Panel and Thin Wall Applications
The PDAE/PDHE conditioner can be successfully
installed in various ways. However, this instruction is
based on the use of both a subbase and a louver frame.
1. Install the subbase as described in the section "In-
stallation of Subbase. Also refer to IM 937 shipped
with the subbase.
2. Install the louver frame as described in the section
"Louver Frame Installation."
3. Position the room cabinet/wall sleeve in the louver
frame opening and on the subbase. The rear face
of the cabinet should be recessed from the outside
edge of the louver frame by the depth of the louver
to be installed (see Figure 12).
4. Level the subbase with leveling bolts provided.
Attach the subbase to the room cabinet/wall sleeve
per instructions provided with the subbase.

to side and pitched 1/4 bubble to the outside,
secure the louver frame to the wall with screws
driven through the sides and top of the room cabi-
net/wall sleeve outward through the louver frame.
Never secure the frame through the bottom as it
may cause leaks.
6. Caulk the outdoor joint between the room cabi-
net/wall sleeve and the louver frame: top, bottom,
and both sides. Do not permit caulking to block the
weep holes.
7. Install the outdoor louver. Holding the louver with
a wire loop or other similar means, push the louver
out through the rear opening in the room cabinet/
wall sleeve and pull the louver back to the rear
face so that the louver studs pass through the holes
in the room cabinet/wall sleeve flange. Attach the
louver with the washers and nuts provided, and
securely tighten the louver in place.
8. Cut the shipping carton as necessary to cover the
installed room cabinet/wall sleeve until ready to
use.

Note: Use of 6" straight drain
tube will require modification of
architectural louver.
