Jobsite Survey
Complete the following checks before installation.
1. Consult local building codes and the NEC (National Elec-
trical Code) ANSI/NFPA 70 for special installation
requirements.
2. Determine unit location (from project plans) or select unit
location.
3. Check for possible overhead obstructions which may
interfere with unit lifting or rigging.
Step 1 — Plan for Unit Location
Select a location for the unit and its support system (curb or
other) that provides for at least the minimum clearances re-
quired for safety. This includes the clearance to combustible
surfaces, unit performance and service access below, around
and above unit as specified in unit drawings. See Fig. 3.
NOTE: Consider also the effect of adjacent units.
Unit may be installed directly on wood flooring or on Class A,
B, or C roof-covering material when roof curb is used.
Do not install unit in an indoor location. Do not locate air inlets
near exhaust vents, relief valves, or other sources of contami-
nated air.
Although unit is weatherproof, avoid locations that permit wa-
ter from higher level runoff and overhangs to fall onto the unit.
Select a unit mounting system that provides adequate height to
allow installation of condensate trap per requirements. Refer to
“Step 11 — Install External Condensate Trap and Line” on
page 16 for required trap dimensions.

Fig. 5 — Unit Leveling Tolerances
Install insulation, cant strips, roofing felt, and counter flashing
as shown. Ductwork must be attached to curb and not to the
unit.
NOTE: If gas and/or electrical connections are not going to occur
at this time, tape or otherwise cover the fittings so that moisture
does not get into the building or conduit in the interim.
SLAB MOUNT (HORIZONTAL UNITS ONLY)
Provide a level concrete slab that extends a minimum of 6-in.
(150 mm) beyond unit cabinet. Install a gravel apron in front of
condenser coil air inlet to prevent grass and foliage from ob-
structing airflow.
NOTE: Horizontal units may be installed on a roof curb if
required.
ALTERNATE UNIT SUPPORT (IN LIEU OF CURB OR
SLAB MOUNT)
A non-combustible sleeper rail can be used in the unit curb
support area. If sleeper rails cannot be used, support the long
sides of the unit with a minimum of 3 equally spaced 4-in. x
4-in. (102 mm x 102 mm) pads on each side.
Step 5 — Field Fabricate Ductwork
NOTE: Cabinet return-air static pressure (a negative condition)
shall not exceed 0.35 in. wg (87 Pa) with economizer or
0.45 in. wg (112 Pa) without economizer.
For vertical ducted applications, secure all ducts to roof curb
and building structure. Do not connect ductwork to unit.
Fabricate supply ductwork so that the cross sectional dimen-
sions are equal to or greater than the unit supply duct opening
dimensions for the first 18-in. (458 mm) of duct length from
the unit basepan.
Insulate and weatherproof all external ductwork, joints, and
roof openings with counter flashing and mastic in accordance
with applicable codes.
Ducts passing through unconditioned spaces must be insulated
and covered with a vapor barrier.
If a plenum return is used on a vertical unit, the return should
be ducted through the roof deck to comply with applicable fire
codes.
Step 6 — Rig and Place Unit
When the unit is ready to be rigged and no longer will be lifted
by a fork truck, the wood protector under the basepan must be
removed. Remove 4 screws from each base rail. Wood protec-
tor will drop to the ground. See instructions on the unit base
rails.
Keep unit upright and do not drop. Spreader bars are not re-
quired. Rollers may be used to move unit across a roof. Level
by using unit frame as a reference. See Table 2 and Fig. 6 for
additional information.
Lifting holes are provided in base rails as shown in Fig. 6. Re-
fer to rigging instructions on unit.
Before setting the unit onto the curb, recheck gasketing on
curb.
IMPORTANT: If the unit’s gas connection and/or electric and
control wiring is to be routed through the basepan and the unit
is equipped with the factory-installed Thru-the-Base service
option, see the following sections:
• Factory-Option Thru-Base Connections (Gas Connec-
tion) on page 14
• Factory-Option Thru-Base Connections (Electrical Con-
nections) on page 21

Fig. 6 — Rigging Details
POSITIONING ON CURB
For full perimeter curbs CRRFCURB074A00 and 075A00, the
clearance between the roof curb and the front and rear base
rails should be 1/4-in. (6.4 mm). The clearance between the
curb and the end base rails should be 1/2-in. (13 mm). For retro-
fit applications with curbs CRRFCURB003A01 and 4A01, the
unit should be positioned as shown in Fig. 7. Maintain the
151/2-in. (394 mm) and 85/8-in. (220 mm) clearances and allow
the 225/16-in. (567 mm) dimension to float if necessary.
Fig. 7 — Retrofit Installation Dimensions
If the alternative condensate drain location through the bottom
of the unit is used in conjunction with a retrofit curb, the hole
in the curb must be moved 121/2-in. (320 mm) towards the end
of the unit. (See Fig. 8.)
Although unit is weatherproof, guard against water from higher
level runoff and overhangs.
Remove all shipping materials and top skid. Remove extra cen-
ter post from the condenser end of the unit so that the condens-
er end of the unit matches Fig. 29 and 30. Recycle or dispose of
all shipping materials.

Installation of the gas piping must be in accordance with local
building codes and with applicable national codes. In U.S.A., re-
fer to NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC).
In Canada, installation must be in accordance with the CAN/
CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2 installation codes for gas
burning appliances.
This unit is factory-equipped for use with natural gas (NG) fuel
at elevations up to 2000 ft (610 m) above sea level. Unit may be
field converted for operation at elevations above 2000 ft (610 m)
and/or for use with liquefied petroleum (LP) fuel. See accessory
kit installation instructions regarding these accessories.
NOTE: The input rating for altitudes above 2000 ft (610 m) must
be derated by 4% for each 1000 ft (305 m) above sea level.
For natural gas applications, gas pressure at unit gas connec-
tion must not be less than 5 in. wg (1250 Pa) or greater than
13 in. wg (3240 Pa) while the unit is operating (see Table 3).
For liquified petroleum (LP) applications, the gas pressure
must not be less than 11 in. wg (2740 Pa) or greater than 13 in.
wg (3240 Pa) at the unit connection (see Table 4).
The gas supply pipe enters the unit at the burner access panel
on the front side of the unit, through the long slot at the
bottom of the access panel. The gas connection to the unit is
made to the 3/4-in. FPT gas inlet port on the unit gas valve.
Manifold pressure is factory-adjusted for NG fuel use. Adjust
as required to obtain best flame characteristics. See Table 5.

Install a gas supply line that runs to the unit heating section.
Refer to the NFPA 54/NFGC or equivalent code for gas pipe
sizing data. Size the gas supply line to allow for a maximum
pressure drop of 0.5 in. wg (124 Pa) between gas regulator
source and unit gas valve connection when unit is operating at
high-fire flow rate.
The gas supply line can approach the unit in three ways: hori-
zontally from outside the unit (across the roof), thru-curb/under
unit basepan (accessory kit required) or through unit basepan
(factory-option or accessory kit required). Consult accessory
kit installation instructions for details on these installation
methods. Observe clearance to gas line components per
Fig. 19.

Fig. 22 — Gas Line Piping
Other hardware required to complete the installation of the gas
supply line will include a manual shutoff valve, a sediment trap
(drip leg) and a ground-joint union. A pressure regulator valve
may also be required (to convert gas pressure from pounds to
inches of pressure). The manual shutoff valve must be located
within 6 ft (1.83 m) of the unit. The union, located in the final
leg entering the unit, must be located at least 9-in. (230 mm)
away from the access panel to permit the panel to be removed
for service. If a regulator valve is installed, it must be located a
minimum of 4 ft (1220 mm) away from the unit’s flue outlet.
Some municipal codes require that the manual shutoff valve be
located upstream of the sediment trap. See Fig. 23 and 24 for
typical piping arrangements for gas piping that has been routed
through the sidewall of the curb. See Fig. 25 for typical piping
arrangement when thru-base is used. Ensure that all piping
does not block access to the unit’s main control box or limit the
required working space in front of the control box.
Fig. 23 — Gas Piping
Fig. 24 — Gas Piping
Fig. 25 — Gas Piping Thru-Base Connections
When installing the gas supply line, observe local codes per-
taining to gas pipe installations. Refer to the NFPA 54/ANSI
Z223.1 NFGC latest edition (in Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1).
In the absence of local building codes, adhere to the following
pertinent recommendations:
1. Avoid low spots in long runs of pipe. Grade all pipe 1/4-in.
in every 15 ft (7 mm in every 5 m) to prevent traps. Grade
all horizontal runs downward to risers. Use risers to con-
nect to heating section and to meter.
2. Protect all segments of piping system against physical and
thermal damage. Support all piping with appropriate
straps, hangers, etc. Use a minimum of one hanger every
6 ft (1.8 m). For pipe sizes larger than 1/2-in., follow rec-
ommendations of national codes.
3. Apply joint compound (pipe dope) sparingly and only to
male threads of joint when making pipe connections. Use
only pipe dope that is resistant to action of liquefied petro-
leum gases as specified by local and/or national codes. If
using PTFE (Teflon1) tape, ensure the material is Double
Density type and is labeled for use on gas lines. Apply
tape per manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Pressure-test all gas piping in accordance with local and
national plumbing and gas codes before connecting piping
to unit.

NOTE: Pressure test the gas supply system after the gas supply
piping is connected to the gas valve. The supply piping must be
disconnected from the gas valve during the testing of the piping
systems when test pressure is in excess of 0.5 psig (3450 Pa). Pres-
sure test the gas supply piping system at pressures equal to or less
than 0.5 psig (3450 Pa). The unit heating section must be isolated
from the gas piping system by closing the external main manual
shutoff valve and slightly opening the ground-joint union.
Check for gas leaks at the field-installed and factory-installed
gas lines after all piping connections have been completed. Use
soap-and-water solution (or method specified by local codes
and/or regulations).
NOTE: If orifice hole appears damaged or it is suspected to have
been re-drilled, check orifice hole with a numbered drill bit of cor-
rect size. Never re-drill an orifice. A burr-free and squarely
aligned orifice hole is essential for proper flame characteristics.
See Fig. 26.
Fig. 26 — Orifice Hole
Step 11 — Install External Condensate Trap and
Line
The unit has one 3/4-in. condensate drain connection on the end
of the condensate pan and an alternate connection on the bot-
tom. See Fig. 27. Unit airflow configuration does not deter-
mine which drain connection to use. Either drain connection
can be used with vertical or horizontal applications.
Fig. 27 — Condensate Drain Pan (Side View)
When using the standard side drain connection, ensure the red
plug in the alternate bottom connection is tight. Do this before
setting the unit in place. The red drain pan can be tightened
with a 1/2-in. square socket drive extension.
To use the alternate bottom drain connection, remove the red
drain plug from the bottom connection (use a 1/2-in. square sock-
et drive extension) and install it in the side drain connection.
The piping for the condensate drain and external trap can be
completed after the unit is in place. See Fig. 28.
All units must have an external trap for condensate drainage.
Install a trap at least 4-in. (102 mm) deep and protect against
freeze-up. If drain line is installed downstream from the exter-
nal trap, pitch the line away from the unit at 1-in. per 10 ft
(25 mm in 3 m) of run. Do not use a pipe size smaller than the
unit connection (3/4-in.).

NOTE: Field-supplied wiring shall conform with the limitations
of minimum 63°F (3°C) rise.
WARNING
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal inju-
ry, death and/or property damage.
• Connect gas pipe to unit using a backup wrench to
avoid damaging gas controls.
• Never purge a gas line into a combustion chamber.
• Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a
commercially available soap solution made specifically
for the detection of leaks to check all connections.
• Use proper length of pipe to avoid stress on gas control
manifold.

FIELD POWER SUPPLY
For those units without through-the-curb power, conduit must
be used to route the main power from the condenser end, via
the power entry in the corner post of the unit (see Fig. 29
and 30) to either the factory option disconnect or the bottom of
the control box. A 1-in. conduit is provided wrapped around
compressor. A second conduit is provided with factory-in-
stalled powered convenience outlet. For those units that require
conduit larger than 1-in., it must be field supplied. Fig. 29 and
30 show the wire routings.
If the field disconnect is larger than 100A, it must be attached
to the unit using accessory CRDISBKT001A00 — disconnect
switch bracket (see Fig. 31). Follow the instructions provided
with this accessory. For smaller field disconnects, be sure to
use 1/2-in. screws to mount the disconnect directly to the end
panel (see Fig. 32). In either case, set the disconnect vertical
location on the unit so that a 90 degree fitting can be used to
connect the conduit to the disconnect.

test purposes only; remove and discard before connecting field
power wires to unit connection points. Make field power connec-
tions directly to line connection pressure lugs only.
Fig. 33 — Disconnect Switch and Unit
ALL UNITS
All field wiring must comply with NEC and all local
requirements.
Size wire based on MCA (Minimum Circuit Amps) on the unit
informative plate. See Fig. 34 and the unit label diagram for
power wiring connections to the unit power terminal blocks
and equipment ground. Refer to Table 7 for maximum wire
size at connection lugs.
Provide a ground-fault and short-circuit over-current protection
device (fuse or breaker) per NEC Article 440 (or local codes).
Refer to unit informative data plate for MOCP (Maximum
Over-current Protection) device size.
NOTE: Units ordered with factory installed HACR do not need an
additional ground-fault and short-circuit over-current protection
device unless local codes require.
Voltage to compressor terminals during operation must be
within voltage range indicated on unit nameplate. On 3-phase
units, voltages between phases must be balanced within 2%
and the current within 10%. Use the formula below to deter-
mine the percent of voltage imbalance.
% Voltage Imbalance:
Example: Supply voltage is 230-3-60
Determine maximum deviation from average voltage.
(AB) 227-224 = 3 v
(BC) 231-227 = 4 v
(AC) 227-226 = 1 v
Maximum deviation is 4 v.
Determine percent of voltage imbalance.
This amount of phase imbalance is satisfactory as it is below the maxi-
mum allowable 2%.
NOTE: Check all factory and field electrical connections for tightness.
All units except 208/230-v units are factory wired for the volt-
age shown on the nameplate. If the 208/230-v unit is to be con-
nected to a 208-v power supply, the control transformer must
be rewired by moving the black wire with the 1/4-in. female
spade connector from the 230-v connection and moving it to
the 200-v 1/4-in. male terminal on the primary side of the trans-
former. Refer to unit label diagram for additional information.
NOTE: Check all factory and field electrical connections for
tightness.

WARNING
ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal inju-
ry or death.
Units with convenience outlet circuits may use multiple
disconnects. Check convenience outlet for power status
before opening unit for service. Locate its disconnect
switch, if appropriate, and open it. Lock-out and tag-out
this switch, if necessary.

20
Non-powered type
This type requires the field installation of a general-purpose
125-v 15-A circuit powered from a source elsewhere in the
building. Observe national and local codes when selecting wire
size and conduit requirements, fuse or breaker requirements
and disconnect switch size and location. Route 125-v power
supply conductors into the bottom of the utility box containing
the duplex receptacle.
Fig. 37 — Convenience Outlet Location
Unit-powered type
A unit-mounted transformer is factory-installed to stepdown
the main power supply voltage to the unit to 115-v at the du-
plex receptacle. This option also includes a manual switch with
fuse, located in a utility box and mounted on a bracket behind
the convenience outlet; access is through the unit’s control box
access panel. See Fig. 37.
The primary leads to the convenience outlet transformer are
not factory-connected. Selection of primary power source is a
customer option. If local codes permit, the transformer primary
leads can be connected at the line-side terminals on the unit-
mounted non-fused disconnect; this will provide service power
to the unit when the unit disconnect switch is open. Other con-
nection methods will result in the convenience outlet circuit
being de-energized when the unit disconnect switch is open.
See Fig. 39. On a unit without a unit-mounted disconnect, con-
nect the source leads to the main terminal block (TB1).
If the convenience outlet transformer is connected to the line
side of a field disconnect, the conduit provided with the unit
must be used to protect the wire as they are routed from the
transformer to the field disconnect. The end of the conduit with
the straight connector attaches to the field disconnect. The oth-
er end does not need to connect to the transformer; however,
the conduit must be routed so that all wiring is either in the
conduit or behind the access panel.
If the convenience outlet transformer is connected to the line
side of the factory disconnect option, route the wires through
the web bushing located on the bottom of the disconnect box.
For the load side wiring to the factory option disconnect, route
the wires through the hole on the right side of the disconnect.
Be sure to create a drip loop at least 6-in. long.
Test the GFCI receptacle by pressing the TEST button on the
face of the receptacle to trip and open the receptacle. Check for
proper grounding wires and power line phasing if the GFCI re-
ceptacle does not trip as required. Press the RESET button to
clear the tripped condition.
