At Remington®, innovation is more than a mission, it’s
our history. It began in 1955, when we developed the
first through-the-wall, self-contained heating and cooling
system for individually-zoned applications. It was an
invention that revolutionized the heating and cooling
industry.
When it was first introduced, the Incremental®System, or
Packaged Terminal Air Conditioning (PTAC) as it's known
today, was a new concept, built on the premise that by
using a small air conditioning unit in each space, multi-
zone buildings could be heated and cooled more effi-
ciently and at lower first costs versus using an expensive
central plant.This major breakthrough made a
lasting impact.
Since that first Incremental System was introduced,
hundreds of thousands of Packaged Terminal Air Con-
ditioners and Heat Pumps(PTHP) have been installed in
all types of buildings, all over North America. Residents,
employees, students, visitors and more now enjoy year-
round comfort in a host of multi-room, multi-story build-
ings such as hotels/motels, office buildings, apartments,
dormitories, hospitals, nursing homes and schools.
Advantages of a "PTAC"
Lower First Cost
There is no need to pay for expensive ductwork, a cen-
tral chiller/boiler plant or the miles of piping that are
required with central systems.This can significantly
reduce both design and installation costs. Capital costs
can also be reduced by providing a unit to the space
only when it becomes occupied.
Lower Design Costs
The overall system design is greatly simplified, allowing
designers to devote more time to other areas and
reducing overall costs.
Architectural Design Freedom
Eliminates the need for large mechanical equipment
rooms, which helps increase potential leasable space.
Expensive ductwork is also eliminated, so the floor to
floor distances can be reduced without lowering ceiling
heights.
Comfort on Demand
Each occupant determines their own comfort require-
ments for their space. By using Remington units, occu-
pants can easily cool one room while simultaneously
heating another without continuously operating a central
chiller and central boiler.
Inherent Economy
Installing PTAC/PTHP units reduces the need to condi-
tion the entire building to provide comfort in one space.
For example, with this type of system, comfort condition-
ing can be provided in one area for an occupant working
after hours, while the rest of the building sleeps.
Easy Maintenance Without Disruption
Packaged Terminal products require minimal mainte-
nance because of their simple design and high-quality
construction. Routine maintenance can be easily per-
formed by a facility's own staff. If a unit becomes
inoperable, it can be repaired or replaced without
disruption of adjacent spaces.The easy, slide-in, slide-
out chassis allows one person to quickly remove and
replace an inoperable unit, minimizing downtime in the
effected space.
The new Remington PTAC/PTHP unit has revolutionized
the industry with its superior options and innovations,
bringing you the highest quality air conditioners in the
industry, year after year.

Energy Savings Beyond Energy Efficiency Rating (E.E.R.)
The Digital Temperature Set Point allows each occupant
to easily set their precise desired zone comfort tempera-
ture. Eliminating the zone comfort guesswork inherent
with mechanical knob controls decreases unnecessary
running of the unit and helps prevent expensive over-
cooling/overheating.
Standard Flexible Control Module
The Remington unit has a flexible control module.This
allows the digital control pad to be removed and mount-
ed within the room on a wall within the occupied space.
Additionally, the standard features and functionality of
the controls are a superior value versus the mechanical
knobs most other PTAC's use.
Corrosion Resistant Hydrophilic Coils
On Remington units, all evaporator and condenser coils
are protected with a hydrophilic coating. This feature is
standard on all Remington units, making it an ideal
choice for any environment, including highly corrosive
environments such as Florida.This protection can also
extend the life of your coils, offering added cost savings.
Classroom Benefits
Remington units' standard features provide exceptional
benefits for classroom applications.There are no knobs
for students to remove and lose. Remington's two-motor
units are inherently quieter than a single motor design.
The Remington unit is pencil proof. The Fresh Air
Damper also arrives without additional labor required to
enable the damper.
Extra Humidity Control
Remington is the only AC manufacturer to offer the Cool-
Dry Dehumidification Mode standard on all units.The
system is designed to provide high indoor air quality
(IAQ) by reducing humidity which can help to prevent
mold/mildew build-up in conditioned space. As a result,
the conditioned air will feel and smell fresher, removing
up to 70% more humidity in the Cool-Dry mode when
compared to the standard cool mode at 50% load.
Results will vary under different loading conditions.
A Superior Choice
Remington units meet the industry standard (ASHRAE
90.1) for E.E.R.’s and capacities, and they offer much
more than that. Our money-saving operational features,
combined with our superior warranty packages, can pay
dividends both in labor savings and operational costs in
the long run.
Warranty
No other manufacturer stands behind their product like
Remington. Both our Gold Plus and Platinum Plus
Packages offer a limited one-year unit exchange warran-
ty on the entire conditioner and a refrigeration circuit unit
exchange warranty for the 2nd through 5th year.The Gold
Plus package offers an additional functional parts war-
ranty for the 2nd through 5th year. Freight costs will be
paid by the manufacturer. Please contact us for more
warranty package details.

Heating/Cooling Chassis
Chassis shall be slide-in, plug-in type with a self-con-
tained, hermetically sealed refrigerant circuit. All
chassis sheet metal parts shall be coated with a poly-
ester based powder paint or galvanized for maximum
corrosion resistance.
The chassis shall consist of the following components:
vibration isolated, permanent split capacitor rotary-type
compressor, rifled copper tubed evaporator and con-
denser coils with high efficiency raised lance aluminum
plate fins that are hydrophilic coated to resist corrosion
and mechanically expanded to the tubes for maximum
heat transfer and a capillary restrictor type refrigerant
metering device. Coils shall be factory tested at 300 psig
(heat pump models shall also include reversing valve
and charge balancing device).
A positive-closing, manual fresh air damper shall be
included within the chassis to provide the option of fresh
air during operation.
System airflow shall be accomplished by the use of the
separate outdoor and indoor fan motors. Motors shall be
permanent split capacitor, totally enclosed and perma-
nently lubricated. A single speed motor shall directly
drive the outdoor fan.The outdoor fan shall be construct-
ed out of high impact resistant polymer and consist of
multiple propeller-type blades with a slinger ring
designed to efficiently remove condensate.The indoor
fan assembly shall consist of a single centrifugal fan that
is forward curved and directly connected to a two-speed
motor. All fans shall be statically and dynamically bal-
anced to provide for quiet and smooth operation.
During the cooling cycle, the compressor and both fan
motors shall be energized. Condensation accumulated
on the indoor coil shall be drained into the outdoor
section of the unit where it is to be picked up by the out-
door fan and transferred to the outdoor coil where it
shall then be evaporated to enhance units' capacity and
efficiency.
(Electric Resistance Heat Only Models) During the
heating cycle, only the indoor fan motor and the electric
resistance heaters are energized.The compressor shall
not be energized. Heaters shall be high mass cal-rod
type with high limit cutout. Electric resistance heaters
shall be universal in design such that the type of power
cord specified with the heating/chassis determines the
respective heater size as shown in the schedule and/or
specifications. Electric resistance heaters must be locat-
ed behind the indoor coil and must not be visible or
accessible through the indoor discharge grille.
(Reverse Cycle Heat Pump Models) During the heating
cycle, the reversing valve, compressor and both fan
motors will be energized. Depending on the outdoor air
temperature, two distinct heating modes shall be avail-
able. Namely, compressor only or electric heat only.
Minimum outdoor temperature for compressor operation
shall be 25°F. Between outdoor temperature of 25°F and
45°F, the compressor and electric heater will alternate as
required to maintain indoor temperature.When the out-
side temperature is below 25°F, the electric heat-only
mode shall be utilized.The electric heaters shall be high
mass cal-rod type with high limit cutout. Electric resist-
ance heaters shall be universal in design such that the
type of power cord specified with the heating/chassis
determines the respective heater size as shown on the
schedule and/or specifications. Electric resistance
heaters must be placed behind the indoor evaporator coil
and must not be visible or accessible through the indoor
discharge grille. Condensation accumulated on the out-
door coil during reverse cycle heating MUST not be
evaporated against the indoor coil as it could contami-
nate the indoor air with pollutants and odors.
Condensation accumulated during reverse cycle heating
shall transfer from chassis into wall sleeve by means of a
thermostatically controlled drain valve. Condensate shall
exit wall sleeve via weep holes or optional indoor/outdoor
drain kit.

Unit shall have automatic temperature compensating
algorithm (+2°F in HEAT or –2°F in COOL) to minimize
temperature swing and compressor cycling during period
when room is brought to set point temperature after
being off for 2 or more hours.This will automatically
compensate for the cold or warm radiation effect felt
from the mass in the walls, floor, and furnishings until
they normalize. The 2°F offset is maintained for the first
cycle only. After that, the setting reverts to that shown on
the digital display.
The unit shall have two cooling modes (COOL and
COOL/DRY).The Cool/Dry feature shall be
Owner/Facility Manager activated or deactivated by an
internal dipswitch and when activated, be user selectable

Each unit shall incorporate an automatic indoor coil frost
control to extend compressor life by limiting operation in
low ambient conditions.
In case of power failure, each unit will randomly restart
when power resumes to avoid overloading and power
surging of the electrical circuits. Also, upon restart, the
unit shall retain its last control setting.
An Owner/Facility manager selectable fan cycle switch
shall be incorporated to allow either continuous or cycle
operation of indoor fan.
Room freeze protection shall be incorporated to safe-
guard against freezing indoor temperatures and shall be
Owner/Facility Manager activated/deactivated.When
activated, if the indoor temperature drops to 40°F,
regardless of the control setting the electric heater and
indoor fan will automatically energize to prevent further
room temperature decline.
