Electrical Requirements
NOTE: All outdoor wiring must be suitable for outdoor use. Use
copper conductors only.
■ All field wiring must be done in accordance with National
Electrical Code requirements, applicable requirements of UL,
or local codes, where applicable.
■ Electrical wiring, disconnect means and over-current
protection are to be supplied by the installer. Refer to the
rating plate for the maximum over-current protection,
minimum circuit ampacity, and operating voltage. See the
wiring diagrams in “Make Electrical Connections.”
Inspect Shipment
This heat pump is shipped in one package, completely
assembled and wired. The thermostat is shipped in a separate
carton when ordered.
1. Check the heat pump rating plate to confirm specifications
are as ordered.
2. Upon receipt of equipment, carefully inspect it for possible
shipping damage. Take special care to examine the heat
pump inside the carton if the carton is damaged.
If damage is found, it should be noted on the carrier’s freight bill.
Damage claims should be filed with the carrier immediately.
Claims of shortages should be filed with the seller within 5 days.
NOTE: If any damages are discovered and reported to the carrier,
do not install the heat pump because your claim may be denied.
Flush Refrigerant Lines
Refrigerant lines must be flushed by a licensed, EPA certified
refrigerant technician in accordance with established procedures.
NOTES:
■ R-410A outdoor systems are not recommended for use with
indoor systems that have used R-22 as the refrigerant.
However, if this unit is being matched with an approved line
set or indoor coil which was previously charged with R-22
refrigerant, or if it is being matched with a coil which was
manufactured before January of 1999, the R-22 coil and line
set must be flushed prior to installation.
■ Check the refrigerant lines for size and length. See “Connect
Refrigerant Lines.”
