1.1 Positioning Equipment

NOTICE
Do not install equipment inside of a building.
l
Outdoor Use Only
Do not install equipment inside of a room or building.
Chillers require unobstructed air flow for proper operation. Chillers should never be installed indoors or in a
l
location where air flow is restricted. See "Clearances" on page 4.
Controlling Irrigation and Rainwater Runoff
Irrigation water may damage chiller components. Direct irrigation water away from the chiller.
l
The chiller will withstand normal rainfall. Do not allow a roof slope to direct rainwater onto the chiller. Have a
l
gutter installed on the roof edge to direct this water away from the chiller. Or install the chiller in another
location.
Planning for Condensation
The chiller can produce a large amount of condensation. The amount of water depends on air temperature and
humidity.
Install the chiller with enough height to allow for water drainage.
l
Plan for water drainage as needed.
l
See "Condensation Drain Kit (# STK0202)" on page 26.
n
Mounting Pad Requirements
The chiller's base must be installed on a flat and level surface that completely supports the entire base .
l
Build the chiller pad out of concrete or other code-approved material.
l
Confirm the pad can support the weight of the chiller. See "Weights" on page 26.
l
Elevate the pad enough to allow for drainage.
l
Make sure the pad is flat and level.
l
Have the pad extend at least 6 inches from the chiller base in all directions.
l
Do not install the chiller on soil or grass.
l
Do not allow the chiller base to touch the building's foundation.
l
Do not place the chiller directly on a concrete floor. This can case noise to be transmitted to an occupied space. If
l
necessary install vibration dampers between the chiller base and floor.
Equipment pad must meet all requirements of authorities having code-related jurisdiction.
