Field Conversion of Air Discharge

Overview - Horizontal units can be field converted between side (straight) and back (end) discharge using the instructions below.

Note: It is not possible to field convert return air between left or right return models due to the necessity of refrigeration copper piping changes.

Preparation - It is best to field convert the unit on the ground before hanging. If the unit is already hung it should be taken down for the field conversion.

Side to Back Discharge Conversion

1. Place unit in well lit area. Remove the screws as shown in

Figure 4 to free top panel and discharge panel.

2.	Lift out the access panel and set aside. Lift and rotate the
	discharge panel to the other position as shown, being careful
	with the blower wiring.
3.	Check blower wire routing and connections for tension or
	contact with sheet metal edges. Reroute if necessary.
4.	Check refrigerant tubing for contact with
	other components.
5.	Reinstall top panel and screws noting that the location for
	some screws will have changed.
6.	Manually spin the fan wheel to ensure that the wheel is not
	rubbing or obstructed.

Back to Side Discharge Conversion - If the discharge is changed from back to side, use above instruction noting that illustrations will be reversed.

Left vs. Right Return - It is not possible to field convert return air between left or right return models due to the necessity of refrigera- tion copper piping changes. However, the conversion process of side to back or back to side discharge for either right or left return configuration is the same. In some cases, it may be possible to rotate the entire unit 180 degrees if the return air connection needs
