WARNING (SEE SECTION 7.0: AIR FILTER)

Do not operate the system without filters. A portion of the dust entrained in the air may temporarily lodge in the duct runs and at the supply registers. Any circulated dust particles could be heated and charred by contact with the air handler elements. This residue could soil ceilings, walls, drapes, carpets and other articles in the house.

Soot damage may occur with filters in place, when certain types of candles, oil lamps or standing pilots are burned.

WARNING

The first 36 inches of supply air plenum and ductwork must be constructed of sheet metal as required by NFPA 90B. The supply air plenum or duct must have a solid sheet metal bottom directly under the unit with no openings, registers or flexible air ducts located in it. If flexible supply air ducts are used they may be located only in the vertical walls of a rectangular plenum, a minimum of 6 inches from the solid bottom. Metal plenum or duct may be connected to the combustible floor base, if not, it must be connected to the unit supply duct flanges such that combustible floor or other combustible material is not exposed to the supply air opening from the downflow unit. Exposing combustible (non-metal) material to the supply opening of a downflow unit can cause a fire resulting in property damage, personal injury or death.

Exceptions to downflow warnings:

• Installations on concrete floor slab with supply air plenum and ductwork completely encased in not less than 2 inches of concrete (See NFPA 90B).

CAUTION (SEE SECTION 3.3: HORIZONTAL)

Horizontal units must be configured for right hand air supply or left hand air supply. Horizontal drain pan must be located under indoor coil. Failure to use the drain pan can result in property damage.

CAUTION (SEE SECTION 2.1: RECEIVING)

In compliance with recognized codes, it is recommended that an auxiliary drain pan be installed under all evaporator coils or units containing evaporator coils that are located in any area of a structure where damage to the building or building contents may occur as a result of an overflow of the coil drain pan or a stoppage in the primary condensate drain piping. See accessories for auxiliary horizontal overflow pan RXBM.

NOTICE

2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

2.1 IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT EFFICIENCY AND INDOOR

2.1 AIR QUALITY

Central cooling and heating equipment is only as efficient as the duct system that carries the cooled or heated air. To maintain efficiency, comfort and good indoor air quality,

FIGURE 1

MIGRATION OF DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES, FUMES, AND ODORS INTO LIVING SPACES

▲WARNING

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Poisoning

Can Cause Severe Injury or Death.

Carbon Monoxide from the exhaust of motor vehicles and other fuel burning devices can be drawn into the living space by the operation of the central heating and air conditioning system.

Exhaust from motor vehicles, generators, garden tractors, mowers, portable heaters, charcoal and gas grills, gasoline powered tools, and outdoor camping equipment contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can kill you. You cannot see it, smell it, or taste it.

•

Do NOT operate an automobile or any engine in a garage for more than the few seconds it takes to enter or exit the garage.

•

Do NOT operate any fuel-burning device in an enclosed or partly enclosed space, or near building windows, doors or air intakes.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada recommend the installation of UL or CSA certified Carbon Monoxide Alarm(s) in every home.

WARNING

• If air-moving equipment or ductwork is located in spaces containing fuel burning appliances such as water heaters or boilers - all joints, seams, and openings in the equipment and duct must also be sealed to prevent depressurization of the space and possible migration of combustion byproducts including carbon monoxide into the living space.

NOTICE

it is important to have the proper balance between the air being supplied to each room and the air returning to the cooling and heating equipment.

Proper balance and sealing of the duct system improves the efficiency of the heating and air conditioning system and improves the indoor air quality of the home by reducing the amount of airborne pollutants that enter homes from spaces where the ductwork and/or equipment is located. The manufacturer and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star Program recommend that central duct systems be checked by a qualified contractor for proper balance and sealing.

NOTICE

2.2 RECEIVING

3.0 APPLICATIONS

3.1 VERTICAL UPFLOW AND HORIZONTAL LEFT

• Vertical Upflow is the factory configuration for all models (see Figure 3).

• If a side return air opening is required, field fabricate a return air plenum with an opening large enough to supply unit and strong enough to support unit weight.

If return air is to be ducted, install duct flush with floor. Use fireproof resilient gasket 1/8

• to 1/4 in. thick between duct, unit and floor. Set unit on floor over opening.

3.2 VERTICAL DOWNFLOW AND HORIZONTAL RIGHT

Conversion to Vertical Downflow: A vertical upflow unit may be converted to vertical downflow. Remove the door and indoor coil and reinstall 180° from original position (see Figure 6). (See kit model number on page 35.)

IMPORTANT: To comply with certification agencies and the National Electric Code for horizontal right application, the circuit breaker(s) on field-installed electric heater kits must be re-installed per procedure below so that the breaker switch “on” position and marking is up and, “off” position and marking is down.

- To turn breaker(s): Rotate one breaker pair (circuit) at a time starting with the one on the right. Loosen both lugs on the load side of the breaker. Wires are bundles with wire ties, one bundle going to the right lug and one bundle going to the left lug.

- Using a screwdriver or pencil, lift white plastic tab with hole away from breaker until breaker releases from mounting opening (see Figure 5).

- With breaker held in hand, rotate breaker so that “on” position is up, “off” position is down with unit in planned vertical mounting position. Insert right wire bundle into top right breaker lug, ensuring all strands of all wires are inserted fully into lug, and no wire insulation is in lug.

- Tighten lug as tight as possible while holding circuit breaker. Check wires and make sure each wire is secure and none are loose. Repeat for left wire bundle in left top circuit breaker lug.

- Replace breaker by inserting breaker mounting tab opposite white pull tab in opening, hook mounting tab over edge in opening.

- With screwdriver or pencil, pull white tab with hole away from breaker while setting that side of breaker into opening. When breaker is in place, release tab, locking circuit breaker into location in opening.

FIGURE 5

OTATING CIRCUIT BREAKER

- Repeat above operation for remaining breaker(s) (if more than one is provided).

- Replace single point wiring jumper bar, if it is used, on line side of breaker and tighten securely.

- Double check wires and lugs to make sure all are secure and tight. Check to make sure unit wiring to circuit breaker load lugs match that shown on the unit wiring diagram.

• RXHB combustible floor base is used for all unit sizes. Unit must be centered on combustible base in the width dimension (143/8”). (See Section 14.0 for more information on the combustible floor base.)

DRIP LOOP: When installing the unit in down-flow or horizontal-right positions, make sure that the wires coming from the motor form a proper drip loop. This allows water to cascade off the lowest point of the wiring before it enters the motor head. This may require cutting the wire tie and installing a new wire tie to form this loop.

WARNING

The RXHB-17, RXHB-21 or RXHB-24 combustible floor base is required when some units with electric heat are applied downflow on combustible flooring. Failure to use the base can cause a fire resulting in property damage, personal injury or death. See CLEARANCES for units requiring a combustible floor base. See the accessory section in this manual for combustible floor base RXHB.

• Rotate unit into the downflow position, with the coil compartment on top and the blower compartment on bottom.

• The set of coil rails must be moved for vertical down-flow and horizontal right application. Remove the coil rail from the factory configuration (6 screws in all). Fastener clearance holes will need to be drilled in the cabinet sides (proper hole locations are marked with “dimples” for this purpose). Note that the shorter (no notch) coil rail must be mounted on the left-hand side to provide clearance for the drain pan condensate connection boss.

• Reinstall the indoor coil 180° from original position. Ensure the retaining channel is fully engaged with the coil rail. (See Figure 6, Detail A.)

• Secondary drain pan kits RXBM- are required when the unit is configured for the horizontal right position over a finished ceiling and/or living space. (See Section 14.0: Accessories - Kits - Parts.)

IMPORTANT: Units cannot be installed horizontally laying on or suspended from the back of the unit.

3.3 INSTALLATION IN AN UNCONDITIONED SPACE

The exterior cabinet of an air handler has a greater risk of sweating when installed in an unconditioned space than when it is installed in the conditioned space. This is primarily

due to the temperature of the conditioned air moving through the air handler and the air circulating around the unit where it is installed. For this reason, we recommend the following for all air handler applications, but special attention should be paid to those installed in unconditioned spaces:

• Duct sizing and airflow are critical and based on the equipment selected

• Supply and return duct attachment: If other than the factory flanges are used, the attachment of ducting must be insulated and tight to prevent sweating.

• No perimeter supply flanges are provided. If a full perimeter supply duct is used, it is the responsibility of the installer to provide duct flanges as needed, to secure and seal the supply duct to prevent air leakage and the sweating that will result.

• All wire penetrations should be sealed. Take care not to damage, remove or compress insulation in those cases.

• In some cases, the entire air handler can be wrapped with insulation. This can be done as long as the unit is completely enclosed in insulation, sealed and service access is provided to prevent accumulation of moisture inside the insulation.

• As required, use a secondary pan that will protect the structure from excessive sweating or a restricted coil drain line.

• If a heater kit is installed, be sure the breaker or disconnect cover is sealed tightly to the door panel.

3.4 INSTALLATION IN MOBILE/MANUFACTURED HOMES

1. Air handler must be secured to the structure using “L” brackets or pipe strap.

2. Allow a minimum of 24 inches (610 mm) front clearance required to access doors.

3. Recommended method for securing air handler:

A. If air handler is against the wall, secure top of air handler to wall stud using two

16ga thick angle brackets one on each side. Attach brackets with No. 10 self-tap-

⁄2 long screws to air handler and use 5⁄16 lag screws 11⁄2 long to wall stud.

ping Secure bottom of unit with two 16ga “L” brackets with No. 10 self-tapping screws to air handler and use

B. If air handler is away from wall attach pipe strap to top of air handler using No. 10

⁄2 long self-tapping screws on both sides. Angle strap down and away from back of air handler, remove all slack, and fasten to wall stud of structure using screws 1

⁄2 long. Secure bottom of unit with two 16ga “L” brackets with No. 10

self-tapping screws to air handler and use

⁄16 lag screws 11⁄2 long to floor.

4.0 ELECTRICAL WIRING

Field wiring must comply with the National Electric Code (C.E.C. in Canada) and any applicable local ordinance.

WARNING

isconnect all power to unit before installing or servicing. More than one

is conne ct sw itch may b e requ ired t o de-energ ize the equipment.

azardous voltage can cause severe personal injury or death.

4.1 POWER WIRING

It is important that proper electrical power is available for connection to the unit model

eing installed. See the unit nameplate, wiring diagram and electrical data in the installa-

b tion instructions.

• If required, install a branch circuit disconnect of adequate size, located within sight of, and readily accessible to the unit.

• IMPORTANT: After the Electric Heater is installed, units may be equipped with one, two, or three 30/60 amp. circuit breakers. These breaker(s) protect the internal wiring in the event of a short circuit and serve as a disconnect. Circuit breakers installed within the unit do not provide over-current protection of the supply wiring and therefore may be sized larger than the branch circuit protection.

• Supply circuit power wiring must be 75°C minimum copper conductors only. See Electrical Data in this section for ampacity, wire size and circuit protector requirement. Supply circuit protective devices may be either fuses or “HACR” type circuit breakers.

• Power wiring may be connected to either the right, left side or top. Three

/32” dia. concentric knockouts are provided for connection of power wiring to unit.

• Power wiring is connected to the power terminal block in unit control compartment.

/8”, 13/32”,

4.2 CONTROL WIRING

IMPORTANT: Class 2 low voltage control wire should not be run in conduit with power wiring and must be separated from power wiring, unless class 1 wire of proper voltage rating is used.

• Low voltage control wiring should be 18 Awg. color-coded. For lengths longer than 100 ft., 16 Awg. wire should be used.

• Low voltage control connections are made to low voltage pigtails extending from top of air handler (upflow position - see Figure 3). Connections for control wiring are made with wire nuts. Control wiring knockouts (5/8 and 7/8) are also provided on the right and left side of the unit for side connection.

• See wiring diagrams attached to indoor and outdoor sections to be connected, or control wiring diagram booklet supplied with outdoor heat pump section for wiring connection.

• Make sure, after installation, separation of control wiring and power wiring has been maintained.
