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
31
all doors with locks or nuts and bolts to prevent unauthorized access.
Figure 3 - Lockable Handle
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. If the unit is stored on the ground, take the following additional precautions:
Make sure that the unit is well
supported along the length of the base rails.
Make sure that the unit is level and
not twisting or on an uneven surface.
Provide proper drainage around the
unit to prevent flooding in the equipment.
Provide adequate protection from
vandalism, mechanical contact, etc.
Make sure all doors remain securely
closed and all latches closed.
Preparation for Storage
Blower wheels and fans
Depending on local climate
conditions, condensation may collect on components inside the units. To prevent surface rust and discoloration, spray all bare metal parts with a rust preventive compound.
Cabinet Sections
Once a month, open a door on each
section and verify that no moisture or debris is accumulating in the unit.
Control Compartment
It is recommended that any
electronic control equipment in the unit be stored in a 5% to 95% RH (non-condensing) environment.
It may be necessary to put a heat
source (light bulb) in the main control panel to prevent the accumulation of condensate within the panel. The location and wattage of the heat source is dependent on local environmental conditions.
Check the control compartment
every two weeks to confirm that the heat source is functional and is adequate for current conditions.
Direct Expansion (DX) Units
All factory-assembled packaged DX refrigeration systems are leak tested, charged with refrigerant, and run tested. Field-assembled and split system DX refrigeration systems are charged with a nitrogen holding charge instead of refrigerant.
All packaged water-source DX refrigerant systems include an evaporator, condenser, liquid line filter driers, thermal expansion valves (TXV) and scroll compressors.
32
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
COMPRESSOR CYCLING
5 MINUTE OFF TIME
To prevent motor overheating,
compressors must cycle off for a
minimum of 5 minutes.
5 MINUTE ON TIME
To maintain the proper oil level,
compressors must cycle on for a
minimum of 5 minutes.
The cycle rate must not exceed 6
starts per hour.
WARNING
Polyolester (POE) and Polyvinylether (PVE) oils are two types of lubricants used in hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigeration systems. Refer to the compressor label for the proper compressor lubricant type.
CAUTION
Never cut 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 compressors. This means the compressor will 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.
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 servicing, 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 shorted by reduced lubrication and the pumping of excessive amounts of liquid oil and refrigerant.
33
Unit should not be operated without a p-trap. Failure to install a p-trap may result in overflow of condensate water.
CAUTION
An auxiliary / emergency drain pan is recommended for all indoor applications where there is a risk of water damage to surrounding structure or furnishings. Refer to local codes.
CAUTION
Note: Low Ambient Operation
Air-cooled DX units without a low ambient option, such as condenser fan cycling, ECM driven condenser fans or the 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.
Note: Multiple Units with Multiple Thermostats
When several heating and cooling units are used to condition a space, all unit thermostat switches must be set in either heating mode, cooling mode, or off. Do not leave part of the units switched to the opposite mode. Cooling only units should be switched off at the thermostat during the heating season.
Gas or Electric Heating
The unit is designed to heat a given amount of air while operating. If this amount of air is greatly reduced, approximately 1/3 during the heating season, the gas heat exchanger or electric heating coil may overheat, and may cut the burner or heater off entirely by action of the safety high temperature limit devices which are factory mounted at the heat exchanger and supply fan areas.
Airflow should be adjusted after installation to obtain an air temperature rise within the range specified on the unit rating plate at the required external static pressure.
Should overheating occur with a gas heat exchanger, or the gas supply fail to shut off, shut off the manual gas valve to the furnace before shutting off the electrical supply.
Prolonged overheating of the heat exchanger will shorten its life.
34
If unit has not been selected as a 100% outside air unit (make up air unit) the return air duct must be sealed to the unit and the return air temperature must be maintained between 55F and 80F.
Wiring Diagrams
Unit specific wiring diagrams are laminated and affixed inside the controls compartment door.
Condensate Drain Pan
Unit requires drain traps to be connected to the condensate drain pan of the unit.
For condensate drain lines, the line 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. See Installation section of this manual for more information.
Table 1 – Electric and Gas Heating Capacities
35
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Startup and service must be performed by a Factory Trained Service Technician. A copy of this IOM should be kept with the unit.
When locating gas fired units, it is recommended the unit be installed so that the flue discharge vents are located at least 120 inches away from any opening through which combustion products could enter the building.
WARNING
Distances from adjacent public walkways, adjacent buildings, operable windows and building openings, shall conform to local codes and/or the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the National Gas & Propane Code, CSA B149.1
WARNING
WARNING
Installation
The M2 can either be shipped assembled or shipped in individual modules. See the Module Assembly section of this document for instructions on individual modules.
Locating Units
Verify foundation or mounting frame can support the total unit weight, including accessory weights.
Before setting the unit into place, caution must be taken to provide clearance for unit doors that must be accessible for periodic service. These areas contain the controls, safety devices, refrigerant or water piping, shut-off valves and filters.
A minimum clearance equal to the width of the unit is required on the access panel side of the unit to ensure there is enough room to slide out coils and energy recovery wheels, and to access filters, fans and other internal components.
Depending on natural gas and propane heating module orientations, the combustion air inlets or vent (flue) gas discharges may be located in the unit roof or sides. There must be 6 feet of clearance between these roofs/sides and building walls, parapets, or equipment. If equipment is for replacement
36
and required clearances are not available, contact AAON for recommendations.
For gas fired unit, do not position flue opening to discharge into a fresh air intake of any other piece of equipment. Unit should also be installed so that the flow of combustion intake air is not obstructed from reaching the furnace.
Flue gas is dangerously hot and contains containments. The user is responsible for determining if vent gases may degrade building materials.
The National Gas and Propane Installation Code, B149.1 specifies a 6 ft. horizontal vent terminal clearance to gas and electric meters and relief devices.
Local codes may supersede or further place restrictions on vent termination locations.

If cables or chains are used to hoist the unit they must be the same length. Care should be taken to prevent damage to the cabinet, coils and condenser fans.
Before lifting unit, be sure that all shipping material has been removed from unit.
Lifting the Assembled Unit
Units may be delivered as separate modules or completely factory assembled with all modules connected. In the latter case, if the unit was received fully assembled on a skid, the recommended method of lifting is to insert a 1-1/2” steel pipe through the lifting lugs along the entire length of the unit, then pick the unit up using a spreader bar assembly.

The top tier individual modules are shipped on individual wooden pallets and do not have base lifting lugs. They can be lifted by wrapping a strap around each side of the module or using a forklift truck.
allow for proper drainage of the condensate line. Standard units are built with a 6” base, but an optional base can be shorter. Other installation provisions may be necessary according to job specifications.
Suspended Units
Some M2 Series units can be suspended. Only single path units of size M2-005 to M2-014 can be suspended.
A ceiling suspended mounting frame must be provided for unit suspension. It is the responsibility of the engineer or installing contractor to design and build a suitable structure based on the load distribution of individual modules. C-channels, or similar structural members, are suggested to be placed parallel to airflow under each base rail of the unit, with appropriate structural cross members as required by weight and design. A 4” minimum c-channel size is recommended. The unit is not designed to be suspended directly from the base rails. An appropriate structural support is required for suspension.
The air handling unit must be installed level as the internal drain pan is manufactured with a slope toward the drain. Other installation provisions may be necessary according to job specifications and requirements.

Module Assembly
Although M2 Series modular units are shipped factory assembled as standard, the unit may be ordered as individual modules for certain applications such as for assembly in existing structures where modules must be manipulated separately. If the unit was ordered as individual modules, then they must be connected in the field.
Locate the configuration schematic in the
equipment’s literature packet. The schematic
will have CONFIGURATION written in the top left hand corner followed by the unit model number and then the module configuration numbers listed in order.
1. Identify and Situate Modules
Use the Feature String descriptions at the beginning of this manual or in the M2 Engineering Catalog for assistance identifying module types by their three-letter codes.
It is advisable to situate all required modules in the installation location as near as possible to the order in which they will be connected. Be sure to leave enough space to work between modules before connection.
Identify each module by the configuration number on its label. For example, if a module has a configuration number of FTF­101-P-A0-00000-00000-0-0, then it is a
large flat filter module “FTF”, and should be
placed in the first position “101” of the lower tier - the bottom left as you face the access side of a right hand unit, or the bottom right as you face the access side of a left hand unit.
Although the schematic should be available, the configuration numbers have been created so that correct assembly order can be determined without the need for a schematic.
Modules are arranged in order with 100 series modules on the first tier and 200 series modules on the second tier. Module 101 will always be located on the end of the bottom tier - the bottom left as you face the access side of a right hand unit, or the bottom right as you face the access side of a left hand unit. Module 201 will always be located on the end of the top tier - the top left as you face the access side of a right
41
hand unit, or the top right as you face the access side of a left hand unit. Therefore, it is possible to identify the exact module arrangement even without knowing the module type, and without a configuration schematic.
If, for any reason, a module or its position in final assembly is unidentifiable, then consult the project engineer, AAON sales representative, or AAON-Longview Product Support.
After identifying modules and determining module arrangement, modules can be prepared for final assembly.

Leave bar clamps in place until strap is secure.
Peel away backing from adhesive side of a strap.
Place the strap over a module joint with the adhesive side of the strap against the unit case.
Ensure that strap completely covers the joint and that it is square with the unit casing.
Apply pressure to the strap to affix the adhesive and to hold strap in place.
Insert self-tapping screws through pre­drilled holes in strap and secure screws into unit casing using a power drill. For best results, use the lowest effective power drill torque setting. Be careful not to over tighten the screws.
Remove bar clamps and repeat for all remaining module joints.
There should now be an airtight joint that needs to be permanently secured in position.
3. Secure Module Joints
The metal straps are to be used to secure module joints in order to maintain the airtight seal. Straps are provided with pre­drilled holes and adhesive backing already

other suitable sealant. Also seal around drain connections, electrical connections and all other inlets where air may enter the cabinet. This is especially important when the unit is installed in an unconditioned area.
Figure 16 - Strap Positioning
This section is for information only and is not intended to provide all details required by the designer or installer of the refrigerant piping
between the condenser or
condensing unit and the air handling unit. AAON is not responsible for interconnecting refrigerant piping. Consult ASHRAE Handbook – Refrigeration and ASME Standards.
CAUTION
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Startup and service must be performed by a Factory Trained Service Technician. A copy of this IOM should be kept with the unit.
WARNING
Refrigerant Piping for Split Systems
(See back of the manual for refrigerant piping diagrams.)
Piping from the condensing unit to the air handling unit is the responsibility of the installing contractor.
The Split System Configurator or Refrigerant Piping Calculator in AAONEcat32 should be used to determine acceptable refrigerant line sizes.
The pipe sizes must be selected to meet the actual installation conditions and not simply based on the connection sizes at the evaporator or condensing unit.
Only clean ACR tubing should be used. Piping should conform to generally accepted practices and codes.
The air handling unit coils are pressurized. The copper caps must be punctured to permit a gradual escape of the pressure prior to un-sweating those caps. Immediately couple the tubing to the indoor unit to avoid exposing the coils to moisture. A properly sized filter drier is furnished in the condenser. When making solder connections, make sure dry nitrogen flows through the lines, when heating the copper, to prevent oxidization inside of the copper.
When piping is completed interconnecting piping and air handling unit must be evacuated to 500 microns or less and leak checked. Condenser shutoff
valves can then be opened to allow refrigerant to flow to the air handling unit.
Thermal expansion valve bulbs should be mounted with good thermal contact on a horizontal section of the suction line close to the evaporator, but outside the cabinet, and well insulated. On suction lines less than or
equal to 7/8” OD, mount in the 12 o’clock position. On suction lines greater than 7/8” OD, mount in either the 4 o’clock or 8
o’clock position.
46
Figure 18 - TXV Bulb Position
Refrigerant lines should be fastened and supported according to local codes.
Unit should be charged based on determination of sub-cooling and superheat.
47
Line sizes must be selected to meet actual installation conditions, not simply based on the connection sizes at the condensing unit or air handling unit.
CAUTION
See Adjusting Refrigerant Charge section for more information.
Refrigerant reheat coil for the modulating hot gas reheat option is factory installed. Liquid line receiver should be installed at the condensing unit on the same circuit as the reheat coil. Care must be taken not to cross circuits in reheat systems.
Determining Refrigerant Line Size
The piping between the condenser and evaporator must ensure:
1. Minimum pressure drop, and
2. Continuous oil return, and
3. Prevention of liquid refrigerant slugging, or carryover
Minimizing the refrigerant line size is favorable from an economic perspective, reducing installation costs, and reducing the potential for leakage. However, as pipe diameters narrow, pressure-reducing frictional forces increase.
Excessive suction line pressure drop causes loss of compressor capacity and increased power usage resulting in reduced system efficiency. Excessive pressure drops in the liquid line can cause the liquid refrigerant to flash, resulting in faulty TXV operation and improper system performance. In order to operate efficiently and cost effectively, while avoiding malfunction, refrigeration systems must be designed to minimize both cost and pressure loss.
Equivalent Line Length
All line lengths discussed in this manual, unless specifically stated otherwise, are Equivalent Line Lengths. The frictional pressure drop through valves, fittings, and accessories is determined by establishing the equivalent length of straight pipe of the same diameter. Always use equivalent line lengths when calculating pressure drop. Special piping provisions must be taken when lines are run underground, up vertical risers, or in excessively long line runs.
Liquid Line Sizing
When sizing the liquid line, it is important to minimize the refrigerant charge to reduce installation costs and improve system reliability. This can be achieved by minimizing the liquid line diameter. However, reducing the pipe diameter will increase the velocity of the liquid refrigerant which increases the frictional pressure drop in the liquid line, and causes other undesirable effects such as noise.
Maintaining the pressure in the liquid line is critical to ensuring sufficient saturation temperature, avoiding flashing upstream of the TXV, and maintaining system efficiency. Pressure losses through the liquid line due to frictional contact, installed accessories, and vertical risers are inevitable. Maintaining adequate sub­cooling at the condenser to overcome these losses is the only method to ensure that liquid refrigerant reaches the TXV.
Liquid refrigerant traveling upwards in a riser loses head pressure. If the evaporator is below the condenser, and the liquid line does not include risers, the gravitational force will increase the pressure of the liquid refrigerant. This will allow the refrigerant to withstand greater frictional losses without the occurrence of flashing prior to the TXV.
A moisture-indicating sight glass may be field installed in the liquid line to indicate the occurrence of premature flashing or moisture in the line. The sight glass should not be used to determine if the system is properly charged. Use temperature and
pressure measurements to determine liquid sub-cooling, not the sight glass.
Liquid Line Routing
Care should be taken with vertical risers. When the system is shut down, gravity will pull liquid down the vertical column, and back to the condenser when it is below the evaporator. This could potentially result in compressor flooding. A check valve can be installed in the liquid line where the liquid column rises above the condenser to prevent this. The liquid line is typically pitched along with the suction line, or hot gas line, to minimize the complexity of the configuration.
Liquid Line Insulation
When the liquid line is routed through regions where temperature losses are expected, no insulation is required, as this may provide additional sub-cooling to the refrigerant. When routing the liquid line through high temperature areas, insulation of the line is appropriate to avoid loss of sub­cooling through heat gain.
Liquid Line Guidelines
In order to ensure liquid at the TXV, frictional losses must not exceed available sub-cooling. A commonly used guideline to consider is a system design with pressure losses due to friction through the line not to exceed a corresponding 1-2°F change in saturation temperature.
If the velocity of refrigerant in the liquid line is too great, it could cause excessive noise or piping erosion. The recommended
maximum velocities for liquid lines are 100 fpm from the condenser to a receiver tank to discourage fluid backup, and 300 fpm from receiver tank to the evaporator to minimize valve induced liquid hammer.
Liquid Line Accessories
The total length equivalent of pressure losses through valves, elbows and fittings must be considered when adding additional components in the field. It is a good practice to utilize the fewest elbows that will allow the mating units to be successfully joined.
Suction Line Sizing
The suction line is more critical than the liquid line from a design and construction standpoint. More care must be taken to ensure that adequate velocity is achieved to return oil to the compressor at minimum loading conditions. However, reducing the piping diameter to increase the velocity at minimal load can result in excessive pressure losses, capacity reduction, and noise at full load. The suction line also dictates the position of the TXV sensing bulb for proper operation of the TXV.
Suction Line Routing
Pitch the suction line in the direction of flow (about 1 foot per 100 feet of length) to maintain oil flow towards the compressor, and keep it from flooding back into the evaporator. Make sure to provide support to maintain suction line positioning, and insulate completely between the evaporator and condensing unit. It is important to consider part load operation when sizing suction lines. At minimum capacity, refrigerant velocity may not be adequate to return oil up the vertical riser. Decreasing the diameter of the vertical riser will increase the velocity, but also the frictional loss.
48
49
Circuits with variable capacity scroll compressors require suction riser traps every 10 feet.
CAUTION
A double suction riser can be applied to the situation of part load operation with a suction riser. A double suction riser is designed to return oil at minimum load while not incurring excessive frictional losses at full load. A double suction riser consists of a small diameter riser in parallel with a larger diameter riser, and a trap at the base of the large riser. At minimum capacity, refrigerant velocity is not sufficient to carry oil up both risers, and it collects in the trap, effectively closing off the larger diameter riser, and diverting refrigerant up the small riser where velocity of the refrigerant is sufficient to maintain oil flow.
At full load, the mass flow clears the trap of oil, and refrigerant is carried through both risers. The smaller diameter pipe should be sized to return oil at minimum load, while the larger diameter pipe should be sized so that flow through both pipes provides acceptable pressure drop at full load.
Suction Line Insulation
The entire suction line should be insulated. This prevents condensation from forming on the line, and reduces any potential loss in capacity associated with heat gain.
Suction Line Guidelines
For proper performance, suction line velocities less than a 4,000 fpm maximum are recommended. The minimum velocity required to return oil is dependent on the pipe diameter, however, a general guideline of 1,000 fpm minimum may be applied.
In a fashion similar to the liquid line, a common guideline to consider is a system design with pressure losses due to friction through the line not to exceed a corresponding 1-2°F change in saturation temperature.
At points where small pipe size can be used to provide sufficient velocity to return oil in vertical risers at part loads, greater pressure losses are incurred at full loads. This can be compensated for by over sizing the horizontal runs and vertical drop sections. This will however require additional refrigerant charge.
Circuits with variable capacity scroll compressors require suction riser traps every 10 feet.
Suction Line Accessories
If the job requirements specify suction accumulators, they must be separately purchased and field installed.
Hot Gas Bypass Line
Hot Gas Bypass (HGB) is available for use with DX systems that may experience low suction pressure during the operating cycle. This may be due to varying load conditions associated with VAV applications or units supplying a large percentage of outside air. Hot Gas Bypass is not necessary in units with variable capacity compressors. The system is designed to divert refrigerant from the compressor discharge to the low pressure side of the system in order to keep the evaporator from freezing and to maintain adequate refrigerant velocity for oil return at minimum load. Hot discharge gas is redirected to the evaporator inlet via an auxiliary side connector (ASC) to false load the evaporator when reduced suction pressure is sensed.
Field piping between the condensing unit and the evaporator is required.
Hot Gas Bypass Piping Considerations for Evaporator above Condensing Unit
Pitch the hot gas bypass (HGB) line downward in the direction of refrigerant flow, toward the evaporator.
When installing hot gas bypass risers, a drain leg must be provided at the lowest point in the system. The drain leg must be vertical, its diameter should be the same as the diameter of the riser, and it should be 1 foot long. Install a sight glass in the drain leg for observation. Run an oil return line, using 1/8 inch capillary tube, 10 feet in length, from the drain leg to the suction line. Connect the oil return line below the sight glass and 1 inch above the bottom of the drain leg.
HGB valves are adjustable. Factory HGB valve settings will be sufficient for most applications, but may require slight adjustments for some applications, including some make up air applications.
Insulate the entire length of the HGB line with a minimum 1 inch thick Armaflex insulation.
Hot Gas Bypass Piping Considerations for Evaporator below Condensing Unit
The line must slope downward from the HGB valve toward the evaporator.
Hot Gas Bypass Line Guidelines
Choose a small size line to ensure oil return, and minimize refrigerant charge.
Maintain velocities below a maximum of 4,000 fpm. A general minimum velocity guideline to use is approximately 1,000 fpm.
Hot Gas Reheat Line
Hot Gas Reheat (HGRH) is available for use with DX systems that need humidity control.
The AAON modulating hot gas reheat system diverts hot discharge gas from the condenser to the air handling unit through the hot gas line. Field piping between the
condensing unit and the air handler is required. Connect the hot gas line from the
outdoor unit to the upper stub-out connection of the reheat coil in the air handling unit.
The line delivers the hot discharge gas to the reheat coil and/or the hot gas bypass valve, so it is sized as a discharge line.
Discharge lines should be sized to ensure adequate velocity of refrigerant to ensure oil return, avoid excessive noise associated with velocities that are too high, and to minimize efficiency losses associated with friction.
Pitch the hot gas line in the direction of flow for oil return.
When installing hot gas reheat risers, a drip leg must be provided at the lowest point in the system. The drip leg must be vertical, its diameter should be the same as the diameter of the riser, and it should be 1 foot long. Run a drip line, using 1/8 inch capillary tube, 10 feet in length, from the drip leg to the suction line. Connect the drip line a minimum of 1-inch above the bottom of the drain leg.
Insulate the entire length of the hot gas line with a minimum 1 inch thick Armaflex insulation.
Hot Gas Reheat Guidelines
Maintain velocities below a maximum of 3,500 fpm. A general minimum velocity guideline is 2,000 fpm.

WARNING
Freezing Water in the Heat Exchanger
This product contains one or more refrigerant-to-water heat exchangers. A refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger contains refrigerant in one passage and water in another passage. Water is subject to freezing at 32°F. When water freezes in a heat exchanger significant forces are exerted on the components of the heat exchanger where the water is confined.
Unit is capable of operating with Entering Water Temperatures (EWT) as low as 50°F during heat pump heating mode without the need for head pressure control. If the EWT is expected to be lower than 50°F or more stable operation is desired, a field provided water regulating valve may be used.
Glycol solution should be used if ambient temperatures are expected to fall below freezing or if the loop water temperature is below 50°F while operating in the heating mode (heat pump units only). Adding glycol to condenser water causes an increase in pressure drop resulting in a decrease in unit performance. A minimum concentration of 20% glycol solution is recommended.
Table 3 - Glycol Freezing Points

Water loop piping runs through unheated areas or outside the building should be insulated.
Water Piping
All water-source heat pump units are built with a water flow switch. Some water- cooled units may not have a water flow switch. This sensor provides a signal to the unit controller that water flow is present in the heat exchanger and the compressors can operate without damaging unit components. Installing contractor must ensure a differential pressure switch is installed between the condenser water supply and return connections if the unit does not have a water flow switch installed at the factory.
The water connections will differ depending on whether the unit is water-cooled only or if it is water-source heat pump. The water­source heat pump units have water supply to the top of the heat exchanger and the return to the bottom.

Prior to connection of condensing water supply, verify water pressure is less than maximum pressure shown on unit nameplate. To prevent injury or death due to instantaneous
release of high pressure water, relief
valves should be field supplied on water piping. Supply water connection may require a backflow preventer to prevent supply makeup water from backing up into the public water system.
WARNING
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) are vulnerable to attack by certain chemicals. Polyolester (POE) oils used with R-410A and other refrigerants, even in trace amounts, in a PVC or CPVC piping system will result in stress cracking of the piping and fittings and complete piping system failure.
CAUTION
Installing Contractor is responsible for proper sealing of the water piping entries into the unit. Failure to seal the entries may result in damage to the unit and property.
CAUTION
The water-cooled only units have water supply to the bottom of the heat exchanger and the return to the top.

WATER PIPING
Follow national and local codes when installing water piping. Connections to the unit should incorporate vibration eliminators to reduce noise and vibration and shutoff valves to facilitate servicing. Supply and return water piping must be at least as large as the unit connections and larger depending on length of runs, rise and bends.
Each heat exchanger is equipped with a refrigerant pressure relief device to relieve pressure should excessive condensing pressures (>675 psig) occur. Codes may require installing contractor to connect and route relief piping outdoors. The relief valve has a 5/8” male flare outlet connection.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Before connection to the unit the condenser water system should be flushed to remove foreign material that could cause condenser fouling. Install a screen strainer with a minimum of 20 Mesh ahead of the condenser inlet to prevent condenser fouling and internal tube damage.
Mineral content of the condenser water must be controlled. All make-up water has minerals in it and as the water is evaporated in the cooling tower, these minerals remain. As the mineral content of the water increases, the conductivity of the water increases.
Field provided and installed water treatment program must be compatible with stainless steel, copper, aluminum, ABS plastic, and PVC. Batch feed processes should never be used as concentrated chemicals can cause corrosion. Never use hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) or chlorine as it will corrode stainless steel.

Heat Exchanger Safeties
Electronic freeze protection and water flow safeties should be field installed or factory provided. If the leaving water temperature drops below 38°F or water flow has ceased the 24VAC control circuit will be broken to disable the cooling system.
Waterside Economizer
Cooling and pre-cooling waterside economizer coil is factory installed upstream of the evaporator coil. An optional field installed water piping kit includes three fully modulating water valves (the economizer valve, economizer bypass valve, and a three­way head pressure control valve). The water piping between the waterside economizer and the water-cooled condenser must be field provided. See the waterside economizer piping figure for recommended piping.
A p-trap must be installed on the coil drain outlet, not to exceed 6” from the drain connection. See the previous section on condensate drain piping for additional p-trap and drain information.

Figure 21 – Waterside Economizer Piping
The waterside economizer circuit can operate in three modes: waterside economizer only, waterside economizer with mechanical cooling, and mechanical cooling only.
During waterside economizer only mode of operation, condenser water flows through the waterside economizer coil with modulating valves maintaining supply air temperature setpoint. The condenser water completely bypasses the water-cooled condenser.
During waterside economizer with mechanical cooling mode of operation, 100% of the condenser water flows through the waterside economizer coil. The condenser water then passes through the water-cooled condenser and the three-way valve modulates to maintain head pressure.

Mineral content of the condenser water must be controlled. All make-up water has minerals in it and as the water is evaporated in the cooling tower, these minerals remain. As the mineral content of the water increases, the conductivity of the water increases.
Field provided and installed water treatment program must be compatible with stainless steel, copper, aluminum, ABS plastic, and PVC. Batch feed processes should never be used as concentrated chemicals can cause corrosion. Never use hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) or chlorine as it will corrode stainless steel.
Heating Coils
One or two row hot water heating coils can be factory mounted. These coils are supplied from a building hot water source. The hot water coil is not connected to the water-source condenser piping. All controls for heating operation are field supplied and field installed.
Always connect the steam heating supply to the top of the coil and the return to the bottom.
Table 6 – Steam Distributing Coil
Connection Sizes
Air handling units with steam heating coils MUST BE installed high enough to allow for a minimum of 1 foot condensate drop leg off of the steam coil, or as recommended by the steam trap manufacturer. Lines should be insulated with approved insulation and be properly fastened, sloped, and supported according to local code requirements.

Sizes
Condensate Drain Piping
Unit may be equipped with more than one condensate drain pan connection. A p-trap and drain line must be installed on every drain connection, with the p-trap not to
exceed 6” from the drain connection. 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.
Always connect the chilled water supply to the bottom of the coil and return to the top.
Figure 24 - Chill Water Piping
Water supply lines must be insulated with closed cell type pipe insulation or insulation that includes a vapor barrier. Lines should be properly fastened, drained and supported according to local code requirements, and job specifications.
Draw-through cooling coils will have a negative static pressure in the drain pan area. This will cause an un-trapped drain to back up due to air being pulled up through the condensate drain piping. Blow-through coils will have a positive static pressure in the drain pan. The condensate piping on these drain pans must be trapped to prevent pressure loss through the drain.
Condensate drain trapping and piping should conform to all applicable governing codes.

dimension. This ensures that enough water is stored in the trap to prevent losing the drain seal during unit startup
Note: The absolute value of the fan inlet pressure will always be greater than or equal to the absolute value of the static pressure in the drain pan on draw-through units, so the fan inlet pressure is a safe value to use for the drain pan static pressure.
The X dimension on the draw-through trap should be at least equal to the absolute value of the negative static pressure in the drain pan plus one inch. To calculate the static pressure at the drain pan add the pressure drops of all components upstream of the drain pan, including the cooling coil, and add the return duct static pressure. Include the dirt allowance pressure drop for the filters to account for the worst-case scenario.
The height from top of the bottom bend of the trap to the bottom of the leaving pipe must be at least equal to one half of the X
Figure 26 - Blow-Through Drain Trap

pressure in the drain pan. To find the pressure subtract any pressure drops between the drain pan and the supply blower from the blower discharge pressure. The worst-case scenario for blow-through coils is the minimum pressure drop, so do not include dirt allowance pressure drops for filters.
The bottom of the leaving pipe should be at least one half inch lower than the bottom of the drain pan connection. This ensures proper drainage when the unit is not running.
Note: It may be necessary to fill the trap manually, or the trap can be filled automatically by operating the unit until enough condensate collects to fill the trap. The trap will then be filled when the unit is turned off.
Blower Wheels
M2 Series units are equipped with backward curved blower wheels that are set to deliver the air volume specified according to unit size and/or job requirements. This is done with air volume bands in the blower wheels, with variable frequency drives, with electrically commutated motors, or with belt drive blowers. Field airflow adjustment is required at startup.
Electrically Commutated Motor (ECM) Air Adjustment
One blower option is ECM blowers. These blowers can read a 0-10V signal for modulating air flow or they can be operated at one speed using a potentiometer. Units ordered with controls by others will include the potentiometer wired to a terminal block so that either option can be used in the field.
Figure 27 – EC Motor Wiring Diagram for
Controls by Others
Referencing the figure above, if the application is for the motor to run at a constant speed, the potentiometer can be utilized without any change. If the application is to vary the motor speed for changing conditions, remove the jumper indicated on the terminal strip (red wire).
Figure 28 – Jumper for Remote Fan Speed
Control
Figure 29 – Potentiometer
Note, the potentiometer is still active in the electrical loop. The potentiometer dial should be set for the maximum fan speed for a particular application. Maximum fan speed is determined by the ECat submittal. Typically, this max speed will be the rpm set at the factory.
The fan speed can be modulated using the 0­10 VDC input signal.
To check fan output from the factory, the potentiometer can be dialed to 100%. By sending a 5V signal*, for instance, the rpm can be measured and this reading can be converted to cubic feet of air moved by the fan.
It is advised that a medium range signal* be utilized for this procedure. The highest signal sent by the controller should then be determined by adjustment.
Banded Wheel Air Adjustment
In the event that reduced air volume is required, an air volume band can be installed within the blower wheel to reduce the amount of air delivery. If the unit is factory
equipped with the air band but additional air delivery is needed, the band can be removed from the wheel.
The air band is sized according to the air delivery specifications and can be ordered from the factory for field installation.
The related photos of the wheel are provided for practical guidelines only in order to identify the air band location in the wheel. Actual field installation of the air band into the wheel will require access into and through the blower wheel venturi.
Air volume bands are made of aluminum, sized and equipped with easy bend tabs that are to be inserted into pre-punched slots provided on the wheel. Once the band has been inserted into the slots, it MUST BE secured by bending the tabs over from the back side of the wheel and also MUST BE secured from the inside by connecting the ends together with a pop-rivet in the holes provided on the ends of the band.
If the band is to be field installed, a hand held pop-rivet tool is recommended for connecting the band ends together. Caution must be taken to assure that the band is tightly installed and no damage, denting, or alteration to the wheel or blades occurs during the installation.

Figure 30 - Supply Fan Banding
Disconnect all electrical power sources before servicing the unit. More than one power source may be provided. Failure to do so may result in injury or death from electrical shock or entanglement in moving parts.
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 Heating
Heating is accomplished by passing electrical current through a specified amount of resistance heaters which will produce the required heat. The indoor fan motor will energize at the same time as the heaters. Wiring to the air handling unit must be done in accordance with local electrical codes and standards. Check specified electrical rating and install with proper wire size.
Electrical
Verify the unit name plate agrees with power supply. M2 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 controls compartment door.
All units require a 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.
Note: Do not install the required field installed overcurrent protection or disconnect switch on the unit!
Electrical supply can enter through the bottom or side of the controls compartment. Entry must be field cut into panels of the unit. A single point connection to a terminal block is provided. Split units may require connection between the units. High voltage
62
conductors should enter the control panel in a separate opening and separate conduit than 24V low voltage conductors.
Note: Locations for field cut electrical entries are marked on the unit. Field cut openings must be a minimum of 6 inches away from all components and wiring to prevent damage due to drilling or cutting.
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.
2. Drill a pilot hole all the way through the foam panel.
3. Using a hole saw cut the hole through the metal on both sides of the foam part.
4. With a knife cut the foam out of the hole.
5. After the conduit is installed in the hole caulk the entire perimeter of the hole on both sides with an industrial grade silicone sealant or a duct seal compound.
63
Three phase voltage imbalance will cause motor overheating and premature failure.
Installing Contractor is responsible for proper sealing of the electrical and gas entries into the unit. Failure to seal the entries may result in damage to the unit and property.
CAUTION
CAUTION
If a larger cut-out is needed for additional duct connections not provided by the factory, or for any other reason, it is very important that the foam be completely sealed. Insulation covers should be fabricated from sheet metal to cover the foam at the cut. The edges and corners that are not covered should be sealed using silicone caulking. If a reciprocating saw is used to make the cut out, take care that the metal skins of the foamed part do not separate from the foam, this would result in reduced structural integrity of the part.
Size supply conductors based on the unit Minimum Current Ampacity (MCA) rating. Supply conductors must be rated a minimum of 75°C.
Protect the branch circuit in accordance with code requirements. The unit 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.
Wire power leads to the unit’s terminal
block or main disconnect. All wiring beyond this point has completed at the factory.
Supply voltage must be within the min/max range shown on the unit nameplate. Available short circuit current should not exceed the SCCR rating shown on the unit nameplate.
Three phase voltage imbalance will cause motor overheating and premature failure. The maximum allowable imbalance is 2.0%.
Voltage imbalance is defined as 100 times the sum of the deviation of the three voltages from the average divided by the average voltage.
Example: (221V+230V+227V)/3 = 226V, then 100*(226V-221V)/226V = 2.2%, which exceeds the allowable imbalance.
Check voltage imbalance at the unit disconnect switch and at the compressor terminal. Contact your local power company for line voltage corrections.
Installing contractor must check for proper motor rotation and check blower motor amperage listed on the motor nameplate is not exceeded. Motor overload protection may be a function of the variable frequency drive (VFD) and must not be bypassed.
Note: All units are factory wired for 208/230V, 460V, or 575V. If unit is to be connected to a 208V supply, the transformer must be rewired to 208V service. For 208V service interchange the yellow and red conductor on the low voltage control transformer. Red-Black for 208V Yellow-Black for 230V

Wire control signals to the unit’s low
voltage terminal block located in the controls compartment.
If any factory installed wiring must be replaced, use a minimum 105°C type AWM insulated conductors.
Thermostat Control Wiring
If a thermostat is used for unit control, thermostat should be located on an inside wall 4-5 feet above the floor where it will not be subjected to drafts, sun exposure, or heat from electrical fixtures of appliances. Control wiring must deliver adequate voltage to components to assure proper operation. Control voltage returning from controller circuit must be a minimum of 21 VAC. To assure proper wiring use the following chart to determine the allowable wiring distances.
64
Table 11 - Control Wiring
Total Wire Distance Allowable = (Quantity of Control Wires) x (Control Wire Distance)
Take the total wire distance allowable and divide by the number of wires to be connected. This indicates the distance allowable for that size wire. The wiring to the unit must not exceed the total wire distance allowable. If the voltage at the connectors is less than 21 VAC, isolation relays must be installed. If under external control 21 VAC must be field verified.
All external devices must be powered via a separate external power supply.
Example: A total of 8 wires must be pulled 75ft to a control the unit. What size wire should be used?
According to the Table 2, 16 AWG allows for 63ft (500 ft/8 wires) and 14 AWG allows for 94ft (750 ft/8 wires). Thus, 14 AWG should be used.

Figure 32 –Gas Heater Horizontal
Configuration
Horizontal Airflow Configuration
1. Airflow may be from either right or left for heater as shown, without any difference in system performance.
2. Typically no condensate drain attachment is necessary in “Heat” only applications. Condensation should not occur during heating cycle. However, in applications operating at low temperature rise or with 50% or more outside air, condensation may occur early in the heating cycle. In these applications connection of a condensate drain line is recommended, to avoid
67
condensate buildup and possible heat exchanger damage.
3. If heating section is located downstream of a refrigeration system or cooling coil, condensation can occur during operation of the air conditioning, resulting in condensation from warm, moist air in the heat exchanger tubes and flue collector. This condensate is not harmful to the heat exchanger provided it is drained continuously. For these applications a 1/4 inch NPT connection is provided for attachment of condensate drain line to remove condensate from heat exchanger.
Figure 33 –Gas Heater Vertical
Configuration
Vertical Airflow Configuration
1. Airflow may be either upflow or downflow for heater as shown, without any difference in system performance.
2. In this configuration, condensate due to operation of air conditioning system would drain through the open heat exchanger tubes near base of heater. An optional condensate drain pan is available for these applications, if none is incorporated integral to the unit.
3. Some condensation may occur in the flue collector box, and it is recommended that a
drain tube be connected to the lower condensate drain fitting as well.
Gas Valve
Figure 34 - Gas Valve
Input
The correct heat capacity of the furnace is controlled by the burner orifices and the gas manifold pressure. The manifold pressure is factory set but should be checked at the time of start-up.
Operating and Safety Instructions
1. This duct furnace does not have a pilot. It is equipped with a direct spark ignition device that automatically lights the gas burner. DO NOT try to light burners by hand.
2. BEFORE OPERATING, leak test all gas piping up to heater gas valve. Smell around the unit area for gas. DO NOT attempt to place heater in operation until source of gas leak is identified and corrected.
3. Use only hand force to push and turn the
gas control knob to the “ON” position.
NEVER use tools. If knob does not operate by hand, replace gas valve prior to staring the unit. Forcing or attempting to repair the gas valve may result in fire or explosion.
4. Do not attempt to operate unit if there is indication that any part or control has been under water. Any control or component that has been under water must be replaced prior to trying to start the unit.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WARNING
Startup
1. Turn thermostat or temperature controller to its lowest setting.
2. Turn off gas supply at the manual shut-off valve (supplied by others).
3. Turn off power to the unit at the disconnect switch.
4. Open door to unit module housing the gas heater.
5. Move gas control knob to “OFF” position.
6. Install a tapped fitting for attachment to a manometer or other gauge suitable for 14.0”
w.c. in the inlet pressure tap, and for 10.0”
w.c. in the manifold pressure tap.
7. Wait 5 minutes for any gas to clear out. If you smell gas, turn off gas supply at the manual shut-off valve (field installed). If
you don’t smell gas or have corrected any
leaks, go to the next step.
8. Turn gas control knob to “ON” position.
9. Open all manual gas valves (supplied by others).
10. Turn power on at disconnect switch.
11. Set thermostat or controller to its highest position to initiate call for heat and maintain operation of unit.
12. Draft inducer will run for a 15 to 30 second pre-purge period.
68
13. At the end of the pre-purge the direct spark will be energized and gas valve will open.
Check and Adjust Manifold Pressure
For 2 stage (TS) and modulating control (MD) systems manifold pressure should be
1.2” w.c. Adjust Lo Regulator on 2 stage gas
valve, if necessary. The controls are design to hold operation at this pressure for 2 minutes. After that time manifold pressure
should increase to 3.5” w.c.(10.0”wc for LP
gas) within 30 to 45 seconds. For On/Off units the manifold pressure should be 3.5” w.c (10.0”wc for LP gas).
Failure to Ignite
1. For the initial start-up, or after unit has been off long periods of time, the first ignition trial may be unsuccessful due to need to purge air from manifold at start-up.
2. If ignition does not occur on the first trial, the gas and spark are shut-off by the ignition control and the control enters an inter-purge period of 15 to 90 seconds, during which the draft inducer continues to run.
3. At the end of the inter-purge period, another trial for ignition will be initiated.
4. Control will initiate up to three ignition trials on a call for heat before lockout of control occurs.
5. Control can be brought out of lockout by turning thermostat or controller to its lowest position and waiting 5 seconds and then turning back up to call for heat. Some controls provided will automatically reset after one hour and initiate a call for heat.
69
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WARNING
Burner Flames
Prior to completing the start-up, check the appearance of the main burner flame. See Figure 35 - 1.2” w.c. Manifold and Figure 36 - 3.5” w.c. Manifold for flame characteristics of properly adjusted natural gas systems.
Figure 35 - 1.2” w.c. Manifold Natural Gas
Figure 36 - 3.5” w.c. Manifold Natural Gas
1. The burner flame should be predominately blue in color and well defined and centered at the tube entry as shown inFigure 35 - 1.2” w.c. Manifold and Figure 36 - 3.5” w.c. Manifold. Distorted flame or yellow tipping of natural gas flame, or a long yellow flame on propane, may be caused by lint and dirt accumulation inside burner or at burner ports, at air inlet between burner and manifold pipe, or debris in the main burner orifice. Soft brush or vacuum clean affected areas after performing Shutdown procedure.
2. Poorly defined, substantially yellow flames, or flames that appear lazy, indicate poor air supply to burners or excessive burner input. Verify gas supply type and manifold pressure with rating plate.
3. Poor air supply can be caused by obstructions or blockage in heat exchanger tubes or vent discharge pipe. Inspect and clean as necessary by to eliminate blockage. Vacuum any dirt or loose debris found in the tubes or vents. Clean heat exchanger tubes with stiff brush after performing Shutdown procedure. Poor flame characteristics can also be caused by undersized combustion air openings or flue gas recirculation into combustion air supply. Increase air opening size or re-direct flue products to prevent re­circulation.
4. Reduced air delivery can also be the result of fan blade slippage, dirt accumulation the fan blade or low voltage to draft inducer motor. Inspect draft fan assembly and be sure fan blade is secure to motor shaft. Check line voltage to heater.
Shutdown
1. Set thermostat or controller to lowest setting.
2. Turn off electrical supply to unit at disconnect switch.
3. Turn off manual gas supply (supplied by others).
4. Disconnect manifold and inlet pressure taps and re-install pipe plugs.
5. Close module door.
Normal Operation
1. Turn on electrical supply to unit at disconnect switch.
2. Turn on manual gas supply (supplied by others).
3. Set Thermostat or Temperature controller to desired temperature.
Figure 37 - Flame Sensor Current Check
Service Checks
Flame current is the current which passes through the flame from the sensor to ground. The minimum flame current necessary to keep the system from lockout is 0.7 microamps. To measure flame current, connect an analog DC microammeter to the
FC- and FC+ terminals per figure. Meter should read 0.7 uA or higher. If the meter
reads below “0” on scale, meter leads are
reversed. Disconnect power and reconnect meter leads for proper polarity.
Air Pressure Switch
An air pressure switch is provided as part of the control system to verify airflow through draft inducer by monitoring the difference in pressure between the draft inducer and the atmosphere. If sufficient negative pressure is not present, indicating lack of proper air movement through heat exchanger, the switch opens shutting off gas supply though the ignition control module. On units with two speed draft inducer operation, a dual air pressure switch is used, monitoring high and low speed pressures. The air pressure switches have fixed settings and are not adjustable.
Rollout Switch (Manual Reset)
The duct furnace is equipped with manual reset rollout switches in the event of burner flame rollout. The switch will open on temperature rise and shut-off gas supply through the ignition control module. Flame rollout can be caused by insufficient airflow for the burner firing rate (high gas pressure), blockage of the vent system or in the heat exchanger. The duct furnace should not be placed back in operation until the cause of rollout condition is identified. The rollout switch can be reset by pressing the button on the top of the switch.
High Limit Switch
The duct furnace is equipped with a fixed temperature high limit switch mounted on the vestibule panel that shuts off gas to the heater through the ignition control module in the event of reduced circulating airflow over the heat exchanger. Reduced airflow can be caused by motor failure of the circulating air blower, dirty or blocked filters or restriction

Energy Recovery Units
AAONAIRE® units have been equipped with an energy recovery wheel. This section is provided to assure the energy recovery feature will be properly setup to perform in accordance with the job specifications for your particular application.
Figure 38 - Energy Recovery Wheel
The Energy Recovery Cassette consists of a frame wheel, wheel drive system, and energy transfer segments. Segments are removable for cleaning or replacement. The segments rotate through counter flowing exhaust and outdoor air supply streams where they transfer heat and/or water vapor
from the warm, moist air stream to the cooler and/or drier air stream.
The initial setup and servicing of the energy recovery wheel is very important to maintain proper operation efficiency and building occupant comfort.
Normal maintenance requires periodic inspection of filters, the cassette wheel, drive belts, air seals, wheel drive motor, and its electrical connections.
Wiring diagrams are provided with each motor. When wired according to wiring diagram, motor rotates clockwise when viewed from the shaft/pulley side.
By carefully reviewing the information within this section and following the instructions, the risk of improper operation and/or component damage will be minimized.
It is important that periodic maintenance be performed to help assure trouble free operation.
Initial Mechanical Check and Setup
Outdoor air intake adjustments should be made according to building ventilation, or local code requirements.
After the unit installation is complete, open the cassette access door and determine that the energy wheel rotates freely when turned by hand. Apply power and observe that the wheel rotates at approximately 30 RPM. If the wheel does not rotate when power is applied, it may be necessary to readjust the “diameter air seals”.
Air Seal Adjustments
Pile type air seals across both sides of the energy wheel diameter are factory adjusted to provide close clearance between the air

Do not alter factory wiring. Deviation from the supplied wiring diagram will void all warranties, and may result in equipment damage or personal injury. Contact the factory with wiring discrepancies.
WARNING
seal and wheel. Racking of the unit or cassette during installation, and/or mounting of the unit on a non-level support or in other than the factory orientation can change seal clearances. Tight seals will prevent rotation.
Figure 39 - Cross Section of Air Seal
Structure
Wheel to Air Seal Clearance
To check wheel to seal clearance; first disconnect power to the unit, in some units the energy recovery wheel assembly can be pulled out from the cabinet to view the air seals. On larger units, the energy recovery wheel may be accessible inside the walk-in cabinet.
A business card or two pieces of paper can be used as a feller gauge, (typically each
.004” thick) by placing it between the face
of the wheel and pile seal.
Using the paper, determine if a loose slip fit exist between the pile seal and wheel when the wheel is rotated by hand.
To adjust air seal clearance, loosen all seal plate retaining screws holding the separate seal retaining plates to the bearing support channels and slide the seals plates away from the wheel. Using the paper feeler gauge, readjust and retighten one seal plate
at a time to provide slip fit clearance when the wheel is rotated by hand.
Confirm that the wheel rotates freely. Apply power to the unit and confirm rotation.
Airflow Balancing and Checking
High performance systems commonly have complex air distribution and fan systems. Unqualified personnel should not attempt to adjust fan operation, or air circulation, as all systems have unique operations characteristics. Professional air balance specialists should be employed to establish actual operating conditions, and to configure the air delivery system for optimal performance.
Controls
A variety of controls and electrical accessories may be provided with the equipment. Identify the controls on each unit by consulting appropriate submittal, or order documents, and operate according to the control manufacturer’s instructions. If you cannot locate installation, operation, or maintenance information for the specific controls, then contact your sales representative, or the control manufacturer for assistance.
Routine Maintenance and Handling
Handle cassettes with care. All cassettes should be lifted by the bearing support beam. Holes are provided on both sides of the bearing support beams to facilitate
rigging as shown in the following illustration.
Figure 40 - Lifting Hole Locations
Routine maintenance of the Energy Recovery Cassettes includes periodic cleaning of the Energy Recovery Wheel as well as inspection of the Air Seals and Wheel Drive Components as follows:
Cleaning
The need for periodic cleaning of the energy recovery wheel will be a function of operating schedule, climate and contaminants in the indoor air being exhausted and the outdoor air being supplied to the building.
The energy recovery wheel is “self­cleaning” with respect to dry particles due to its laminar flow characteristics. Smaller particles pass through; larger particles land on the surface and are blown clear as the flow direction is reversed. Any material that builds up on the face of the wheel can be removed with a brush or vacuum. The primary need for cleaning is to remove oil based aerosols that have condensed on energy transfer surfaces.
A characteristic of all dry desiccants, such films can close off micron sized pores at the surface of the desiccant material, reducing the efficiency by which the desiccant can adsorb and desorb moisture and also build up so as to reduce airflow.
In a reasonably clean indoor environment such as a school or office building, measurable reductions of airflow or loss of sensible (temperature) effectiveness may not occur for several years. Measurable changes in latent energy (water vapor) transfer can occur in shorter periods of time in applications such as moderate occupant smoking or cooking facilities. In applications experiencing unusually high levels of occupant smoking or oil based aerosols such as industrial applications involving the ventilation of machine shop areas for example, annual washing of energy transfer may be necessary to maintain latent transfer efficiency. Proper cleaning of the energy recovery wheel will restore latent effectiveness to near original performance.
To clean, gain access to the energy recovery wheel and remove segments. Brush foreign material from the face of the wheel. Wash the segments or small wheels in a 5% solution of non-acid based coil cleaner or alkaline detergent and warm water.
Soak in the solution until grease and tar deposits are loosened (Note: some staining of the desiccant may remain and is not harmful to performance). Before removing, rapidly run finger across surface of segment to separate polymer strips for better cleaning action. Rinse dirty solution from segment and remove excess water before reinstalling in wheel.
76
77
Do Not use acid based cleaners, aromatic solvents, steam or temperatures in excess of 170°F; damage to the wheel may occur!
CAUTION
Air Seals
Four adjustable diameter seals are provided on each cassette to minimize transfer of air between the counter flowing airstreams.
To adjust diameter seals, loosen diameter seal adjusting screws and back seals away from wheel surface. Rotate wheel clockwise until two opposing spokes are hidden behind the bearing support beam. Using a folded piece of paper as a feeler gauge, position paper between the wheel surface and diameter seals.
Adjust seals towards wheel surface until a slight friction on the feeler gauge (paper) is detected when gauge is moved along the length of the spoke. Retighten adjusting screws and recheck clearance with “feeler” gauge.
Wheel Drive Components
The wheel drive motor bearings are pre­lubricated and no further lubrication is necessary.
The wheel drive pulley is secured to the drive motor shaft by a combination of either a key or D slot and set screw.
The set screw is secured with removable locktite to prevent loosening. Annually confirm set screw is secure. The wheel drive belt is a urethane stretch belt designed to provide constant tension through the life of the belt. No adjustment is required. Inspect the drive belt annually for proper tracking and tension. A properly tensioned belt will
turn the wheel immediately after power is applied with no visible slippage during start­up.
Installation Considerations
Energy recovery cassettes are incorporated within the design of packaged units, packaged air handlers and energy recovery ventilators. In each case, it is recommended that the following considerations be addressed:
Accessibility
The cassette and all its operative parts; i.e.: motor, belt, pulley, bearings, seals and energy transfer segments must be accessible for service and maintenance. This design requires that adequate clearance be provided outside the enclosure.
Orientation & Support
The Energy Recovery Cassette may be mounted in any orientation. However, Care must be taken to make certain that the cassette frame remains flat and the bearing beams are not racked.
To verify, make certain that the distance between wheel rim and bearing beam is the same at each end of the bearing beam, to within 1/4 of an inch (dimension A & B). This amount of racking can be compensated for by adjusting the diameter seals.
If greater than 1/4 inch (dimension C), racking must be corrected to ensure that drive belt will not disengage from wheel.

Commissioning
The commissioning of an air conditioning system is the process of achieving, verifying, and documenting the performance of that system to meet the operational needs of the building. This may not be a formal process in smaller structures, but some form of owner acceptance will occur. Adjustments made during the commissioning phase may include air or water balancing, or configuration of controls and operational sequences.
Air Balancing
High performance systems commonly have complex air distribution and fan systems. Unqualified personnel should not attempt to adjust fan operation or air circulation, as all systems have unique operating characteristics. Professional air balance specialists should be employed to establish actual operating conditions and to configure the air delivery system for optimal performance.
Water Balancing
A hydronic specialist with a complete working knowledge of water systems, controls, and operation must be employed to properly balance the entire system. Unqualified personnel should not attempt to manipulate temperatures, pressures, or flow rates, as all systems have unique operating characteristics and improper balancing can result in undesirable noises and operation.
Controls
A variety of controls and electrical accessories may be provided with the equipment.
Identify the controls on each unit by consulting appropriate submittal and order documents, and operate according to the
control manufacturer’s instructions. If you
cannot locate installation, operation, or maintenance information for the specific controls, then contact your sales representative, or the control manufacturer, for assistance.
Operation
Immediately following building occupancy, the air conditioning system requires a maintenance schedule to assure continued successful operation. Routine maintenance of this equipment is necessary in order to provide continued efficient and reliable operation for the owner. See the
The Clean Air Act of 1990 bans the intentional venting of refrigerant
(CFC’s and HCFC’s) as of July 1,
1992. Approved methods of recovery, recycling or reclaiming must be followed. Fines and/or incarceration may be levied for non-compliance.
CAUTION
Maintenance List provided later in this manual.
Adjusting Refrigerant Charge
Adjusting the charge of a system in the field must be based on determination of liquid sub-cooling and evaporator superheat. On a system with a TXV liquid sub-cooling is more representative of the charge than evaporator superheat but both measurements must be taken.
Before Charging
Unit being charged must be at or near full load conditions before adjusting the charge.
Units equipped with hot gas reheat must be charged with the hot gas reheat valves closed while the unit is in cooling mode to get the proper charge. After charging, unit should be operated in reheat (dehumidification) mode to check for correct operation.
After adding or removing charge the system must be allowed to stabilize, typically 10-15 minutes, before making any other adjustments.
The type of unit and options determine the ranges for liquid sub-cooling and evaporator superheat. Refer to the tables below when determining the proper sub-cooling.
84
Checking Liquid Sub-Cooling
Measure the temperature of the liquid line as it leaves the condenser.
Read the gauge pressure at the liquid line close to the point where the temperature was taken. Use liquid line pressure as it will vary from discharge pressure due to condenser pressure drop.
Convert the pressure obtained to a saturated temperature using the appropriate refrigerant temperature-pressure chart.
Subtract the measured liquid line temperature from the saturated temperature to determine the liquid sub-cooling.
Compare calculated sub-cooling to the table below for the appropriate unit type and options.
Checking Evaporator Superheat
Measure the temperature of the suction line close to the compressor.
Read gauge pressure at the suction line close to the compressor.
Convert the pressure obtained to a saturated temperature using the appropriate refrigerant temperature-pressure chart.
Subtract the saturated temperature from the measured suction line temperature to determine the evaporator superheat.
Compare calculated superheat to the table below for the appropriate unit type and options.

CAUTION
Table 15 - Acceptable Air-Cooled
Refrigeration Circuit Values
DO NOT OVERCHARGE!
Table 16 - Acceptable Water-Cooled
Refrigeration Circuit Values
Adjusting Sub-Cooling and Superheat Temperatures
The system is overcharged if the sub-cooling temperature is too high and the evaporator is fully loaded (low loads on the evaporator result in increased sub-cooling) and the evaporator superheat is within the temperature range as shown in the table above (high superheat results in increased sub-cooling).
Correct an overcharged system by reducing the amount of refrigerant in the system to lower the sub-cooling.
The system is undercharged if the superheat is too high and the sub-cooling is too low
Correct an undercharged system by adding refrigerant to the system to reduce superheat and raise sub-cooling.
If the sub-cooling is correct and the superheat is too high, the TXV may need adjustment to correct the superheat. Before adjusting the TXV, verity the sensing bulb is in the correct position according to Figure 18 and follows the guidelines below.
1. The suction line is clean where the sensing bulb is attached.
2. The entire length of the sensing bulb is in contact with the suction line.
3. The sensing bulb should be placed several inched downstream of the equalizer line.
4. The sensing bulb is fully insulated.
5. If the sensing bulb is installed on a vertical portion of the suction line, the sensing bulb should be placed upstream of a suction line trap.

Maintenance
(See back of the manual for maintenance log.)
At least once each year, a trained, qualified service technician should check out the unit. Fans, evaporator coils, and filters should be inspected at least monthly.
One week after start-up:
Check operating pressures. Adjust belt tension on all fan drives. Check filters for cleanliness. Measure
pressure loss if applicable. Replace if necessary.
Check cycling of compressors, fans, and
valves. Correct unusual cycling.
Monthly:
Lubricate bearings if operating
continuously at 1500 rpm, or higher, or in other extreme conditions.
Check cleanliness of filters and replace
if necessary.
Check cooling coil drain pan to assure
proper drainage.
Inspect all coils. Clean if dirty or
obstructed in any way.
Quarterly:
Lubricate bearings if operating at 1000
rpm, or less, and in temperatures less than 150F, or other extreme conditions.
Check damper operation for freedom of
movement. Correct any binding that may occur.
Check belts and pulleys on fan drives for
tension and unusual wear.
Check operation of heating and cooling
sections.
Check inlet and outlet air temperatures.
Annually:
Clean the coils with water or non-
corrosive coil cleaner.
Clean the drain line, “P” trap, and
condensate pan.
Check refrigerant pressures and
temperatures every Spring.
Check heating section every Fall. Check
all electrical connections for tightness and check heater elements for indications of overheating.
Fan Assembly
M2 Series units use backward curved fan wheels which are non-overloading, energy efficient and easy to clean. Cleaning the wheels is necessary to reduce electrical use, maintain capacity, and reduce stress on the unit. The wheel and fan section need to be inspected periodically and cleaned of dust or debris.
To inspect and clean the blower, set thermostat to the “OFF” position. Turn the
electrical power to the unit to the “OFF”
position at the disconnect switch. Clean the assembly. Check the bearings. Inspect the belt condition and tightness. Check screws for tightness. Rotate blower wheels while listening closely to each bearing to check for noise or roughness in the bearing, which can indicate a failing bearing.
Bearings
AAON uses pre-lubricated bearings, and bearings that have been sized for an average failure rate of 50% after 200,000 hours, or
22.8 years, of operation (see heading “Lubrication” in this section for more information). The bearing sizing tables below are based on rotational speeds and radial loading. However, the alignment of the bearing to the shaft and the security of the bearing inner race to the shaft will greatly affect bearing life. Even though the manufacturer is responsible for bearing tolerances and mounting design, the
servicer is advised to regularly check the security of the bearing locking system.

Belts
Belt drive misalignment is one of the most common causes of premature belt failure. A belt can be destroyed in a matter of days if the drives have been aligned incorrectly.
The most common tool for measuring misalignment is a straightedge. Hold the straightedge flush across one pulley to gauge the degree of misalignment of the two sheaves. The maximum allowed misalignment is one half degree of angular misalignment, and 1/10th of an inch per foot between sheave centers for parallel misalignment.
Figure 47 - Angular Misalignment
Correct by moving the position of the motor.
Figure 48 - Parallel Misalignment
Correct by adjusting sheaves on one, or both shafts.
Frequent belt tensioning is highly recommended. Most belt manufacturers would suggest a re-tensioning after as little as 8 hours of operation. A simplified method of adjusting tension is to gauge the amount of force required to deflect the belt by 1/64th of an inch per inch of distance between sheave centers. For example, if the sheaves are 20 inches apart, then the amount of deflection with the forces listed below is 20/64th (5/16th) of an inch.
Deflection required for
“A” belts: 4-6 lbs. “B” belts: 6-10 lbs. “C” belts: 10-18 lbs.

Electric shock hazard. Shut off all electrical power to the unit to avoid shock hazard or injury from rotating parts.
WARNING
Indoor Coils
Indoor cooling/evaporator coils must be cleaned regularly to maintain unit efficiency and operation. Dirty evaporator coils will eventually freeze up and often result in a time consuming and expensive service call. Clean filters will help to prevent dirt from accumulating on cooling coils, however cooling coils should be cleaned at least annually by an HVAC professional.
Refrigeration Cycle
Satisfactory performance of the refrigeration cycle can be determined by measuring suction line superheat. In order to determine if refrigerant flowing from the evaporator is dry, ensure that the system has enough refrigerant to produce liquid line subcooling, but not so much to cause abnormally high condensing temperatures (and pressures). Refrigerant cycle analysis is best performed in conditions that approach the conditions where the air conditioner will be expected to operate.
Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger Cleaning
Because of a normally high degree of turbulence in brazed plate heat exchangers, for many applications the heat exchanger channels are self-cleaning. For applications that are not self-cleaning (i.e. hard water at high temperatures, etc.) or applications where additional cleaning is desired, it is possible to clean the brazed plate heat exchanger by circulating a cleaning liquid.
Use a tank with weak acid, 5% phosphoric acid (H3PO4) or, if the exchanger is frequently cleaned, 5% oxalic acid (H2C2O4). Pump the cleaning liquid through the exchanger. For optimum cleaning, the cleaning solution flow rate should be a minimum of 1.5 times the normal flow rate, preferably in a back-flush mode. After cleaning, the heat exchanger must be rinsed with clean water. A solution of 1-2% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO) before the last rinse ensures that all acid is neutralized.
90
E-Coated Coil Cleaning
Documented routine cleaning of e-coated coils is required to maintain coating warranty coverage.
Surface loaded fibers or dirt should be removed prior to water rinse to prevent restriction of airflow. If unable to back wash the side of the coil opposite of the coils entering air side, then surface loaded fibers or dirt should be removed with a vacuum cleaner. If a vacuum cleaner is not available, a soft non-metallic bristle brush may be used. In either case, the tool should be applied in the direction of the fins. Coil surfaces can be easily damaged (fin edges bent over) if the tool is applied across the fins.
Use of a water stream, such as a garden hose, against a surface loaded coil will drive the fibers and dirt into the coil. This will make cleaning efforts more difficult. Surface loaded fibers must be completely removed prior to using low velocity clean water rinse.
A monthly clean water rinse is recommended for coils that are applied in coastal or industrial environments to help to remove chlorides, dirt, and debris. It is very important when rinsing, that water temperature is less than 130°F and pressure is than 900 psig to avoid damaging the fin edges. An elevated water temperature (not to exceed 130°F) will reduce surface tension, increasing the ability to remove chlorides and dirt.
91
High velocity water from a pressure washer or compressed air should only be used at a very low pressure to prevent fin and/or coil damages. The force of the water or air jet may bend the fin edges and increase airside pressure drop. Reduced unit performance or nuisance unit shutdowns may occur.
Harsh chemicals, household bleach, or acid cleaners should not be used to clean outdoor or indoor e-coated coils. These cleaners can be very difficult to rinse out of the coil and can accelerate corrosion and attack the e-coating. If there is dirt below the surface of the coil, use the recommended coil cleaners.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Quarterly cleaning is essential to extend the life of an e-coated coil and is required to maintain coating warranty coverage.
Coil cleaning shall be part of the unit’s
regularly scheduled maintenance procedures. Failure to clean an e-coated coil will void the warranty and may result in reduced efficiency and durability.
For routine quarterly cleaning, first clean the coil with the below approved coil cleaner. After cleaning the coils with the approved cleaning agent, use the approved chloride remover to remove soluble salts and revitalize the unit.
Recommended Coil Cleaner
The following cleaning agent, assuming it is
used in accordance with the manufacturer’s
directions on the container for proper mixing and cleaning, has been approved for use on e-coated coils to remove mold, mildew,
dust, soot, greasy residue, lint and other particulate:
Enviro-Coil Concentrate, Part Number H­EC01.
Recommended Chloride Remover
CHLOR*RID DTS™ should be used to remove soluble salts from the e-coated coil, but the directions must be followed closely. This product is not intended for use as a degreaser. Any grease or oil film should first be removed with the approved cleaning agent.
Remove Barrier - Soluble salts adhere themselves to the substrate. For the effective use of this product, the product must be able to come in contact with the salts. These salts may be beneath any soils, grease or dirt; therefore, these barriers must be removed prior to application of this product. As in all surface preparation, the best work yields the best results.
Apply CHLOR*RID DTS - Apply directly onto the substrate. Sufficient product must be applied uniformly across the substrate to thoroughly wet out surface, with no areas missed. This may be accomplished by use of a pump-up sprayer or conventional spray gun. The method does not matter, as long as the entire area to be cleaned is wetted. After the substrate has been thoroughly wetted, the salts will be soluble and is now only necessary to rinse them off.
Rinse - It is highly recommended that a hose be used, as a pressure washer will damage the fins. The water to be used for the rinse is recommended to be of potable quality, though a lesser quality of water may be used if a small amount of CHLOR*RID DTS is added. Check with CHLOR*RID International, Inc. for recommendations on lesser quality rinse water.
Electric Heating
Set thermostat in the heat mode; call for heat to engage all electric heat strips. Check blower for proper rotation and voltage. Measure the amperage and voltage. Compare them to the nameplate data.
If applicable, check remote heat pump
condenser as per the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Steam or Hot Water Heating
Set thermostat in the heat mode. Observe supply blower for proper rotation and voltage. Check boiler or hot water operation
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Check control flow valves for correct operation and settings per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Cleaning
Inspect and clean unit interior at the beginning of each heating and cooling season and as operating conditions require.
Chilled Water
Check remote chiller operations as per the
manufacturer’s instructions. Check coolant
flow valves for correct operation and settings.
DX Water Source Cooling
Set unit controls to cooling mode of operation with supply fans on. Check the fan for correct operating direction, amperage, and voltage. Check compressor operation, rotation, amperage, and voltage to the unit nameplate (check the amperage on the load side of the compressor contactor).
Condensate Drain Pans
Drain pans will have moisture present and require periodic cleaning to prevent microbial growth. Cleaning of the drain pans will also prevent any possible plugging of the drain lines and overflow of the pan itself. Cleaning of the drain pans and inside of the unit should be done only by a qualified service technician.
Duct Furnace
The duct furnace should be inspected annually by a qualified service agency. The condition of the burners, heat exchanger, draft inducer, vent system, operating controls and wiring should be determined. Check for obvious signs of deterioration, accumulation of dirt and debris and any heat or water related damage. Any damaged or deteriorated parts should be replaced before the unit is put back into service. Check the automatic gas valve to insure the gas valve seat is not leaking. Check wiring connections to be sure they are secure and inspect wiring for any deterioration.
Lubrication
Most motors and bearings are permanently lubricated. Some applications may require that bearings be re-lubricated periodically. The schedule will depend on the operating duty, temperature variations, and other atmospheric conditions.
For bearings equipped with lubrication fittings, the lubrication schedule is dependent on operating temperatures and rotational speeds as shown in the table below. Lithium based grease conforming to an NLGI grade No. 2 consistency is recommended. This medium viscosity, low torque grease is rust inhibiting and water­resistant. It is satisfactory for operating temperatures in the range of –10F to 250F.
Bearings should only be re-lubricated when at normal operating temperatures and not running. Rotate the fan shaft by hand, adding only enough grease to purge the seals. A one-inch bearing has a total grease capacity of only .25 ounces. Added grease should be limited to .09 ounces.
DO NOT OVER LUBRICATE.

Phase and Brownout Protection Module
The DPM is a Digital Phase Monitor that monitors line voltages from 200VAC to 240VAC 1ɸ and 200VAC to 600VAC 3ɸ. The DPM is 50/60 Hz self-sensing. DPM should be wired according to unit specific wiring diagram include in the control compartment
When the DPM is connected to the line voltage, it will monitor the line and if everything is within the setup parameters, the output contacts will be activated. If the line voltages fall outside the setup parameters, the output relay will be de­energized after the trip delay.
Once the line voltages recover, the DPM will re-energize the output relay after the restart time delay. All settings and the last 4 faults are retained, even if there is a complete loss of power.
DPM Setup Procedure
With the supply voltage active to the
module, you can setup all of the DPM’s
settings without the line voltage connected.
To change the setpoint parameters use the right arrow key to advance forward through the setpoint parameters and the left arrow to backup if needed. When each parameter is displayed use the up/down keys to change and set the parameter.
After adjustments are made or if no adjustments are made it will take 2 to 4 minutes before the DPM energizes the output relay unless there is an out of tolerance issue with the incoming line voltage.
