SYSTEM OPERATION
Pre-Installation Checks
Carefully read all instructions for the installation prior
to installing unit. Ensure each step or procedure is
understood and any special considerations are taken
into account before starting installation. Assemble all
tools, hardware and supplies needed to complete the
installation. Some items may need to be purchased locally.
WARNING
To prevent possible equipment damage, property damage,
personal injury or death, the following bullet points
must be observed when installing the unit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Remove wood shipping rails prior to
installation of the unit.
All Installations:
Important Note:
Unit should be energized 24 hours
prior to compressor start up to ensure crankcase heater
has sufficiently warmed the compressors. Compressor
damage may occur if this step is not followed.
NOTE: Appliance is shipped from factory for vertical duct
application.
Proper installation of the unit ensures trouble-free
operation. Improper installation can result in problems
ranging from noisy operation to property or equipment
damages, dangerous conditions that could result in injury
or personal property damage and that are not covered by
the warranty. Give this booklet to the user and explain it’s
provisions. The user should retain these instructions for
future reference.
•
For proper flame pattern within the heat exchanger and
proper condensate drainage, the unit must be mounted
level.
•
The flue outlet must be at least 12 inches from any
opening through which flue gases could enter a
building, and at least three feet above any forced
air inlet located within ten feet. The economizer/
manual fresh air intake/motorized fresh air intake
and combustion air inlet mounted on the unit are not
affected by this restriction.
•
To avoid possible corrosion of the heat exchanger, do
not locate the unit in an area where the outdoor air
(i.e. combustion air for the unit) will be frequently
contaminated by compounds containing chlorine or
fluorine. Common sources of such compounds include
swimming pool chemicals and chlorine bleaches, paint
stripper, adhesives, paints, varnishes, sealers, waxes
(which are not yet dried) and solvents used during
construction and remodeling. Various commercial and
industrial processes may also be sources of chlorine/
fluorine compounds.
•
The unit shall not be connected to a chimney flue
serving a separate appliance designed to burn solid fuel.
•
To avoid possible illness or death of the building
occupants, do NOT locate outside air intake device
(economizer, manual fresh air intake, motorized fresh
air intake) too close to an exhaust outlet, gas vent
termination, or plumbing vent outlet. For specific
distances required, consult local codes.
•
Allow minimum clearances from the enclosure for fire
protection, proper operation, and service access (see
unit clearances). These clearances must be permanently
maintained.
•
The combustion air inlet and flue outlet on the unit
must never be obstructed. If used, do not allow the
economizer/manual fresh air damper/ motorized fresh
air damper to become blocked by snow or debris. In
some climates or locations, it may be necessary to
elevate the unit to avoid these problems.
•
When the unit is heating, the temperature of the return
air entering the unit must be a minimum of 55° F.
Ground Level Installations Only:
•
When the unit is installed on the ground adjacent
to the building, a level concrete (or equal) base is
recommended. Prepare a base that is 3” larger than the
package unit footprint and a minimum of 3” thick.
•
The base should also be located where no runoff of
water from higher ground can collect in the unit.
Roof top Installations Only:
•
To avoid possible property damage or personal injury,
the roof must have sufficient structural strength to carry
the weight of the unit(s) and snow or water loads as
required by local codes. Consult a structural engineer
to determine the weight capabilities of the roof.
•
The unit may be installed directly on wood floors or on
Class A, Class B, or Class C roof covering material.
•
To avoid possible personal injury, a safe, flat surface for
service personnel should be provided.
