SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing and servicing of air conditioning and heating equipment can be hazardous due to system pressures and
electrical components. Only trained, qualified personnel should install, start-up and service this equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such as cleaning coils or cleaning and replacing
filters. All other operations should be performed by trained service personnel.
When working on the equipment, observe precautions in the literature, tags, stickers and labels attached to the
equipment and to any other safety precautions that apply.
When the HSS
®
Air Handler is operating, some components are operating at high speeds. Personal injury can
result from touching these items with any object. All electrical and service access panels must be returned and
secured in their proper place. Clear surrounding area of all tools, equipment and debris. Check the entire unit to
ensure it's cleanliness.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Installation of the HSS
®
Air Handler should only be performed by a licensed contractor to ensure proper
installation and the safety of the installer. The following are some precautions to be followed for typical
installations.
Always use proper tools and equipment.
No wiring or other work should be attempted without first ensuring that the fan coil is completely disconnected
from the power source and locked out. Always verify that a good ground connection exists prior to energizing
any power sources.
Always review the nameplate on each unit for proper voltage and control configurations. This information is
determined from the components and wiring of the unit and may vary from unit to unit.
Units must be installed level to ensure proper drainage and operation.
Check unit prior to operation to ensure that the condensate water will drain toward the drain connection. An
overflow drain or an overflow switch installed in the HSS
®
Air Handler may be required as a back up to a
clogged primary drain.
Be sure that the drain pan is free from foreign material prior to start up.
Check filter media installation to ensure that it is installed correctly. Use the directional arrows or other
information on the filter to determine the proper flow direction.
Ensure that the air distribution system does not exceed the external static rating of the unit.
WARNING: When the HSS
®
Air Handler unit is in operation, components are rotating at high speeds.
AVERTISSEMENT: Lorsque l'unité de traitement d'air HSS® est en marche, les composants tournent à grande
vitesse.
NOTE:
It is important at this point to consider noise and vibration. If this installation is in a noise sensitive area
then placement of resilient isolators or other means of sound deadening may be necessary.
These fan coil units
are designed for quiet operation, however, all air conditioning equipment will transfer some amount of noise to the
conditioned space. This should be taken into consideration when planning the location of the equipment as well.
