INTRODUCTION
The 48EZ--A unit (see Fig. 1) is a fully self--contained,
combination Category I gas heating/electric heating and cooling
unit designed for outdoor installation (See Fig. 2 and 3 for unit
dimensions). All unit sizes have return and discharge openings for
both horizontal and downflow configurations, and are factory
shipped with all downflow duct openings covered. Units may be
installed either on a rooftop, or on a cement slab (See Fig. 4 for
roof curb dimensions).
Models with an N in the fifth position of the model number are
dedicated Low NOx units designed for California installations.
These models meet the California maximum oxides of nitrogen
(NOx) emissions requirements of 40 nanograms/joule or less as
shipped from the factory and must be installed in California Air
Quality Management Districts or any other regions in North
America where a Low NOx rule exists.
RECEIVING AND INSTALLATION
Step 1 — Check Equipment
IDENTIFY UNIT
The unit model number and serial number are stamped on the unit
information plate. Check this information against shipping papers.
INSPECT SHIPMENT
Inspect for shipping damage before removing packaging materials.
If unit appears to be damaged or is torn loose from its anchorage,
have it examined by transportation inspectors before removal.
Forward claim papers directly to transportation company.
Manufacturer is not responsible for any damage incurred in transit.
Check all items against shipping list. Immediately notify the
nearest equipment distribution office if any item is missing. To
prevent loss or damage, leave all parts in original packages until
installation.
If the unit is to be mounted on a curb in a downflow application,
review Step 9 to determine which method is to be used to remove
the downflow panels before rigging and lifting into place. The
panel removal process may require the unit to be on the ground.
Step 2 — Provide Unit Support
For hurricane tie downs, contact distributor for details and PE
(Professional Engineering) Certificate if required.
ROOF CURB
Install accessory roof curb in accordance with instructions shipped
with curb (See Fig. 4). Install insulation, cant strips, roofing, and
flashing. Ductwork must be attached to curb.
IMPORTANT: The gasketing of the unit to the roof curb is
critical for a water tight seal. Install gasketing material supplied
with the roof curb. Improperly applied gasketing also can result in
air leaks and poor unit performance.
Curb should be level to within 1/4 in. (6 mm). Thisis necessary for
unit drain to function properly. Refer to accessory roof curb
installation instructions for additional information as required.
Installation on older “G” series roof curbs.
Two accessory kits are available to aid in installing a new “G”
series unit on an old “G” roof curb.
1. Accessory kit number CPADCURB001A00, (small chassis)
and accessory kit number CPADCURB002A00, (large
chassis) includes roof curb adapter and gaskets for the
perimeter seal and duct openings. No additional
modifications to the curb are required when using this kit.
2. An alternative to the adapter curb is to modify the existing
curb by removing the outer horizontal flange and use
accessory kit number CPGSKTKIT001A00 which includes
spacer blocks (for easy alignment to existing curb) and
gaskets for the perimeter seal and duct openings. This kit is
used when existing curb is modified by removing outer
horizontal flange.
UNIT/STRUCTURAL DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in property damage.
Ensurethereissufficientclearanceforsawbladewhencutting
the outer horizontal flange of the roof curb so there is no
damage to the roof or flashing.
!
CAUTION
SLAB MOUNT
Place the unit on a solid, level concrete pad that is a minimum of 4
in. (102 mm) thick with 2 in. (51 mm) above grade. The slab
should be flush on the compressor end of the unit (to allow
condensate drain installation) and should extend 2 in. (51 mm) on
the three remaining sides of the unit. Do not secure the unit to the
slab except when required by local codes.
Step 3 — Field Fabricate Ductwork
Secure all ducts to roof curb and building structure on vertical
discharge units. Do not connect ductwork to unit. For horizontal
applications, unit is provided with flanges on the horizontal
openings. All ductwork should be secured to the flanges. Insulate
and weatherproof all external ductwork, joints, and roof openings
with counter flashing and mastic in accordance with applicable
codes.
