Mini-Space Series Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual2.0 INSTALLATION2-12.1 Receiving the EquipmentYour Mini-Space precision A/C system has beentested and inspected prior to shipment. To ensurethat your equipment has been received in excellentcondition, make a visual inspection of the equipmentimmediately upon delivery. Carefully remove the shippingcontainer and all protective packaging. Openthe access panels/doors and thoroughly inspect theunit interior for any signs of transit-incurred damage.If there is shipping damage, it must be noted on thefreight carrier’s delivery forms BEFORE signing forthe equipment. Any freight claims MUST be donethrough the freight carrier. SATS ships all equipmentFOB. SATS can assist in the claim filing processwith the freight carrier. Should any damage be present,notify the SATS Product Support Group prior toattempting any repairs. Refer to section five of thismanual for instructions.A unit Data Package has been sent with your unit. Itcontains this manual, a supplemental microprocessorcontroller manual, system drawings, applicableMSDS’s, other component manuals, warranty registrationand other applicable instructions based on theconfiguration and options of your unit. The data packagehas been placed in your unit in a clear plasticenvelope. These documents need to be retained withthe unit for future reference.NOTEItems that have been shipped loose, such ascontrollers, temperature sensors, water detectors,buck/boost transformers etc., are shippedinside the air conditioner unless specifi ed otherwiseby the customer. The duct connectionplate or plenum box (if applicable) are placed ontop of the air conditioner inside the unit’s carton.Remove and store these items in a safe placeunless you are using them immediately.2.2 Site PreparationMini-Space systems are designed with easy serviceaccess in mind. Component access panels are locatedon the front of the equipment. In order to havefull service access through the front hinged accessdoor, no permanent obstructions can be placed within28 inches in front of the unit. (See Figure 3)NOTEWorking clearance requirements need to beestablished prior to the mounting of the unit.Refer to local and national electrical codes.CONTROLLERPOP-OFFACCESS PANELS2.0"28.0"Figure 3- Installation ClearanceTo minimize the effects of the environment surroundingthe conditioned space, certain steps must betaken. This is especially true for critical/precisionroom preparation (computer rooms/labs) requiringclose tolerance control of temperature and humidity.The conditioned space should be well insulated andinclude a vapor barrier. The installer should ensurethat the proper insulation rating is used based on thedesign of the space, which was the basis for the systemselected.

Outside or fresh air should bekept to a minimum (as it adds to the cooling, heating,dehumidification and humidifying loads), whilemaintaining the requirement of the Indoor Air Quality(IAQ) standard. Lack of these steps can cause erraticoperation, unstable room control and excessivemaintenance costs.2.3 RiggingMini-Space systems are designed to be kept in avertical position. Move the unit with a suitable devicesuch as a forklift, pallet jack or roller bar and dollies.A weight table is provided on the installation drawingprovided with your unit for reference. The Mini-Spaceunit is shipped on a skid to facilitate moving prior toinstallation. The unit should always be stored indoorsin a dry location prior to installation.CAUTIONWhen moving the unit, it must be kept level andin the vertical position to prevent damage.2.4 Mounting/PlacementMini-Space systems that are not ducted, are designedto be located in the conditioned space.Ducted units may be located either inside or outsidethe conditioned space but are designed to supply airto only one room. Mini-Space units have a compactfootprint which allows the units to be placed in a corneror between cabinetry. It is recommended that theunit be positioned to obtain optimum air circulation.NOTEPlacement of the fl oor or ceiling registers isimportant. If they are too close to the unit, thesupply air will be recirculated back to the unitbefore it has circulated throughout the space.See Figure 4. The unit is designed to be located ontop of the fl oor (typically upfl ow) or on a raised floor(typically downfl ow).CAUTIONEnsure the mounting surface is able to supportthe weight of the equi[pment. On some raisedfloor installations a floor stand is required,depending on the load capacity of the existingraised fl oor. Before mounting the unit, refer tothe weight table on the installation drawing.UPFLOWDOWNFLOWOPTIONAL 2 OR 3 WAY PLENUM BOX(FIELD INSTALLED)OPTIONAL DUCTCONNECTION PLATEOPTIONAL DUCT CONNECTION PLATE(NOT REQUIRED WITH PLENUM BOX)OPTIONAL FLOOR STANDOPTIONAL TURNING VANEFigure 4- Typical Installation(©April, 2008)2-2Air Technology Systems, Inc.
