INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

These instructions are intended as a general guide only and do not supersede any national or local codes in any way. Compliance with all local, state, or national codes pertaining to this type of equipment should be determined prior to installation.Read this entire instruction manual, as well as the instructions supplied in separate equipment, before starting the installation.All models are designed for indoor installation only.The installation of the air handler, field wiring, warm air ducts, etc. must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (latest edition) in the United States, and any state laws, and local ordinances (including plumbing or wastewater codes). Local authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before installation is made. Such applicable regulations or requirements take precedence over the general instructions in this manual.Install the conditioned air plenum, ducts and air filters (not provided) in accordance with NFPA 90B Standard for the Installation of Warm Air Heating and Air-Conditioning Systems (latest edition).The air handler is provided with flanges for the connection of the plenum and ducts.Air Filters must be listed as Class 2 furnace air filters.The air handler is shipped from the factory completely assembled, configured for upflow or horizontal right-hand discharge. For downflow (counterflow) or horizontal left-hand discharge, some field modifications and/or kits may be required. See the “Accessories” section.Do not remove the cabinet knockouts until it has been determined which knockouts will need to be removed for the installation. Select the final installation position which best suits the site conditions. Consider required clearances, space, routing requirements for refrigerant line, condensate disposal, filters, duct work, wiring, and accessibility for service. Refer to the air handler rating plate on the air handler for specific information.

Tools and PartsAssemble the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.Tools Needed:

Parts Supplied:■ Replacement orifice package

Parts Needed:Check local codes, check existing electrical supply, and read “Duct Work Requirements,” and “Electrical Requirements,” before purchasing parts.

Outdoor System RequirementsThe air handler is designed to match, and must be used with, outdoor units as rated. The indoor sections are manufactured with an interchangeable refrigerant metering orifice to provide optimum refrigerant control and system performance with a variety of different capacities of outdoor units.In some cases, the outdoor unit may require a refrigerant metering orifice change to obtain rated performance.

Location Requirements

NOTE: When used on cooling applications, excessive sweating may occur when the air handler is installed in a very humid space.■ If installed in an unconditioned space, sealant should be

applied around the electrical wires, refrigerant tubing, and condensate lines where they enter the cabinet.

■ Electrical wires should be sealed on the inside where they exit the conduit opening. Sealant is required to prevent air leakage into and condensate from forming inside the air handler, control box, and on electrical controls.

■ The air handler must be installed in such a way as to allow free access to the coil/filter compartment and blower/control compartment.

■ The air handler must be installed in a level position to ensure proper condensate drainage.

■ ¹⁄₄ in. Nut driver

Installation Clearances

Non-Ducted Return Closet InstallationThe air handler can be installed in a closet with a false bottom to form a return air plenum or be installed with a return air plenum under the air handler.Louvers or return air grilles are field supplied. Local codes may limit application of systems without a ducted return to single-story buildings.■ Install louvers in a closet. Use the “Filter Requirements Chart”

to determine the opening size that will provide the amount of free air you will require. If using louvers or grilles, match the free area rating of the louver or grille to the Minimum Return Air Free Area you determined to be necessary by consulting the “Filter Requirements Chart.”

■ If the free area is not known, assume a 25% free area for wood or a 75% free area for metal louvers or grilles.

■ If the return air plenum is used, the return air grille should be immediately in front of the opening in the plenum to allow for the free flow of return air.

■ When not installed in front of the opening, there must be adequate clearance around the air handler to allow for the free flow of return air.

Installation ConfigurationsFor ease in installation, it is best to make any necessary coil configuration changes before setting air handler in place. See “Installation Configuration Options.”

Vertical Installations

UpflowThe air handler must be supported on the bottom only and set on solid floor or field supplied supporting frame. Securely attach the air handler to the floor or supporting frame.

CounterflowA vertical upflow air handler may be converted to vertical downflow (counterflow). A kit is required for this conversion. See “Airflow Conversion” section.

Horizontal Installations

Horizontal installations can be left-hand or right-hand air supply. Adequate support must be provided to insure cabinet integrity. Ensure that there is adequate room to remove service and access panels if installing in the horizontal position. For correct horizontal coil installation, see “Installation Configuration Options.” IMPORTANT:■ When an evaporator coil is installed in an attic or above a

finished ceiling, an auxiliary drain pan should be provided under the air handler as specified by most local building codes. This coil is provided with a secondary drain that should be trapped and piped to a location that will give the occupant a visual warning that the primary drain is clogged. See “Connect Condensate Drain.”

Conversion from Vertical to HorizontalA vertical upflow or vertical downflow air handler may be converted to horizontal by removing the indoor coil and installing a horizontal drain pan on the coil for right-hand or left-hand air supply.

Suspended Cabinet InstallationNOTE: Air handler cannot be installed horizontally lying on or suspended from either the front or back of the air handler. They must be positioned with one side parallel to the floor (the side closest to the floor) when in the horizontal position. The suspending means must be field fabricated, and should consist of two “cradles” made by attaching two rods to a length of angle iron or suitable gauge steel.

Electrical Requirements

NOTE: Use copper conductors only.■ All field wiring must be done in accordance with National

Electrical Code, applicable requirements of UL and local codes, where applicable.

■ Electrical wiring, disconnect means and over-current protection are to be supplied by the installer. Refer to the air handler rating plate for maximum over-current protection, minimum circuit ampacity, as well as operating voltage.

■ The power supply must be sized and protected according to the specifications supplied on the product.

■ This air handler is factory configured for 240 Volt, single phase, 60 cycles. For 208 Volt applications, see “208 Volt Conversion” in the “Make Electrical Connections” section.

■ For optional Electric Heater applications, see “Accessories.” Refer to the instructions provided with the accessory for proper installation.

Duct Work Requirements■ Install the conditioned air plenum, ducts and air filters (not

provided) in accordance with NFPA 90B Standard for the Installation of Warm Air Heating and Air-Conditioning Systems (latest edition).

■ The air handler is provided with flanges for the connection of the plenum and ducts.

■ Air Filters must be listed as Class 2 furnace air filters.

■ Supply and return duct work must be adequately sized to meet the system’s air requirements and static pressure capabilities. Duct work should be insulated with a minimum of 1 in. thick insulation with a vapor barrier in conditioned areas or 2 in. minimum in unconditioned areas.

■ Supply plenum should be the same size as the flanged opening provided around the blower outlet and should extend ideally at least 3 ft from the air handler before turning or branching off plenum into duct runs.The plenum forms an extension of the blower housing and minimizes air expansion losses from the blower.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Inspect Shipment

These air handlers are completely factory assembled, and all components are performance tested. Each unit consists of a blower assembly, refrigerant coil, and controls, in an insulated galvanized factory finished enclosure. Knockouts are provided for electrical wiring entrance1. Check the unit rating plate to confirm specifications are as

ordered.2. Upon receipt of equipment, carefully inspect it for possible

shipping damage. Take special care to examine the unit inside the carton if the carton is damaged.

If damage is found, it should be noted on the carrier’s freight bill. Damage claims should be filed with the carrier immediately. Claims of shortages should be filed with the seller within 5 days.NOTE: If any damages are discovered and reported to the carrier, do not install the unit as your claim may be denied.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Electrically ground air handler.

Connect ground wire to ground terminal marked “GND”.

Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

Excessive Weight HazardUse two or more people to move and install air handler.

WARNING

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Install Condensate Drain PanThe air handler is provided with ³⁄₄ in. NPT condensate drain connections.A field-fabricated auxiliary drain pan, with a drain pipe to the outside of the building, is required in all installations over a finished living space or in any area that may be damaged by overflow from the main drain pan. In some localities, local codes may require an auxiliary drain pan for any horizontal installation.Make sure unit is level so that the drain pan will empty completely without water standing in the pan.1. Remove the appropriate drain knockouts. See “Drain Pan

Connections” section. You may need to remove the indoor coil assembly from the cabinet.

2. Remove any web from inside any threaded drain pan hole to which a drain line is to be connected. Use care when removing the web so as not to damage the coil.

3. Connect primary drain line connection to the primary drain pan connection. The primary drain connection is flush with the bottom of the inside of the pan. Secondary connection is raised above the bottom of the inside of the pan. NOTE: When making drain fitting connections to the drain pan, hand tighten. Using a sealant is recommended. Overtightening the fittings can split connections on the drain pan.

4. Secondary drain connections, if used, should be connected to a separate drainage system. Run the auxiliary drain line to a place where the occupant would notice if water started coming from the auxiliary drain.

5. Install a 3 in. trap in both the primary and secondary drain lines as close to the unit as practical. Make sure the top of the trap is below the connection to the drain pan to allow complete drainage of the pan.NOTE: Horizontal runs over 15 ft long must also have an anti-siphon air vent (stand pipe) installed ahead of the horizontal run. See “Typical Condensate Drain Connection.” An extremely long horizontal run may require an oversized drain line to eliminate air trapping.

Typical Condensate Drain Connection(secondary drain not shown)

NOTE: Do not operate air handler without a drain trap. The condensate drain is on the negative pressure side of the blower; therefore, air being pulled through the condensate line will prevent positive drainage without a proper trap.6. Route the drain line to the outside or to an appropriate drain.

Drain lines must be installed so they do not block service access to the front of the air handler. A 24 in. clearance is required for filter, coil, or blower removal and service access.NOTE: Check local codes before connecting the drain line to an existing drainage system.

7. Insulate the drain lines where sweating could cause water damage.

Test condensate drain pan and drain line after installation:1. Pour several quarts of water into drain pan, enough to fill

drain trap and line.2. Check to make sure the drain pan is draining completely, no

leaks are found in drain line fittings, and water is draining from the end of the primary drain line.

3. Correct any leaks found.

Install Duct WorkIMPORTANT:■ Install duct work in accordance with NFPA 90B and any local

codes.

■ Connect supply air duct to the flange on top of the air handler. If an isolation connector is used, it must be non-flammable.

■ A return air duct system is recommended. If the unit is installed in a confined space or closet, a return connection must be run, full size, to a location outside the closet.

Filter Specifications

Verify Orifice SizeIMPORTANT: The proper orifice size is dependent on indoor coil/outdoor unit combination and application.1. Consult the outdoor unit information to determine if the

indoor unit has the correct orifice installed. 2. If a change of the orifice is required, loosen the retainer nut

and separate the retainer tube assembly.

3. Remove the orifice with an orifice extractor tool from the replacement orifice package provided.

4. Insert the proper orifice into the fitting, seal end first. Make sure the orifice is free to move in the fitting.

5. Replace the retainer nut.NOTE: Overtightening the retainer nut will crush the gasket and may result in a system leak or stuck piston.

6. Dispose of all packaging and unused parts.

Connect Refrigerant LinesIMPORTANT: Refrigerant lines must be connected by a licensed, EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with established procedures.■ To avoid damaging the rubber grommets in the cabinet while

brazing, slide the rubber grommets over the refrigerant lines until they are away from the heat source.

■ Use a braze compound suitable for refrigeration lines, such as an alloy of silver or copper and phosphorus with a melting point of not more than 1100°F. Braze the copper refrigerant lines to the copper stubs at the coil and at the condensing unit and let cool.

NOTE: Do not use soft solder.

■ Reinstall the rubber grommets after brazing is finished.

Complete InstallationNOTE: Refer to outdoor unit installation instructions for system start-up instructions and refrigerant charging instructions.

Pre-Start Check

■ Is unit properly located, level, secure, and serviceable?

■ Has an auxiliary pan been provided under the unit with separate drain for units installed above a finished ceiling or in any installation where condensate overflow could cause damage?

■ Have all webs been carefully removed from the drain connections that are being used? Have all drain pan plugs not used been properly plugged?

■ Has the condensate line been properly sized, run, trapped, pitched, and tested?

■ Is the duct work correctly sized, run, taped, and insulated?

■ Have all cabinet openings and wiring been sealed?

■ Is the indoor coil orifice size correct?

■ Have all unused orifice replacement parts and packaging been disposed of?

■ Is the filter clean, in place, and of adequate size?

■ Is the wiring neat, correct, and in accordance with the wiring diagram?

■ Is the unit properly grounded and protected (fused)?

■ Is the thermostat correctly wired and in a good location?

■ Are all access panels in place and secure?

Check Blower Operation

1. Set thermostat to FAN ON.2. The indoor blower should come on.

Check Electric Heater (if used)

1. Set thermostat to call for auxiliary heat (approximately 5°F above ambient temperature).The indoor blower and auxiliary heat should come on together. Allow a minimum of 3 minutes for all sequencers to cycle on.

2. Set the thermostat so it does not call for heat. Allow up to 5 minutes for all sequencers to cycle off.

Check Hydronic Coil Heat (if used)

1. Set thermostat to call for heat (approximately 5°F above ambient temperature). The hydronic heat pump or valve will come on followed by the indoor blower.

2. Set the thermostat so it does not call for heat. Allow up to 5 minutes for the pump or valve and the blower to cycle off.

Check Airflow

Cooling blower speed■ For proper cooling operation, the airflow through the indoor

coil should be between 350 – 450 CFM per ton of cooling capacity (or 350 -450 CFM per 12,000 BTU/HR) based on the rating of the outdoor unit.

■ The cooling blower speed is factory configured to provide correct airflow for an outdoor unit that matches the maximum cooling capacity rating of the air handler.

■ If the outdoor unit is smaller than the maximum cooling capacity rating for the air handler, the cooling blower speed may need to be changed. Refer to “Blower Performance Chart.”

IMPORTANT: The cooling blower speed must be set to provide a minimum of 350 CFM airflow per ton (12,000 BTU/HR) of outdoor cooling capacity.

Heating blower speed (If Electric Heat or Hydronic Heat is installed)■ The heating blower speed is factory configured for the same

setting as the cooling blower speed.

■ It may be necessary to change the heating blower speed to obtain optimum comfort and performance.

To change cooling blower speed: (Refer to “Wiring Diagram - Blower”)1. Disconnect all power supplies.2. Remove the control compartment access panel.3. Remove the factory installed motor lead (Blue or Red) from

pin #2 on the blower relay.4. Remove the insulator from the desired motor speed tap.5. Install the new motor speed tap onto pin #2 of the motor

relay.6. Install the insulator you removed unto the unused motor

speed tap.7. Replace all panels.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONCooling (cooling only or heat pump)When the thermostat calls for cooling, the circuit between R and G is completed, and the blower relay is energized. The Normally Open contacts close, causing the indoor blower motor to operate. The circuit between R and Y is also completed; this circuit closes the contactor in the outdoor unit starting the compressor and outdoor fan motor. Circuit R and O energizes the reversing valve, switching it to the cooling position. (The reversing valve remains energized as long as selector switch is in the COOL position.)Heating (electric heat only)When the thermostat calls for heat, the circuit between R and W is completed, and the heater sequencer is energized. A time delay follows before the heating elements and the indoor blower motor come on. Units with a second heat sequencer can be connected with the first sequencer to W on the thermostat sub-base or connected to a second stage on the sub-base.Heating (heat pump)When the thermostat calls for heat, the circuits between R and Y and R and G are completed. Circuit R-Y energizes the contactor starting the outdoor fan motor and the compressor. Circuit R and G energizes the blower relay starting the indoor blower motor.If the room temperature should continue to fall, the circuit between R and W 1 is completed by the second stage heat room thermostat. Circuit R-W 1 energizes a heat sequencer. The completed circuit will energize supplemental electric heat (if applicable). Units with a second heater sequencer can be connected with the first sequencer to W 1 on the thermostat or connected to a second heating stage W 2 on the thermostat sub-base.Emergency Heat (heating heat pump)If selector switch on thermostat is set to the emergency heat position, the heat pump will be locked out of the heating circuit, and all heating will be electric heat (if applicable). A jumper should be placed between W 2 and E on the thermostat sub-base so that the electric heat control will transfer to the first stage heat on the thermostat. This will allow the indoor blower to cycle on and off with the electric heat when the fan switch is in the AUTO position.Heating (hydronic heat)When the thermostat calls for heat, the circuit between R and W is completed, and the heater sequencer is energized. The external circulating pump or control valve to supply hot water to the hydronic coil comes on, then a second set of contacts close which are used to bring on the indoor blower.

AIR HANDLER MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT: Do not operate system without a filter. A filter is required to protect the coil, blower, and internal parts from excessive dirt and dust. See “Installation Configurations” for the location of the filter in the unit cabinet and the service panel giving access to unit filter. The filter is placed in the supply air return duct by the installer.■ Inspect air filters at least once a month and replace or clean

as required. Dirty filters are the most common cause of inadequate heating or cooling performance.

■ Replace disposable filters. Cleanable filters can be cleaned by soaking in mild detergent and rinsing with cold water.

■ Install new/clean filters with the arrows on the side pointing in the direction of airflow.

■ Never replace a cleanable (high velocity) filter with a disposable (low velocity) filter unless return air system is properly sized for it.

■ If water should start coming from the auxiliary drain line, a problem exists which should be investigated and corrected. Contact a qualified person.
