Installation Instructions: Introduction and Overview

Cassette Product Information

The Cassette Indoor Air Handler ships consists of a cassette assembly and operational louver. The Cassette Indoor Unit is operated via a factory supplied remote control. A wired controller is optional.

The Cassette unit will install between standard dropped ceiling grids. It is mounted using threaded rods that fit into brackets that are located at all four corners of the cassette assembly.

The Cassette unit receives 230 volt line voltage from a connection at the outdoor condensing unit. There is no requirement for independent line voltage connections.

The cassette unit has a built in condensate pump and associated float switch that manages the operation of the condensate pump. A flexible hose is included with the Cassette unit. This hose connects the cassette condensate drain outlet to the buildings condensate drain system.

The motorized louver is controlled via the remote control. The louver has indicator lights that communicate function and diagnostic information to the user and service technician.

Factory provided insulating tape is included with the cassette unit. This tape should be placed over the refrigerant piping connections at the indoor unit to prevent sweating.

Factory Supplied Remote. See Owner's manual for more information Wired Controller is optional

Installation Instructions: Introduction and Overview

Fresh Air Intake Option

The cassette has a marked area to cut out if outside air is desired. The piping connection should be made with a 4 inch diameter pipe. Outside air should be pre-filtered prior to entry into the cassette.

Ø 4 (100) 8 1/4 (210)

Condensate Handling

The Cassette unit has a built in condensate pump and water level safety switch. There is no option for gravity drain. The condensate pump is rated to lift water up to 47 3/16" from the point of discharge on the cassette assembly.

Electrical Power

Follow all local codes and regulations when installing electrical wiring.

Route required electrical power to area where the Cassette unit is to be located. Maintain at least a 10 foot separation between TV, Radio or any communication wiring and the power to the indoor unit.

14 Gauge stranded copper wire should be used to make the electrical connection and communication link between indoor and outdoor units.

The wiring is connected at the indoor unit electrical terminal blocks screws 1, 2, 3 and ground. There should be no splices in the wires between the indoor and outdoor units as these serve as communication signal wires and electrical power connections. Any accessory added to shut off power to the indoor section should break the Number 2 terminal only.

Air Delivery Clearances

Make certain to maintain proper clearances around the cassette as specified in the installation instructions. Standard clearances for cassette air handlers require 5 feet of clearance in each direction. There should be 8 feet of clearance from the face of the cassette grille to the floor. Inadequate clearances can cause system freezing and temperature control problems.

Service and Maintenance Clearances

Make sure there are adequate clearances for future maintenance and service. Allow enough room to access the condensate pump assembly and the electrical control box.

MINIMUM CLEARANCES (Appearance may vary)

Step 1 - Preparation

A. Procedure for selecting the location:

• Place above the ceiling where you have enough space to position the unit.
• Place where the drainage pipe can be properly positioned.
• Place where the inlet and outlet air of the indoor unit will not be blocked.
• Do not install the unit in a place with heavy oil or moisture (e.g. - kitchens and workshops)
• Do not install in a location with destructive gas (such as sulfuric acid gas) or pungent gas (thinner and gasoline) are used or stored.
• Choose a place solid enough to bear the weight and vibration of the unit and where the operation

noise will not be amplified.

• Install where there are no expensive items like a television or piano below the indoor unit.
- Leave enough space for maintenance.
• Install at least 3 ft. away from televisions and radios to avoid interference.

NOTES:

- R-410A refrigerant is a safe, nontoxic and nonflammable refrigerant. However, if there is a concern about a dangerous level of refrigerant concentration in the case of refrigerant leakage, add extra ventilation.

B. Threaded Rod Mounting Information:

The Cassette unit should be mounted to the building structure using threaded rods. The threaded rods should have washers and nuts to allow the height and level of the cassette to be adjusted.

The threaded rods and attachment brackets are field supplied items. The materials required for mounting to the brackets on the cassette assembly include:

• 4-3/8" Threaded Rods
• 4- Mounting Brackets
- 8-Washers
• 8- Nuts (Double nut the assembly as shown)

Step 2 - Installation of the Cassette Unit

A. Use supplied cardboard template to locate center point of cassette for mounting. Use a plumb bob and string to position cassette by referencing center hole of template. Mark the mounting positions of the threaded rods using the guides on the cardboard template.

E. Prior to routing the refrigerant lines to the unit, install the supplied flare nuts onto the refrigerator lines. Using an R-410 flaring tool, flare the refrigerant lines. Remove the caps attached to the ends of the refrigerant line connections at the cassette. A nitrogen charge will leak out.

Using a torque wrench, torque the fittings to the proper specifications. (See outdoor Unit Section for flare torque settings.)
