"Heat Pump" chiller in eQuest

I would like to simualte a heat pump chiller using eQuest. It is air-cooled, serves a chilled water loop.

For the chiller type, I chose "Heat Pump" in detailed mode. However, I cannot choose "air-cooled" in the Condenser Type. When I click "air-cooled", there is a "incompatible type" warning, and I cannot choose "water-cooled" either. Also, eQuest asks me to input Condenser Water Loop, but the chiller is air-cooled.

Anyone knows how to set up "Heat Pump" chiller correctly? Thanks.
