RB SERIES ENGINEERING GUIDE
Typical Unit Installation
Unit Location
Locate the unit in an indoor area that allows for easy removal of
the filter and access panels. Location should have enough space
for service personnel to perform maintenance or repair. Provide
sufficient room to make water, electrical and duct connection(s). If
the unit is located in a confined space, such as a closet, provisions
must be made for return air to freely enter the space by means
of a louvered door, etc. Any access panel screws that would be
difficult to remove after the unit is installed should be removed
prior to setting the unit. On horizontal units, allow adequate room
below the unit for a condensate drain trap and do not locate the
unit above supply piping. Care should be taken when units are
located in unconditioned spaces to prevent damage from
frozen water lines and excessive heat that could damage
electrical components.
Installing Vertical Units
Prior to setting the unit in place, remove and discard the
compressor hold down shipping bolt located at the front of the
compressor mounting bracket. Vertical units are available in left
or right air return configurations. Top flow vertical units should be
mounted level on a vibration absorbing pad slightly larger than the
base to provide isolation between the unit and the floor. It is not
necessary to anchor the unit to the floor.
WARNING: Before performing service or maintenance
operations on a system, turn off main power switches
to the indoor unit. If applicable, turn off the accessory
heater power switch. Electrical shock could cause
personal injury.
Installing and servicing heating and air conditioning equipment can
be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components.
Only trained and qualified service personnel should install, repair
or service heating and air conditioning equipment. Untrained
personnel can perform the basic maintenance functions of cleaning
coils and cleaning and replacing filters.
All other operations should be performed by trained service
personnel. When working on heating and air conditioning
equipment, observe precautions in the literature, tags and labels
attached to the unit and other safety precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
Use a quenching cloth for brazing operations and have a fire
extinguisher available.
