The unit must be in a heated space where the surrounding air temperature does not fall below 60°F
(16°C). The unit must be mounted level (horizontal) to obtain proper drainage of water from the heat
exchange element and drip pans. The warranty will be void if these conditions are not met. Typically,
the unit is positioned close to an outside wall or the roof to simplify the connections and keep the
length of insulated ducting required for the fresh air intake to a minimum.
A minimum clearance of 30 inches (76 cm) in front of the unit is recommended to service the heat
exchanger cores and the filters. The unit may be mounted on an equipment platform providing the
drain hoses are clear and there is enough space to open the doors for servicing.
