a.

 

If you have purchased a vertical drip pan, you will need to install the three long 
screws in the three center holes in the bottom flange.   

6.

 

Remove the two starter screws and place a nylon washer on each and reinstall. 

7.

 

Tighten all screws. 

 

 

 

INSTALL THE DRIP PAN 

1.

 

Two hose fittings were provided with the drip pan, a right angle and a straight one.  Choose 

one and install it on the drip pan.  Be sure if you use the right angle fitting it is facing the 
desired direction prior to installing the drip pan. 

2.

 

There are three mounting holes in the drip pan, match these with the long mounting screws 

protruding into the enclosure at the bottom of the AC unit.  Push the drip pan onto these 
screws. 

3.

 

Using the three 8-32 keps nuts provided, attach the drip pan to the air conditioner. 

4.

 

Attach the supplied PVC drain tube to the hose fitting on the drip pan.  This tube should be 
routed to the bottom of the enclosure and fed through a 3/8” hole to the outside. 

5.

 

If you purchased a horizontal drip pan, it is installed at the factory and you will only need to 
install the hose fitting and PVC drain hose. 

 

YOU MUST USE THE FACTORY INSTALLED HORIZONTAL DRIP PAN IF YOU INSTALL THE AIR 

CONDITIONER HORIZONTALLY (FIG 2.2) ON THE TOP OF YOUR ENCLOSURE.  FAILURE TO DO SO 
MAY ALLOW CONDENSATE TO DRIP IN AN UNCONTROLLED MANNER CAUSING DAMAGE TO YOUR 
EQUIPMENT. 

 
 
APPLY POWER 

Once the air conditioner is mounted, check the serial label and confirm the voltage required 
and then apply appropriate power as outlined below. 
 

120 VAC units – plug into standard 120 volt, grounded outlet.  Amperage for a 120 VAC unit is 
9.4 amps. 
 
220 – 240 VAC units – this unit will not have a plug on the end.  Connect the wires to an 
appropriate power source using standard safe wiring methods.  Wire colors are as follows: 
  

 

Black or Brown – line 

  

 

White or Blue – line/neutral 

 

 

 

Green or Green/Yellow – ground 

 

A wiring diagram is shown in Fig. 2.4.    Amperage for a 220 VAC unit is 6.9 amps.
