FIRE, EXPLOSION OR CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Failure to replace proper controls could result in fire, explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning. Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death or property damage. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.

VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES

Do not leave VFDs unattended in hand mode or manual bypass. Damage to personnel or equipment can occur if left unattended. When in hand mode or manual bypass mode VFDs will not respond to controls or alarms.

WARNING

During installation, testing, servicing and troubleshooting of the equipment it may be necessary to work with live electrical components. Only a qualified licensed electrician or individual properly trained in handling live electrical components shall perform these tasks.

Standard NFPA-70E, an OSHA regulation requiring an Arc Flash Boundary to be field established and marked for identification of where appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) be worn, should be followed.

WARNING

ROTATING COMPONENTS

Unit contains fans with moving parts that can cause serious injury. Do not open door containing fans until the power to the unit has been disconnected and fan wheel has stopped rotating.

WARNING

GROUNDING REQUIRED

All field installed wiring must be completed by qualified personnel. Field installed wiring must comply with NEC/CEC, local and state electrical code requirements. Failure to follow code requirements could result in serious injury or death. Provide proper unit ground in accordance with these code requirements.

WARNING

Electric motor over-current protection and overload protection may be a function of the Variable Frequency Drive to which the motors are wired. Never defeat the VFD motor overload feature. The overload ampere setting must not exceed 115% of the electric motors FLA rating as shown on the motor nameplate.

CAUTION

UNIT HANDLING

To prevent injury or death lifting equipment capacity shall exceed unit weight by an adequate safety factor. Always test-lift unit not more than 24 inches high to verify proper center of gravity lift point to avoid unit damage, injury or death.

WARNING

Failure to properly drain and vent coils when not in use during freezing temperature may result in coil and equipment damage.

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

8.5, after mixing, without first using an aluminum corrosion inhibitor in the cleaning solution.

CAUTION

Some chemical coil cleaning compounds are caustic or toxic. Use these substances only in accordance with the manufacturer’s usage instructions. Failure to follow instructions may result in equipment damage, injury or death.

WARNING

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 manufacturer warranties.

Do not clean DX refrigerant coils with hot water or steam. The use of hot water or steam on refrigerant coils will cause high pressure inside the coil tubing and damage to the coil.

CAUTION

Door compartments containing hazardous voltage or rotating parts are equipped with door latches to allow locks. Door latch are shipped with nut and bolts requiring tooled access. If you do not replace the shipping hardware with a pad lock always re-install the nut & bolt after closing the door.

CAUTION

Cleaning the cooling tower or condenser water loop with harsh chemicals such as hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid), chlorine or other chlorides, can damage the refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger. Care should be taken to avoid allowing chemicals to enter the refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger. See Appendix A - Heat Exchanger Corrosion Resistance for more information.

CAUTION

OPEN LOOP APPLICATIONS

Failure of the condenser as a result of chemical corrosion is excluded from coverage under AAON Inc. warranties and the heat exchanger manufacturer’s warranties.

WARNING

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

1. Startup and service must be performed

by a Factory Trained Service Technician.

2. Use only with type of the gas approved

for the furnace. Refer to the furnace rating plate.

2.3b-2008, and ANSI Safety Standard Z83.8-2006/CSA 2.6-2006.

System should be sized in accordance with the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers Handbook.

The Clean Air Act of 1990 bans the intentional venting of refrigerant as of July 1, 1992. Approved methods of recovery, recycling or reclaiming must be followed.

CAUTION

Coils and sheet metal surfaces present sharp edges and care must be taken when working with equipment.

WARNING

Failure to observe the following instructions will result in premature failure of your system and possible voiding of the warranty.

WARNING

Installation of RQ Series units must conform to the ICC standards of the International Mechanical Code, the International Building Code, and local building, plumbing and waste water codes. In the absence of local codes installation must conform to the current (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, and Mechanical Refrigeration Code CSA B52. All appliances must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, the current National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the current Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1.

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.

CRANKCASE HEATER

OPERATION

Some units are equipped with a compressor crankcase heater, which should be energized at least 24 hours prior to cooling operation, to clear any liquid refrigerant from the compressor.

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

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.

Packaged Direct Expansion (DX) Units

DX refrigeration system is factory assembled, leak tested, charged with refrigerant and run tested.

Refrigerant system includes an evaporator, condenser, liquid line filter drier, thermal expansion valve (TXV), and scroll compressor. Compressor is equipped with a positive pressure forced lubrication system.

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 heater cannot prevent refrigerant migration into the compressor. 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 coil 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, 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.

Table 1 - Electric and Gas Heating Capacities

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 (makeup 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.
