rating conditions, and A-weighted Sound Power Level tables
produced, assuring units have acceptable noise qualities (see
page 9). Each unit has been ran in cooling operation at 95°F and
82°F and sound ratings for the RA14 range from as low as 74
dBA to 77 dBA.
All units have been ship tested to assure units meet stringent
“over the road” shipping conditions.
As manufactured all units in the RA14 family have cooling capa-
bility to 55 °F. Addition of low ambient control will allow the unit
to operate down to 0°F. Factory testing is performed on each
unit. All component parts meet well defined specification and
continually go through receiving inspections. Each component
installed on a unit is scanned, assuring correct component uti-
lization for a given unit capacity and voltage. All condenser coils
are leak tested with pressurization test to 550#’s and once
installed and assembled, each units’ complete refrigerant
system is helium leak tested. All units are fully charged from the
factory for up to 15 feet of piping. All units are factory run tested.
The RA14 has a 10-year conditional compressor and parts war-
ranty (registration required).

FIGURE 2 *IF MAXIMUM OUTLET TEMPERATURE RISE IS DESIRED, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT
CONTROL WIRING FOR GAS OR OIL FURNACE W1 (W/BK) AND W2 (W/BL) BE JUMPERED TOGETHER.
Application Guidelines
1. Intended for outdoor installation with free air inlet and outlet. Outdoor fan external static pressure available is less than 0.01 -in. wc.
2. Minimum outdoor operation air temperature for cooling mode without low-ambient operation accessory is 55°F (12.8°C).
3. Maximum outdoor operating air temperature is 125°F (51.7°C).
4. For reliable operation, unit should be level in all horizontal planes.
5. Use only copper wire for electric connections at unit. Aluminum and clad aluminum are not acceptable for the type of connector
provided.
6. Do not apply capillary tube indoor coils to these units.
7. Factory – supplied filter drier must be installed.
