SPECIAL DESIGN REQUESTS
Units are sometimes built units with special features as
requested by the customer. This manual only covers standard
features and does not include any changes made for special
feature requests by the customer. Units built with special
features are noted with a 5-digit SPO (Special Product Order)
Number on the Serial Plate.

DANGER
Appliances must not be installed where they may be exposed
to potentially explosive or flammable atmosphere.
DANGER
Les appareils ne doivent pas être installés à un endroit où ils
risquent d'être exposés à une atmosphère potentiellement
explosive ou inflammable.
IMPORTANT
1. Start up and adjustment procedures, installation, and
service of these appliances must be performed by a
qualified installation and service agency.
2. Never leave the unit filled with water in a building without
heat unless antifreeze has been added.
IMPORTANT
1. Les procédures de démarrage et de réglage, l'installation
et le service de ces appareils doivent être confiés à un
centre d'installation et de service qualifié.
2. Ne laissez jamais l'appareil rempli d'eau dans un immeuble
non chauffé sans lui ajouter de l'antigel.

HANDLING
Each unit will be shipped to the site secured to a wood skid
To
using metal brackets. Whenever possible, all lifting and handling
Obtain
of the unit should be done with the packing and skid in position.
m³/min
Due to the length of the unit, 72" (1829mm) forklift tines are
mJ/m³
recommended to avoid damaging the unit.
kg
Remove the metal brackets prior to lifting the unit off of the skid.
kW/hr
When slinging or using a forklift to lift the unit, the support points
should be sufficiently apart to give stability when lifting. Unless
liters
otherwise noted the lifting points should be equidistant from the
"W.C
centerline. Extreme care should be taken not to drop the unit.
Considerable damage can occur to the unit during positioning,
in particular, to the paneling and exterior paint. Use an adequate
number of personnel and the correct tools when moving the unit.
A lifting device such as a forklift is needed to install this product.
A special key is provided with the unit for use with the tamper-
proof cabinet locks on the top and front panels. The use of
torque screwdrivers on panel, cover or component mounting
screws is not recommended. Hand-start all screws. If electric
drills are used – set at the lowest possible torque.
PREPARATION
1. Select the unit location. Ensure the wall or ceiling structure
is adequate for the required mounting provisions as
outlined in the "INSTALLATION" section. For Ceiling
Mounted units (Model Digit 2=C), check that ceiling is
capable of supporting the weight of the unit.
2. Before installation, ensure that the correct electrical power
supplies are available for the unit.
3. Each unit requires an independently fused and isolated
power supply.
4. If the installation has multiple units, check that unit model
and tagging corresponds with the installation plans.
Please contact your Airedale representative immediately if
discrepancies are noted.
5. Check to make sure that the units will have adequate
clearance around them for servicing. For ceiling units, refer
to Figure 7.1.
6. Note that units with cooling coils will have a condensate
connection at the rear and suitable provisions should be
made for draining. If multiple units tee into a common drain
manifold, it must be sized to ensure free draining with all
the units in operation.
7. For units with outside air, inspect the wall sleeve installation
for gaps that would allow leakage of outdoor air into the
space. All joints and abutments should be sealed with
waterproof sealant.
Drainage
Units with cooling coils have a condensate drain pan connection
and 3/4" ID condensate line. The condensate drain pan
connection is field changeable and can be mounted on either
the left or right side of the unit. To change the connection
location, remove the condensate line from the elbow. Remove
the elbow from the drain pan and remove the plug from the
opposite side of the drain pan. Re-install the elbow and the
plug on the opposite sides of the drain pan. Re-connect the
condensate line.
