Inspection and Storage
Store cabinets, chassis, and risers the same way they
were shipped. Ensure the storage area is dry and pro-
tected from the environment. Keep the units in their
upright position. If the risers are stored at the job site,
ensure the pipe ends are capped to prevent foreign ob-
ject debris and contamination.
In areas where construction is not complete (including
dry wall, plaster, paint, and where any emission of dust
particulates or fumes from outgassing are present), all
precautions must be taken to protect the cabinet, open-
ings, and chassis from contamination or physical damage.
Upon delivery, perform the following inspections:
1. Inspect the unit for shipment damage. Notify the
Transportation Company of any damage and note
the damage on the shipping receipt.
Rough handling may dislocate and dam-
age internal components.
2. Inspect the riser projections at each end of the
cabinet for misalignment or end damage that
would prevent making an acceptable connection.
3. Inspect the thermostats and other accessories that
have been shipped separately for quantity and
transit damage.
Store the refrigeration chassis in the normal upright
orientation to maintain oil in the compressor sump.
Preparations for Installing the Unit
Before installing the unit, perform the following prep-
arations:
• Verify the model number on the unit nameplate
with the ordering and shipping information to en-
sure the correct unit has been shipped.
• Carefully inspect each unit before delivery to the
installation site. All cabinets may not be equipped
with the same size riser or the same air supply
grille arrangement. In most cases, each cabinet is
individually tagged for a specic location in the
building.
• Keep the cabinet sealed with the shipping materi-
als until all plastering, painting, and construction
work is complete.
• Remove the inner service panel and manually
check the blower wheel for free rotation.
• Match the refrigeration chassis to the proper cabi-
nets by referring to the cabinet and chassis name-
plate and label information.
• Remove the chassis refrigeration access panel
(top cover) and inspect the unit. Ensure that the
refrigerant tubing is free from obvious physical
damage and kinks, and check that piping does not
touch other unit components.
• Ensure the compressor is mounted on neoprene
isolators with metal spacing sleeves inside. Se-
cured it with nuts that are snug against the metal
spacer sleeves.
• Inspect all electrical connections. Connections
must be clean and tight at the terminals.
Do NOT use the risers to lift the cabinet
assembly.
Do NOT install this unit outdoors.
A compressor/unit comprises a pressur-
ized system. Never loosen threaded joints
while the system is under pressure, and
never open pressurized system parts.
Before servicing, open and tag all discon-
nect switches.
Do NOT install units in a flammable
environment due to the danger of an
explosion.

Safety guards, shields, barriers, cov-
ers, and protective devices must not be
removed while the compressor/unit is
operating.
All safety features, disengagement, and
interlocks must be in place and function
correctly before the equipment is put into
operation. Never bypass or wire around
any safety device.
Use gloves and protective goggles where
appropriate and have a gas mask close at
hand. Use electrical protection equipment
and tools suited for electrical operations.
Personnel must be qualied according
to national safety rules and regulations.
Only manufacturer- qualied personnel
should install this system. If not, it may
cause water leakage, electric shock, or
re.
Rigging
Follow all applicable regulations and
safety practices during rigging and lifting.
Prepare and follow written rigging and lifting plan.
Lifting must be directed by trained, professional rigger.
Spreader bars must be used and be long enough to pre-
vent rigging from contacting unit. Use only the desig-
nated lift points according to unit's IOM, and use ALL
lift points.
Locate the center of gravity through trial lifts to ac-
count for possible variations in unit configuration. Use
rigging and lifting techniques that keep the unit stable
and level. Keep clear of unit when lifted.
CABINET RISER INSTALLATION
Do NOT use the risers to lift or move the
cabinets.
Refer to Figure 3 on page 14, which shows the
correct location of the cabinet in relation to the floor
sleeve and risers.
Risers are not designed to support or lift any part of the
cabinet. Do not use them to lift a cabinet. Risers are at-
tached using nylon ties to allow for slight adjustments
during installation, and expansion of riser column dur-
ing operation. Take care during installation to avoid
damage to risers and riser stub-outs.
Improper handling and installation of
risers could damage riser stub-outs and
valves and could result in property dam-
age, death, or serious injury.
Do not allow the risers to bottom out. Riser
stub-out should be centrally located with
the stub-out opening of the cabinet riser.
Do not allow riser stub-outs or risers to
contact cabinet sheet metal.
Do not drag risers on the oor while mov-
ing the cabinet.
When the risers are shipped loose, riser installation can
be completed before cabinet installation. When install-
ing risers, ensure the riser stub-outs are centered in the
the cabinet openings. Ensure that the risers cannot bot-
tom out in swage (see Figure 1 on page 12).
When risers are shipped attached to cabinets, complete
the installation of risers and cabinet at the same time.
Detaching the riser from the cabinet is unnecessary.
Placing the Cabinet
The correct location of the cabinet in relation to the
floor sleeve and risers is shown in Figure 3 on page
14.To place the cabinet correctly, perform the fol-
lowing steps:

12
FORM 145.18-IOM2
ISSUE DATE: 06/17/2020
SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION
1. Place the cabinet in a horizontal position on the
oor adjacent to its installation location (when ris-
ers are attached to cabinet).
The units are designed to accommodate a maxi-
mum supply and return riser stub-out movement
of 1-1/2 inches due to expansion and contraction
(total movement of 3 inches). If the total calcu-
lated riser expansion or contraction exceeds 1-1/2
inches, the field must provide expansion compen-
sation.
The initial positioning of the riser stub-out
is correct when the top of the riser pipe is
3 inches above the top of the cabinet (ap-
plies to VPT standard riser models only).
2. Install eld or factory-provided riser extensions,
if required, to the unit-mounted risers prior to
moving the cabinet into nal position.
3. Raise the cabinet upright. Lower the risers through
the oor cutout, aligning the risers into the swaged
section of the unit on the oor below.
Take extra care not to scrape or dent ris-
ers during positioning. The riser tailpiece
should insert approximately 2 inches into
the 3-inch long swaged section of the unit
below.
DO NOT allow the riser tailpiece to bottom
out into the swaged section. This ensures
the correct riser positioning and com-
pensates for variations in oor-to-oor
dimensions.
4. Center the risers in the pipe chase, and level the
cabinet using shims as necessary.
5. Plumb risers in two planes to assure proper unit
operation and condensate drainage.
6. When building construction codes or safety laws
require securing the cabinets in order to prevent
accidental tipping, the eld must order and install
factory isolated anchor kits (P/N VB-ANCHOR).
The kit includes isolated anchor brackets (2X) and
sheet metal screws (4X). Concrete screws used to
fasten the anchors into the oor are eld supplied.
Ensure the unit has vibration isolation
pads installed. These pads are required
in order to reduce noise transmission into
the oor. If the unit does not vibration
isolation pads, order them via Source1
and install in the eld. Failure to have the
isolation kits installed can result in loud
unit operation.
Do not drill or drive screws into the cabi-
net in the area of the internal drain pan.
7. Center the risers’ horizontal stub-outs (complete
with factory-installed shut-off valves) in the cabi-
net slot openings. Ensure that the stub-outs are
perpendicular to the side/back panel.
8. Verify all risers are vertical and that they pene-
trate the swaged joint at least 1 inch.
Factory provided risers come with a 3-inch deep
swage. Do not allow risers to completely bottom
out at 3 inches in the swage. The 3-inch swage
depth is oversized to allow for adjustments if nec-
essary to keep riser stub-outs and valves centered
in the cabinet opening.
9. Center the riser stub-out in cabinet opening to
allow for expansion and contraction. Riser stub-
outs must not contact on any sheet metal opening.
Otherwise damage can occur to stub-outs, result-
ing in water leaks and property damage.

ed to support the riser system. If the temperature
range of the system exceeds the allowed expan-
sion and contraction limits (1-1/2 inches maxi-
mum), the installing contractor must make riser
compensation provisions.
12. Ensure that individual unit shut-off valves remain
closed until the circulating loop system is cleaned

SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION
RISER LOOP
1. Install the following parts at the base of each sup-
ply and return riser to enable system ushing, bal-
ancing, and servicing:
• Drain valve
• Shut-off/balancing valves
• Flow indicators
• Drain tees
2. Install strainers at the inlet of each circulating
pump.
3. Insulate loop water piping that runs through un-
conditioned areas of the building or outside the
building.
When the loop water temperature is maintained
between nominal operating limits of 60.0–90.0°F,
piping does not sweat or suffer undue heat loss at
conditioned space temperatures.
4. Install vents in piping loop as required to bleed
residual air from the piping system during lling
and servicing.
5. Determine the riser shut-off valves and hose kits
required for job specic site conditions:
a. Factory-supplied risers come with the appro-
priate hose kits with NPSH or JIC type fit-
tings (see Figure 5 on page 17 and Figure
7 on page 18). Before attaching NPSH type
hoses, check that the female end gasket is not
missing and is free of damage or debris. See
Table 3 on page 16 for information on re-
placement gaskets for NPSH hose kits.
b. For field-supplied risers, it is recommended
to order the appropriate NPSH or JIC type
field hose kits from the factory, complete
with shut-off valves. Shut-off valves are to
be field sweat connected to risers (see Figure
6 on page 17 and Figure 8 on page 18).
HOSES
Ensure the correct hose set is matched with the com-
patible unit size (see Table 2 on page 16). Instal the
NPSH or JIC factory-provided hoses by completing
the following steps:
1. Inspect for missing or damaged hose gasket. See
Table 3 on page 16 for replacement gasket part
numbers.
2. Tighten by hand the screw connections to the
male NPSH or JIC tting on the shut-off valve.
Hold the ferrule stationary when tightening.
3. Tighten using a backup wrench a 1/4 turn further.
Do not overtighten.
When installing hoses, do not apply a
twist or torque load on the hose.
When tightening hoses, hold the ferrule
stationary by hand while tightening the
screw connections. Avoid tight bends, or
water ow and high pressure drops may
occur.
Hose gasket does not require extreme
tightening to obtain a seal. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN, or damage to gasket or
sealing surface will occur. Do not apply
thread sealant.
Hoses must be hand tightened, then fur-
ther tightened for roughly another 1/4
turn. Check for leaks before tightening
any further. Do not apply excessive force;
rubber gaskets might get damaged.
Always use a back-up wrench when tight-
ening hoses to valves. Otherwise, valve
solder joint may fail, leading to property
damage or serious injury.

ELECTRICAL WIRING
Lock all electrical power supply switches
in the OFF position before installing the
unit. Failure to disconnect power supply
may result in electrical shock or even
death.
Field-Installed Power Wiring
Power wiring to the equipment must conform to Na-
tional Electrical Codes (NEC), local electrical codes,
and must be performed by a licensed electrician.
Provide each unit with its own separate electrical cir-
cuit, means of circuit protection, and electrical discon-
nect switch. Follow current NEC ANSI/NFPA 70, CSA
C22.1 C.E.C. Part 1, and state and local codes.
Failure to provide these shut-off means
could cause electrical shock or re, re-
sulting in damage, injury, or death.
Use copper conductors only! Failure
to use copper conductors can result in
equipment damage.
Verify that the available unit power supply is compat-
ible with the unit’s nameplate rating. Ensure the break-
er is properly sized as per the nameplate. The line volt-
age supply enters through the right side of the cabinet
at the 7/8-inch power entrance knock-out.
Connect to the line side of the factory-installed termi-
nal block. Unit terminals are not designed to accept
other types of conductors. Failure to use copper con-
ductors may result in equipment damage.
Field-Installed Low Voltage Wiring
Select a location for room thermostat, away from sup-
ply air registers, on draft-free interior wall that is far
from lights, television, direct sunlight, or other heat
sources.
Locate thermostat away from supply
drafts. Ensure the back of the thermostat
is sealed and protected from air drafts.
Short cycling can result in damage to
the unit.
Install the thermostat by connecting the remote ther-
mostat wiring to microprocessor board low voltage
terminal strip. See Figure 9 on page 19 for typical
wiring connections.
Ensure that the control wiring between the thermostat
and the unit’s terminations does not exceed 1 ohm.
Resistance in excess of 1 ohm may cause
component damage due to insufcient AC
voltage supply.
Check all loads and conductors for
grounds, shorts, or miswiring. Do not run
the low voltage wiring in the same conduit
with the high voltage power wiring.

Optional Surface Mount Thermostat
Connection Wiring
For applications where the thermostat is mounted di-
rectly above the return air (RA) panel, select cabinet
control option P (for example, VPB12P). The ther-
mostat Molex pigtail harness (shipped loose) is field
wired to thermostat terminals. The Molex connector
clips to the panel-mounted, mating Molex connector
on unit cabinet that is located 7 inches above the elec-
trical box. See optional 24V surface mount connection
in Figure 3 on page 14.
Optional Remote Mounted Thermostat Wiring
For units ordered with an extended thermostat harness
option, the thermostat is remote mounted. A specific,
plenum rated extended harness length can be ordered.
Use low voltage 7/8-inch knock-out on the side of the
unit at the electrical box to field wire the low voltage
thermostat wiring. Using a plastic bushing to pass the
harness inside electrical box to the factory wired mat-
ing Molex harness. See Figure 10 and Figure 11.

Optional ADA Door Mounted Thermostat
For units ordered with the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA) thermostat option to meet ADA require-
ments, the thermostat is located on the RA panel door
at a height of 48 inches from the base of the cabinet.
Unit is supplied with a custom RA door panel with
thermostat mounting holes, unit switch plate with a
Molex connector, and an ADA Molex pigtail harness.
See Figure 15 on page 23.
Wire leads from the ADA thermostat harness are field
wired to thermostat terminals. The Molex end of the
ADA thermostat harness is field connected to the sur-
face mounted Molex connector at unit switch plate.
Mount the thermostat using the factory provided 1/4-
inch number 8 screws. The ADA thermostat harness is
plenum rated. It hangs behind the RA door. For chassis
servicing, unclip harness from unit switch plate.
EC Motor (ECM) Continuous Fan
This option features a factory wired continuous low
speed fan circuit. Because of the five available motor
speed taps, the EC motor (ECM) offers an ideal range
for supporting continuous low speed fan.
The fan runs continuously on the low fan speed setting
even if there is no demand for cooling or heating. The
continuous fan is controlled by a dry contact to provide
interlocking to energy recovery ventilator (ERV) or
room occupancy control. See Figure 31 on page 49
and Figure 32 on page 50 for electrical schematics.
