RETURN AIR ARRANGEMENT (SIZES 09K-48K ONLY)
Based on the return air conditions in the field, the factory 
configured rear return arrangement of the unit may be modified 
to allow bottom return.
To modify:
1. Remove the Air Inlet Flange/filter rack and ventilation panel.
Fig. 19 — Remove the Air Inlet Flange
2. Install the seal on the bottom inlet.
3. Swap the position to change the rear return to a bottom return
arrangement installing the Air Inlet flange and the filters.

4. Install the filter brackets to lock the filter in place.

Return Temperature Sensor
 - A button sensor (
p/n 
40VM900009 - sold separately)
 may be used for situations where 
a indoor ducted unit is reading an inaccurate room temperature 
due to installation factors. The button sensor kit has a length of 
66ft (20m). Replace the factory T1 sensor, which can be found 
inside the indoor unit. The sensor may be installed on the wall or 
ceiling. Airflow must be considered for accurate sampling.

NOTE: A temperature compensation correction may be 
necessary depending on the installation location of the unit. 
Consult the wireless remote controller’s service manual for 
advanced steps on temperature compensation.
Step 3 - Installing Ductwork
Connect the return and supply air ducts to the ducts over the 
outside flanges provided on the unit. Secure the canvas tie to 
the indoor unit's flange, using the proper fasteners for the type 
of duct used and the seal duct-to-unit joint. Use canvas duct 
(flexible connectors) between the ductwork and the unit to 
prevent transmission of vibration. 
Maintain an adequate distance between the return and supply 
diffusers to avoid short circulation of air within the space. The 
filter is located on the return side of the unit, on the rear or 
bottom depending on the return air inlet arrangement.

OUTSIDE AIR CONNECTION
If needed, a knockout for the outside air duct connection is 
located on the side of the unit downstream of the air filter. 
Follow the recommendation to field supply and field install a 
booster fan on the duct work used for outside air. A relay to 
energize a booster fan may be powered by the connection on 
the PCB board CN43. This connection is 230 volt AC and 
rated for 200 watts. 
NOTE: The manufacturer recommends NOT powering the fan 
motor by this circuit. 
The output of the NEW FAN (CN43) is powered 
ON
 while the 
indoor fan is active.
NOTE: The amount of outside air is dependent upon different 
factors such as the booster fan, outside air duct work type and 
length, static pressure, etc. Refer to the local IAQ 
specifications for the outdoor air quantities and control.
