B. Ducted Condenser For ducted outside air applications, the combined pressure losses of the intake and discharge air paths must not exceed the external static capabilities of the system at the design airflow (See Table 3). Outdoor Performance Table 0.0" 0.1"...
C. Indoor-Air (Conditioned Supply Air) System The VEB/VHB series unit may be applied in either a free return air configuration ora ducted return air configuration. The supply air path is intended to be ducted. The design and construction ofthe indoor-air system must provide adequate air distribution to ensure comfort levels throughout the structure.
2) Electrical electrical connections and ensure a proper ground connection is made before connecting line voltage. Failure to do DANGER: Electrical shock hazard. Turn OFF electric power at the fuse box or service panel before making any so can result in property damage, personal injury and/or death. A.
3) THERMOSTAT MOUNTING AND WIRING A. Thermostat Location Locate the thermostat about 5 ft. above the floor in an area with good circulation at average indoor temperature. Do not mount the thermostat where it may be affected by: • Drafts or dead-air spots behind doors and in corners. •...
CONDENSATE DRAIN LINE The condensate drain exits the unit 2" above floor level at the right side front corner of the unit. The condensate drain line is already internally trapped therefore, no external condensate trap is required. Install a condensate drain line of the same size as the drain fitting on the unit. PVC plastic pipe (3/4 in. I.D.) makes an ideal condensate line (if local codes allow).
Section IV - OWNER'S MANUAL AND OPERATING INFORMATION IDENTIFYING YOUR SYSTEM Take the time to familiarize yourself with the type of system you have. This knowledge will be of use in understanding the basic operation of your unit. A self-contained unit, like the Vert-l-Pak, has all of its major components in one cabinet located inside your home. The unit does not have a separate outdoor unit like a traditional "split-system"...
to run for extended periods of time and may be assisted by the auxiliary electric resistance heating elements. Once you understand the operation of your new heat pump, you will appreciate its constant, even heat and lower energy consumption. Heat Mode Operation During the heat mode of operation, frost or ice may build up on the outdoor-air coil after operating for extended periods during particularly cool and humid weather.
System Control The SYSTEM or MODE control on your thermostat offers the following selections: COOL, OFF, HEAT, and EM HEAT. Neither the cooling nor heating equipment will operate when the SYSTEM or MODE control is set to OFF. With the SYSTEM or MODE control set to COOL, your unit will operate in cooling mode.
PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE With the proper maintenance and care, your system will operate economically and dependably. Maintenance can be accomplished easily by referring to the following directions. However, before performing any maintenance, consider these important safety precautions: ,A WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard. Before attempting any service work or routine maintenance, turn offall electrical connections to the unit.
INSPECT AND CLEAN INDOOR-AIR COIL Eventually, minor amounts of lint and dirt may pass through the filter and collect on the indoor-air coil. These minor accumulations can be carefully vacuumed away with a brush attach ment on a vacuum cleaner. Care must be taken to avoid bending the aluminum fins on the coil.
