immediate or potential hazards. It is the owner’s responsibility to read and comply
with all safety information and instructions accompanying these symbols. Failure to
heed safety information increases the risk of serious personal injury or death,
property damage and/or product damage.
Immediate hazards which will result in property damage, product
damage, severe personal injury or death.
Hazards or unsafe practices could result in property damage,
product damage, severe personal injury or death.
Hazards or unsafe practices which may result in property damage,
product damage, severe personal injury or death.
Before serving or installing this equipment. The electrical power
to this unit must be in the “off ” position. Caution, more than one disconnect may
exist. Failure to observe this warning may result in an electrical shock that can
cause personal injury or death.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has issued various
regulations regarding the introduction and disposal of refrigerants introduced into
this unit. Failure to follow these regulations may harm the environment and can lead
to the imposition of substantial fines. These regulations may vary due to the
passage of laws. A certified technician must perform the installation and service of
this product. Should questions arise, contact your local EPA office.
Due to high system pressure and electrical shock in potential, installation and
service work can be dangerous. Only trained and qualified persons are permitted to
install or service this equipment. Observe all warnings contained in this manual and
labels/tags attached to the equipment.
This product is factory shipped for use with a 208/230V-1Ph-60Hz electrical
power supply. This air handler must not be reconfigured to operate with any other
power supply.
The unit must have an uninterrupted, unbroken electric grounding to minimize
the possibility of personal injury if an electric fault occurs. The electric grounding

Air Handlers

circuit may consist of an appropriate sized power cord which connected with the
grounding piece located in the unit control box and also connecting to the building
electric service panel. Other methods of grounding are permitted if performed in
accordance with the “National Electric Code” (NEC)/ “American National Standards
Institute” (ANSI)/ “National Fire Protection Association” (NFPA) 70 and local/state
codes. In Canada, electric grounding conforms to the Canadian electric code CSA
c22.1. failure to observe this warning can result in electrical shock that can cause
personal injury.
Special warning for installation of furnaces or air handling units in
enclosed areas, such as garages, utility rooms or parking areas.
Carbon monoxide producing devices (such as an automobile, space heater,
gas water heater, etc.) should not be operated in enclosed areas such as
unventilated garages, utility rooms or parking areas because of the danger of
carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning resulting from the exhaust emissions. If a furnace
or air handler is installed in an enclosed area such as a garage, utility room or
parking area and a carbon monoxide producing device is operated therein, there
must be adequate ventilation directly to outside.
This ventilation is necessary to avoid the danger of CO poisoning which can
occur if a carbon monoxide producing device continues to operate in the enclosed
area. Carbon monoxide emission can be (re)circulated throughout the building if the
furnace or air handler is operating in any mode.
CO can cause serious illness including permanent brain damage or death.

4 Installation
4.1 Unit Inspection
Upon delivery, inspect the unit for damage. Any damage must be reported
immediately to the carrier. Do not install such an equipment damaged by freight
which determines the integrity and safety of the unit.
Please check the equipment model number to ensure the unit is appropriately
sized for the condensing unit.
If an incorrect unit is supplied, it must not be installed and it is to be returned to
the supplier. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for the installation of
incorrectly delivered units. The evaporator coil contains high-pressure inert gas for
holding charge.
4.2 Location
This air handler is designed for indoor installation only. Do not
install it outdoors.
When installing the air handler, take consideration to minimize the length of
refrigerant tubing as much as possible. Do not install the air handler in a location
either above or below the condenser that violates the instructions provided with the
condenser. Service clearance is to take precedence. Allow a minimum of 24” in front
of the unit for service clearance. When installing in an area directly over a finished
ceiling (such as an attic), an emergency drain pan is required directly under the unit.
See local and state codes for requirements. When installing this unit in an area that
may become wet, elevate the unit with a sturdy, non-porous material. In installations
that may lead to physical damage (i.e. a garage) it is advised to install a protective
barrier to prevent such damage.
This air handler is designed for a complete supply and return ductwork system.
Do not operate this product without all ductwork attached.
Based upon the actual conditions, if air handler is installed as Fig. A, the air
handler should be concealed in a specific room or space and make sure the air
handler is not accessible to the general public.
Based upon the actual conditions, if air handler is installed as Fig. B, make sure
that there is enough space for care and maintenance and the height between the air
handler and ground is above 2500mm. And the air handler is not accessible to the
general public.

4.4 Condensate Removal
(1) It is not allowed to connect the condensate drain pipe into waste pipe or other
pipelines which are likely to produce corrosive or peculiar smell to prevent the
smell from entering indoors or corrupt the unit.

Air Handlers
11
(2) It is not allowed to connect the condensate drain pipe into rain pipe to prevent
rain water from pouring in and cause property loss or personal injury.
(3) Condensate drain pipe should be connected into special drain system for air
conditioner.
(4) The drain pan has primary and secondary drain connection. Condensate
removal is performed by attaching a 3/4” PVC pipe to the evaporator coil pan
and terminated in accordance with local or state Plumbing/HVAC codes. The
installation must include a “P” style trap that is located closely to the
evaporator coil. Do not over-tighten the drain connection in order to prevent
possible damage to the evaporator drain pan. See the following figure for
details of a typical condensate line “P” trap.
4.5 Ductwork
This air handler is designed for a complete supply and return ductwork system.
Do not operate the unit without all ductwork completed.
Do not operate this product without all ductwork attached.
Inadequate ductwork that restricts airflow can result in improper performance
and compressor or heater failure. ductwork is to be constructed in a manner that
limits restrictions and maintains suitable air velocity. ductwork is to be sealed to the
unit in a manner that will prevent leakage.
Return ductwork: Do not terminate the return ductwork in an area that can
introduce toxic, or objectionable fumes/odors into the ductwork. The return ductwork
is to be introduced into the air handler bottom (up flow configuration).
Return Air Filters: Each installation must include a return air filter. This filtering
may be performed at the air handler or externally such as a return air filter grille.
