• Duct work should be attached directly to the unit flanges

for horizontal applications.

• If roof curb is installed, the ducts must be attached to

the curb hangers, not the unit.

Unconditioned Spaces

All duct work passing through unconditioned space must

be properly insulated to minimize duct losses and prevent

condensation. Use insulation with an outer vapor barrier.

Refer to local codes for insulation material requirements.

Acoustical Duct Work

Certain installations may require the use of acoustical

lining inside the supply duct work.

• Acoustical insulation must be in accordance with the

current revision of the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning

Contractors National Association (SMACNA) application

standard for duct liners.

• Duct lining must be UL classified batts or blankets with

a fire hazard classification of FHC-25/50 or less.

• Fiber duct work may be used in place of internal duct

liners if the fiber duct work is in accordance with the

current revision of the SMACNA construction standard

on fibrous glass ducts. Fibrous duct work and internal

acoustical lining must be NFPA Class 1 air ducts when
tested per UL Standard 181 for Class 1 ducts.

air Filter requirements

Warning:

never operate the unit without a filter in place.

dust and lint could accumulate on internal parts,

resulting in loss of efficiency, equipment damage

and possible fire. replace disposable filters with

the same type and size.

• Air filter(s) are not supplied and must be installed in

the unit or in the return air system by the installer. Only

three phase units are equipped with an internal filter

rack assembly.

• If using an economizer or fresh air equipment, the factory

installed filter rack must be removed prior to installation.
See

page 6

for removal instructions.

• All return air must pass through the filters before entering

the unit. Recommended filter sizes are listed in

Table 1

.

note: It is important that all filters be kept clean and

replaced frequently to ensure proper operation of unit.

Dirty or clogged filters will reduce the efficiency of the

unit and result in unit shutdowns.

• Air filter pressure drop must not exceed 0.08 inches

WC. When replacing the air filters, a suitable air filter

must be installed upstream of the evaporator coil of the

return air system.

• Downflow Installations require an internal filter accessory

kit to be installed.

• Horizontal Installations require the air filter system be

installed in the return air ductwork.

Packaging removal

Remove the shipping carton and User’s Manual from

the equipment. Take care not to damage the tubing

connections when removing the carton. For rooftop

installations, remove and discard the two supports attached

beneath the unit.

rigging and Hoisting

Warning:

to avoid the risk of property damage, personal

injury, or death, it is the rigger’s responsibility

to ensure that whatever means are used to hoist

the unit are safe and adequate:
• The lifting equipment must be adequate for the

load. refer to

table 5, (page 9)

for unit weights.

• The unit must be lifted from the holes in the

base rails using cables or chains.

• Spreader bars are required to protect the unit

and ensure even loading.

• Keep the unit in an upright position at all times.

the rigging must be located outside the units

center of gravity. refer to

Figure 9, (page 14)

for

locating the center of gravity.

• All panels must be securely in place during

rigging and hoisting.

ground level

Ground level installations must be located according to

local building codes or ordinances and these requirements:

• Clearances must be in accordance with those shown

in

Figure 1, (page 4)

.

• A suitable mounting pad must be provided and separate

from the building foundation. The pad must be level to

ensure proper condensate disposal and strong enough

to support the unit’s weight. The slab height must be a

minimum of 2” (5cm) above grade and with adequate

drainage. See

Figure 2, (page 6)

.

• Allow sufficient clearances for access to the internal

filter rack.

rooftop

Rooftop installations must be located according to local

building codes or ordinances and these requirements:

• The roof must be capable of handling the weight of the

unit. For unit weights, see

Table 5, (page 9)

. Reinforce

the roof if necessary.
