Safety Considerations

This unit is equipped with electrically powered safety measures. For the
safety measures to be effective, the unit must be electrically powered at
all times after installation, other than when servicing.
Installation Instruction
A09033
WARNING
!
PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE
HAZARD
Continuous fan mode required for proper functioning. Installation must
meet the Required Minimum Dissipation Airflow as outlined in the
Leak Dissipation System section. Follow instructions in the Continuous
Fan Speed Set-Up section to change speeds.
Installation and servicing of this equipment can be hazardous due to
mechanical and electrical components. Only trained and qualified
personnel should install, repair, or service this equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such as
cleaning and replacing air filters. All other operations must be performed
by trained service personnel. When working on this equipment, observe
precautions in the literature, on tags, and on labels attached to or shipped
with the unit and other safety precautions that may apply.
WARNING
!
PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE
HAZARD
For continued performance, reliability, and safety, the only approved
accessories and replacement parts are those specified by the equipment
manufacturer. The use of non-manufacturer approved parts and
accessories could invalidate the equipment limited warranty and result
in fire risk, equipment malfunction, and failure. Please review
manufacturer's instructions and replacement part catalogs available
from your equipment supplier.
Auxiliary devices which may be a POTENTIAL IGNITION SOURCE
shall not be installed in the duct work. Examples of such POTENTIAL
IGNITION SOURCES are hot surfaces with a temperature exceeding
1292°F (700°C) and electric switching devices.
Electrostatic air purifiers installed in the ductwork are permitted, if the
purifier has an airflow sensor.
False ceilings or drop ceilings must not be used as a return air
duct/plenum.
This self-contained unit is already charged with refrigerant for optimum
performance, and shouldn't require any adjustments. Should any
installation/service work on the A2L refrigerant system be needed,
non-sparking tools are required. If the refrigerant system is opened, a
refrigerant detector should be used to check for leaks. Open flames or
other ignition sources should not be present, except during brazing.
Brazing should only take place on refrigerant tubes that are open to the
atmosphere or have been properly evacuated.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses, protective clothing, and
work gloves. Use quenching cloth for brazing operations. Have a fire
extinguisher available. Read these instructions thoroughly and follow all
warnings or cautions included in literature and attached to the unit.
