All units are carefully inspected at the factory throughout
the manufacturing process under a strict detailed quality
assurance program, and where possible, all major
components and subassemblies are carefully tested for
proper operation and veried to be in full compliance
with the factory manufacturing documents. Customer
furnished components such as control valves, switches
and DDC controls are not factory tested.
Each unit is carefully packaged for shipment to avoid
damage during normal transport and handling. The
equipment should always be stored in a dry place in the
proper orientation as marked on the carton.
All shipments are made F.O.B. factory and it is the
responsibility of the receiving party to inspect the
equipment upon arrival. Any obvious damage to the
carton and/or its contents should be recorded on the bill of
lading and a claim should be led with the freight carrier.
After determining the condition of the carton exterior,
carefully remove each unit from the carton and inspect
for hidden damage. At this time check to make sure that
“furnished only” items such as switches, thermostats,
etc., are accounted for. Any hidden damage should be
recorded and immediately reported to the carrier and a
claim must be led. In the event a claim for shipping
damage is led, the unit, shipping carton, and all packing
must be retained for physical inspection by the freight
carrier. All equipment should be stored in the factory-
shipping carton with internal packing in place until
installation.
At the time of receipt, the equipment type and
arrangement should be verified against the order

that no force or pressure be applied to the coil, piping or
drain stub-outs during handling. Also, depending on the
options and accessories, some units could contain delicate
components that may be damaged by improper handling.
Wherever possible, all units should be maintained in an
upright position and handled by the chassis as close as
possible to the mounting point locations.
In the case of a full cabinet unit, the unit must obviously
be handled by the exterior casing. This is acceptable
providing the unit is again maintained in an upright
position and no impact forces are applied that may
damage internal components, access panels, or painted
surfaces. The equipment covered in this manual IS NOT
suitable for outdoor installations. The equipment should
never be stored or installed where it may be subjected

FORM ET115.24-NOM11 (118)
During and after installation, special care must be taken
to prevent foreign material such as paint, plaster, and
drywall dust from being deposited in the drain pan or
on the motor or blower wheels. Failure to do so may
have serious adverse eects on unit operation and in
the case of the motor and blower assembly, may result
in immediate or premature failure. All manufacturers’
warranties are void if foreign material is allowed to be
deposited on the motor or blower wheels of any unit.
Some units and/or job conditions may require some form
of temporary covering during construction.
While the manufacturer does not become involved
in the design and selection of support methods and
components, it should be noted that unacceptable system
operating characteristics and/or performance may result
from improper or inadequate unit structural support.
In addition, adequate clearance must be provided for
service and removal of the equipment and its accessory
components. Anchoring the equipment in place is
accomplished by using the mounting points provided
and positioning the unit to maintain the unit on a LEVEL
plane. The drain pan is internally sloped toward the
outlet connection. Care must be taken to insure that
the unit drain pan does not slope away from the outlet
connection. All units are supplied with integrated hanger
brackets with optional grommet isolators and brass
inserts for use with 3/8" all thread hanger rod.

DRAIN PAN
Standard drain pans are externally insulated, single wall
galvanized steel and can be equipped with a secondary
drain connection. The HL drain pan is easily removable
for cleaning. See illustration below. Auxiliary drip pan
to catch condensed moisture from valves and piping
must be sloped toward the drain pan.
FORM ET115.24-NOM11 (118)
The condensate drain pan can be removed without re-
quiring common hand tools. The drain pan is secured
to the unit by four sheet metal tabs that slide into four
respective slots on the drain pan.
Prior to removing the drain pan, make sure all
accessories and eld connections have been
appropriately disconnected from the drain pan.
The drain pan can be removed in three steps. First,
push the drain pan engagement lever to unlock the
drain pan from the coil. Next, while continuing to
push the lever, support the weight of the drain pan
and slide the drain pan towards the drain connection.
After the drain pan slides approximately 1.5 inches,
it will be completely disengaged from the coil.
Lastly, support the weight of the drain pan and
safely lower the drain pan for servicing. Reinstall
prior to unit startup.
COILS
All fan coils are available in 2 or 4 pipe congurations.
Heating coils are available in reheat or preheat position.
Heating and cooling coils are available with right, left
or opposite side connections.
Figure 2a
Figure 2bFigure 2c
Verify that the proper types of service are actually
provided to the unit. On units with steam heating
coils, the maximum steam pressure applied to the unit
should never exceed 15 PSIG. The drain piping and
steam trap should be sized and routed to allow for
proper condensate ow. The electrical service to the
unit should be compared to the unit nameplate to verify
compatibility. The routing and sizing of all piping, and
the type and sizing of all wiring and other electrical
components such as circuit breakers, disconnect
switches, etc., should be determined by the individual
job requirements and should not be based on the size
and/or type of connection provided on the equipment.
All installations should be made in compliance with all
governing codes and ordinances. Compliance with all
codes is the responsibility of the installing contractor.

COOLING/HEATING MEDIUM CONNECTIONS
Toxic residues and loose particles
resulting from manufacturing and
eld piping techniques such as joint
compounds, soldering ux, and metal
shavings may be present in the unit
and the piping system. Not for use with
domestic or potable water systems.
Submittals and Product Catalogs detailing unit operation,
controls, and connections should be thoroughly
reviewed BEFORE beginning the connection of the
various cooling and/or heating mediums to the unit.
All accessory valve packages should be installed as
required, and all service valves should be checked for
proper operation.
If coil and valve package connections are to be made
with “sweat” or solder joint, care should be taken to
assure that no components in the valve package are
subjected to a high temperature which may damage seals
or other materials. Many two-position electric control
valves, depending on valve operation, are provided with
a manual-opening lever. This lever should be placed
in the “open” position during all soldering or brazing
operations. Valve bodies should be wrapped with a wet
rag to help dissipate heat encountered during brazing.
Refrigerant systems should be tested with dry nitrogen
rather than air to prevent the introduction of moisture
into the system. In the event that leaking or defective
components are discovered, the Sales Representative
must be notied BEFORE any repairs are attempted.
All leaks should be repaired before proceeding with
the installation.
Figure 3a
Figure 3b
If the valve package connection at the coil is made with
a union, the coil side of the union must be prevented
from twisting (“backed up”) during tightening to prevent
damage to the coil tubing. Over-tightening must be
avoided to prevent distorting the union seal surface
and destroying the union. Due to the diversity of valve
packages for this product, install the valve packages with
no leaks or interference between components during
operation and maintenance. In the case of eld installed
valves and piping, the chilled water valve cluster (or
metering device on DX units) should be installed in
such a way that any dripping or sweating is contained
in the auxiliary drain pan or other device. Valves and
TXV’s should be secured or supported to avoid damage
to coil headers or distributor tubes. All valves, pipes,
and components must be suciently supported to ensure
structural integrity and proper operation of the unit.
All water coils must be protected from
freezing after initial lling with water.
Even if the system is drained, unit coils
may still hold enough water to cause
damage when exposed to temperatures
below freezing.

AUXILIARY DRAIN PANS
Mounted directly to the unit drain pan, AUXILIARY
DRAIN PANS may also be secured by the mounting
holes to eld supports or to the unit coil utilizing pipe
hanger wire, plastic ties, or metal strapping.
After the connections are completed, the system should
then be tested for leaks. Since some components are not
designed to hold pressure with a gas, hydronic systems
should be tested with water.
Prior to removing the auxiliary drain pan, make sure
all accessories have been appropriately disconnected
from the auxiliary drain pan. The auxiliary drain pan
can be removed in three steps. First, remove the two
screws that attached the auxiliary drain pan to the
support bracket near the inlet of the unit. Next, support
the weight of the auxiliary drain pan and slide the
auxiliary drain pan towards the discharge of the unit so
the auxiliary drain pan lip will clear the drain pan lip.
After the auxiliary drain pan slides approximately 0.75
inches, the auxiliary drain pan will be free from the
drain pan. Lastly, support the weight of the auxiliary
drain pan and safely lower for servicing. Reinstall prior
to unit startup.
It should be noted that none of these methods would
adequately protect a coil in the event of power failure.
The safest method of freeze protection is to use glycol
in the proper percent solution for the coldest expected
air temperature.
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for
undesirable system operation due to improper design,
equipment or component selection, and/or installation of
ductwork, grilles, and other eld supplied components.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The unit nameplate lists the unit electrical characteristics
such as the required supply voltage, fan and heater
amperage and required circuit ampacities. The unitwiring diagram shows all unit and eld wiring. Since
each project is dierent and each unit on a project may
be dierent, the installer must be familiar with the
wiring diagram and nameplate on the unit BEFORE
beginning any wiring. This unit is not acceptable for
installation in hazardous/explosive areas.
ELECTRICAL ENCLOSURE
DUCTWORK CONNECTIONS
All ductwork and/or supply and return grilles should
be installed in accordance with the project plans and
specications. If not included on the unit or furnished
from the factory, ENVIRO-TEC supply and return
grilles are available in a variety of types.
Units can be congured from the factory with duct
collars for attaching ductwork. The factory suggests
using galvanized sheet metal ductwork or a exible
canvas attached to the duct collars using sheet metal
screws. Duct connections should follow SMACNA
standards and national and local codes.
All units must be installed in non-combustible areas.
Some models are designed to be connected to duct-work
with a MINIMUM amount of external static pressure.
Consult the approved submittals and the product catalog
for unit external static pressure limitations.
Units provided with outside air for ventilation should
have some form of low temperature protection to
prevent coil freeze-up.
Figure 4: Electrical enclosure
The electrical control enclosure provides access to the
electrical compartment. This compartment houses all
electric heat and control components. Terminal strips
are furnished for simple power and control wiring
connections. Multiple knockouts allow wiring entries
from either side of the compartment.
All components furnished for eld installation, by either
the factory or the controls contractor should be located
and checked for proper function and compatibility. All
internal components should be checked for shipping
damage. After installation and before energizing
the unit, verify voltage and check that all electrical

SECTION TWO - START-UP
FORM ET115.24-NOM11 (118)
GENERAL
Before beginning any start-up operation, the startup personnel should familiarize themselves with the
unit, options and accessories, and control sequence to
understand the proper system operation. All personnel
should have a good working knowledge of general
start-up procedures and have the appropriate start-up
and balancing guides available for consultation.
The initial step in any startup operation should be a nal
visual inspection. All equipment, plenums, duct-work,
and piping should be inspected to verify that all systems
are complete and properly installed and mounted, and
that no debris or foreign articles such as paper or drink
cans are left in the units or other areas. Each unit should
be checked for loose wires, free blower wheel operation,
and loose or missing access panels or doors. Except as
required during start-up and balancing operations, no
fan coil units should be operated without all the proper
ductwork attached, supply and return grilles in place,
and all access doors and panels in place and secure.
A clean lter of the proper size and type must also be
installed. Failure to do so could result in damage to the
equipment or building and furnishings, and/or void all
manufacturers’ warranties.
Fan coils are not intended for temporary heat/cool
or ventilation. Units are not designed or equipped to
operate in dusty construction environments. Operation
of the units in conditions outlined above could result in
damage to the equipment or building and furnishings
and/or void all manufacturer’s warranties.
COOLING/HEATING SYSTEM
Prior to the water system start-up and balancing, the
chilled/hot water systems should be ushed to clean
out dirt and debris, which may have collected in the
piping during construction. During this procedure,
all unit service valves must be in the closed position.
This prevents foreign matter from entering the unit and
clogging the valves and metering devices. Strainers
should be installed in the piping mains to prevent this
material from entering the units during normal operation.
During system filling, air venting from the unit is
accomplished by the use of the standard manual, or
optional automatic, air vent tting installed on the coil.
In the case of the manual air vent tting, the screw
should be turned counterclockwise no more than 1-½
turns to operate the air vent. Automatic air vents may
be unscrewed one turn counterclockwise to speed
initial venting but should be screwed in for automatic
venting after start-up operations. Check to ensure that
no leaks are prevalent at the coils, coil connections,
piping packages, etc.
The air vent provided on the unit is not
intended to replace the main system air
vents and may not release air trapped
in other parts of the system. Inspect
the entire system for potential air
traps and vent those areas as required,
independently. In addition, some
systems may require repeated venting
over a period of time to properly
eliminate air from the system.
AIR SYSTEM BALANCING
All duct-work must be complete and connected, and all
grilles, lters, access doors and panels must be properly
installed to establish actual system operating conditions
BEFORE beginning air balancing operations.
Each individual unit and attached duct-work is a unique
system with its own operating characteristics. For this
reason, air balancing is normally done by balance
specialists who are familiar with all procedures required
to properly establish air distribution and fan system
operating conditions. These procedures should not be
attempted by unqualied personnel. Some selections
may require air balancing in the eld.
After the proper system operation is established,
the actual unit air delivery and the actual fan motor
amperage draw for each unit should be recorded in
a convenient place for future reference such as the
inspection, installation, & start-up check sheet, a copy
of which is provided on the back of this manual. Contact
the Sales Representative or the factory for additional
copies of this sheet.
3. For neutral conductor sizing, multiply AMPS by 1.73.
4. Motor data is subject to change and should not be used for submittal. Refer to unit submittal for actual ratings.
WATER SYSTEM BALANCING
A complete knowledge of the hydronic system, its
components, and controls is essential to proper water
system balancing and this procedure should not be
attempted by unqualied personnel. The system must
be complete and all components must be in operating
CONTROLS OPERATION
Before proper control operation can be veried all other
systems must be in proper operation. The correct water
and air temperatures must be present for the control

the controls to be used on each unit and their proper
control sequence. Information provided by component
manufacturers regarding installation, operation, and
maintenance of their individual controls is available
upon request.
Before and during water system balancing, conditions
may exist which can result in noticeable water noise
or undesired valve operation due to incorrect system
pressures. After the entire system is balanced, these
conditions will not exist on properly designed systems.

SECTION THREE - NORMAL OPERATION & PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
Each unit on a job will have its own unique operating
environment and conditions that may dictate a
maintenance schedule for that unit that is dierent
from other equipment on the job. A formal schedule of
regular maintenance and an individual unit log should
be established and maintained. This will help to achieve
the maximum performance and service life of each unit
on the job.
Information regarding safety
precautions contained in the preface
at the beginning of this manual should
be followed during any service and
maintenance operations.
For more detailed information concerning service
operations, consult your Sales Representative or the
Factory.
MOTOR/BLOWER ASSEMBLY
The type of fan operation is determined by the control
components and their method of wiring, and may vary
from unit to unit. Refer to the wiring diagram for each
unit for that unit’s individual operating characteristics.
Motors are permanently lubricated, PSC or EC type and
do not require eld lubrication.
FAN DECK
The fan assembly is easily removed from the unit
without disconnecting the ductwork for service access
to motors and blowers at, or away from the unit.
Should the assembly require more extensive service,
the motor/ blower assembly may be removed from the
unit to facilitate such operations as motor or blower
wheel/housing replacement, etc. Dirt and dust should
not be allowed to accumulate on the blower wheel or
housing. This can result in an unbalanced blower wheel
condition that can damage a blower wheel or motor.
The wheel and housing may be cleaned periodically
using a vacuum cleaner and a brush taking care not to
dislodge the factory balancing weights on the blower
wheel blades.

COIL
Coils may be cleaned in place by removing the motor/
blower assemblies and brushing the entering air face
between ns with a soft brush parallel to ns. Do not
brush perpendicular to n orientation as damage may
occur. Brushing should be followed by cleaning with a
vacuum cleaner. If a compressed air source is available,
the coil may also be cleaned by blowing air through the
coil ns from the leaving air face. Vacuuming should
again follow this. Units provided with the proper type
of air lters, replaced regularly, may require periodic
coil cleaning.

ELECTRICAL WIRING & CONTROLS
The electrical operation of each unit is determined by
the components and wiring of the unit and may vary
from unit to unit. Consult the wiring diagram for the
actual type and number of controls provided on each
unit. The integrity of all electrical connections should be
veried at least twice during the rst year of operation.
Afterwards, all controls should be inspected regularly
for proper operation. Some components may experience
erratic operation or failure due to age. Wall thermostats
may also become clogged with dust and lint and should
be periodically inspected and cleaned to provide reliable
operation.
When replacing any components such as fuses,
contactors, or relays, use only the exact type, size, and
voltage component as furnished from the factory. Any
deviation without factory authorization could result
in personnel injury or damage to the unit and will
void all factory warranties. All repair work should be
done in such a manner as to maintain the equipment in
compliance with governing codes and ordinances or
testing agency listings.
ELECTRIC RESISTANCE HEATER ASSEMBLY
Electric resistance heaters typically require no normal
periodic maintenance when unit air lters are changed
properly. Other conditions and equipment may aect the
operation and service life in the system. The two most
important operating conditions for an electric heater are
proper airow and proper supply voltage. High supply
voltage and/or poorly distributed or insucient airow
over the element will result in element overheating. This
condition may result in the heater cycling on the high
limit thermal cutout. Open wire type heaters provided
have an automatic reset switch with a back-up high
limit thermal switch. Automatic reset switches are as
the name implies; they reset automatically after the
heater has cooled down. The high limit thermal cutout
device is a manual reset safety device. With proper
unit application and during normal operation, the high
limit thermal cutout will not operate. This device only
operates when some problem exists. ANY condition
that causes high limit cutout MUST be corrected
immediately. Once the high limit trips, it may be reset
once the unit has cooled down. Refer to troubleshooting
section for high limit reset instructions. High supply
voltage also causes excessive amperage draw and may
result in tripping of the circuit breaker or blowing of
the fuses on the incoming power supply.
More specific information regarding the use and
operating characteristics of the standard controls oered
by this manufacturer is contained in other manuals.
VALVES & PIPING
No formal maintenance is required on the valve package
components most commonly used with fan coil units
other than a visual inspection for possible leaks in the
course of other normal periodic maintenance. In the
event that a valve should need replacement, the same
precautions taken during the initial installation to protect
the valve package from excessive heat should also be
used during replacement. If a strainer is ordered with
the unit the strainer must be cleaned periodically along
with other scheduled maintenance. In some cases, the
valve actuator may fail and usually can be replaced
without removing valve body from piping.

FILTERS, THROWAWAY
The type of throwaway lter most commonly used on
fan coil units should be replaced on a regular basis.
The time interval between each replacement should be
established based on regular inspection of the lter and
should be recorded in the log for each unit. Refer to the
Figure 7a
chart below for recommended lter size for each product
type and size. If the replacement lters are not purchased
from the factory, the lters used should be the same type
and size as that furnished from or recommended by the
factory. Consult the factory for applications using lter
types other than the factory standard or optional product.

DRAIN
The drain should be checked before initial start-up and
at the beginning of each cooling season to assure that
the lines are clear. If it is clogged, steps should be taken
to clear the debris so that condensate will ow easily.
Periodic checks of the drain should be made during the
cooling season to maintain a free owing condensate.

FAN RELAY BOARD – INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
FORM ET115.24-NOM11 (118)
The Fan Relay Board assembly (FRBii) provides
electronic control for the fan motor and various
connections for peripheral devices. The FRBii accepts
incoming single phase power of nominal AC voltages
120, 208, 240 and 277. The assembly includes a multitap transformer (30VA or 50VA) that steps each of these
primary voltages to 24 VAC. The assembly allows for
the control of a three speed fan motor, including a relay
for control of the neutral voltage signal path.
The FRBii can be connected to an external device (e.g.,
thermostat, controller, 3-speed switch) to control the
three fan speeds. The FRBii includes logic to detect
when multiple speeds are commanded simultaneously
and block all but the highest of the commanded speeds
from being sent to the motor windings. A signal to
call for electric heat from an external controller will
verify that a fan speed is selected before providing the
command signal to the external electric heat control to
ensure that electric heat can only be energized when the
fan motor is operational. The assembly includes factory
provided harnesses to allow for faster installation and
improved troubleshooting by the end user.
The FRBii allows for peripheral devices (e.g., thermostat
controllers, electric heat relays, water valve actuators,
condensate drain pan oat switches, air dampers) to be
connected by either the OEM or by the installer. The fan
relay board also includes a fuse on the secondary side
of the transformer to protect against incorrect wiring of
external components, shorting the transformer leads.
The signals in the screw terminal block (TB1) and
18-pin black connector (J1) have a nominal voltage of
24VAC. These signals are properly insulated from line
voltage present on the assembly (J2-J5).
