I.O.M. M • VH F ANUAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS The equipment covered by this manual is designed for safe and reliable operation when installed and oper- ated within its design specification limits. To avoid personal injury or damage to equipment or property while installing or operating this equipment, it is essential that qualified, experienced personnel perform these functions using good judgement and safe practices.
I.O.M. M • VH F ANUAL SECTION ONE: Receipt & Installation PREFACE Environmental Technologies fan coils represent a prudent investment which can, with proper installation, operation, and regular maintenance, give trouble-free operation and long service. Your equipment is initially protected under the manufacturer’s standard warranty; however, this warranty is provided under the condition that the steps outlined in this manual for initial inspec- tion, proper installation, regular periodic maintenance, and everyday operation of the equipment be followed in detail.
VH F • I.O.M. M ANUAL UNPACKING & INSPECTION All units are carefully inspected at the factory throughout the manufacturing process under a strict detailed quality assurance program, and where possible, all major components and subassemblies are carefully test- ed for proper operation and verified to be in full compliance with the factory manufacturing documents. The only exception to this being the operational testing of some customer furnished components such as control valves and switches.
VH F • I.O.M. M ANUAL HANDLING & INSTALLATION While all equipment is designed and fabricated of sturdy construction and may present a rugged appear- ance, great care must be taken to assure that no force or pressure be applied to the coil, risers, piping or drain stub-outs during handling.
Gaskets are shipped with the unit hose assembly. See note on page 9. Replacement gaskets are available from your Enviro-Tec representative. The gasket part number is PH-05-0047. All mating connections must be prevented from twisting during the swivel tightening process by using a backup wrench.
I.O.M. M • VH F ANUAL All units must be installed in non-hazardous areas. Zero clearance to combustible materials is allowed. Some models are designed to be connected to duct-work with a MINIMUM amount of external static pres- sure. These units may be damaged by operation without the proper duct-work connected. Consult the approved submittals and the product catalog for unit external static pressure limitations.
VH F • I.O.M. M ANUAL fused, circuit breaker or disconnect means as applicable to meet local and national electrical codes. All electrical connections should be checked for tightness prior to startup. All components furnished for field installation, by either the factory or the controls contractor should be located and checked for proper function and compatibility.
I.O.M. M • VH F ANUAL SECTION TWO: Start-Up GENERAL Before beginning any start-up operation, the start-up personnel should familiarize themselves with the unit, options and accessories, and control sequence to understand the proper system operation. All per- sonnel should have a good working knowledge of general start-up procedures and have the appropriate start-up and balancing guides available for consultation.
VH F • I.O.M. M ANUAL Each individual unit and associated duct-work is a unique system with its own operating characteristics. For this reason, air balancing is normally done by balance specialists who are familiar with all procedures required to properly establish air distribution and fan system operating conditions. These procedures should not be attempted by unqualified personnel.
I.O.M. M • VH F ANUAL SECTION THREE: Normal Operation & Periodic Maintenance GENERAL Each unit on a job will have its own unique operating environment and conditions that may dictate main- tenance schedule for that unit that is different form other equipment on the job. A formal schedule of regular maintenance and an individual unit log should be established and maintained.
VH F • I.O.M. M ANUAL thermal switches must be replaced once the circuit has been broken. The high limit thermal cutout device is a safety device only and is not intended for continuous operation. With proper unit application and operation, the high limit thermal cutout will not operate.
I.O.M. M • VH F ANUAL tered with these types of filters is not compatible with the type of fan coil unit covered in this manual. Consult the factory for applications using filter types other than the factory standard or optional prod- uct.
