INTRODUCTION
Models 48GH/GL Packaged Gas/Electric Units
are fully self-contained, combination gas-heating/
electric-cooling units designed for outdoor installa
tion either on a rooftop or ground-level slab. See
Fig. 1.
These units are equipped with an energy-saving
automatic intermittent electric spark ignition system
that does not have a continuously-burning pilot.
Also included is the Time Guard II circuit for added
compressor protection. All units are manufactured
with natural gas controls.
Models 48GH/GL are AG A design-certified with
2 input ratings. See Table 1. All units are manu
factured for operation at the minimum rating. For
operation at the maximum ratings, optional burner
orifices must be field installed. See Table 3.
These units are factory charged with R-22 refrig
erant. To install: connect gas supply, air ducts, high-
and low-voltage wiring, condensate drain, and
install a field-supplied air filter in the return-air
ductwork.
All units can be connected into existing duct
systems that are properly sized and designed to
handle an airflow of 350 to 450 cfm per each 12,000
Btuh of rated cooling capacity. See Tables 1 and 4
for cooling and heating airflow requirements.
NOTE: When installing any accessory item, see
Installation Instructions packaged with the
