  1. Inspect the air conditioner

    Check the air conditioner for any visible damage and ensure it is functioning correctly before proceeding with the installation.

  2. Install the mounting gasket

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

  3. Mount the air conditioner

    Securely mount the air conditioner to the enclosure, ensuring that the gasket is not damaged. Avoid dragging the unit to prevent tearing the gasket.

  4. Wire the air conditioner

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

  5. Verify electrical phasing

    For 3-phase units, check that the phase monitor light is illuminated after applying power, indicating correct electrical phasing.

  6. 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.

  7. Set the thermostat

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