Modular Hi-Rise Series Fan Coils
Where space allows, power may be pulled directly through
the side of the cabinet into the control section.
All components furnished for field installation by either the
factory or the controls contractor should be located and
checked for proper function and compatibility. All internal
components should be checked for shipping damage, and
any loose connections should be tightened to minimize
problems during start-up.
Any devices such as fan switches or thermostats that have
been furnished from the factory for field installation must
be wired in strict accordance with the wiring diagram
that appears on the unit. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury or damage to components, and will void all
manufacturer's warranties.
The fan motor should never be controlled by any wiring
or device other than the factory-furnished switch or
thermostat/switch combination without factory authori-
zation. Fan motor(s) may be temporarily wired for use
during construction only with prior factory approval in strict
accordance with the instructions issued at that time.
All field wiring should be done in accordance with governing
codes and ordinances. Any modification of the unit wiring
without factory authorization will void all of the factory
warranties and will nullify any agency listings.
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any damages
and/or injuries resulting from improper field installation and/
or wiring.
Exposed Unit Touch-up and Repainting
Return access and exposed cabinet units may be furnished
with a baked enamel finish. Small scratches in this finish may
be repaired with touch-up paint available from the factory.
Some colors of touch-up paint are available in aerosol
containers and all touch-up paint is available in pint, quart,
and gallon cans. Contact the factory for availability.
Proper safety procedures should be followed regarding
ventilation and safety equipment. The manufacturer's
directions should be followed for the products being used.
To repaint the factory-baked enamel, the finish should
be prepared by light sanding with #280 grit sand paper
or #000 or #0000 fine steel wool. The surface may also be
wiped with a liquid surface etch cleaning product such as
"No Sand" or "Pasceo. " These items should be available at
most paint product stores. It should be noted that the more
conscientiously this preparation is done, the more effective it
will be.
After this preparation is accomplished, the factory finish
should provide excellent adhesion for a variety of air-dried
top coats. Enamel will give a more durable, higher gloss
finish, while latex will not adhere as well and will give a dull,
softer finish. Top coats involving an exothermic chemical
process between two components, such as epoxies and
urethanes, should be avoided.
Factory aerosol touch-up paint may require a number of light
"dust coats" to isolate the factory-baked enamel finish from
the quick drying touch-up paint.
Concealed Unit Enclosure
Concealed units are designed to have gypsum board or
other types of wall board applied directly to the unit cabinet
surface to a maximum combined thickness of 5/8-inch. The
wall board may be attached with drywall screws or similar
fasteners provided they penetrate the cabinet no more
than 1/2 an inch. These fasteners must be located to avoid
damage to internal components and wiring in the same
manner as the anchoring fasteners. When applying the wall
board directly to the unit cabinet, it may be necessary to
shim the wall board in some areas to achieve the desired
finished wall surface.
An alternate method of enclosing the unit is to frame one
or more sides with studding and apply the wall board to
this framing. This method requires specific unit features and
return access panels when used on the return-air side of a
unit. Units not properly equipped will exhibit poor cooling
and/or heating performance and could experience excessive
or premature component failures.
Contact the sales representative or the factory with any
questions regarding unit enclosure methods.
