Water Connections 

If you are installing the hot water coil, remove the side 
coil access panel. Slide the coil into the cabinet if not 
already  installed  at  the  factory  and  reinstall  the  door 
panel. After removing plugs in the inlet and outlet holes, 
caulk around connections to prevent leakage.

Pump and pipe sizing should be based on proper flow 
rate. Refer to Bulletin 20-019 for water coil capacities 
based on flow rate. 

Sweat the water connections, then fill the system. Install 
a vent valve at the highest point and a drain valve at the 
lowest point of the water system (refer to Fig. 11). Fill 
and  bleed  the  air  from  the  system.  If  unit  is  in  an 
unconditioned space care must be taken to prevent the 
water  from  freezing.  Use  a  glycol-water  antifreeze 
solution  with  a  freezing  point  below  the  coldest 
temperature expected 

 

 

 

As an alternate to an anti-freeze solution, the water can 
be  continuously  circulated  to  prevent  freezing.  If  the 
coil  will  not  be  used  for  an  extended  period  of  time 
during  cold  temperatures,  drain  the  system  then  flush 
with a glycol solution. 

Wiring 

WARNING! 

DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BE-
FORE WIRING UNIT TO PREVENT 
INJURY OR DEATH FROM ELECTRICAL 
SHOCK. 

 

All electrical wiring must comply with all local codes 
and  ordinances.  Make  electrical  connection  in 
accordance with the wiring diagram shown in Fig. 12. 
Refer  to  separate  control  box  manual  for  additional 
wiring instructions.  

The vertical unit uses the EC motor and SCB control as 
standard.  The  vertical  unit  is  sold  as  230V  or  115V 
power. The wiring schematic in this manual is for 230V. 
For 115 V wiring, refer to the control box manual. Use 
a separate 1ph, 60/50 Hz power supply with a 15 amp 
fuse  or  breaker  and  appropriate  wire  gauge  per  local 
code.  

1.

 

Connect the power supply to terminals L1 and L2/N 
of the terminal block. 

The low voltage transformer is factory wired for a 
primary voltage of 230V. If power supply is 208V, 
move  the  switch  on  the  control  board  to  the  208 
setting.  

2.

 

Connect the ground to the ground terminal. 

3.

 

Plug the motor cable to the motor. 

4.

 

Connect  the  anti-frost  wires  if  using  a  refrigerant 
coil.  

5.

 

Connect the thermostat wires. 

6.

 

Connect the condensing unit wires.
