Duct Covers
Units are shipped with the side duct openings covered and a
covering over the bottom of the unit. For bottom duct
application, no duct cover changes are necessary. For side
duct application, remove the side duct covers and install over
the bottom duct openings. The panels removed from the side
duct connections are designed to be reused by securing each
panel to its respective downflow opening. But keep in mind that
the supply panel is installed with the painted surface UP, facing
the heat exchanger, while the return panel is installed with the
painted surface DOWN, facing the downflow duct opening. The
supply panel is secured with the bracket (already in place from
the factory) and two screws. It’s a snug fit for the panel when
sliding it between the heat exchanger and unit bottom, but there
is room. The return panel is secured with four screws.
When fastening ductwork to side duct flanges on unit,
insert screws through duct flanges only. DO NOT insert
screws through casing. Outdoor ductwork must be
insulated and water-proofed.

Condensate Drain
The side condensate drain is reversible and maybe re-oriented to
the rear of the cabinet to facilitate condensate piping. A
condensate drain connection is available through the base pan
for piping inside the roof curb. Trap the connection per Figure 20.
The trap and drain lines should be protected from freezing.
Plumbing must conform to local codes. Use a sealing compound
on male pipe threads. Install condensate drain line from the 3/4
inch NPT female connection on the unit to an open drain.

Compressors
The scroll compressor used in this product is specifically
designed to operate with R-410A Refrigerant and cannot be
interchanged.
This system uses R-410A Refrigerant which operates at
higher pressures than R-22. No other refrigerant may be
Figure 18: Return Downflow Plenum With Panel
16Johnson Controls Unitary Products
used in this system.
The compressor also uses a polyolester (POE oil), Mobil 3MA
POE. This oil is extremely hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs water
readily. POE oil can absorb 15 times as much water as other oils
designed for HCFC and CFC refrigerants. Take all necessary
precautions to avoid exposure of the oil to the atmosphere.
Do not leave the system open to the atmosphere. Unit
damage could occur due to moisture being absorbed by
the POE oil in the system. This type of oil is highly
susceptible to moisture absorption
POE (polyolester) compressor lubricants are known to cause
long term damage to some synthetic roofing materials.
Exposure, even if immediately cleaned up, may cause
embrittlement (leading to cracking) to occur in one year
or more. When performing any service that may risk
exposure of compressor oil to the roof, take precautions
to protect roofing.
Procedures which risk oil leakage include, but are not limited to,
compressor replacement, repairing refrigerant leaks, replacing
refrigerant components such as filter drier, pressure switch,
metering device or coil.

Filters
Two-inch filters are supplied with each unit. One-inch filters may
be used with no modification to the filter racks. Filters must
always be installed ahead of evaporator coil and must be kept
clean or replaced with same size and type. Dirty filters reduce
the capacity of the unit and result in frosted coils or safety
shutdown. Refer to physical data tables, for the number and
size of filters needed for the unit. The unit should not be
operated without filters properly installed.
Make sure that panel latches are properly positioned on
the unit to maintain an airtight seal.

provisions of National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA No.
70 – Latest Edition (in U.S.A.), current Canadian Electrical
Code C221, and/or local ordinances. The unit must be
electrically grounded in accordance with NEC and CEC as
specified above and/or local codes.
Avoid damage to internal components if drilling holes for
disconnect mounting.
NOTE: Since not all local codes allow the mounting of a
disconnect on the unit, please confirm compliance with
local code before mounting a disconnect on the unit.
Electrical line must be sized properly to carry the load. USE
COPPER CONDUCTORS ONLY. Each unit must be wired with
a separate branch circuit fed directly from the meter panel and
properly fused.
Refer to Figures 21, 22, 23 and 24 for typical field wiring and to
the appropriate unit wiring diagram mounted inside control
doors for control circuit and power wiring information.
When connecting electrical power and control wiring to
the unit, water-proof connectors must be used so that
water or moisture cannot be drawn into the unit during
normal operation. The above water-proofing conditions
will also apply when installing a field supplied disconnect
switch.
