Seismic Mounting:
Local area seismic or vibration considerations should be addressed with field
supplied, additional equipment as per applicable codes, regulations, and best
practice. Seismic mounts and vibration control measures should be evaluated and
determined by a qualified engineer. If whole-unit spring mounts are used, it may be
necessary to adjust spring feet tension on the heat pump’s compressor, and/or to
provide blocking and tighten the spring feet fully, to prevent resonance between
the whole-unit and compressor spring mounts.
After placing the heat pump, ensure that the unit is level front to rear
and side to side, adjusting as necessary, before axing the unit to the
mounting base with the provided base clips. Units that are not level
will not drain properly, and may vibrate excessively.
Mounting the Fans:
e-Series units may have the fans shipped separately. The installer must decide
whether to install the fans prior to unit mounting, or after the unit is securely
mounted in place.
All non-ducted applications must enclose the fans and direct air away from the
intake (back) of the unit. A ductless fan shroud accessory is available for this
purpose.
Fans are heavy objects and must be handled with care. When lifting,
support the fan assembly on two sides at all times to avoid torquing
the fan support structure, and only lift from the bottom support plate of
the fan. Lifting from the top plate may torque the fan assembly out of
spec and cause nuisance issues, noise, or equipment failure.
When mounting a fan, be sure to mount such that the fan’s cable fittings are
positioned as close as possible to the fan electrical ports on the top of the heat
pump. Once securely fastened, you may connect the heat pump’s fan wiring to the
fans.
1. If shipped separately, the fans may require their intake air grids to be
attached prior to installation.
2. Take care to line up the fan base plates with the supplied mounting holes for
bolt attachment with the supplied bolts.
3. Ax all attachment points securely.
4. Attach Fan wiring in accordance with the next section.
