TO REASSEMBLE:

To  attach  coil  casing  to  blower  unit,  make  sure  3/4”  flanges  on  back  and  sides  of
return air opening of blower casing are bent along perforated edge to inside of casing.
Clearance holes in flange should match up with drive holes on inside of blower cas-
ing. Make sure 3/4” flanges on coil casing are bent up (back and 2 sides only) on sup-
ply  air  side  of  coil  casing  along  perforated  edge.  Do  not  bend  flange  on  front  of  coil
casing. Set supply air side of coil casing (3/4” flanges) into return air opening of blow-
er casing. Replace 6 - #8 screws through flange in coil casing, flange in blower casing
and into drive holes on inside of blower casing, two screws in back and two screws in
each  side.  Do  not  overtighten  sheet  metal  screws,  they  will  strip  easily  if  overtight-
ened.

IMPORTANT:  Configure  the  unit  with  the  indoor  coil  casing  installed  on  air  inlet
(return) side of the blower section. Do not try to configure unit with indoor coil on
discharge (supply) side of blower section.

2.7 VERTICAL UPFLOW

• Electrical  connections  can  be  made  from  either  the  left  or  right  side  of  the  unit.

Refrigerant and condensate drain connections are made on the front of the unit (see
Figures 3 & 4).

• If return air is to be ducted, install duct flush with floor. Use fireproof resilient gasket 1/8

to 1/4 in. thick between duct, unit and floor. Set unit on floor over opening.

2.8 VERTICAL DOWNFLOW

Conversion  to Vertical  Downflow:  A  vertical  upflow  unit  may  be  converted  to  vertical
downflow. (See Figure 3)

• Remove the indoor coil.

• Install coil rails in the top of the coil box (supplied).

• Rotate unit into the downflow position, with the coil compartment on top and the blower com-

partment on bottom.

• Reinstall the indoor coil in its new position.

• Rotate the circuit breaker(s) 180° (see instructions for rotating breaker(s) that follow).

IMPORTANT NOTE:
• In a downflow configuration the internal air filter must not be used.

• A remote air filter should be installed in the return air system

• The remote air filter should be sized for a maximum of 300 feet per minute of air veloci-

ty for the CFM required.

WARNING

IF  UNIT  IS TO  BE  INSTALLED WITHOUT  AN  INDOOR  COIL,  RETURN  DUCT  OR
PLENUM, IT MUST NOT BE IN STALLED DIRECTLY OVER COMBUSTIBLE MATE-
RIAL.  IF  INSTALLED WITHOUT  AN  INDOOR  COIL WITH  A  RETURN  DUCT  OR
PLENUM, THE  AIR  PLENUM  OR  DUCT  MUST  HAVE  A  SOLID  SHEET  METAL
BOTTOM WITH  NO  RETURN  AIR  OPENINGS,  REGISTERS  OR  FLEXIBLE  AIR
DUCTS  LOCATED  DIRECTLY  UNDER THE  UNIT.  EXPOSING  COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIAL TO THE  RETURN  OPENING  OF  AN  UPFLOW  UNIT WITHOUT  AN
INDOOR  COIL  CAN  CAUSE  A  FIRE  RESULTING  IN  PROPERTY  DAMAGE,  PER-
SONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
