation/service personnel for this type of
equipment. Read all instructions carefully before starting the installation.
normal, and the unit will periodically defrost
itself. During the defrost cycle, the outdoor
fanwillstop,andthecompressorwillcontinue
to run and heat the outdoor coil, causing the
snow and ice to melt. After the snow and ice
have melted, some steam may rise from the
outdoor unit as the warm coil causes some
melted frost to evaporate.
TO MAINTAINYOUR HEAT PUMP—
CAUTION:
Be certain the electrical power to
the outdoor unit and the furnace/air
handler is disconnected before
doing the following recommended
maintenance.
TO OPERATEYOUR HEAT PUMP
FOR AUTOMATIC COOLING AND
HEATING—
1. Regularly:
a. Clean or replace the indoor air filter at the
start of each heating and cooling season,
and when an accumulation of dust and
dirt is visible on the air filter. Inspect the
filter monthly.
1. Set the thermostat system switch to AUTO
and the thermostat fan switch to AUTO.(See
Figure 1)
Note: Thermostats will vary. Some models
will not include the AUTO mode, and others
will have the AUTO in place of the HEAT and
COOL, and some will include all three.
b. Remove any leaves and grass clippings
from the coil in the outdoor unit, being
careful not to damage the aluminum
fi n s .
2. Set the thermostat temperature to the
desired heating and cooling temperature
level(s). The outdoor unit and the indoor
blower will then cycle on and off in either
the heating or cooling mode of operation as
requiredtoautomaticallymaintaintheindoor
temperature within the desired limits.
c. Check for any obstruction such as twigs,
sticks, etc.
d. Certain models have external panels
fabricated from a premium grade
of steel designed to inhibit cor-
rosion. For such units, if the unit is
located in a coastal region or other area
subjected to high concentrations of salt,
then the unit should be hosed off after
stormsandmonthlyotherwisetomaintain
its new appearance.
TO SHUT OFFYOUR HEAT
PUMP—
SetthethermostatsystemswitchtoOFFandthe
thermostat fan switch to AUTO. (See Figure 1)
The system will not operate, regardless of the
thermostat temperature selector(s) setting.
CAUTION:
TO OPERATE THE INDOOR
BLOWER CONTINUOUSLY—
Do not over-oil, or oil motors not
factory-equipped with oil tubes. The
compressor is hermetically “sealed”
and does not require lubrication.
Set the thermostat fan switch to ON (See Figure
1).The indoor blower will start immediately, and
will run continually until the fan switch is reset
to AUTO.
2. Before Calling a Service Technician, Be
Certain:
The continuous indoor blower operation can be
obtained with the thermostat system switch set
in any position, including OFF.
a. The unit thermostat is properly set—see
“To OperateYour Heat Pump for Cooling”
and “To Operate Your Heat Pump for
Heating.”
The continuous indoor blower operation is
typically used to circulate the indoor air to
equalize a temperature unbalance due to a sun
load, cooking, or fireplace operation.
b. The unit disconnect fuses are in good
condition, and the electrical power to the
unit is turned on.

circulated by the indoor blower and verify that
it is warmer than ambient temperature. Listen
for any unusual noises. If present, locate and
determine the source of the noise and correct
as necessary.
Low-PressureSwitch—Alow-pressureswitch
is factory-installed (see attached). This switch
is located in the suction line internal to the out-
door unit. The switch is designed to protect the
compressor from a loss of charge.Under normal
conditions, the switch is closed. If the suction
pressure falls below 5 psig, then the switch will
open and de-energize the outdoor unit. The
switchwillcloseagainoncethesuctionpressure
increases above 20 psig. Please note that the
switchinterruptsthethermostatinputstotheunit.
Thus, when the switch opens and then closes,
therewillbea5minuteshortcyclingdelaybefore
the outdoor unit will energize.
NOTE: Other sources for heating (i.e.: electric
furnace, fossil fuel furnace, air handler with
electric heat options, etc.) that interface with
the unit should be functionally checked to verify
system operation and compatibility. Refer to the
installation instructions for this equipment and
perform a functional checkout in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Defrost CycleTimer — The defrost cycle timer
controls the accumulated run time interval of
the hot gas defrost after the defrost sensor
closes. It is located in the upper right corner of
the defrost control board.Three interval settings
are available: 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 90
minutes.Time setting selection is dependent on
the climate where the unit is being installed.The
defaultdefrostcycletimerissetto30minutes.To
adjust the cycle time, move the jumper to cover
the two pins directly adjacent to the desired
cycle time.
Cooling — Gradually lower the thermostat
temperature setpoint below the actual room
temperature and observe that the outdoor unit
and indoor blower energize. Feel the air being
circulated by the indoor blower and verify that
it is cooler than ambient temperature. Listen
for any unusual noises. If present, locate and
determine the source of the noise and correct
as necessary.
Example 1. Dry climate of Southern
Arizona. A 90 minute setting is
recommended.
Short Cycle Protection — With the system
operating in COOLING mode, note the setpoint
temperature setting of the thermostat, and
gradually raise the setpoint temperature until
the outdoor unit and indoor blower de-energize.
Immediately lower the setpoint temperature of
the thermostat to its original setting and verify
that the indoor blower is energized and that the
outdoor unit remains de-energized. Verify that,
after approximately 5 minutes, the outdoor unit
energizes and that the temperature of the air
supplied to the facility is cooler than ambient
temperature.
Example 2. Moist climate of Seattle,
Washington. A 30 minute setting is
recommended.
High-Pressure Switch — A high-pressure
switchisfactory-installedandlocatedintheliquid
line internal to the outdoor unit. The switch is
designed to protect the system when very high
pressures occur during abnormal conditions.
Under normal conditions, the switch is closed.
If the liquid pressure rises above 425 psig, then
theswitchwillopenandde-energizetheoutdoor
unit. The switch will close again once the liquid
pressure decreases to 350 psig.Thus, when the
switch opens and then closes, there will be a 5
minute short cycling delay before the outdoor
unit will energize.
Heating — Lower the thermostat setpoint
temperature to the lowest obtainable setting and
set the thermostat function switch to HEATING.
The indoor blower and outdoor unit should stop
running.Afteraminimumoffiveminutes,increase

DEFROST CONTROL BOARD OPERATION
AND TESTING
1. Terminals “R”-”C” must have 24 V present
between them in order for the time delay and
defrost sequences to be operational.

2. Jumper the “T2”-”DFT” test pins. This will
indicate to the board that the defrost T-stat
is closed(if the compressor is running).
Defrost T-stat is closed at 32° or below and
is open at 68° or above. But it’s state is
unknown if the temperature is between 32°F
and 68°F. The defrost thermostat tells the
board whether a defrost cycle needs to be
started or terminated. With the DFT closed
the unit will run for 30/60/90 minutes in heat
mode and then defrost the outdoor coil. The
defrostwillturnofftheoutdoorfan,turnonthe
compressorandraisethecoiltemperatureto

the defrost. If the DFT does not open the
defrost will end after 10 minutes.
Speed up changes:
Manually initiating a defrost will cause the

Normal defrost operation:
To test normal defrost operation when the
temperature is above 35°F, jumper “R” to
“DFT”onthe624656boardandallowtheunit
to run for 30 minutes. Defrost will continue
until the “R” to “DFT” jumper is removed or
for 10 minutes. Remove the jumper.

1 time to 1 second by jumping the “Test” to “C”
terminal. Remove the jumper and repeat as
desired.
3. Defrost board speed-up. With compressor
running in heat mode, next jump the “Test”
pin to “C” on terminal strip. This will initiate
a defrost test in 5, 10 or 15 seconds (This
is determined by the 30, 60 or 90 minute
defrost pin settings. The factory setting will
be30minutes). Notethatthiswillbypassthe

will be bypassed when the test is terminated
by the processor. If the jumper is removed
before the test is over the processor will
perform the remainder of a normal defrost.
See step 2 above.
Note: If jumper is left on the “Test” to “common”
pins permanently, the defrost cycle will become
inoperable.
Defrost Test Procedure for 624656
1. Jumper “T2” to “DFT” at the test terminals.
2. With unit running in heat mode, short the
“TEST”terminaltothecommonterminalnear
it. This will speed up the board and cause
it to enter defrost mode in 5/10/15 seconds
depending on the defrost time selection.
Compressor delay will not function during
speed-up.
3. This test will end in 5 seconds if the “TEST”-
common short is not removed.
4. Remove both the short and the“T2”to“DFT”
jumper to terminate the defrost cycle. The
30secondcompressordelayshouldoperate
normally.
4. Remove the jumpers.
Note: The delay/no-delay pin concerns
