INFORMATION
HANDLING
Care must be taken in handling the cabinet and risers and other accessories to ensure that this equipment
does not sustain any damage. It is recommended that the cabinet and risers be transported individually
on a two-wheel cart.
The protective shipping packaging should remain on the cabinet until they are ready for installation.
During construction, the unit must not be run and shall be sheltered from contaminants and debris such
as drywall dust, wood chips, and paint that could damage, which may result in diminished performance.
STORAGE
The cabinet should be stored upside down to prevent damaging the foam gaskets on the underside of the
cabinet.
Both the cabinet and risers should be stored in a non-corrosive environment sheltered from conditions of
extreme temperature or humidity. Subjecting the unit and risers to conditions of this nature may result in
significantly reduced performance, reliability, and operational life.
The unit is intended for interior use only and should be stored indoors at all times to protect it from the
elements and to help eliminate the potential growth of indoor air quality (IAQ) contaminants.
If indoor storage is not possible, the equipment may be stored outdoors during the summer months only,
if the following provisions are met:
1. The equipment must be placed on a dry surface, or raised off the ground in a manner which allows
for air-circulation beneath the unit.
2. A waterproof tarp must be used to cover the equipment in order to provide protection from the
elements.
3. Continuous ventilation to the units must be provided to help prevent moisture accumulation on
the interior and exterior surfaces. Moisture buildup on, or within the unit’s insulation may result in
microbial growth that can lead to odors and serious health-related IAQ problems.
4. The individual units shall not be stacked on top of one another.

UNIT CLEARANCE
The vertical stacked product has a sound-
dampening front cover panel. The sound-
dampening panel slides off with minimal service
clearance. However, in the event of chassis
replacement, the front service entrance must
permit straight horizontal removal of the chassis.
The return air path must be unobstructed during
operation.
The installation of all vertical stacked product and
components and accessories must be in
accordance with all local code and regulations of
all governing authorities having jurisdiction. The
manufacturer recommends the following
installation procedures.
It is the responsibility of the installing contractor
to comply with all applicable codes and
regulations. It is the responsibility of the installing
contractor to ensure adequate service clearance
for regular maintenance or for repair in place is
established. The installing contractor will be
responsible for removing the unit if it is not
serviceable in place.

shortage; file a freight claim and notify appropriate sales representative if damage is found.
NOTE: The chassis and front panel are shipped separately from the cabinet and risers.
2. Verify the correct model and voltage as indicated by the model number.
3. Verify the installation location of the unit using the sheet metal template that is provided.
4. Verify that the power supply complies with the nameplate specification.

LOCATION
1. Determine cabinet location using the optional manufacturer-supplied
template.
2. Locate core holes for risers using supplied template.
3. Locate the unit in an indoor area. The ambient temperature
surrounding the unit must not be less than 45°F (7°C). Do not
locate the unit in areas that may be subjected to freezing
temperatures.
CABINET PLACEMENT
1. Review the riser schedule to identify cabinet type and location.
2. Position the cabinet. Shim to make cabinet level, then anchor
the cabinet with concrete bolts to floor (See Figure 3). If
installing a base extension, bolt the extension to the concrete
floor (See Figure 5).
3. The riser knockout to be left exposed for riser installation.

RISER BUNDLE INSTALLATION
1. The supply and return risers are standard type “M”
copper. Type “L” copper is optional. The condensate
riser is type “M” copper.
2. Risers are factory swaged expanded top end to accept
risers from the unit above and to minimize field brazing.
The factory will also pre-install service isolation ball
valves on the supply and return risers.
3. The risers are pre-bundled with a metal channel for slip
fit connection to the left or right side of the cabinet as
indicated on the construction drawings. The copper
risers need to be isolated from the metal channel and
cabinet with neoprene isolation to prevent metal-to-
metal contact with housing.
4. Match unit location with riser bundle nomenclature as
indicated by the manufacturer supplied riser schedule,
and the label affixed to the riser bundle.
5. Refer to Figure 7 (page 6) for positioning of risers
pertaining to floor-to-floor installment. The riser
diameter shall be as shown on plans. Riser length and
schedule shall be coordinated with the mechanical
contractor.
6. Hang the riser bundle slip fit connection onto the
riser knockout on the cabinet. See Figure 5.
7. Align and insert riser into swage top end of the
risers below. Do not scrape or dent the risers
during positioning. The risers bottom ends
should slide approximately 2” of the 3” swage
top ends. This will allow for the floor to floor
variations and prevent the riser joints from
bottoming out.
8. Expansion allowance is not needed as the difference
between the summer to winter temperature change is
minimal.
9. Braze riser joints with Sil-Fos or 95/5 tin-antimony
solder. Perform a system leak test.
10. A fire stop may be required for the riser openings in
the floors. Consult local fire codes for dictation on
appropriate requirements.
11. Refer to the consulting engineers instructions
for riser anchoring requirements.

ELECTRICAL WIRING
Main Wiring
Electrical connections are made to the cabinet. Cabinets have
knockouts for a standard single gang electrical box. Receptacle may
be included with unit. Box must not protrude into cabinet more
than ½” or it will interfere with the chassis installation or removal.
Refer to Guide Specs for further wiring instructions.
DRYWALLING
1. Attach drywall to front of unit to ensure the
proper fit of acoustic panel as shown in figure
11.
2. Glue or attach drywall with screws to the front
of cabinet
3. It is permissible to glue or screw drywall
directly to the side of the cabinet as long as
the riser bundle is not on that side. Please
note that the drywall screw must not be
longer than the drywall thickness plus a
maximum of 3/8”.
4. Use studs to frame in the riser side of the
cabinet where necessary. Keep screws away
from the riser pipes.
5. Mount thermostat and connect to thermostat
wire. Ensure that the thermostat is not
mounted in direct sunlight, or within the
supply airstream of the heat pump unit.
6. Wire thermostat to control board.
7. Connect power cord at cabinet electrical box.
