holes provided. Ensure there is proper protection procedures adopted during lifting (for
example, to put chipboard/plywood to isolate the lifting cable and the unit) to protect the
surface of the unit.
5.Foundation
a) Leveling of the foundation will affect the installation and operation of the unit. If the
foundation is not level, the following problems could happen:
i. Difficult to install
ii. Air leakage at joints of panels and sections
iii. Condensate water discharge problem
iv. Fan installation problem
It is recommended that the difference of level to be within ±3mm.
b) The foundation can be made of concrete or welded steel. Keep the steel surface
smooth while welding. The height of foundation should not be less than 150mm. The
water drainage is required for discharge of condensation water and for maintenance
purposes.

Ensure that the foundation able to withstand the total weight of unit. Add shock absorber under
the foundation if necessary.
6.Unit Installation
The installation must be done by certified installer. Take note of the following:
a) Strictly comply with the installation instructions provided.
b) Leave enough space for repair and maintenance.
c) Use flexible duct for section of duct connection between the unit and external air duct
to avoid vibration transmission.
d) The panels must be fitted tightly. Rubber gasket must be compressed properly to avoid
air leakage.
e) Air filter should be the last item to be installed.
f) Proper cleaning must be carried out to clean the interior of the unit to remove debris of
installation before commissioning.
1. Keep the water pipes clean and install filter at the inlet of water pump.
2. The condensate water pipes are positioned at the bottom of the unit. The U-trap needs to be
installed (refer diagram below) to ensure condensing water can be discharged freely and to
prevent in-flow of odor.
3. For Chilled Water Coil: Use torque wrench when installing the water inlet/outlet pipes.
The torque should be less than 250.8Nm (21kgf.m) to prevent heat exchanger from being
damaged. Install valves at water supply and return pipes outside the unit (except the
condensing water discharge pipes) for modulation of water volume and to isolate the unit
during maintenance. All the water pipes outside the unit should be properly insulated.
4. The standard chilled water temperature should not be lower than 5°C. Hot water temperature
should not be higher than 80°C and 60°C is the recommended hot water temperature.
5. If hot or chilled water is the media of the heat exchanger, the water inlet pipes are positioned
at the bottom and water outlet pipes are positioned at the top. If the media is steam, the air
inlets are positioned at the top and water outlet pipes are at the bottom.

Start-Up Procedure
1. Apply power to the motor for a short interval to check if the motor is rotating in the correct
direction.
2. Make sure the running current of motor does not exceed the rated motor current as shown on
motor’s nameplate during commissioning to avoid motor overload and motor burnt.
3. Stop the unit immediately if any unusual vibration or noise occurs.
4. Remove belt from motor drive package and allow the motor to run unloaded to determine if
the motor shaft is possibly bent.
5. If the vibration continues after all the checks above, lower the unit speed by approximately
10% to determine if a natural frequency is causing the vibration. Unit water coil should be
filled with water when this check is carried out.
6. Shut down the equipment after 24 hours of satisfactory operation. Re-check all set screws,
bolts, shaft bearing and tighten where necessary.
7. When unit is not operating during winter, close the fresh air damper, shut off the heating
cycle to prevent damage of heat exchanger from freezing.

Servicing and Maintenance
Servicing Methods
The following should be examined and replaced if necessary:
1. Coils should be cleaned frequently and periodically. After 2-3 years of operation, the internal
wall of water pipes should be thoroughly cleaned and if condition permit, use soft water.
2. If the unit is not in operation during winter, all the water in the system must be released,
otherwise the coil will crack.
3. Check the condition of filter periodically (recommend to check monthly). If the unit is equipped
with Pressure Differential Gauge, filter must be cleaned or replaced if the predefined value is
reached. Recommended value for different type of filters are as following:
4. The belt tension should be re-checked one week after commissioning. Subsequently, it should
be examined once every 3 months.
5. The terminals for electrical wires should be re-tightened 3 days after commissioning.
6. Bearings for fan and motor must be examined periodically (recommended 3 months once).
Abnormality of bearings can be determined through abnormal noise and vibration of fan,
excessive usage of lubrication oil or through special bearing testing devices. Once the faulty
bearings are identified, they should be replaced immediately.
7. It is recommended to check the rubber gasket, flexible ducts and connections monthly.
Immediate replacement is necessary if it is found to be leak.
