ECONOMIZER AND FIXED OUTDOOR AIR
DAMPER — Hoods are used on all units with economizer or
adjustable self-closing fixed outdoor air damper.
NOTE: If accessory power exhaust or barometric relief pack-
ages are being added to the unit, install power exhaust or baro-
metric relief before installing economizer hoods.
Economizer Hood Assembly — The economizer hood is
shipped in a package secured to the outside of the unit. The
hood assemblies must be field-assembled. The 48AW,AY units
are side supply and side return. The return duct limits access to
economizer filters from below.
The 48AJ,AK,AW,AY020-050 units have two hoods on ev-
ery unit. The 48AJ,AK,AW,AY051 and 060 units have 3 hoods
on every unit.
NOTE: Before assembly of the economizer hood, check along
the outer edges of the economizer assembly for any seal strip
protruding past the flanges. Trim the excess seal strip so that it
is flush with the economizer assembly flanges.
Perform the following procedure to assemble the economizer
hood.
1. Apply black seal strip (provided) to outside top-edge of
hood sides. Wrap seal strip over edge to cover top flange
