Electrical Code (NEC) for special installation requirements.
2.1 Installation Checklist
As a precaution, review the following checklist to ensure proper operation:
• Check for any damage
• Check all wiring connections
• Filters are properly positioned in air intake
WARNING: Before removing from the packaging inspect the unit for any damage. Report
any damage to the carrier and le a damage claim.
2.2 Room Considerations
Precision air conditioning equipment is designed to control spaces within close tolerances of temperature
and humidity. However, the room must be built with a proper vapor barrier. A lm of polyethylene is
often used on walls and ceilings. Walls and oors must also be painted with vapor-seal paint. Failure
to provide a vapor barrier can compromise space conditions.
Introduction of outside air into the space should be minimized. Outside air in excess of 5% of the total
circulated air volume can have a signicant eect on the overall space conditions and result in poor
space control.
2.3 Equipment Handling
WARNING: Only properly trained personnel wearing appropriate safety headgear,
gloves, shoes and glasses should attempt to move the unit, lift it, remove packaging or
prepare the unit for installation.
Move the unit in its upright position to the installation site using a forklift or pallet jack. It is recommended
that the unit be protected from damage to the decorative doors during any storage or moving.
Keep tines of the forklift level and at a height suitable to t below the skid and/or unit to prevent exterior
and/or underside damage. Make sure the forks are spread to their widest allowable width for proper
balance. Do not lift the unit any higher than 4 inches o the ground. If necessary to lift higher than the
suggested 4 inches (100mm), exercise great care to ensure proper handling of the unit.
Personnel not involved with the lifting of the unit should keep a safe distance from the unit.
The unit may be too tall to t through a doorway while on the skid. Measure the unit and doorway
heights and refer to the installation plans to verify clearances prior to moving the unit.
WARNING: Use care when moving. Improper handling could result in injury. Proper
care should be taken when uncrating the unit. The packaging has wrapping bands with
sharp edges that are under tension, crating has staples and splinters. Proper protective
equipment should be worn by qualied personnel.
