The Ruud Ultra Series™ High
Efficiency Two-Stage UPRL-JEC Heat Pump can provide year-round heating
and cooling comfort. The Rheem RHPL air-handler, equipped with auxiliary
heating elements for supplementary heat was designed especially for use
with the Prestige Series™ heat pump. Together they deliver 3
stages of heat and 2 stages of cooling for precise temperature control
and optimal energy efficiency.
These units offer comfort, energy conservation and dependability for
single, multi-family and light commercial applications. The Ruud Ultra Series™ Two-Stage UPRL- JEC heat pumps are the result of an ongoing development program
for improved efficiencies and a continued tradition of delivering the
highest quality and efficiency. These
units also contain the most advanced alternate refrigerant which
contains no chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), or hydro-chlorofluorocarbons
(HCFCs), or other compounds that may leak from air conditioning systems
and potentially harm the protective ozone layer of the Earth’s
atmosphere.
Additional Benefits
The Comfort Control2 System™
The Comfort Control2 System™ provides
over 37 on-board diagnostics and fault history codes for condensing
units by detecting system and electrical problems. The integrated
diagnostics with Active Protection™
prevents compressor operation when potentially harmful conditions are
detected. It sends “Call for Service” alert notification to the
thermostat to alert you of required service.
Serial Communication Enhanced
When installed with a
Serial Communicating Air Handler and user interface control Series 500
thermostat this unit offers auto-configuration, diagnostic messaging and
full communicating capability, to increase your home comfort even
further.
Legacy Enabled
Unit can be conventionally
wired using 24VAC with non-communicating Ruud Ultra air-handlers or
furnaces with non-communicating thermostat. If you prefer to keep your
old thermostat, in most cases, this heat pump will allow you to do so.
Operation
A compressor sound blanket
is standard to provide your unit with quieter unit operation. Units are
equipped with a reliable Two-Stage compressor for precise temperature
control with an On-Demand dehumidification feature. When matched with
variable speed gas furnace or air-handler, the system adjusts airflow to
help control humidity for unsurpassed comfort in the cooling mode.
Low Profile
The industries lowest
profile design at just 33 inch [864mm] maximum height makes the unit
less noticeable in your yard and is easily installed leaving room for
optional equipment and optimal access for maintenance.
Cabinet and Design
Attractive, louvered
wrap-around jacket protects the coil from yard hazards and weather
extremes. Top grille is steel reinforced for extra strength. Cabinet is
powder painted for all weather protection. The units are constructed with painted galvanized steel cabinets for added reliability and durability. All
controls are accessible by removing one service panel. Removable top
grille provides access to the condenser fan motor and condenser coil, for an easier time with serviceability.
Durability
All models meet or exceed a
1000-hour salt spray test per ASTM B117 Standard Practice for Operating
Salt Spray Testing Apparatus, to ensure they can withstand tough
weather conditions.
