UNIT CABINET
Unit cabinet shall be constructed of galvanized steel with 
exterior surfaces coated with a non-chalking, powder paint 
finish, certified at 1000 hour salt spray test per ASTM-B117 
standards. Indoor blower sections shall be insulated with up to 
1” thick insulation coated on the airside. Aluminum foil faced 
insulation shall be used in the unit’s compartments and be 
fastened to prevent insulation from entering the air stream. 
Cabinet doors shall be hinged with toolless access for easy 
servicing and maintenance. Full perimeter base rails shall be 
provided to assure reliable transit of equipment, overhead 
rigging, fork truck access and proper sealing on roof curb 
applications. Disposable 2” filters shall be furnished as standard 
and be accessible through hinged access door. Fan 
performance measuring ports shall be provided on the outside 
of the cabinet to allow accurate air measurements of evaporator 
fan performance without removing panels or creating bypass of 
the coils. Condensate pan shall be slide out design, constructed 
of a non corrosive material, internally sloped and conforming to 
ASHRAE 62-B9 standards. Condensate connection shall be a 
minimum of ¾” I.D. female and be rigid mount connection.
INDOOR (EVAPORATOR) FAN ASSEMBLY
Fan shall be a belt drive assembly and include an adjustable 
pitch motor pulley. Job site selected brake horsepower shall not 
exceed the motors nameplate horsepower rating plus the ser-
vice factor. Units shall be designed to operate within the service 
factor. Fan wheel shall be double inlet type with forward curve 
blades, dynamically balanced to operate smoothly throughout 
the entire range of operation. Airflow design shall be constant 
volume. Bearings shall be sealed and permanently lubricated 
for longer life and no maintenance. Entire blower assembly and 
motor shall be slide out design.
OUTDOOR (CONDENSER) FAN ASSEMBLY
The outdoor fans shall be of the direct drive type, discharge air 
vertically, have aluminum blades riveted to corrosion resistant 
steel spider brackets and shall be dynamically balanced for 
smooth operation. The outdoor fan motors shall have permanently 
lubricated bearings internally protected against overload 
conditions and staged independently. A cleaning window shall be 
provided on two sides of the units for coil cleaning.
REFRIGERANT COMPONENTS
Compressors:
a. Shall be fully hermetic type, direct drive, internally
protected with internal high-pressure relief and over 
temperature protection. The hermetic motor shall be 
suction gas cooled and have a voltage range of + or – 
10% of the unit nameplate voltage.
b. Shall have internal spring isolation and sound muffling to
minimize vibration and noise, and be externally isolated 
on a dedicated, independent mounting.
Coils:
a. Evaporator coils shall have aluminum plate fins
mechanically bonded to seamless internally enhanced
copper tubes with all joints brazed. Special Phenolic 
coating shall be available as a factory option.
b. Evaporator coils shall be of the direct expansion, draw-
thru design.
c. Condenser coils shall have aluminum plate fins
mechanically bonded to seamless internally enhanced 
copper tubes with all joints brazed or Micro-Channel 
aluminum tube, aluminum fins.
d. Condenser coils shall be of the direct expansion, draw-
thru design.
Refrigerant Circuit and Refrigerant Safety Components shall 
include:
a. Independent fixed-orifice or thermally operated
expansion devices.
b. Solid core filter drier/strainer to eliminate any moisture or
foreign matter.
c. Accessible service gage connections on both suction
and discharge lines to charge, evacuate, and measure 
refrigerant pressure during any necessary servicing or 
troubleshooting, without losing charge.
d. The 6-1/2 through 12-1/2 ton unit shall have two
independent refrigerant circuits, equally split in 50% 
capacity increments.
Unit Controls:
a. Unit shall be complete with self-contained low-voltage
control circuit protected by a resettable circuit breaker on 
the 24-volt transformer side.
b. Unit shall incorporate a lockout circuit which provides
reset capability at the space thermostat or base unit 
should any of the following standard safety devices trip 
and shut off compressor:
c. Loss-of-charge/Low-pressure switch.
• High-pressure switch.
• Freeze-protection thermostat, evaporator coil. If any of
the above safety devices trip, an LED (light-emitting 
diode) indicator shall flash a diagnostic code that 
indicates which safety switch has tripped.
d. Unit shall incorporate “AUTO RESET” compressor over
temperature, over current protection.
e. Unit shall operate with conventional thermostat designs
and have a low voltage terminal strip for easy hook-up.
f. Unit control board shall have on-board diagnostics and
fault code display.
g. Standard controls shall include anti-short cycle and low
voltage protection, and permit cooling operation down to 
0 ºF.
h. Control board shall monitor each refrigerant safety switch
independently.
i. Control board shall retain last 5 fault codes in non-
volatile memory, which will not be lost in the event of a 
power loss.
