SPECTRA COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL INSTALLATION GUIDE

Unit Location

Locate the unit in an indoor area that allows easy removal of the filter and access

panels, and has enough space for service personnel to perform maintenance or repair.

Provide sufficient room to make water, electrical and duct connection(s). If the unit is

located in a confined space, such as a closet, provisions must be made for return air to

freely enter the space by means of a louvered door, etc. Any access panel screws that

would be difficult to remove after the unit is installed should be removed prior to setting the

unit. On horizontal units, allow adequate room below the unit for a condensate drain trap

and do not locate the unit above supply piping. These units are not approved for outdoor

installation and must be installed inside the structure being conditioned.

CAUTION: 

Do not locate in areas where ambient conditions are not maintained

within 45

°

-95

°

F and up to 75% relative humidity.

Setting the Vertical Units

Vertical units are available in left or right air return configurations. Top flow vertical units

should be mounted level on a vibration absorbing pad slightly larger than the base to

provide isolation between the unit and the floor. It is not necessary to anchor the unit to the

floor (see figure 1). Bottom flow units

should be mounted level and sealed

well to floor to prevent air leakage.

If left side unit access will be

limited after installation, remove the

two left side control box mounting

screws before setting the unit (leave

the two front mounting screws intact).

This will allow the control box to be

removed with only the two front

mounting screws for future service.

Setting the Horizontal Units

Horizontal units are available with side or end discharge and may be field converted

from one to the other by replacing the discharge panel. The new panel must be ordered.

Horizontal units are normally suspended from a ceiling by four 3/8” diameter threaded rods

(6 on SXH042-068). The rods are usually attached to the unit corners by hanger bracket

kits furnished with each unit.
