units are inspected and tested prior to
shipment, ensuring a high quality product. Upon receipt of
the unit(s), inspect for any damage that may have occurred
during shipment.
Upon delivery, compare items on the bill of lading with the
items on the shipment to verify all parts have been received.
Any shortage, breakage or damage noticed at time of delivery
should be indicated on the carrier’s freight bill and signed by
the driver or carrier’s representative. Damage, noticed after
delivery, should be reported to the carrier at once. Request
their inspection of the shipment and ll out a concealed damage
inspection report.
Located on the inside of fan section access door is a
handwritten list of eld install items shipped with the unit.
Items typically shipped loose include:
Acu-Shield Roof Coating (see Figure 14) (optional)
Thermal Break Gasketing (see Figures 9, 11, 15 & 17)
Split Reconnect Hardware (Nuts, bolts, polyurethane
caulking)
Extra Fan Belts (If Ordered)
Installation and Start-Up Manual
Lifting Lugs
Filters & Filter Clips (Typically Shipped Separately)
HEPA Filter Latches ship loose and/or attached to HEPA
lter frames
Short term storage is considered six (6) months or less from
date of shipment. Storage maintenance during this time period
is usually limited to the following:
1. Store units in dry, indoor protected area on a rm at
surface to prevent unit distortion.
2. Protect units from excessive vibration and accidental impact.
3. Do not store other equipment on top of or inside unit.
Whenever possible, unit should be stored indoors or under
cover. If unit must be stored more than 1 week outdoors,
Johnson Controls-Frick recommends the following guidelines:
1. Cover all oor openings and secure all doors.
2. Tarp unit to protect unit from dust, rain, snow and rodents.
(Tarp over the roof and down the side to the base channel
and secure.)
3. Store on level surface. If unit must be raised off ground,
supports under base channel and base channel cross supports
at maximum interval of 5 feet.
4. Fan wheels should be rotated by hand 90° every month.
Lightly lubricate bearings every two (2) months.
5. A 200-watt light bulb needs to burn continually in each section
to prevent water condensation inside unit.
6. Inspect and ventilate each section every 2 weeks to pre-
vent them from getting musty and to ensure that unexpected
problems are addressed immediately. Special care may be
required for electrical or electronic components.
Chemical cell gas sensors (Ammonia Detectors) inside AcuAir
hygienic units are sensitive to storage temperatures and
humidity. The electrochemical sensor begins to degrade
immediately upon manufacture. The degradation process is
worsened in the presence of warm to hot temperatures as
well as high humidity. For this reason gas detector sensor
cell warranty is strictly based on time lapse from the date it
is purchased from the manufacturer and irrespective of the
date the AcuAir unit is placed into active duty. For optimal
sensor life involving storage:
• Remove the electrochemical sensor cell
• Place the cell in a zip-lock style storage bag
• Store the bag with the cell in a refrigerator between 35°F
and 40°F
The unit will ship (as specified on unit submittal) either
assembled, as a subassembly (collection of parts), or as
individual sections.
To prepare for safely lifting the air unit, estimate the
approximate center of gravity. Internal placement of
components may cause the weight to be unevenly distributed,
with more weight in the coil and fan areas.
Removable lifting lugs are provided to rig the unit/sections into
place. Spreader bars are required to prevent damage to the
