CAUTION
Rotation must be checked on all
MOTORS AND COMPRESSORS of
3 phase units at startup by a qualified
service technician. Scroll
compressors are directional and can
be damaged if rotated in the wrong
direction. Compressor rotation must
be checked using suction and
discharge gauges. Fan motor rotation
should be checked for proper
operation. Alterations should only be
made at the unit power connection
CAUTION
WATER PRESSURE
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
system water piping.
WARNING
Do not use oxygen, acetylene or air
in place of refrigerant and dry
nitrogen for leak testing. A violent
explosion may result causing injury or
death.
WARNING
Always use a pressure regulator,
valves and gauges to control
incoming pressures when pressure
testing a system. Excessive pressure
may cause line ruptures, equipment
damage or an explosion which may
result in injury or death.
WARNING
To prevent damage to the unit, do not
use acidic chemical coil cleaners. Do
not use alkaline chemical coil
cleaners with a pH value greater than

Receiving Unit
When received, the unit should be checked
for damage that might have occurred in
transit. If damage is found it should be noted
on the carrier’s freight bill. A request for
inspection by carrier’s agent should be made
in writing at once. Nameplate should be
checked to ensure the correct model sizes
and voltages have been received to match
the job requirements.
If repairs must be made to damaged goods,
then the factory should be notified before
any repair action is taken in order to protect
the warranty. Certain equipment alteration,
repair, and manipulation of equipment
without the manufacturer’s consent may
void the product warranty. Contact the
AAON Warranty Department for assistance
with handling damaged goods, repairs, and
freight claims: (918) 583-2266.
Note: Upon receipt check shipment for
items that ship loose such as filters and
remote sensors. Consult order and shipment
documentation to identify potential looseshipped items. Loose-shipped items may
have been placed inside unit cabinet for
security. Installers and owners should secure
all doors with locks or nuts and bolts to
prevent unauthorized access.
25
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 MINIMUM OFF TIME
To prevent motor overheating
compressors must cycle off for a
minimum of 5 minutes.
5 MINUTE MINIMUM 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
Figure 1 - Lockable Handle
The warranty card must be completed in full
and returned to AAON not more than 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.
26
Packaged Direct Expansion (DX) Units
All DX refrigeration systems are factory
assembled, leak tested, charged with
refrigerant, and run tested.
All 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.
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.
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.
Note: Low Ambient Operation
Air-cooled DX units without a low ambient
option, such as condenser fan cycling 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.

FOR YOUR SAFETY
Read the entire gas heating
installation section of this manual
before beginning installation of the
gas heating section.
If you do not follow these instructions
exactly, a fire or explosion may result
causing property damage, personal
injury, or loss of life.
WARNING
Total Wire Distance Allowable =
(Quantity of Control Wires) x
(Control Wire Distance)
Take the total wire distance allowable and
divide by the quantity 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 8, 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.

After verifying gas inlet pressure and
manifold pressure the service technician
must time the gas flow rate through the gas
meter with a stopwatch to verify the gas
input rate.
Unit nameplate input rate value has been
calculated at the altitude where the unit was
shipped. Above 2,000 ft the input rate is
adjusted 4% for every 1,000 ft.
Table 14 - Natural Gas (ft3/hr) Maximum Piping Capacities
Specific Gravity = 0.6, Supply Pressure ≤ 0.5 psi, Pressure Drop = 0.5” w.c.
Figure 30 - RN Series Gas Heat Exchanger
Table 15 - Propane (kBtu/hr) Maximum Piping Capacities
Heater should be disconnected from
the gas supply piping during pressure
testing of the supply piping system
with pressures in excess of ½ psi. Gas
valves can be damaged if subjected to
more than ½ psi.
CAUTION
Do not use gas piping smaller than unit gas
connections. Natural gas pipe runs longer
than 20 feet and propane gas pipe runs
longer than 50 feet may require a larger
supply pipe than the unit connection size.
Some utility companies may also require
pipe sizes larger than the minimum sizes
listed.
Piping Sizing Examples
A 100 ft pipe run is needed for a 1080 MBH
natural gas heater. The natural gas has a
rating of 1000 Btu/ft3 and a specific gravity
of 0.6 (Obtain these values from the local
gas supplier.)
From the natural gas maximum capacities
table, at 100 ft and 1080 ft3/hr the required
minimum pipe size is 2”.
A 100 ft pipe run is needed for a 270 MBH
propane gas heater.
270 MBH = 270 kBtu/hr
From the propane gas maximum capacities
table, at 100 ft and 270 kBtu/hr the required
minimum pipe size is 1”.
Inlet and Manifold Pressures
For natural gas units, the minimum inlet gas
pressure to the unit is 6” w.c. and maximum
inlet gas pressure to the unit is 10.5” w.c.
For propane units, the minimum inlet gas
pressure to the unit is 11” w.c. and the
maximum inlet gas pressure to the unit is
13” w.c.A field provided 1/8” NPT pressure
tap is required to be installed in the piping
just upstream of the shutoff valve for test
gage connection to allow checking of the
gas supply pressure at the unit.
A factory installed pressure tap on the outlet
end of the gas valve can be used to verify a
54
1080 ft3/hr
manifold pressure of 3.5” w.c. for natural
gas, or 10.5” w.c. for propane.
Gas Pressure Regulator & Overpressure
Protection Device
A gas pressure regulator must be installed if
natural gas supply pressure to the unit is
greater than 10.5” w.c. and less than 2 psi
(55.4” w.c.) and if propane gas supply
pressure is greater than 13” w.c. and less
than 2 psi (55.4” w.c.). Regulators must
comply with the latest edition of the
Standard for Line Pressure Regulators,
ANSI Z21.80/CSA 6.22.
Both a gas pressure regulator and
overpressure protection device (OPD) must
be installed if gas supply pressure to the unit
is greater than 2 psi (55.4” w.c.) and less
than 5 psi (138.4” w.c.), in compliance with
ANSI Z21.80/CSA 6.22. For proper heater
operation, pressure to the regulator MUST
NOT be greater than 5 psi (138.4” w.c.).
Piping Supports
Gas supply piping must be supported
directly at the connection to the unit and at
intervals listed in the following table with
metal straps, blocks, or hooks. Piping should
not be strained or bent.

Additional Gas Piping Considerations
Local codes will usually require a field
provided and installed manual main shutoff
valve and union external to the unit. Main
shutoff valve should be labeled. A drip leg
should be installed near the unit connection
to trap sediment and condensate. Pipe joint
compounds used on all gas piping
connections should be resistant to liquid
petroleum gases. If flexible gas piping to the
unit, or in the unit, must be replaced
connectors cannot be reused, only new
connectors may be used.
Heat exchanger comes equipped with a
condensate drain which should be plumbed
to the appropriate drain according to the
(United States) National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI-Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the current
(Canada) National Fuel & Propane
Installation Code CSA B149.1 or B149.2,
the International Building Code, and any
applicable local and regional codes and
regulations.
The condensate drain connection is located
next to the gas entry location. For 6-50, 60
and 70 ton units, the heat exchanger
condensate drain connection from the unit is
a 5/8” barbed nylon elbow connection. For
55, 65 and 75-140 ton units, the heat
exchanger condensate drain connection from
the unit is a 1/2” PVC connection. For 55,
65 and 75-140 ton units, the heat exchanger
condensate drain can be tied into the
evaporator condensate drain, if code allows.
55
Do not use open flame or other
source of ignition for leak testing. Fire
or explosion could result causing
property damage, personal injury, or
death.
DANGER
LEAK CHECK GAS PIPE
The gas pipe in the unit should be
checked for leaks before startup.
Leak checking is the responsibility of
the installing contractor. All
connections should be checked for
leaks annually after installation.
Failure to leak check could result in
fire, explosion, or other hazardous
situations.
DANGER
Some soaps used for leak detection
can be corrosive to certain metals.
Rinse piping thoroughly after leak
test has been completed.
CAUTION
Figure 31 - Example 6-25 and 30 ton through the Base Gas Piping
Leak Testing
All components of gas supply system,
including manual shut off valves and the
piping in the interior of the unit, should be
leak tested with a soap solution before
operating the appliance and at least on an
annual basis thereafter.
56
Those sensitive to odors or gases
from trace amounts of residual oils
should NOT be present in the
conditioned space during the startup
of a gas fired installation.
WARNING
All gas fired heat exchangers are completely
tested at the factory before shipment. This
will remove nearly all of the oils that have
been used in the manufacturing process.
However, trace amounts may remain. When
performing the initial startup at the jobsite, it
is highly recommended that people or any
other living animals, which may be sensitive
to the residual odors or gases, NOT be
present in the conditioned space during the
startup. In all cases, including the initial
factory firing and testing, any of the gases
will be under the acceptable level of
concentration for human occupancy.
57
OPEN LOOP APPLICATIONS
SMO 254 brazed plated refrigerantto-water heat exchangers are
recommended with all open loop
applications. Failure to use a SMO
254 heat exchanger may result in
premature failure of your system and
possible voiding of the warranty.

CAUTION
WATER FREEZING
Failure of the condenser due to
freezing will allow water to enter the
refrigerant circuit and will cause
extensive damage to the refrigerant
circuit components. Any damage to
the equipment as a result of water
freezing in the condenser is excluded
from coverage under AAON
warranties and the heat exchanger

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.
Failure of the condenser due to freezing will
allow water to enter the refrigerant circuit
and will cause extensive damage to the
refrigerant circuit components. Any damage
to the equipment as a result of water
freezing in the condenser is excluded from
coverage under AAON warranties and the
heat exchanger manufacturer warranties.
Unit is capable of operating with Entering
Water Temperatures (EWT) as low as 57°F,
during the cooling mode, without the need
for head pressure control. If the EWT is
expected to be lower than 57°F or a more
stable operation is desired, a factory
provided head pressure control water valve
option is available.
Glycol solution should be used if ambient
temperatures are expected to fall below
freezing or if the loop entering water
temperature to the unit 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 and also
results in a decrease in unit performance. A
minimum concentration of 20% glycol
solution is recommended.
Table 17 - Glycol Freezing Points
Water loop piping runs through unheated
areas or outside the building should be
insulated.

WATER PRESSURE
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
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.
CAUTION
unit can operate without damaging unit
components.
Table 18 - Standard Brazed Plate Heat
Exchanger Water Connections
Table 19 - SMO 254 Brazed Plate Heat
Exchanger Water Connections
Only use approved water pipe material.
Avoid using galvanized material for water
lines/fittings as the material is corrosive and
may cause fouling of the water system.
60
Condenser water pump must be field sized
and installed between the cooling
tower/geothermal loop and self-contained
unit. System should be sized in accordance
with the ASHRAE Handbook. Use
engineering guidelines to maintain equal
distances for supply and return piping and
limit bend radiuses to maintain balance in
the system. Balancing valves, permanent
thermometers and gauges may be required.
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 makeup 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
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
Installing contractor is responsible for
properly sizing and installing water
system components. Improper fluid
flow due to valves, piping, or
improper pump operation may result
in unacceptable unit operation and
void warranty.
CAUTION
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and CPVC
(Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) are
vulnerable to attack by certain
chemicals. Polyolester (POE) oils

NOTE: Ball valves should be installed in
the condenser water supply and return lines
for unit isolation and water flow balancing.
All manual flow valves should be of the ball
valve design. Globe or gate valves should
not be used due to high pressure drops and
poor throttling characteristics.
Pressure and temperature ports are
recommended in condenser water supply
and return lines for system balancing. These
openings should be 5 to 10 pipe diameters
from the unit water connections. To allow
for mixing and temperature stabilization,
wells in the water piping should extend at
least ½ pipe diameter into the pipe.
Piping systems should not exceed 10 ft/sec
fluid velocity to ensure tube wall integrity
and reduce noise.
Condensate Drain Piping
6-25 and 30 ton units are equipped with one
condensate drain pan connection, on the
right side of the unit, and are furnished with
a p-trap for field installation. 26 and 31-140
ton units are equipped with two condensate
drain connections, one on the left side of the
unit and one on the right side of the unit, and
are furnished with two p-traps for field
installation.
All drain connections must be used and
individually trapped to ensure a minimum
amount of condensate accumulation in the
drain pans. ABS type cement should be used
to join the drain pipe connections.
Drainage of condensate directly onto the
roof may be acceptable in certain areas, refer
to local codes. If condensate is to drain
directly onto the roof a small drip pad
should be placed below the drain to protect
the roof from possible damage.
If condensate is piped into the building
drainage system, the drain pipe should

condensate drain piping.
Condensate drain trapping and piping should
conform to all applicable governing codes.
Heating Coils
One or two row hot water and steam heating
and preheating coils can be factory installed.
All valve controls for heating operation are
field supplied and field installed. Hot water
and steam coil connections are spun copper
tube.
Water coils should not be subjected to
entering air temperatures below 38°F to
prevent coil freeze-up. If air temperature
across the coil is going to be below this
value, use a glycol solution to match the
coldest air expected.

WARNING
Electric Preheat
The modulating electric preheat option is
designed to temper the incoming outside air
to the unit based on an enable control signal
and the outside air conditions.
A 24VAC enable signal must be provided to
the [PHE] terminal to enable the operation
of the electric preheat. Once the preheat
controller is enabled it will monitor the
outside air temperature to determine if any
capacity of preheat is needed. If the outside
air temperature falls below the outside air
temperature setpoint the electric preheat will
be started up and maintain the leaving air
temperature setpoint with both SCR
controlled and staged electric preheat. Both
setpoints are set with push button LCD
interface on the preheat controller. Outside
air temperature sensors and preheat
discharge supply air temperature sensors are
factory installed and wired to the preheat
controller. Electric preheat has maximum
operating outside air temperature of 60°F
and a maximum preheat discharge air
temperature of 80°F.
[COM], [PHO] & [PHC] feedback terminals
are provided to communicate if the electric
preheat is in operation. PHO is a normally
open contact, PHC is a normally closed
contact, and COM is the common. These
terminals are not required to be connected.
[PHE] is the electric preheat operation
enable. [PH+] and [PH-] are the preheat set
point reset terminals.
Energy Recovery Units
General Information
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.
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
63
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 units equipped with outside air
intake will have an outside air hood. The
outside air hood must be opened prior to unit
operation.
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
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.
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.
64
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
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.
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 “self-cleaning” 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
65
Do Not use acid based cleaners,
aromatic solvents, steam or
temperatures in excess of 170°F;
damage to the wheel may occur!
CAUTION
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.
66
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.

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. Where cassettes are
permanently installed in a cabinet, access to
both sides of the cassette must be provided.
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.
Operation
Startup Procedure
1. By hand, turn wheel clockwise (as viewed
from the pulley side), to verify wheel turns
freely through 360º rotation.
2. Before applying power to drive motor,
confirm wheel segments are fully engaged in
wheel frame and segment retainers are
completely fastened. (See Segment
Installation Diagram).
3. With hands and objects away from
moving parts, activate unit and confirm
wheel rotation. Wheel rotates clockwise (as
viewed from the pulley side).
4. If wheel has difficulty starting, turn power
off and inspect for excessive interference
between the wheel surface and each of the
four (4) diameter seals. To correct, loosen
diameter seal adjusting screws and back
adjustable diameter seals away from surface
of wheel, apply power to confirm wheel is
free to rotate, then re-adjust and tighten hub
and diameter seals, as shown in hub seal
adjustment diagram.
5. Start and stop wheel several times to
confirm seal adjustment and to confirm belt
is tracking properly on wheel rim
(approximately 1/4” from outer edge of
rim).
Avoid Racking of Cassette Frame
67
Disconnect electrical power before
servicing energy recovery cassette.
Always keep hands away from
bearing support beam when installing
or removing segments. Failure to do
so could result in severe injury to
fingers or hand.

Electric shock hazard. Shut off all
electrical power to the unit to avoid
shock hazard or injury from rotating
parts.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
Startup
(See back of the manual for startup form.)
During startup, it is necessary to perform
routine checks on the performance of the
unit. This includes checking the air flow, air
filters, condenser water flow, dampers,
heaters, and refrigerant charge.
Supply Fans
RN Series units are equipped with direct
drive backward curved plenum fan
assemblies that are selected to deliver the air
volume specified according to unit size and
job requirements. This is either done with air
volume bands in the blower wheels or with
variable frequency drives. Field airflow
adjustment may be required at startup.
Air volume bands for the wheels are sized
according to the unit’s air delivery
specifications and can also be ordered from
the factory for field installation. Wheels
come standard with a 10% air volume band,
as a safety factor, in case additional air
volume is required from the unit.
Air Flow Adjustment
If reduced air volume is required an air
volume band or larger air volume band can
be installed within the blower wheel to
reduce the amount of air delivered by the
wheel.
If the unit is factory equipped with the air
volume band and additional air volume is
required, the band can be removed from the
wheel.
Use fan program in AAON ECat to
determine the new band size for the required
cfm and static pressure.
The following photos of a 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 venture,
which may require removal of the blower
motor and wheel.
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 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.

pattern to 6.7 ft-lbs. of torque.
Step 6: Install the fan in the unit.
After placing the fan on the shaft, place the
key in the shaft, make sure the screw on the
bushing is aligned over the key and then
tighten the screw to 9 ft-lbs torque.
Filters
Do not operate the unit without filters in
place. Unit should be checked for correct
filter placement during startup. Operation of
the equipment without filters will result in a
clogged evaporator coil.
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.
75
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
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.
Units equipped with heat pump options
should be charged in heating mode to get the
proper charge. After charging, unit should
be operated in cooling mode to check for
correct charge. Charge may need to be
adjusted for cooling mode. If adjustments
are made in the cooling mode heating mode
must be rerun to verify proper 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 table below when
determining the proper sub-cooling.
Checking Liquid Sub-Cooling
Measure the temperature of the liquid line as
it leaves the condenser coil.
76
Read the gauge pressure at the liquid line
close to the point where the temperature was
taken. You must use liquid line pressure as it
will vary from discharge pressure due to
condenser coil 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

DO NOT OVERCHARGE!
Refrigerant overcharging leads to
excess refrigerant in the condenser
coils resulting in elevated compressor
discharge pressure.
CAUTION
Thermal expansion valve must be
adjusted to approximately 8-15°F of
suction superheat. Failure to have
sufficient superheat will damage the
compressor and void the warranty.
CAUTION
Table 25 - Acceptable 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.

Condenser Fan Electronically
Commutated Motor (ECM) Startup
The fan cycling option uses a fan cycle
switch to switch between one of the discrete
speed inputs (see Table 27) on the motor
thus cycling between two preset speeds
based upon discharge pressure of the unit.
By connecting 24VAC to a single or
combination of the yellow, white, or orange
wires, the motor will run at the discrete
speeds in Table 27.
With Customer Provided Unit Controls or
WattMaster Unit Controls the WattMaster
Condenser Head Pressure Module is used
for variable speed control of the motor to
maintain a head pressure. The motor should
be factory wired to the PWM outputs of the
Table 27 - ECM Condenser Fan Cycling Options
WattMaster Condenser Head Pressure
Module. See WattMaster literature for
further information.
(http://www.orioncontrols.com)
With JENEsys Unit Controls the controller
modulates the ECM to maintain head
pressure.

VFD Controlled Condenser Fan Startup
With Customer Provided Unit Controls the
VFD’s are factory provided and factory
programmed. VFD’s receives input from
pressure transducers on each refrigerant
circuit and vary the fan speed based on the
pressure inputs to maintain a discharge
(head) pressure. Standard pressure setpoint
is 340 psi for standard air-cooled systems
and 400 psi for modulating hot gas reheat
air-cooled systems.
With WattMaster Unit Controls the
WattMaster Condenser Head Pressure
Module is used to maintain a discharge
pressure. The VFD should be factory wired
to the outputs of the WattMaster Condenser
Head Pressure Module. See WattMaster
literature for additional information.
(http://www.orioncontrols.com).
With JENEsys Unit Controls the controller
directly modulates the VFD to maintain a
discharge pressure.

COMPRESSOR CYCLING
5 MINUTE MINIMUM OFF TIME
To prevent motor overheating
compressors must cycle off for a
minimum of 5 minutes.
5 MINUTE MINIMUM 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
Operation
Unit operations should be controlled with
thermostat, or unit controller, never at the
main power supply, except for servicing,
emergency, or complete shutdown of the
unit.
Thermostat Operation
Heating
Thermostat system switch - "Heat"
Thermostat fan switch - "Auto" or "On"
Thermostat temperature set to desired point.
Cooling
Thermostat system switch - "Cool"
Thermostat fan switch - "Auto" or "On"
Thermostat temperature set to desired point.
Air Circulation
Thermostat system switch - "Off"
Thermostat fan switch - "Auto" or "On"
No change of the thermostat temperature.
With these settings, the supply blower will
run continuously but the supply air will not
be heated, cooled, or dehumidified.
System Off
Thermostat system switch - "Off"
Thermostat fan switch - "Auto"
No change of the thermostat temperature.
With these settings the system is shut down,
with the exception of control system power.
Night and Weekend Unoccupied Operation
To reduce the operating time of the unit
when the space is unoccupied, such as nights
and weekends, it is recommended that the
temperature setting be raised about 5°F
while unoccupied during the cooling season
and lowered about 10°F during the heating
season.
82
Packaged DX Cooling Operation and
Control
When a call for cooling (G and Y1, Y2, etc.)
is made the supply blower motors and
compressors will energize.
Gas Heater Operation
When heat (G and W1, W2, etc.) is called
for the combustion motor starts and the
ignition control is energized. The control
sends 24 VAC to the main gas valve and
high voltage to the igniter. If a burner flame
has been detected within 10 seconds, the
spark is extinguished and the flame
continues. If a flame has not been detected
after 10 seconds, the gas valve closes, the
spark ceases and the induced draft blower
continues to purge the heat exchanger. After
45 seconds of purge, the ignition system will
attempt to light the burners again. Should no
flame be detected after 3 tries, the ignition
control will lock out the system. Power to
the ignition control must be cycled to reset
the heater control.
On a fault the gas train is shut down by a
main limit located in the heat exchanger area
or by an auxiliary limit mounted in the
supply fan compartment.
Electric Heating Operation
When a call for heating (G and W1, W2,
etc.) is made the supply blower motors and
electric resistance heaters will energize.
Heating is accomplished by passing
electrical current through a specified amount
of resistance heaters which will produce the
required heat.
On a fault condition the main limit located
in the supply air or the auxiliary limit
located downstream the supply blower will
remove power from all contactors.
Steam or Hot Water Preheating and
Heating Operation
Valve control for steam and hot water
heating coils are by others. Heating is
accomplished by passing steam or hot water
through the steam or hot water coil
assembly.
Modulating Electric Preheat
Electric preheat is used to temper the
incoming outside air to the unit based on an
enable control signal and outside air
conditions. Electric preheat has a maximum
operation outside air temperature of 60°F
and a maximum preheat discharge air
temperature of 80°F.
Chilled Water or Non-Compressorized
DX Cooling Operation
Controls for chilled water cooling coils and
non-compressorized DX coil are by others.
83
Once a year, before the unit is in
operation for the heating season, a
qualified service technician should
inspect all flue product carrying areas
of the furnace and main burners for
continued safe operation.
WARNING
LEAK CHECK GAS PIPE
The gas pipe in the unit should be
checked for leaks before startup.
Leak checking is the responsibility of
the installing contractor. All
connections should be checked for
leaks annually after installation.
Failure to leak check could result in
fire, explosion, or other hazardous
situations.
DANGER
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.
Gas Heating
Make sure all gas supply lines have been
purged of air before turning on the electrical
power switch. Turn the gas valve to the on
position (see startup instructions). Turn the
main electrical power on and set the controls
to the heating mode of operation.
The combustion ventilation motor should
operate. The control will automatically
supply energy to the igniter and the gas
valve after the heating call is made.
84
The flame sensing probe detects the
presence of the flame. Should no flame be
detected in 10 seconds, the ignition system
will recycle. If no flame is detected after 3
tries, ignition system will lockout.
Remove the call for heating. The main gas
valves should be extinguished.
The supply fans are controlled by the
ignition system. In the fan “Auto” mode the
fan comes on 45 seconds after the flame is
proved and goes off 120 seconds after the
heating call is removed.
Furnace combustion ventilation air and flue
openings should be checked annually for
debris and obstructions. If vent extensions
are used they must meet category III
requirements.
This appliance contains a wire screen at the
vent outlet. Each heating season, prior to
placing the appliance in heat mode
maintenance check that no debris or foreign
matter has accumulated in the vent outlet. A
good practice is to check for debris each
time the air filters are changed.
In the event the vent outlet becomes blocked
do not attempt to start the appliance in heat
mode until the entire vent opening is
cleared.
In the event the unit shut down because the
vent was blocked a qualified technician or
service agency should monitor the unit prior
to re-starting.
The gas burner and heat exchanger should
never require cleaning. If cleaning is
necessary, this indicates faulty operation of
the unit. Cleaning should only be done by a
qualified service agency and only after
consultation with an AAON service
representative.
Electric shock hazard. Shut off all
electrical power to the unit to avoid
shock hazard or injury from rotating
parts.
WARNING
LEAK CHECK GAS PIPE
The gas pipe in the unit should be
checked for leaks before startup.
Leak checking is the responsibility of
the installing contractor. All
connections should be checked for
leaks annually after installation.
Failure to leak check could result in

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 qualified
service technician.
Electric shock hazard. Shut off all
electrical power to the unit to avoid
shock hazard or injury from rotating
parts.
WARNING
Evaporator Coil (6-25 and 30 ton)
Removal
Evacuate refrigerant from the systems.
Remove the TXV bulbs from the suction
lines. Disconnect the suction and liquid line
copper connections to the evaporator coil.
Figure 45 - Evaporator Coil Access
Remove the screws attaching the filter rack
to the evaporator coil blank-off panels at the
door opening and along the top of the coil.
Remove the screws attaching the filter rack
to the back wall. Angle filter rack away
from coil so it fits through the door opening.
It may be necessary to remove economizer
damper assembly.
Remove screws attaching access side, back,
and top blank-off panels to the evaporator
coil and the unit.
Angle the coil so that it fits through the door
opening.
Remove the evaporator coil.
Reinstallation
Install the coil in the unit drain pan. There
should be about a 1/4” gap between the
upstream side of the coil and the back of the
drain pan.
Secure the coil to the back wall of the unit
with the blank-off panel. Attach the top and
access side blank-off panels to the coil.
Attach the filter rack to the back, top, and
access side coil blank-off panels upstream of
the coil. Reinstall economizer damper
assembly if necessary.
Connect the suction and liquid copper
connections to the evaporator coil. Reinstall
the TXV bulbs on the suction lines.
Evacuate the refrigerant systems. Weigh in
the nameplate refrigerant charge.
See Adjusting Refrigerant Charge section to
check for proper sub-cooling and superheat
of the refrigerant systems.
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
87
Electric shock hazard. Shut off all
electrical power to the unit to avoid
shock hazard or injury from rotating
parts.
WARNING
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.
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.
CAUTION
CAUTION
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.
E-Coated Coil Cleaning
Documented routine cleaning of e-coated
coils is required to maintain coating
warranty coverage for fin and tube and
microchannel coils.
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
88
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.
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
Detergents or coil cleaners are not
recommended with microchannel
condenser coils. Use pressurized
clean water, with pressure not to
exceed 140 psi. Nozzle should be 6”
and 80° to 90° from coil face. Failure
to do so could result in coil damage.
CAUTION
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 RemoverCHLOR*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.
Microchannel Coil Cleaning
Documented routine cleaning of
microchannel coils with factory provided ecoating is required to maintain coating
warranty coverage. See E-Coated Coil
Cleaning section.
Air-cooled heat exchangers may include
microchannel coils. Only clean water is
recommended for cleaning microchannel
coils. The water pressure used to clean
should not exceed 140 psi, from no closer
than 3 inches from the coils, and with the
water aimed perpendicular to the coils.
Only clean water is recommended for
cleaning microchannel coils. However, if solutions are mandatory to clean the unit, a
cleaning solution with a pH between 5 and 9
that does not contain chlorides, sulfates,
copper, iron, nickel, or titanium is required.
Field applied coil coatings are not
recommended with microchannels.

Electric shock hazard. Shut off all
electrical power to the unit to avoid
shock hazard or injury from rotating
parts.
WARNING
Blower wheels and bands must be
inspected for excessive dust build up
periodically and cleaned if required.
Excessive dust build up on blower
wheels may cause an unbalanced
state; leading to vibration and/or
component failure. Damages due to
excessive dust build up will not be
covered under factory warranty.
CAUTION
Supply Fans
Lubrication
All original fan motors and bearings are
furnished with factory lubrication. Some
applications will require that bearings be relubricated periodically. The schedule will
depend on the operating duty, temperature
variations or other severe atmospheric
conditions.
Bearings should be re-lubricated when at
normal operating temperatures, but not
running. Rotate the fan shaft by hand and
add only enough grease to purge the seals.
DO NOT OVERLUBRICATE.
Recommended greases are:
SHELL OIL - DOLIUM R
CHEVRON OIL - SRI No. 2
TEXACO INC. - PREMIUM RB
Removal (6-25 and 30 tons)
Remove fan access panel. Panel is attached
with eight 3/8” bolts.

Remove the wire connections from
Auxiliary Limit Switch (if applicable) which
is mounted in the brace at the fan opening.
Remove the brace located at the fan
opening.
Remove the six bolts that connect the motor
mount to the blower frame. Two bolts are on
the angle on the back of the motor mount
box, two are on the bottom inside the motor
mount box and two are on the inside front of
the motor mount box.

used to help accomplish this. Use the pry
slots on the back side of the motor mount.
Pull the motor mount to the edge of the
blower frame at the opening.
Remove the motor mount with the motor
and blower wheel attached. Large motors
will require more than one person.
Care must be taken not to damage the
compressors or refrigerant lines when
removing the motor and fan assembly.
Phase and Brownout Protection
Voltage monitor should be wired according
to unit specific wiring diagram include in
the control compartment.
Before applying power to the unit the
voltage monitor should be set up. The three
knobs on the front of the monitor should be
adjusted.
Figure 48 - Voltage Monitor
Adjust the top knob labeled LINE VOLT to
the operating voltage. This should be the
operating voltage for the equipment and the
measured voltage on the single or three
phase lines.
Adjust the knob labeled %± to either
SINGLE PHASE on the left side of the dial
or 3 PHASE on the right side of the dial.
After selecting single or three phase set the
knob to the percentage of Over or Under
voltage desired. A typical over and under
voltage percentage is 10%.
Adjust the bottom knob labeled RESTART
DELAY. For automatic restart after
recovery of voltage select from 2 seconds up
to 5 minutes. After recovery of line voltage
this is how long the monitor will wait before
energizing the output relay. For manual reset
adjust the knob fully clockwise to MR. After
recovery of line voltage the MANUAL
RESET button located between the 2 LEDs
must be pressed.
Now that the settings have been made, you
can apply the supply and line voltages to the
monitor. The monitor will only operate
when the supply voltage is available.
On power up, with the line voltage and the
supply voltage applied, the monitor takes 3
to 10 seconds to evaluate the line voltage,
compare that voltage to the knob settings
and then energize if all parameters are
satisfied or will remain off if any operating
parameter is incorrect.
All of the knob adjustments are adjustable
after power up, except the voltage range will
not change and going from single or three
phase to the other will not change (i.e.
within 440 to 480 VAC, but not to 208 or
230 VAC).
