How to Install the N160126G102 Air Conditioner

Installation guide for mounting and wiring the N160126G102 air conditioner.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wrench, Ratchet driver

Supplies needed:

Gasket kit, Mounting bolts, Mounting screws, Drain tube

  1. Verify Functionality

    Inspect the air conditioner and verify correct functionality before mounting. If the unit has been in a horizontal position, ensure it has been upright for at least 5 minutes before testing. Refer to the nameplate for electrical requirements and connect to a properly grounded power supply. The evaporator blower should start immediately. Operate for 5-10 minutes, checking for excessive noise or vibration. Both blowers and the compressor should be running, and condenser air should be warmer than room temperature.

  2. Prepare Enclosure

    Using the cutout dimensions provided in the manual, prepare the air "IN" and air "OUT" openings, and the mounting bolt hole pattern for the enclosure. Ensure adequate ventilation and clearance for service. Maintain at least 24" from the front, 2" from the right side, 8" from the left side, and 6" from the top. The distance between the air conditioner and other internal components must be at least 3".

  3. Install Gaskets

    Using the provided gasket kit, install gaskets onto the air conditioner.

  4. Mount the Air Conditioner

    Mount the air conditioner onto the enclosure using the provided mounting bolts and screws. "EZ" mount tabs can assist in holding the unit in place. Ensure the unit remains upright for a minimum of 5 minutes before starting operation. Start bolts by hand before tightening with a wrench or ratchet driver to avoid cross-threading.

  5. Route Drain Tube

    Carefully route the drain tube, ensuring it is on a continuous downward slope and does not kink or elevate above the exit point. Improper routing can lead to condensate drain pan overflow.

  6. Connect Power

    Refer to the top of the nameplate for electrical requirements. Connect the power cord or wire the unit to a properly grounded power supply. Use of an extension cord is not recommended. If wiring directly, the electrical circuit should be fused with a time delay fuse or HACR circuit breaker per the MOPD rating. Ensure no other equipment is connected to this circuit to prevent overloading.
