intentional venting of refrigerant as of
July 1, 1992. Approved methods of
recovery, recycling, or reclaiming
must be followed.
Coils and sheet metal surfaces
present sharp edges and care must
be taken when working with
equipment.
Failure to observe the following
instructions will result in premature
failure of your system and possible
voiding of the warranty.
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-Longview 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
27
all doors with locks or nuts and bolts to
prevent unauthorized access.
Figure 3 - Lockable Handle
The warranty card must be completed in full
and returned to AAON not more that 3
months after unit is delivered.
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.
Packaged Direct Expansion (DX) Units
All DX refrigeration systems are factory
assembled, leak tested, charged with
refrigerant, and run tested.
All DX refrigerant systems include an
evaporator, condenser, liquid line filter
driers, thermal expansion valves (TXV) and
scroll compressors. Compressors are
equipped with a positive pressure forced
lubrication system.
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.
CRANKCASE HEATER
OPERATION
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
28
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.
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.
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.
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 55°F and 80°F.
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.
Unit should not be operated without a
p-trap. Failure to install a p-trap may
result in overflow of condensate
water.
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.

alteration, service, or maintenance
can cause property damage,
personal injury or loss of life.
Installation and service must be
performed by a trained, qualified
installer or service agency. A copy of
this IOM should be kept with the unit.
Locating Units
Verify rooftop, 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,
adjacent buildings, or equipment. If
equipment is for replacement and required
clearances are not available, contact AAON
for recommendations.
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.
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
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.
Outdoor vent opening must not be blocked
by snow. A minimum 12” curb must be used
or the vent outlet shall be greater than 12”
off the ground/roof.
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.
