B. Alternate Unit Support

When the curb or adapter cannot be used, support unit with sleepers using unit curb or adapter support area. If sleepers cannot be used, support long sides of unit with a minimum of three 4-in. x 4-in. pads, two at the corners and one at the unit’s center of gravity. If more than 3 pads are used, equally space them along the side.

C. Slab Mount (Horizontal Units Only)

Provide a level concrete slab that extends a minimum of 6 in. beyond unit cabinet. Install a 6-in. gravel apron in front of condenser coil air inlet to prevent grass and foliage from obstructing airflow.

NOTE: Horizontal units may be installed on a roof curb if required.

II. STEP 2 — FIELD FABRICATE DUCTWORK

Secure all ducts to roof curb and building structure on verti- cal units. Do not connect ductwork to unit. For horizontal applications, field-supplied flanges should be attached to horizontal discharge openings and all ductwork secured to the flanges. Insulate and weatherproof all external duct- work, joints, and roof openings with counter flashing and mastic in accordance with applicable codes.

Ducts passing through an unconditioned space must be insu- lated and covered with a vapor barrier.

If a plenum return is used on a vertical unit, the return should be ducted through the roof deck to comply with appli- cable fire codes.

A minimum clearance is not required around ductwork. Cab- inet return-air static shall not exceed –.30 in. wg with EconoMi$er+ or .45 in. wg without economizer.

These units are designed for a minimum heating operation continuous return-air temperature of 50 F (dry bulb), or an intermittent operation down to 45 F (dry bulb), such as when used with a night set-back thermostat.

To operate at lower return air temperatures, a field-supplied outdoor-air temperature control must be used to initiate both stages of heat when the temperature is below 45 F. Indoor

comfort may be compromised when these lower air tempera- tures are used with insufficient heating temperature rise.

III.STEP 3 — INSTALL EXTERNAL TRAP FOR CONDEN- SATE DRAIN

The unit’s 3/4-in. condensate drain connections are located on the bottom and side of the unit. Unit discharge connections do not determine the use of drain connections; either drain connection can be used with vertical or horizontal applications.

When using the standard side drain connection, make sure the plug (Red) in the alternate bottom connection is tight before installing the unit.

To use the bottom drain connection for a roof curb installa- tion, relocate the factory-installed plug (Red) from the bottom connection to the side connection. See Fig. 5A. The piping for the condensate drain and external trap can be completed after the unit is in place.

All units must have an external trap for condensate drain- age. Install a trap a minimum of 4-in. deep and protect against freeze-up. If drain line is installed downstream from the external trap, pitch the line away from the unit at 1 in. per 10 ft of run. Do not use a pipe size smaller than the unit connection (3/4 in.). See Fig. 5B.

The center drain plug looks like a star connection, however it can be removed with a 1/2 in. socket drive extension.

IV. STEP 4 — RIG AND PLACE UNIT

Inspect unit for transportation damage. File any claim with transportation agency. Keep unit upright and do not drop. Spreader bars are not required if top crating is left on unit. Rollers may be used to move unit across a roof. Level by using unit frame as a reference. See Tables 1A and 1B and Fig. 6 for additional information. Operating weight is shown in Table 1 and Fig. 6.

Lifting holes are provided in base rails as shown in Fig. 1 and 6. Refer to rigging instructions on unit.

CAUTION: All panels must be in place when rig- ging and lifting.
