JRT Series Heat Pumps
The heat pump will produce condensation (water) while
in operation. The heat pump base is designed to allow
the condensation to exit through the bottom drain port
when the unit is running. The condensation will increase
as the outdoor air humidity level increases. Check
the following at regular intervals to ensure proper
condensate drainage:
1.
Visually inspect and clear the bottom drain ports
of any debris that could clog the ports.
2.
Ensure that condensate water does not puddle
inside the heat pump
3.
Ensure that condensate run-off is properly directed
away from the equipment pad to keep it from
undermining the pad.
During normal operation, the heat pump produces
3 to 5 gallons of condensate per hour. If condensate
drainage is above this range during operation or if water
continues to drain from the base when the heat pump
is not in operation for more than an hour, a leak in the
internal plumbing may have occurred. Call a qualified
heat pump technician to investigate the problem.
Keep the top air flow discharge and air flow intake area
clear of debris so the air flow though the heat pump
is not restricted. The cooler discharge air from the top
should not accumulate and be drawn into the side air
intake coils. Keep all plants and shrubs trimmed away
from the heat pump.
Make sure the front of the unit is accessible for future
service.
Keep lawn sprinkler heads from spraying on the heat
pump to prevent corrosion and damage. Use a deflector
if needed.
If the unit is installed under a very sharp roof pitch or
under a roof without a gutter, a gutter or diverter should
be fitted to prevent excessive water from pouring down
into the unit.
Professional Inspection
Inspections performed at least once a year by a qualified
technician are required to maintain your heat pump's
safe and efficient operation. The following basic safety
checks must be performed.
1
Check for loose or broken wires and terminal
connections.
2.
Verify the pressure switch or flow switch
operation. Turn the heat pump OFF. Disconnect
the power to the pump time clock, or turn the
pump time clock to an OFF position. Turn the heat
pump back ON. The heat pump must not come on.
3.
Inspect the electrical controls, specifically the
following:
a. High and Low Limits
b. Pressure Switch or Flow Switch
c. Temperature Control

4.
Inspect the evaporator coil for blockage and clean
as necessary.
5.
Check for spider webs or debris in the condensate
drain; clean if necessary.
6.
Conduct a normal operating cycle and observe that
the unit operates properly.
