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
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
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
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
Failure to properly drain and vent coils when not in use during freezing temperature may result in coil and equipment damage.
CAUTION
7
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.
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.
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
WARNING
CAUTION
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
Do not work in a closed area where refrigerant or nitrogen gases may be leaking. A sufficient quantity of vapors may be present and cause injury or death.
WARNING
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
8
Some chemical coil cleaning compounds are caustic or toxic. Use these substances only in accordance with the manufacturers usage instructions. Failure to follow instructions may result in equipment damage, injury or death.
WARNING
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 the condenser water loop with harsh chemicals, such as hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) or chlorine, can damage the water-cooled condenser. Care should be taken to avoid allowing chemicals to enter the water-cooled condenser. 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
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.
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
9

General Information

SA Series self contained units and indoor air handling units have been designed for indoor installation only. SA Series units can contain spring isolated direct drive backward curved plenum fans, shell and tube or brazed plate water-cooled condensers, R-410A scroll compressors, evaporator coils, chilled water cooling coils, steam or hot water heating coils, waterside economizers, and a single point power connection. Units are assembled, wired, charged and run-tested at the factory. SA Series units are not intended for residential use.

Codes and Ordinances

SA Series units have been tested and certified, by ETL, in accordance with UL Safety Standard 1995/CSA C22.2 No. 236.
System should be sized in accordance with the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers Handbook.
Installation of units must conform to the ICC standards of the International Mechanical Code, the International Building Code, Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems Standard, NFPA 90A, and local building, plumbing and waste water codes. All appliances must be
16
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.
CRANKCASE HEATER
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

Storage

If installation will not occur immediately following delivery, store equipment in a dry protected area away from construction traffic and in the proper orientation as marked on the packaging with all internal packaging in place. Secure all loose-shipped items.

Direct Expansion (DX) Systems

All water-cooled condenser DX systems are factory assembled, leak tested, charged with R-410A refrigerant, and run tested.
All DX systems include evaporator coils, liquid line filter dryers, thermostatic expansion valves (TXV), and scroll compressors. Compressors are equipped with a positive pressure forced lubrication system.
Never turn off the main power supply to the unit, except for servicing, emergency, or complete shutdown of the unit. When power is cut off from the unit crankcase heaters cannot prevent refrigerant migration into the compressors. This means the compressor may cool down and liquid refrigerant may accumulate in the compressor. The compressor is designed to pump refrigerant gas and damage may occur when power is restored.
If power to the unit must be off for more than an hour, turn the thermostat system switch to "OFF", or turn the unit off at the control panel, and leave the unit off until the main power switch has been turned on again for at least 24 hours for units with compressor crankcase heaters. This will give the crankcase heater time to clear any liquid accumulation out of the compressor before it is started.
Always control the unit from the thermostat, or control panel, never at the main power supply, except for emergency or complete shutdown of the unit.
During the cooling season, if the airflow 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

CAUTION
concentration builds up, oil is washed out of the compressor, leaving it starved for lubrication.
The compressor life will be seriously shortened by reduced lubrication and the pumping of excessive amounts of liquid oil and refrigerant.

Wiring Diagrams

Unit specific wiring diagrams are laminated and affixed inside the controls compartment door.

Condensate Drain Pans

Units require drain p-traps and lines to be connected to the condensate drain pans of the unit. The lines should be the same pipe size or larger than the drain connection, include a p-trap, and pitch downward toward drain. An air break should be used with long runs of condensate lines.
Table 1 - SA Series Models
Waterside economizer coil units include a separate condensate drain pan which drains into the evaporator coil drain pan. No additional drain line is needed for the waterside economizer drain pan.

Unit Size

Units are modular and composed of combination of the four standard unit sizes, SA-023, SA-028, SA-030, and SA-035.

Installation

Locating the Unit

Placement of the unit relative to ductwork, electrical and plumbing must be carefully considered. Return air plenum or duct can be mounted directly to the return air flanges. Use flexible gasket material to seal the duct to the unit.

Verify floor or foundation can support the total unit weight, including accessory weights. Unit must be level in both horizontal axes to support the unit and reduce noise and vibration from the unit.
Allow adequate service clearances as shown on the unit nameplate and unit drawing.
UNIT HANDLING
Incorrect lifting can cause damage to the unit, injury or death. Lifting equipment capacity should exceed unit weight by an adequate safety factor. Always test lift unit not more than 24 inches high to verify proper center of gravity lift point.
WARNING
Consult your local building codes for additional service clearance requirements.
Allow adequate space for piping access and panel removal. Condenser water piping and condensate drain connections are near the bottom on the back of the unit.

Lifting and Handling the Unit

Before lifting unit, be sure that all shipping material has been removed from unit.
If cables or chains are used to hoist the unit care should be taken to prevent damage to the cabinet.
Secure hooks and cables at the all lift points provided near the fan section at the top of the unit.
