Choosing the Proper Location for the Air Conditioner

NOTE: The roof must be designed to support the weight of the rooftop unit and the weight of 2 installers standing on the roof.
There are two ways of installing the rooftop air conditioner:

1. Using the existing roof vent opening in the vehicle roof.
2. Making a new opening. In this case the opening should be reinforced by an appropriate frame as required.

Existing Roof Vent Opening
The air conditioner is designed to fit over an existing 14” roof vent opening.
New Opening
When no roof vent is available or another location is desired, the following is recommended:

• For one unit installation the air conditioner should be mounted near the rear and centered from side to side.
• For two unit installations, install one air conditioner near the rear of the RV and the other air conditioner less than two thirds from the rear of the RV, aligned in the center.
• It is preferred that the air conditioner be installed on a relatively flat and horizontal roof section measured when the RV is parked on a level surface.

NOTE: A 15° slant to either side or front to back is acceptable for all units. If the roof exceeds 15° please use an exterior leveling shim to make air conditioner level.

After the Location Has Been Selected

1. Check for obstructions in the area where the air conditioner will be installed.
2. Check the inside of the RV for return air kit obstructions. (i.e. door openings, room dividers, curtains, ceiling fixtures, etc.) Allow 6” (152mm) space from the opening to account for any potential return air kit obstructions.

Roof Preparation
Opening Requirements – Before preparing the ceiling opening, decide on the type of system options. Read all of the following instructions before beginning the installation.

WARNING

• Fire/Electric Shock Hazard
• Make sure there are no obstacles inside the RV roof, floor and walls, such as wires and pipes.
• Shut off the gas supply and disconnect the 115VAC power from the RV before drilling or cutting into the RV. Failure to obey these warnings could result in death or serious injury.

Roof Thickness
The installation of air conditioner suits for roof thickness from 3.5” (90mm) to 6” (152mm). For other thickness, please contact Furrion or Furrion authorized service agent.

Installing in an Existing Opening

1. Unscrew and remove the roof vent.
2. Remove all caulking compound around the opening.
3. If the opening exceeds 141/4” x 141/4” (+1/2”), it will be necessary to resize the opening to 141/4” x 141/4” (+1/2”). If the opening is less than 141/4” x 141/4” (+1/2”), it must be enlarged.

Making a New Opening

• If a roof vent opening will not be used, a 141/4” x 141/4” (+1/2”) (362mm x 362mm) opening must be cut through the roof and ceiling of the RV. This opening must be located between the roof reinforcing members.
• The 141/4” x 141/4” (+1/2”) opening is part of the return air system of the air conditioner and must be finished in accordance with NFPA Standard 501C Section 2.7.2.

1. Mark a 141/4” x 141/4” (+1/2”) square on the roof and carefully cut an opening.

2. Using the roof opening as a guide, cut a matching hole in the ceiling.
   NOTE: Maintain structural integrity. Otherwise damage to product and/or RV could occur. Always observe the following guidelines while structuring the opening.

3. The opening created must be framed to provide adequate support and prevent air from being drawn from the roof cavity.

4. Lumber 3/4” or more in thickness must be used. Remember to provide an entrance hole for power supplies, wall thermostat and furnace wiring for connections. Leave 15” (381mm) minimum at the front of the opening.

Preparing Wire Connections
Each rooftop air conditioner opening must be prepared with proper wiring to connect the ceiling controller of the air conditioner to the 115VAC supply voltage.
NOTE: The wire connections need to be positioned in the forward facing 1/4 section of the opening.

DANGER
Electrical Shock Hazard

• Disconnect power before servicing. Failure to obey this warning could result in death or serious injury.
• Provide grounding in compliance with all applicable electrical codes. Failure to obey this warning could result in death or serious injury.

115VAC Supply

1. Prepare a dedicated 20 amp rated circuit for each air conditioner unit, protected with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
   NOTE: With multiple air conditioners on a 50 amp service, it is best to balance between the line voltage legs.

2. Extend circuit with a 12AWG 2-wire with ground to the roof opening.
   NOTE: The wire gauge is generally acceptable per NEC code, refer to rooftop unit nameplate and applicable code for proper sizing.

3. Protect the wire where it passes through any rough surfaces or openings.

4. Terminate with at least 15” (381mm) of supply wire extending out of the roof opening. This ensures an easy connection at the control box.

INSTALLATION

Installing the Rooftop Unit

CAUTION

• The rooftop unit weighs approximately 85 pounds (39 kg).
• To prevent back injury, use a mechanical hoist when lifting or moving the unit. Failure to obey this warning could result in injury.
• Do not slide unit. It may damage the gasket at the bottom of the rooftop unit and cause leakage.
• Do not grasp the ventilation slots to lift the rooftop unit up.

Hold the bottom of the unit, lift and position the rooftop unit into the prepared opening using the gasket at the bottom of the rooftop unit as a guide.

• This completes the outside installation of the rooftop unit.
• Minor adjustments can be done from inside of the RV if required.

Installing the Air Distribution Box (ADB)
The rooftop unit is fixed on the RV roof using 4 long bolts through the mounting frame from the interior of the RV ceiling.

1. Check the gasket alignment of the rooftop unit inside the RV over the roof opening and adjust as necessary by lifting and moving slightly.
2. Reach up into the return air opening and pull down the rooftop unit electric cord. Ensure all terminated wire ends specified in “Preparing Wire Connections” section are accessible.
3. Dry fit the mounting frame, making sure the “THIS WAY FRONT” mark is facing front (the direction of the vehicle), and measure the gap from the top of the insulated foam divider to the base of the AC unit. Record this measurement.
4. Cut and remove an amount of the top insulation foam divider equal to the recorded measurement height.
5. Measure the new height of the insulated foam divider. Cut enough adhesive insulation foam to fully cover the foam insulation divider, and adhere the adhesive insulation to the divider.
6. Connect the insulated top foam divider to the mounting frame and seal any cracks.
7. Install the assembled mounting frame into the rooftop opening.
8. Fix the assembled mounting frame into the rooftop unit using 4 bolts provided. Evenly tighten the four bolts to a torque of 40 inch pounds. This will compress the roof gasket to approximately 1/2”.

NOTE: If bolts are left loose there may not be an adequate roof seal or if over tightened, damage may occur to the rooftop base or mounting frame.
