GENERAL
The information contained in this manual has been prepared to assist in the proper
installation, operation and maintenance of the air conditioning system. Improper
installation, or installation not made in accordance with these instructions, can result
in unsatisfactory operation and/or dangerous conditions, and can cause the related
warranty not to apply.
Read this manual and any instructions packaged with separate equipment required
to make up the system prior to installation. Retain this manual for future reference.
To achieve optimum efficiency and capacity, the indoor cooling coils listed in the
condensing unit specification sheet should be used.
IMPORTANT: We recommend replacement of any HVAC equipment that has been
subjected to flooding in order to avoid any risk of injury or harm.
IMPORTANT: Use all available safety precautions during the installation and servicing of any HVAC equipment.
APPLICATION
Before installing any air conditioning equipment, a duct analysis of the structure and
a heat gain calculation must be made. A heat gain calculation begins by measuring
all external surfaces and openings that gain heat from the surrounding air and
quantifying that heat gain. A heat gain calculation also calculates the extra heat
load caused by sunlight and by humidity removal.
There are several factors that the installers must consider:
• Outdoor unit location • Proper equipment evacuation
• System refrigerant charge • Indoor unit airflow
• Indoor unit blower speed • Supply and return air duct design and sizing
• System air balancing • Diffuser and return air grille location and sizing
LOCATING UNIT
CONDENSER LOCATION
Consult local and national building codes and ordinances for special installation
requirements. Following location information will provide longer life and simplified
servicing of the outdoor condenser.
NOTE: These units must be installed outdoors. No ductwork can be attached, or
other modifications made, to the discharge grille. Modifications will affect performance or operation.
OPERATIONAL ISSUES
• IMPORTANT: Locate the condenser in a manner that will not prevent, impair or
compromise the performance of other equipment horizontally installed in proximity to the unit. Maintain all required minimum distances to gas and electric
meters, dryer vents, exhaust and inlet openings. In the absence of National
Codes, or manaufacturers’ recommendations, local code recommendations
and requirements will take presidence.
• Refrigerant piping and wiring should be properly sized and kept as short as
possible to avoid capacity losses and increased operating costs.
• Locate the condenser where water run off will not create a problem with the
equipment. Position the unit away from the drip edge of the roof whenever possible. Units are weatherized, but can be affected by water pouring into the unit
from the junction of rooflines, without protective guttering.
!
WARNING
THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER ANY
DAMAGE OR DEFECT TO THE
AIR CONDITIONER CAUSED BY
THE ATTACHMENT OR USE OF
ANY COMPONENTS. ACCESSORIES OR DEVICES (OTHER
THAN THOSE AUTHORIZED BY
THE MANUFACTURER) INTO,
ONTO OR IN CONJUNCTION
WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER.
YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT
THE USE OF UNAUTHORIZED
COMPONENTS, ACCESSORIES
OR DEVICES MAY ADVERSELY
AFFECT THE OPERATION
OF THE AIR CONDITIONER AND
MAY ALSO ENDANGER LIFE
AND PROPERTY. THE MANUFACTURER DISCLAIMS ANY
RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUCH
LOSS OR INJURY RESULTING
FROM THE USE OF SUCH
UNAUTHORIZED COMPONENTS,
ACCESSORIES OR DEVICES.

CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENT
The metal parts of this unit may be subject to rust or deterioration if exposed to a
corrosive environment. This oxidation could shorten the equipment’s useful life.
Corrosive elements include, but are not limited to, salt spray, fog or mist in seacoast
areas, sulphur or chlorine from lawn watering systems, and various chemical contaminants from industries such as paper mills and petroleum refineries.
If the unit is to be installed in an area where contaminants are likely to be a problem, special attention should be given to the equipment location and exposure.
• Avoid having lawn sprinkler heads spray directly on the unit cabinet.
• In coastal areas, locate the unit on the side of the building away from the water-
front.
• Shielding provided by a fence or shrubs may give some protection, but cannot
violate minimum airflow and service access clearances.
• Elevating the unit off its slab or base enough to allow air circulation will help
avoid holding water against the basepan.
Regular maintenance will reduce the build-up of contaminants and help to protect
the unit’s finish.
• Frequent washing of the cabinet, fan blade and coil with fresh water will remove
most of the salt or other contaminants that build up on the unit.
• Regular cleaning and waxing of the cabinet with an automobile polish will pro-
vide some protection.
• A liquid cleaner may be used several times a year to remove matter that will not
wash off with water.
Several different types of protective coatings are offered in some areas. These
coatings may provide some benefit, but the effectiveness of such coating materials
cannot be verified by the equipment manufacturer.
FOR CONDENSERS WITH SPACE LIMITATIONS
In the event that a space limitation exists, we will permit the following clearances:
Single Unit Applications: One condenser inlet air grille side may be reduced to no
less than a 6-inch clearance. Clearances below 6 inches will reduce unit capacity
and efficiency. Do not reduce the 60-inch discharge, or the 24-inch service clearances.
Multiple Unit Applications: When multiple condenser grille sides are aligned, a 6inch per unit clearance is recommended, for a total of 12 inches between two units.
Two combined clearances below 12 inches will reduce capacity and efficiency. Do
not reduce the 60-inch discharge, or 24-inch service, clearances.
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ISSUES
• The condenser should be located away from the living, sleeping and recreation-
al spaces of the owner and those spaces on adjoining property.
• To prevent noise transmission, the mounting pad for the outdoor unit should
not be connected to the structure, and should be located sufficient distance
above grade to prevent ground water from entering the unit.
!
WARNING
DISCONNECT ALL POWER TO UNIT BEFORE STARTING
MAINTENANCE. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK
RESULTING IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

UNIT MOUNTING
If elevating the condensing unit, either on a flat roof or on a slab, observe the
following guidelines.
• The base pan provided elevates the condenser coil 3/4” above the base pad.
• If elevating a unit on a flat roof, use 4” x 4” (or equivalent) stringers positioned
to distribute unit weight evenly and prevent noise and vibration.
FACTORY-PREFERRED TIE-DOWN METHOD
INSTRUCTIONS:
IMPORTANT: These instructions are intended as a guide to securing equipment for windload ratings of “120 MPH sustained wind load” and “3-second, 150 MPH gust.” While this
procedure is not mandatory, the Manufacturer does recommend that equipment be properly secured in areas where high wind damage may occur.
STEP 1: Before installing, clear pad of any dirt or debris.
IMPORTANT: The pad must be constructed of industry-approved materials, and
must be thick enough to accommodate the concrete fastener.
STEP 2: Center basepan on pad, ensuring it is level.
STEP 3: Using metal straps as guides, mark spots on concrete where 4 holes will be
drilled (See Figure 2).
STEP 4: Drill four pilot holes in pad, ensuring that the hole is at least 1/4” deeper than the
concrete fastener being used.
STEP 5: Gauge the amount of washers needed by stacking washers and metal strap in
place, as shown in Figure 2, Detail A. Typical installation requires 6 to 7 washers.
STEP 6: Insert concrete fastener into hole in metal strap, insert washers over end of fas-
tener, and then insert into hole drilled into concrete.
STEP 7: Tighten concrete fastener.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten the concrete fastener. Doing so can weaken the
integrity of the concrete fastener and cause it to break.
STEP 8: Finish unit assembly per unit’s installation instructions.
REFRIGERANT CONNECTIONS
All units are factory charged with Refrigerant 22. All models are supplied with service valves. Keep tube ends sealed until connection is to be made to prevent system contamination.
