3.1 Checking Product Received

3.2 Application

There are several factors that the installers must consider:

•  Outdoor unit location 

•  Proper equipment evacuation

•  System refrigerant charge  

•  Indoor unit airflow

•  Indoor unit blower speed   

•  Supply and return air duct design and sizing  

•  System air balancing 

•  Diffuser and return air grille location and sizing

3.0: GENERAL

The  information  contained  in  this  manual  has  been  prepared  to  assist  in  the  proper installation, 
operation  and  maintenance  of  the  air conditioning  system.  Improper installation, or installation 
not made in accordance with these  instructions, can result in  unsatisfactory  operation  and/or 
dangerous conditions, and can cause the related warranty not to apply.

Read this manual and any instructions packaged with separate  equipment required to make up the 
system prior to installation. Retain this manual for future reference.

To achieve optimum efficiency and capacity, the indoor cooling coils listed in the condensing unit 
specification sheet should be used.

IMPORTANT:

 We  recommend  replacement  of  any  HVAC  equipment  that  has  been subjected to 

flooding in order to avoid any risk of injury or harm. 

IMPORTANT: 

Use all available safety precautions during the installation and servicing of any HVAC 

equipment. 

The Estimated Annual Energy Consumption of this product is calculated using the following formula:

Upon  receiving  unit,  inspect  it  for  any  shipping  damage.  Claims  for  damage,  either apparent  or 
concealed,  should  be  filed  immediately with  the  shipping  company. Check  condensing  unit 
model  number,  electrical  characteristics and  accessories  to determine  if  they  are  correct  and 
match  the  original  order from  the  local  distributor.Check  system  components  (evaporator  coil, 
condensing  unit,  evaporator  blower, etc.) to make sure they are properly matched.   

Before installing any air conditioning equipment, a duct analysis of the structure and a heat gain 
calculation must be made. A heat gain calculation begins by measuring all external surfaces and 
openings that gain heat from the surrounding air and quantifying that heat gain. A heat gain calcula-
tion  also calculates the extra heat load caused by sunlight and by humidity removal.
 

Estimated Annual Energy Consumption = Rated Power (kW) at T1 conditions multi plied by 2700 
working hours.
