Installation - Condenser Module
Support Plates
Thermo King recommends securely installing steel support plates (installer
supplied) to the vehicle’s inner roof support structure prior to insulating
and finishing the interior ceiling. These support plates should have correct
size mounting studs or thread inserts installed to safely secure the V-520
Refrigeration, Condenser and Power Pack Modules to the vehicle’s roof.
The support plates should be located to correctly position the refrigeration
module and condenser modules in relationship to the interior bulkhead and
evaporator. See “Dimensions and Weight - Model 50 SPECTRUM” on
page 12.
Preferred Installation Method
(with pre-installed support plates)
1. Trim the foam gasket away from the two drain holes located in the
corners of the condenser module prior to installing on roof.
2. Apply neutral/alcohol cure silicone sealant around each mounting
location on the vehicle’s roof.
3. Install four 1/4-20 lifting eyebolts (installer supplied) into the four
threaded inserts located on the top of the condenser module.
•
Use an appropriate 4-point lifting device with locking lifting hooks
attached to the lifting eyebolts to raise the condenser module into
position on the vehicle’s roof.
4. Align the four top front mounting holes of the condenser module’s
cover with the matching four rear mounting brackets with speed nuts
on the power pack’s frame.
• Install four 6 mm screws, lock washers and flat washers and tighten
securely.
5. Secure condenser module to the roof using the supplied 1/4” lag bolts
and washers and tighten to 36 in-lbs. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN
BOLTS!
