How to Install the G28 Air Conditioner

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the G28 Air Conditioner, ensuring proper mounting, wiring, and initial setup.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wrench, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Mounting gasket, Terminal connectors

  1. Inspect the air conditioner

    Check for any visible damage and ensure the unit is functioning correctly before installation. Do not operate the unit if it has been in a horizontal position; allow it to stand upright for at least five minutes.

  2. Prepare the mounting area

    Using the provided mounting gasket, attach it to the air conditioner. Ensure the gasket is intact to maintain a watertight seal.

  3. Mount the air conditioner

    Securely mount the air conditioner to the enclosure using the mounting screws. Start the screws by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with a wrench.

  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. Connect the thermostat

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

  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. Allow the compressor to operate for 5-10 minutes and check for proper cooling.
