SHIPPING INSPECTION
Upon receiving the product, inspect it for damage from shipment.
Shipping damage, and subsequent investigation is the responsibility of the carrier. Verify the model number, specifications,
electrical characteristics, and accessories are correct prior to
installation. The distributor or manufacturer will not accept claims
from dealers for transportation damage or installation of incorrectly shipped units.
CODES & REGULATIONS
This product is designed and manufactured to comply with national codes. Installation in accordance with such codes and/or
prevailing local codes/regulations is the responsibility of the installer. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for equipment installed in violation of any codes or regulations.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued various regulations regarding the introduction and disposal
of refrigerants. Failure to follow these regulations may harm the
environment and can lead to the imposition of substantial fines.
These regulations may vary by jurisdiction. A certified technician
must perform the installation and service of this product. Should
you have any questions please contact the local office of the EPA.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
When reporting shortages or damages, or ordering repair parts,
give the complete product model and serial numbers as stamped
on the product. Replacement parts for this product are available
through your contractor or local distributor. For the location of
your nearest distributor consult the white business pages, the
yellow page section of the local telephone book or contact:

NOW WHERE THE SWITCH IS
This ceiling mount air handler is available in cooling capacities
of 1.5, 2 and 2.5 nominal tons of cooling with a PSC motor (ACNF18,
ACNF24 and ACNF30) and 2 and 2.5 nominal tons of cooing with a
constant torque (EEM) motor (ACNF25 and ACNF31). Electric heat
models are available in capacities of 0, 5, 6, 8 and 10 kW.
The unit is designed to be installed in a horizontal position above
a dropped ceiling. Do NOT install this unit outside the structure.
These models are designed for INDOOR USE ONLY.
PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Carefully read all instructions for the installation prior to installing product. Make sure each step or procedure is understood and
any special considerations are taken into account before starting
installation. Assemble all tools, hardware and supplies needed
to complete the installation. Some items may need to be purchased
locally. Make sure everything needed to install the product is on
hand before starting.
Before attempting any installation, the following points should
be considered:
• Structural strength of supporting members
• Clearances and provision for servicing
• Power supply and wiring
• Air duct connections
• Drain facilities and connections
Installation Clearances
Place this unit as close to the space to be air conditioned as
possible. These units are U.L. listed for installations with zero
clearance to combustible materials. If this unit is installed in a
removable ceiling panel, ensure adequate space is available for
servicing. Run ducts as direct as possible to supply and return
outlets. Use non-flammable weatherproof flexible connectors on
both supply and return connections at unit to reduce noise transmission.
Ducting
Duct work should be fabricated by the installing contractor in
accordance with local codes. Use industry manuals such as such
as NESCA (National Environmental Systems Contractors Association, 1501 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, Virginia 22209) as a guide
when sizing and designing the duct system.
To ensure correct system performance, the ductwork is to be sized
to accommodate 375-425 CFM per ton of cooling with the static
pressure not to exceed 0.5” W.C. Inadequate ductwork that restricts airflow can result in improper performance and compressor or heater failure

Filters
Filters are not provided with unit, and must be supplied and installed in the return air system by the installer. A field installed
filter grille is recommended for easy and convenient access to the
filters for periodic inspection and cleaning. Filters must have
adequate face area for the rated air quantity of the unit. The minimum filter size is 20" x 20" x 1".
Condensate Drain Piping
The coil drain pan has a primary and a secondary drain with 3/4"
NPT female connections. The connectors required are 3/4" NPT
male, either PVC or metal pipe, and should be hand tightened to a
torque of approximately 37 in-lbs. to prevent damage to the drain
pan connection. An insertion depth between .355 to .485 inches
(3-5 turns) should be expected at this torque. Use the female (3/4
NPT) threaded fitting that protrudes outside of the enclosure for
external connections.
1. Ensure drain pan hole is NOT obstructed.
2. To prevent potential sweating and dripping on to finished
space, it may be necessary to insulate the condensate drain
line located inside the building. Use Armaflex® or similar
material.
A Secondary Condensate Drain Connection has been provided for
areas where the building codes require it. Pitch the drain line 1/
4" per foot to provide free drainage. Insulate drain lines located
inside the building to prevent sweating. Install a condensate trap
to ensure proper drainage. If the secondary drain line is required,
run the line separately from the primary drain and end it where it
can be easily seen.
NOTE: Water coming from this line means the coil primary drain
is plugged and needs clearing.

3" MIN.
The depth of a running trap (Figure 2) should be either 1" or a
depth that permits unrestricted condensate drainage without
excessive air discharge.
Field experience has shown condensate drain traps with an open
vertical Tee between the air handler and the condensate drain
trap can improve condensate drainage in some applications, but
may cause excessive air discharge out of the open Tee. We do not
prohibit this type of drain but we also do not recommend it due to
the resulting air leakage. Regardless of the condensate drain design
used, it is the installer’s responsibility to ensure the condensate
drain system is of sufficient design to ensure proper condensate
removal from the coil drain pan.

The installation must include a “P” style trap that is located as
close as is practical to the evaporator coil. See Figure 1 for details
of a typical condensate line “P” trap.
NOTE: Trapped lines are required by many local codes. In the
absence of any prevailing local codes, please refer to the requirements listed in the Uniform Mechanical Building Code.
A drain trap in a draw-through application prevents air from
being drawn back through the drain line during fan operation
thus preventing condensate from draining, and if connected to a
sewer line to prevent sewer gases from being drawn into the airstream during blower operation. In a blow-through application
the drain trap prevents conditioned air from escaping. It is permissible in this application to use a shallow trap design sometimes referred to as a running trap.

Figure 2
When coils are installed above ceilings, or in other locations
where damage from condensate overflow may occur, it is MAN-
DATORY to install a field fabricated auxiliary drain pan under the
coil cabinet enclosure. Drain lines from the auxiliary pan must be
installed and terminated so that the homeowner can see water
discharges. A primary condensate drain connection is located in
the drain pan on the bottom of the coil / enclosure assembly. The
female (3/4 fpt) threaded fitting that protrudes outside of the enclosure is used for external connections.
NOTE: Wire size based on 60°C rated wire insulation and 30°C
Ambient Temp. (86°F).
For branch circuit wiring (main power supply to unit disconnect),
determine the minimum wire size for the length of run from Table
1 using the circuit ampacity found on the unit rating plate. From
the unit disconnect to unit, the smallest wire size allowable in
Table 1 may be used, as long as the disconnect is in sight of the
unit.
