FanTrol
The FanTrol, provided on all units, is a method of head
pressure control that automatically cycles the condenser fans
in response to ambient air temperature. This feature maintains
head pressure and allows the unit to run at low ambient air
temperatures.
RPS/RDT and RCS units have two independent refrigerant
circuits with one to four condenser fans being controlled
independently by the ambient air temperature of each circuit.
See the following sections for sequence of operation for
condenser fans with FanTrol.
FanTrol does not apply to units with VFD compressors.

The installation of this equipment shall be in accordance
with the regulations of authorities having jurisdiction and all
applicable codes. It is the responsibility of the installer to
determine and follow the applicable codes.
NOTE: Low head pressure may lead to poor, erratic refrigerant
feed control at the thermostatic expansion valve. The
units have automatic control of the condenser fans
which should provide adequate head pressure control
down to 50°F (10°C) provided the unit is not exposed to
windy conditions. The system designer is responsible
for assuring the condensing section is not exposed to
excessive wind or air recirculation.
CAUTION
Sharp edges on sheet metal and fasteners can cause
personal injury.
This equipment must be installed, operated, and serviced
only by an experienced installation company and fully trained
personnel.
MeChanICal InsTallaTIon
Receiving Inspection
When the equipment is received, all items should be carefully
checked against the bill of lading to be sure all crates and
cartons have been received. If the unit has become dirty
during shipment (winter road chemicals are of particular
concern), clean it when received.
All units should be carefully inspected for damage when
received. Report all shipping damage to the carrier and le a
claim. In most cases, equipment is shipped F.O.B. factory and
claims for freight damage should be led by the consignee.
Before unloading the unit, check the unit nameplate to make
sure the voltage complies with the power supply available.
Unit Clearances
Service Clearance
Allow service clearance approximately as indicated in Figure
21. Also, Daikin recommends providing a roof walkway to
the rooftop unit as well as along at least the two sides of the
unit that provide access to most controls and serviceable
components.

Ventilation Clearance
maximum
box,
Below are minimum ventilation clearance recommendations.
The system designer must consider each application and
provide adequate ventilation. If this is not done, the unit will not
perform properly.
Unit(s) surrounded by a screen or a fence:
1. The bottom of the screen or fence should be at least 1 ft.
(305 mm) above the roof surface.
2. The distance between the unit and a screen or fence
should be as described in Service Clearance on page
19. See also Figure 21.
3. The distance between any two units within a screen or
fence should be at least 120ʺ (3048 mm).
MeChanICal InsTallaTIon
Do not locate outside air intakes near exhaust vents or other
sources of contaminated air.
If the unit is installed where windy conditions are common,
install wind screens around the unit, maintaining the
clearances specied (see Figure 21). This is particularly
important to prevent blowing snow from entering outside air
intake and to maintain adequate head pressure control when
mechanical cooling is required at low outdoor air temperatures.
For pad-mounted units, it is recommended that the condenser
section be lifted a minimum of 12ʺ off the ground for proper
underside ventilation. This clearance allows for proper airow,
optimal condenser performance and to prevent any minor
reductions in performance.
Unit(s) surrounded by solid walls:
1. If there are walls on one or two adjacent sides of the unit,
the walls may be any height. If there are walls on more
than two adjacent sides of the unit, the walls should not
be higher than the unit.
2. The distance between the unit and the wall should be at
least 96ʺ (2438 mm) on all sides of the unit.
3. The distance between any two units within the walls
should be at least 120ʺ (3048 mm).

Roof Curb Assembly and Installation
Locate the roof curb and unit on a portion of the roof that can
support the weight of the unit. The unit must be supported to
prevent bending or twisting of the machine.
If building construction allows sound and vibration into the
occupied space, locate the unit over a non-critical area. It
is the responsibility of the system designer to make
adequate provisions for noise and vibration in the
occupied space.
Install the curb and unit level to allow the condensate drain to
ow properly and allow service access doors to open and close
without binding.
Integral supply and return air duct anges are provided with
the RPS/RFS roof curb, allowing connection of duct work to the
curb before the unit is set. The gasketed top surface of the duct
anges seals against the unit when it is set on the curb.
WARNING
Mold can cause personal injury. Some materials such as
gypsum wall board can promote mold growth when damp.
Such materials must be protected from moisture that can
enter units during maintenance or normal operation.
MeChanICal InsTallaTIon
These anges must not support the total weight of the
ductwork. See Installing Ductwork on page 39 for details on
duct connections. It is critical that the condensate drain side of
the unit be no higher than the opposite side.
Assembly of a typical RPS/RDT roof curb is shown in Figure
24. Parts A through K are common to all units having bottom
supply and return openings. Depending on the unit length,
Parts L and M may be included with the roof curb kit to create
the correct overall curb length.

Figure 29: RCS or Condenser Factory Split at Condenser
Although RoofPak units typically ship from the factory as
complete units, they may be split at the factory in one of two
possible congurations; see (1) “RPS Factory Split at Fan”,
Figure 31 and (2) “RFS/RCS Permanent Split Systems” on
page 29.
RPS Factory Split at Fan
The RPS unit is factory split at the fan section and ships as two
pieces, split at the supply fan bulkhead, to recouple together on
the roof. Like the RPS/RDT unit factory split at the condenser,
this conguration is ordered if shipping length or weight
limitation prevents a packaged RPS/RDT from being ordered.
Splitting at the fan has the advantage of leaving all factory
refrigerant piping intact so eld evacuation and charging is not
required. Detailed instructions are on page 29 to page 28.
A single nameplate is attached to the air handler section and
power is fed to both sections through the main control box, as
in a non-split RPS/RDT unit.
Field reassembly of an RPS/RDT unit that has shipped split
at the fan takes place in three phases: (1) setting the sections
(2) mechanically recoupling the cabinet, and (3) reconnecting
power and control wiring.
Phase I. Set sections (Figure 30)
1. Remove top cap and save for Step 3.
2. Remove screws on fan panel, leaving retainer clips in
place to secure bulkhead. Save screws for Phase II,
Step 5.
3. Remove plywood and retaining angles from unit and
discard.
4. Carefully lower both sections of unit (fan end and
discharge end) into place, making sure the roof curb
engages the recesses in the unit base.

Phase III. Reconnect Power and Control Wiring
CAUTION
Connect the power block correctly and maintain proper
phasing. Improper installation can cause severe equipment
damage.
If applicable, install as shown
with provided fasteners.
The DX coil/condenser section contains power and control
harnesses that have their excess length in the blank or heat
section, which normally is immediately downstream of the fan.
Once the sections are physically reconnected, the ends of
the power harness are fed back through the unit base into the
junction box, per the unit’s electrical schematics.
1. Make electrical connections and reinstall inner raceway
cover as shown in Figure 33.
2. When power wire reconnection is complete, reinstall the
inner raceway cover in the blank or heat section. Figure
33 shows a typical installation of the raceway cover.
3. Run the control harnesses by removing the external
raceway covers on either side of the unit split.
4. Remove the excess harness length from the external
raceway on the DX side of the split; then route along the
raceway through the bushed hole in the fan section and
into the junction box where control wiring terminal blocks
are provided for reconnection.
5. Make all electrical connections per the unit’s electrical
schematics.
6. Reinstall the external raceway covers after routing of the
control wires is complete.
7. Draw through cooling coils only. Reconnect refrigerant
piping. These refrigerant circuits for these units are
shipped with a holding charge only. Figure 34 illustrates
what the installer sees at the shipping split
a. To bridge the gap and connect the piping, remove
the refrigerant piping caps and add ttings and
copper tubing, as required.
b. Evacuate and charge the unit. See page 31 for
further details.
After routing wires,
install inner raceway
cover (see step 6).

RFS/RCS Permanent Split Systems†
The RFS air handler section and RCS condenser section ship
as two separate units. This conguration is ordered when the
condenser is intended to remain separated by a short distance
from the air handler because of space or structural constraints.
On all units, refrigerant piping is terminated near the exterior
of the cabinet for convenient eld piping between the RCS
and RFS units, and all necessary refrigeration components
are provided (except the eld-installed hot gas bypass valve).
Detailed instructions are on page 31 to page 34.
The hot gas bypass valve should be located as close to the
RCS as possible to minimize refrigerant from accumulating in
the HGBP piping. Units with a VFD compressor option do not
require HGBP as the compressor is capable of modulating.
Minimize pipe bends (especially those that accumulate
refrigerant) as much as possible. Connect the pressure
sensing tap to the suction line.
Piping Recommendations
All eld piping, wiring, and procedures must be performed
in accordance with ASHRAE, EPA, and industry standards.
Proper refrigerant piping can make the difference between a
reliable system and an inefcient, problematic system.
The primary concerns related to piping are refrigerant pressure
drop, a solid liquid feed to the expansion valves, continuous oil
return and properly sized refrigerant specialties.
Insulate the suction line to reduce excessive superheat
buildup. Insulate the liquid line, where located in areas above
ambient temperature, to prevent loss of subcooling and
consequent liquid ashing.
The recommended source for refrigerant piping techniques and
sizing is the Daikin AG31-011 Refrigerant Piping Design Guide.
Although conicting piping recommendations can be found in
different sources, Daikin offers the following recommendations
for these controversial issues.
The use of double risers for vertical gas risers is generally not
required and should be used only as a last resort to maintain
the minimum refrigerant ow to carry oil up the vertical risers.
Slightly downsizing the vertical riser is a preferable option to
providing double risers.
Slope the refrigerant lines ½" to 1ʺ per 10 feet of horizontal run
in the direction of refrigerant ow to assist oil return.
Pressure drops in the refrigerant lines should be maintained
at or below the ASHRAE recommendations and line lengths
should be made as short as possible. Exceeding these
recommendations will decrease performance and could impact
reliability.
Small traps should be provided at the base of each major
vertical gas riser to assist in the collection of oil. If vertical
risers exceed more than 25 feet, install a small trap at the
midpoint and at a maximum of 20 foot intervals.
MeChanICal InsTallaTIon
Use caution in sizing the liquid line in applications where
the evaporator is above the outdoor section. The weight of
the liquid refrigerant in the vertical column will decrease the
pressure at the top of the riser (approximately 0.5 psi per foot
of vertical rise) allowing some of the refrigerant to ash to a
gas. Adequate refrigerant subcooling is needed at the outdoor
section to prevent large volumes of refrigerant gas at the
expansion valve.
The piping systems should always extend above the highest
component in the refrigeration system before dropping down
to make the nal refrigerant connections to components. This
practice will hinder the draining of condensed refrigerant to the
lower component when normal shutdown procedures do not
occur (such as a power failure).
NOTE: Do not run refrigerant lines underground.
1. Use type K or L clean copper tubing. Thoroughly clean or
braze all joints with high temperature solder. Make sure
nitrogen is owing through the tubes while brazing to
minimize the formation of oxide contaminants.
2. Base piping sizes on temperature/pressure limitations
as recommended in the following paragraphs. Under no
circumstances should pipe size be based strictly upon
coil or condensing unit piping connection size.
3. To determine the minimum tonnage required to carry
oil up suction risers of various sizes, check the vertical
suction risers using Table 8.
4. Size the liquid line for a pressure drop not to exceed
the pressure equivalent of 2°F (1°C), 6 psi (41.4 kPa)
saturated temperature. The lter drier, solenoid, and
sight glass ship loose with each RFS unit.
