1.0 INSTALLATION There is no intent on the part of Data Aire, Inc. to defi ne local codes or statutes which may supercede common trade practices. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for their interpretation. Consult local building codes and the National Electrical Code for special installation requirements.
Note there are many available unit confi gurations for Mini Ceiling systems. Be sure to identify the unit type and style before installing. For instance there may be split condenser/ condensing sections requiring separate or shared power. Note to Installing Contractor: Condensation formation and frequent humidifi er fl ush- ing are normal functions of this equipment.
1.4 Paperwork Each Data Aire unit ships with a start-up sheet that should be completed during installation. Also included in the paperwork is a warranty/information packet that provides important wiring diagrams, specifi c component literature, warranty registrations cards and other valuable paperwork, including a copy of this Installation/Operation and Maintenance manual.
Page 9
It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to return the start-up sheet and warranty registration card to Data Aire for proper activation of the unit warranty. Failure to do so may cause delays and in some cases void the warranty.
Data Aire does not assume this responsibility. The chart covers distances up to 200 equivalent feet. For installations beyond this distance, consult ASHRAE or similar references.
Water/Glycol Cooled Unit Piping The required fi eld installed condenser water pipe sizes may or may not be the same as the connection sizes at the evaporator or fl uid cooler. This will depend on the length of pipe and the calculated pressure drop of peripheral components.

Humidifi er Piping The optional humidifi er offered on Mini Ceiling systems is a steam generator type with a disposable cylinder. The humidifi er makeup water should be brought to the humidifi er through the fi eld connection opening using 1/4” copper tubing. A compression fi tting is provided at the humidifi er. A shutoff valve should be provided outside the unit to allow disconnection of service.
On most remote heat exchangers the terminals will also be #39 and #40. All control wiring on Data Aire equipment is 24 VAC. Condensing units (compressors mounted in condenser) typically require more wires. Refer to wiring...
Remote Shutdown Every Data Aire evaporator has remote shutdown contact points available. These are intended for a fi eld supplied dry contact or switch to be wired across two terminals. When the contact or switch opens, the control circuit power is interrupted and the unit shuts down, including the control panel.
4.0 INSTALLATION OF REMOTE OUTDOOR HEAT EXCHANGER Air cooled condensers and fl uid coolers have individual Installation, Operation and Maintenance manuals which should be referred to for more complete details. Rigging This section covers outdoor condensers/condensing units and fl uid coolers. For indoor condensers and condensing units refer to section 1.3.4.
Noise factors should be also considered when locating an air cooled heat exchanger. Proximity to windows, walls, and surrounding structures can cause objections by the occupants. An acoustical expert should be consulted when noise is of a particular concern. Air cooled heat exchangers should be placed at a level that is higher than the indoor evaporator. Mounting the remote heat exchanger (condenser or condensing unit) more than 10 feet below the evaporator is not recommended.
is too cold can cause excessive dehumidifi cation and coil sweating. Fluid temperature that is too high can cause the indoor space temperature to rise. This can cause the optional microprocessor controls to lock out the energy saver mode for one hour while it reverts back to compressorized cooling.
A system charged to a clear sight glass is often over-charged. 5.1.3. Fan Speed Control System Charging The standard outdoor air cooled condenser for Data Aire equipment is a fan speed control system. Connect the refrigerant drum to the low side of the system. Make sure all hoses are properly purged.
5.1.4. Flooded System Charging Flooded systems are units having refrigerant circuits with an optional liquid receiver and head pressure control valve. When the ambient temperature falls during cold weather, the head pressure control valve will regulate the fl ow of refrigerant to ensure nearly constant receiver pressure. The condenser is partially fl...
Water/Glycol Cooled Systems 5.2.1. Water/Glycol Cooled Systems Charging All water/glycol cooled units are factory charged. The water regulating valve should be adjusted to maintain 230 to 260 psi head pressure. Suction temperature should be 58 psi or greater. The superheat at the compressor suction line at least six inches away from the compressor should be 8-15 degrees.
Except for extremely small releases of refrigerant such as what occurs when disconnecting service hoses (diminimous release), a technician who knowingly releases or vents refrigerant to the atmosphere is in violation of this regulation. Refrigerant purchasers must be certifi ed technicians and have a valid EPA certifi...
6.0 GLYCOL SYSTEMS Glycol Concentration The system must be fi lled with water and the appropriate amount of ethylene or propylene glycol to protect against winter freeze-up. To achieve the approximate glycol concentration, it is necessary to know the total system volume. This consists of the sum of the fl uid cooler volume, the evaporator unit volume, and the volume of the interconnecting piping.
7.0 CONTROLS Standard Thermostat The standard controls on all Mini Ceiling system equipment is a single stage cooling thermostat. Units requiring optional reheat and/or humidifi er require the optional Mini DAP II control panel described below. Optional Programmable Thermostat This optional thermostat is the same as the standard thermostat except it has some simple programmable functions.
Wiring Diagrams Every Data Aire evaporator, condenser, condensing unit or fl uid cooler comes with a wiring diagram. These diagrams are ‘ladder’-type schematics intended for service personnel. The intent is to allow the technician to understand the wiring details associated with the electrical components and how they interface with the controls as well as peripheral equipment, including secondary heat exchangers.
8.0 REGULAR MAINTENANCE ITEMS Air Filters Filters should be checked on a regular basis and changed when they become dirty. This will ensure effi cient operation of the unit. Spare fi lters should be kept in stock as these tend to be a frequently replaced maintenance item.
Refrigerant Filter Drier Factory installed refrigerant fi lter driers do not normally require maintenance. When replacing compressors or other repairs that open the refrigeration system to atmosphere, it is advisable to replace the fi lter drier. The equivalent type and size should be used.
9.0 Warranty Policy Seller warrants its equipment to Buyer to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of eighteen (18) months from date of shipment, as long as equipment is utilized under normal conditions and service and is properly installed; however, the warranty shall not be applicable to any of the following items: refrigerant, belts, fi...
