SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing, starting up, and servicing air-conditioning equip-
ment can be hazardous due to system pressures, electrical
components, and equipment location (roofs, elevated struc-
tures, etc.).
Only trained, qualified installers and service mechanics
should install, start up, and service this equipment (Fig. 1).
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance func-
tions such as cleaning coils. All other operations should be
performed by trained service personnel.
When working on the equipment, observe precautions in the
literature and on tags, stickers, and labels attached to the
equipment.
• Follow all safety codes.
• Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
• Keep quenching cloth and fire extinguisher nearby when
brazing.
• Use care in handling, rigging, and setting bulky
equipment. See Tables 1A-1D for Physical Data. Refer
to Fig. 2 for unit weights.
INSTALLATION
Step 1 — Rig and Place the Unit
RIGGING — Preferred method is with spreader bars from
above the unit. Use hooks in lifting holes. Rig at a single point
with 4 cables or use spreader bars. All panels must be in place
when rigging. See rigging label on unit for details concerning
shipping weights, distance between lifting holes, center of
gravity, and lifting ring dimensions. See Fig. 3.
If overhead rigging is not possible, place chiller on skid or
pad for rolling or dragging. When rolling, use a minimum of
3 rollers. When dragging, pull the pad. Do not apply force to
the unit. When in final position, raise from above to lift unit
off pad.
PLACING UNIT — There must be at least 3 ft (.9 m) for ser-
vice and for unrestricted airflow on all non-coil sides of unit,
and a minimum of 3.5 ft (1.1 m) clear air space on coil sides.
For multiple units, allow 8 ft (2.48 m) separation between units
for airflow and service.
MOUNTING UNIT — When unit is in proper location, use
of mounting holes in base rails is recommended for securing
unit to supporting structure, or for mounting unit on vibration
isolators if required. See Fig. 3. Fasteners for mounting unit are
field supplied. Be sure unit is level to within 1/8in. per foot for
proper oil return to compressor.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Open all remote disconnects before servicing
this equipment.
All panels must be in place when rigging.

Step 2 —Check Compressor Mounting —As
shipped, each compressor is held down by 4 bolts. After unit is
installed, verify mounting bolt torque 12 to14 ft-lb.
Step 3 —Cooler Fluid and Drain Piping Con-
nections (Units Without Hydronic Packages) —
These chillers are supplied with factory-installed strainer
(including blow-down valve) in the entering fluid piping and
flow switch in the leaving fluid piping. Flow switch wiring is
factory installed.
Piping connections are located on the left side of the chiller
when facing the control panel for 010-030 sizes and at the end
opposite the control panel for 032-055 sizes. See Fig. 4-9
depending on model.
All sizes have FPT connections as shown in the Physical
Data tables. Provide a means of venting air from the high point
of the field-installed piping as required. Install field-supplied
drains in both the entering and leaving fluid connections.
After field piping is complete, freeze-up protection is rec-
ommended using inhibited ethylene glycol or other suitable in-
hibited antifreeze solution and electric heat tapes in areas
where piping is exposed to low ambient temperatures (34 F
[1 °C] or below). Heat tapes should possess a rating for area
ambients and be covered with a suitable thickness of closed-
cell insulation. Route power for heating tapes from a separately
fused disconnect. Identify disconnect as heat tape power source
with a warning that power must not be turned off except when
unit is being serviced.
The cooler drain connection is at the opposite end from the
compressor (see Fig. 4-9). Insulate the drain piping (in the
same manner as the chilled water piping) for at least one ft
(305 mm) from cooler.
PREPARATION FOR YEAR-ROUND OPERATION — If
unit is in operation year-round, add sufficient inhibited ethyl-
ene glycol or other suitable inhibited antifreeze solution to
chilled water to prevent freezing under low-ambient operating
conditions. Consult local water treatment specialist on charac-
teristics of water and recommended inhibitor.
PREPARATION FOR WINTER SHUTDOWN — Do not
shut off electrical disconnect during off-season shutdown. At
end of cooling season:
1. Position LOCAL/OFF/REMOTE switch to OFF.
2. Drain water from system.
3. Replace drain plug and put 2 gallons (8 liters) of inhibited
ethylene glycol (or other suitable inhibited anti-freeze) in
cooler to prevent freezing of residual water.
4. At the beginning of the next cooling season, refill cooler
and add recommended inhibitor.
