Unpacking and
preparation
All units are carefully inspected
at the factory throughout the
entire fabrication and assembly
processes under Zehnder
Rittling’s stringent quality
assurance program. All major
components and subassemblies
such as motors, blowers,
coils, controls, valve packages
and paint quality are carefully
tested for proper operation,
visually inspected and verified
for full compliance with factory
standards. Operational testing
for some customer furnished
components such as pneumatic
valves and DDC controllers may
be a possible exception.
Vertical Hi-Stack Fan Coil units
are usually shipped on pallets of
up to six units. Since equipment
is normally moved to each floor
on the shipping pallet, units
can be palletized by floor at the
request of the customer, thereby
avoiding field handling of the
equipment. Should the number
of units per floor not be divisible
by six, then one pallet will have
units for multiple floors.
Each unit is factory tagged
according to the customer’s
purchase order. This allows the
unit, upon removal from the
pallet, to be taken directly to its’
assigned space for immediate
installation. Units should not be
installed at locations other than
that designated on the tag.
It is the sole responsibility
of the customer to provide
the protection necessary to
prevent vandalism and weather
deterioration of the equipment.
Under no condition should the
units be left unprotected from
the elements. The equipment
is
NOT
suitable for outdoor
installations.
Once the equipment is properly
positioned on the job site, cover
the unit openings with either a
shipping carton, vinyl film, or an
equivalent protective covering.
Take special care to prevent
foreign materials from entering
the units in areas where painting,
dry walling, or spraying of
fireproof material, etc. has not
yet been completed as these
materials may accumulate in the
drain pan or on the coils, motors
and blower wheels. Foreign
material that accumulates within
the units can prevent proper
start-up, necessitate costly
clean-up operations, or result
in immediate or premature
component failure. Before
installing any of the system
components, be sure to examine
each pipe, fitting and valve,
and remove any dirt or foreign
material found in or on these
components. All manufacturer’s
warranties are void if foreign
material is allowed to be
deposited in the drain pan or on
the motor or blower wheels of
any unit.
DO NOT store or install units in
corrosive environments or in
locations subject to temperature
or humidity extremes (e.g., attics,
garages, rooftops, etc.).
Corrosive conditions and high
temperature or humidity can
significantly reduce system
performance, reliability and
overall service life.
