INTRODUCTION

This unit (see Fig. 1) is a fully self- -contained, combination
Category I gas heating/electric cooling unit designed for outdoor
installation (See Fig. 3 and 4 for unit dimensions). All unit sizes
have return and discharge openings for both horizontal and
downflow configurations, and are factory shipped with all
downflow duct openings covered. Units may be installed either on

dimensions).
In gas heating mode, this unit is designed for a minimum
continuous return- -air temperature of 55_F (13_C) db and a
maximum continuous return- -air temperature of 80_F (27_C) db.
Failure to follow these return- -air temperature limits may affect
reliability of heat exchangers, motors, and other components.
Models with an N in the fifth position of the model number are
dedicated Low NOx units designed for California installations.
These models meet the California maximum oxides of nitrogen
(NOx) emissions requirements of 40 nanograms/joule or less as
shipped from the factory and must be installed in California Air
Quality Management Districts or any other regions in North
America where a Low NOx rule exists.
NOTE:
Low NOx requirements apply only to natural gas
installations.

RECEIVING AND INSTALLATION

Step 1 — Check Equipment

Identify Unit

The unit model number and serial number are stamped on the unit
information plate. Check this information against shipping papers.

Inspect Shipment

Inspect for shipping damage before removing packaging materials.
If unit appears to be damaged or is torn loose from its anchorage,
have it examined by transportation inspectors before removal.
Forward claim papers directly to transportation company.
Manufacturer is not responsible for any damage incurred in transit.
Check all items against shipping list. Immediately notify the
nearest equipment distribution office if any item is missing. To
prevent loss or damage, leave all parts in original packages until
installation.
If the unit is to be mounted on a curb in a downflow application,
review Step 9 to determine which method is to be used to remove
the downflow panels before rigging and lifting into place. The
panel removal process may require the unit to be on the ground.
Step 2 — Provide Unit Support
For hurricane tie downs, contact distributor for details and PE
(Professional Engineering) Certificate if required.

Roof Curb

Install accessory roof curb in accordance with instructions shipped
with curb (See Fig. 5). Install insulation, cant strips, roofing, and
flashing. Ductwork must be attached to curb.
IMPORTANT: The gasketing of the unit to the roof curb is
critical for a water tight seal. Install gasketing material supplied
with the roof curb. Improperly applied gasketing also can result in
air leaks and poor unit performance.
Curb should be level to within 1/4 in. (6 mm). This is necessary
for unit drain to function properly. Refer to accessory roof curb
installation instructions for additional information as required.
Installation on older "G" series roof curbs.
Two accessory kits are available to aid in installing a new "G"
series unit on an old "G" roof curb.
1. Accessory kit number CPADCURB001A00, (small chassis)
and accessory kit number CPADCURB002A00, (large
chassis) includes roof curb adapter and gaskets for the
perimeter
seal
modifications to the curb are required when using this kit.
2. An alternative to the adapter curb is to modify the existing
curb by removing the outer horizontal flange and use
accessory kit number CPGSKTKIT001A00 which includes
spacer blocks (for easy alignment to existing curb) and
gaskets for the perimeter seal and duct openings. This kit is
used when existing curb is modified by removing outer
horizontal flange.
