certified, by ETL, in accordance with UL
Safety Standard 1995/CSA C22.2 No. 236.
System should be sized in accordance with
the American Society of Heating,
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers Handbook.
Installation of H3 and V3 Series units must
conform to the ICC standards of the
International Mechanical Code, the
International Building Code, Installation of
Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems
Standard, NFPA 90A, and local building,
plumbing and waste water codes. All
appliances must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, the current National
Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the
current Canadian Electrical Code CSA
C22.1.
Failure to observe the following
instructions will result in premature
failure of your system and possible
voiding of the warranty.
WARNING
Receiving Unit
When received, the unit should be checked
for damage that might have occurred in
transit. If damage is found it should be noted
on the carrier’s Freight Bill. A request for
inspection by carrier’s agent should be made
in writing at once.
Nameplate should be checked to ensure the
correct model sizes and voltages have been
received to match the job requirements.
If repairs must be made to damaged goods,
then the factory should be notified before
any repair action is taken in order to protect
the warranty. Certain equipment alteration,
repair, and manipulation of equipment
without the manufacturer’s consent may
void the product warranty. Contact the
AAON Warranty Department for assistance
with handling damaged goods, repairs, and
freight claims: (903) 236-4403.
Note: Upon receipt check shipment for
items that ship loose such as filters and
remote sensors. Consult order and shipment
documentation to identify potential looseshipped items. Loose-shipped items may
have been placed inside unit cabinet for
security. Installers and owners should secure
all doors with locks or nuts and bolts to
prevent unauthorized access.
Figure 1 - Lockable Handle
Storage
This equipment is not suitable for outdoor
use of storage. If installation will not occur
immediately following delivery, store
equipment in a dry protected area away from
construction traffic and in the proper
orientation as marked on the packaging with
all internal packaging in place. Secure all
loose-shipped items.
Direct Expansion (DX) Systems
All DX systems include evaporator coils and
thermal expansion valves (TXV).
Never turn off the main power supply to the
unit, except for servicing, emergency, or
complete shutdown of the unit. When power
is cut off from the unit crankcase heaters
cannot prevent refrigerant migration into the
condensing unit compressors. This means
the compressor may cool down and liquid
refrigerant may accumulate in the
compressor. The compressor is designed to
pump refrigerant gas and damage may occur
when power is restored.
17
Unit should not be operated without a
p-trap. Failure to install a p-trap may
result in overflow of condensate
water.
CAUTION
CRANKCASE HEATER
OPERATION
Some units are equipped with
compressor crankcase heaters,
which should be energized at least
24 hours prior to cooling operation, to
clear any liquid refrigerant from the
compressors.
CAUTION
Emergency drain pan is
recommended for all applications
where a risk of water damage to
surrounding structure or furnishings.
Refer to local codes.
CAUTION
If power to the unit must be off for more
than an hour, turn the thermostat system
switch to "OFF", or turn the unit off at the
control panel, and leave the unit off until the
main power switch has been turned on again
for at least 24 hours for units with
compressor crankcase heaters. This will give
the crankcase heater time to clear any liquid
accumulation out of the compressor before it
is started.
Always control the unit from the thermostat,
or control panel, never at the main power
supply, except for emergency or complete
shutdown of the unit.
During the cooling season, if the air flow is
reduced due to dirty air filters or any other
reason, the cooling coils can get too cold
which will cause excessive liquid to return
to the compressor. As the liquid
concentration builds up, oil is washed out of
the compressor, leaving it starved for
lubrication.
The compressor life will be seriously
shortened by reduced lubrication and the
pumping of excessive amounts of liquid oil
and refrigerant.
Note: Low Ambient Operation
Air-cooled DX units without a low ambient
option, such as condenser fan cycling or the
18
0°F low ambient option, will not operate in
the cooling mode of operation properly
when the outdoor temperature is below
55°F. Low ambient and/or economizer
options are recommended if cooling
operation below 55°F is expected.
Wiring Diagrams
Unit specific wiring diagrams are laminated
and affixed inside the controls compartment
door.
Condensate Drain Pans
Units require field installed drain p-traps and
lines to be connected to the condensate drain
pans of the unit. The lines should be the
same pipe size or larger than the drain
connection, include a p-trap, and pitch
downward toward drain. An air break should
be used with long runs of condensate lines.
Installation
AAON equipment has been designed for
quick and easy installation. Startup and
service must be performed by Factory

Locating the Unit
Placement of the unit relative to ductwork,
electrical and plumbing must be carefully
considered. Return air plenum or duct can be
mounted directly to the return air flanges.
Use flexible gasket material to seal the duct
to the unit.
Verify floor, foundation or suspension
support can support the total unit weight,
including accessory weights. Unit must be
level in both horizontal axes to support the
unit and reduce noise and vibration from the
unit.
Allow adequate space for piping access and
panel removal. To ensure proper access
for field service, maintain minimum
clearances for field piping and other
obstructions as indicated by Table 1 and
Figure 2 and Figure 3. Consult local
building codes for additional service
clearance requirements. Condensate drain
connections are located on the access side of
the unit.
Table 1 - H3 and V3 Series Clearances
Floor Mounted Units
Make sure the unit is level and mounted on a
field supplied platform with a minimum
height to allow for proper depth of the
condensate line p-trap. Other installation
provisions may be necessary according to
job specifications. V3 Series vertical air
handling units are designed for upflow
applications only

Suspended Units
H3 Series horizontal air handling units are
equipped for suspended installations. The
unit should be lifted into position by
supporting the unit with the skid used for
shipping. The air handling unit must be
installed level and care should be taken to
prevent damage to the cabinet. Other
installation provisions may be necessary
according to job specifications. Figure 4
and Figure 5 show factory recommended
methods for suspended installations. It is
the responsibility of the specifying engineer
or installing contractor to ensure the
installation is structurally safe and sound.

UNIT HANDLING
Incorrect lifting can cause damage to
the unit, injury or death. Lifting
equipment capacity should exceed
unit weight by an adequate safety
factor. Always test lift unit not more
than 24 inches high to verify proper
center of gravity lift point.
WARNING
The foam insulation releases
dangerous fumes when it is burnt. Do
not cut a foam part with a cutting
torch or plasma cutter. Do not weld to
a foam filled part.
WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Before
attempting to perform any installation,
service, or maintenance, shut off all
electrical power to the unit at the
disconnect switches. Unit may have
multiple power supplies. Failure to
disconnect power could result in
dangerous operation, serious injury,
death, or property damage.
WARNING
Lifting and Handling the Unit
Before lifting unit, be sure that all shipping
material has been removed from unit.
Care should be taken if using spreader bars,
blocking or other lifting devices to prevent
damage to the cabinet, coil or fans.
Electrical
Verify the unit name plate agrees with
power supply. H3 and V3 Series units are
provided with single point power wiring
connections. Connection terminations are
made to the main terminal block. A
complete set of unit specific wiring
diagrams, showing factory and field wiring
are laminated in plastic and located inside
the control compartment door.
Route power and control wiring, separately,
through the utility entry in the unit. Do not
run power and control signal wires in the
same conduit.
22
All units require field supplied electrical
overcurrent and short circuit protection.
Device must not be sized larger than the
Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP)
shown on the unit nameplate.
Codes may require a disconnect switch be
within sight of the unit.
It is recommended that the field installed
overcurrent protection or disconnect switch
not be installed on the unit.
Electrical supply can enter through the
bottom or side of the controls compartment.
A single point connection to a terminal
block is provided. High voltage conductors
should enter the control panel in a separate
opening and separate conduit than low
voltage conductors.
To pass wires through the wall or roof of the
unit, a hole should be cut and conduit passed
through it. Use the following procedure to
cut a round hole in a foam panel.
Cutting Electrical Openings
1. Locate the placement of the hole. Be sure
that the conduit will not interfere with the
operation of any component or prevent
access of any door or removable panel.
Field cut openings must be a minimum of 6
