Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Systems (NFPA
90B), and all applicable local codes. NFPA publications
are avaialable by writing to: National Fire Protection
Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, ME 02269 or
visit www.NFPA.org on the web.
• Design the duct work according to methods described
by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA).
• The ducts must be properly sized not to exceed .2” W.C.
pressure drop at 400 scfm per nominal ton of cooling
capacity.
• Duct work should be attached directly to the unit flanges
for horizontal applications.
• If roof curb is installed, the ducts must be attached to
the curb hangers, not the unit.
Unconditioned Spaces
All duct work passing through unconditioned space must
be properly insulated to minimize duct losses and prevent
condensation. Use insulation with an outer vapor barrier.
Refer to local codes for insulation material requirements.
Acoustical Duct Work
Certain installations may require the use of acoustical
lining inside the supply duct work.
• Acoustical insulation must be in accordance with the
current revision of the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning
Contractors National Association (SMACNA) application
standard for duct liners.
• Duct lining must be UL classified batts or blankets with
a fire hazard classification of FHC-25/50 or less.
• Fiber duct work may be used in place of internal duct
liners if the fiber duct work is in accordance with the
current revision of the SMACNA construction standard
on fibrous glass ducts. Fibrous duct work and internal
acoustical lining must be NFPA Class 1 air ducts when
tested per UL Standard 181 for Class 1 ducts.
GEnERAl InFoRMAtIon
The Q6SE series heat pump is designed only for outdoor
rooftop or ground level installations. This unit has been
tested for capacity and efficiency in accordance with
AHRI Standards and will provide many years of safe
and dependable comfort, providing it is properly installed
and maintained. Abuse, improper use, and/or improper
maintenance can shorten the life of the appliance and
create unsafe hazards.
Before you install this unit
√
The cooling load of the area to be conditioned must be
calculated and a system of the proper capacity selected.
It is recommended that the area to be conditioned be
completely insulated and vapor sealed.
√
Check the electrical supply and verify the power supply
is adequate for unit operation. If there is any question
concerning the power supply, contact the local power
company.
√
All units are securely packed at the time of shipment and
upon arrival should be carefully inspected for damage
prior to installing the equipment at the job site. Verify
coil fins are straight. If necessary, comb fins to remove
flattened or bent fins. Claims for damage (apparent or
concealed) should be filed immediately with the carrier.
√
Please consult your dealer for maintenance information
and availability of maintenance contracts. Please read
all instructions before installing the unit.
locating the Heat Pump
• Survey the job site to determine the best location for
mounting the outdoor unit.
• Choose an appropriate location that minimizes the
length of the supply and return air ducts.
• Overhead obstructions, poorly ventilated areas, and
areas subject to accumulation of debris should be
avoided.
• Sufficient clearance for unobstructed airflow through the
outdoor coil must be maintained in order to achieve rated
performance. See
Figure 2
for minimum clearances to
obstructions.
Field connections for Electrical Power Supply
• All wiring must comply with current provisions of the
National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70) and with
applicable local codes having jurisdiction.
• The minimum size of electrical conductors and circuit
protection must be in compliance with information listed
on the outdoor unit data label.
• Electrical power supplied to the unit must be adequate
for proper operation of the equipment. The system
must be wired and provided with circuit protection in
accordance with local building codes.
Air Ducts
This unit is designed only for use with a supply and return
duct. Air ducts must be installed in accordance with the
