problem, the casters may be inserted directly into the bottom of the 1” tubular steel corner posts at
the bottom of the unit.
Warning: Improper lifting or moving of equipment may result in damage to decorative
doors, panels or frame members.
1.4 Locating the Unit
When installing the unit, suffi cient space must be allowed for airfl ow clearance, wiring, plumbing and
service access. It is recommended that each side and front door have a clearance of at least 30” to
allow the doors to swing open and for servicing the unit.
The doors on some sides may not require as much service clearance. Refer to the particular unit
component breakdown drawings for assistance. Rear clearance is not required but 1 to 2 inches of
clearance is suggested.
For best air distribution the unit should be centered against the longest wall, as close to the heat load
as possible unless the unit is ducted. The unit should not be placed near any corner of the room or
at the end of a long, narrow room. Multiple units should be evenly spaced as far apart as possible.
NOTE TO INSTALLING CONTRACTOR: Condensation formation and frequent humidi-
fi er fl ushing are normal functions of this equipment. Proper drain connections must be
made to ensure proper removal. Unit will require water connections for condensation
removal and possibly for humidifi er makeup water, condenser water and/or hot water.
Installation of units should be avoided above electronic equipment that sustain water
damage should be avoided at all times.
1.4.1 Downfl ow Units
Downfl ow units will typically sit on an elevated fl ooring system commonly referred to as a raised
fl oor. The unit discharges air downward which pressurizes the raised fl oor area and channels air
upward through perforated fl oor tiles. Location and quantity of perforated tiles will dictate proper
air distribution. If the raised fl oor is strong enough to support the unit and local codes permit such
installations, the unit can be placed directly on top with cutouts made for discharge openings.
There may be additional support required in the form of adjustable (optional) jackstands. Jack-
stands are adjustable, threaded leveling rods which support the unit in each of the corners and in the
center on longer length units. Tighten the lock-nuts provided with each jackstand. The base plate
can rest on the fl oor or on vibration isolation pads.
(Optional) fl oorstands are also a way of supporting the unit. These are ordered to the height of the
fl oor with leveling rods to allow adjustment. The fl oorstand has lips at each corner to align the unit
which is place on top. It is recommended that the unit frame be bolted or screwed to the fl oorstand
from below. Local codes may dictate this procedure. After installation, the raised fl oor is typically
built around the unit.
The raised fl oor serves as the distribution plenum for air on downfl ow units. Cables, pip-
ing, wiring raceways, inadequate fl oor height (raised fl oors less than 12 inches in height
are not recommended) and any other restrictions can inhibit proper air fl ow. Care should
be taken to avoid any air restrictions.
