Air Handlers
If an incorrect unit is supplied, it must not be installed and it is to be returned to the
supplier. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for the installation of incorrectly
delivered units. The evaporator coil contains high-pressure inert gas for holding charge.
4.2 Location
This air handler is designed for indoor installation only. Do not install
it outdoors.
When installing the air handler, take consideration to minimize the length of
refrigerant tubing as much as possible. Do not install the air handler in a location either
above or below the condenser that violates the instructions provided with the condenser.
Service clearance is to take precedence. Allow a minimum of 24” in front of the unit for
service clearance. When installing in an area directly over a finished ceiling (such as an
attic), an emergency drain pan is required directly under the unit. See local and state
codes for requirements. When installing this unit in an area that may become wet,
elevate the unit with a sturdy, non-porous material. In installations that may lead to
physical damage (i.e. a garage) it is advised to install a protective barrier to prevent
such damage.
This air handler is designed for a complete supply and return ductwork system. Do
not operate this product without all ductwork attached.
Based upon the actual conditions, if air handler is installed as Fig. A, the air
handler should be concealed in a specific room or space and make sure the air handler
is not accessible to the general public.
Based upon the actual conditions, if air handler is installed as Fig. B, make sure
that there is enough space for care and maintenance and the height between the air
handler and ground is above 2500mm. And the air handler is not accessible to the
general public. And the air handler should be maintained horizontal 5° angle to ensure
smooth drainage.
