	Our commitment to quality is demonstrated by the APC industry-leading
	two-year parts warranty.
Capacity	Available are 6 through 28 nominal tons (20 kW–96 kW) in nine models and
	3 cabinet designs.
Air pattern	Downflow units discharge air into the raised floor plenum eliminating the
	need for air distributing ductwork. This enables the owner to locate the unit
	where space is available or relocate the unit as the room changes or expands.
	These units are suitable for areas with raised floors greater than 12" (305
	mm) high. Air is drawn in through the top of the unit. Downflow units also
	include a static regain duct which increases performance and efficiency while
	reducing noise level.
	Upflow units discharge air into either a plenum or ductwork. These units are
	suitable for areas with raised floors less than 12" (300 mm) high. Air is drawn
	in through the front on the standard design or optionally from the rear of the
	unit.
Control	The microprocessor controller provides advanced integrated system
	operation and management ensuring simple, reliable and precise temperature
	and humidity control.
