INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WALL MOUNTING INFORMATION
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, but is not required.
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.
3. Concrete block walls must be thoroughly inspected
to insure that they are capable of carrying the weight
of the unit being installed.
4. The unit is suitable for 0 inch clearance from the
unit, and from the supply and return air ducts.
MOUNTING THE UNIT
1. Two holes for the supply and return air openings
must be cut through the wall as shown in Figure 3.
2. Locate and mark lag bolt locations and bottom
mounting bracket location, if desired. See Figure 3.
3. Mount bottom mounting bracket, if used.
4. Hook top rain flashing under back bend of top. Top
rain flashing is shipped secured to the right side of
the back.
5. Position unit in opening and secure with 5/16 lag
bolts. Use 5/16” flat washers on the lag bolts.
6. Secure rain flashing to wall and caulk across entire
length of top. See Figure 3.
7. 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.
8. On side by side installations, maintain a minimum
of 20 inches clearance on right side of unit to allow
access to control panel and heaters, and to allow
proper airflow to the outdoor coil. Additional
clearance may be required to meet local or national
codes.
WIRING – MAIN POWER
Refer to the unit rating plate for wire sizing information
and maximum fuse or “HACR” type 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 (75° C
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.
The unit rating plate lists a “Maximum Time Delay
Relay Fuse” or “HACR” type circuit breaker that is to
be used with the equipment. The correct size must be
used for proper circuit protection and also to assure that
there will be no nuisance tripping due to the momentary
high starting current of the compressor motor.
The disconnect access door on this unit may be locked
to prevent unauthorized access to the disconnect. To
convert for the locking capability, bend the tab located
in the bottom left hand corner of the disconnect opening
under the disconnect access panel straight out. This tab
will now line up with the slot in the door. When shut a
padlock may be placed through the hole in the tab
preventing entry.
