SHIPPING DAMAGE

Upon receipt of equipment, the carton should be
checked for external signs of shipping damage. If
damage is found, the receiving party must contact the
last carrier immediately, preferably in writing,
requesting inspection by the carrier’s agent.

GENERAL

The equipment covered in this manual is to be installed
by trained, experienced service and installation
technicians.

The refrigerant system is completely assembled and
charged. All internal wiring is complete.

The unit is designed for use with or without duct work.
Flanges are provided for attaching the supply and return
ducts.

4.41005025.21063512.757402

These instructions explain the recommended method to
install the air cooled self-contained unit and the
electrical wiring connections to the unit.

These instructions and any instructions packaged with
any separate equipment required to make up the entire
air conditioning system should be carefully read before
beginning the installation. Note particularly “Starting
Procedure” and any tags and/or labels attached to the
equipment.

While these instructions are intended as general
recommended guide, they do not supersede any national
and/or local codes in any way. Authorities having
jurisdiction should be consulted before the installation
is made. See Page 1 for information on codes and
standards.

Size of unit for a proposed installation should be based
on heat loss calculation made according to methods of
Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA). The
air duct should be installed in accordance with the
Standards of the National Fire Protection Association
for the Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating
systems of Other Than Residence Type, NFPA No.
90A, and Residence Type Warm Air Heating and Air
Conditioning Systems, NFPA No. 90B. Where local
regulations are at a variance with instructions, installer
should adhere to local codes.

DUCT WORK

Any heat pump is more critical of proper operating
charge and an adequate duct system that a straight air
conditioning unit. All duct work, supply and return,
must be properly sized for the design air flow
requirement of the equipment. Air Conditioning
Contractors of America (ACCA) is an excellent guide

Manual 2100-373
Page 4

to proper sizing. All duct work or portions thereof not
in the conditioned space should be properly insulated in
order to both conserve energy and prevent condensation
or moisture damage.

Refer to Table 10 for maximum static pressure
available for duct design.

Design the duct work according to methods given by the
Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA).
When duct runs through unheated spaces, it should be
insulated with a minimum of one inch of insulation.
Use insulation with a vapor barrier on the outside of the
insulation. Flexible joints should be used to connect the
duct work to the equipment in order to keep the noise
transmission to a minimum.

A 1/4 inch clearance to combustible material for the
first three feet of duct attached to the outlet air frame is
required. See Pages Wall Mounting Instructions and
Figure 3 for further details.

Ducts through the walls must be insulated and all joints
taped or sealed to prevent air or moisture from entering
the wall cavity.

CAUTION

Some installations may not require any return
air duct. A metallic return air grille is required
with installations not requiring a return air
duct. The spacing between louvers on the
grille shall not be larger than 5/8 inches.

Any grille that meets the 5/8 inch louver criteria may be
used. It is recommended that Bard Return Air Grille
Kit RG2 thru RG5 or RFG2 thru RFG5 be installed
when no return duct is used. Contact distributor or
factory for ordering information. If using a return air
filter grille, filters must be of sufficient size to allow a
maximum velocity of 400 fpm.

NOTE: If no return air duct is used, applicable

installation codes may limit this cabinet to
installation only in a single story structure.

FILTERS

A 1 inch throwaway filter is supplied with each unit.
The filter slides into position making it easy to service.
This filter can be serviced from the outside by removing
the service door. A 1 inch washable filter and a 2 inch
pleated filter are also available as optional accessories.
The internal filter brackets are adjustable to
accommodate the 2 inch filter by loosening two (2)
screws in each bracket assembly and sliding the
brackets apart to the required width and retightening the
four (4) screws.

FRESH AIR INTAKE

All units are built with fresh air inlet slots punched in
the service panel.

If the unit is equipped with a fresh air damper assembly,
the assembly is shipped already attached to the unit.
The damper blade is locked in the closed position. To
allow the damper to operate, the maximum and
minimum blade position stops must be installed. See
Figure 2.

All capacity, efficiency, and cost of operation
information as required for Department of Energy
“Energyguide” Fact Sheets is based upon the fresh air
blank-off plate in place and is recommended for
maximum energy efficiency.

The blank-off plate is available upon request from the
factory and is installed in place of the fresh air damper
shipped with each unit.

CONDENSATE DRAIN

A plastic drain hose extends from the drain pan at the
top of the unit down to the unit base. There are
openings in the unit base for the drain hose to pass
through. In the event the drain hose is connected to a
drain system of some type, it must be an open or vented
type system to assure proper drainage.
