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 automo bi le, sp ace
heater, gas water heater, etc. ) should no t be operated in enclo sed a reas
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, ther e must be ade quate , direct out side
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.

Product Description
When matched with DX11 and DZ11 condensers, this system complies with the minimum efficiency requirements found in ASHRAE
90.1-2007. See the Daikin DX11 and DZ11 specification sheets for
details on these condensers. For other Daikin condenser(s) that
can be matched with this airhandler to obtain ASHRAE 90.1-2007
compliance, consult with your local distributor.
The DAR series is intended for use with a room thermostat. This
thermostat is not supplied with this equipment. Only thermostats
that use 24 VAC control circuitry are to be used.

Using the table “Model Identification” section check the equipment model number to ensure the unit is appropriately sized for
the condenser unit(s).
If an incorrect unit is supplied it must not be installed and it is to
be returned to the supplier. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for the installation of incorrect delivered units.
The evaporator coil contains a high-pressure inert gas holding
charge.
Codes & Regulations
This product is designed and manufactured to comply with national codes. Installation in accordance with such codes and/or
prevailing local codes/regulations is the responsibility of the installer. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for equipment installed in violation of any codes or regulations.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
issued various regulations regarding the introduction and disposal of refrigerants. Failure to follow these regulations may
harm the environment and can lead to the imposition of substantial fines. Should you have any questions please contact the
local office of the EPA.

If replacing an air handler, the system must be manufacturer approved and Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute
(AHRI) matched. NOTE: Installation of unmatched systems is
strongly discouraged.
Pre-Installation Instructions
Carefully read all instructions for the installation prior to installing product. Make sure each step or procedure is understood and
any special considerations are taken into account before starting
installation. Assemble all tools, hardware and supplies needed
to complete the installation. Some items may need to be purchased locally. Make sure everything needed to install the product is on hand before starting.

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:
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.
