N. If the outdoor air box was removed, reinstall it prior before placing the Scholar V unit
in its final position. Install the outdoor air box onto the back of the Scholar V heat
pumps or air conditioners before sliding the unit into position. Apply a weather-proof
sealant; i.e., silicone, onto the back of the Scholar V heat pump or air conditioner
prior to installing the outdoor air box to prevent water leaks.
1.10 INSTALLATION THROUGH THE OUTSIDE WALL.
A. Slide the Scholar V heat pump or air conditioner into the wall opening slowly, being
careful to clear the appropriate stubouts. The heat pump or air conditioner, when
installed properly, should have a clearance between the air box outside edge and
the finished outside wall as shown in Figure 6. Proper fit up of the louver/collar
assembly to the air box to the outside wall requires the noted recess dimension to be
maintained after installing the unit.
B. To minimize sound in the classroom, insulate all four sides of the outdoor air box that
is internal to the classroom with the following:
Layer 1: 1/2” Rubatex
Layer 2: 1-1/2” Duct Board
FREEBLOW PLENUM
