Section 2:
Introduction and Pre-Installation:

2.1 - Description of Operation

The RC/FC Series is a split HVAC system that can operate
within a broad range of ambient conditions and introduce
ventilation air into a building at neutral conditions.
It consists of matched refrigeration and air moving
components (system controls, compressor[s], evaporator
section, condensing section and fan[s]) designed to treat
100% outside air and/or recirculated air. This system has
the ability to filter, cool, heat, and/or dehumidify air.
The unit may be provided with several different options
and/or controls to meet various application requirements,
including optional hot gas reheat, subcooling/reheat
coil (not available on heat pump modes), supplemental
heat (electric hot water or steam) and variable air volume
delivery. Be sure to read this entire manual before
installation and start-up.

2.2 Inspection and Setup

All units are leak-tested, pressure-tested, evacuated, and
charged with nitrogen prior to shipment. Immediately
upon receipt of the unit, check the electrical supply and
characteristics of the unit and verify that they match the
electrical supply available. Verify that the specifications
on the unit rating plate match your order. Check the unit
for any damage that may have occurred during shipment,
including internal piping. If any damage is found, file
a claim with the transporting agency. Do not refuse
shipment. Check the installation location to ensure proper
clearances. See Section 3.
Any small options (if so equipped) which do not come
attached to the unit (i.e. sensors) will be found inside the
condensing unit control enclosure.
If the unit must be temporarily stored (i.e. job site is
not ready for installation of the unit), the unit should be
set on 4" x 4" (10 cm x 10 cm) pieces of timber on level
ground in a protected area. The unit should be covered
to be protected from the environment. Indoor air handler
sections cannot be stored outside.
RC/FC Series Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual
This unit contains HFC-(R410A), an azeotropic
mixture of R-32 (Difluoromethane) and R-125
(Pentafluoroethane). DO NOT VENT HFC-(R410A) to
the atmosphere. The U. S. Clean Air Act requires the
recovery of any residual refrigerant. Do not use R-22
service equipment or components on R410A systems.
