OPERATING & MAINTENANCE MANUAL
–
PACKAGED TERMINAL AIR CONDITIONER (PTAC) – RSAN
Do NOT operate the equipment when in doubt –
have it inspected first!
IMPORTANT NOTE:
It is not the intent of this
maintenance manual to correct any installation
deficiencies. If you have any doubt about the proper
initial installation (or reinstallation after servicing)
of your PTAC unit(s)– noisy or inefficient unit operation,
frayed or damaged electrical connections, improper
unit appearance, etc. – please contact a trained
servicer or building maintenance staff immediately.
THE FOLLOWING PHYSICAL CONDITIONS
MUST BE MAINTAINED FOR PROPER UNIT
OPERATION:
Unobstructed air flow into and out of the unit room
enclosure (cabinet). Therefore:
•
Do not place furniture, rugs or objects directly in
front of, underneath or against the unit cabinet
front.
•
Do not place plants, fabrics or objects on top of
or blocking the enclosure discharge grille (at the
cabinet top).
•
Do not block the top of the cabinet with drapes
or curtains. To ensure proper cooling and heating,
drapes and curtains should be opened or
positioned so that the air discharge from the unit
does not flow behind these window treatments.
•
Have the unit filter properly cleaned and serviced
to prevent air blockage from dirt and dust within
the filter media.
Proper installation and operating environment must
be maintained. Therefore:
•
Do not operate the unit in corrosive
environments such as chemical plants,
refineries or salt spray areas.
•
Operate only with proper electrical service and
protective circuit breakers or fuses in place.
•
Operate only with all chassis and enclosure
sheet metal parts in place and properly installed.
•
In areas of high concentrations of dirt, dust, pet
dander or pollutants, clean the filter often (at
least monthly). If these or similar pollutants are
present outdoors, have the unit condenser coil
cleaned by trained service personnel.
•
Do not clean the unit with any solvents or
cleaning solutions that may damage the
equipment (see maintenance instructions for
proper cleaning protocols).
•
Understand and follow the unit operating
instructions below before using your PTAC
equipment.
•
Operate only with proper electrical service and
protective circuit breakers or fuses in place.
•
Operate only with all chassis and enclosure
sheet metal parts in place and properly installed.
