Johnson Controls Unitary Products 7
Condenser Motors
• Totally enclosed, air over cooled.
• Inherent overload protection.
• Permanently lubricated bearings.
• Must cycle to allow cooling operation down to 40°F.
Refrigerant Piping
• Solid core filter-drier(s) ship loose for field installation.
• Liquid and suction line service valves with gauge ports.
• Suction and discharge line service ports accessible 
from unit. Ports capped for leak prevention.
• Liquid line magnetic check valves
• Holding charge of R410A refrigerant.
Electrical Requirements
• Single-point connection electrical power.
• Nominal unit electrical characteristics shall be _____ v, 
3-ph, 60 Hz. The unit shall be capable of satisfactory 
operation within voltage limits of ____ v to _____ v.
• Condenser fan motors and secondary of transformers 
shall be grounded.
Unit Controls
• All 24-volt control circuit, powered by a 24 volt 
transformer(s) and protected by a resettable breaker.
• Conventional thermostat must provide operation for 
both condensing units and heat pumps without an “O” 
output from the thermostat.
• Low voltage terminal strip for simple hook-up.
• Compressor motor protection shuts down unit for motor 
over-current, over-temperature or low voltage 
conditions.
• Safety lockouts provide reset capability at the space 
thermostat or base unit should any of the following 
standard safety devices trip and shut off compressor:
a. Loss-of-charge/Low-pressure switch.
b. High-pressure switch.
c. Control board diagnostics and fault code display.
d. Safety lockouts send a 24 volt signal to the control
board's "X" terminal, allowing notification to the user
via the thermostat fault light (if present).
e. Control board shall retain last 5 fault codes in non-
volatile memory, which will not be lost in the event of a
power loss. An LED (light-emitting diode) indicator
flashes a fault code that indicates which safety switch
has tripped.
Non-fused Disconnect Switch
• Factory-installed, internally mounted.
• Accessible from outside the unit.
• NEC and UL approved non-fused switch.
• Provides power off lockout capability.
Convenience Outlet
• Factory-installed, internally mounted.
• Accessible from outside the unit.
• 115V, 15 amp GFI receptacle with independent fuse 
protection.
• Required voltage provided by factory-installed step-
down transformer or field supplied 115v circuit.
Low-ambient Head Pressure Control
• Standard operation down to 40 °F without a low 
ambient kit.
• Operation down to 0°F with a field-installed low ambient 
kit accessory. The controller modulates the fan motor 
speed in response to liquid line temperature or 
pressure.
Coil Guard
Factory or field installed decorative grille shall be placed on 
the units to protect condenser coil after installation.
Hail Guard Package
Field installed hail guard package shall protect coils against 
damage from hail and other flying debris. 
Coated Condenser Coils
Special phenolic or epoxy polymer coating available as a 
factory option on both outdoor and indoor coils.
Each Unit Shall Be:
• Covered by a 1-year limited parts warranty on the 
complete unit and 5-year on compressor(s).
• In current production with published literature available 
to check performance, limitations, specifications, power 
requirements, dimensions, operation and appearance.
• Indoor unit shall be equipped with a V-belt drive option 
that will permit the blower RPM to be adjusted to meet 
the CFM requirements of the air delivery system. (Refer
