Condensate Drain Configuration

WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote
disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/
tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be
inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power
before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
An evaporator condensate drain connection is provided
on each unit. Refer to Figure 14, p. 20
the appropriate drain location.
The condensate drain pan is factory installed to drain
condensate to the back side of the unit. See
- Figure 19, p. 21. It can be converted to drain condensate
out the front side of the unit or through the base.
To Convert Drain Condensate Out the Front of
Unit:
1. Remove evaporator access panel and supply air access
panels.
2. Remove the support panel that the condensate drain
pan exits through.
3. Slide the condensate drain pan out of the unit and
rotate 180°.
4. Slide the condensate drain pan back into the unit, align
the drain with the grommeted opening in the rear
support panel and push until the coupling is seated in
the grommet.
5. Replace the front support panel by aligning the panel
with tabs in the raceway. Align the condensate drain
pan support in the grommeted hole as the panel is put
in place.
6. Replace evaporator access panel and supply air access
panels.
To Convert Drain Condensate Through-the-
Base of Unit:
1. Remove evaporator access panel and supply air access
panels.
2. Remove the support panel that the condensate drain
pan exits through.
3. Slide the condensate drain pan out of the unit.
4. Place on a level surface in the position it was removed
from the unit.
5. Remove the plug knockout in the bottom of the
drainpan to convert it to through the base drainage.
6. Plug the original condensate drain opening with a field
supplied 3/4" NPT plug.
7. Slide the condensate drain pan back into the unit, align
the drain support with the grommeted opening in the

A condensate trap must be installed at the unit due to the
drain connection being on the "negative pressure" side of
the fan. Install the P-Trap using the guidelines in
p.
- Figure 19, p. 21 for
A condensate drain line must be connected to the P-Trap.
Pitch the drain lines at least 1/2 inch for every 10 feet of
horizontal run to assure proper condensate flow. Do not
Figure 14, p. 20
allow the horizontal run to sag causing a possible double-
trap condition which could result in condensate backup
due to "air lock" .

Drain Pan Removal (Units with Condensate
Overflow Switch Option)
Before drain pan removal, the switch wire must be
disconnected from wire tie on panel and/or any tape
before drain pan can be removed.
Care must be taken so the wire does not catch on the
bottom of indoor coil or any protrusion.
Note: When reversing the drain pan, on some units, the

Filter Installation

The quantity of filters is determined by unit size. Access to
the filters is obtained by removing the filter access panel.
Refer to the unit Service Facts (shipped with each unit) for
filter requirements.
Note: Do not operate the unit without filters.

condensate overflow switch will need to be moved
to the second hole in its bracket to avoid contact
with headers or indoor coil.
