Condensate Piping for Vertical Units - A condensate

line must be installed and pitched away from the unit to
allow for proper drainage. This connection must meet
all local plumbing/building codes. Vertical units utilize
a condensate hose inside the cabinet as a trapping
loop; therefore an external trap is not necessary. Figure
10a shows typical condensate connections. Figure 10b
illustrates the internal trap for a typical vertical heat
pump. Each unit must be installed with its own individual
vent (where necessary) and a means to flush or blow
out the condensate drain line. Do not install units with a
common trap and/or vent.

the control will lockout with code 9 after 30 seconds if:
a. The compressor is on in the cooling mode and the LT1

Diagnostic Features
The LED on the CXM board advises the technician of the
current status of the CXM control. The LED can display
either the current CXM mode or the last fault in memory
if in test mode. If there is no fault in memory, the LED will

flash Code 1. The yellow test LED will turn on when in
test mode. CAUTION: Do not restart units without
inspection and remedy of faulting condition. Damage

Unit Starting and Operating Conditions

Operating Limits
Environment – Units are designed for indoor installation only. Never install units in areas subject to freezing or where
humidity levels could cause cabinet condensation (such as unconditioned spaces subject to 100% outside air).

Power Supply – A voltage variation of +/– 10% of nameplate utilization voltage is acceptable.

Determination of operating limits is dependent primarily upon three factors: 1) return air temperature. 2) water
temperature, and 3) ambient temperature. When any one of these factors is at minimum or maximum levels, the
other two factors should be at normal levels to ensure proper unit operation. Extreme variations in temperature and
humidity and/or corrosive water or air will adversely affect unit performance, reliability, and service life. Consult Table
7 for operating limits.

9. Test the system pH with litmus paper. The system
water should be in the range of pH 6.0 - 8.5 (see
table 3). Add chemicals, as appropriate to maintain
neutral pH levels.
10. When the system is successfully cleaned, flushed,
refilled and bled, check the main system panels,
safety cutouts and alarms. Set the controls to
properly maintain loop temperatures.

the formula is as follows: HR (kW) = TD x l/s x 4.18.
f. Check air temperature drop across the air coil when
compressor is operating. Air temperature drop
should be between 15°F and 25°F [8°C and 14°C].
g. Turn thermostat to “OFF” position. A hissing noise
indicates proper functioning of the reversing valve.

Exercise caution when working with energized equipment.

CAUTION!
LT1 CAUTION! Verify that ALL water control valves are open and
LT2 allow water flow prior to engaging the compressor. Freezing
of the coax or water lines can permanently damage the heat
pump.

which are not supplied under warranty, for nintey (90) days from date of shipment (from factory). All parts must be returned to CM’s factory in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, freight prepaid, no later than sixty (60) days after
the date of the failure of the part; if CM determines the part to be defective and within CM’s Limited Express Warranty, CM shall, when such part has been either replaced or repaired, return such to a factory recognized dealer,
contractor or service organization, F.O.B. CM’s factory, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, freight prepaid. The warranty on any parts repaired or replaced under warranty expires at the end of the original warranty period.

This warranty does not cover and does not apply to: (1) Air Àlters, fuses, refrigerant, Áuids, oil; (2) Products relocated after initial installation; (3) Any portion or component of any system that is not supplied by CM, regardless

which have defects or damage which result from improper installation, wiring, electrical imbalance characteristics or maintenance; or are caused by accident, misuse or abuse, Àre, Áood, alteration or misapplication of the prod-
uct; (7) Products which have defects or damage which result from a contaminated or corrosive air or liquid supply, operation at abnormal temperatures, or unauthorized opening of refrigerant circuit; (8) Mold, fungus or bacteria
damages; (9) Products subjected to corrosion or abrasion; (10) Products manufactured or supplied by others; (11) Products which have been subjected to misuse, negligence or accidents; (12) Products which have been operated

ten or contained in any sales literature, catalog, this or any other agreement or other materials, are not express warranties and do not form a part of the basis of the bargain, but are merely CM’s opinion or commendation of CM’s products. EXCEPT AS
SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH HEREIN AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CM MAKES NO WARRANTY AS TO ANY OF CM’S PRODUCTS, AND CM MAKES NO WARRANTY AGAINST
LATENT DEFECTS OR ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OF THE GOODS OR OF THE FITNESS OF THE GOODS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

not supplied under warranty, for ninety (90) days from date of shipment (from factory).

Warranty parts shall be furnished by CM if ordered through an authorized sales representative of CM (“Representative”) within sixty (60) days after the failure of the part. If CM determines that a parts order qualifies for replacement under CM’s
warranty, such parts shall be shipped freight prepaid to the Representative or the ultimate user, as requested by Representative. All duties, taxes and other fees shall be paid by the ultimate user through the Representative.

If requested by CM, all defective parts shall be returned to CM’s factory in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, U.S.A, freight and duty prepaid, not later than sixty (60) days after the date of the request. If the defective part is not timely returned or if CM

application, installation, or use of CM’s products; or (14) Electricity or fuel costs, or any increases or unrealized savings in same, for any reason.

CM is not responsible for: (1) The cost of any fluids, refrigerant or other system components, or the associated labor to repair or replace the same, which is incurred as a result of a defective part covered by CM’s Limited Express Warranty; (2) The cost
of labor, refrigerant, materials or service incurred in diagnosis and removal of the defective part, or in obtaining and replacing the new or repaired part; (3) Transportation costs of the defective part from the installation site to CM or of the return of any
part not covered by CM’s Limited Express Warranty; or (4) The costs of normal maintenance.

Limitation: This Limited Express Warranty is given in lieu of all other warranties. If, notwithstanding the disclaimers contained herein, it is determined by a court or other qualified judicial body that other warranties exist, any such warranty, including
without limitation any express warranty or any implied warranty of fitness for particular purpose and merchantability, shall be limited to the duration of the Limited Express Warranty. This Limited Express Warranty does not exclude any warranty that is
mandatory and that may not be excluded under applicable imperative law.

change for the part or unit which has failed. If after written notice to CM’s factory in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, U.S.A. of each defect, malfunction or other failure and a reasonable number of attempts by CM to correct the defect, malfunction or other
failure and the remedy fails of its essential purpose, CM shall refund the purchase price paid to CM in exchange for the return of the sold good(s). Said refund shall be the maximum liability of CM. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
