INTRODUCTION
The 577D packaged unit is a fully self--contained combination
Category I gas heating/electric air conditioner designed for outdoor
installation (See Fig. 1). Standard units are shipped in a
horizontal--discharge configuration for installation on a
ground--level slab or directly on the ground if local codes permit.
Standard units can be converted to downflow (vertical) discharge
configurations for rooftop applications.
Models with an N in the 13th position of the model number are
dedicated Low NOx units designed for California installations.
These models meet the California maximum oxides of nitrogen
(NOx) emissions requirements of 40 nanograms/joule or less as
shipped from the factory and must be installed in California Air
Quality Management Districts or any other regions in North
America where a Low NOx rule exists.
NOTE
: Low NOx requirements apply only to natural gas
installations.
RECEIVING AND INSTALLATION
Step 1—Check Equipment
IDENTIFY UNIT
The unit model number and serial number are printed on the unit
informative plate. Check this information against shipping papers.
INSPECT SHIPMENT
Inspect for shipping damage while unit is still on shipping pallet. If
unit appears to be damaged or is torn loose from its anchorage, have
it examined by transportation inspectors before removal. Forward
claim papers directly to transportation company. Manufacturer is
not responsible for any damage incurred in transit. Check all items
against shipping list. Immediately notify the nearest Carrier office
if any item is missing. To prevent loss or damage, leave all parts in
original packages until installation.
Step 2—Provide Unit Support
For hurricane tie downs, contact distributor for details and PE
(Professional Engineering) Certificate, if required.
ROOF CURB
Install accessory roof curb in accordance with instructions shipped
with curb (See Fig. 4). Install insulation, cant strips, roofing, and
flashing. Ductwork must be attached to curb.
IMPORTANT
: The gasketing of the unit to the roof curb is critical
for a water tight seal. Install gasketing material supplied with the
roof curb. Improperly applied gasketing also can result in air leaks
and poor unit performance.
Curb should be level to within 1/4 in. (See Fig. 2). This is necessary
for unit drain to function properly. Refer to accessory roof curb
installation instructions for additional information as required.
