3. INSTALLATION
3.1 GENERAL
RULES
Only qualified technicians, in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions, should carry out the
installation and maintenance of the ACF60-00 unit. The installation of the appliance must conform to the
requirements of the authority having jurisdiction or in the absence of such requirements, to the latest edition
of the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
. If the unit is installed in Canada, the installation must conform
to the
Canadian Gas Association Standard CAN1 B149.1
and
.2
.
All wiring should be installed in accordance with the latest edition of the
National Electrical Codes,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70
,
CSA Standard C22.1
when installed in Canada, and with any local codes.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damages to persons, animals or goods due to
improper, erroneous or irrational installation of these appliances.
To ensure that a correct installation and maximum unit performances are obtained, the following rules have
to be followed:
-
Unpack the unit carefully, checking that it has not suffered damage during transport. Each unit is factory
tested before shipping, if damage is found report this immediately to the haulage contractor.
-
Each unit must be installed outdoors in an area of free natural air circulation
and does not require
particular weather protection.
In no case must the unit be installed in a room.
-
No overhead obstructions should block the outlet of air from the unit top.
-
The unit should not be installed so that the fan discharge is in close proximity to the fresh air
intakes of a building or in such a manner that hot or contaminated air from flues, dryer vents,
chimney, etc., could be drawn into the unit by the condenser fan.
-
The front and rear sides of the unit must have a
minimum clearance of 31-
1
/
2
” inches and 24 inches,
respectively, (for safety, maintenance and servicing) from any combustible surface, walls or
other stationary constructions.
The left and right sides require a minimum distance of 18 inches
for proper airflow toward the condenser.
-
Be sure that gas supply provided from the gas main meets the manufacturer’s specifications. Inlet gas
pressure to the unit must not exceed 14.0" W.C. on natural gas or propane gas. The minimum Inlet gas
pressure at the unit is 5.0" W.C. on natural gas and 11.0" W.C. on propane gas.
The electrical safety of the unit is obtained only when it is correctly connected to an efficient grounding
system, which meets existing applicable safety standards. Never use gas supply piping to ground the
appliances. The ground wire should be longer than power supply wires for safety reasons. If the power
supply wires are accidentally stretched, the ground wire will be the last to break. By following this rule, good
ground continuity will be assured.
