Summary

Important Safety Instructions

High Voltage Safety Precautions

Disconnect all power before servicing. Multiple power sources may be present. Risk of injury or death.

Electrical Grounding Requirements

Unit must have an uninterrupted electrical ground per NEC/CSA codes to prevent shock, injury, or death.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard

Risk in enclosed areas with CO devices. Requires adequate ventilation to prevent illness or death.

Protective Gear and Site Requirements

Recommend safety clothing during installation/servicing. Observe site-specific safety requirements.

Approved Device Usage and Risks

Use only manufacturer-approved devices. Non-approved devices risk damage, poor performance, or hazards.

Combustible Material Storage Warning

Do not store flammable liquids or vapors near the unit to prevent damage, injury, or death.

Product Identification and Description

Model Series and Cooling Capacity

Identifies unit model (DAX) and nominal cooling capacity (e.g., 7.5 Ton, 10 Ton).

Unit Inspection and Verification

Inspect unit for damage upon delivery. Verify model and voltage against requirements.

Product Overview and Compatibility

System complies with ASHRAE 90.1-2019 when matched with specific condensers. Requires 24 VAC thermostat.

Technical Specifications Summary

Details weight, refrigerant, blower, coil material, line sizes, and metering device.

Codes, Regulations, and Parts

Installation must comply with codes. Order replacement parts using model/serial numbers.

Pre-Installation and Location Guidelines

Installation Preparation Steps

Read all instructions, understand procedures, and gather necessary tools and supplies before starting.

Indoor Installation Location Requirements

Unit is for indoor use only. Ensure proper ventilation and adequate service clearance.

Ductwork System Design Considerations

Size ductwork for airflow (375-425 CFM/ton) and limit external static pressure to 0.5" WC.

Supply and Return Ductwork

Attach supply ductwork flanges. Do not introduce fumes into return ductwork.

Return Air Filter Installation

Install filters and replace them frequently for optimal performance. Filter sizes are listed.

Electrical Requirements and Connections

Electric Heat Kit Options and Specs

AHKD series kits are accessories. Lists models, KW, voltage, phase, and stages.

Voltage Correction Factors for Heat Kits

Tables provide correction factors for various voltages to adjust KW or temperature rise.

Heating Temperature Rise Tables

Show temperature rise based on KW, CFM, and voltage for DAX0904 and DAX1204.

Supply Wire and MOP Guidelines

Use copper conductors. Follow wire sizing and MOP requirements. High voltage warnings apply.

Building Electrical Service Requirements

Supply Voltage and Phase

Requires 3-phase power. Supply voltage must match unit nameplate and be within range.

Voltage Balance Calculation

Formula to calculate voltage unbalance (phase to phase), which must be within 2%.

Wire Sizing and Voltage Drop

Select wire size for MCA and 2% voltage drop. Maximum allowable length table provided.

Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP)

Install NEC/CEC approved overcurrent protection sized for MCA but not exceeding MOP.

Electrical Connections Details

Supply Voltage Wiring Procedures

Use copper conductors. Connect to control box single point termination as per diagram.

Air Handler Only Wiring Diagram

Shows supply voltage hook-up for units without a heat kit, using conduit to unit knockout.

Heater Kit Wiring and Connections

Connects supply voltage to heater kit terminal block and low voltage via multi-pin plug.

Low Voltage Control Wiring

24V control connects air handler to thermostat/condenser. Use minimum 18AWG copper wire.

Heat Kit Installation and Nameplate Check

Inspect heat kit for damage and verify model, size, and electrical specs on the nameplate.

Refrigerant Line Installation

Heat Shield for Brazing

Use heat shield or wet rags to protect unit finish and sensitive components during brazing.

Tubing Preparation and Post-Brazing

Ensure clean, burr-free ends. Quench welded joints with water or a wet rag.

Piping Size Specification

Follow condenser/heat pump specifications for correct suction and liquid line tubing sizes.

Single and Multiple Condenser Piping

Manifold lines for single condenser. Specific procedures shown for two outdoor units.

Evaporator Coil TXV and Airflow

Evaporator Coil TXV Bulb Placement

Attach TXV bulb to suction line after brazing, typically at 10 or 2 o'clock position.

Blower Speed Settings (Torque Taps)

Unit has 5 speed settings (T1-T5). Select speed based on installation requirements.

Speed Tap Descriptions and Changes

Lists descriptions for each speed tap. Change settings by moving wires to desired tap.

Regular Maintenance and Service

User Maintenance: Air Filter

The only user-maintained item is the air filter. Clean or replace regularly.

Certified Technician Service Tasks

Technicians should check filters, clean coils, inspect ducts, check refrigerant charge and leaks.
