If flexible supply air ducts are used, they may be located only in the vertical walls of rectangular plenum, a minimum of 6 inches from the solid bottom. Metal plenum of duct may be connected to the combustible floor base, if not, it must be connected to the unit supply duct exposed to the supply air opening from the downflow unit. Exposing combustible (non-metal) material to the supply opening of a downflow unit can cause a fire resulting in property damage, personal injury or death.
- Exception warning to downflow:
- Installations on concrete floor slab with supply air plenum and ductwork completely encased must be not less than 2 inches of concrete (See NFPA 90A).
GENERAL
- The unit can be positioned for bottom return air in the upflow position, left and right return in the horizontal position, top return in downflow position.
- This Air Handler provides the flexibility for installation in any upflow or downflow horizontal application. The direct drive motors provide a selection of air volume.
- Top and side power and control wiring, accessible screw terminals for control wiring all combine to make the installation easy, and minimize installation cost. See Fig.2-5.
- Do not install unit in an area where flammable materials are present due to the risk of an explosion resulting in serious injury or death.
WARNING: If the supporting structural members are not strong enough to take the unit’s weight, the unit could fall out of place and cause serious injury. If a return-air duct is not installed, carefully select the place and method of product installation so that air flow into the product will not be blocked.
The unit should be installed in a level position to ensure proper condensation drainage. Up to an additional ¼” rise over the width or depth of the unit is allowed to create additional sloping towards the drain. Unit must be positioned between level and ¼” rise, sloping toward the drain connections. Install the indoor unit, power supply wiring and connecting wires at least 3.5 ft. away from televisions or radios in order to prevent image interference or noise. See Fig.2-1 and Fig.2-2.
- When the unit is installed in a hot and humid place, If the humidity inside the installation space might exceed 86°F and RH 80%, it is recommended to insulate the cabinet exterior.
- Use glass wool or polyethylene foam as insulation so that the thickness is more than 2 in. and fits inside the installation space opening.
- Respectively, condensation may form on the surface of the insulation.
- Be sure to use insulation that is designed for use with HVAC Systems.
- Condensation may form on the product during cool operation. It is also recommended to use the second drain pan and secure the unit firmly to prevent it from falling. See Fig.2-3 and Fig.2-4 .

APPLICATIONS
Vertical Upflow
- Upflow is default factory configuration. See Fig.2-5.
- If return air is to be ducted, install duct flush with floor. Use fireproof resilient gasket 1/8 to 1/4 in. thick between the ducts, unit and floor. Set unit on floor over opening.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Torque applied to drain connections should not exceed 15ft.lbs. See Fig.2-5 & 3-1.
Vertical Downflow
Conversion to Vertical Downflow: A vertical upflow unit may be converted to vertical downflow. Remove the door and indoor coil and reinstall 180° from original position. See Fig.3-2.
IMPORTANT: To comply with certification agencies and the National Electric Code for downflow application, the circuit breaker(s) on field-installed electric heater kits must be re-installed per procedure below so that the breaker switch “on” position and marking is up and, “off” position and marking is down.
- To rotate breaker(s): Rotate one breaker set (circuit) at a time starting with the one on the right. Loosen both lugs on the load side of the breaker. (Make sure that wires are identified and are reinstalled into proper breaker). Wires are bundled with wire ties, one bundle going to the right lug and one bundle going to the left lug.
- Using a screwdriver or pencil, lift white plastic tab with hole away from breaker until breaker releases from mounting opening.
- With breaker held in hand, rotate breaker so that “on” position is up, “off” position is down with unit in planned vertical mounting position. Insert right wire bundle into top right breaker lug, ensuring all strands of all wires are inserted fully into lug, and no wire insulation is in lug.
- Tighten lug as tight as possible while holding circuit breaker. Check wires and make sure each wire is secure and none are loose. Repeat for left wire bundle in left top circuit breaker lug.
- Replace breaker by inserting breaker mounting tab opposite white pull tab in opening, hook mounting tab over edge in opening.
- With a screwdriver or pencil, pull the blue tab with hole away from breaker while setting that side of breaker into opening. When breaker is in place, release tab, locking circuit breaker into location in opening.
- Repeat above operation for remaining breaker(s) (if more than one is provided).
- Replace single point wiring jumper bar, if it is used, on line side of breaker and tighten securely.
- Double check wires and lugs to make sure all are secure and tight. Check to make sure unit wiring to circuit breaker load lugs match that shown on the unit wiring diagram.
Note: The switch on the front of the panel is only used with an electric heater.
Horizontal
Conversion to Horizontal left: A vertical upflow unit may be converted to horizontal left by removing indoor coil assembly and reinstalling coil as shown for left hand air supply. See Fig. 3-2
- Secondary drain pan kits are recommended when the unit is configured for the horizontal position over a finished ceiling and/or living space.
Multi-Position Air Handler-ECM
CAUTION: Horizontal units must be configured for right hand air supply or left hand air supply. Horizontal drain pan must be located under indoor coil. Failure to use the drain pan can result in property damage.
Conversion in Horizontal Direction: Horizontal right-hand supply can be changed to horizontal left-hand supply by removing the indoor coil and reinstalling 180° from original.
Installation In An Unconditioned Space
IMPORTANT: There are two pairs of coil rails in the air handler for default and counter flow application. If the air handler is installed in an unconditioned space, the two unused coil rails should be removed to minimize air handler surface sweating. The coil rails can be easily removed by taking off the 6 mounting screws from both sides of the cabinet.
ELECTRICAL WIRING
Field wiring must comply with the National Electric Code (C.E.C. in Canada) and any applicable local ordinance.
WARNING: Disconnect all power to unit before installing or servicing. More than one disconnect switch may be required to de-energize the equipment. Hazardous voltage can cause severe personal injury or death.
Power Wiring
It is important that proper electrical power is available for connection to the unit model being installed. See the unit nameplate, wiring diagram and electrical data in the installation instructions.
- If required, install a branch circuit disconnect of adequate size, located within sight of, and readily accessible to the unit.
IMPORTANT: After the Electric Heater is installed, units may be equipped with one two or three 30-60 amp. circuit breakers. These breaker(s) protect the internal wiring in the event of a short circuit and serve as a disconnect. Circuit breakers installed within the unit do not provide over-current protection of the supply wiring and therefore may be sized larger than the branch circuit protection. - Supply circuit power wiring must be 167°C/75°C minimum copper conductors only. See Electrical Data in this section for ampacity, wire size and circuit protector requirement. Supply circuit protective devices may be either fuses or “HACR” type circuit breakers.
- Power wiring may be connected to either the right, left side or top. Three 7/8″, 1-3/8″, 1-3/4″ dia. concentric knockouts are provided for connection of power wiring to unit.
- Power wiring is connected to the power terminal block in unit electric cabinet.
Control Wiring
IMPORTANT: Class 2 low voltage control wiring should not be run in conduit with main power wiring and must be separated from power wiring, unless class 1 wire of proper voltage rating is used.
- Low voltage control wiring should be 18 Awg. color-coded. For lengths longer than 100 ft., 16 Awg. wire should be used.
- Low voltage control connections are made to low voltage pigtails extending from top of air handler (upflow position – see Fig 2-5).
- Connections for control wiring are made with wire nuts. Control wiring knockouts (5/8″and 7/8″) are also provided on the right and left side of the unit for side connection.
- See wiring diagrams attached to indoor and outdoor sections to be connected.
- Make sure, after installation, separation of control wiring and power wiring has been maintained.
Grounding
WARNING:The unit must be permanently grounded. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock causing personal injury or death.
- Grounding may be accomplished by grounding metal conduit when installed in accordance with electrical codes to the unit cabinet.
- Grounding may also be accomplished by attaching ground wire(s) to ground lug(s) provided in the unit wiring compartment.
- Ground lug(s) are located close to wire entrance on left side of unit (up-flow). Lug(s) may be moved to marked locations near wire entrance on right side of unit (up-flow). If alternate location is more convenient.
- Use of multiple supply circuits require grounding of each circuit to lug(s) provided in unit.

AIRFLOW PERFORMANCE
- Airflow performance data is based on cooling performance with a coil and no filter in place. Select performance table for appropriate unit size.
- External static applied to unit allows operation within the minimum and maximum limits shown in table below for both cooling and electric heat operation.
AIRFLOW PERFORMANCE DATA
- Heat pump systems require a specified airflow for electric heat operating. Each ton of cooling requires between 350 and 450 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM), or 400 CFM nominally.
- Duct design and construction should be carefully done. System performance can be lowered dramatically through bad planning or workmanship.
- Air supply diffusers must be selected and located carefully. They must be sized and positioned to deliver treated air along the perimeter of the space. If they are too small for their intended airflow, they become noisy. If they are not located properly, they cause drafts. Return air grilles must be properly sized to carry air back to the blower. If they are too small, they also cause noise.
- The installers should balance the air distribution system to ensure proper quiet airflow to all rooms in the home. This ensures a comfortable living space.
- An air velocity meter or airflow hood can be used to balance and verify branch and system airflow (CFM).
DUCTWORK
Field ductwork must comply with the National Fire Protection Association NFPA 90A, NFPA 90B and any applicable local ordinance.
WARNING: Do not, under any circumstances, connect return ductwork to any other heat producing device such as fireplace insert, stove, etc. Unauthorized use of such devices may result in fire, carbon monoxide poisoning, explosion, personal injury or property damage.
Sheet metal ductwork in unconditioned spaces must be insulated and covered with a vapor barrier. Fibrous ductwork may be used if constructed and installed in accordance with SMACNA Construction Standard on Fibrous Glass Ducts. Ductwork must comply with National Fire Protection Association as tested by UL Standard 181 for Class I Air Ducts. Check local codes for requirements on ductwork and insulation.
- Duct system must be designed within the range of external static pressure the unit is designed to operate against. It is important that the system airflow be adequate. Make sure supply and return ductwork, grills, special filters, accessories, etc. are accounted for in total resistance. See airflow performance tables in this manual.
- Design the duct system in accordance with “ACCA” Manual “D” Design for Residential Winter and Summer Air Conditioning and Equipment Selection. Latest editions are available from: “ACCA” Air Conditioning Contractors of America, 1513 16th Street,
- N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036. If duct system incorporates flexible air duct, be sure pressure drop Information (straight length plus all turns) shown in “ACCA” Manual “D” is accounted for in the system.
- Supply plenum is attached to the 3/4” duct flanges supplied with the unit. Attach flanges around the blower outlet.
- IMPORTANT: If an elbow is included in the plenum close to the unit, it can not be smaller than the dimensions of the supply duct flange on the unit.
- IMPORTANT: The front flange on the return duct if connected to the blower casing must not be screwed into the area where the power wiring is located. Drills or sharp screw points can damage insulation on wires located inside unit.
- Secure the supply and return ductwork to the unit flanges, using proper fasteners for the type of duct used and tape the duct-to-unit joint as required to prevent air leaks.
REFRIGERANT CONNECTIONS
- Keep the coil connections sealed until refrigerant connections are made. See the Installation Instructions for the outdoor unit for details on line sizing, tubing installation, and charging information.
- Coil is shipped with Nitrogen. Evacuate the system before charging with refrigerant.
- Install refrigerant tubing so that it does not block service access to the front of the unit.
- Nitrogen should flow through the refrigerant lines while brazing.
- Use a brazing shield to protect the cabinet’s paint and a wet rag to protect the rubber grommet and input pipe’s Pistion seal ring from being damaged by torch flames. After the refrigerant connections are made, seal the gap around the connections with pressure sensitive gasket.
WARNING: Use a wet rag to protect the two seal rings in the input pipe from being damaged by torch flames while brazing.
After the work is finished, make sure to check that there is no vapor leak after checking for vapor leaks, be sure to insulate the piping connections referring to Fig.7-1.
Condensate Drain Tubing
Consult local codes for specific requirements.
IMPORTANT
- When making drain fitting connections to the drain pan, use a thin layer of Teflon paste, silicone or Teflon tape and install, hand tighten.
- When making drain fitting connections to drain pan, do not overtighten. Over tightening fittings can split pipe connections on the drain pan.
-
- Install drain lines so they do not block service access to front of the unit. Minimum clearance of 24 inches is required for filter, coil or blower removal and service access.
- Make sure unit is level or pitched slightly toward primary drain connection so that water will drain completely from the pan. (See Fig.7-2)
- Do not reduce drain line size less than connection size provided on condensate drain pan. Use 3/4″ PVC piping for drain piping connections.
- All drain lines must be pitched downward away from the unit a minimum of 1/8″ per foot of line to ensure proper drainage.
- Do not connect condensate drain line to a closed or open sewer pipe. Run condensate to an open drain or run line to a safe outdoor area.
- The drain line should be insulated where necessary to prevent sweating and damage due to condensate forming on the outside surface of the line.
- Make provisions for disconnecting and cleaning of the primary drain line should it become necessary. Install a 3 inch trap in the primary drain line as close to the unit as possible. Make sure that the top of the trap is below connection to the drain pan to allow complete drainage of pan. (See Fig. 7-2).
- Test condensate drain pan and drain line after installation is complete. Pour water into drain pan, enough to fill drain trap and line. Check to make sure drain pan is draining completely, no leaks are found in drain line fittings, and wate is draining from the termination of the primary drain line.
- Be sure to insulate the drain piping and drain socket since condensation may cause water leakage.
- Be sure to install a drain trap at the drain outlet since the inside of the unit is at negative pressure relative to atmospheric pressure during operation.
-
AIR FILTER
(Not Factory-Installed)
- External filter or other means of filtration is required. Units should be sized for a maximum of 300 feet/min air velocity or what is recomm-ended for the type filter installed.
- Filter application and placement are critical to airflow, which may affect the heating and cooling system performance. Reduced airflow can shorten the life of the system’s major components, such as motor, limits, elements, heat relays, evaporator coil or compressor. Consequently, we recommend that the return air duct system have only one filter location. For systems with a return air filter grill or multiple filter grills, you can have a filter installed at each of the return air openings.
- If adding high efficiency filters or electronic air filtration systems, it is very important that the air flow is not reduced. If air flow is reduced the overall performance and efficiency of the unit will be reduced. It is strongly recommended that a professional installation technician is contacted to ensure installation of these such filtration systems are installed correctly.
IMPORTANT: Do not double filter the return air duct system. Do not filter the supply air duct system. This will change the performance of the unit and reduce airflow.
WARNING: Do not operate the system without filters. A portion of the dust entrained in the air may temporarily lodge in the duct and run at the supply registers. Any circulated dust particles could be heated and charred by contact with the air handler heating elements. This residue could soil ceilings, walls, drapes, carpets and other articles in the house.
Soot damage may occur with filters in place, when certain types of candles, oil lamps or standing pilots are burned.
