Installation Instructions, Wall Mounting Information

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WALL MOUNTING INFORMATION

1.Two holes, for the supply and return air openings, must be cut through the wall as shown in Figure 3.

2.On wood-frame walls, the wall construction must be strong and rigid enough to carry the weight of the unit without transmitting any unit vibration.

WARNING

Fire hazard can result if 1/4 inch clearance to combustible materials for supply air duct is not maintained. See Figure 3.

3.Concrete block walls must be thoroughly inspected to insure that they are capable of carrying the weight of the installing unit.

MOUNTING THE UNIT

1.These units are secured by wall mounting brackets which secure the unit to the outside wall surface at both sides. A bottom mounting bracket is provided for ease of installation, but is not required.

2.The unit itself is suitable for “0” inch clearance, but the supply air duct flange and the first 3 feet of supply air duct require a minimum of 1/4 inch clearance to combustible material. If a combustible wall, use a minimum of 28-1/2" x 8-1/2" dimensions for sizing. However, it is generally recommended that a 1 inch clearance is used for ease of installation and maintaining the required clearance to combustible material. The supply air opening would then be 30" x 10". See Figures 3 and 4 for details.

WARNING

Failure to provide the 1/4 inch clearance between the supply duct and a combustible surface for the first 3 feet of duct can result in fire.

3.Locate and mark lag bolt locations and bottom mounting bracket location. See Figure 3.

4.Mount bottom mounting bracket, if used.

5.Hook top rain flashing under back bend of top. Top rain flashing is shipped secured to the right side of the back.

6.Position unit in opening and secure with 5/16 lag bolts; use 7/8 inch diameter flat washers on the lag bolts.

7.Secure rain flashing to wall and caulk across entire length of top. See Figure 3.

8.For additional mounting rigidity, the return air and supply air frames or collars can be drilled and screwed or welded to the structural wall itself (depending upon wall construction). Be sure to observe required clearance if combustible wall.

9.On side by side installations, maintain a minimum of 20 inches clearance on right side to allow access to heat strips and control panel and to allow proper airflow to the outdoor coil. Additional clearance may be required to meet local or national codes.

TOP OUTLET ONLY

1.Remove airframe angles from the back of the unit.

2.Coat angles with two 1/8" beads of silicone as shown. Silicone is shipped in the control panel. See Figure 6.

3.Secure angles to the top of the unit with 14 screws provided. Use of prepunched holes provided. Do not relocate. See Figure 6.

4.After installation duct work, seal around airframe and duct work to provide a rain tight seal.

5.It is strongly recommended, but not required, that this unit be installed under a soffit area large enough to shield the top of the unit. See Figure 7.

WIRING — MAIN POWER

Refer to the unit rating plate for wire sizing information and maximum fuse or “HACR Type” circuit breaker size. Each outdoor unit is marked with a “Minimum Circuit Ampacity”. This means that the field wiring used must be sized to carry that amount of current. Depending on the installed KW of electric heat, there may be two field power circuits required. If this is the case, the unit serial plate will so indicate. All models are suitable only for connection with copper wire. Each unit and/or wiring diagram will be marked “Use Copper Conductors Only”. These instructions must be adhered to. Refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC) for complete current carrying capacity data on the various insulation grades of wiring material. All wiring must conform to NEC and all local codes.

WA301, WA361 specifications

The Bard WA361 and WA301 are two advanced wall-mounted air conditioning systems designed for commercial and residential use. These units are engineered to provide efficient cooling and heating while optimizing energy consumption.

One of the standout features of the Bard WA361 and WA301 models is their compact design. This allows for easy installation in various spaces where traditional floor-mounted units may not fit. Ideal for areas such as classrooms, offices, or small retail locations, these units can be mounted high on the wall, freeing up valuable floor space.

Both models leverage Bard’s advanced heat pump technology. This technology allows for reverse-cycle functionality, meaning they can provide both cooling in summer and heating in winter. The WA361 model offers a heating capacity of up to 36,000 BTUs while the WA301 provides a slightly lower capacity of 30,000 BTUs, making them suitable for different size requirements.

Energy efficiency is prioritized in these models. They come equipped with high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratings (SEER), which ensures lower electric bills and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, the units have been designed to operate quietly, maximizing comfort without the disruptive noise often associated with HVAC systems.

Another notable characteristic is the advanced control system. The Bard WA361 and WA301 feature programmable thermostats that allow users to set specific comfort levels according to their schedules. This not only enhances user control but also boosts energy-saving potential.

Moreover, both models are built with durable materials to ensure longevity and reliability. Their internal components are engineered to withstand harsh conditions, making them a preferred choice for various settings, including industrial environments.

Bard emphasizes ease of maintenance in the design of these units. The filters are easily accessible and can be replaced or cleaned with minimal effort. This feature significantly extends the lifespan of the unit and ensures that it operates at peak performance.

In summary, the Bard WA361 and WA301 air conditioning units represent a blend of innovative technology and practical design. Their energy-efficient operation, compact installation capability, and advanced heating and cooling functions make them exemplary solutions for those seeking reliable comfort control in diverse applications. Whether for small businesses or residential spaces, these units aim to deliver exceptional performance with a focus on sustainability and efficiency.
