ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS General Power Wiring / Communications Cable Guidelines • • • • • • Follow manufacturer’s circuit diagrams displayed on the inside of the control box cover. Confirm power source specifications. Properly ground the outdoor unit and the indoor unit per National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes. Connect the wiring firmly so that the wires cannot be easily pulled out. Confirm that the electrical capacity is sufficient.

EQUIPMENT SELECTION PROCEDURE Correction Factors Single Zone High Efficiency Standard Wall Mount Engineering Manual Cooling / Heating Correction Factors For Single Zone High Efficiency Wall Mounted systems, calculate the equivalent length of the liquid line from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit. Also, determine the elevation difference of the indoor unit above or below the outdoor unit. Find corresponding cooling or heating capacity correction factors as shown below.
EQUIPMENT SELECTION PROCEDURE Correction Factors Defrost Correction Factor for Heating Operation The outdoor unit heating capacity may need to be adjusted for frost accumulation on air-cooled systems. If design day conditions are below the dewpoint of the surrounding air, frost may not be a problem and no correction factor is needed. In certain weather conditions, however, frost may form and accumulate on the air-cooled outdoor unit coil and impact the coils ability to transfer heat.
APPLICATION GUIDELINES Placement Considerations on page 51 Installing Outdoor Units Indoors on page 56 Design Guideline Summary on page 59
PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS Indoor Unit Selecting the Best Location for the Indoor Unit Follow recommended best practices when choosing an indoor location for the single zone indoor unit. Figure 31: Single Zone High Efficiency Wall Mount Indoor Unit Clearance Requirements. More than 4 inches Dos Dont’s More than 4 inches At least 6.5 feet from the floor Application Guidelines • Follow the table at right for minimum clearance of indoor unit from the top of the unit to the ceiling.
PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS Outdoor Unit Selecting the Best Location for the Outdoor Unit Single Zone High Efficiency Standard Wall Mount Engineering Manual • DANGER Do not install the unit in an area where combustible gas may generate, flow, stagnate, or leak. These conditions can cause a fire, resulting in bodily injury or death. • Do not install the unit in a location where acidic solution and spray (sulfur) are often used as it can cause bodily injury or death.
PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS Outdoor Unit Planning for Snow and Ice, continued. When deciding on a location to place the outdoor unit, be sure to choose an area where run-off from defrost will not accumulate and freeze on sidewalks or driveways, which may create unsafe conditions. Properly install and insulate any drain hoses to prevent the hose from freezing, cracking, leaking, and causing unsafe conditions from frozen condensate.
PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS Outdoor Unit Oceanside Applications Single Zone High Efficiency Standard Wall Mount Engineering Manual Use of a Windbreak to Shield from Sea Wind Figure 35: Oceanside Placement Using Windbreak. Windbreak Ocean winds may cause corrosion, particularly on the condenser and evaporator fins, which, in turn could cause product malfunction or inefficient performance. • • • • • • Avoid installing the outdoor unit where it would be directly exposed to ocean winds.
PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS Outdoor Unit Minimum Allowable Clearance and Service Access Requirements Proper clearance for the outdoor unit coil is critical for proper operation. When installing the outdoor unit, consider service, inlet and outlet, and minimum allowable space requirements as illustrated in the diagrams below. • Include enough space for airflow and for service access.
PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS Installing Outdoor Units Indoors Single Zone High Efficiency Standard Wall Mount Engineering Manual Installing Outdoor Units Indoors Single Zone High Efficiency Standard Wall Mount outdoor units are engineered to be mounted outdoors and include technology designed to minimize the negative effects of winter weather’s freezing rain, sleet, and snow. Some building projects, however, necessitate placing the HVAC outdoor units indoors: • Lack of ground space.
PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS Installing Outdoor Units Indoors Provide a means to drain the condensate generated during heating mode and defrost cycle in addition to rainwater that infiltrates the inlet louver enclosed area. • Install a field-provided drain pan under the outdoor units and provide a path to a nearby floor drain.

REFRIGERANT PIPING DESIGN Design Guideline Summary Device Connection Limitations Figure 42: Single Zone High Efficiency Wall Mount System Layout. A single-zone system consists of one outdoor unit and one indoor unit. One of the most critical elements of a single-zone system is the refrigerant piping. If the connection piping is not within allowable limits, there will be reliability, performance, noise, and vibration issues.
