How to Install the N431246G360 Air Conditioner

Installation guide for mounting and wiring the N431246G360 SPECTRACOOL Air Conditioner.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wrench, Ratchet driver

Supplies needed:

Mounting gasket kit, Copper conductors

  1. Inspect and Test Functionality

    Inspect the air conditioner for any damage that may have occurred during shipment. Verify correct functionality before mounting. If the unit has been in a horizontal position, ensure it is placed upright for a minimum of five (5) minutes before operating. Refer to the nameplate for electrical requirements and wire the unit to a properly grounded power supply using copper conductors only. Ensure the minimum circuit ampacity is at least 125% of the amperage shown on the unit nameplate. Immediately after applying power, the evaporator blower should start. Operate the unit with the compressor running for five to ten minutes by setting the cooling thermostat or controller setpoint below the ambient temperature. Condenser air temperatures should become warmer than normal room temperatures within a few minutes after the condenser impellers start.

  2. Mount the Air Conditioner

    Install the provided mounting gasket kit to the air conditioner. Mount the air conditioner onto the enclosure, taking care not to damage the mounting gasket, as it forms the seal between the unit and the enclosure. Avoid dragging the air conditioner on the enclosure with the gasket attached to prevent rips or tears. Start mounting bolts by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with a wrench or ratchet driver.

  3. Wire the Unit

    Refer to the unit's nameplate for specific electrical requirements. Wire the unit to a properly grounded power supply using copper conductors. The electrical circuit should be fused with a slow-blow fuse or a HACR circuit breaker. No other equipment should be connected to this circuit to prevent overloading. If your unit requires a remote-mounted thermostat, wire the thermostat outputs to the appropriate terminals on the 24 VAC terminal strip, following the correct wiring diagram.

  4. Set Thermostat

    Set the thermostat to the required cabinet temperature. Reference the 'Sequence of Operation' on page 4 for details on thermostat adjustment and operation. Note: Do not set the enclosure thermostat to a temperature lower than 70 F, as this can increase the likelihood of frost buildup on the evaporator coil. For testing purposes only, the thermostat stop screw may be removed to allow settings below 70 F, but it must be replaced and verified that the thermostat cannot be set below 70 F after testing.
