Assembly
1. Determine if ventilation air is required in building. If
so, determine the minimum amount to be supplied by
each unit and record quantity of ventilation air needed
for use in Step 8.
2. Remove filter access panel by raising panel and swing-
ing panel outward. Panel is now disengaged from track
and can be removed. No tools are required to remove
filter access panel. Remove outdoor-air opening panel.
Save panels and screws. See Fig. 11. Remove optional
outdoor-air damper hood package from filter section.
3. Assemble outdoor-air hood top and side plates as shown
in Fig. 12. Install seal strips on hoop top and sides. Put
aside screen retainer and retainer screw for later assem-
bly. Do not attach hood to unit at this time.
4. On 012 unit, install vertical discharge block-off plate over
duct openings. See Fig. 13.
5. Slide economizer into unit and secure with screws. See
Fig. 14.
NOTE: Be sure to engage rear economizer flange under tabs
in vertical return-air opening.
6. To convert to horizontal discharge application:
a. Rotate the economizer 90 degrees until the econo-
mizer motor faces the condenser section (see Fig. 15).
b. Rotate the barometric relief damper cover 90 degrees.
c. Install horizontal discharge block-off plate over the
opening on the access panel. (Block-off plate MUST
be installed before installing hood assembly.) See
Fig. 16.
7. Insert economizer plug into economizer harness. Re-
move tape from barometric relief damper. See Fig. 14.
8. If ventilation air is not required, proceed to Step 9. If
ventilation air is required, determine the minimum po-
sition setting for required airflow. See Fig. 17A or 17B.
Adjust minimum position setting by adjusting the screws
on the position setting bracket. See Fig. 18. Slide bracket
until the top screw is in the position determined by
Fig. 17A or 17B. Tighten screws.
9. Remove tape from outdoor-air thermostat (OAT). Fas-
ten OAT to inside of hood using screws and speed clips
provided. See Fig. 19. Make sure OAT terminals are po-

Step 2. Replace filter access panel. Ensure the filter ac-
cess panel slides along the tracks and is securely
engaged.
11. Fasten hood top and side plate assembly to outdoor-air
opening panel with screws provided.
12. Place knob supplied with economizer on OAT. See
Fig. 19. Set for 3° F below indoor room thermostat set-
ting. If accessory enthalpy control (EC) is used in place
of OAT, see instructions shipped with EC for installa-
tion and adjustment. See Fig. 19.
13. Connect OAT per Fig. 20.
14. Slide outdoor-air inlet screen(s) into screen track on hood
side plate. On size 008 and 012 units, use screen clasp
