1. Safety Instruction

!

WARNING

Potential safety hazards are alerted using the following symbols. The symbol is used in conjunction with terms 

that indicate the intensity of the hazard.

This symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided, 

could result in serious injury, property damage, product damage or death.

This symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided, 

may result in moderate injury or property damage.

CAUTION

!

Only factory authorized kits and acces-

sories should be used when installing or 

modifying this unit unless it is so noted in 

these instructions. Some localities may require a licensed 

installer/service personnel.

CAUTION

!

Certified technicians or those individuals 

meeting  the  requirements  specified  by 

NATE may use this information. Property 

and product damage or personal injury hazard may occur 

without such background.

!

WARNING

All power sources should be disconnect-

ed prior to servicing. Failure to do so may 

cause personal injury or property damage.

!

WARNING

Product designed and manufactured to 

permit installation in accordance with lo-

cal and national building codes. It is the 

installer’s responsibility to ensure that product is installed 

in strict compliance with national and local codes. Manufac-

turer takes no responsibility for damage (personal, product 

or property) caused due to installations violating regula-

tions. In absence of local/state codes, refer to National Elec-

tric Code: NFPA 90A & 90B Uniform Mechanical Code.

!

WARNING

When this unit is installed in an enclosed 

area, such as a garage or utility room with 

any Carbon Monoxide producing devices 

(i.e. automobile, space heater, water heater etc.) ensure that 

the enclosed area is properly ventilated.

!

WARNING

The unit is designed for operation with 

108/120 V, single phase, 60 Hz power sup-

ply. Airmark will not be responsible for 

damages caused due to modification of the unit to operate 

with alternative power sources.

!

WARNING

Unit is not approved for outdoor installa-

tions.

!

WARNING

2. Ensure These Steps are Completed to Reduce 

Chances of a Frozen Hydronic Coil

•  Ensure the air handler motor and control board are receiving 

proper power input per the wiring diagram.

•  Ensure the hydronic coil has access to a constant water supply as 

loss of water movement can lead to a frozen coil.

•  Prime the water circulator pump using the purge valve per the 

“Start-Up” section of this installation guide.

• 

Run the pump for five minutes after priming to ensure no air is in 

the system.

•  If any interruption to the water supply occurs, prime the water 

circulator pump again.

•  Insulate the water piping in unconditioned spaces or within 

structures that may be unoccupied during freezing conditions.

•  If the air handler does not have an internal pump and/or relies on 

an external boiler system for hot water, the installer may need to 

rewire the system to ensure that it maintains access to a constant 

water supply.
