How to Install the N210246G051 Air Conditioner

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the installation and initial setup of the N210246G051 air conditioner, ensuring proper mounting, wiring, and configuration.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Gasket kit, Drain tube

  1. Inspect the air conditioner

    Check for any visible damage and verify functionality before installation. Ensure the unit is upright for at least five minutes if it has been in a horizontal position.

  2. Prepare the mounting location

    Determine if the unit will be surface or recess mounted. Prepare the enclosure opening according to the mounting cutout dimensions provided in the manual, ensuring adequate ventilation and clearance.

  3. Install gaskets and mount the air conditioner

    Using the provided gasket kit, install gaskets to the air conditioner. Mount the unit to the enclosure using the 1/4-20x.625 mounting bolts, ensuring to torque each bolt to 65 in./lbs.

  4. Connect the drain tube

    Route the drain tube ensuring it maintains a continuous downward slope without kinks. This prevents overflow of the condensate drain pan.

  5. Wiring the air conditioner

    Connect the power cord or wire the unit to a properly grounded power supply, adhering to national wiring regulations. Ensure the circuit is fused according to the specifications in the design data section.

  6. Test the air conditioner

    After wiring, power on the unit and verify that the evaporator blower starts running. Allow the unit to operate for 5-10 minutes, checking for excessive noise or vibration.

  7. Configure the thermostat

    Adjust the thermostat settings as needed. Remove the nylon plug and use a screwdriver to set the desired temperature, turning clockwise for cooler settings and counterclockwise for warmer settings.

  8. Calibrate the thermostat

    Measure the intake air temperature and compare it with the thermostat setting to ensure they are within ±3°F of each other. Adjust as necessary.
