How to Install the G28 Air Conditioner

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the G28 air conditioner, including mounting, wiring, and initial setup.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wrench, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Gasket kit, Wire connectors

  1. Inspect the air conditioner

    Check the air conditioner for any visible damage and verify functionality before installation. Ensure it has been upright for at least five minutes if previously horizontal.

  2. Install the mounting gasket

    Using the provided gasket kit, attach gaskets to the air conditioner to ensure a watertight seal.

  3. Mount the air conditioner

    Securely mount the air conditioner to the enclosure, ensuring not to damage the gasket. Start bolts by hand to avoid cross-threading before tightening with a wrench.

  4. Wire the power supply

    Refer to the nameplate for electrical requirements and wire the unit to a properly grounded power supply. Ensure the circuit is fused with a slow-blow or HACR circuit breaker.

  5. Connect the thermostat

    If required, wire the remote thermostat outputs to the appropriate terminals on the 24 VAC terminal strip, following the correct wiring diagram.

  6. Set the thermostat

    Adjust the thermostat to the desired cabinet temperature, ensuring it is set above 70°F to prevent coil freeze-ups.

  7. Test the air conditioner

    Power on the unit and verify that the evaporator blower starts running. Check the phase monitor light to ensure correct phasing.
