System Check

Pre-start Check

•  Is unit properly located, level, secure, and serviceable?
•  Has an auxiliary pan been provided under the unit 

with separate drain for units installed above a finished 

ceiling?

• 

Have all webs been carefully removed from the drain 

connections that are being used?

•  Has the condensate line been properly sized, run, 

trapped, pitched, and tested?

• 

Is  the  ductwork  correctly  sized,  run,  taped,  and 

insulated?

• 

Have all cabinet openings and wiring been sealed?

• 

Is the indoor coil metering orifice size correct?

• 

Is the filter clean, in place, and of adequate size?

• 

Has the indoor/outdoor unit application been reviewed 

for proper motor dip switch settings?

• 

Is the wiring tight, correct, and to the wiring diagram?

•  Is the unit properly grounded and protected (fused)?
• 

Is the thermostat correctly wired, level, and in a good 

location?

• 

Is the unit circuit breaker(s) rotated properly – ON up/

OFF down?

•  Are all access panels in place and secure?
Refer to outdoor unit installation instructions for system 

start-up instructions and refrigerant charging instructions.

Airflow

For proper system operation, the airflow through the indoor 

coil should be between 350 – 450 CFM per ton of cooling 

capacity.  Each  electric  furnace  is  shipped  configured 

to  provide  the  correct  airflow  for  the  maximum  tonnage 

outdoor  unit.  If  the  electric  furnace  is  to  be  used  with 

smaller tonnage outdoor equipment, the variable speed 

motor  must  be  configured  for  that  application  by  field 

changing the motor control board (refer to Table 2. Variable 

Speed Motor Application).

Electric Heater

To check the electric heater operation:

1.  Set thermostat to call for auxiliary heat (approximately 

5° F above ambient temperature). The indoor blower 

and auxiliary heat should come on together. Allow a 

minimum of 3 minutes for all sequencers to cycle on.

2. 

Set the thermostat so it does not call for heat. Allow up 

to 5 minutes for all sequencers to cycle off.
