  • Page 2 And mAintEnAnCE mAnUAL This manual is intended as an aid to a qualified service personnel for proper installation, operation, and maintenance of EMI AmericaSeries high efficiency evaporators. Carefully read these instructions before attempting installation or operation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in improper installation, operation, service, or maintenance, possibly resulting in fire, electrical shock, property damage, personal injury, or death.
  • Page 3 The WLCA/WLHA is equipped with unit mounted infrared compatible controls which also sup- ports 24V remote wall thermostat operation. Optional hand held remote is available.
  • Page 4 Determine how power wire (high and low voltage) condensate drainage, and refrigerant piping may be run to and from the unit. WLCA/WLHA - Ensure that intercon- nect tubing is within the maximum allowable length of 100’ including a maximum 35’ lift.
  • Page 5 WLCA/WLHA moUntinG prEpArAtion The WLCA/WLHA must be mounted plumb and level to a vertical surface to prevent unit vibration and/or unwanted noise. It is recommended that the unit be mounted directly to a smooth surface such as Sheetrock ® wallboard or similar material.
