Installation RT-SVX24K-EN61 Complete Tubing and Wiring Connections as follows: Air-Cooled Tubing Connection One piece Air Cooled units are shipped with refrigerant throughout the entire tubing assemblies. Two and three piece Air-Cooled low side and condenser sections are shipped with a Nitrogen holding charge. All service valves are shipped in an open position. Additional interconnecting tubes (approx. 15-20” in length) will be supplied with the unit. Note: Field charging of 2 and 3 piece air-cooled units is REQUIRED. To prepare the two or three piece sections for joining install pressure gauges to the appropriate access valve(s) to verify nitrogen charge is present. 1. Relieve the pressure before attempting to unsweat the “seal” caps. 2. Remove the brackets which support the suction tubes (retain for possible use later for unit reassembly) after the tubing connections are complete. 3. Place wet rags on the flow/ ball valve on the high side when suction tubes are being brazed. Note: Additional care should be taken when brazing near the wire bundle. 4. Sweat the copper caps off both the high and low side of the suction and liquid lines of both circuits. If present also sweat off the copper caps from hot gas bypass or hot gas reheat lines. 5. Clean the joints of weld puddles to avoid insertion problems. 6. Cut the appropriate interconnecting tube to a length appro ximately 0.75- 1 more than the distance between the two tubes. 7. Insert the appropriate tube to the complete depth of the bell on one side of the joint and align the other side(prying the high side may be needed). Make sure the insertion depth is met. 8. Complete the connections by brazing the tubes in place. Note: R efrigeration ball valves are intended for general service and are not a positive shutoff device. 9. Once all connections have been brazed, evacuate the entire system. The recommended method for evacuation and dehydration is to evacuate the system to 500 microns or less.To establish that the unit is leak- free, use a standing vacuum test. The maximum allowable rise over a 15 minute period is 200 microns. Figure 37. Charge evacuation diagram - evaporative condensers
Installation 62RT-SVX24K-EN If the rise exceeds this, there is either still moisture in the system or a leak is present. 10. Charge the system per the unit nameplate field c harge.Do not add refrigerant in the suction line at this time to prevent excessive refrigerant in the low side prior to compressor startup. 11. At the liquid line angle valve add as much R-410A LIQ UID as possible. Depending on conditions, it could not be possible to add more than 60% of the field charge. This will be adequate for compressor startup.More charge will be added after compressors are started. Use an accurate scale to measure and record the preliminary amount of R-410A added to each circuit. 12. With all the circuit compressors operating, SLOWLY meter R410-A into the suction line from the LIQUID charging connection. Evaporative Condenser Tubing Connection Important: For units with electric heat, complete tubing connections AFTER completing wiring connections. See “Electric Heat Wiring Connection” on page 63 section. Important: Complete tubing connections BEFORE Power and Control wiring connections. See “Power and Control Wiring Connections” on page 63section. There will be a N 2nitrogen charge in the air handler section. This holding charge should be relieved prior to removing the caps. The condenser section will ship with R-410A throughout the entire tubing assemblies. The service valves will be shipped in an open position. Additional interconnecting tubes (approx. 15-20 in length) will be supplied with the unit. 1. To prepare the condensing section for the joining of the two sections, the discharge and liquid line service valves should be shut and the refrigerant remaining between the valves and the end caps should be transferred/recovered. 2. If the unit has been purchased with hot gas bypass or hot gas reheat options, those valves should be shut as well and the refrigerant transferred/recovered from the sections between the valves and the end caps. 3. Remove the brackets which support the suction tubes (retain for possible use later for unit reassembly) after the tubing connections are complete. 4. Relieve the pressure (charge) for the section of the tubing being worked on. 5. Place wet rags on the flow/ ball valve on the high side when suction tubes are being brazed. Note: Additional care should be taken when brazing near the wire bundle. 6. Sweat the copper caps off both the high and low side of the suction and liquid lines of both circuits. 7. Clean the joints of weld puddles to avoid insertion problems. 8. Cut the appropriate interconnecting tube to a length appro ximately 0.75- 1 more than the distance between the two tubes. 9. Insert the appropriate tube to the complete depth of the bell on one side of the joint and align the other side (prying the high side may be needed). Make sure the insertion depth is met. 10. Complete the connections by brazing the tubes in place. Note: R efrigeration ball valves are intended for general service and are not a positive shutoff device. 11. Once all connections have been brazed, evacuate the low side. The low side may be evacuated by the schrader ports on the discharge line just past the compressor and the liquid line below the sight glass. See Figure 37, p.61. The recommended method for evacuation and dehydration is to evacuate the low side to 500 microns or less. To establish that the unit is leak-free, use a standing vacuum test. The maximum allowable rise over a 15 minute period is 200 microns. If the rise exceeds this, there is either still moisture in the system or a leak is present. Note: Only after evacuation should the tagged valves be opened. WARNING Hazard of Explosion and Deadly Gases! Never solder, braze or weld on refrigerant lines or any unit components that are above atmospheric pressure or where refrigerant may be present. Always remove refrigerant by following the guidelines established by the EPA Federal Clean Air Act or other state or local codes as appropriate. After refrigerant removal, use dry nitrogen to bring system back to atmospheric pressure before opening system for repairs. Mixtures of refrigerants and air under pressure may become combustible in the presence of an ignition source leading to an explosion. Excessive heat from soldering, brazing or welding with refrigerant vapors present can form highly toxic gases and extremely corrosive acids. Failure to follow all proper safe refrigerant handling practices could result in death or serious injury.
Installation RT-SVX24K-EN63 Electric Heat Wiring Connection Important:For units with electric heat, complete tubing connections AFTER completing wiring connections. See “Tubing Connections” section. 1. Cut and remove wire ties which hold the electric control wires together, remove the shield bracket. Leave the armaflex on the hole with the control wires. 2. Cut the lowest wire tie which holds the electric heatpower wires to the vertical post on the high side. 3. Route the power wires one by one in to the hole on the low side end panel and connect them to the terminal block inside the electric Junction Box or inside the extended casing section. Note: F or 8 extended casing units, remove the panel (this panel weighs approximately 60 pounds) next to the corner post in the low side to locate the terminal block. 4. Bundle the electric heat power and control wires with armaflex wrap on the low side end of the unit. Screw the shield bracket to compress the wire bundle and create a good seal. Figure39, p.64 5.

O/A Pressure Sensor and Tubing Installation (All VAV units and all units with Statitrac) Figure 44, p. 68 O/A pressure sensor mounted to the roof bracket. Factory supplied pneumatic tubing installed between the O/A pressure sensor and the connector on the vertical support. Field supplied pneumatic tubing connected to the proper fitting on the space pressure transducer located in the filter section, and the other end routed to a suitable sensing location within the controlled space. Condensate Drain Connections Each unit provides two 1-1/4 evaporator drain connections on each side of the unit. Due to the size of these units, all condensate drain connections must be connected to the evaporator drain
Installation 66RT-SVX24K-EN connections. Refer to Detail A inFigure 12, p. 25for the location of these drain connections. A condensate trap must be installed due to the drain connection being on the “negative pressure” side of the fan. Install the P-Traps at the unit using the guidelines in Figure 41. Pitch the drain lines at least 1/2 inch for every 10 feet of horizontal run to assure proper condensate flow. Do not allow the horizontal run to sag causing a possible double- trap condition which could result in condensate backup due to “air lock”. Units with Gas Furnace Units equipped with a gas furnace have a 3/4 CPVC drain connection stubbed out through the vertical support in the gas heat section. It is extremely important that the condensate be piped to a proper drain. Refer to the appropriate illustration in Figure 49, p. 73for the location of the drain connection. Note: Units equipped with an optional modulating gas furnace will likely operate in a condensing mode part of the time. Ensure that all condensate drain line installations comply with applicable building and waste disposal codes. Note: Installation on gas heat units will require addition of heat tape to the condensate drain. Removing Compressor Assembly Shipping Hardware Each manifolded compressor assembly is rigidly bolted to a mounting rail assembly. The rail assembly is set on six (6) rubber isolators.The assembly is held in place by six (6) shipping “Tiedown” bolts. To remove the shipping hardware, follow the procedures below: 1. Remove the bolt in each rubber isolator and the slotted shipping spacer located between the compressor rails and the unit base rail illustrated in Figure 43, p. 67. Reinstall the bolts at the same location by screwing them into the base rail two to three turns only. 2. Ensure that the compressor rail assembly is free to move on the rubber isolator. Removing Supply and Exhaust Fan Shipping Channels Each supply fan assembly and exhaust fan assembly is equipped with spring isolators. Shipping channels are installed beneath each fan assembly and must be removed. To locate and remove these channels, refer to Figure 42, p. 67 and use the following procedures. Spring Isolators Spring isolators for the supply and/or exhaust fan are shipped with the isolator adjusting bolt backed out. Field adjustment is required for proper operation. Figure 42, p. 67 shows isolator locations. To adjust the spring isolators use the following procedure. 1. Remove and discard the shipping tie down bolts but leave the shipping channels in place during the adjustment procedure. See Figure 42, p. 67. 2. Tighten the leveling bolt on each isolator until the fan assembly is approximately 1/4 above each shipping channel. 3. Secure the lock nut on each isolator. 4. Remove the shipping channels and discard. Remove Evaporative Condenser Fan Shipping Brackets To remove shipping brackets Important: Remove fan shipping brackets before startup. Failure to remove brackets could result in fan damage. Evaporative condensers are shipped with fan shipping brackets to reduce damage caused by vibration during shipment. The fan shipping brackets must be removed prior to unit startup. To remove the shipping brackets start from the side opposite to the drain actuator (see Figure 113, p. 164): 1. Loosen the screw for the bracket that holds the inlet louvers below the door side. 2. Remove inlet louvers and set to the side. Note: S ervice technician may need to step on the horizontal surface of FRP coated base. Step with care. 3. Unscrew the bolt in the middle of the door. Keep the bolt in a safe place. 4.

Installation 68RT-SVX24K-EN O/A Sensor and Tubing Installation An Outside Air Pressure Sensor is shipped with all units designed to operate on variable air volume applications or constant volume units with 100% modulating exhaust w/ Statitrac. On VAV systems, a duct pressure transducer and the outside air sensor is used to control the discharge duct static pressure to within a customer-specified parameter. On CV & VAV units equipped with 100% modulating exhaust w/Statitrac, a space pressure transducer and the outside air sensor is used to control the exhaust fan and dampers to relieve static pressure, to within a customer- specified parameter, within the controlled space. Refer to Figure 44, p. 68 and the following steps to install the sensor and the pneumatic tubing. 1. Remove the O/A pressure sensor kit located inside the “ship with” item container. The kit contains thefollowing items: a. O/A static pressure sensor with slotted mounting bracket b. 50 ft. 0.188 in tubing c. Mounting hardware 2. Remove the two roof cap screws and install the provided L mounting bracket as shown in the figure. 3. Place the sensor mounting slotted bracket to the L mounting bracket with the slot located to the top. 4. Install the sensor vertically to the slotted bracket and secure it with provided bolt and nut. 5. Connect one end of factory provided tubing to the top por t of sensor and pass it through the two slots in the mount and the other end to the port in the base. 6. Secure the tubing with the mounting hardware located in the ship with item container. Units with Statitrac: 1. Open the filter access door, and locate the SpacePressure and Duct Supply Pressure control devices illustrated in Figure 45, p. 69. There are three tube connectors mounted on the left of the solenoid and transducers. Connect one end of the field provided1/4 (length 50-100 ft.) or 3/8 (length greater than 100 ft.) O.D. pneumatic tubing for the space pressurization control to the bottom fitting. 2. Route the opposite end of the tubing to a suitable location inside the building. This location should be the largest open area that will not be affected by sudden static pressure changes. Figure 44.

Installation RT-SVX24K-EN69 Evaporative-Cooled Condenser Make-up Water and Drain Line Installation Make-up Water and Drain Lines Water Supply Source The supply line should be designed to provide a minimum supply of water within customary domestic supply pressures, 35 to 60 psig; dynamic pressure (measured with the valve open) which will allow approximately 30 GPM to enter the sump through the makeup water valve, when the sump is empty. The unit uses about 2-4 GPM. Attach a hand valve at the inlet for use during inspection and maintenance; an inlet strainer is recommended as well. Make-up water inlet connection is a ¾ PVC slip connector. Care must be taken to ensure the water line upstream of the water solenoid valve will not freeze. Insulating the line and utilizing heat tape is recommended if ambient temperatures below 32° F are expected. Water Quality Overall performance of any water-cooled device can be af fected by suspended particulates, mineral concentration, trash and debris resulting in clogging and heat transfer loss. The evaporative-cooled condenser is designed to greatly minimize problems with these impurities. However, float valves and solenoid valves are used to control the incoming water. If the incoming water contains contaminants, sand or other objects, an incoming line strainer with a 80 to 100 mesh screen is required.The inlet line should be flushed prior to connection to the unit, whether or not there is a strainer. Note: Backflow preventer is field installed and should only be installed by qualified personnel . Water Drain Schedule 80 PVC pipe of 1¼ is normally adequate for sump water drain. Periodically, the sump is emptied and flushed to eliminate accumulated dirt, debris, and minerals. Concentration of these foreign substances will increase as the system operates. The evaporative process releases essentially pure water vapor into the atmosphere, leaving the impurities behind that accumulate in the sump. Although these impurities are present in the original make-up water, their concentration will be higher in the sump discharge. Care and judgment should be exercised when selecting a discharge site. Local Site Discharge Rooftop or simple storm sewer discharge is generally acceptable. Do not routinely direct the sump discharge onto an area where these higher concentrations will adversely affect that area, i.e. continued sump discharge into a flower bed for example, where the input water contains CaCO3 (lime) will eventually decrease the pH of the soil. Sewer Discharge The quantities of mineral and debris flushed are actually very small, and do not cause problems when diluted in normal sewer flow. However, local, state or federal standards and restrictions must be followed in any given locality. Figure 45. Space pressure and duct supply pressure tubing schematic
Installation 70RT-SVX24K-EN Make Up Water Solenoid Valve This valve is controlled by the UCM based on water level in the sump, as well as whether a call for mechanical cooling exists. During low ambient temperatures, the solenoid valve will be de-energized preventing water from further filling sump.The sump drain valve opens to empty sump of water. Operation can be extended to 10 deg by providing an optional sump heater. Drain Valve The drain valve is shipped to “drain during power loss conditions”. If “hold during power loss conditions” is desired, refer to “Evaporative Condenser Drain Valve Setup” on page 100 Gas Heat Units All internal gas piping is factory-installed and pressure leak-tested before shipment. Once the unit is set into place, the gas supply line must be field-connected to the elbow located inside the gas heat control compartments. Access holes are provided on the unit as illustrated in Figure 49, p. 73 to accommodate a side or bottom pipe entry. Following the guidelines listed below will enhance both the installation and operation of the furnace. Note: In the absence of local codes, the installation must conform with the American National Standard Z223-1a of the National Fuel Gas Code, (latest edition). 3. To assure sufficient gas pressure at the unit, use Table 16, p.71as a guide to determine the appropriate gas pipe size for the unit heating capacity listed on the unit nameplate. 4. If a gas line already exists, verify that it is sized large enough to handle the additional furnace capacity before connecting to it. 5. Take all branch piping from any main gas line from the top at 90 degrees or at 45 degrees to prevent moisture from being drawn in with the gas. 6. Ensure that all piping connections are adequately coated with joint sealant and properly tightened. Use a piping compound that is resistant to liquid petroleum gases. 7. Provide a drip leg near the unit. 8. Install a pressure regulator at the unit that is adequate to maintain 7 w.c. for natural gas while the furnace is operating at full capacity. Note: Gas pressure in excess of 14 w.c. or 0.5 psig will damage the gas train. Failure to use a pressure regulating device will result in incorrect gas pressure. This can cause erratic operation due to gas pressure fluctuations as well as damage the gas valve. Over sizing the regulator will cause irregular pulsating flame patterns, burner rumble, potential flame outages, and possible gas valve damage. If a single pressure regulator serves more than one rooftop unit, it must be sized to ensure that the inlet gas pressure does not fall below 7 w.c. with all the furnaces operating at full capacity.The gas pressure must not exceed 14 w.c. when the furnaces are off. 9. Provide adequate support for all field installed gas piping to avoid stressing the gas train and controls. 10. Leak test the gas supply line using a soap-and-water solution or equivalent before connecting it to the gas train. 11. Check the supply pressure before connecting it to the unit to prevent possible gas valve damage and the unsafe operating conditions that will result. Note: Do not rely on the gas train shutoff valves to isolate the unit while conducting gas pressure/leak test. These valves are not designed to withstand pressures in excess of 14 w.c. or 0.5 psig. Connecting the Gas Supply Line to the Furnace Gas Train Follow the steps below to complete the installation between the supply gas line and the furnace. Refer to Figure 46, p. 71 ,Figure 47, p. 72 for the appropriate gas train configuration. 1. Connect the supply gas piping using a “ground-joint” type union to the furnace gas train and check for leaks. 2. Adjust the inlet supply pressure to the recommended 7 to 14 w.c. parameter for natural gas 3. Ensure that the piping is adequately supported to av oid gas train stress. 4. If the through the base gas opening is used, seal off around the pipe and the 3 water dam. If the through the base gas opening is not used, the 3 opening should be sealed shut to prevent indoor air leakage. WARNING Hazardous Gases and Flammable Vapors!
