1. Take unit out of packaging.
2. Slide unit into wall sleeve. The supply duct on the cool-
ing chassis should line up with the supply vent on the
room cabinet. The weather angles should require no
adjustment.
3. Slide unit out of wallsleeve.
IMPORTANT: The correct condenser air baffl es must be
installed or performances may be impaired and/or the
war
ranty will be voided.
4. Baffl e Installation - Remove baffl es from kit bag sup-
plied with unit. Install left and right side baffl es on the
condenser coil in existing holes:
• Choose the proper fi tting baffl es for your applica-
6. Apply 2” x 1 1/2” open cell foam strips around supply air
duct to ensure that all the conditioned air is delivered
into the room. Failure to do so results in recirculation of
the conditioned air around the wall sleeve and through
the unit causing the unit to short cycle, thus raising
operating costs through improper heating and cooling
(Figure A2).
*Refer to the charts on page 23 for electrical and
optional electric heat specifi cations.
Two sets of baffl es are provided in your kit to accommodate
varying wall sleeve depth.

tion.
• Baffles must come
in contact with the
outdoor louver.
• Make sure baffles
are directed inward
toward the center of
coil.
• Secure baffl es tightly
to the condenser coil
using the screws pro-
vided.

7. 1” x 1” Open
cell foam strips
are provided to
prevent outside
air from enter-
ing around the
chassis to the
room from the
sides and top
of the cabinet. Install between wall sleeve and cooling
chassis. It is imperative to have a solid air seal between
wall sleeve and chassis. Failure to do so will result in
air leakage from outdoor to indoor causing system
problems i.e. Coils freezing, short cycling, and constant
running of unit. If installer is in need of more foam than
supplied in kit, consult factory (
Figure B2).
8. Once confi dent that all seals are the correct size and in
the proper location, and the correct baffl es are attached
to the condenser coil in the proper orientation, slide
unit into fi nal position and tighten any tie down bolts or
screws as necessary.
Hydronic Only: Remove the 2-position connector as-
sembly from kit bag supplied with unit (this will have 2
yellow wires attached). Connect this 2-position connector
to the 2-position connection located on the bottom of the
control box panel.
To
Connect Aquastat:
A. Remove the black jumper wire located on the bot-
tom panel of the control box (this is also terminated
with a 2-position connector).
B. Cut the jumper wire in the middle and splice the
aquastat to the jumper.
C. Place the connecter back into original location.
Refer to wire diagram on the unit for details.
9. Connect line cord.
