GENERAL
INSPECT NEW UNIT
After uncrating unit, inspect thoroughly for hidden damage. If
damage is found, notify the transportation company immediately
and file a concealed damage claim.
LOCATION
Check local codes for regulations concerning zoning, noise,
platforms, and other issues.
Locate unit away from fresh air intakes, vents, or bedroom
windows. Noise may carry into the openings and disturb people
inside.
Locate unit in a well drained area, or support unit high enough so
that water runoff will not enter the unit.
Locate unit away from areas where heat, lint, or exhaust fumes will
be discharged onto unit (as from dryer vents).
Locate unit away from recessed or confined areas where
recirculation of discharge air may occur (refer to CLEARANCES
section of this document).
Roof- -top installation is acceptable providing the roof will support
the unit and provisions are made for water drainage and
noise/vibration dampening.
NOTE: Roof mounted units exposed to wind may require wind
baffles. Consult the manufacturer for additional information.
CLEARANCES
When installing, allow sufficient space for airflow clearance,
wiring, refrigerant piping, and service. Allow 30 in. (762 mm)
clearance to service end of unit and 48 in. (1219 mm) above unit.
For proper airflow, a 6 in. (152 mm) clearance on 1 side of unit and
12 in. (305 mm) on all remaining sides must be maintained.
Maintain a distance of 24 in. (610 mm) between units or 18 in.
(457 mm) if no overhang within 12 ft. (7.3 m). Position so water,
snow, or ice from roof or eaves cannot fall directly on unit.
On rooftop applications, locate unit at least 6 in. (152 mm) above
roof surface.
Do not install unit under roof overhangs unless gutters are present.
A minimum vertical clearance of 48 inches (1219 mm) is required
to the overhang.
Inside corner locations on single story structures require
evaluation. Large overhanging soffit may cause air recirculation in
a corner area even though recommended minimum clearances are
maintained. As a guide, locate the unit far enough out so that half
of the discharge grille is out from under the soffit.
When placing two or more units side- -by- -side, provide a minimum
of 18 inches (457 mm) between units.
Provide minimum service clearance of 24 inches (610 mm) from
control box corner and side service panel.
