Guidelines for Installation

The AFX provides reliable, accurate temperature and humidity control of

computer rooms, laboratories, and other environments that require close
tolerance control. The unit incorporates the latest system design innovations
to provide you with optimum efficiency, reliability, and accuracy of control.
The AFX system will provide years of trouble-free service, when
installed and maintained by technically qualified personnel.

Room preparation During the design of the room, consideration should be given to the
following factors: ease of entry for the system, floor-loading factors, and
accessibility of piping and wiring.
The room must be sealed with a vapor barrier to minimize migration of
moisture. Polyethylene film (plastic sheeting) is a good vapor barrier for
ceiling and wall applications. Rubber- or plastic-based paints should be
applied to concrete floors and walls. The room should be thoroughly
insulated to minimize thermal loads and make-up air (if required) should
be preconditioned to reduce additional temperature, filtration, and
moisture loads.
A room using a raised-floor plenum for air distribution should have at
least 9" (300 mm) of clear space between the false floor and sub-floor
for a finished floor height of 12" (380 mm). Pay special attention to the
location of pipe chases, electrical conduits and other obstructions under
the floor. These objects can block air circulation and cause loss of air
pressure, thus reducing system efficiency and causing hot spots in your
room.
APC should be notified before installation if the unit is incorrect for the
application.

Unit location The location of the unit is important for efficient and balanced
environmental control in your room. The air conditioner should be
located as close as possible to the largest heat load. In rooms having a
high aspect ratio, mount the unit along the longest wall to ensure even
air distribution. If improperly installed, erratic control or mechanical
failure can and will result.

Service access At least 32" (815 mm) of clear space must be left in front of the unit for
routine service (filters, humidifier).

APC NetworkAIR™ AFX 35

Guidelines for Installation

Receiving the unit Your AFX unit has been completely tested and inspected prior to
shipment. To ensure that you have received the unit in excellent
condition, perform a careful inspection of the crating and the unit
immediately upon receipt. Verify that all parts ordered were received as
specified and that the unit is the correct size and voltage necessary to
fulfill your environmental control needs. Report any damage discovered
to the freight carrier. If necessary, contact the APC field service
department for help in repairing or replacing damaged parts. While APC
is not responsible for damage incurred in transit, we want to make sure
that you have no undue delays in your system start-up.

Rigging The unit is manufactured with a formed steel frame for maximum
strength and unit integrity. However, as with all electrical and
mechanical equipment, you must take care with proper rigging of your
unit.
When using a forklift to move the unit, use the shipping skid to protect
the bottom of the unit. When using chains, cables or rope to lift the unit,
use spreader bars to prevent damage to the finished panel.

Floorstand Install a threaded pedestal into each leg of the floorstand. Use the washer
and nut on each panel to tighten against the floorstand leg.

Utility connections All connections are made through the bottom left of the unit (the left
side of upflow discharge units) for ease of service connections. Refer to
the installation manual for pipe sizes and specific locations for your unit.

Power unit The AFX unit uses 3-phase power for operation. Power connections are
landed to a receptacle on either floorstand or sub base. Bring the service
cable through the bottom left of the unit and through the bulkhead hole
into the electrical box to the circuit breaker provided on the left side of
the electrical box. The ground lug is located near the 3-phase high-
voltage connector. THE UNIT MUST BE UTILITY GROUNDED
OR THE WARRANTY IS VOID.

Humidifier connections The humidifier inlet connection point is provided with the equipment. A
1/4" (6.4mm) compression connection is supplied with the unit.

Condensate drain Condensate from the evaporator pan is collected and discharged by the
condensate pump to a 7/8" (22.2mm) fitting for field connection.

 Guidelines for Installation

Water supply to humidifier 1. The humidifier fill valve orifice is sized for supply water pressure
from 15 PSIG (103.4 kPa) to 150 PSIG (1034 kPa).
2. For cases above 150 PSIG (1034 kPa), install a pressure-reducing
valve in the water feed line to the unit.
3. With extremely dirty or muddy water sources, proper filtration is
required on the unit’s incoming water line.
4. DO NOT use softened water with the humidifier. Softened water is
too conductive.
5. DO NOT use completely demineralized water with the humidifier.
The minerals allow the electrode principle to work.
6. DO NOT use a hot water source. Doing so will cause deposits that
will eventually block the fill valve orifices.
7. Water supplies with high conductivity (above 800 mW) must be
preconditioned for proper operation and longevity of the humidi-
fier.

Water supply A 16- to 20-mesh strainer must be installed in the water supply to the
water units to prevent clogging of brazed plate condenser. This is a field
item.Also recommended on glycol units.
Note: Because of an ongoing program dedicated to product
improvement, specifications are subject to revisions without notice.
APC assumes no responsibility, and disclaims all liability for damages
resulting from use of this information or for any errors or omissions.
