These condensing units are designed for outdoor installation
on a roof or at ground level. Every unit is completely piped and
wiredatthefactory andis shippedready forimmediate installa
tion.Only the liquid and suction linesto the evaporator coil, the
control wiring and the main power wiring are required to com
plete the installation. Each unit is dehydrated, evacuated, leak
tested and pressure tested at 450 psig before being pressur
izedwith aholding charge of refrigerant-22 forshipment and/or
storage.
Allcontrols arelocatedin thefront ofthe unitand arereadilyac

NOTE: On bonded roofs, check for special installation
requirements.
GROUND LEVEL LOCATIONS
The units must be installed on a one-piece level concrete slab
with a minimum thickness of 4 inches. The length and width
should be at least 6 inches greater than the units overall base
dimensions. Refer to Figure 4.
Footers under the slab that extend below the frost line is rec
ommended.Any strain on the refrigerantlines may cause are
frigerant leak. The slab should not be tied to the building
foundation because noise and vibration will telegraph into the
building.
A unit can also be supported by concrete piers. These piers
should (1) extend below the frost line, (2) be located under the
-
unit's four corners, and (3) be sized to carry the entire unit
weight. Refer to Figure 1 and Table 2 for the center of gravity
and unit weight.

LOCATION
Use the following guidelines to select a suitable location for
these units.
1. The condensing unit is designed for outdoor installation
only.Thecondenser fans arethe propeller typeand are not
suitable for use with ductwork.
2. The condensing unit and the evaporator blower should be
installedas close together as possible and with a minimum
numberof bendsin therefrigerant piping.Refer to“RE
FRIGERANT PIPING” for additional information.
3. The condensing unit should not be installed where normal
operating sounds may be objectionable. On either rooftop
orground levelinstallations, rubberpadding canbe applied
between the base rails and their supports to lessen any
transmission of vibration.
tororarchitect iftheroof isbonded.Choose alocationwith ade
quate structural strength to support the unit.
The condensing unit must be mounted on solid level supports.
The supports can be channel iron beams or wooden beams
treated to reduce deterioration.
Aminimum of two (2) beams are required to support each unit.
The beams should: (1) Be positioned perpendicular to the roof
joists.(2)Extend beyondthedimensions oftheunit todistribute
the load on the roof. (3) Be capable of adequately supporting
theentire unitweight. Referto Figure1 and Table2for loaddis
tribution and weights.

CAUTION: Care should be taken to protect the unit from tam
-
pering and unauthorized persons from injury.
Screws on access panels will prevent casual tam
pering. Additional safety precautions such as
fences around the unit or locking devices on the
panels may be advisable. Check local authorities
for safety regulations.
RIGGING AND HANDLING
Exercise care when moving the unit. Do not remove any pack
aging until the unit is near the place of installation.
Rigthe unit by attachingchain or cable slingswith hooks to the
-
round lifting holes provided in the base rails.
-
CAUTION: Spreaders, longer than the largest dimension
WARNING:BEFORE LIFTING A UNIT, MAKE SURE THAT
Units may also be moved or liftedwith a fork-lift from the front,
rear or the compressor end only through the slotted openings
provided in the base rails.

POWER WIRING
Check the voltage of the power supply against the data on the
unit nameplate. Check the size of the power wire, the discon
nect switch and the fuses against the data on Table 3.
NOTE: Copperconductors must be installed between the dis
connect switch and the unit.
Refer to Figure 4 for the location of the power wire access
openingthrough thefront ofthe unit.This openingwill requirea
field-supplied conduit fitting.
The field-supplied disconnect switch must be suitable for an
outdoor location. Although it should be installed near the unit,
do NOT
secure it to the unit cabinet.
Refer to Figure 3 for typical field wiring.
CONTROL WIRING
Refer to Figure 4 for the location of the control wire access
opening through the front of the unit.
Route the necessary low voltage control wires (18 AWG min.)
from the TB1 terminal block inside of the unit control box
through this access opening to the room thermostatand to the
evaporator blower motor controller.

-
CAUTION: LENGTH OF FORKS MUST BE A MINIMUM OF
54" (when lifting from the compressor end of the
unit).
Remove the nesting brackets from the four corners on top of
the unit. All screws that are removed to take these brackets off
must be replaced on the unit.
CLEARANCES
All units require certain minimum clearances for proper operation and service. Refer to Figure 4 for these clearances.
WARNING:Donot permit overhanging structures or shrubs to
obstruct condenser air discharge.
The room thermostat should be located on an inside wall approximately 56" above the floor where it will not be subject to
drafts, sun exposure or heat from electrical fixtures or appliances. Follow manufacturer's instructions enclosed with thermostat for general installation procedure.
Refer to Figure 3 for typical field wiring.
COMPRESSOR
Afterthe unit isin itsfinal position, thehold-down nutssecuring
the compressor should be backed off to allow the compressor
to move freely on its springs. Remove 4 shipping clips by slip
ping them from around the springs. See tag on compressor for
instructions on installing the rubber grommets and retightening the nuts.
Additional height may be required for snow clearance if winter
operation is expected.
POWER AND CONTROL WIRING
Install electrical wiring in accordance with the latest National
Electrical Code (NFPA Standard No. 70) and/or local regula
tions. The unit should be grounded in accordance with these
COMPRESSOR CRANKCASE HEATER
The compressor is equipped with a crankcase heater to pre
vent refrigerant from mixing with crankcase oil during the
“OFF” cycle. The heater will be energized when the compres
-
sor is not running providing the unit disconnect switch is
closed.
