INTRODUCTION
Model 48N Packaged Gas/Electric Unit is fully self-con¬
tained, combination gas heating/electric cooling unit
designed for outdoor installation. Model 48N may be
installed either on a rooftop or ground-level slab. See Fig. 1.
For rooftop downflow applications, an accessory roof¬
mounting curb must be used.
Model 48N Unit meets the California maximum oxides of
nitrogen (Nox) emission regulations.
These units are equipped with an energy-saving, automatic,
intermittent, electric spark ignition system that does not
have a continuously burning pilot. All units are manufac¬
tured with natural gas controls.
These units are designed for a minimum continuous return
air temperature of 60 °F. (dry bulb) or an intermittent opera¬
tion down to 55°F. (dry bulb) such as when used with a
night set back thermostat.
Model 48N is A.G.A. and C.G.A. design-certified. See
Tables 2 thru 7 for the heating input ratings.
These units are factory-charged with R-22 refrigerant.
Installation is simple: connect gas supply, air ducts, high-
and low-voltage wiring, condensate drain, and install a field-
supplied air filter.
All units can be connected into existing duct systems that
are properly sized and designed to handle an airflow of 350
to 450 Cfm per each 12,000 Btuh of rated cooling capacity.
See Tables 2 thru 7 for cooling and heating airflow require¬
ments.
NOTE: When installing any accessory item, see the manu¬
facturer's Installation Instructions packaged with the ac¬
cessory. The Qualified Agency must use factory authorized
kits or accessories when modifying this unit.
