How to Install the T501246G401 Air Conditioner

Installation guide for mounting and wiring the T501246G401 air conditioner.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wrench, Ratchet driver

Supplies needed:

Gasket kit, Mounting bolts, Mounting screws, Drain tube

  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 for 5-10 minutes to verify functionality. Check for excessive noise or vibration. Condenser air temperatures should become warmer than room temperatures within a few minutes.

  2. Prepare the Enclosure

    Determine if the unit will be surface or recess mounted. Prepare the enclosure opening using the appropriate cutout dimensions found in the 'MOUNTING CUTOUT DIMENSIONS' section of this manual.

  3. Install Gaskets and Mount the Unit

    Using the provided gasket kit, install gaskets to the air conditioner. Mount the air conditioner onto the enclosure using the provided mounting bolts and screws. Start bolts by hand before tightening with a wrench or ratchet driver to avoid cross-threading.

  4. Route the Drain Tube

    Route the drain tube, ensuring it is on a continuous downward slope and does not kink or elevate above the exit point. Failure to do so may result in overflowing of the condensate drain pan.

  5. Connect Power Supply

    Refer to the top of the nameplate for electrical requirements. 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.

  6. Adjust Temperature Setting (Optional)

    If necessary, adjust the temperature setting. Remove the nylon plug from the back face of the unit and use a standard screwdriver to adjust the thermostat. Turn clockwise for cooler temperatures and counterclockwise for warmer temperatures.
