SHIPPING DAMAGE
Upon receipt of equipment, the carton 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.
GENERAL
The equipment covered in this manual is to be installed 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.
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 "Starting
Procedure" and 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 Page 1 for information on codes and standards.
Size of unit for a proposed installation should be based on
heat loss calculation made according to methods of Air
Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA). The air
duct 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.
DUCT WORK
All duct work, supply and return, must be properly sized for
the design air flow requirement of the equipment. Air
Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) is an
excellent guide to proper sizing. All duct work or portions
thereof not in the conditioned space should be properly
insulated in order to both conserve energy and prevent
condensation or moisture damage.
Refer to Table 10 for maximum static pressure available for
duct design.
Design the duct work according to methods given by the Air
Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA). When duct
runs through unheated spaces, it should be insulated with a
minimum of one inch of insulation. Use insulation with a
vapor barrier on the outside of the insulation. Flexible
joints should be used to connect the duct work to the
equipment in order to keep the noise transmission to a
minimum.
A 1/4 inch clearance to combustible material for the first
three feet of duct attached to the outlet air frame is required.
See Wall Mounting Instructions and Figures 3 and 4 for
further details.
Ducts through the walls must be insulated and all joints
taped or sealed to prevent air or moisture entering the wall
cavity.
Some installations may not require any return air duct. A
metallic return air grille is required with installations not
requiring a return air duct. The spacing between louvers on
the grille shall not be larger than 5/8 inch.
Any grille that meets with 5/8 inch louver criteria may be
used. It is recommended that Bard Return Air Grille Kit
RG2 through RG5 or RFG2 through RFG5 be installed
when no return duct is used. Contact distributor or factory
for ordering information. If using a return air filter grille,
filters must be of sufficient size to allow a maximum
velocity of 400 fpm.
NOTE: If no return air duct is used, applicable installation
codes may limit this cabinet to installation only in
a single story structure.
