CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Special Warning for Installation of Furnace or Air Handling Units in
Enclosed Areas such as Garages, Utility Rooms or Parking Areas
Carbon monoxide producing devices (such as an automobile, space
heater, gas water heater, etc.) should not be operated in enclosed areas
such as unventilated garages, utility rooms or parking areas because of
the danger of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning resulting from the exhaust
emissions. If a furnace or air handler is installed in an enclosed area such
as a garage, utility room or parking area and a carbon monoxide producing
device is operated therein, there must be adequate, direct outside
ventilation.
This ventilation is necessary to avoid the danger of CO poisoning which
can occur if a carbon monoxide producing device continues to operate in
the enclosed area. Carbon monoxide emissions can be (re)circulated
throughout the structure if the furnace or air handler is operating in any
mode.
CO can cause serious illness including permanent brain damage or death.

LOCATION
WARNING
THIS AIR HANDLER IS DESIGNED FOR INDOOR
INSTALLATION ONLY. DO NOT INSTALL OUTDOORS.
When installing this air handler consideration to minimize
the length of refrigerant tubing is to be given. Do not install
the air handler in a location either above or below the
condenser that violates the instructions provided with the
condenser. The clearance from a combustible surface to
the unit is 0". However, service clearance is to take
precedence. Allow a minimum of 24" in front of the unit for
service clearance. When installing in an area directly over
a finished ceiling (such as an attic), an emergency drain
pan is required directly under the unit. See local and state
codes for additional requirements. When installing this unit
in an area that may become wet, elevate the unit with a
sturdy, non-porous material. In installations that may lead
to physical damage (i.e. a garage) it is advised to install a
protective barrier to prevent such damage.
DUCTWORK
This air handler is designed for a complete supply and
return ductwork system.
CAUTION
DO NOT OPERATE THIS PRODUCT WITHOUT ALL
DUCTWORK ATTACHED.
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 .5" WC. Inadequate
ductwork that restricts airflow can result in improper
performance and compressor or heater failure. Ductwork
is to be constructed in a manner that limits restrictions and
maintains suitable air velocity. Ductwork is to be sealed to
the unit in a manner that will prevent leakage.
Return Ductwork. DO NOT TERMINATE THE RETURN
DUCTWORK IN AN AREA THAT CAN INTRODUCE
TOXIC, OR OBJECTIONABLE FUMES/ODORS INTO
THE DUCTWORK. The return ductwork is to be introduced
into the air handler bottom (upflow configuration).

Wire Sizing
Wire size is important to the operation of your equipment.
Use the following check list when selecting the appropriate
wire size for your unit.
• Wire size must carry the Minimum Circuit Ampacity
(MCA).
Refer to the NEC (USA) or CSA (Canada) for wire
sizing. The unit MCA for the air handler and the optional
electric heat kit can be found on the unit Series and
Rating Plate.
• Wire size allows for no more than a 2% voltage drop
from the building breaker/fuse panel to the unit.
Refer to the latest edition of the National Electric Code
or in Canada the Canadian Electric Code when
determining the correct wire size. The following table
shows the current carrying capabilities for copper
conductors rated at 75oC with a 2% voltage drop. Use
the Table 7 to determine the voltage drop per foot of
various conductors.

Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP)
Every installation must include an NEC (USA) or CEC
(Canada) approved overcurrent protection device. Also,
check with local or state codes for any special regional
requirements.
This protection can be in the form of fusing or HACR style
circuit breakers. The Series and Rating Plate can be used
as a guide for selecting the MAXIMUM overcurrent device.
NOTE: Fuses or circuit breakers are to be sized larger
than the equipment MCA but not to exceed the MOP.
Electrical Connections – Supply Voltage
USE COPPER CONDUCTORS ONLY.
A knockout is provided on the air handler top panel or side
to allow for the entry of the supply voltage conductors. If
the knockouts on the cabinet sides are used for electrical
conduit, an adapter ring must be used in order to meet
UL1995 safety requirements. An NEC or CEC approved
strain relief is to be used at this entry point. The wire is to
be sized in accordance with the “Electrical Wire and MOP”
section of this manual. Some areas require the supply
wire to be enclosed in conduit. Consult your local codes.
Air Handler Only (Non-Heat Kit Models)
The building supply connects to the stripped black and white
wires contained in the air handler electrical compartment
cavity. A ground screw is also contained in this area. Attach
the supply wires to the air handler conductors as shown in
the unit wiring diagram using appropriately sized solderless
connectors or other NEC or CEC approved means.
Air Handler With Non-Circuit Breaker Heat Kits
A terminal block is provided with the HKR kit to attach the
supply and air handler connections. Follow the HKR
Installation Manual and wiring diagram for complete wiring
details.
Air Handler With Heat Kits Containing a Circuit Breaker.
HKR models with a “C” suffix contain a circuit breaker(s).
The air handler has a plastic cover on the access panel
that will require either one or both sections to be removed
to allow the heat kit circuit breaker(s) to be installed. See
the HKR Installation Instructions for further details. The air
handler wires and supply wires are installed directly onto
the HKR circuit breaker(s) as shown in the HKR Installation
Manual and wiring diagram.
Low Voltage Connections
Several combinations of low voltage schemes are available,
depending on the presence of a heat kit and whether the
heat kit is single-stage or multi-staging. The low voltage
connections are determined by whether the outdoor unit is
a condenser or heat pump. The 24V-control voltage
connects the air handler to the room thermostat and
condenser. Low voltage wiring is to be copper conductors.
A minimum of 18AWG must be used for installations up to
50’ and 16AWG for installations over 50’. Low voltage
wiring can be made through the top of the cabinet or through
either side. See the “Thermostat Wiring” section of this
manual for the ARUF, ARPF and ARPT models for typical
low voltage wiring connections. The Supplemental
Installation Manual included with the AEPT product shows
the wiring diagrams for these models.
REFRIGERANT LINES
WARNING
TO PROTECT THE UNIT WHEN WELDING CLOSE TO
THE PAINTED SURFACES, THE USE OF A QUENCHING
CLOTH IS STRONGLY ADVISED TO PREVENT
SCORCHING OR MARRING OF THE EQUIPMENT FINISH.
SOLDER WITH A MINIMUM OF 5% SILVER IS

CONVERSION TO HORIZONTAL
The “B” series product is not suitable for horizontal
application and must not be used for this type of installation.
The following describes converting to “Horizontal LeftHand”. The only field modification required for conversion
to “Horizontal Right-Hand” is the removal of the plastic
knockouts in the horizontal panel drain connections.

As shown in Figure 8, it is recommended that the
conversion to horizontal be performed before placing the
air handler in its final location and in an area that allows for
access to all sides.
1. Remove the (3) air handler access panels.
2. Remove the “J” shaped bracket that retains the
evaporator coil.
3. Remove the flowrater (or TXV) from the lower left side
access panel and slide out the evaporator coil and
horizontal drain pan.
4. Remove the gasket from the horizontal pan drain
connections.
5. Remove the oval shaped plastic plug from the left side
access panel. Remove the oval shaped rubber gasket
seal from the lower right side access panel.
6. The drain connections for the horizontal pan are sealed
with a thin coating of plastic. Carefully knock out this
plastic seal with a screwdriver and hammer. Note:
The upper drain will become the secondary drain
which is mandatory in many municipalities .

CONDENSATE REMOVAL
The drain pan has a primary and secondary drain
connection (Figure 8). Condensate removal is performed
by attaching a ¾” PVC pipe to the evaporator coil pan and
terminated in accordance with local or state Plumbing/
HVAC codes. The installation must include a “P” style trap
that is located as close as is practical to the evaporator
coil. Exercise caution not to over-tighten the drain
connection(s) in order to prevent possible damage to the
evaporator drain pan. See Figure 9 for details of a typical
condensate line “P” trap.
Installations that are above a finished ceiling may require
a field supplied auxiliary drain pan. Consult local codes on
this requirement.

Use of a condensate removal pump is permitted when
necessary. This condensate pump should have provisions
for shutting off the control voltage should a blocked drain
occur. A trap must be installed between the unit and the
condensate pump.

THEREFORE, A REMOVAL PUMP OR FLOAT SWITCH
MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY OF THESE MATERIALS.
Tip: Priming the “P” trap may avoid improper draining at
the initial installation and at the beginning of the cooling
season.
ACHIEVING 2% LOW LEAKAGE RATE
Ensure that the Neoprene gasket with PSA remains intact
on all surfaces that the access panels are secured to.
These surfaces are the entire length of the wrapper and
areas between the upper tie plate, upper and lower access
panels. Be sure that upper access panel breaker insert
gasket is intact and also flowrator gasket is installed on
the lower access panel. An additional drain hole cover is
required.
ARUF/ARPF MOTOR
Motor Speed Adjustment
The motors in all ARUF and ARPF motors are multi-speed
PSC motors. The color of the wire coming from the motor
to the “COM” terminal on the control board defines in which
speed the motor will operate. The black wire represents
high speed, the red wire represents low speed, and the
blue wire (select models only) represents medium speed.
To change speeds, remove the wire attached to the “COM”
terminal on the control board, and swap it with the wire (on
terminal “M1” or “M2”) with the color that will give the
desired speed.
NOTE: In some models, not all speed taps are allowable
for certain electric heat applications. Refer to air handler
Series and Ratings plate for minimum speed.
AEPT MOTOR
This section references the operation characteristics of
the AEPT model motor only. The ECM control board is
factory set with dipswitch #4 in the “ON” position and all
other dipswitches in the “OFF” position. For most
applications this setting is to be changed according
to the electric heat size and the outdoor unit selection.
The AEPT product uses a General Electric ECMTM motor.
This motor provides many features not available on the
traditional PSC motor. These features include:
• Improved Efficiency
• Constant CFM
• Soft Start and Stop
• Improved Humidity Control
Motor Speed Adjustment
Each ECMTM blower motor has been preprogrammed for
operation at 4 distinct airflow levels when operating in
Cooling, H.P. Heating, Backup Heating (Electric Heating),
and Backup + H.P. Heating. Each mode has 4 levels to
deliver different Air Flow CFM [L/s]. The adjustment is
performed by changing the dipswitch(s) either to an “OFF”
or “ON” position.
Dipswitch Functions
The AEPT air handler motor has an electronic control that
contains an eight (8) position dip switch. The function of
these dipswitches are shown in Table 9.
