RL SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Installing Horizontal Units Mounting Horizontal Units Units are available with side or end discharge in left-hand or right-hand return air configurations. Horizontal units are normally suspended from a ceiling by four 1/2 in. diameter threaded rods. The rods are usually attached to the unit corners by the bottom panel mounting channel and the mounting grommets furnished with each unit.

RL SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Installing Vertical Units Mounting Vertical Units Units are available with top/side discharge, left-hand or right-hand return air configurations. Vertical units are assembled on rails which facilitate moving and placement of the units. It is not necessary to anchor the unit to the floor.
RL SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Water Quality Water Quality Guidelines In ground water situations where scaling could be heavy or where biological growth such as iron bacteria will be present, a closed loop system is recommended. The heat exchanger coils in ground water systems may, over a period of time, lose heat exchange capabilities due to a buildup of mineral deposits inside.
RL SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL System Cleaning and Flushing Cleaning and Flushing Figure 7: Flushing with Water Shutoff Valve Equipped Systems Prior to start up of any heat pump, the water circulating system must be cleaned and flushed of all dirt and debris.
RL SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Electrical Connections General Be sure the available power is the same voltage and phase as that shown on the unit serial plate. Line and low voltage wiring must be done in accordance with local codes or the National Electric Code.
