• Do not position the unit where the discharge air could
blow directly on the thermostat.
• Recommended distance between 2 units is 10 feet to
avoid conflicting airflow and recirculation.
• The unit should not be positioned directly above any
obstruction.
• The unit must be installed square and level.
• Condensate drain should have sufficient downward slope
(1 inch per 100 inches) in any horizontal run between
unit and drain. Maximum condensate lift is 27-
IMPORTANT: Be sure that the ceiling grid is supported
separately from the unit. The ceiling grid must not be
supported by any part of the unit or any associated
wiring or piping work.
In case of new construction once the unit is installed, cover the
fan motor opening using the construction cover board to avoid
any dust and debris from settling inside the unit. Use the M4
bolt, washer, and nut as shown in Figs. 6 and 7 below.
