Mounting the Air Conditioner
Using the template supplied, determine where the air conditioner is to be mounted and assure that all
required cuts and holes will not interfere with or damage the enclosure or its contents. Assure that
there is a 3
” clearance between walls / obstructions and the air conditioner for the condenser supply
air and return air flow so that it is not restricted. Restricted condenser air flow will affect the air
conditioner’s performance. Mount the air conditioner high on the enclosure in order to cool the hot air
in the top of the enclosure. Position the unit where the cold air can circulate across the width of the
enclosure to cool it all the way across.
Once proper mounting placement is determined, turn the enclosure equipment off, if possible, to
prevent damage. Drill and cut the holes as indicated on the mounting template. Install insulation
gasket as required to ensure an air tight closed loop seal. Be cautious not to let any cutting debris fall
into the enclosure.
Hang the air conditioner on the Easy Mount Flange and from inside the enclosure use the fasteners
supplied to attach the air conditioner to the enclosure. Ensure that these fasteners are tight in order to
prevent the unit from falling off the enclosure. These fasteners should be checked periodically to
ensure that they have not become loose due to vibration.
The air conditioner is provided with a power cord or a power terminal block. Ensure that the power
supplied is compatible with the air conditioner’s power requirements. Properly connect the unit to a
power circuit that meets the equipment requirements and provide a circuit protection device based on
the Unit Specifications section of this manual. See Appendix A for Phoenix Contact power connector
instructions.
After mounting the air conditioner, replace/close the enclosure door and start air conditioner; test for
air leaks to assure a proper closed air loop seal and run test the unit to assure proper operation after
mounting. If any cold air leaks are found, check for proper mounting and apply silicone-free Lexel seal
if leaks persist. Assure that the air conditione
r’s condenser inlet air filter is installed properly and
cleaned regularly.
CAUTION
If mounting the air conditioner to the enclosure door, confirm with the enclosure manufacturer that the
door’s hinges will support the air conditioner’s added weight (see equipment specifications). Ensure
that when the door is fully open that the enclosure will not topple over due to the off-center load.
