Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work
gloves. Use quenching cloth for unbrazing operations. Have
fire extinguishers available for all brazing operations.
A WARNING
Before performing service or maintenance operations
on unit, turn off main power switch to unit. Electrical
shock could cause personal injury.
INSTALLATION
Unit is shipped in the vertical discharge configuration.
To convert to horizontal discharge application, cut imprint
area from front panels using sheet metal cutters. See Fig. 1
Duct openings in basepan must be covered by panels pro
vided in the Accessory Duct Cover Package, part no.
50LJ900214 (50LJ008,009) or 50LJ900217 (50LJ012,014).
Using screws provided in accessory package, install cov
ers on duct openings in basepan of unit with insulation-side
down. Seals around opening must be tight.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installation and servicing air conditioning equipment can
be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical compo
nents. Only trained and qualified service personnel should
install, repair or service air conditioning equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance func
tions of cleaning coils and filters and replacing filters. All
other operations should be performed by trained service per
sonnel. When working on air conditioning equipment, ob
serve precautions in the literature, tags and labels attached
to the unit, and other safety precautions that may apply
IMPORTANT: An external filter kit MUST be used
or the filters MUST be field-installed outside the unit
on horizontal applications with accessory economizer
or two-position damper. Otherwise, the economizer
or two-position damper must be partially removed to
access the filters. The area of the field-installed fil
ters should be equal to the area of the factoryinstalled filters.

Step 1 — Provide Unit Support
ROOF CURB — Assemble and install accessory roof curb
in accordance with instructions shipped with curb. See
Fig. 2. Install insulation, cant strips, roofing and counter
flashing as shown. Ductwork must be attached to curb, not
to unit. If electric or control power is to be routed through
the curb, attach the accessory thru~the-curb service connec
tion plates to the roof curb in accordance with the accessory
installation instructions. Connection plates must be in
stalled before unit is set on roof curb.
IMPORTANT: The gasketing of the unit to the roof
curb is critical for water integrity. Install gasket sup
plied with the roof curb as shown in Fig. 2. Improp
erly applied gasket can also result in air leaks and
poor unit performance.
Curb should be level. This is necessary for unit drain to
function properly. Unit leveling tolerances are shown in
Fig. 3. Refer to Accessory Roof Curb Installation Instruc
tions for additional information as required.
SLAB MOUNT (Horizontal Units Only) — Provide a level
concrete slab that extends a minimum of 6 in. beyond unit
cabinet. Install a gravel apron in front of outdoor-coil air
inlet to prevent grass and foliage from obstructing airflow.
NOTE: Horizontal units may be installed on a roof curb if
required.
are not required i.^’ top crpting is left on unit. Rollers may be
used to move unit across a roof. Level by using unit frame
as a reference. See Table 1 and Fig 5 for additional infor
mation. Operating weight is shown in Table 1 and Fig. 5.
Lifting holes are provided in base rails as shown in Fig.
5 and 6. Refer to rigging instructions on unit.
A CAUTION
I
______
All panels must be in place when rigging.
POSITIONING — Maintain clearance around and above
unit to provide proper airflow and service access. See
Fig. 6
Position unit on roof curb so that the following clear
ances are maintained: ‘A-in. clearance between roof curb
and base rails on each side and front of unit; U/32-in. clear
ance between roof curb and rear of unit (see Fig. 2, section
C-C).
Do not install unit in an indoor location. Do not locate
unit air inlet near exhaust vents or other sources of contam
inated air.
Although unit is weatherproof, guard against water from
higher level runoff and overhangs.
After unit is in position, remove polyethylene shipping
wrapper and rigging skid.
_________
|
Step 2 — Field Fabricate Ductwork — On verti
cal discharge units, secure all ducts to roof curb and build
ing structure. Do not connect ductwork to unit. For hori
zontal applications, field-supplied flanges should be attached
to horizontal discharge openings and all ductwork attached
to the flanges. Insulate and weatherproof all external duct
work, joints and roof openings with counter flashing and
mastic in accordance with applicable codes.
Ducts passing through an unconditioned space must be
insulated and covered with a vapor barrier.
If plenum return is used on a vertical unit, the return should
be ducted through the roof deck to comply with applicable
fire codes.
A minimum clearance to combustibles is not required around
ductwork on vertical discharge units. On horizontal dis
charge units, a minimum clearance of one in. is required
for the first 12 in. of ductwork. Cabinet return-air static
shall not exceed —.35 in. wg with economizer or —.45 in.
wg without economizer
Step 3 — Install External Trap for Condensate
Drain — All units must have an external trap added. A
y4-in. NPT connection is located on the side of the unit.
Use a trap at least 4-in. deep, and protect against freeze-up.
See Fig. 4.
If drain line is run to a drain, pitch line away from unit at
one in. per 10 ft of run. Do not use a pipe size smaller than
the unit connection.
Step 4 — Rig and Place Unit — inspect unit for
transportation damage. File any claim with transportation
agency. Keep unit upright and do not drop. Spreader bars
Step 5 — Make Electrical Connections
A WARNING
Unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted, unbroken elec
trical ground to minimize the possibility of personal in
jury if an electrical fault should occur. This ground may
consist of electrical wire connected to unit ground lug
in control compartment, or conduit approved for elec
trical ground when installed in accordance with NEC
(National Electrical Code) ANSI (American National
Standards Institute) /NFPA (National Fire Protection As
sociation) 70-1987 and local electrical codes. Failure
to follow this warning could result in the installer be
ing liable for personal injury of others.
FIELD POWER SUPPLY - All units except 208/230-v
units are factory wired for the voltage shown on the name
plate. If the 208/230-v unit is to be connected to a 208-v
power supply, the transformer must be rewired by moving
the black wire from the 230-v red wire on the transformer
and connecting it to the 200-v blue wire from the trans
former. The end of the red wire then must be insulated.
Refer to unit label diagram for additional information.
Pigtails are provided for field wire connections. Use factory-
supplied splices or UL (Underwriters’ Laboratories) ap
proved copper/aluminum connector.
When installing units, provide a disconnect per NEC.
All field wiring must comply with NEC and local require
ments. In Canada, electrical connections must be in accor
dance with CSA (Canadian Standards Association) C22.1
Canadian Electrical Code Part One.
