CAUTION!
Loop Fluids should be of good quality with no more than 0.50
ppm of chlorides w/copper heat exchangers (125 ppm w/
Cupro-nickel) to prevent corrosion and should also be
fi ltered
to a maximum 800 micron [0.8mm particle size to prevent
erosion of the heat exchangers.
Installation
Condensate Piping
Unit is supplied with condensate drain hose, 5/8
inch [16mm] I.D.
fl exible plastic nonpressure-rated,
protruding from piping side of unit. Connect this hose
to building drain. Avoid making kinks in hose to ensure
an unobstructed
fl ow of condensate from the unit to the
drain.
DO NOT twist, pull hose out, or push excess
hose into unit.
If hose will not connect to your building
drain several options include, relocate end of building
drain, add to or cut hose, use hard plastic or copper
elbow
fi ttings for tight radii (put inside hose). Keep hose
positioned within or over subbase area so hose does not
interfere with front cabinet. Cabinet should not push or
reroute hose. Clamp all joints watertight. Check for leaks.
Internally the drain hose is clamped to drain pan and
pitched correctly. Horizontal runs of condensate hose
should be pitched downward 1/4 inch minimum for every
foot [10mm per 46cm] of hose. Avoid low points because
dirt collects in these areas and may cause blockage. If
blocked the condensate level in drain pan increases.
When the level gets too high, the Console unit has sensor
switch that will shut unit off. Over
fl ow may still occur.
If the building drain connection is parallel with fl oor,
the height can be up to 1-1/2 inches [38mm] above
the subbase for proper pitch and correct drainage. Up
to 5 inches [127mm] above the subbase is allowable,
but drainage will be slower. When the drain connection
is 2-1/2 to 5 inches [64 to 127mm] above, the hose
inside the unit will act as a trap. Heights of more than 5
inches [127mm] above the subbase are NOT allowable
(condensate over
fl ow may occur). If the unit has a
disconnect option, drain locations are limited. See unit
con
fi guration pages for details.
Field installation of a trap or vent is not required unless
speci
fi ed by local codes. Console units are designed
in a blow-through con fi guration. The condensate drain
pan is located on the outlet side of the blower so that
the pressure in the drain pan is higher than atmospheric
pressures.
When drain connection is completed check for proper
drainage and leaks. Correct if necessary.
If trap is used, check and clean often. See Preventive
Maintenance Instructions.
