General Information - Bard W18AAPA Installation Instructions Manual

Free Cooling Unit System
This Bard Free Cooling Unit System is composed of
MULTI-TEC wall-mounted air conditioners matched
with an LC6000 supervisory controller or Bard th-TUNE
single unit controller. If only one wall-mounted air
conditioner is being used, it can be matched with either
the LC6000 supervisory controller or a th-TUNE single
unit controller. If more than one wall mount is installed,
the LC6000 controller must be matched with the air
conditioning units. The wall-mount units are specifically
engineered for telecom/motor control center rooms.
NOTE: The LC6000 supervisory controller (or th-TUNE
single unit controller) and MULTI-TEC wall-
mount units are designed specifically to work
together. These controllers cannot run other
brands of systems, nor can other controllers run
the MULTI-TEC wall-mount units. They are a
complete system, and must be used together.
Wall-Mount Air Conditioner Units
The MULTI-TEC units will supply 100% of rated
cooling airflow in freecooling mode with ability to
exhaust the same amount through the unit itself
without any additional relief openings in the shelter. In
the event that freecooling operation cannot satisfy the
load requirements, mechanical cooling will be utilized
to assist in cooling the shelter.
MULTI-TEC units are available with electric heat and
dehumidification options.
Controller
A th-TUNE single unit controller (Bard P/N 8403-088)
can be used in place of the LC6000 controller when
only one MULTI-TEC wall-mount air conditioner is being
controlled. If using a th-TUNE stand-alone controller
instead of the LC6000 controller, the alarm logging
and remote communication capabilities of the LC6000
controller will not be available. A TEC-EYE
diagnostic tool is required to program the wall-mount
unit for th-TUNE single unit controller operation. The
th-TUNE controller and TEC-EYE diagnostic tool are
available as a kit (Bard P/N 8620-264).

by trained, experienced service and installation
technicians.
The refrigerant system is completely assembled and
charged. All internal wiring is complete.
The unit is designed for use with or without duct work.
Flanges are provided for attaching the supply and return
ducts.

GENERAL INFORMATION

These instructions explain the recommended method
to install the air cooled self-contained unit and the
electrical wiring connections to the unit.
These instructions and any instructions packaged with
any separate equipment required to make up the entire
air conditioning system should be carefully read before
beginning the installation. Note particularly any tags
and/or labels attached to the equipment.
While these instructions are intended as a general
recommended guide, they do not supersede any national
and/or local codes in any way. Authorities having
jurisdiction should be consulted before the installation
is made. See Additional Publications below for
information on codes and standards.
Sizing of systems for proposed installation should be
based on heat loss and heat gain calculations made
according to methods of Air Conditioning Contractors of
America (ACCA). The supply flange should be installed
in accordance with the Standards of the National
Fire Protection Association for the Installation of Air
Conditioning and Ventilating Systems of Other Than
Residence Type, NFPA No. 90A, and Residence Type
Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Systems, NFPA
No. 90B. Where local regulations are at a variance with
instructions, installer should adhere to local codes.
Shipping Damage
Upon receipt of equipment, the cartons should be
checked for external signs of shipping damage. If
damage is found, the receiving party must contact
the last carrier immediately, preferably in writing,
requesting inspection by the carrier's agent.
These units must remain in upright position at all times.
Additional Publications
These publications can help when installing the
furnace. They can usually be found at the local library
