1.0 INSTALLATION
There is no intent on the part of Data Aire, Inc. to define 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.
1.1 Room Considerations
Precision air conditioning equipment is designed to control spaces within close tolerances of temperature
and humidity. However, the room must be built with a proper vapor barrier. A film of polyethylene is often
used on walls and ceilings. Walls and floors must also be painted with a vapor-seal paint. All doors to
the data room should be equipped with weather seals to prevent the infiltration of non-neutral conditioned
air from entering the data room. Failure to provide a vapor barrier can compromise the ability to control
space conditions.
Introduction of outside air into the space should be minimized. Outside air in excess of 5% of the total
circulated air volume can have a significant effect on the overall space conditions and result in poor
space control. All outside air that is introduced into the space should be conditioned to the humidity and
temperature parameters of the computer room air conditioning (CRAC) unit set points to maintain proper
room conditions and to prevent the CRAC units from running excessively to maintain the room conditions.
1.2 Inspection
This Data Aire unit has been factory run-tested and has gone through a comprehensive inspection prior
to its packaging and shipment to ensure that it arrives in excellent condition. However, shipping damage
can occur and a visual inspection of the outer crating immediately upon delivery should be performed.
Note any external damage or other transportation damage on the freight carrier’s forms. Inspect the unit
itself for internal damage. A claim should be filed with the shipping company if the equipment is damaged
or incomplete.
Loose items such as thermostat or other optional control panels are shipped with the unit. Refer to the
manila shipping tag located on the unit panel for details
Freight damage claims are the responsibility of the purchaser. Action to recover losses
should be filed immediately with the freight company. Refer to yellow shipping tag located on
the unit door for details
Freight damage claims are the responsibility of the purchaser. Action to recover losses should be filed
immediately. Please notify factory personnel of any claims.
1.3 Locating the Unit
When installing the unit, sufficient space must be allowed for airflow clearance, wiring, plumbing and
service access. It is recommended that each side and front have a clearance of at least 12" to allow
servicing of the unit.
Some sides may not require as much service clearance. Refer to the unit component drawings for
assistance. Rear clearance is not required.
