RECEIVING THE AIR CONDITIONER
Inspect the air conditioner. Check for concealed damage that may have occurred during shipment. Look for dents,
scratches, loose assemblies, evidence of oil, etc. Damage evident upon receipt should be noted on the freight bill.
Damage should be brought to the attention of the delivering carrier -- NOT to Pentair Equipment Protection --
within 15 days of delivery. Save the carton and packing material and request an inspection. Then file a claim with
the delivering carrier.
Pentair Equipment Protection cannot accept responsibility for freight damages; however, we will assist you in any
way possible.
HANDLING AND TESTING THE AIR CONDITIONER
If the air conditioner has been in a horizontal position, be certain it is placed in an upright, vertical or mounting
position for a minimum of five (5) minutes before operating.
Do not attempt to operate the air conditioner while it is horizontal
or on its side, back or front. The refrigeration compressor is filled
with lubricating oil. This will cause permanent damage to the air
conditioner and also voids the warranty.
CAUTION
TEST FOR FUNCTIONALITY BEFORE MOUNTING THE AIR CONDITIONER TO THE ENCLOSURE.
Refer to the nameplate for proper electrical current requirements, and then wire the unit to a properly grounded
power supply using copper conductors only. Power supply wiring should be restrained after field installation to
ensure no contact with internal fan. Minimum circuit ampacity should be at least 125% of the amperage shown on
the unit nameplate. No other equipment should be connected to this circuit to prevent overloading
Immediately after applying power, the evaporator blower (enclosure air) should start running. Operate the
air conditioner with the compressor running for five (5) to ten (10) minutes. You will need to set the cooling
thermostat below the ambient temperature to operate the compressor.
NOTE: For testing purposes only, the thermostat stop screw may be removed (on units so
equipped) to allow settings below 70 F. After testing, replace the stop screw and verify that
the thermostat can not be set below 70 F. Extended operation below 70 F can cause coil
freeze ups resulting in reduced load and/or unit damage.
Condenser air temperatures should be warmer than normal room temperatures within a few minutes after the
condenser impellers start.
See Sequence of Operation on page 6 for specifics on how the unit operates when powered up.

1. Identifies the type/family of air conditioner and the approximate height (i.e. N17 Narrow family
about 17 inch high).
2. This is the air conditioner’s listed capacity in BTU/Hr. at rated conditions. (i.e. 01 = 1000 BTU/Hr. at
125/125a F)
3. 1 = 115 Volt, 2 = 230 Volt, 4 = 460 Volt.
4. 6 = 50/60 Hz or 60 Hz only.
5. Unique set of numbers for each air conditioner which identifies the accessories on a model.
