Performance Features
 

Exceeded Department of Energy Advanced RTU Challenge by 15%

Exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 and Energy Star efficiency levels, as well as Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) criteria

All models have three-stage cooling capacity control

Up to 17.5 SEER and 20.8 IEER

Exclusive non-corrosive composite condensate pan in accordance with ASHRAE 62 Standard, sloping design; side or center drain

All models have standard cooling operation up to 125 °F (52°C), and down to 40°F (4°C)

VAV models use a duct static pressure sensor to vary the units indoor fan motor variable frequency drive (VFD) while cooling capacity is controlled by the units supply air temperature sensor, to make sure the correct temperature in each zone.

 

Maintenance Features
 

Control terminal board facilitating simple safety circuit troubleshooting and simplified control box arrangement

Access panels with easy grip handles and tool-less filter access door

Innovative, easy starting, no-strip screw feature on unit access panels

Optional hinged access panels also available

Two-inch disposable return air filters

All models have a belt drive evaporator-fan motor and pulley combinations with VFD controller to match the capacity cooling stages for maximum efficiency and comfort control

3 to 5 ton models have an optional ECM direct drive (multi-speed and torque) indoor fan motor system
