Sound Attenuation Pad

Installation

Sound Attenuation Pad

For sound sensitive installations, a vi- bration pad (field provided) should be placed beneath the horizontal or verti- cal equipment. For the horizontal unit, the pad should be approximately twice the size of the unit foot print. For the vertical unit, the pad should be 1/2" (12.7 mm) thick, and equal to the over- all unit foot print.

Hanging the Horizontal Unit

To hang the horizontal configuration:

(1)Install the hanging isolators (locat- ed in the return-air section of the unit) into the four hanging brackets.

(2)Secure the equipment to a joist, concrete, etc. with the use of 3/8"

(9.7 mm) field provided (all-thread) rod. Each corner should contain field provided nuts and washers to com- plete the hanging installation.

(3)Unit slope or pitch should conform to national and local codes. This is the responsibility of the contractor.

Condensate Drain Connection Install proper trapping to the equip- ment. The unit drain connection is 3/4" (19 mm) for all GEH and GEV models.

When designing the condensate trap for the water-source system, it’s im- portant to consider the unit’s draw- thru design requiring negative pres- sure trapping.

In a properly trapped system, when condensate forms during normal operation, the water level in the trap rises until there is a constant flow. It is imperative to maintain water in the trap and not allow the trap to dry out dur- ing heating season. Keeping trap primed at all times will enable the water to flow properly. See Figure 6 for appropriate dimensions required in a negative pressure system.

Hanging the Horizontal Unit WARNING

Improper Unit Lift!

Test lift unit approximately 24 inches to verify proper center of gravity lift point. To avoid drop- ping of unit, reposition lifting point if unit is not level. Failure to properly lift unit could result in death or serious injury or possible equipment or prop- erty-only damage.
