About Rigging and Installation
The BAC equipment should be rigged and installed as outlined in this bulletin.
These procedures should be thoroughly reviewed prior to the rigging and operation to acquaint all personnel with
the procedures to be followed and to assure that all necessary equipment will be available at the jobsite.
Be sure to have a copy of the unit certified drawing available for reference. If you do not have a copy of this drawing
or if you need additional information about this unit, contact the local BAC Balticare representative. His name and
phone number can be found on the BAC website: www.BaltimoreAircoil.eu. The model type and serial number of
your equipment are indicated on the unit nameplate.

Notes
1. Water Treatment and auxiliary equipment integrated in the cooling system may require additions to the table
above. Contact suppliers for recommended actions and their required frequency.
2. Recommended service intervals are for typical installations. Different environmental conditions may dictate
more frequent servicing.
3. When operating in ambient temperatures below freezing, the unit should be inspected more frequently (see
Cold Weather Operations in the appropriate Operating and Maintenance Instructions).
4. For units with Belt Drive, tension on new belts must be readjusted after the first 24 hours of operation and
monthly thereafter.

GENERAL INFORMATION
About Engineering and Application Practices
This bulletin only refers to the assembly of the unit. To ensure a proper operation, a correct integration of the unit in
the overall installation is mandatory. For good engineering and application practices on layout, levelling,
connecting pipework, etc., please refer to our website:
http://www.baltimoreaircoil.eu/knowledge-center/application-information.
Shipping
BAC cooling equipment is factory assembled to assure uniform quality and minimum field assembly.
The unit models S3E/XES3E-1222-10x through S3E/XES3E-1424-14x are shipped in 2 sections (upper and lower)
due to shipping height restrictions.
For the dimensions and weights of a specific unit or section, refer to the certified drawing.
Caution
DO NOT COVER UNITS WITH PVC ELIMINATORS OR FILL WITH A PLASTIC TARPAULIN.
TEMPERATURE INCREASE DUE TO SUN RADIATION COULD DEFORM THE FILL OR
ELIMINATORS.
Inspection Before Rigging
