Application Notes Ruud products are designed for human comfort and can be used for other conditioning needs Units are not designed as “make-up air” units or for hostile environments Hot Gas Reheat and VFD Currently Available
Additional Notes When installing a package unit on a roof curb remove shipping material from under the unit Prior to start-up remove shipping blocks from under the compressor. Failure to do so may result in transmitted noise Economizer sheet metal hoods and screens are shipped inside the unit for protection. Some parts have subtle differences. Identify all parts prior to assembly Electric Heater kits for Package Heat Pumps and Package Cooling units are not the same kits that are used in residential air handlers
Additional Notes KEEP THE ECONOMIZER PLUG This is a must for diagnostic procedures in the future All Accessory Model Numbers begin with RX (Green) / AX (Gray) For example, RXRD = AXRD except the color Residential Package Economizers are the same for Horizontal or Vertical installation When Installing an Economizer/Hoods Two scratch awls come in mighty handy Layout everything before starting
