Positioning - Carrier 30RBM 160 Installation, Operation And Maintenance Instructions

3.2 - Positioning

The unit must be installed in a place that is inaccessible to the public or protected against access by non-authorised persons.
For extra-high units, the unit environment must permit easy access for maintenance operations.
For the centre of gravity coordinates, the position of the unit mounting holes, and the weight distribution points, refer to the
certified dimensional drawings. Ensure the free space shown in the dimensional drawings is respected to facilitate maintenance
and connection.
The typical applications of these units are cooling and heating, which do not require earthquake resistance. Earthquake
resistance has not been verified.
Before installing the device, check that:
• the permitted loading at the site is adequate or that appropriate strengthening measures have been taken.
• The unit is installed level on an even surface (maximum tolerance is 5 mm along both axes).
• If the support structure is sensitive to vibration and/or noise transmission it is advisable to insert anti-vibration mounts
(elastomer mounts or metal springs) between the unit and the structure. Selection of these devices is based on the system
characteristics and the comfort level required and should be made by technical specialists.
• There is adequate space above and around the unit for air to circulate and for access to the components (see dimensional
drawings).
• the number of support points is adequate and that they are in the right places.
• the location is not subject to flooding.
• For outdoor applications, avoid installing the unit in a location where snow is likely to accumulate (in areas subject to
long periods of sub-zero temperatures, the unit should be raised).
• Baffles may be necessary to deflect strong winds. These must not restrict the unit's air flow.
Before lifting the unit, check that all enclosure panels and grilles are securely fixed in place. Lift and set down the unit
with great care. Tilting and jarring can damage the unit and impair unit operation.
Never apply pressure or leverage to any of the unit's panels or uprights; only the base of the unit frame is designed to
withstand such stresses. No force or effort must be applied to pressurised parts, especially via pipes connected to the water
heat exchanger (with or without the hydronic kit if the unit is equipped with this).
All welding operations (connection to the hydraulic network) must be performed by qualified welders. The Victaulic
or the counter-flange must be removed before welding as a matter of course.
