Guidelines for Installation
38 APC NetworkAIR™ AFX
Service access At least 24" (610 mm) of clear space must be left in front of the unit for
routine service (filters, humidifier). We strongly recommend
approximately 32" (813 mm) clearance in front of the unit.
Receiving the unit Your AFX unit has been completely tested and inspected prior to
shipment. To ensure that you have received the unit in excellent
condition, perform a careful inspection of the crating and the unit
immediately upon receipt. Verify that all parts ordered were received as
specified and that the unit is the correct size and voltage necessary to
fulfill your environmental control needs. Report any damage discovered
to the freight carrier. If necessary, contact the APC field service
department for help in repairing or replacing damaged parts. While APC
is not responsible for damage incurred in transit, we want to make sure
that you have no undue delays in your system start-up.
Rigging The unit is manufactured with a formed steel frame for maximum
strength and unit integrity. However, as with all electrical and
mechanical equipment, you must take care with proper rigging of your
unit.
When using a forklift to move the unit, use the shipping skid to protect
the bottom of the unit. When using chains, cables or rope to lift the unit,
use spreader bars to prevent damage to the finished panel.
Floorstand Install a threaded pedestal into each leg of the floorstand. Use the washer
and nut on each panel to tighten against the floorstand leg.
Utility connections All connections are made through the bottom left of the unit (the left
side of upflow discharge units) for ease of service connections. Refer to
the installation manual for pipe sizes and specific locations for your unit.
Power unit The AFX unit uses 3-phase power for operation. Power connections are
landed to a receptacle on either floorstand or sub base. Bring the service
cable through the bottom left of the unit and through the bulkhead hole
into the electrical box to the circuit breaker provided on the left side of
the electrical box. The ground lug is located near the 3-phase high-
voltage connector. THE UNIT MUST BE UTILITY GROUNDED
OR THE WARRANTY IS VOID.
Humidifier connections The humidifier inlet connection point is provided with the equipment. A
1/4" (6.4mm) compression connection is supplied with the unit.
Condensate drain Condensate from the evaporator pan is collected and discharged by the
condensate pump to a 7/8" (22.2mm) fitting for field connection.
