The following is a brief description of application consid-
erations for the Remington Terminal Air Conditioners and
Heat Pumps. More detailed instructions are included in
IM719 Installation and Maintenance Data - Remington
Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps
and are available from your local Remington representa-
tive or by visiting www.HVACnow.com
Unit Selection
Remington Packaged Terminal products are designed
and built for through-the-wall installation in either new or
existing buildings. Their self-contained refrigerant system
delivers cooling to the desired space. Heating is accom-
plished with electric resistance heat or reverse cycle
technology (heat pump models only). Final selection
should be made with an architect, engineer or by con-
tacting your local Remington Sales Representative.
Wall Opening Requirements

"W (see figure 8 on page 14). The wall
opening should be clear of obstructions to allow the wall
sleeve to slide into it.
When a subbase is used, the opening must start 3" or 4"
above the finished floor (including carpeting) to match
the height of the subbase selected. The subbase is avail-
able in 3" or 4" heights and has adjustable leveling legs
that provide up to an additional 1" height. A 3" or 4" sub-
base is required for 265V models and is optional for
208V/230V models. Figure 1 shows the subbase and
dimensions.
Power Supply Wiring
All wiring must be done in accordance with all local and
National Electrical Code requirements. Time delay fuses
or HACR circuit breakers are required. The chassis has
a universal electric heater, so the kW is determined by
the field-installed power cord. Figure 2 shows the electri-
cal receptacles for each power cord.
Control Wiring
The control pad is factory wired on the unit and ready
for operation. If the control pad will be remote mounted,
it can be removed from the unit, detached from the
control box and wired using an optional 20', 35' or 50'
low voltage wire harness accessory and a remote
mounting plate. A snap-in decorative cover replaces the
control pad on the unit. The mounting location (with
regard to cold drafts, discharge air, outside wall, etc.) is
not critical as the room temperature sensor remains on
the unit.
Remote Wall Thermostat
Units are compatible with most wall thermostats and a
remote thermostat can be installed by removing the con-
trol pad and wiring the remote thermostat to the control
box. A snap-in decorative cover replaces the control pad
on the unit. Mount the thermostat on an inside wall, away
from the unit discharge air stream. It is important to note
that if a remote wall thermostat is used, the standard
control features of the unit control pad (with the excep-
tion of "Remote on/off") will not be available unless the
wall thermostat used includes them.
