DURABLE, DEPENDABLE CONSTRUCTION — Designed for durability in any climate, the weather-resistant cabinets are con- structed of galvanized steel and bonderized, and all exterior panels are coated with a prepainted baked enamel finish. The paint finish is non-chalking, and is capable of withstanding ASTM B117 500-hour Salt Spray Test. All internal cabinet pan- els are primed, permitting longer life and a more attractive appearance for the entire unit.

In addition, all size 036-120 units are designed with a single, continuous top piece to eliminate any possible leaks. Totally enclosed condenser-fan motors and permanently lubricated bearings provide additional unit dependability.

Patented State-of-the-Art Chronotemp™ Defrost System uses time and temperature to keep the outdoor coil frost-free for economical, dependable operation. The Chronotemp defrost board can be easily configured for defrost cycles every 30, 50, or 90 minutes.

Dependable 4-Way Valve Operation safely and efficiently accomplishes cycle reversals, defrost, and normal operation.

EASY INSTALLATION AND CONVERSION

All Units are Shipped in the Vertical Duct Configuration for fit-up to standard roof curbs. (3 different curb sizes fit unit sizes 036-072,090-120, 150 and 180 respectively.) The contractor can order and install the roof curb early in the construction stage, before decisions on size requirements are made.

All units feature a base rail design with forklift slots and rigging holes for easier maneuvering. Durable packaging protects all units during shipment and storage.

The units can be easily converted from a vertical to a horizontal duct configuration by relocating the panels supplied with the unit.

To Convert 036-120 Units from vertical to horizontal discharge, simply relocate 2 panels. The same basic unit can be used for a variety of applications and can be quickly modified at the jobsite.

To Convert 150,180 Units from vertical to horizontal discharge, use the optional horizontal supply/return adapter roof curb.

Convenient Duct Openings in the unit basepans permit side- by-side or concentric duct connections (see Application Data section) without requiring internal unit modification (150,180 only).

NOTE: On units using horizontal supply and return, the acces- sory barometric relief or power exhaust MUST be installed on the return ductwork.

Thru-the-bottom service connection capability comes standard with the rooftop unit to allow power and control wiring to be routed through the unit’s basepan, thereby minimizing roof pen- etrations (to prevent water leaks). Power and control connec- tions are made on the same side of the unit to simplify installation.

The Non-Corrosive Sloped Condensate Drain Pan permits either an external horizontal side condensate drain (outside the roof curb) or an internal vertical bottom drain (inside the roof curb). Both options require an external, field-suppliedP-trap.

Standard 2-in. Throwaway Filters are easily accessed through a removable panel located above the air intake hood. No tools are required to change unit filters.

All 036-120 Units are Designed with a Single, Continuous Top Piece to eliminate leaking at the seams or gasketing.

Belt-Driven Indoor-Fan Motors allow maximum on-site flexibil- ity without changing motors or drives.

Field-Installed Accessory Electric heaters are available in a wide range of capacities. An available single-point wiring kit makes installation simple.

Low Voltage Wiring Connections are easily made due to the large terminal board which is located for quick, convenient access.

In addition, color-coded wires permit easy tracing and diagnostics.

PROVEN COMPRESSOR RELIABILITY

Design techniques feature computer-programmed balance between compressor, condenser, and evaporator. Bryant- specified hermetic compressors are equipped with compressor overcurrent and overtemperature protection to ensure dependability.

All units have a fixed-orifice (036-120) or TXV metering device (150,180) which precisely controls refrigerant flow, pre- venting slugging and flood-back, while maintaining optimum unit performance. Refrigerant filter driers are standard.

Standard Low Ambient Cooling Operation to 25 F (036-120) or 40 F (150,180); optional head pressure control kit available for outdoor ambient conditions to –20 F.

549B, 548F, 542J specifications

Bryant 542J is a high-efficiency gas furnace that stands out for its reliability and advanced heating technologies. Designed to deliver consistent warmth and comfort in residential settings, it combines innovative engineering with energy-efficient features.

One of the key characteristics of the Bryant 542J is its two-stage heating capability. This means that the furnace can adjust its heat output according to the heating demands of your home. During milder weather, it operates at a lower stage, consuming less energy while still maintaining a comfortable environment. When the temperatures drop, the furnace shifts to its higher capacity, providing the necessary warmth efficiently. This not only enhances comfort but also contributes to lower energy bills.

In addition to its two-stage operation, the Bryant 542J also incorporates a variable-speed blower motor. This technology allows the furnace to adjust the airflow depending on the heating requirements, ensuring an even distribution of warm air throughout the home. The variable-speed blower also operates more quietly than conventional fixed-speed motors, creating a serene indoor environment.

Energy efficiency is a hallmark of the Bryant 542J, boasting an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of up to 96.5%. This impressive rating means that a significant portion of the energy consumed is effectively converted into usable heat, resulting in substantial savings on heating costs over time. Furthermore, the furnace is equipped with a sealed combustion system that draws air from outside the home, minimizing energy waste and improving indoor air quality.

Diagnostic features are another highlight of the Bryant 542J, which come equipped with SmartEvap technology. This allows the unit to self-diagnose potential issues, providing homeowners with peace of mind and simplifying maintenance procedures.

Durability is also a key feature of the Bryant 542J. It is constructed with high-quality materials designed to withstand harsh winter conditions, ensuring a long lifespan and reliable performance. Its compact design also allows for flexible installation, making it suitable for various residential layouts.

In summary, the Bryant 542J is more than just a gas furnace; it is a sophisticated heating solution that combines efficiency, comfort, and reliability. With features such as two-stage heating, a variable-speed blower, high AFUE ratings, and advanced diagnostics, it is an excellent choice for homeowners seeking an efficient and effective heating system.
