Location Requirements for the Hybrid Cooling Module: 

1.  Within 20 feet of the earth loop line set. Minimize refrigerant line lengths. 

2.  No more than 20 feet higher than the earth loop manifolds. 

3.  With proper clearances around the unit: 

  24 inches minimum on the two sides and back (coil side) 

  36 inches minimum on the front (fan side) 

4.  Away from windows, patios, decks, etc., where unit operation sounds may disturb the 

occupants. 

5.  On a solid, level mounting pad. The mounting pad should extend a minimum of 2 inches 

beyond the cabinet size of the Hybrid Cooling Module.  

The minimum pad size is to be 

16 inches by 40 inches. 

 The pad should NOT be in contact with or be an integral part 

of the building foundation.  The following DiversiTech Pads (or their equivalent) are 
recomm

ended.  The standard pads are 2” thick.  Local building codes may require a 3” 

thick pad.

6.  Where conditions or local codes require the Hybrid Cooling Module to be attached to a 

mounting pad or frame, tie down bolts should be used to fasten through the holes 
provided in the Hybrid Cooling Module feet. 

7.  Elevate the Hybrid Cooling Module per local climate and code requirements to provide 

clearance above estimated snowfall level and ensure adequate water drainage of Hybrid 
Cooling Module. Use snow stand in areas where prolonged freezing temperatures are 
encountered. 

 

Do NOT Locate the Hybrid Cooling Module: 

1. 

On brick, concrete blocks or unstable surfaces 

2. 

Near clothes dryer exhaust vents 

3. 

Near sleeping area or near windows 

4. 

Under eaves where water, snow or ice can fall directly in the unit 

5. 

Within clearance less than 2 feet from a second unit 

6.  Within the minimum distance the Hybrid Cooling Module can be installed from the 

property line, where local zoning ordinances apply.
