to the following paragraphs for the proper placement of the
unit.
Units 38AH094,104 — For mounting units on vibration isola-
tors, a perimeter support channel is required between the unit
and the support isolators. The perimeter support channel must
be sized to support the fully assembled unit. Do not support
units on individual isolation supports. Support channel, hard-
ware, and fasteners are field supplied. When unit is in proper
location, level unit and bolt into position with field-supplied
bolts.

unit 38AH124 is shipped as 2 modules (124A and 124B) and
unit 38AH134 is shipped as 2 modules (134A and 134B). The
modules must be connected at the final installation site with the

is made to the circuit. This prevents compressor(s) in both lead

must be removed after servicing.
Control Circuit Reset — The control circuit locks out
if the unit shuts down because of low oil pressure or excessive
high-side pressure. To reset the control circuit, open and close
the fan circuit breaker (FCB). This resets the timer, and the unit
restarts under Time Guard control. At start-up, if the low-
pressure switch (LPS) does not close after 21/2 minutes, the unit
shuts down. When the pressure builds enough for the LPS to
cut in, the control circuit is energized automatically and start-
up proceeds under Time Guard control.
