Location
•  The GTS outdoor enclosure must be level and located so there is 
enough clearance for opening the access panels.
•  Verify that the position of pad or curb properly supports the 
unit and that support structure dimensions coincide with unit 
dimensions.
•  Do not locate unit in areas where the surrounding air has high 
levels of particulates, such as some industrial parks or areas near 
highways.
•  Locate unit so air intakes are not too close to exhaust fan outlets, 
gasoline storage, or other contaminants that potentially could 
cause dangerous situations. Using and storing gasoline or other 
flammable vapors and liquids in open containers in the vicinity of 
this appliance is hazardous.
• When located on the roof, the air intakes must be a minimum of 
14" (360 mm) off the roof to prevent intake of snow or splashed 
rain. The unit should be located so prevailing winds do not blow 
into the air intakes.
•  An emergency drain is provided. In case of any water leak, water 
drains onto the roof through this emergency drain.
•  A keypad with standard 5' (1.5 m) cable ships mounted to 
the subpanel in the GTS outdoor enclosure. The keypad must 
not come in contact with the strip heaters or block the intake 
ventilation hood.
•  If constant monitoring of the unit is desired, or if the unit is 
located in a severe climate, install a remote mount keypad. 
Additional cable lengths up to 500' (152 m) are available as an 
option for this mounting configuration. 
•  Curbs (optional) are shipped knocked down for ease of 
transporting to the roof. Curbs are manufactured of 14-gauge 
galvanized steel and shipped with all hardware for bolt-together 
assembly. All holes are matched before leaving the factory. Curb 
is to be a minimum of 14" (360 mm) high. A closed-cell curb 
gasket with adhesive on one side is supplied with hardware. An 
installation drawing also is included. To prevent moisture from 
leaking into the building from either driving rain or melting 
snow, install the gasket between the top of the curb and the base 
surface of the unit.
