PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
With the exception of theARPF024-00B-1,ARPF036-00B-
1, ARPF048-00B-1 and the ARPF060-00B-1 (refered to in
this manual as the “B” series), these air handlers are
designed to be installed in the upflow, downflow, and
horizontal orientations.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Special Warning for Installation of Furnace or Air Handling Units in
Enclosed Areas such as Garages, Utility Rooms or Parking Areas
The “B” series air handlers are factory configured to be
installed in the downflow orientation. DO NOT INSTALL
THE “B” SERIES IN THE UPFLOW OR HORIZONTAL
POSITION.
Carbon monoxide producing devices (such as an automobile, space
heater, gas water heater, etc.) should not be operated in enclosed areas
such as unventilated garages, utility rooms or parking areas because of
the danger of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning resulting from the exhaust
emissions. If a furnace or air handler is installed in an enclosed area such
as a garage, utility room or parking area and a carbon monoxide producing
device is operated therein, there must be adequate, direct outside
ventilation.
The “C” series airhandler is designed for low leak
applications. These air handlers are designed for indoor
use only and must only be installed in a weatherized area.
DO NOT INSTALL OUTDOORS. Typical residential
installations for this product include alcoves, basements,
attics, crawl spaces, and closets. Other nonresidential
applications are acceptable provided they comply with this
manual and local/state codes.
This ventilation is necessary to avoid the danger of CO poisoning which
can occur if a carbon monoxide producing device continues to operate in
the enclosed area. Carbon monoxide emissions can be (re)circulated
throughout the structure if the furnace or air handler is operating in any
mode.
CO can cause serious illness including permanent brain damage or death.

DO NOT OPERATE THIS PRODUCT WITHOUT ALL
DUCTWORK ATTACHED.
To ensure correct system performance, the ductwork is to
be sized to accommodate 375-425 CFM per ton of cooling
with the static pressure not to exceed .5" WC. Inadequate
ductwork that restricts airflow can result in improper
performance and compressor or heater failure. Ductwork
is to be constructed in a manner that limits restrictions and
maintains suitable air velocity. Ductwork is to be sealed to
the unit in a manner that will prevent leakage.
Inspection of the Building Electrical Service
Return Ductwork. DO NOT TERMINATE THE RETURN
DUCTWORK IN AN AREA THAT CAN INTRODUCE
TOXIC, OR OBJECTIONABLE FUMES/ODORS INTO
THE DUCTWORK. The return ductwork is to be introduced
into the air handler bottom (upflow configuration).
This unit is designed for single-phase electrical supply. DO
NOT OPERATE ON A THREE-PHASE POWER SUPPLY.
Measure the power supply to the unit. The supply voltage
must be in agreement with the unit nameplate power
requirements and within the range shown in Table 6.

Wire Sizing
Air Handler Only (Non-Heat Kit Models)
Wire size is important to the operation of your equipment.
Use the following check list when selecting the appropriate
wire size for your unit.
The building supply connects to the stripped black and white
wires contained in the air handler electrical compartment
cavity. A ground screw is also contained in this area. Attach
the supply wires to the air handler conductors as shown in
the unit wiring diagram using appropriately sized solderless
connectors or other NEC or CEC approved means.
•
Wire size must carry the Minimum Circuit Ampacity
(MCA).
Refer to the NEC (USA) or CSA (Canada) for wire
sizing. The unit MCA for the air handler and the optional
electric heat kit can be found on the unit Series and
Rating Plate.
Air Handler With Non-Circuit Breaker Heat Kits
A terminal block is provided with the HKR kit to attach the
supply and air handler connections. Follow the HKR
Installation Manual and wiring diagram for complete wiring
details.
•
Wire size allows for no more than a 2% voltage drop
from the building breaker/fuse panel to the unit.
Air Handler With Heat Kits Containing a Circuit Breaker.
HKR models with a “C” suffix contain a circuit breaker(s).
The air handler has a plastic cover on the access panel
that will require either one or both sections to be removed
to allow the heat kit circuit breaker(s) to be installed. See
the HKR Installation Instructions for further details. The air
handler wires and supply wires are installed directly onto
the HKR circuit breaker(s) as shown in the HKR Installation
Manual and wiring diagram.
Refer to the latest edition of the National Electric Code
or in Canada the Canadian Electric Code when
determining the correct wire size. The following table
shows the current carrying capabilities for copper
conductors rated at 75oC with a 2% voltage drop. Use
the Table 7 to determine the voltage drop per foot of
various conductors.
Maximum Allowable Length in Feet
to Limit Voltage Drop to 2%*
Low Voltage Connections
Several combinations of low voltage schemes are available,
depending on the presence of a heat kit and whether the
heat kit is single-stage or multi-staging. The low voltage
connections are determined by whether the outdoor unit is
a condenser or heat pump. The 24V-control voltage
connects the air handler to the room thermostat and
condenser. Low voltage wiring is to be copper conductors.
A minimum of 18AWG must be used for installations up to
50’ and 16AWG for installations over 50’. Low voltage
wiring can be made through the top of the cabinet or through
either side. See the “Thermostat Wiring” section of this
manual for the ARUF, ARPF and ARPT models for typical
low voltage wiring connections. The Supplemental
Installation Manual included with the AEPT product shows
the wiring diagrams for these models.

than the equipment MCA but not to exceed the MOP.
Electrical Connections – Supply Voltage
USE COPPER CONDUCTORS ONLY.
A knockout is provided on the air handler top panel or side
to allow for the entry of the supply voltage conductors. If
the knockouts on the cabinet sides are used for electrical
conduit, an adapter ring must be used in order to meet
UL1995 safety requirements. An NEC or CEC approved
strain relief is to be used at this entry point. The wire is to
be sized in accordance with the “Electrical Wire and MOP”
section of this manual. Some areas require the supply
wire to be enclosed in conduit. Consult your local codes.
Tubing Preparation
All cut ends are to be round, burr free, and cleaned. Failure
to follow this practice increases the chances for refrigerant
leaks. The suction line is spun closed and requires pipe
cutters to cut off the closed end.

The motors in allARUF andARPF motors are multi-speed
PSC motors. The color of the wire coming from the motor
to the “COM” terminal on the control board defines in which
speed the motor will operate. The black wire represents
high speed, the red wire represents low speed, and the
blue wire (select models only) represents medium speed.
To change speeds, remove the wire attached to the “COM”
terminal on the control board, and swap it with the wire (on
terminal “M1” or “M2”) with the color that will give the
desired speed.

The AEPT product uses a General Electric ECMTM motor.
This motor provides many features not available on the
traditional PSC motor. These features include:
• Improved Efficiency
• Constant CFM
• Soft Start and Stop
Table 11 - Cooling and Heat Pump CFM
Thermostat “Fan Only Mode”
During “Fan Only Mode” operation, the CFM output is 30%
of the cooling setting.
CFM Trim Adjust
• Improved Humidity Control
Minor adjustments can be made through the dip switch
combination of 7-8. The following Table 12 shows the
switch position for this feature.
Motor Speed Adjustment
Each ECMTM blower motor has been preprogrammed for
operation at 4 distinct airflow levels when operating in
Cooling, H.P. Heating, Backup Heating (Electric Heating),
and Backup + H.P. Heating. Each mode has 4 levels to
deliver different Air Flow CFM [L/s]. The adjustment is
performed by changing the dipswitch(s) either to an “OFF”
or “ON” position.

Humidity Control
When using a Humidistat (normally closed), cut jumper PJ6 on the control board. The Humidistat will only affect cooling
airflow by adjusting the Airflow to 85%.
Two Stage Heating
When using staged electric heat, cut jumper PJ4 on the control board.
Thermostat Wiring
Use thermostat wiring diagram Figures 10 thru 13 and those provided with the thermostat when making these connections.
