NDW INSTALLATION MANUAL

Safety Considerations

Installing and servicing air conditioning and heating

equipment can be hazardous due to system pressure and

electrical components. Only trained and qualified service

personnel should install, repair or service heating and air

conditioning equipment. When working on heating and

air conditioning equipment, observe precautions in the

literature, tags and labels attached to the unit and other

safety precautions that may apply.

Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work

gloves. Use quenching cloth for brazing operations. Have

fire extinguisher available for all brazing operations.

NOTE: Before installing, check voltage of unit(s) to ensure

proper voltage.

WARNING: Before performing service or

maintenance operations on the system, turn off

main power switches to the unit. Electrical shock

could cause serious personal injury.

Application

Units are not intended for heating domestic (potable) water

by direct coupling. If used for this type of application, a

secondary heat exchanger must be used.

Moving and Storage

Move units in the normal “Up” orientation as indicated by

the labels on the unit packaging. When the equipment

is received, all items should be carefully checked against

the bill of lading to ensure that all crates and cartons

have been received in good condition. Examine units for

shipping damage, removing unit packaging if necessary

to properly inspect unit. Units in question should also

be internally inspected. If any damage is observed, the

carrier should make the proper notation on delivery receipt

acknowledging the damage. Units are to be stored in a

location that provides adequate protection from dirt, debris

and moisture.

WARNING: To avoid equipment damage, do not

leave the system filled in a building without heat

during cold weather, unless adequate freeze

protection levels of antifreeze are used. Heat

exchangers do not fully drain and will freeze

unless protected, causing permanent damage.

General Installation Information

Unit Location

Provide sufficient room to make water and electrical

connections. If the unit is located in a confined space,

provisions must be made for unit servicing. Locate the

unit in an indoor area that allows easy removal of the

access panels and has enough space for service personnel

to perform maintenance or repair. These units are not

approved for outdoor installation and, therefore, must be

installed inside the structure being conditioned. Do not

locate units in areas subject to freezing conditions.

WARNING: Do not store or install units in

corrosive environments or in locations subject

to temperature or humidity extremes (e.g. attics,

garages, rooftops, etc.). Corrosive conditions and

high temperature or humidity can significantly

reduce performance, reliability, and service life.

WARNING: To avoid equipment damage and

possible voiding of warranty, be sure that

properly sized strainers are installed upstream

of both brazed plate heat exchangers to protect

them against particles in the fluid.

Mounting Units

Prior to setting the unit in place, remove and discard

both compressor hold down shipping bolts located at the

front of each compressor mounting bracket. Units should

be mounted level on a vibration absorbing pad slightly

larger than the base to provide isolation between the

unit and the floor. It is not necessary to anchor the unit to

the floor. Allow access to the front, back, and side access

panels for servicing.
