Installation Installation Selection of the best location • Where optimum air distribution can be ensured. • Where nothing blocks air passage and install the duct work. • Where condensate can be properly drained. • Where the ceiling is strong enough to bear the indoor unit weight. • Where the false ceiling is not noticeably on an incline. • Where sufficient clearance for maintenance and service can be ensured. • Where piping between indoor and outdoor units is possible within the allowable limit.
Installation • Position unit for plenum installation. • The plenum should be secured in order to support the installation of adapter callers accommodate the installation of any duct work. • Seal all duct work according to local codes to prevent air leakage. Ensure that filter access is unobstructed. • The air handler support platform should be sturdy enough to support the cabinet plus any accessory components including filter box.
Installation Downflow Installation Downflow installation requires various changes to the air handling unit from original configuration. There are additional kits required in order to convert the air handling unit to the downflow configuration. 1) Please remove the panels and Brackets from the unit. A 2) Please remove the thermistor from a coil. Also remove a coil and Drain pan from the unit D Deletion E B F C 3) Rotate the cabinet. 4) Please assemble the downflow bracket as below.

Installation • Over 10 screws should be used for joining supply duct with the unit. • To prevent vibration transmission, exploit flexible connectors between duct and the unit. It is mandatory that the flexible connector between unit and duct at discharge connection should be made off heat resistive material when electric heater is installed. • Duct work must be insulated and covered with vapor barrier when routed through unconditioned space.
Installation Horizontal-left Installation • It is particular that the units should not be installed in such a manner that the access panels facing up or down • It should be confirmed that the installation is in accordance with all relevant building codes that may necessitate installation of external condensate pan. -Set up a support for unit by locating it in or above external condensate pan.

Installation Flaring work Main cause of gas leakage is defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the following procedure. Copper tube 90° Slanted Uneven Rough 1) Cut the pipes n Use the accessory piping kit or the pipes purchased locally. n Measure the distance between the indoor and the outdoor unit. n Cut the pipes a little longer than measured distance. n Cut the cable 1.5 m(4.9 ft) longer than the pipe length.

Installation Condensate Drain • The drainage performance has to be optimized by installing both primary and secondary drain lines along with properly sized condensate traps in order to prevent property damage. • Care should be taken to avoid the blocking of filter access panel while connecting condensate drain lines. The primary and secondary condensate traps has to be primed after connecting to the drain pan.
