SECTION I: GENERAL
The single piece air handler series provides the flexibility for installation
in any position. This unit may be used for upflow, downflow, horizontal
right, or horizontal left applications.
These units may be located in a closet, utility room, attic, crawl space,
or basement. These versatile models may be used for cooling or heat
pump operation with or without electric heat.
Top or side power and control wiring, color coded leads for control
wiring, and electric heaters all combine to make the installation easy
and minimize installation cost.
Electric heat kits are available as field installed accessories. Single
phase kits are available from 2.5 kW to 25 kW. 208-230 volt three
phase kits are available from 10kW to 25kW.
