• The installer must comply with all local codes and
regulations which govern the installation of this type of
equipment. Local codes and regulations take precedence
over any recommendations contained in these instructions.
Consult local building codes and the National Electrical
Code (ANSI CI) for special installation requirements.
• Air Ducts must be installed in accordance with the standards
of the National Fire Protection Association “Standards for
Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilation Systems”
(NFPA 90A), “Standard for Installation of Residence Type
Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Systems” (NFPA

GENERAL INFORMATION
About the Rooftop Unit
Single Package Electric Cooling Rooftop Units are designed
only for outdoor rooftop or ground level installations and can
be readily connected to the duct system of a building.
This unit has been tested for capacity and efficiency in
accordance with AHRI Standards and will provide many
years of safe and dependable comfort, providing it is properly
installed and maintained. With regular maintenance, this unit
will operate satisfactorily year after year. Abuse, improper
use, and/or improper maintenance can shorten the life of
the appliance and create unsafe hazards.
To achieve optimum performance and minimize equipment
failure, it is recommended that periodic maintenance be
performed on this unit. The ability to properly perform
maintenance on this equipment requires certain tools and
mechanical skills.
Before You Install this Equipment
√ The cooling load of the area to be conditioned must be
calculated and a system of the proper capacity selected.
It is recommended that the area to be conditioned be
completely insulated and vapor sealed.
√ Check the electrical supply and verify the power supply
is adequate for unit operation. Consideration should be
given to availability of electric power, service access, noise,
and shade. If there is any question concerning the power
supply, contact the local power company.
√ All units are securely packed at the time of shipment and
upon arrival should be carefully inspected for damage prior
to installing the equipment at the job site. Verify coil fins
are straight. If necessary, comb fins to remove flattened
or bent fins. Claims for damage (apparent or concealed)
should be filed immediately with the carrier.
√ Please consult your dealer for maintenance information and
availability of maintenance contracts. Read all instructions
before installing the unit.
Locating the Unit
• Survey the job site to determine the best location for the
packaged unit. The unit should be located with consideration
of minimizing the length of the supply and return ducts.
If practical, place the equipment and its ducts in an area
where they will be shaded from the afternoon sun, when
the heat load is greatest.
• For Horizontal installations: select a solid, level position,
preferably on a concrete slab, slightly above the grade
level, and parallel to the building.
• Overhead obstructions, poorly ventilated areas, and areas
subject to accumulation of debris should be avoided. Do
not place the unit in a confined space or recessed area
where discharge air from the unit could re-circulate back
through the condenser coil.
• Sufficient clearance for unobstructed airflow through the
louvered control access panel and outdoor coil must be
maintained in order to achieve rated performance. See
Figure 1 (page 5) for minimum clearance requirements.
• If minimum clearances to combustibles are greater
than recommended serviceability clearances, then
clearances to combustibles must take precedence.
