Pre-Installation Requirements
Preparing the Unit Site
•
Ensure the installation site can support the total weight of the unit (see
“Unit
Dimensions and Weights” section on page 15
for approximate section weights; refer
to the unit submittals for actual weights).
•
Allow sufficient space for adequate free air and necessary service access (see
“Service Clearances” on page 15
). Refer to submittals for specific minimums.
•
Allow room for supply and return piping, ductwork, electrical connections, and coil
removal.
•
Ensure there is adequate height for condensate drain requirements. See
“Drain Pan
Trapping” on page 50
.
Note: If unit is installed in a mechanical room on a pad, inadequate height may
necessitate core-drilling the floor to attain proper trap height. Insufficient height
could inhibit condensate drainage and result in flooding the unit and/or equipment
room.
CAUTION
Microbial Growth!
The roof curb or foundation must be level and the condensate drain at the proper
height for proper coil drainage and condensate flow. Standing water and wet surfaces
inside the equipment can become an amplification site for microbial growth (mold),
which may cause odors and damage to the equipment and building materials.
•
Confirm the roof curb or foundation of the mounting platform is level and large
enough to accommodate the unit. Refer to the unit submittals for specific dimensions.
•
Provide adequate lighting for maintenance personnel to perform maintenance
duties.
•
Provide permanent power outlets in close proximity to the unit for installation and
maintenance.
•
Depending upon job requirements, the customer may need to provide 120 Vac power
to the unit controller. Refer to submittals for more information. A dedicated 15-amp
circuit is recommended.
•
Wiring for T-Series units must be provided by the installer and must comply with all
national and local electrical codes.
•
Rooftop curb mounted units must be sealed tightly to the curb. Use proper sealants
and roof to curb sealing techniques to prevent water and air leakage. Refer to T-Series
roof curb installation manual CLCH-IN-18.
Note: Preparation of the roof curb or pier mount and roof openings should be completed
prior to lifting the unit to the roof.
