Service Clearances
In addition to providing adequate space around the unit for Figure 1: Servicing Space Requirements
piping coils and drains, access to at least one side of the unit                 
is always required to allow for regular service and routine
maintenance, which includes filter replacement, drain pan
inspection and cleaning, fan bearing lubrication, and belt   
adjustment. Provide sufficient space—at least equal to the
length of the coil—on the side of the unit for shaft removal and
coil removal. Space, at least equal to the length of the side    
             
coil, is required for coil removal. Space, at least equal to the
fin height, is required for top coil removal. See Figure 1 for    
servicing space requirements.      

For routine maintenance purposes, access normally is obtained

through the access doors or by removing panels. Fan and filter
sections are always provided with a service door on one side of
the unit. If requested, doors can be provided on both sides of the
unit. Optional service doors are available for most section types
and are provided based on customer request.
If component replacement is required, the top panel also
can be removed. If necessary, the unit can be disassembled.
Maintain at least 54" of clearance in front of electrical power     
 
devices (starters, VFDs, disconnect switches and combination
devices). Electrical power devices that are mounted on the side
of the unit typically are up to 12" deep (Figure 2). Fan sections
with multiple fans have motor control boxes up to 16" deep
when supplied with VFDs. Figure 2: Service Clearance for Electrical Power Devices

Rigging
WARNING Figure 4: Units on Skids
Use all lifting points. Improper lifting can cause severe personal injury and
property damage.

CAUTION
Lifting points may not be symmetrical to the center of gravity of the unit.
Ballast or unequal cable lengths maybe required.

DANGER
DO NOT LIFT FROM 2" HOLES AT ENDS OF UNIT. Failure to comply may
result in personal injury or death.

Vision air handlers ship as separate sections, completely

assembled, or in modules of assembled sections. The unit
must be rigged as it ships from the factory. Do not rig units
after assembly. When a unit is provided with a factory-installed
base rail, it can be lifted using the 2" diameter lifting holes
located in the corners of each shipping section (Figure 3). If
a unit does not have a base rail, rig it using straps or a sling.

Class II plenum fans that are stacked on another section may Figure 7: Direct-Drive Class II Plenum Fan Stacked Unit
be lifted using the methods shown in the following figures. The
shipping brackets must remain in place and be tight in order to
lift using this method. Figure 6 shows a belt-drive fan with field
supplied eye bolts that are screwed into factory installed hex
AVK fasteners in the main channels supporting the fan. Figure
7 shows a direct-drive fan with field supplied eye bolts on the
motor end and straps around the spring bracket on the inlet
end. When factory installed hex AVK fasteners are installed,
they should be used for lifting. When they are not installed, it is
acceptable to lift from the shipping brackets on the fan. Figure
8 shows dual fans being lifted in a similar manner as the single
direct-drive fan. An eight point lift must be used for dual fans
to make sure both fans are supported properly and the cabinet
structure does not become overloaded along the center.
If the fan section is connected to another section such as a
plenum or access section, then DO NOT attempt to lift both
sections using just the fan section. The other section(s) must
be supported separately using straps.

Horizontal Airflow Section Mounting

1. Rig the unit into position and lineup shipping sections in
the direction of air flow. Pull sections together to fasten.
Use a furniture clamp or straps and a ratchet to help pull
the sections together securely (Figure 10).
2. If the unit has a factory-installed base rail, first fasten
base rails together using the 3/8"-16 × 5" bolts located in
the splice kit provided with the unit.
a. To fasten two shipping sections together, four bolts
are needed (two on each side of the unit). The
bolts are run from one base rail into the other and
fastened with a nut. Complete each section bottom
and top before attaching additional sections.
            3. If no base rail is provided, fasten the unit in the same
            manner on the bottom and top frame channels.
                 
          4. Once the sections are positioned together, remove the
       fastener in each of the channel corners (on the mating
edges in the channel piece).
5. Place a flat section joining plate (found in the splice kit)
over the two coned holes in the channels, so that the
plate spans the two sections.
6. Replace the fasteners in their original position, through
the joining plate.
7. For certain Custom Air Handler units, use the provided
section joining plates to fasten sections together. Space
them as shown in Figure 11. Using the provided ¼"-14 x
1" self tapping screws, drill screw the joining plates into
the frame channel on each section, keeping unit sections
tight together. Follow instruction drawing included in the
assembly kit.

2. The two sections are fastened together at the four
bottom corners of the mating edge. To fasten the corners
located on the end of the unit (where bottom section and
top section walls are flush with each other), remove the
flat head fasteners in the corners of both sections.
3. Cover the coned holes with a flat joining plate and
replace the flat head fasteners in the holes to secure the
joining plate to both sections (Figure 12).
4. When one section is deeper than the other, secure the
two sections using an L-shaped joining plate. To secure
the L-shaped bracket, remove the flat head fastener
from the corner, position the bracket over the hole, and

Isolation Dampers for Multiple Fans

Optional isolation dampers can be provided on multiple fans
to prevent backflow through a fan that is turned off for service.
These isolation dampers are not intended to be used to control
flow through the fan. The isolation damper for a fan that is
going to be started must be positioned in the full open position
before the fan is started. Do not start a fan with the damper
located at the inlet with the damper fully or partially closed.
This can cause airflow, vibration, and sound problems that can
lead to failure.
Isolation dampers can be provided with actuators that are
mounted in the airstream. Actuator sizing for the isolation
dampers should be based on 9 in-lb per square foot of damper.

are expected to check for any vibration issues. If any areas
of concern are located, it is recommended to lock out those

will never operate continuously at those points, but will rather
pass through them to get to the desired points of operation.

Daikin EC Fan Array

The Daikin EC Fan Array is made of an impeller, EC motor, and Figure 56: High Voltage Wiring
inverter. It is installed as an assembly, and in the event of failure,
the entire assembly must be replaced. Bearings are permanently
sealed and lubricated, so no periodic greasing is necessary.
A minimum 24" access section is recommended downstream
of the ECM fan array section to gain access to the fans.
If an access section is not selected downstream of the
fan array, there will be very limited access to the fans for
service/replacement.
The entire array is controlled via a 0-10V signal. Control signal
is wired to points 3 and 4 on the Daikin low voltage terminal
strip seen in Figure 55. There are two other points for the EC
Fan Array: fan array enable and disable are points 1 and 2,
and fan array fault are points 5 and 6. If any fan in the fan array
faults, there is a contact closure between 5 and 6.
The control panel can be ordered for remote mounting. For
remote mounted panels the individual fans will be wired to each Figure 57: Block-Off Plate Installation
other, but the factory will not wire to the outside of the cabinet.
The EC Fan Array has an option for a block off plate that

minimum 24" access section is recommended upstream of the
ECM fan array section to install block-off plate.

Optional Piezometer Point Airflow Measurement Device

A Piezometer point is an option with EC fans to measure Figure 58: Piezometer Transducer
airflow through the fan. The device consists of a piezometer
point mounted in the throat of the funnel and a static pressure
tap mounted near the inlet of the funnel. The pressure drop is
measured from the tap located near the inlet of the funnel to
the piezometer point in the throat. The inlet tap is connected
to the high-pressure side of the transducer and the piezometer
point is connected to the low-pressure side.
A transducer is always factory supplied when the Piezometer
Option is selected with an EC Fan. Figure 58 shows the
installation for EC fans.
See the equations and factors required to calculate flow using
the piezometer point:

Non-Standard Density Method

The following equation is used to measure the flow for
non-standard density:
ACFM = C1 × A × √(ΔP/ρ)
where: A = Inlet funnel throat area (square feet) - from Table 20
ΔP = The differential in static pressure from the piezometer ring
and the inlet pressure tap (inches w.g.)
ρ = Air density (pounds mass/cubic foot)
C1 = Value from Table 19

Standard Density Method

The equation can be simplified by assuming standard density
and assuming funnel dimensions match the drawing dimensions.
Table 19 shows the factor (F) for each fan size and type. The
equation then becomes the following:
For standard air (ρ = 0.075 lb/ft3):
ACFM = F × √ (ΔP)
where: F = factor from Table 20
ΔP = The differential in static pressure from the piezometer ring
and the front pressure tap (inches w.g.)

Coils can freeze due to air stratification or failure of outdoor air

dampers and/or preheat controls. Drain all coils as thoroughly
as possible and then treat in the following manner.
• Fill each coil independently with an antifreeze solution
using a small circulating pump and again thoroughly
drain.
• Check freezing point of antifreeze before proceeding
to next coil. Due to a small amount of water always
remaining in each coil, there is a diluting effect. The small
amount of antifreeze solution remaining in the coil must
always be sufficient enough to prevent freeze-up.
NOTE: Carefully read instructions for mixing antifreeze solution
used. Some products have a higher freezing point in
their natural state when mixed with water. Daikin is not
responsible for the freezing of coils.
