WALL MOUNTING INFORMATION
1. Two holes, for the supply and return air openings,
must be cut through the wall as shown in Figure 3.
2. On wood-frame walls, the wall construction must
be strong and rigid enough to carry the weight of
the unit without transmitting any unit vibration.
See Figures 4 and 5.
INSTALLATION
3. Concrete block walls must be thoroughly inspected
to insure that they are capable of carrying the
weight of the installing unit. See Figure 4.
MOUNTING THE UNIT
1. These units are secured by wall mounting brackets
which secure the unit to the outside wall surface at
both sides. A bottom mounting bracket is provided
for ease of installation.
2. The unit itself is suitable for “0” inch clearance,
but the supply air duct flange and the first 3 feet
of supply air duct require a minimum of 1/4 inch
clearance to combustible material. If a combustible
wall, use a minimum of 30-1/2” x 10-1/2”
dimensions for sizing. However, it is generally
recommended that a 1-inch clearance is used for
ease of installation and maintaining the required
clearance to combustible material. The supply air
opening would then be 32” x 12”. See Figures 2, 3
and 6 for details.
3. Locate and mark lag bolt locations and bottom
mounting bracket location. See Figure 4.
4. Mount bottom mounting bracket.
5. Hook top rain flashing under back bend of top. Top
rain flashing is shipped secured to the right side of
the back.
6. Position unit in opening and secure with 5/16 lag
bolts; use 7/8 inch diameter flat washers on the lag
bolts.
7. Secure rain flashing to wall and caulk across entire
length of top. See Figure 2.
8. For additional mounting rigidity, the return air
and supply air frames or collars can be drilled
and screwed or welded to the structural wall itself
(depending upon wall construction). Be sure to
observe required clearance if combustible wall.
9. On side-by-side installations, maintain a minimum
of 20 inches clearance on right side to allow access
to heat strips and control panel and to allow proper
airflow to the outdoor coil. Additional clearance
may be required to meet local or national codes.
TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS
See Figure 5 for common ways to install the wall mount
unit.
WIRING – MAIN POWER
Refer to the unit rating plate for wire sizing information
and maximum fuse or circuit breaker size. Each
outdoor unit is marked with a “Minimum Circuit
Ampacity”. This means that the field wiring used must
be sized to carry that amount of current. Depending on
the installed KW of electric heat, there may be two field
power circuits required. If this is the case, the unit
serial plate will so indicate. All models are suitable
only for connection with copper wire. Each unit and/or
wiring diagram will be marked “Use Copper Conductors
Only”. These instructions
must be
adhered to. Refer
to the National Electrical Code (NEC) for complete
current carrying capacity data on the various insulation
grades of wiring material. All wiring must conform to
NEC and all local codes.
The electrical data lists fuse and wire sizes (75ºC
copper) for all models, including the most commonly
used heater sizes. Also shown are the number of field
power circuits required for the various models with
heaters.
WARNING
Fire hazard can result if 1/4 inch clearance
to combustible materials for supply air duct is
not maintained. See Figure 3.
WARNING
Failure to provide the 1/4 inch clearance
between the supply duct and a combustible
surface for the first 3 feet of duct can result in
fire.
