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 circuit may
consist of an appropriate sized power cord which connected with the grounding piece

Air Handlers
7
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.
(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.
4.6 Electric Heater
The air handlers listed in this manual do not have factory installed electric heat.
Electric heat is available as an accessory. Please refer to installation instructions
provided with heater kit for the correct installation procedure.
Refer to the “installing electric heater” section of this manual and the
instructions provided with the heater kit for the correct installation procedure.
The electrical characteristics of the air handler, the electric heater kit,
and the supply power should be identical. This air handler does not have factory
installed electric heater. Electric heater is available as an accessory. If installing this
option, the only heater kits that can be used are the series as indicated below.
