How to Install the N160116G050 Air Conditioner

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the N160116G050 air conditioner, ensuring proper mounting, wiring, and initial setup.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Gasket kit

  1. Inspect the air conditioner

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

  2. Prepare the installation site

    Using the cutout dimensions provided in the manual, prepare the air 'IN' and 'OUT' openings and the mounting bolt hole pattern on the enclosure. Ensure there is adequate clearance for ventilation.

  3. Mount the air conditioner

    Using the provided mounting bolts and screws, secure the air conditioner to the enclosure. Use the 'EZ' mount tabs to hold the unit in place while mounting. Ensure the unit remains upright during operation.

  4. Connect the power supply

    Refer to the nameplate for electrical requirements and connect the power cord or wire the unit to a properly grounded power supply. Ensure the circuit is fused according to the specifications.

  5. Install the drain tube

    Route the drain tube ensuring it has a continuous downward slope and is not kinked. This prevents overflow of the condensate drain pan.

  6. Test the air conditioner

    After installation, power on the unit and allow it to run for 5 to 10 minutes. Check for excessive noise or vibration and ensure that the evaporator and condenser blowers are operating correctly.

  7. Calibrate the thermostat

    Adjust the thermostat setting as needed by removing the nylon plug and using a screwdriver to set the desired temperature. Ensure the setting is within the operational range.
