ments pertaining to the installation of
this equipment.
These units are designed to be
installed in either an upflow, downflow
or horizontal position.
All fan coil units are U.L. listed for
installation with zero inches clear-
ance to combustible materials. This
includes the unit cabinet, discharge
plenum and connecting ducts. Suffi-
cient clearance must be provided at
the front of the unit to allow access to
limit the unit to installation only in a
single story residence. In many
cases it is acceptable to use ducting
of the same size as the fan coil
connections. However, unique ar-
rangements or long duct runs must be
confirmed by a local professional.
The manufacturer will not be respon-
sible for misapplied equipment.
E LECTRICAL
All wiring must comply with local
and national code requirements.
Units are provided with wiring dia-
grams and nameplate data to provide
information required for necessary
field wiring. Knockouts are provided
on each side of the cabinet for con-
nection of power supply.
These units may be provided with a
Class 2 transformer for 24-volt control
circuits. Should any add-on equip-
ment also have a Class 2 transformer
furnished, care must be taken to pre-
vent interconnecting outputs of the
two transformers by using a thermo-
stat with isolating contacts.

Any devices such as fan
switches or thermostats that
have been furnished by the
factory for field installation
must be wired in strict accor-
dance with the wiring diagram
that is supplied with the unit.
Failure to do so could result
in damage to components
and will void all warranties.
