3. CHOOSING LOCATION FOR THE<br />
AIR CONDITIONER/HEAT PUMP<br />
This air conditioner is specifically designed for installation on<br />
the roof of a recreational vehicle (RV). When determining<br />
your cooling requirements, the following should be considered:<br />
1. Size of RV;<br />
2. Window area (increases heat gain);<br />
3. Amount of insulation in walls and roof;<br />
4. Geographical location where the RV will be used;<br />
5. Personal comfort level required.<br />
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS DUCTED CCC<br />
A. For One Unit Installation:<br />
The air conditioner/heat pump should be mounted slightly<br />
forward of center (front to back) and centered from side<br />
to side.<br />
B. For Two Unit Installations:<br />
Install one air conditioner/heat pump one-third and one<br />
air conditioner/heat pump two-thirds from front of RV and<br />
centered from side to side.<br />
It is preferred that the air conditioner/heat pump be installed<br />
on a relatively flat and level roof section measured with the<br />
RV parked on a level surface; however,<br />
1. Up to an 8° slant to either side or front-to-back is<br />
acceptable on 600 and 630 Series <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Conditioner</strong>s/heat<br />
pump.<br />
2. Up to a 15° slant to either side or front-to-back is<br />
acceptable on 579, 590, 591 or 595 Series <strong>Air</strong><br />
conditioners/heat pump.<br />
AFTER LOCATION HAS BEEN SELECTED:<br />
a. Check for obstructions in the area where air<br />
conditioner/heat pump will be installed. See<br />
FIG. 1.<br />
b. The roof must be designed to support 130<br />
pounds when the RV is in motion. Normally 200<br />
pound static load design will meet this requirement.<br />
CAUTION<br />
It is the responsibility of the installer of this<br />
air conditioner/heat pump system to ensure<br />
structural integrity of the RV roof. Never create<br />
a low spot on the roof where water will<br />
collect. Water standing around the air conditioner/heat<br />
pump may leak into the interior<br />
causing damage to the product and the RV.<br />
