The 48A Series units have a large number of factory-
installed options which were previously available only as
accessories. Some of the available options can also be installed
in the field if needed. In most cases the units have been
pre-wired so that the accessories can be easily installed.
Instructions are shipped with each accessory. Configuration of
the controls for these accessories as well as the factory-installed
options can be found in the Controls, Start-up, Operation,
Service and Troubleshooting book. The following is a list of
some of the common accessories:
