General Information

Vision

TM

 air handlers are not designed to be weather resistant. 

Do not install them outdoors. 

The system design and installation must follow accepted industry 
practice as described in the ASHRAE Handbook, the National 
Electric Code, and other applicable standards. This equipment 
must be installed in accordance with regulations of authorities 
having jurisdiction and all

 

applicable codes. 

Installation and maintenance must be performed by qualified 
personnel familiar with applicable codes and regulations and 
experienced with this type of equipment. Sheet metal parts, 
self

-

tapping screws, clips, and such items inherently have sharp 

edges; the installer should exercise caution.

Receiving and Handling

1

Carefully check items against the bills of lading to verify 
all crates and cartons have been received. Carefully inspect 
all units for shipping damage. Report damage immediately 
to the carrier and file a claim.

2

Vision air handler units are constructed of galvanized or 
painted steel and are inspected thoroughly before leaving 
the factory. Take care during installation to prevent 
damage to units.

3

Take special care when handling the blower section. All 
fans are dynamically balanced before leaving the factory. 
Rough handling can cause misalignment or a damaged 
bearings or shaft. Carefully inspect fans and shaft before 
unit installation to verify this has not happened.

4

Handle the zone damper of the multi-zone units with 
special care. Zone dampers are set and inspected before 
leaving the factory, but should be checked on arrival to the 
job to verify the bell arm and connecting rod set screws did 
not become loose in shipment.

Screws, bolts, etc., for assembling sections are supplied in a 
bag attached to each section. All necessary gasketing is 
applied in the factory for section-to-section mounting. 

Unit Storage

Store unit on a level surface. If air handling units are stored 
for any period of time, periodically rotate the fan wheel to 
prevent permanent distortion of drive components. In 
addition, grease may settle in the lower part of the bearing, 
which can lead to oxidation on the upper portion of the 
bearing surface. Keep the fan bearings lubricated.

Nomenclature

CAUTION

 SHARP EDGES AND COIL SURFACES

are a potential injury hazard. Avoid contact with them.

ATTENTION

Les bords tranchants et les surfaces des bobines sont un 

risque de blessure. Ne les touchez pas.
