INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL This manual is intended as an aid to a qualified service personnel for proper installation, operation, and maintenance of EMI AmericaSeries high efficiency evaporators. Carefully read these instructions before attempting installation or operation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in improper installation, operation, service, or maintenance, possibly resulting in fire, electrical shock, property damage, personal injury, or death.

CAC CASSETTE CONTROLS AND COMPONENTS Electromechanical Operation (Stan- dard): An optional thermostat can be ob- tained through EMI or your local distributor. NOTE: make sure the thermostat is suitable for unit operation (i.e., cool- ing only, cooling/electric heat, etc.) Filters: Metal framed filters are fitted. These are reusable and may be vacuum cleaned.

(“4” in the capacity decoding field) the piston will need relacement only on the 24,000 Btuh zone. * Your EMI evaporator unit contains the appropriate piston for your model. Refer to this document to determine if a change is required based on your condenser rating. If your match is not listed below no piston change is required.
CAC CASSETTE CHASSIS POSITIONING AND INSTALLATION ELECTROMECHANICAL THERMOSTAT An optional thermostat can be obtained through EMI or your local distributor. In addition to positioning the Cassette cor- rectly, it is very important to locate the wall mounted thermostat in the optimum posi- tion to ensure good temperature control.

Service should be performed by a qualifi ed service agency. An annual sys- tem check is recommended. EMI units are designed and constructed for reliability and long life with minimal maintenance. To insure peak operating effi ciency: 1.
For CAC Air Handlers With Remote Thermostat Controls WARNING All service should be performed by a qualified service technician. Before re- moving access panels or control covers to expose moving parts of non-insulate live electrical components for service, disconnect all high Volt power supplies to both the indoor unit and outdoor unit.
