Installation or repairs made by unqualifi ed persons can result in subjecting the unqualifi ed person making such repairs as well as the persons being served by the equipment to hazards resulting in injury or electrical shock which can be serious or even fatal.
Safety warnings have been placed throughout this manual to alert you to potential hazards that may be encountered. If you install or perform service on equipment, it is your responsibility to read and obey these warnings to guard against any bodily injury or property damage which may result to you or others.
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is a safety Alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol with the word “WARNING” or “CAUTION”. These words mean:
WARNING
CAUTION
You can be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.
You can receive minor or moderate injury if you do not follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what will happen if the instructions are not followed.
A message to alert you of potential property damage will have the NOTICE word “NOTICE”. Potential property damage can occur if instructions
are not followed.

•Failure to follow proper safety procedures and/or these warnings can result in serious injury or death.
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM HAZARDS:
•Use approved standard refrigerant recovering procedures and equipment to relieve pressure before opening system for repair.
•Do not allow liquid refrigerant to contact skin. Direct contact with liquid refrigerant can result in minor to moderate injury.
•Be extremely careful when using an oxy-acetylene torch. Direct contact with the torch’s fl ame or hot surfaces can cause serious burns.
•Make sure to protect personal and surrounding property with fi re proof materials.
•Have a fi re extinguisher at hand while using a torch.
•Provide adequate ventilation to vent off toxic fumes, and work with a qualifi ed assistant whenever possible.
•Always use a pressure regulator when using dry nitrogen to test the sealed refrigeration system for leaks, fl ushing etc.
•Make sure to follow all safety precautions and to use proper protective safety aids such as: gloves, safety glasses, clothing etc.
•Failure to follow proper safety procedures and/or these warnings can result in serious injury or death.
MECHANICAL HAZARDS:
•Extreme care, proper judgment and all safety procedures must be followed when testing, troubleshooting, handling, or working around unit with moving and/or rotating parts.
•Be careful when, handling and working around exposed edges and corners of sleeve, chassis, and other unit components especially the sharp fins of the indoor and outdoor coils.
•Use proper and adequate protective aids such as: gloves, clothing, safety glasses etc.
•Failure to follow proper safety procedures and/or these warnings can result in serious injury or death.

PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARDS
FIRE DAMAGE HAZARDS:
•Read the Installation/Operation Manual for this air conditioning unit prior to operating.
•Use air conditioner on a single dedicated circuit within the specified amperage rating.
•Connect to a properly grounded circuit only.
•Do not use extension cords with the unit.
•Failure to follow these instructions can result in fi re and minor to serious property damage.
WATER DAMAGE HAZARDS:
•Improper installation maintenance, or servicing of the air conditioner unit, or not following the above Safety Warnings can result in water damage to personal items or property.
•Insure that the unit has a suffi cient pitch to the outside to allow water to drain from the unit.
•Do not drill holes in the bottom of the drain pan or the underside of the unit.
•Failure to follow these instructions can result in result in damage to the unit and/or minor to serious property damage.

ELECTRICAL DATA
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Turn off electric power before service or installation.
All electrical connections and wiring MUST be installed by a qualifi ed electrician and conform to the National Electrical Code and all local codes which have jurisdiction.
Failure to do so can result in personal injury or death.
NOTICE
FIRE HAZARD
Not following the above WARNING could result in fi re or electrically unsafe conditions which could cause moderate or serious property damage.
Read, understand and follow the above warning.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
ALL FIELD WIRING MUST MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE (ANSI/NFPA 70) ARTICLE 501.
THE FIELD-PROVIDED CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICE (HACR CIRCUIT BREAKER OR TIME DELAY FUSE) MUST NOT EXCEED THE AMPACITY INDICATED ON THE PRODUCT NAMEPLATE.
IMPORTANT: Before you begin the actual installation of your air conditioner, check local electrical codes and the information below.
Your air conditioner must be connected to a power supply with the same A.C. voltage and frequency (hertz) as marked on the data plate located on the chassis. Only alternating current (A.C.), no direct current (D.C.), can be used.
An overloaded circuit will invariably cause malfunction or failure of the air conditioner therefore, it is extremely important that the electrical power is adequate. Consult your power company if in doubt.

Control Panel
Function Control (Power)
This switch is a double pole, single throw toggle switch. ON - Turns everything on.
(Fan motor runs continuously) OFF - Turns everything off.
Temperature Control
The knob at the bottom is the thermostat which is a cross ambient type used to maintain the desired comfort level. The thermostat reacts only to a change in temperature at the bulb location - turn the knob clockwise to set cooler, counterclockwise for warmer.
Exclusive
Friedrich leads with the fi rst UL Listed Room Air Conditioners designed to cool living quarters and other enclosures situated in hazardous locations where specifi c volatile fl ammable liquids or gases are handled or used with enclosed containers or systems.

COMPONENT DEFINITIONS
A. Mechanical components
Plenum assembly
Diffuser with directional louvers used to direct the conditioned airflow.
Blower wheel
Attaches to the indoor side of the fan motor shaft and is used for distributing unconditioned, room side air through the heat exchanger and delivering conditioned air into the room.
Slinger fan blade
Attaches to the outdoor side of the fan motor shaft and is used to move outside air through the condenser coil, while slinging condensate water out of the base pan and onto the condenser coil, thus lowering the temperature and pressures within the coil.
B. Electrical components
Thermostat Control
Used to maintain the specifi ed room side comfort level.
System Switch
Used to regulate the operation of the fan motor and the compressor or to turn the unit off. For troubleshooting, refer to the wiring diagrams and schematics in the back of this service manual.
Solid State Relay
Used to energize the compressor and fan motor. Each unit has 2, 50 amp, 208/230 volt relays.
Capacitor
Reduces line current and steadies the voltage supply, while greatly improving the torque characteristics of the fan motor and compressor motor.
Fan Motor
Dual shafted fan motor operates the indoor blower wheel and the condenser fan blade simultaneously. (When unit is turned on, the fan motor runs continuously).
C. Hermetic components
Compressor
Motorized device used to compress refrigerant through the sealed system.
Low ambient bypass (hot gas bypass) valve
Used for low ambient cooling operation, the valve is connected between the discharge line at the compressor and the suction process tube. It responds to suction pressure, whcih when reduced in the system, causes the valve to open and bypass hot gas from the high pressure side to the low pressure side of the system. The valve is preset to open when the suction pressure reaches 88 psig.
Capillary tube
A cylindrical metering device used to evenly distribute the fl ow of refrigerant to the heat exchanger (evaporator coils).
