INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Before installing this appliance insure that it is properly sized and adequate power is available.
This appliance can be installed in the vertical or right horizontal position without modification.
The horizontal left and downflow positions require product modification.
This product is designed for zero inch (0") clearance; however, adequate access for service or
replacement must be considered without removing permanent structure. This unit can be
installed on a platform when deemed necessary.
In an attic installation a secondary drain pan must be provided by the installer and placed
under the entire unit with a separate drain line properly sloped and terminated in an area
visible to the owner. This secondary drain pan is required in the event that there is a leak or
main drain blockage. Closed cell insulation should be applied to the drain lines in unconditioned
spaces where sweating may occur.
Appliances installed in garages, warehouses or other areas where they may be subjected to
mechanical damage must be suitably guarded against such damage by installing behind
protective barriers, being elevated or located out of the normal path of vehicles. When
installed on a base, the base must also be protected by similar means.
Heating and cooling equipment located in garages, which may generate a glow, spark or flame
capable of igniting flammable vapors, must be installed with the ignition source at least 18"
above the floor level.

REFRIGERANT TUBING
CONDENSATE REMOVAL
Refrigerant tubing should be installed as to avoid undue stress. They must be supported or
routed to avoid strain or vibration. To avoid damage that can be caused by condensate,
insulate the suction tube with a closed cell insulation with the seams sealed. The insulation
should terminate at the tubing entrance to the air handler. Do not reduce the recommended
tubing size.
THIS APPLIANCE EMPLOYS A DRAW-THROUGH COIL, THEREFORE A
TRAP MUST BE INSTALLED IN THE DRAIN LINE(S) TO ALLOW FOR
PROPER CONDENSATE DISPOSAL.
The condensate trap must not be the "running" type, or "R" type. A "P " trap is required.
The total workable height of this trap, in inches, must exceed the total negative pressure,
in inches of water, as measured in the return duct.
The condensate drain line must be at least 3/4 NPT, for each unit. Precautions must be
used not to over tighten the adapter at the drain pan connection, this precaution will
prevent damage to the plastic drain pan. A joint compound should be used to prevent
leakage and act as a lubricant.
When using copper tubing as a condensate line adequate caution muat be taken to prevent
damage to the plastic drain pan during the soldering process. All condensate drain lines
and drain traps should be adequately insulated.
The unit and the auxiliary drain pan must be adequately elevated to insure proper drainage.
Use of a condensate removal pump is permitted when necessary.This condensate pump
should have provisions for shutting off the control voltage should a blocked drain occur. A
trap must be installed between the unit and the condensate pump. Important: The evaporator
coil is coated with oils that will dissolve Styrofoam and certain types of plastics. Therefore
a removal pump or float switch must not contain any of these materials.
NOTE: AFTER INSTALLATION AND POSITIONING THE UNIT , THE DRAIN
PAN BEING USED SHOULD BE TESTED BY FILLING IT WITH WATER TO
ENSURE PROPER DRAINAGE AND CHECK FOR LEAKS.

CIRCULATING AIR DUCT
Air duct systems should be designed and installed as per local and/or national code.Refer
to NFPA 90A & 90B and the National Environmental Systems Contractors Association -
Manual "K".
The use of flexible duct connectors is recommended to minimize the possibility of noise
transmission. These connectors must conform to U.L. standards.
Supply air ducts must be insulated and return ducts must be insulated when passing
through an unconditioned space. When passing through an unconditoned space it may be
necessary to install a vapor barrier to the exterior of the ducts to prevent condensation.
Seams of all supply ducts must be sealed to prevent leakage and return ducts sealed
airtight to prevent infiltration.
The supply plenum should be the dimensions specified by the factory.

BLOWER PERFORMANCE
CFM versus Static Pressure (inches of water column dry coil w/ filter) 4% reduction for wet coil.
The air delivery can be varied by changing the blower speeds. This can allow for differences
encountered in installations.
The CFM can be checked by the following method;
(The optional Heat Kit must be installed to continue with this procedure.)
1) All access panels must be in place.
2) Start the unit in the heat mode.
3) Measure the return air temperature.
4) Measure the supply temperature. This measurement should be done in various locations
to obtain an average.
5) Subtract the return temperature from the supply temperature. This is referred to as the
temperature rise.
6) Measure the actual supply voltage and actual amperage at the terminal block/circuit
breaker.
7) The BTUH output = (Voltage x Amps x 3.41)
CFM = output (BTUH)
1.08 X temperature rise
Should the CFM need to be increased or decreased it may be done by adjusting the blower
speed tap as shown on the wiring diagram.
