Inspection

When the equipment is received, all items should be carefully checked against the bill of lading to make sure all crates

and cartons have been received. All units should be carefully inspected for hidden damage when received. If any dam-

age is found, it should be reported to the carrier immediately and a claim should be filed. The unit nameplate should be

checked to make sure that the voltage agrees with the power supply available.

Expansion Valve

Install expansion valve and feeler bulb inside cabinet of the unit. Recommended valve sizes are given for each

product family.

Installation

Installation and service of this equipment should be performed only by qualified and experienced commercial refrigeration

mechanics. Correct application and installation of this equipment is necessary to obtain optimum performance and

customer satisfaction. Install all equipment, piping and electrical in accordance with local and national codes and in

conformance with good practice required for proper operation. Work safely! Prevent accidents!
The final step in any installation is to instruct the customer or user in the operation of the equipment. The customer

should be shown how the equipment can be made to operate properly and efficiently. Maintenance requirements

should be explained.

Drain Line

After installing the fan panel assembly, connect the drain line to the fitting provided on the unit. A plastic hose or

metal drain line can be used.
The drain line should be pitched sharply and exit the cabinet as quickly as possible. Traps in the drain line should

be located in a warm ambient to prevent freeze-up.
If only a small portion of the drain line is located in the refrigerated area, a drain line heater will not be required.

If a drain line heater is required, use approximately 15 watts per foot of pipe. Connect the heater wire to the

terminals of the heater circuit (N and 3) at the terminal block in the junction box. The heater will then operate

during the defrost cycle.
All condensate water must be disposed of properly and should not be allowed to accumulate or cause a safety

hazard.
