Failure to do so could result in personal injury. The unit will have to be turned sideways and removed APPLIANCE CART from skid to fit through a doorway.
Minimum Installation Height The minimum installation height for ducted The minimum installation height of the unit with a free applications is 8' 4-1/2". This provides enough blow plenum is 8' 6". This provides enough clearance clearance to install the duct work (see Figure 6). for the plenum to be removed (see Figure 5).
Duct Work For hot water coil option, a QPBHW**-F for free blow or QPBHW**-D for ducted airflow is used. All duct work must be properly sized for the design When used with a ducted supply, a Q4CX Cabinet airflow requirement of the equipment.

Wiring – Main Power The electrical data on the serial plate, in the unit specifications and also in Table 12 on page 41 list fuse Main electrical power must be supplied to the unit and wire sizes (75°C copper) for all models including from a clean, reliable power source.
Wiring – Low Voltage mode, the reduced airflow provides a warmer supply air temperature creating more comfortable heat. The All 230/208V 1 phase and 3 phase equipment have Y1 terminal is the 24VAC input for Balanced Climate dual primary voltage transformers. All equipment leaves compressor cooling operation.
Low Ambient Control (LAC) The low ambient control is a pressure switch that is attached to the liquid line of the system and monitors high side system pressure. Operation of the LAC occurs as outdoor temperatures drop below 60ºF. LAC operation cycles the condenser fan on/off based on outdoor temperature.
