Upon receipt of the equipment, check the carton and pallets
for visible damage. Make a notation on the shipper’s delivery
ticket before signing. If there is any evidence of rough handling,
immediately open the cartons to check for concealed damage.
If any damage is found, notify the carrier within 48 hours to
establish your claim and request their inspection and a report.
The Warranty Claims Department should then be contacted.

Handling

Carefully check items against the bills of lading to verify all
crates and cartons have been received.Cabinets and Chassis
normally ship four to a pallet.

Carefully inspect all units for shipping damage. Report

damage immediately to the carrier and le a claim.

Check the unit data plate to be sure the unit electrical agrees
with the power supply available (Figure 1).

DO NOT handle units by the riser piping. Riser clamps hold the
riser in position; they are not designed to support the cabinet
weight. The clamps are removed after the unit is installed.

Unit cabinets are factory assembled and wired and have
individual thermostat control capability. They are installed by
stacking one unit on top of the other. While installing, prevent
dirt and other foreign matter from entering the risers and plug­ging lines or valves.

General Information

Prior to installing

Disassembling Upper and Lower Cabinet
Sections

The Vertical Stack unit cabinet ships completely assembled. If
required, it may be disassembled into two (2) sections (upper­fan/discharge cabinet) and (lower chassis/return air cabinet) to
make it easier to handle. To disassemble, do the following.

1. Remove risers (if received attached).

2 Remove the three (bottom row) screws on the back of the

unit as shown in Figure 2.

Note: Retain all screws for later use to reassemble unit in

reverse order as described in steps 1-6. Number of
screws will vary depending on unit size.

3. Carefully lay the unit down on its back and remove the

remaining eight (8) screws on the left and right side of the
cabinet (Figure 3).

4. Remove the ten (10) screws and lift off the front panel/lter

rack to gain access to the cabinet interior (Figure 4).

5. Locate and remove the six (6) screws located inside the

cabinet joining the upper and lower cabinet sections
(Figure 5).

Note: Pull the insulaton away from the walls of the cabinet

interior to get access to the screws.

6. Separate the lower return air cabinet section from the upper

blower/discharge cabinet section (Figure 6).

Pre-installation Considerations

1. To prevent damage to equipment, do not operate

supplementary heating and cooling during the construction
period.

2. Inspect the carton for any specic tagging numbers

indicated by the factory per a request from the installing
contractor. At this time the voltage, phase and capacity
should be checked against the plans.

3. Check the unit size against the plans to verify that the unit

is being installed in the correct location.

4. Before installation, check the available dimensions of the

area where the unit is to be installed versus the dimensions
of the unit.

5. Note the location and routing of water piping, condensate

drain piping, and electrical wiring. The locations of these
items are clearly marked on submittal drawings.

6. The installing contractor will nd it benecial to confer with

piping, sheet metal, and electrical foremen before installing
any unit.

Note: Check the unit data plate for correct voltage with the

plans before installing the equipment.

WARNING

Make sure all electrical ground connections are made in
accordance with local code.

Figure 7: Typical side by side unit installation

WARNING

The contractor shall cover the units to protect the machines

during nishing of the building. This is critical while
spraying reproong material on bar joists, sandblasting,

spray painting and plastering.

For Optimum Unit Performance and to Help Minimize
Noise and Vibration

● Adhere to the "Critical Dimensions" for locations of framing
and distances to the cabinet.

● Be sure there are no kinks and that the stainless steel
braided hoses do not come in contact with and vibrate on
chassis and cause noise.

● Be sure there are no kinks in the condensate drain hose

that can restrict ow of condensate to the drain riser.

● Ensure there is no metal-to-metal contact between return
air grille and cabinet and the discharge diffuser and the
cabinet, use provided gaskets.

● Air balancing in ducted applications is critical for proper

airow at each diffuser.

● It is recommended that all unused openings in the cabinet
be sealed to eliminate any air leakage from the cabinet.

NOTICE

Top air discharge units will require turning vanes and/

or a volume damper for proper air ow and balancing, to
minimize turbulence. These components must be eld-

installed and furnished in accordance with SMACNA
guidelines.

Framing Locations and Dimensions

Location of framing around unit is critical for proper t-up and

will help reduce sound levels due to the transfer of vibration
when properly installed.

Figure 16: Louvered panel door with motorized outdoor air damper

install the ductwork that connects the outdoor air
opening in the panel door frame to the source of the
outdoor intake opening in the building. All ductwork
should conform to industry standards of good practice
as described in the ASHRAE Systems Guide. Also refer
to good installation practices as outlined in ED 18529.

Note: The outdoor air duct can be located on either side of the cabinet and routed around the side- to the back of the cabinet, or

run straight- parallel to the front of the cabinet.

Return Air Panel Door(s) Dimensions

Location of studs in relation to the unit and the return air

panel door are critical for proper installation and t up. When

installed, the return air grille gasket must compress and seal
completely against the outer edge of the cabinet and around
the inner front panel and lter bracket. Refer to "Installing The
Return Air Panel Door" on page 32 and Figure 15 on page

15.

CAUTION

Installation and maintenance is to be performed only by

qualied personnel who are familiar with, and in compliance

with state, local and national codes and regulations, and
experienced with this type of equipment. Sharp edges and coil
surfaces are potential injury hazards. Avoid contact with them.

Risers and Cabinet

1. Position the cabinet and risers within the building pipe

chase and align with the unit on the oor above and/or

below (Figure 20).

Supply, Return
and Condensate
Risers

Note: Refer to Figure 21 Critical Dimension Notice to

determine the correct recess depth from the front of
the unit to the drywall face. When the installation is
complete, the return air grille/panel frame must meet
to seal with the cabinet discharge opening and the
discharge air diffuser duct must meet and seal with the

discharge opening.

2. Using the riser extensions, make preliminary riser

connections between the units above and or below
to assure proper riser alignment (supply, return and
condensate). Figure 20.

3. After all components are aligned properly, anchor the unit

cabinet to the oor using the Daikin provided mounting

brackets (Figure 21).

4. Locate the two (2) mounting brackets in the parts bag

and position them near the back corners of the unit, or
one on a side and one on the back, whichever location or
combination is most suitable, as illustrated in Figure 21.
Contractor is responsible for the appropriate fasteners to

secure the brackets to the oor, as local codes dictate.

properly align and seal to the cabinet. Use of a 4' level is
recommended.

Note: Apply the provided seal to the interior of the cabinet

around the stub-outs. Be sure there are no voids

between the stub-outs and the stub-out seal which
helps prevent air inltration into the cabinet

6. Solder all supply and return riser connections to units

above and/or below.

7. Remove riser ties used to secure the risers to the cabinet

during shipping.

WARNING

Before furring-in units, hydrostatically test the risers and
unit connection joints in accordance with local building
codes, to make sure they are leak-proof.

Note: Perform "Cleaning and Flushing Water System" on

page 22

CAUTION

When furring-in units make sure that no screws or nails
penetrate the unit cabinet.

8. Layout the stud wall oor plates and frame-in unit

referencing "Typical framing & discharge arrangements" on
page 14 and Figure 15 on page 15.

Note: Before cutting and hanging drywall, remove the

appropriate discharge air opening knockout. See

Table 8). Protect unit from construction debris with a

protective cover.
