INSTALLATION

Jobsite Survey

Complete the following checks before installation.
1. Consult local building codes and the NEC (National
Electrical Code) ANSI/NFPA 70 for special installa-
tion requirements.
2. Determine unit location (from project plans) or select
unit location.
3. Check for possible overhead obstructions which may
interfere with unit lifting or rigging.
Step 1 — Plan for Unit Location
Select a location for the unit and its support system (curb
or other) that provides for at least the minimum clearances
required for safety. This includes the clearance to
combustible surfaces, unit performance and service access
below, around and above unit as specified in unit
drawings. See Fig. 3.
NOTE: Consider also the effect of adjacent units.
Unit may be installed directly on wood flooring or on Class
A, B, or C roof- - covering material when roof curb is used.
Do not install unit in an indoor location. Do not locate air
inlets near exhaust vents, relief valves, or other sources of
contaminated air.
Although unit is weatherproof, avoid locations that permit
water from higher level runoff and overhangs to fall onto
the unit.
Select a unit mounting system that provides adequate
height to allow for removal and disposal of frost and ice
that will form during the heating- - defrost mode as well as
allow installation of condensate trap per requirements.
Refer to Step 9 — Install External Condensate Trap and
Line – for required trap dimensions.
Roof Mount —
Check building codes
requirements. Unit operating weight is shown in Table 4.

Step 2 — Plan for Sequence of Unit Installation
The support method used for this unit will dictate different
sequences for the steps of unit installation. For example,
on curb- - mounted units, some accessories must be
installed on the unit before the unit is placed on the curb.

Review the following for recommended sequences for
installation steps.
Curb- - mounted installation —
Install curb
Install field- - fabricated ductwork inside curb
Install accessory thru- - base service connection package
(affects curb and unit) (refer to accessory installation
instructions for details)
Prepare bottom condensate drain connection to suit
planned condensate line routing (refer to Step 9 for
details)
Rig and place unit
Install outdoor air hood
Install condensate line trap and piping
Make electrical connections
Install other accessories
Pad- - mounted installation —
Prepare pad and unit supports
Check and tighten the bottom condensate drain
connection plug
Rig and place unit
Convert unit to side duct connection arrangement
Install field- - fabricated ductwork at unit duct openings
Install outdoor air hood
Install condensate line trap and piping
Make electrical connections
Install other accessories
Frame- - mounted installation —
Frame- - mounted applications generally follow the
sequence for a curb installation. Adapt as required to
suit specific installation plan.
Step 3 — Inspect Unit
Inspect unit for transportation damage. File any claim
with transportation agency.
Confirm before installation of unit that voltage, amperage
and circuit protection requirements listed on unit data
plate agree with power supply provided.
Step 4 — Provide Unit Support
Roof Curb Mount —
Accessory roof curb details and dimensions are shown in
Fig. 6. Assemble and install accessory roof curb in
accordance with instructions shipped with the curb.
NOTE: The gasketing of the unit to the roof curb is
critical for a watertight seal. Install gasket supplied with
the roof curb as shown in Fig. 6. Improperly applied
gasket can also result in air leaks and poor unit
performance.
Curb should be level. This is necessary for unit drain to
function properly. Unit leveling tolerances are show in
Fig. 7. Refer to Accessory Roof Curb Installation
Instructions for additional information as required.
