REQUIREMENTS
The air conditioner is designed so that it is adaptable to a variety of installation arrangements. Most typical
installations are made by preparing an opening in an exterior wall of the room or enclosure to be conditioned and
positioning the air conditioner so that the front of the cabinet is inside the room or enclosure and the back of the
cabinet is outside. Alternate installations maybe made with the entire cabinet either inside or outside the
conditioned area. The following are minimum requirements for all installations:
A relatively level surface capable of bearing the weight of the air conditioner on which to set the base. To
a.
insure proper condensate drainage, the surface should be level within 50 from front to back and side to
side. See fig. 4-1, Sheets 1, 2 and 3 for mounting dimensions.
b. An unobstructed flow of air from outside the conditioned area to the intake and discharge of the
condenser fan (back face of air conditioner).
An unobstructed flow of air from inside the conditioned area to the conditioned air supply and discharge
c.
openings (front face of air conditioner).
d. An unobstructed flow of air from outside the conditioned area to the fresh air intake (back face of air
conditioner).
e. Access to the front and back of the air conditioner for routine operation and servicing and for necessary
maintenance actions.
f.
Access to and sufficient headroom to allow removal of the front and rear top panels is necessary, if the unit
is to be serviced when installed.
A source of 208 volt, 3 phase, 50/60 hertz input power rated at 10.0 amps for the F9000H-3SA or a
g.
source of 115 volt, single phase, 50/60 hertz input power rated at 19.4 amps for the F9000H-1SA. The
power source outlet should be located as near as possible to the installed location of the air conditioner.
The power source wiring must include a disconnect switch. Provisions should be made to insure that
power is not disconnected during normal operation and that the disconnect is not used to turn off the air
conditioner for normal shutdown.
h.
Check that no source of dangerous or objectionable fumes are near the fresh air intake.
i.
If possible make use of terrain features such as trees and buildings to provide a shaded location. This
minimizes the cooling load on the refrigeration system.
If possible avoid a location where the condenser and fresh air intakes will be laden with dust, dirt, soot,
j.
smoke or other debris.
