Please read this manual thoroughly prior to equipment installation or operation. It is the installer’s responsibility to properly apply and install the equipment. Installation must be in conformance with the NFPA 70-2002 National Electric Code or current edition and Universal Mechanical Code current edition and applicable local or national codes.

Proper installation is not difficult, but it is essential.

Vert-I-Pak Installation Recommendations

For proper unit performance and maximum operating life please refer to the minimum installation clearances below.

Figure 1

VERT-I-PAK® units must be installed on an outside wall. Confined spaces and/or covered areas should be avoided. Units should be installed no closer than 12" apart when two units are side by side. If three of more units are to operate next to one another allow a minimum of 60" between units or pairs of units. Also, a vertical clearance of 60" should be maintained between units. Units installed on the bottom floor should be mounted at least 6" off of the ground.

6"		B
	60" 60"	A
SMALL RECESS OK		LARGER RECESS OK. IF A> 5xB	60"	60"
60"			60"
60"	60"		60"
60"	60"
6"	6"			12"

Figure 2

Any time obstructions are present use the following guidelines for proper spacing from the VERT-I-PAK louver:

•For minor obstructions such as lamp poles or small shrubbery a clearance of 24" from the outdoor louver should be maintained.

•For major obstructions such as a solid fence, wall or other heat rejecting device like a condensing unit, a minimum distance of 72" should be kept.

Important: all 208/230v chassis must be hard wired with properly sized breaker. See nameplate for specific chassis electrical requirements. See page 8 - Figure 5 for unit wiring and wall thermostat wiring. See page 8 for wire size. Use HACR type breakers to avoid nuisance trips. All field wiring must be done in accordance with nec and local codes.

Electrical Requirements

	Wire Size	Use ONLY wiring size recommended for single outlet branch circuit.
	Fuse/Circuit Breaker	Use ONLY type and size fuse or HACR circuit breaker indicated on unit's rating plate (See sample on next page). Proper current
		protection to the unit is the responsibility of the owner.
	Grounding	Unit MUST be grounded from branch circuit to unit, or through separate ground wire provided on permanently connected units.
		Be sure that branch circuit or general purpose outlet is grounded.
	Wire Sizing	Use recommended wire size given in tables and install a single branch circuit. All wiring must comply with local and national
		codes. NOTE: Use copper conductors only.

Note: All field wiring must comply with NEC and local codes. It is the responsibility of the installer to insure that the electrical codes are met.

All 208/230v chassis must be hard wired with properly sized breaker. See nameplate for specific chassis electrical requirements. See figure 8 for unit wiring and wall thermostat wiring. See page 7 for wire size. Use HACR type breakers to avoid nuisance trips. All field wiring must be done in accordance with NEC and local codes.

Electrical Rating Tables

NOTE: Use copper conductors ONLY. Wire sizes are per NEC. Check local codes for overseas applications
