SECTION I: GENERAL

The AHR single piece air handler series provides the flexibility for instal-
lation in any position. This unit may be used for upflow, downflow, hori-
zontal right, or horizontal left applications.
These units may be located in a closet, utility room, attic, crawl space,
or basement. These versatile models may be used for cooling or heat
pump operation with or without electric heat.
Top and side power wiring and control wiring, accessible screw termi-
nals for control wiring, easy to install drain connections, and electric
heaters all combine to make the installation easy and minimize installa-
tion cost.
Electric heat kits are available as field installed accessories. Single
phase and 3 phase kits are available and range from nominal 2.5 kW to
25 kW sizes.
A Brand Label (available from Distribution) may be applied to the center
of the blower access panel.

SECTION II: SAFETY

This is a safety alert symbol. When you see this symbol on
labels or in manuals, be alert to the potential for personal
injury.

Understand and pay particular attention to the signal words 

DANGER
