A 7/8" OD drain connection extends through right hand side of
cabinet. Refer to Fig. 7 for recommended drain piping.

The drain connection is located on the same side of the unit as
the refrigerant connections. The line should be insulated where
moisture drippage will be objectionable or cause damage to the
area.

The 3" dimension must equal or exceed the negative static
pressure developed by the supply air blower. If it does not, the
condensate will not drain properly and may overflow the drain
pan. The trap must be at least 2-1/2" deep to maintain a water
seal under all operating conditions, especially during blower
start-up.

NOTE: The unit may have to be raised off the floor to allow

enough height for the trap.

SUPPLY AIR BLOWER ADJUSTMENT

The RPM of the supply air blower will depend on the required
CFM, the unit accessories and the static resistances of both the
supply and the return air duct systems. With this information,
the RPM for the supply air blower can be determined from the
blower performance in Table 4.

Knowing the required blower RPM and the blower motor HP,
the setting (turns open) for the supply air motor pulley can be
determined from Table 3.

Each motor pulley has:

1. A threaded barrel with two flats (or notched recesses) 180

degrees apart.

2. A movable flange with one set screw.

After the movable flange has been rotated to the proper
number of “turns open”, the set screw should be tightened
against the flat on the barrel to lock the movable flange in place.
If the pulley includes a locking collar, the locking collar must be
loosened to adjust the setting of the movable flange.

Note the following:

1. The supply air CFM must be within the limitations shown in

Table 2.

2. All pulleys can be adjusted in half turn increments.

3. The tension on the belt should be adjusted for a deflection

of 3/16 of an inch per foot of belt span with an applied force
of 2 to 3 pounds. This adjustment is made by moving the
blower motor mounting plate. Refer to Figure 8. Turning the
adjustment bolt (B) moves the motor mounting plate up or
down.

NOTE:

Never loosen the two nuts (C).

Two hex nuts (A) have to be loosened to move the mount-
ing plate and retightened after the mounting plate has been
moved to the proper position.

4. All pulleys are factory aligned.

5. All supply air motor pulleys are factory set 3 “turns open”.

After the supply air blower motor is operating, adjust the resis-
tances in both the supply and the return duct systems to bal-
ance the air distribution throughout the conditioned space. The
job specifications may require that this balancing be done by
someone other than the equipment installer.

To check the supply air CFM after the initial balancing has been
completed:

1. Drill two 5/16 inch holes in the side panel as shown in Fig-

ure 9.

2. Insert at least 6" of 1/4 inch tubing into each of these holes

for sufficient penetration into the air flow on both sides of
the indoor coil.

NOTE:

The tubes must be inserted and held in a position
perpendicular to the air flow so that velocity pres-
sure will not affect the static pressure readings.

3. Using an inclined manometer, determine the pressure drop

across a dry indoor coil. Since moisture on the coil may
vary greatly, measuring the pressure drop across a wet coil
under field conditions would be inaccurate. To assure a dry
coil, the heat pump system should be de-activated while
the test is being run.

4. Knowing the pressure drop across a dry coil, the actual

CFM through the unit can be determined from the curve in
Figure 10.

If the CFM is above or below the specified value, the supply air
motor pulley may have to be readjusted. After one hour of op-
eration, check the belt and pulleys for tightness and alignment.

WARNING: Failure to properly adjust the total system CFM

can result in extensive blower damage.

After readings have been obtained, remove the tubes and seal
up the drilled holes in the side panel. Dot plugs (5/16" - P/N
029-13880-000) are available through normal parts ordering
procedures.

NOTE: Shut down the heat pump system before taking any

test measurements to assure a dry indoor coil.
