RC/RH45 REPLACEMENT PTAC
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Take unit out of packaging.
2. Slide unit into wall sleeve. If supply duct on cooling chas-
sis does not line up with supply vent on room cabinet it
is possible that factory installed angle brackets on the
top and sides will have to be reversed. This will allow
approximately 1” in or out of the wall sleeve. ( S e e
Figures A7 & B7)
3. Slide unit out of wallsleeve and install baffles on the
condenser side.
4. Remove baffles from kit bag supplied with unit.
IMPORTANT: The correct condenser air baffles must be
installed or performances may be impaired and/or the
warranty will be voided.
5. Baffle Installation - Install left and right side baffles on
the condenser coil in existing holes:
• Choose the proper fitting baffles for your application.
• Baffles must come in contact with the outdoor lou-
ver.
• Make sure baffles are directed inward toward the
center of coil.
• Secure baffles tightly to the condenser coil using the
screws provided. (Figures A7, B7 & C7 )

6. Apply 1/2” x 1/2” open cell foam strips around supply
air duct to ensure that all the conditioned air is delivered
into the room. Failure to do so results in recirculation
of the conditioned air around the wall sleeve and
through the unit causing the unit to short cycle, thus
raising operating costs through improper heating and
cooling. (Figure C7)
