Important Safety Instructions
The following symbols and labels are used throughout this manual to indicate immediate or potential safety hazards. It is the owner’s and installer’s responsibility to read and comply with all safety information and instructions accompanying these symbols. Failure to heed safety information increases the risk of personal injury, property damage, and/or product damage.
HIGH VOLTAGE!
Disconnect ALL power before servicing. Multiple power sources may be present. Failure to do so may cause property damage, personal injury or death.
Installation and repair of this unit should be performed ONLY by individuals meeting (at a minimum) the requirements of an “entry level technician” as specified by the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI). Attempting to install or repair this unit without such background may result in product damage, personal injury or death.
This product is factory-shipped for use with 208230/3/60 electrical power supply. However, the airhandler can be reconfigured to operate with a 460/3/60 power supply, provided the conversion noted in section “Conversion to 460 Electrical Supply” section of this manual is performed.
To avoid property damage, personal injury or death due to electrical shock, this unit MUST have an uninterrupted, unbroken electrical ground. The electrical ground circuit may consist of an appropriately sized electrical wire connecting the ground lug in the unit control box to the building electrical service panel.
Other methods of grounding are permitted if performed in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC)/American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70 and local/state codes. In Canada, electrical grounding is to be in accordance with the Canadian Electric Code (CSA) C22.1.
This airhandler is designed for Upflow or HorizontalLeft applications. DO NOT INSTALL IN THE DOWNFLOW OR HORIZONTAL-RIGHT ORIENTATION.
When installing or servicing this equipment, safety clothing, including hand and eye protection, is strongly recommended. If installing in an area that has special safety requirements (hard hats, etc.), observe these requirements.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Special Warning for Installation of Furnace or Air Handling Units in Enclosed Areas such as Garages, Utility Rooms or Parking Areas
Carbon monoxide producing devices (such as an automobile, space heater, gas water heater, etc.) should not be operated in enclosed areas such as unventilated garages, utility rooms or parking areas because of
the danger of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning resulting from the exhaust emissions. If a furnace or air handler is installed in an enclosed area such as a garage, utility room or parking area and a carbon monoxide producing device is operated therein, there must be adequate, direct outside ventilation.
This ventilation is necessary to avoid the danger of CO poisoning which can occur if a carbon monoxide producing device continues to operate in the enclosed area. Carbon monoxide emissions can be (re)circulated throughout the structure if the furnace or air handler is operating in any
mode.
CO can cause serious illness including permanent brain damage or death.

Location
NOTE: Airhandlers are designed for indoor installation only.
When installing this airhandler in an enclosed area, such as a garage/parking area, as with any carbon monoxide producing device (i.e. and automobile, space heater, water heater, etc.), insure that the area is properly ventilated.
The DAR airhandler is suitable for installation in multiple locations including:
*Overhead (attic/mezzanine, etc.)
*Closet/mechanical room
When installing this airhandler, consideration is to be given to minimize the length of refrigerant tubing. Also, do not install the airhandler in a location either above or below the condenser that violates the instructions provided with the condenser.
The clearance from a combustible surface to the unit may be 0". However, service clearance is to take precedence. In addition allow a minimum of 36" in front of the unit for service clearance. Allow sufficient clearance to remove the heater elements for service or replacement in heat kits when utilized in application.
When installing in an area directly over a finished ceiling (such as an attic), an emergency drain pan is required directly under the unit. See local and state codes for additional requirements.
When installing this unit in an area that may become wet, elevate the unit with a study, non-porous material.
In installations that may lead to physical damage (warehouse, industrial sites, etc.), it is advised to install a protective barrier to prevent such damage.
Return Ductwork
DO NOT TERMINATE THE RETURN DUCTWORK IN AN AREA THAT CAN INTRODUCE TOXIC, OR OBJECTIONABLE FUMES/ODORS INTO THE DUCTWORK. The return ductwork is to be introduced into the air handler bottom (upflow configuration). The cabinet dimensions are 48” x 24”.
Return Air Filters
Each installation must include a return air filter. This unit is factory equipped with disposable return air filters. To ensure optimum performance, frequent filter replacement is advised. See the following table for the factory installed filter sizes.

Ductwork
This DAR air handler is designed for a complete supply and return ductwork system.
Do not operate this product without all the ductwork attached.
To ensure correct system performance, the ductwork is to be sized to accommodate 375-425 CFM per ton of cooling with the static pressure not to exceed .5" WC. Inadequate duct work that restricts airflow can result in improper performance and compressor or heater failure. Ductwork is to be constructed in a manner that limits restrictions and maintains suitable air velocity. Ductwork is to be sealed to the unit in a manner that will prevent leakage.
Supply Ductwork and Flanges
The supply ductwork flanges are shipped loose and required to be field installed. See the following sketch for further details: Dimensions are approximately 40" x 13-1/8".
Electric Heat
Refer to this manual in combination with the instructions provided with the heat kit for the correct installation procedure.
The electrical characteristics of the airhandler, the electric heat kit, and the building power supply must agree.
The air handlers listed in this manual do not have factory installed electric heat. Electric heat is available as an accessory. If installing this option, the ONLY heat kits that can be used are the AHKD series.
