How to Install the T290426G160 Air Conditioner

Installation guide for mounting and wiring the T290426G160 T-Series air conditioner.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wrench, Ratchet driver

Supplies needed:

Mounting gasket kit, Mounting bolts, Mounting screws

  1. Inspect and Test the Air Conditioner

    Inspect the air conditioner for any shipping damage. If the unit has been in a horizontal position, ensure it is placed upright for at least 5 minutes before testing. Connect the power cord to a properly grounded power supply and operate the unit for 5-10 minutes to verify functionality. Check for excessive noise or vibration. Condenser air temperatures should become warmer than room temperatures within minutes.

  2. Prepare the Enclosure

    Using the cutout dimensions provided in this manual, prepare the air 'IN' and 'OUT' openings, and the mounting bolt hole pattern on the enclosure.

  3. Install Mounting Gaskets

    Using the provided gasket kit, install the gaskets onto the air conditioner in the proper locations as indicated in the 'Mounting Gasket Kit' section of this manual.

  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 during mounting. Ensure the unit remains upright during operation. Start bolts by hand before tightening with a wrench or ratchet driver to avoid cross-threading.

  5. Route the Drain Tube

    Carefully route the drain tube, ensuring it is not kinked and maintains a continuous downward slope from the air conditioner to the exit point. Avoid any elevation of the tube to prevent condensate drain pan overflow.

  6. Connect Power Supply

    Refer to the electrical requirements on the unit's nameplate. Connect the power cord to a properly grounded power supply. It is not recommended to use an extension cord. The electrical circuit should be fused with a slow blow or HACR circuit breaker. Check the nameplate or datasheet for specific electrical requirements.

  7. Adjust Temperature Settings (Optional)

    If necessary, adjust the temperature settings. Remove the nylon plug from the back face of the unit. Use a standard screwdriver to turn the thermostat clockwise for cooler temperatures or counterclockwise for warmer temperatures. Refer to the nameplate or datasheet for specific temperature ranges.
