INTRODUCTION
The 48XL packaged unit is a fully self-contained combination
Category I gas heating/electric air conditioner designed for outdoor
installation (See Fig, 1), Standard units are shipped in a
horizontal-discharge
configuration for installation on a
ground-level slab or directly on the ground if local codes permit.
Standard units can be converted to downflow (vertical) discharge
configurations for rooftop applications.
Models with an N in the fifth position of the model number are
dedicated Low NOx units designed for California installations.
These models meet the California maximum oxides of nitrogen
(NOx) emissions requirements of 40 nanograms/joule or less as
shipped from the factory and must be installed in California Air
Quality Management Districts or any other regions in North
America where a Low NOx rule exists.
NOTE: Low NOx requirements apply only to natural gas
installations,
RECEIVING AND INSTALLATION
Check Equipment
IDENTIFY UNIT
The unit model number and serial number are printed on the unit
informative plate. Check this information against shipping papers,
INSPECT SHIPMENT
Inspect for shipping damage while unit is still on shipping pallet. If
unit appears to be damaged or is torn loose from its anchorage,
have it examined by transportation inspectors before removal.
Forward claim papers directly to transportation company.

ROOF CURB
Install accessory roof curb in accordance with instructions shipped
with curb (See Fig, 4), Install insulation, cant strips, roofing, and
flashing. Ductwork must be attached to curb,
IMPORTANT: The gasketing of the unit to the roof curb is
critical for a water tight seal. Install gasketing material supplied
with the roof curb. Improperly applied gasketing also can result in
air leaks and poor unit performance.
Curb should be level to within f/4 in, (6,33 m) (See Fig, 2), This is
necessary for unit drain to function properly. Refer to accessory
roof curb installation instructions for additional information as
required.
Fig. 2 - Unit Leveling Tolerances
SLAB MOUNT
Place the unit on a solid, level concrete pad that is a minimum of 4
in, (102 mm) thick with 2 in, (31 mm) above grade. The slab
should extend approximately 2 in, (31 mm) beyond the casing on
all 4 sides of the unit (See Fig, 3), Do not secure the unit to the slab
except when required by local codes.
