Page 6 of 60 / IM 798 AE Self-Contained Unit Ventilator
Carefully arrange the location and installation of each model AE
unit to provide convenient service access for maintenance and, if
necessary, removal of the unit. The installation consists of four basic
elements in the following order:
1. Louver
2. Galvanized Wall Sleeve
3. Horizontal Air Splitters by others (if required)
4. AE Self-contained Unit Ventilator
The louver brings in outdoor air for the outdoor fan section and
ventilation air to the classroom while providing a path for heated
outdoor air to exit.
The Wall Sleeve secures the unit, provides a watertight and air
tight seal to the building and brings in electrical and control wiring
(if required). It contains the unit main power disconnect switch
which is located in the wall sleeve junction box. All field electrical
connections are made inside this box.
Horizontal Air Splitters provide proper air paths and minimize air
recirculation.
The AE self-contained air source unit ventilator provides comfort
cooling and heating for the space. The Model AE unit is designed to
be installed into or up against an inside wall. The louver, air splitters
(if required) and wall sleeve are installed before the AE unit is
installed.
On many jobs, the louver and wall sleeve are shipped ahead of the
unit itself. Installation instructions for these components are shipped
with the individual components included in this publication.
