RT-SVX22M-EN
Failure to follow this instructions could result in death or
serious injuries.
Verify that the power supply complies with the unit
nameplate specifications.
•
Inspect all control panel components; tighten any
loose connections.
•
Connect properly sized and protected power supply
wiring to a field-supplied/installed disconnect switch
and to the main power terminal block (HTB1) in the unit
control panel.
•
Install proper grounding wires to an earth ground.
Electric Heat Requirements
•
Verify that the power supply complies with the electric
heater specifications on the unit and heater nameplate.
•
Inspect the heater junction box and control panel;
tighten any loose connections.
•
Check electric heat circuits for continuity.
Low Voltage Wiring
(AC & DC) Requirements
•
Install the zone thermostat, with or without switching
subbase.
•
Connect properly sized control wiring to the proper
termination points between the zone thermostat and
the unit control panel.
Condensate Drain Configuration
An evaporator condensate drain connection is provided
on each unit. Refer to
Figure 16, p. 23
and
Figure 17, p. 24
for the appropriate drain location.
The condensate drain pan is factory installed to drain
condensate to the back side of the unit. See
Figure 16, p. 23
and
Figure 17, p. 24
. It can be converted to drain
condensate out the front side of the unit or through the
base.
To convert drain condensate out the front of unit:
1.
Remove evaporator access panel and supply air access
panels.
2. Remove the support panel that the condensate drain
pan exits through.
3. Slide the condensate drain pan out of the unit and
rotate 180°.
4. Slide the condensate drain pan back into the unit, align
the drain with the grommeted opening in the rear
support panel and push until the coupling is seated in
the grommet.
5. Replace the front support panel by aligning the panel
with tabs in the raceway. Align the condensate drain
pan support in the grommeted hole as the panel is put
in place.
6. Replace evaporator access panel and supply air access
panels.
To convert drain condensate through the base
of unit:
1.
Remove evaporator access panel and supply air access
panels.
2. Remove the support panel that the condensate drain
pan exits through.
3. Slide the condensate drain pan out of the unit.
4. Place on a level surface in the position it was removed
from the unit.
5. Remove the plug knockout in the bottom of the
drainpan to convert it to through the base drainage.
6. Plug the original condensate drain opening with a field
supplied 3/4” NPT plug.
7.
Slide the condensate drain pan back into the unit, align
the drain support with the grommeted opening in the
rear support panel and push until the support is seated
in the grommet.
8. Replace the front support panel by aligning the panel
with tabs in the raceway. Align the plugged condensate
drain pan coupling in the grommeted hole as the panel
is put in place.
9. Replace evaporator access panel and supply air access
panels.
A condensate trap must be installed at the unit due to the
drain connection being on the “negative pressure” side of
the fan. Install the P-Trap using the guidelines in
Figure 35,
p. 31
.
A condensate drain line must be connected to the P-Trap.
Pitch the drain lines at least 1/2 inch for every 10 feet of
horizontal run to assure proper condensate flow. Do not
allow the horizontal run to sag causing a possible double-
trap condition which could result in condensate backup
due to “air lock”.
WARNING
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding
Required!
All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified
personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field
wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To
avoid these hazards, you MUST follow requirements for
field wiring installation and grounding as described in
NEC and your local/state electrical codes. Failure to
follow code could result in death or serious injury.
