General Information
Inspection
Upon receipt of the equipment, carefully check the shipment
against the bill of lading. Make sure all units have been received.
Inspect the packaging of each unit, and inspect each unit for
damage. Insure that the carrier makes proper notation of any
shortages or damage on all copies of the freight bill and completes
a common carrier inspection report. Concealed damage not
discovered during unloading must be reported to the carrier within
15 days of receipt of shipment. If not filed within 15 days, the
freight company can deny the claim without recourse. Note: It is the
responsibility of the purchaser to file all necessary claims with the
carrier. Notify your equipment supplier of all damage within fi fteen
(15) days of shipment.
Storage
Equipment should be stored in its original packaging in a clean,
dry area. Store units in an upright position at all times. Stack units
a maximum of 3 units high.
Unit Protection
Cover units on the job site with either the original packaging or
an equivalent protective covering. Cap the open ends of pipes
stored on the job site. In areas where painting, plastering, and/
or spraying has not been completed, all due precautions must be
taken to avoid physical damage to the units and contamination
by foreign material. Physical damage and contamination may
prevent proper start-up and may result in costly equipment clean-
up.
Examine all pipes, fittings, and valves before installing any of the
system components. Remove any dirt or debris found in or on
these components.
Pre-Installation
Installation, Operation, and Maintenance instructions are
provided with each unit. Horizontal equipment is designed for
installation above false ceiling or in a ceiling plenum. Other unit
confi gurations are typically installed in a mechanical room. The
installation site chosen should include adequate service clearance
around the unit. Before unit start-up, read all manuals and
become familiar with the unit and its operation. Thoroughly check
the system before operation.
Prepare units for installation as follows:
1. Compare the electrical data on the unit nameplate with
ordering and shipping information to verify that the correct unit
has been shipped.
2. Keep the cabinet covered with the original packaging until
installation is complete and all plastering, painting, etc. is
fi nished.
3. Verify refrigerant tubing is free of kinks or dents and that it
does not touch other unit components.
4. Inspect all electrical connections. Connections must be clean
and tight at the terminals.
5. Remove any blower support packaging (water-to-air units
only).
6. Loosen compressor bolts on units equipped with compressor
grommet vibration isolation until the compressor rides freely
on the grommets.
7. Locate and verify any hot water generator (HWG), hanger,
or other accessory kit located in the compressor section or
blower section.
CAUTION! DO NOT store or install units in corrosive
environments or in locations subject to temperature or
humidity extremes (e.g., attics, garages, rooftops, etc.).
Corrosive conditions and high temperature or humidity can
signifi cantly reduce performance, reliability, and service
life. Always move and store units in an upright position.
Tilting units on their sides may cause equipment damage.
