Cabinet Skid (4-units per skid) Receiving and Storage Never stack cabinets higher than as illustrated in Figure Upon receipt of the equipment, check the carton and 1 at any time during transportation or storage or damage pallets for visible damage . Make a notation on the may occur .
Handling DO NOT handle units by the riser piping . Riser clamps hold the riser in position; they are not designed to Carefully check items against the bills of lading to support the cabinet weight . The clamps are removed verify all crates and cartons have been received .
Disassembling Upper and Lower Figure 5: Remove remaining eight (8) screws on the left and right sides of the cabinet Cabinet Sections Four (4) screws located on left side of cabinet The Vertical Stack unit cabinet ships completely assembled . If required, it may be disassembled into two (2) sections (upper-fan/discharge cabinet) and (lower chassis/return air cabinet) to make it easier to handle .
Pre-Installation Considerations Figure 11: Typical Side by Side Unit Installation 1 . To prevent damage to equipment, do not operate supplementary heating and cooling during the construction period . 2. Inspect the carton for any specific tagging numbers indicated by the factory per a request from the installing contractor .

Figure 18: Typical Framing & Discharge Arrangements Double Side Discharge = Return Air = Discharge Air Typical Ducted Application NOTICE Top air discharge units will require turning vanes and/or a volume damper for proper air flow and balancing, to mini- mize turbulence.
Critical Dimensions Critical Dimensions Location of studs is critical for proper installation and Note: If the unit cabinet was shipped without fit up and can help to reduce unit noise due to vibration risers attached it will be necessary to remove the when properly installed .
Critical Dimensions Return Air Grille/Panel Dimensions Location of studs in relation to the unit and the return air grille panel are critical for proper installation and fit up. When installed, the return air grille gasket must compress and seal completely against the outer edge of the cabinet and around the inner front panel and filter bracket .
Note: Refer to "Critical Dimensions", page 14 to Installation Procedure determine the correct recess depth from the front of CAUTION the unit to the drywall face. When the installation is Installation and maintenance is to be performed only by qualified complete, the return air grille/panel frame must meet personnel who are familiar with, and in compliance with state, local to seal with the cabinet discharge opening and the...
Note: Be sure that each riser stub-out (supply & WARNING return) are centered within the riser knockout in the cabinet (Figure 25). If there is a void between Before furring-in units, hydrostatically test the risers and unit connection joints in accordance with local building the stub-out and the stub-out seal on the cabinet codes, to make sure they are leak-proof.

Note: To complete the flexible hose connections Make Flexible Hose Connections to the to the chassis, only partially install the chassis Supply and Return Valves From Riser into the cabinet as shown on page 22, figure 35 Stub-Outs “Installing Unit Chassis”. 1.
Installing Unit Chassis Figure 36: Slide Chassis into Cabinet Leaving a 10" Gap for Clearance to Make Flexible Hose Connections 1 . Thread the MPT adapters removed from the swivel ends of the flexible hoses onto the chassis FPT supply and return pipe connections . Using two crescent wrenches, one to hold the chassis pipe connection and the second on the adapter fitting, tighten the connections .
Installing the (Optional) Remote Control Figure 39: Connect Wires to the RCN Terminals and snap the plastic standoffs onto Board Node (RCN) For Use With The Optional Wireless Thermostat Plastic Standoffs (4) DANGER Disconnect all electrical power before servicing unit. Electrical shock will cause severe injury or death.
Installing The Return Air Grille/Panel Note: Be sure the bottom flange of the door frame 1 . Install the return air grille/panel assembly (Figure slides beneath the cabinet flange, as shown in Figure 41) . Center, level and plumb the frame inside the framed opening .
Installing The Discharge Air Diffuser 3 . Push the diffuser frame in until it compresses against the foam seal and the room side frame is 1. Adhere field-provided 1/2" foam seal to the face of flush against the drywall. Be sure the diffuser frame the cabinet around the perimeter of the discharge air is level and plumb and secure it with the two (2) opening (Figure 42) .
